The room was dark. The only thing that gave me light was the orange street lights and the stars that accompanied the night sky. I looked beside me, and my friend was sleeping peacefully with a light snore. I smiled. I felt really thankful to have her as my only friend. A sigh escaped through my lips and I turned towards the window to watch the stars. My friend told me there was going to be a meteor shower tonight. I really wanted to watch it from a good view- say, a roof or something. Although, my friend and I couldn't get up there since we had a curfew at the Orphanage.

"Hmm… And I really wanted to see it for myself, too!" I thought, pouting and furrowing my brows. I sighed again, only to be defeated by these building's rules. I turned my back to the window as I hoped to get some shut-eye. Then, I heard a distant, metal screeching sound that seemed like it was clashing with the Earth's atmosphere. I sat up immediately and looked out my window. There I saw, what seemed like a transportation pod, fly through the sky. I couldn't help but to throw my bed sheets aside and plopped out of bed to reach my friend.

"Hey! Hey, Susie!" I whispered while I was shaking one of her shoulders.

"Hn? Whaaaat?" She merely moaned and tried to wave my hand off of her.

"There's something falling from the sky! You have to take a look at it with me!" I told her, looking between the window and my sleepy friend.

"What? You mean the meteor shower?" She was slightly more awake now as she rubbed her eyes.

"N-No! It's not the meteor shower… It's something else!" I told her, shaking her shoulder even more.

"What else could it be—"

Susie was interrupted by a huge shake on the floor. This shocked the both of us, and we held each other for dear life as the floor began to shake more vigorously below us. We screamed a bit, hoping that the shaking would end soon. And just as we had hoped, the shaking finally stopped. We looked at each other in ease, and we both sighed simultaneously. Our door was slammed open by the Orphanage director who looked seriously worried.

"Are you two alright?" The director asked us. Both of us looked at each other, then nodded.

"Thank goodness… I sure hope that wasn't the meteorite. Those things don't really land on Earth very often. At least, not in our area." She continued as she held onto the doorknob.

Suddenly, I heard something in my ear- as if someone, or something was calling out to me. I looked out the window. My mind was filled with a language I couldn't comprehend. It was definitely a foreign language, but the question is: what language is it?

"Sophie… Sophie… Sophie!" The director called out my name.

Her yell snapped me out of that strange moment, and I looked at her apologetically.

"I-I'm sorry… I was just… spacing out." I hesitantly replied as I was expecting another one of her dreadful lectures.

The director sighed and closed the door halfway. "Sophie… What am I going to do with you? If only you weren't stuck in your own little world, you would have been adopted by now. Isn't that what you want? To be adopted?"

Those words… truly hurt. Of course I wanted to be adopted, really. But why is it so bad for me to be interested in something that I wish to pursue? Why? I can't be adopted because I'm into extraterrestrial stuff?

I didn't reply to her question. I only looked down to the corner of the room and bit my bottom lip. I heard the director sigh and close the door rather… aggressively. Susie, on the other hand, tried to console me.

"You know she's only saying that because she's thinking about your future." Susie lightly patted my shoulder. Pissed, I brushed her hand off of me.

"Yeah, thinking of sending me far away and not wanting to deal with me." I stomped my way towards the window and leaned myself forward onto the window sill.

"That's not what she would want-"

"Susie, why should you be worried about me? You should be worried about yourself… since you're going to your adoptive parents soon." I looked her in the eyes. She did the same. Her eyes were always so huge and so green. I envied her beauty… as well as her being adopted.

"Because you're my friend, Sophie. My first and only friend." She nodded with a gentle smile. I admit, I couldn't stay mad at her- not with those eyes. There was a long pause between us, as I've only been staring at her. I looked down to our feet, and shuffled mine. I finally sighed and went to the closet to grab my sneakers. I also grabbed a jacket and put it over my blue PJ dress. After I closed the closet, I ran over to my drawers. I took out some hiking rope I found in the basement and tied it around the hanger that was built into the wall. It was right next to the window, and just as I did so, Susie knew exactly what I was about to do.

"Wh-What are you doing, Sophie? Are you seriously going to sneak out?" She whispered, trying to look at me in the face. I ignored her question and began to climb out of the window. Luckily, there was a second roof that can smoothly drop someone to the first floor and onto the street.

"Sophie—"

"I'm going to check out the thing that crashed onto the ground. Stay quiet, and don't try to stop me." I held onto the rope as I began to slowly walk down the roof. I slid down a bit just to get to the floor faster, which was a success. I landed onto the sidewalk as quietly as I could, and looked back up at Susie. She looked worriedly with her head out of the window. All I did was gave her a reassuring smile, and began to ran towards the crash site.

I could see the light of the fire that was on the transportation pod a few yards away. This lead me to an abandoned house lot, which was acres long. The light was just behind the house. I peaked behind the wall of the house, seeing something that was just unbelievable to the human eye. My eyes widened, seeing what I believed to be a gigantic…

"Robot alien…" I whispered in complete awe. Before me, was a huge, robotic alien that was lying lifelessly on the ground. There was a sign on the transportation pod… I wonder what it is. I took a step closer, trying to get a better look at the damage. I would say the damage was pretty devastating. Then again, it seemed like this alien robot was already injured before it landed here. It must have been in some battle or something. I wouldn't know. Then I noticed something on its palm. It seems to be a kind of space stone. I tilted my head a bit, trying to get a better look at the object. I subconsciously walked closer and closer until I finally squatted down to look at it within my reach. I looked between the robot's face and the stone, as I was being cautious of the robot still being alive. The voice entered my mind again, only this time with voices. Again, I didn't understand what in the world these voices were talking about, but for some strange reason, I thought they were telling me to touch this stone as if it would give me incredible powers or something. Of course, I didn't really believe it at first. Although, without even thinking about it, I reached towards the stone as if I was ordered to. Once I touched the stone… Man, it was the strangest, most painful, and exhilarating feeling I have ever felt in my entire 15 years of my life.

"You are truthfully the most foolish human being. With your powers, Lord Megatron will rise up once again."


Author's note: Whoa! Cliffhanger! Haha. Well, what do you guys think of the prologue? I know it's confusing right now, but you'll get it soon enough in the next chapter. Also, as a side note, this story is taken place right after Revenge of the Fallen. I, at least, wanted to clear that up. LOL.

Ever since I've watched Transformers: Dark of the Moon, I've been hooked to Transformers! xD I'm a bit noobish on the Autobot/Decepticon names, but I'll make sure to make that cleared up as well. Please stay tuned for the next chapter!
