First of all, I do not own transformers, second I do not intend to do slash pairings (at least thats not my goal around here), third I like reviews (lol), and fourth, this is based over my own life history with a transformers change into it, so basically the character you see here is me a few years back and what would probably happen if transformers intervened with it.

fith and most important: I do not know how often I'll update this, but I'll try my best.

As thoughtful, caring and forgiving as one could possibly be, sometimes that wasn't enough to avoid this situation. Yes, she thought, life seemed to bite back even if you tried not doing anything, wrong, especially in this particular case.

A young 14 year old ran for her life across the school field, behind her came a group of boys, they should be around 10 or 15, she really didn't want to count.

Skipping a few steps while gliding in the air with the force of her running speed she jumped over the bench and kept running towards the fence of the school.

The young brunette, fairly tall for her age, with dark brown eyes and incredibly messy hair looked around desperately trying to find another escape route, only to hear them very near already.

"Hurry! We have her now!" the young leader of the group shouted.

Seeing no other choice she quickly threw her back over the tall fence and climbed up the bars just in time to avoid getting on of her feet caught by a vicious grip.

"NOOOO!" she heard the boy yell angrily as she landed on the other side safely, he banged his fists on the bars uselessly, a few of his followers attempted to climb over the fence but they were either too heavy or had absolutely no talent in climbing.

"I'll get you back for this freak! Just you wait! I'm going to make you wish you never got away from me!" the boy snarled as she blankly stared at his face like a bored spectator would heartlessly watch a caged and ferocious animal.

"You do know your not making any sense don't you?" she said in the most monotonous voice one could ever find, her deep brown eyes were void of any possible emotion, this girl was by all means, unaffected by the threats these boys were throwing at her. It was actually quite interesting, considering she had shown some distress when running away from them, but it all seemed to be gone in an instant.

"I'll see you in class then…" she said waving them goodbye as the boy got even more enraged for her lack of emotion or fear, this wasn't a normal human being, definitely not a girl, usually they flocked all over him in a desperate attempt to get accepted.

This girl however- no- this THING, that abnormality of a human creature showed no interest in him, not that he was exactly the most attractive boy though, he was a bit shorter than her, had light brown curly hair and blue greenish eyes, his face wasn't the prettiest either, but in a world where teens are desperate for attention, popularity, money and green eyes he was one of the top most wanted.

Some people actually paid to be his friend; others did him services like doing whatever he commanded them to.

This person however, she was the only one in the entire school to defy him, she neither went for his taunting, his flirting, or his threats, she stood her ground, kept her pretty little morals and didn't fight back, but what irked him even more was that it seemed that no matter what he did, he just couldn't get to her, not even to make her admit he was the best!

He seethed in anger as he saw her retreat in the streets heading off somewhere nobody would find her for she was a hard person to find.

And this, was basically what life was like for Ashley as she stepped down the street watching the tree leafs roll by her feet with the low brisk wind keeping her mind blank, it was the easiest way to deal with it all, to keep everything blank, to think nothing, to feel nothing. She knew sooner or later she would have to go back to school for her next class, and she was certainly going to hear it from her teachers for jumping over the fence.

None the less, it was better than getting another of the daily beatings she got from that group, sadly the said group was part of her class, she really hadn't adjusted well to it, back when she was ten she had to move classes and ended up in this place, where she couldn't for the life of herself find a friend.

She shook her head trying to scare away her thoughts "Don't go that way" she told herself.

It had taken many betrayals and beatings to finally realise there was no hope, none at all, she found herself unable to trust another human being now, and as far as she knew, it could just very well stay that way.

She sat down in a street bench waiting for time to pass by, watching the leaves fall down from the trees as it was currently autumn, not a soul seemed to be present there beside her, and just how she liked it. When the bell from the school could be heard she knew it was time to go back, and boy was she going to hear it for running out of school grounds.

The last class of the day was uneventful, but she did notice a few glares from her classmates and knew that once the bell rang, it would be time to sprint as fast as possible to one of her hideouts.

However once the time came she found they didn't seem that interested anymore and were distracted by some of the class girls, so she hastily left trying to avoid attention.

The entrance hall was as usual crowded with students desperate to leave school and going back to their families, or even to go out with a few friends. Ashley searched for her parents in vain, once quick glance told her the obvious: they weren't there.

Her parents worked as teachers in the same school she was studying at, and for this reason many times had teacher meetings and would take hours before coming to get her and at least take her home. Today seemed to be just another one of those days, she sat down in one of the waiting chairs and observed as the remaining students went by.

Hours passed, first it was 6 p.m., then seven…then eight….finally it was eleven p.m. and her parents still hadn't come, she sighed getting up from her seat and taking one last glance at the hall in hopes to find the ones she waited so long for, nothing came.

"Might as well get out of here before the night guard starts getting suspicious…" she said to herself walking out the door and into the darkened street. Hardly any cars were left, the ones that were there probably belonged to the teachers, well all but the two Lamborghinis down the street, those were just too ridiculously expensive for teachers to buy, unless of course they had a very rich husband, but that didn't seem the case in this place for she knew all the teachers there since she was little. She noted however another racing car was behind them, but she didn't know what model it was or even to what company it was from, she didn't knew much about cars anyway and had little interest in them, but she did know when a car was expensive just by looking at one and these were some of those cases.

"Hmmm…maybe the garage on the end of the street bought them?" there was a little car shop there, nothing too much, you could hardly see it anyway, her father usually said it was there so that when you went to get your car fixed and brought it back, the student's parent's cars could bust it right at the exit again.

Shaking that thought away she calmly walked down the street, heading back home, it was no use waiting any longer, if her parents hadn't come yet, then they were sure to stay there until one or two a.m., and by now she was starving, in need of food, and with a whole pile of nasty homework to do. She turned around the corner to face a road that usually took a lot of energy to get across, especially because it went up, and it had very uneven soil so you could slip easily and get tired at the same time, not to mention what would happen in the eventuality that one fell.

Taking a deep breath she went for the first step but stopped abruptly upon hearing something, suspicious she looked around, it didn't take long to catch a small movement by the dustbins, the form of a boy, partly hidden in the shadows, and by the way he was reacting he wasn't alone.

"Figures" she said to herself turning her back on him and keeping on her path, though increasing her pace a little. The sound of hurried footsteps alarmed her though, but she didn't turn back, if she did she knew it would only keep dragging them behind, but if she didn't they would come sooner and get this over with.

Oh yes, she wasn't afraid of these people, she knew them quite well, it seems they had been waiting after classes to get to her once again. She knew they wouldn't go anywhere too far, after the beating they would just gloat over their amazing "victory" over the monster and leave her there.

Right when she was about to reach the end of the steep street something crashed against her body and both went smashing against the hard ground harshly. She heard the roar of an engine from far away

They got a ride this time? Who gives these lunatics a ride?! Were her thoughts.

She felt various hands on her back and legs and found herself being pulled up by the arms so as to face another face, to her it was just about the most disgusting one on earth, not because of physical traits, but because of what those eyes meant, what that snobbish smirk told, of how happy he was he was going to get his little "revenge"

"I see you finally got to me." She couldn't help but make such a remark, she knew just where to press to make this guy angry and if she was going to get a beating from him and his little friends, she might as well make him really hate her to the point he would never be satisfied, they would never stop anyway…

His eyebrows hardened knitting together showing his obvious irritation, and I couldn't help but let a sly smile form on my lips.

" You are going to pay for what you did today freak!" he said poison dripping in his voice.

"And would that have been?" she asked rolling her eyes as if this was the most boring channel on tv and she was forced to watch it.

" Don't get smart with me!" a punch in the gut was his first strike as his rage was getting fuelled.

"Pity, that's the one thing you can't do right? That's why you're so angry I am" she managed to croak between her gasps of pain, mostly just because it had made it hard to breathe rather than the pain itself, she was used to the pain by now.

Another fist came flying towards her, only this time to the face, his fellows cheered and laughed with excitement as her mind spun for a little while and she was barely able to register the sound of engine once more in the background.

"You take that back you monster!" he growled gripping her neck with a vicious grip. "You take that back and admit you're nothing more than just a monster; everyone knows what you are and who you are! Its time you admit it yourself!"

Making sure her fingers were in between his on her neck just enough to get in some air she managed to croak out.

"What? Was there every any doubt that I wasn't so sickening as your kind are?" that did it, she was thrown to the ground and before she knew it a shower of fists and feet came in every direction, she immediately covered her vital areas to avoid any cracked bones or serious injuries, this had happened so many times she had to learn how to do so.

This time she heard it so close she thought she was going to be run over, the sound of the engine roared and the headlights shined upon them with such strength it blinded them for a few minutes, then she realised it wasn't just one engine, but two. Slowly uncovering her face to face her doom she found the boys were still around her, only all of them were staring dumfounded – and with good reason – to two gigantic robots hovering above them with what looked pretty pissed off expressions. Or as far as one can tell from a metallic face made of various small platting.

"That's just about enough" the one on the right said crouching down to be a little more at their eye level, although he was made of metal parts, that suspiciously looked like a car's, he had red paint all around some larger platting, his eyes…wait could those even be considered eyes? They were blue metal, like headlights or something. But of a most impressive blue that could just hypnotize someone.

The boys had all just about the similar reaction, stutter, slowly back away, turn around and scream for their lives while they run as fast as their legs could carry them.

The red robot stood back up staring at them in the far distance and nodding once with a "humph!" took a step back to be side by side with the other one that also glared at the distance, behind these two she could see now, was a third one, with light blue plating, he was particularly different from the ones in front, those two only had the colours different, but all three had the same blazing blue "eyes".

They seemed to finally realise she was still there on the ground staring at them with probably the most shocked face they could find on a human, not that they had had the chance yet, apart from right now they hadn't taken their bipedal forms since arriving on this planet.

"You okay there kid?" the red one spoke once more. His yellow companion kept staring at the direction the teens had gone.

She opened and closed her mouth several times trying to speak but found out her voice was missing at the moment and merely managed to nod every so lightly, afraid that the minimum movement would actually make them attack or something.

"Sunny I think it has a problem with its vocalizer…" he said referring to the yellow robot who for the first time averted his gaze downwards.

"Or maybe you just scared the scrap out of it" his cohort said in a rather harsh and rude tone.

The red one elbowed him before leaning down once more apparently trying to be less intimidating.

"Hey there, its okay, we're not gonna hurt ya, well I wouldn't trust my brother here too much but he probably wouldn't want to get even an inch near you."

Ashley stared at him, more conscious of the beating of her heart and the proximity than what he was actually saying.

"Erm…I did download the right language didn't I? You understand me right?" he looked towards the other two a bit helplessly " aw c'mon you guys! Give me a servo here!" the lighter blue came onto the light revealing its form a bit better, she noted he looked a lot more athletic than the other two who if she could put it in human terms were a bit more muscle and less agility.

"Um….look" said the red one recapturing her full attention" I know its is going to sound stupid but could you please not tell what just happened? You know? Seeing large robotic autonomous beings?" he said in a ridiculously pleading tone, to which she could only raise an eyebrow in question.

His brother snorted looking away once more " Nice sides, maybe you can go on and ask for it to get us a nice hide out and some high grade while your at it."

"Your not helping Sunny!" the red one protested in a pitiful whine." The little guy is probably scared to death, maybe we broke it…" he said reaching with a finger to poke her, she swatted at it as if it was a nasty fat fly and gritted her teeth at him

"I'm not a guy!" she said angrily surprising the three robots.

"Wellthatanswersyourquestion" came the incredibly fast reply of the lighter blue.

"What the hell are you?!" she asked trying to crawl away from the still stunned red robot previously referred as sides.

"You know we asked just about the same thing when we found out about your species, how do you live with your greasy selves?" the yellow one asked giving her a look of disgust.

"Sorry don't mind him, his a bit of a….er…what was that we read about Blurr? That old story about the guy who passed his life watching himself in the mirror?" sides asked the lighter blue.

"Narcist?" came the reply of both the blue robot and the girl on the ground.

"Oh yeah, that was the guy….weird name…but the description fits sunstreaker here perfectly" he said pointing to his brother. "I'm sideswipe by the way, and this is Blurr, we just arrived on the planet and were waiting for one of our friends to come pick us up when we saw the commotion and well…" he hesitated a bit in his cheerful explanation.

"And sides here couldn't help himself and just HAD to get out into the open!" Sunstreaker growled angrily.

"Well I couldn't just stand there and do nothing!" he complained " Besides my joints were going to rust if I kept sitting there another cycle!" His brother rolled his eyes away apparently out of patience to deal with this argument and the sides smiled triumphantly.

"Anyway, you okay there little guy?" he aid turning her direction once more.

"I'm not a guy!" she said angrily getting to her feet and dusting off some of the dirt on her clothing.

"Really? I can't really tell much of the difference in your species, I thought the males usually wore those types of attire." He said pointing to her cloths.

Ashley had been pretty much of a tomboy whenever it came to clothing, choosing large hoodies most of the time and good running pants, she couldn't help it if she had to run for her life daily…

"What are YOU?" she asked giving him a once over fearfully, this was one of the few times she actually felt fear for something, though not as much now since they seemed to be in the least friendly…well at least friendlier than the teens at school.

"Autonomousroboticbeingsfromcybertronsorautobotsforshortifyouwant,notthatitmatterssinceyouwon'tbeseeingusanymoreaftertonightthatis." Came blurr's reply, to which she just slowly shook her head and asked.

"what?"

"Just calls us autobots, its easier, and we're from another planet up there" said sideswipe pointing to the sky."now about not talking about us…" he said with a pleading tone and keeping up his best smile, clapping his hands in front of him in a begging motion.

"Don't worry, no one would believe me anyway" she said hesitantly approaching him, he held out a hand for her to inspect it, both were just about as curious for the other as one could get. " So your basically…living…robots…you are living right?" she asked.

"And your basically living fat, or we think you are alive right?" asked sunstreaker rather rudely as it seemed to be his usual.

"Right…I suppose if you put it that way…."she said touching sideswipe's hands to make sure she wasn't just hallucinating.

"Then you won't tell?" sideswipe asked hopeful, probably trying to fix his mistake to get out into the open.

"Sure…it wouldn't make a difference if I didn't though. You said you were waiting for someone, are there more like you?"

"Well don't you sound rather interested" sunstreaker said suspiciously.

"Well you seem nicer than my kind" she said shrugging truthfully. " I was just wondering if there were more like you." Both Sideswipe and Blurr looked at her bewildered and then back at sunstreaker who was also a bit shocked.

"Congratulations sunny! You were just called a nice individual!" sideswipe teased laughing.

Sunny just growled and once again looked away, though when the other two set their attentions back on Ashley she noted he looked back with a small smile.

"To answer your previous question yes, his a friend of ours and is supposed to take us back to base but it should still be a few more hours before he gets here…so…need a ride home?" the question was so unexpected that even the other two seemed surprised.

"Whaddya mean ride? If you cross the city your going to attract a whole lot of attention!" now that she thought of it how DID those three manage to hide until now?

Sideswipe merely chuckled and stepped back, gears and bolts suddenly moved on all three of them and before she could even muster the control to blink two Lamborghinis and the racing car from before were in front of her, headlights glaring at her defiantly.

The driver's door of the red lambo opened invitingly.

"Well c'mon! We don't have all night!" came sideswipe's voice from the car, his engine revving in what she supposed was excitement.

"A stash of high grade in how sides will make the human throw her insides out before we get to our new destination" sunstreaker said over the car radio as she came in, the seatbelt strapping onto her by itself.

15 minutes later she wobbled over to the glass door from the building her apartment was in. " that was..."

"don't say it was too fast," sides quickly interrupted her " be glad you weren't inside Blurr, he is far faster than me"

"awesome!" she finished turning around with eyes as big as dinner plates, usually it took a lot longer to reach her home and they had even side tracked with the car's excitement.

"I-oh!" he said realising the human actually liked it instead of nearly dying of a hear tattack. "Glad you liked it!" he said cheerfully. Just then the radio went on with another voice.

"Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Blurr, come in, this is Bumblebee speaking." The voice was rather young but it was definitely that of a guy's.

"This is Sunstreaker speaking Bumblebee, we're still waiting, what's your ETA?"the yellow lambo asked.

"ETA should be in ten minutes, but I have a little bit of a company following me right now, is the area you are at safe for transformation?"

"Roger that, there's a few fields next to these buildings, should provide enough cover, who's following you?" He sounded a bit too excited about this friend.

"that would be our dear old friend Barricade, think you can prepare a last minute welcome party for him?" the voice sounded somewhat amused and it seemed whoever was there was driving pretty fast.

An actual chuckle came from the grouchy bot and the three looked somewhat amused.

"Sure Bee, we've been holding a few surprises for that fellow..."

They then apparently turned off the communication links.

"Ashley, it was really nice to meet you, but we should be going now, its best you don't get in the way" sideswipe said in a bit of a rush.

"Why do you say that like there's trouble coming? I thought this was your friend?"

"Ah...it's a bit hard to explain, and I would really rather not talk about it, its best you don't get involved in our battle."

Her face suddenly hardened and she approached the red car glaring at it, sideswipe actually backed away a few inches.

"Why are you mad?" he asked a bit fearfully.

"Battle?" she repeated in a cold tone. "Did you just say battle?"

"er....yes?" he chanced. Her hands suddenly slammed onto his hood surprising the three bots. Sides tried his best not to wince, this human, although small could look scary...

"Look human" Sunstreaker interrupted feeling his brother's hesitance "this is dangerous, when we say go home, we MEAN go home, and trust me, we usually break these rules but this is the number one rule we don't break. Now get back in and stay there. If you hang around with us any longer its likely you'll get killed."

She turned her glare to the yellow lambo as if she was about to slam his hood as well.

"Oh no you don't!" he shouted reversing quickly" you're not getting your dirty hands on my beautiful paint job!"

"Sunny, ETA 5 minutes!" came Bumblebee's voice through the radio again.

"Slag!" cursed sideswipe "Ashley go inside! C'mon don't make this hard on us!"

"NO! I don't want you guys to fight!"

"But Ashley-!" just then the sounds of sirens could be heard and at the end of the street one could perfectly see a yellow car with black stripes on the hood, behind it came a police car, her eyes became as big as dinner plates.

"Your running away from the cops?!" she asked bewildered.

"Oh slag...." the three quickly transformed and before she could protest sideswipe grabbed her a bit too quickly and handing her over to Blurr.

"Your the fastest, get her out of here somewhere safe! We'll take care of Barricade"

"No!" Ashley interrupted him " Don't fight!"

"Sorry kid, this is something we have to do even if we don't want to" Sunstreaker said, for the first time sounding somewhat affected by the small human.

"letsgothen" blurr said, and before she knew it felt like her stomach was going to come out through her mouth, the scenery flew past her eyes as the robot ran with a speed she thought wasn't possible unless in a serious army vehicle. When he stopped he put her down and not a second too soon she threw up the little food she had left inside.

"areyouallright?"asked the robot behind her seemingly concerned for making her throw up. She took a few deep breaths until she was sure she wouldn't throw up anymore and glared at the light blue being.

"Why did you do that?! They could get hurt back there! Take me back!"

"I'mafraidIcan'tdothatforIhavesplicitordersnottodosohoweverImustleaveyouherefornowinordertohelpmycohortsinbattlesostayoutoftroubleok?"

It took around one minute to translate exactly what he said.

"So your just leaving me here?!" she asked looking around for the first time, it was a lonely neighbourhood, few lights, dirty streets and obviously no one around.

"I'llbebackshortlyoncetheareaissafeagain"and before she could stop him he sped off making his name suitable for he was just like a blur passing by.

"Great, what am I? a little 5 year old? Geez…and he just leaves me here!" she looked around the empty street " well…might as well try and find a coffee shop or something…I sure as heck ain't gonna stay out here…" and with that went off.

Fortunately there was a small starbucks shop just around the street, and it was quite odd how the place looked a lot livelier than before.

While sitting in a nice comfortable chair and drinking a strawberry smoothie just so it wouldn't look bad to stay there she actually managed to start thinking rationally.

Hn…that was probably a way to just get rid of me…

Now why would they do that? Came a second voice inside her mind, to this she called her voice of reason, it was something that came with being alone for so many years.

Well in case you haven't noticed, he just left me in an empty street I don't even know of and left!

He did say he was going to come back…

Yeah…he and what army? Look that was just a way to quiet me down and leave…

Can't hurt to check back at the street now and then can it? Or do you intend to stay here all night and let your parents worry over where you are?

"shit!" she cursed checking her wrist watch it was past 1 A.M. " how the hell is this coffee shop still open?!" she hissed to herself getting up from the table and paying for her drink, dashing out the door and heading back to the street blurr left her at.

To no surprise no one was there. She sighed in disappointment sitting down at the edge of the street and looking at both sides of the road. It was a dead silence.

"Great…I don't know where I am….I must be loosing my mind for actually believing gigantic intelligent robots exist…probably hallucinated all the way here…or maybe I'm just dreaming…" she said to herself, with a small groan from the headache she was creating for herself she duck her head between her knees gripping at her hair tightly. " and I need to get home…"

Her eyes were feeling heavy already, her body ached from the beating just a few hours before and it was getting rather cold. Blinking once or twice she didn't even notice when the darkness took over, to her it only seemed like a second passed before she felt something warm and hard touch her back. Raising her head slightly she looked up confusedly at two blue lights, rubbing her eyes a bit to shrug the sleep away and see a bit more clearly she identified the face of sideswipe who was poking at her with a metallic finger.

"Hey…" was her stiff reply as she looked around, the other two were with him and a new member stood next to him, at first she thought it was sunstreaker because of the yellow colouring but then she saw that he had different looks and the helmets were definitely different. "Who's your friend?"

"Good your all right, for a moment there I thought Blurr killed you and left you here." Sideswipe said rising back to his full height. "And this is our friend Bumblebee"

"Pleasure to meet you" said the rather scratchy voice of the smaller yellow robot leaning down and handing a finger for her to shake it.

"Er… pleasure's all mine? I guess? I actually thought I imagined you guys!"

"Why would you think that?" asked a somewhat hurt sideswipe.

"Well you ARE a gigantic robot who happens to be able to change into a lambo and you speak with intelligence…should I not think I was having a mental breakdown?"

"Right…they don't get to see many of us do they?" he asked Bumblebee rubbing the back of his helm as if he was a bit embarrassed.

"No, actually not a single one of them should know of us" Bumblebee said rising back to face his friend " and you two just happen to as usual break the rules as soon as you land here, do you realise the trouble this will cause?"

"Well then it's a good thing Prowl isn't here yet!" commented the cheerful mech while his brother stifled a chuckle as if the comment amused them equally.

"It means we have to take the human back with us now, the government will want to know about this!"

"What?!" she interrupted surprising them a bit, though Bumblebee didn't seem that surprised.

"Well yes, I believe this must be a bit hard for you, eventually they will let you come back but we need to clear some issues referring to you knowing of our existence."

"Namely brainwashing me"

"No…they just want to make sure you don't say anything you shouldn't" he corrected, but she kept her sceptic gaze on him.

"I'm getting brainwashed." She plainly put out looking around the street and getting to her feet, finally deciding which path to take in order to find her home.

"Where are you going?"

"Where do you think? Home! I'm not staying behind to have my mind cleaned, no thank you." She said giving a small wave, but before she could take another step one of them grabbed her b the shirt pulling her in the air"ack!hey!watch it! Don't rip the shirt!" she was then put down in a hand where she barely fit in and stared up defiantly at Bumblebee who seemed not angry at all but somewhat reluctant.

"I'm sorry, but we have orders, and its either us or the government comes and gets you."

"She probably actually likes that idea better though, it is her own kind…" commented sunstreaker nearing the two other mechs.

"Actually that assumption would be wrong my dear friend, humans tend to be the species I most despise" she said mocking Bumblebee's choice of words and style.

"Huh? But your one of them"

"Doesn't mean I like it does it?" she said crossing her arms with a pout.

The four mech exchanged looks between them before nodding and putting her back down.

"Then you'll be coming with us!" sideswipe said excitedly.

"Does it sound like I have any other choice? Can you guys at least take me home first? I'll need to get some stuff so we can go to….where are we going again?"

"Nevada" Bumblebee answered seeming a bit calmer now that the human agreed to go with them, honestly the mission could be a lot harder if she fought back, and he'd only said the Government Issue to scare her into coming. "Hoover dam to be more precise."

"Nevada? But that's miles away! It'll take-"

"Five days, yes…I know trust me."

"I'm going to need clothes…" she commented rubbing the back of her head thoughtfully.

"I'm afraid there will be no time to stop by your house, we're on a tight agenda and the former appearance of our enemy means it just became even shorter."

"Oh…that reminds me…" she said crouching down and picking up two rocks proceeding with throwing them at the startled lambos. " Don't you guys ever do that to me again!!!" she all but screamed. They both winced at the tone in her voice while Bumblebee and Bluur chuckled transforming into their car modes.

"Wait then what am I going to do about clothing? I can't just leave and wear this everyday!" she said pointing at her attire.

"I have some emergency clothing in my trunk" came Bumblebee's voice.

"You do?" was the bemused reply of sideswipe as he and his brother also transformed.

"Why on cybertron would you have that inside you?" sunstreaker questioned with disgust to which the yellow camero only replied.

"Part of being a guardian sunny, you get used to it after a while, well then er…" he hadn't cought her name yet.

"Ashley"

"Right, Ashley, hop in, it's a long way and we better get going, if you have any more questions we'll a-answer" his voice failed in mid sentence " a-a-along the-" was that coughing she heard? "way…"

"You okay bee?" was Sunstreaker's worried reply."Your vocalizer is still damaged isn't it?" his answer was a wiring sound.

"What happened?" she asked approaching the car with cautiousness.

"His vocalizer got damaged before he came here, we thought Ratchet had fixed it but scratchy sounds kind of gave away, you probably can't talk too much without making it hurt again can you?" sideswipe explained as she closed the door.

Suddenly Bumblebee's radio blarred on with a song just about anyone would recognize

"I WILL SURVIVE!I WILL SURVIIIVEEE!" she couldn't help but snort in reply.

"Well there's an alternative communication level." she leaned back in the seat and let out a long exhausted sigh, she didn't actually realise how tired she was until they started driving out of town and the heater was turned on.

Her eyelids dropped and she fell into a restful slumber, comfortable with the warmth and the nice smell of the leather seats.

like it?hate it? review it! seriously it makes stories better.
