Chapter One:

Welcome to Warman

Finally, the day had come.

She, Miranda, was getting to meet her long time friend, Emily.

They had been friends for at least 5 years, and though the their friendship had been long-distance, they were always there for each other in spirit and through yahoo messenger. No matter what happened, even the chaos in and of their day-to-day lives could do nothing to hinder their friendship.

Miranda was living on her own now, out of the house, and 19 years old. Driving, having a job of her own, and doing photography and artwork for people who had the money to pay her. She did her artwork as a hobby as well, but the thing she enjoyed most, was spending time with her friends, and drawing and roleplaying Transformers characters.

Emily herself was still in High School, 17 years old, younger than Miranda, but she could fool anyone into thinking she was Miranda's age just by her maturity level alone. She was driving and had a job of her own as well, working at a gas station in walking-distance to where she lived.

Miranda and Emily were very fond of Transformers, and both knew the characters in and out, backwards, and sideways. While Miranda was a Decepticon at heart, and Emily an Autobot, they got along anyway, and they only wished they could be with each other physically to enjoy the Transformers universe together.

Well finally, FINALLY the day had come. Miranda had gained enough money to venture to Emily's country, Canada. Miranda was from the United States of America, and she had always wanted to visit Canada someday anyway. But, Emily living there gave her even more of an insentive to visit the country.

Miranda was now in a taxi that was in Emily's neighborhood. She had ventured a long way, but now, she was in Warman, so close to Emily's house. She finally had the taxi driver stop when she spotted Emily's house, and got out, getting all of her bags out of the taxi and putting them on the sidewalk. She payed the taxi driver before the taxi drove off.

Miranda sighed slightly with a smile as she began to walk up to Emily's house door, struggling to hold her bags as she reached for the doorbell.

The door was suddenly thrown open, Emily standing there in the doorway with a wide grin on her face "Mi-chan~!" Emily said happily as she held out her arms, expecting a hug.

Miranda blushed slightly out of being a bit shy, while Emily was her best friend, she knew she was going to a bit shy for a moment when they woud first meet up, simply because it was all so new to see her in person.

"I would give you a hug... but uhm..." a bag suddenly fell onto the ground roughly, causing Miranda's demeanor to change with a slightly annoyed scowl "Crap..."

Emily laughed and crouched down, grabbing the bag from the ground before grabbing some bags from Miranda's grasp "Come on in~" she said moving out of Miranda's way letting her inside before shutting the door behind her, and leading her through the hallway.

When they both got to the living room, Miranda let go of her bags, leaving them to fall on the floor a bit roughly. She smiled in satisfaction "There~" Miranda said before she hugged Emily with wide smile.

Emily hugged her in return with a grin "It's awesome to finally meet you in real life."

"It's awesome to hug you in real life." Miranda replied, blushing slightly before pulling out ofthe hug "So, where's everyone else?"

Emily chuckled "Work. And my Bro finally moved out. I'm home alone for the longest of times during the summer." she grinned "Come on, lets get your stuff to my flat downstairs." Emily said picking up some of Miranda's luggage and leading her out of the living room.

"Your flat? Is that what Canadian's call it these days?" Miranda chuckled before picking up some of her bags and following after Emily.

Emily grinned "The basement is pretty much mine. My Bro moved out, so my parents expanded their Master Suite. So, I laid claim to the basement." she said before she walked down the stairs, kicking the door open to the basement room and setting her bags down, Miranda doing the same and putting her bags down.

"I hope you've got LOTS of candy or Ice Cream~ 'Cuz we're gonna need it with the movie marathon we'll have~" Miranda said with a smirk. "And I must say, this space is pretty impressive."

Emily smirked and shut the door to the basement behind her "Having a job does WONDERS for tricking out your space~."

The basement was fairly large. It had a large living area with a large entertainment center, couch, and recliner. Between the living area part of the basement and Emily's bedroom part of it, was a work area with a large desk that held her desktop, and her laptop in standyby on its charger off to the side. Between the recliner and the couches was a miniture fridge/freezer combo.

Emily walked over and opened the fridge to reveal a huges stash of candy, pop, and loads of icecream in the freezer part of the fridge.

"Lots of derp I foresee in our future~." Miranda said grinning widely.

"It's why I'm glad this is MY space. Well, except for the laundry room." Emily said gesturing to the door near where her bedroom space was.

"Ew... Kinda glad that ISN'T yours..." Miranda said seeing some of her parents' dirty laundry through the slightly open laundry room door.

Emily cackled slightly and shut the door to the laundry room "The door shuts for a reason Mi..." she said before she sprawled out on the couch "So, what do you wanna do first? Show you around the city? Go for a swim in the pool? I have to go to work in a couple of days, so we've got a lot of stuff to be done before then!"

Miranda shrugged "It's whatever you wanna do first. It's your territory. And honestly, I can't really decide anyways." she said smiling a bit sheepishly with a slight chuckle "Although, I will say I don't really feel up to swimming."

"I say we go for a drive." Emily replied as she stood up "I'll show you around the city and we can just have some fun~." she said as walked over to her bedroom and picked up her keys, as well as a couple of other things.

Miranda smiled "Sounds good to me~."

Emily grinned and ushered her up from the basement, and then out the door, locking the house behind her. She headed over to her white '89 Mustang parked on the driveway, both of them getting in the car before they went on their way.

Before long, they were in Saskatoon, driving around aimlessly, hanging out at the mall, and just all around having a good time spending time together.

Miranda and Emily were at a café area of the mall sitting at a table, Emily drinking her a latte, and Mi sipping her smoothie.

Miranda boredly looked over her shoulder, but soon perked up slightly when she spotted a certain gentlemen sitting down at a booth. He had jet black hair, red eyes, and a fairly decent build, slightly muscular, but not too overpowerfully so.

Mi leaned back slightly over toward Emily and whispered "Hey, check out that hunk over at the table behind us~" she said, trying to act casual as she sipped her smoothie again.

Emily sipped her latte, glancing at at the gentlemen, and then smirking at Mi "Not bad~." she murmured back.

"Not BAD? He is totally-" she mouthed the word 'Hot'.

"Eh, not really my type." Emily chuckled slightly with a shrug.

"Hey... He's pretty cute too~." Miranda says gesturing to a guy with jet black hair, his hair slightly spikey, but straightened when on the sides and going down to his shoulders, but just barely touching them. He had sky blue eyes.

He stared in a certain direction before shifting his glance at Emily and Miranda, turning his back to them slightly when he noticed the two were watching him.

Miranda quickly looked away "He noticed me watching..." she said softly to Emily with a blush "Probably thinks I'm a stalker..." she mumbled, a bit embarrassed.

Emily laughed "How does he know you were looking at him directly?" she questioned, amused by Mi's reaction "Though, you're right, he is cute~."

Miranda finished her smoothie "Well, I'm finished. Soo... What now?"

Emily downed the rest of her latte as she looked at her watch, hissing slightly when she realized how hot it was when she was finished "Ack, hot..!" she let out a slow sigh before she sat up and shrugged "I dunno... Back to my place for a TF marathon til' the wee hours of the morning?"

Miranda smiled "Sure~ I could go for that~. And some candy~."

"And Ice-Cream, and Pop, and Chips, and Chocolate, and Cake, and Brownies, and Cookies... I could go on." Emily laughed before standing up and picking up her bags of things she had bought.

Miranda stretched and followed Emily out to her car "You're gonna make me have a sweets hangover..."

Emily got out her keys and unlocked her car "Hey! I got my stash loaded up in time for when you got here. We're too young for REAL hangovers, so sugar is the best replacement~!" she cackled slightly before she got in the car with Mi and headed back toward the house.

Miranda leaned back in her seat "Did I mention that I love you more than anyone else on this planet?" she chuckled.

Emily snickered, focused on the road as she drove "Once or twice~."

Mi soon looked out the window as the two listened to some Linkin Park music, looking to the rear-view, and spotting something familar, smiling widely "No way... Sweet! It's a Barricade car!"

Emily glanced out one of her mirrors and spotted it, smiling widely "A Saleen S281 Police Car! OMP! This just made today EVEN BETTER!" she said excitedly.

"I still don't understand your Caranese... But I'll translate that as a good thing." Miranda chuckled.

Emily pulled to a stop at a red traffic light, grinning "Extrememly so. Saleen's are rare as HELL. Especially here in Canada~. Let alone in a prairie province like Sasketchewan."

Mi squinted slightly, seeing a slight outline, but only for a moment, of the same guy she saw sitting at the table behind them from the mall. This caused her to sweatdrop slightly "It's only your imagination... Just calm down." she thought before looking straight ahead of her and shrugging off what she saw.

Emily pulled away from the line when the traffic light turned green, quickly getting up to the speed limit as the two headed out of the city and out onto the highway toward Warman.

When the girls got home and back to the basement area, Miranda leaned back on the couch while Emily sprawled out on the recliner, music played in the background softly.

"This is going to sound crazy... But I could of SWORN one of the hot guys we saw from the mall was driving that Barricade car..." Miranda said with some Strawberry Pocky sticks hanging out of her mouth.

"That's weird... I wouldn't be TOO shocked if it was... But, the fact that we saw him at the mall, and it could be the same guy, driving behind us... That's just... kinda creepy..." Emily replied, seemingly looking like she was trying to supress a shudder.

"I know right? ...Maybe I'm just paranoid, or, I dunno..." she sighed slighty before looking to Emily "So, we gonna watch that movie?"

"Of course~!" Emily smiled before she got up out of her recliner and getting her blu-ray player hooked up, getting the surround sound working properly before she popped the Transformers movie disc in, ignoring the sounds of her parents in the living room upstairs.

Miranda took the remote and paused the movie just as it began to play and looked to Emily curiously "Your parents home or something?"

She stood up "Yeah, must've just gotten home." she looked to Mi " Want me to introduce you?"

Miranda got up from the couch "Please."

Emily nodded, walking over to the door and walking up the stairs with Miranda "Hey Mom, hey Dad." she greeted when they entered the living room.

Emily's Dad smiled at her, sitting on the couch "Hey Sweetpea. I take it this is the Miranda you've told us about?"

Emily nodded "Yeah, this is Miranda. She arrived from her plane earlier today."

Emily's Mom walked out of their Master Suite "Hey." she greeted Emily before she looked to Miranda with a slight smile "Hello, I'm Emily's Mom, Darcia, and that's her Dad, Handy Manny."

Emily facepalmed at her Mom's nickname for her Dad, Manny standing up and walking over to Miranda to properly greet her.

Miranda held out her hands to shake with them "It's very nice to meet you both. Emily is a wonderful friend. It must come from having such wonderful parents." she said with a friendly smile.

Darcia chuckled slightly "Polite, I must say. Thank you, welcome to our home. And welcome to Canada as well." she said shaking Mi's hand politely.

"Em was the second try. I'd expect her to turn out better than her drama queen, tempermental brother." he smirked shaking Mi's hand as well.

"DAAAAD!" Emily whined, blushing slightly.

"Thanks, it's good to be here." she said, shaking both of their hands before releasing them with a slight laugh "Well, she sure is a fine piece of work I must say." Mi said half-jokingly in return to Manny's remark.

Darcia smiled "Well, don't let us being home interrupt your fun." she turned to Emily "I'm glad you came up to introduce us, Emily."

"Yeah, yeah." she said before turning to Miranda "Let's get back to our movie, shall we Mi?" Emily said before glaring at her dad with a look of 'I'll get you back for that later'.

"Sure~." Miranda replied before walking back downstairs with Emily.

When she sat down on the couch, she turned to Emily "Okay... Your Dad is a card." she chuckled with a grin.

Emily sat down on the recliner once again "A card and a smartass. Trust me. You haven't seen him over at the yard with the cards over there." she shuddered slightly, chuckling slightly as she pressed play on the remote, getting back to the movie.

Miranda laughed and leaned back more into the couch, enjoying Emily's company as well as the movie.

***Later that Night***

Miranda was fast asleep on the couch while Emily was in her bedroom area, out cold.

The Saleen S281 Police Car gently rolled up in front of the house, the mech inwardly smirking when he spotted the car he had been following earlier, ever so quietly parking near the car and turning his headlights off so he didn't attract attention. He used his internal scanners and scanned the house, quickly discovering that everyone inside the house was asleep.

"Good..." he murmured to himself before he activated his holoform, and headed up to the house.

His holoform crouched at the window at the side of the house that led into the basement, where his target resided. He shattered the window as quietly as possible before he slipped inside silently, a cloth with chloroform prepared in his hand.

He noticed the other female was asleep in the bedroom area that was seperated by a few decorative dividers that diveded the room up more between the bedroom and the living room.

He dodged candy wrappers and pop bottles as he approached his target, soon standing beside her and covering her mouth with the anaesthetic to make sure she stayed asleep.

Miranda woke up with a slight jolt, but only for a moment, seeing a shadowed figure. Her eyes widened before they drooped tiredly, slowly going back into the darkness of sleep.

When he was sure there was enough chloroform in her system, he grabbed her and put her over his shoulder, climbing back out through the window, placing the girl into his alt-mode, and then discreetly racing off.

:: Barricade to Lord Megatron. I have the female. :: Barricade said through his comlink.

:: Well done Barricade. Bring her to me immediately. :: Megatron ordered on his end of the comlinnk.

Barricade sped out of the small town, and off to where Megatron was, Miranda lying unconscious in the back seat.

Emily had heard the shattering of the window minamally in her sleep, just rolling over and falling asleep again. But when she rolled over again in her sleep, she effectively fell out of bed and hit the ground face first.

She woke up fully and swore "Damn that hurt..." she said pushing herself off the floor and sitting up.

Emily shivered, feeling a breeze for some reason. She got up and walked out of her bedroom to see a broken window, and Miranda gone.

"Oh no..." she said in a dread-filled tone before racing upstairs to wake up her parents, and call the cops.
