[] Quiet! I know I should be working on other stuff, but this story has been plaguing my brain! Don't hurt me! D: []

I didn't expect my life to turn upside down over one little thing.. Okay, hacking into the government's top secret files wasn't little, but still! Who knew giant robots ruled the world? Who knew that a cartoon was actually real! That little voice nagging me in the back of my head was right. Messing with things you don't understand is never good, especially when you discover your whole world is a lie.

~/~/~/~

My finger roamed around the keyboard, quickly tapping the keys as the security windows popped up. Sweat beads coated my forehead, in which I wiped away promptly. It was scary, this was scary. Hacking the government files was risky, hell, I could be sent to prison for life. But I had to know, what was the sighting of the alien craft that crashed in California? Was it real? God only knew, well, the Government would anyway.

I was curious.. Too curious for my own good. The little voice gnawing away at me told me so. Once I know the truth I'll feel better… I reassured myself.

"Shit!" I cursed to myself, a small red siren icon in the corner of my screen pinged loudly to notify me I was in trouble. Retracing my steps I quickly fixed the problem and proceeded on. I was deep, oh way deep. I knew there were only a few more security fire walls to pass to until I hacked the database.

"Please dear God, don't fail me now computer skills!" A large red window popped up stating.

'WOULD YOU LIKE TO ENTER?'

Clicking yes, I waited what seemed like forever. The hourglass turned over and over, I counted at least fifteen times. At last it opened.

'CALIFORNIA ATTACK' My eyes roamed over the words before reading under them.

'DECEPTICONS RECOVERED ANOTHER OF THEIR COMRADS FROM SPACE. DESIGNATION: SKYWARP. ALTERNATION FORM F-18 HORNET. MEGATRON HAS INFORMED US TO TELL THE NATION IT WAS A TERRORIST ATTACK. DEATH COUNT: 118.'

My jaw hung open, I couldn't believe my eyes. Megatron? From that Transfamers, err.. Transformers show? I shook my head not wanting to believe this. Over the past few months there had been various 'crashes' and 'terrorist' attacks across the U.S. But this, this was too much. Giant robots ruled over the U.S. and more were coming.

Rubbing my temples I exited out of the screen, shutting off my laptop and walking out of my room. I lived in an apartment on Lake Erie front of Ohio. Stepping onto my balcony I looked over at the lake. It was a shimmering blue, of course from the distance. Sunrays bounced off the surface giving it a shining look, it was a nice day in the middle of the summer.

"This can't be real.." I whispered to myself, "None of this. Megatron is a cartoon character.. The Decepticons, its fake." Even if my reasoning was right, I knew deep down inside if the government actually recorded this.. It was oh-so very real.

Tearing myself from the balcony's railing, I shuffled back inside closing the screen door. Glancing at the clock mounted above my television I read it was 4:30pm. Lacing my fingers through my locks I sighed deeply. I'll just take a shower and rest. I thought to myself. Retreating back into my room I stripped off my closes tossing them onto my bed.

CRACKLE

Spinning around where I heard the sparking noise, my eyes led me to my laptop.

"I swore I turned that off." I mumbled. Tiptoeing over to the device I shut it, then placed it under my bed.

"Stay." I ordered. After a moment, I was satisfied that my laptop wouldn't bark back at me, I slipped out my room and into the bathroom. Two white towels were placed on the sink, one smaller than the other on top.

Turning the knob, the water from the showerhead gushed out. Stretching out my hand to feel the water's temperature I frowned, turning the other knob labeled 'C'. Feeling that the water was to my licking I pushed aside the shower curtain and stepped inside. Moving the curtain back in its original place, I allowed the warm water to easy my frayed nerves.

It doesn't matter, I'll just forget about this and go on with my life. I doubt the.. Uhh Decepticons, would want to come to Ohio.. Reaching for the shampoo I lathered it through my hair, massaging my scalp.

Heh, the-what were they called? Oh yeah!-Autobots will take care of them I'm sure. Rinsing the soap from my hair I reached for the bar of soap next to me. Rubbing myself down thoroughly, I quickly rinsed the suds off of myself. Deciding I didn't want anymore than just a five minute shower I turned off the water.

Moving the curtain aside I grabbed the small white towel wrapping my hair up in the classic towel turban. Then taking the larger towel and wrapping it around myself. Stepping in front of the mirror I wiped the condensation off the glass and looked over myself.

The same hazel eyes, pale skin, and dark blonde hair. Nothing had changed since the last time. Sure, I wasn't ugly.. But I wasn't perfect. My thighs were a little on the chubby side and I thought my stomach was fat, but hey.. I guess it could be worse.

Shuffling out of my bathroom I returned to my bedroom, pulling a bra and panties from my drawer. Making sure I wiped myself done, I dawned the said materials of clothing, then taking an Invader Zim T-shirt from my pj drawer and a pair of boy shorts I slipped into them feeling refreshed.

I plopped down on my bed rolling over to face my dull gray wall. I often spent hours looking at it, I couldn't honestly help it.. I thought a lot. Maybe that's why I became a hacker, or learned to be one anyway. I think to much.

FRITZ,CRACKLE,BANG.

I screamed hearing the loud mini explosion from under my bed. Hopping onto the floor I peaked under, smoke was rising. Coughing I fanned it away looking to see where the source came from.

"Oh no.. Not my laptop!" I groaned pulling out the smoking piece of machinery. I frowned.

"At least I can hold a funeral for you later.." Sighing I placed my broken laptop on my desk. By this time my fire alarm was blaring. Taking my pillow I fanned it to make it shut up. After about 5 minutes of flailing my arms around it stopped. Moaning I once again dropped onto my bed pulling my pillow over my head. My eyes closed and I instantly fell into my dreams.

~/~/~/~/~

Large red eyes stared at me from a distance. I was trapped in some sort of cell, a jail cell maybe? Not lingering on the thought, my eyes widened in horror as the large red eyes took a shape around them. It was large, no HUGE! I heard clicks and clangs of metal as it looked as if the thing's skin moved. Soon it took its shape. It was a Transformer.

I opened my mouth to speak, but was cut off by a loud booming voice.

"Rica Diogardia. You know too much for your own well being. Thinkers don't survive long."

Darkness exploded from around me. The red eyes were the only source of light. I would have taken darkness over the glare of this monster.

~/~/~/~/~

I awoke hours later, my digital clock on my desk read 4:50am. A cold sweat coated my body. I felt sick, and scared. This couldn't be good. And as if things couldn't get worse, the ground below me began to tremble. In steady beats in came, like foot steps… Then it hit me.

"No.."

[]Like like? I know, I'll update other stuff soon. But isn't this sexy? Anyway, I'm not sure if I'll make this a romance or fluff story. You tell me.[]
