GG23: I swear on the All-Spark that I thought I got this updated already!

IA30: "Pats on head" There there sis, you're just overworking your little processor again.

LBL: Heh, just like everything else little.

GG23: I swear if I didn't love you...

LBL: Even if you didn't your...lil...hands would never reach me neck, and I don't sleep :P

IA30: "Sweatdrops" While they're busy being loving spark sisters allow me to disclaim

Hasbro is the owner of Transformers, and the named people, being the three of us, belong to ourselves. Enjoy.

GG23 and LBL: Grrrrrr

Petal, Mississippi. In the Hall household a young Mina lay asleep on her bed. It was a beautiful day. The birds were chirping outside, the bright sunlight was peering through the blinds and the sound of the alarm shattered it all. Reaching up she switched the alarm clock off which read 6am. 'Still early' she thought as she picked up her Blackberry phone to log onto gmail and see if her friend Jenna or Alex had replied. She checked the dates of the e-mails she received from them but was disappointed that neither had replied yet. 'Dammit, still no reply from those two. What could they be doing?' thought the young seventeen year old as she got out of bed. It had already been three days since her last contact with her dear friends, whom she considered to be her spark siblings. Knowing them they probably were busy corroborating in writing a fan fic. Stretching her stiff muscles she decided to take a shower. As she was about to enter her room's bathing area she heard muffled shouts coming from downstairs. 'Huh. It's only been twelve minutes since I got up and already they're fighting.' Her dad divorced her mom when she was younger but remarried again to some weird woman she didn't even like. This early morning banter between them was a normal thing to her so she paid it no heed and proceeded to shower herself. School finals were coming up and she didn't want to be late for the review classes.

After the shower she blow dried her hair and put on her favourite Transformers memorabilia: a Decepticon emblem embroidered on a purple cotton T-shirt. She also wore purple tights under her denim mini skirt and slipped on her sneakers. Picking up her notes on her study table she figured that the two wayward friends might come online later on so she took her mini laptop with her just in case. This laptop was a gift to her from her mother after getting higher grades in her 11th grade. . It contained her favourite villain team from Transformers.

At 7am she went to the kitchen to grab something to eat on the go and slipped on her Decepticon wristband that she got during Bot Con. Outside the weather was great but the forecast yesterday said to watch out for tornadoes. As part of her morning ritual she checked her mailbox for any package for her. She ordered the new Transformers Prime comics online the other week and it was due that day. Peering in the mail box she found what she had wanted, her thrill over getting the comic altered to confusion when she saw a small black device that resembled a USB flash disk type with a blinking red light. She picked it up and noticed a timer counting down. When it reached zero the red light was switched over to a green one, a vortex opened in front of her sucking her in. The last thing she ever heard amidst the din of the vortex's angry winds was her father's terrified voice calling her name. She disappeared from sight just as the vortex blinked out while Mr. Hall fell to his knees with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

Hangar 20 was the only facility built solely for research and the only hangar built near the coastline. It was also one of the few structures that had it's own power generation facility situated behind it. The reason behind it being built away from the main cluster of hangars further inland is that its occupants seem to make mistakes with their experiments. Most of said experiments explode upon activation. One such experiment was the ground bridge that brought about the arrival of two visitors from a parallel universe similar to this one, only that the Transformers never existed there and that they were just a form of entertainment.

Inside the hangar Wheeljack and Bulkhead were finishing up the preparations for reactivating the bridge. This time they would send a modified beacon similar to the ones Jenna and Alex found just three and a half days ago. "Okay, the main power feed's working fine. Alex, you will be the one to throw the beacon in. Arcee, position yourself behind him just in case the vortex starts sucking him in." Wheeljack gave the orders to the two and got a nod in return.

"Jackie, power's okay. You can turn it on." Bulkhead gave a thumbs up as the green Autobot pushed the final button.

Looking up to Wheeljack Alex said, "Ready when you are." He put the modified beacon on a mechanic's creeper and readied his foot. Arcee was just behind him to make sure he didn't get pulled in. When the gauge flashed the green light Wheeljack opened the bridge by pulling a lever. "Ground bridge activated. Do it Alex." Alex did as he was told pushing the beacon into the green void.

The vortex did the rest as it swallowed the beacon and sent it to the other side. Just like before it started to pull him in slowly as he was about to head to the observation deck. It was then that Arcee held him in a hug. And since she was a half metre taller than him his face was planted directly in the middle of her chest, breast plates shaped like female parts on either side of his head. Needless to say the position made the guy's head heat up faster than any fever ever could.

"Um, thanks Arcee." He said to her after she helped him get up the stairs, had they been in a manga or anime Arcee would have gotten blood on her chest due to Alex getting a pretty bad nose bleed.

The breeze blew past outside the lab where Jenna and Grimlock were lounging on the rocky cliff. A feeling of being embarrassed flowed through her bond with her spark brother and immediately knew it was because of Arcee's giggling. She smiled at his expense from a safe distance outside. Since she knew next to squat about engineering she asked to be excused and was joined by Grimlock by the cliff. Oooh spark bond, how you give me delicious teasing material.' she thought throwing pebbles into the sea. Seeing that they had a lot of spare time on their hands she went to her brute friend and asked ,"Hey Grim, what do Cybertronians such as yourself do to pass the time?"

" Grimlock would destroy other bots that tried to stand against him. What does humans do?" Grimlock felt smug remembering all the fallen warriors he'd deactivated with his strength and power.

Jenna thought about the various ways that humans entertained themselves and chose the most civil sounding answer." Well humans mostly use games to keep ourselves busy. Know any games you want to try Grim?"

Grimlock shook his head, he'd been secluded from civilization and didn't bother connecting to the world wide web for anything other than the spoken languages. Jenna sat facing her very large friend and thought of a game that could be quite entertaining for her," Would you like to try playing Hide N Seek? I will hide somewhere, you count to one hundred…slowly, and try and find me. If we play you have to find me without your sensors or that would be cheating." Grimlock nodded, he liked this game. It would be an excellent method for him to keep his tracking skills sharp if he ever got his sensors damaged.

Jenna took off and hid among the stand of trees near the lab, she chose that particular spot since she'd weaseled a pair of camo pants and a green shirt from Will. From her crouched spot she smiled watching Grimlock finish counting and start to turn this way and that searching for clues of her whereabouts. "Grimlock will find Jenna! Where are you?" he called out happily while going around the lab.

What she didn't count on was how rusty Grimlock's tracking skills had gotten over the years from dependence on his sensors. With her legs starting to fall asleep she got uncomfortable and started pacing behind the trees watching Grimlock all the while. Roughly two hours passed with Grimlock almost finding her twice but then going in the complete opposite direction. Her stomach began to cramp and rumble from need of a small snack.

Slightly worried about just HOW unaware Grimlock was without his sensors Jenna left her hiding spot to stand out in the open. Grimlock didn't seem to notice standing not too far away with his back turned to her. Cupping her hands around her mouth she yelled," I WIN GRIMLOCK!" Jenna had learned that elephants did not have the muscles to jump, Grimlock was bigger than an elephant but he still had the jumping capabilities and used them.

The giant robotic dinosaur not only jumped but he tripped over a nearby set of pipes and cables that just happened to carry the energy supply for the ground bridge. Jenna cringed watching the poor bot fall on his face, feeling responsible she ran over to his head. "Sorry about that Grim. You alright?"

"Grimlock is fine, puny pipes and cables and the ground cannot hurt Grimlock." Grimlock easily got back up on his feet and observed the damage he'd done to the protrusions that had caused his down fall. The urge to stomp on them was strong but he had agreed to be civil to inanimate objects while on base since everything seemed to be important to humans. Jenna was relieved to know Grimlock wasn't hurt but felt a wave of worry and slight anxiety come through her bond with Alex. Thinking the damaged pipes and cables might have caused something to go wrong she ran back for the lab to make sure everything was alright.

Inside Wheeljack tried his best to maintain the bridge's stability after experiencing a power surge. He then heard Alex run to the bridge to see what was off. Even Arcee joined him there since there's no telling what might happen if he stood there for too long without protection. "I thought you said you fixed the conduit already?" he asked as the bridge was slowly nearing complete shutdown.

"I did. But the problem seems to be outside." Bulkhead replied. The big jug immediately went through the hangar doors and headed towards the power generation building and found the crushed and flattened cause.

Jenna ran into the building somehow missing Bulkhead entirely, seeing Alex gave her minor relief as she saw the vortex begin to shimmer from the power fluctuations caused by that little accident outside. Nibbling on her bottom lip she moved over to Wheeljack for answers. "I'm no bridge expert but that doesn't look like it's doing to well."

Wheeljack checked the readout and grumbled back without looking away from the readings ,"Bad news is we're losing power to maintain the stability of the vortex. It seems that the conduit outside has been fragged. Bulkhead is on his way to check it. Good news is the modified beacon we sent earlier is on its way home. I think it's here. Alright, Arcee prepare to catch the package."

"That's our cue. Get ready Alex."Arcee handed her charge a baseball glove (which no one seemed to question where it had come from) and braced herself behind him from to make sure he wouldn't go flying from the impact of the beacon. The beacon zipped out of the vortex and landed nicely in the glove, Arcee took the beacon from Alex and handed it to Wheeljack, leaving Alex open for unenforced collision with the next thing to come out of the vortex.

A blond girl came flying through the vortex and landed on top of Alex. Feeling dizzy and disoriented, the girl slowly pulled herself together and focused her eyesight.'Ugh, that was one messed up awesome ride. Now where the hell am I?' she thought looking closely at her saviour. She never expected it to be the person she and her friend met online.

"Sweet Primus! It's the Asian dude connected to spark sister!" she shouted when she got up poking Alex with a piece of wood that got sucked through with her.

Movement from the corner of her eye drew her attention to her surroundings. Arcee approached the girl cautiously, looked down at flattened Alex and made a motion with her hands for the girl to move. Feeling too confused and kind of cooperative she did as asked. Arcee helped Alex to sit up and asked," You alright? That looked rather painful."

Jenna went over to both check on Alex and get a better look at the new unwilling traveller. She immediately recognized the familiar blond hair, the purple t-shirt and the wrist band. 'Wow, the odds are just ridiculous but it still happened' she thought while smiling widely and calling out, "MINA!"

Hearing her name called Mina turned towards the source of the voice."Jenna! It's you!" Both girls ran toward the other and hugged each other in mirth. While all this was happening Alex began to stir and dizzily asked, "Arcee, did you get the license plate of that blond that ran me over?" With that Arcee got her answer and giggled at his expense.
