Chapter 3

Disclaimer: *Sigh* I don't own Transformers and I never will, *Looks down sadly* because if I did, Ironhide, Ratchet and Jazz would still be alive and kicking... but hey! I do own my OCs Emily and Bronzer! :D

Authors Note at the end.

I groaned and turned over as I was awoken to someone shaking my shoulder. I huffed, grabbing my covers and covered my head and I heard a muffled chuckle.

"Emilyyyyyyy, waky wakyyyyyyy~." Someone sang. I growled as they started to poke me from the covers and I heard another chuckle. Couldn't they just leave me alone? I was tired! I wanted to go back to the peaceful dreamless slumber I was in. I've had a tiring couple of days and some sleep isn't too must to ask! Apparently they thought otherwise.

"Come on, wake up Em. Don't make meh come in there." They purred. I just groaned in response and curled up tighter. Unfortunately, me being really tired made my brain slow. Before I had any chance of processing what they said and that they were being serious, I felt the cover being lifted and someone getting in. I felt a hard chest against my back which made the hairs on my neck stand. I groaned and sluggishly turned around and quirked open one eye. I smiled when I saw Jazz.

"Mornin'." He said cheerfully. I narrowed my eyes at him and stared into his illuminating blue eyes. He was grinning at me, the asshole. "Uggghhhh, what time is it?" I mumbled as I closed my eyes. I felt him wrap his arms around me and pull me closer. I relaxed and nuzzled his neck and breathed in. He smelt so good. Linux deodorant mix with motor oil. I was drifting back to a peaceful sleep again; I just was socomfortable and warm! I felt his breath on my neck and he breathed, in and let his breath out slowly. I shivered and I could tell he was smirking.

"9:45 in tha mornin'."

"What?! Why'd you wake me so earlyyyyyyy…" I whined as I buried my face in his neck. Ok, it wasn't exactly early, but I'm still tired! He started chuckling as he got out of my bed taking my warm and oh so comfy cover with him and dropped it on the floor. When I made so signs of moving he smirked and went to grab my bare foot but surprisingly, I was quicker and jumped off my bed but Jazz being faster, grabbed me from behind and lifted me swinging me around so he was holding me bridal style.

"Jazz! Jazz put me down!" I squeaked, but it soon turned to laughter when he started spinning me around. I put my hands around his neck to support myself and let my head bend backwards laughing loudly. I did a little scream when he swung me around so I was on his back in a piggy back.

"Really? I can walk you know." I said smiling raising an eyebrow. Jazz raised one back at me and just started walking out my room and then down the stairs into the kitchen where Bronzer was sat by the dining table. Jazz put me down and I walked over to Bronzer, knelt down and gave him a hug and he licked my face in return, ignoring the warning growl Jazz was giving him. I turned around to ask why he was growling when a thought accrued to me. I stood up quick and looked around. Where are my foster parents? They wouldn't go to work today as they knew I came home last night, so where were they?

"Where are my foster parents?" I asked both of them. Jazz just shrugged but it was Bronzer who answered me. "They left at 8:00am this morning saying something about how you have 2 weeks off school that they are going to arrange something called a 'Holiday'." Bronzer said waging his tail. "Is a holiday what I think it is?" He said jumping up putting his paws on my hips waging his tail with his tongue hanging out of his mouth, eyes glowing with happiness. I smiled at him a nodded. I looked over at Jazz who just rolled his eyes as Bronzer jumped down and trotted into the living room.

"Am I allowed to go on holiday?" I asked him with hope. He looked at me and smiled softly before answering. "Of course ya can but ya do know tha I have ta come to? An' as long as it's not too far from tha base, then it should be fine." He said grinning. I ran and hugged him tightly. I was so happy! I have been on holiday in a very long time! I smiled when I felt him wrap his arms around me and he nuzzled my neck. I pulled back little bit but not letting go, so I could look at him. Our eyes locked and it was like time slowed and we both smiled. We started moving closer, closing our eyes, lips getting closer and closer… but the sound of the front door opening made us jumped away from each other and stand around awkwardly. A blush crept on my face as I looked down at myself and realized that I was still in my pyjamas. Oh, how embarrassing. I thought to myself. I turned around to see who just came through the door only to be pulled into a tight hug.

"Oh, Emily! We were so worried when we heard what happened!" Lucy cried. I wrapped my arms around her reassuring her that I was here and that I was safe. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up to see Simon smiling down at me. He pulled me away from his wife to hug me.

"I'm sorry." I murmured into his chest. Even though we've only known each other a few months, I love them both. They have been nothing but kind and understanding and all I've done is make them worry. They helped me cope with the loss of my parents. Whenever I had a nightmare and would wake up screaming, they would be there. What a great foster child, I am making them worry so much.

"Don't worry about that anymore, ok? Let's move past it, it's in the past. And besides we got a surprise for you." He said pulling me away and smiling.

"What kind of surprise?" I asked warily. I knew what the surprise was, the holiday, but I couldn't tell them that my dog told me, because that would go just great… NOT. He just grinned in the response. I looked at Jazz who was leaning on the dining table with his arms crossed. I smiled at him and he smiled in response. I looked at Lucy and Simon with a raised eyebrow. It was only then that I realised that there was a lot of bags sat by the door, obviously just been dropped there when they saw me. Lucy followed my gazed and smiled brightly, walking over and picking them up and placing them on the table as I took a seat.

"Well, since you have two weeks off before you have to go to that meeting thing about, you know-"She said looking at me, making sure I was alright. I smiled sadly and nodded for her to go on. "anyway- and then back to school, we thought that we would take a small vacation, our first vacation as a family. " She finished with a smile.

"Where are we going to go though? We can't go too far away from Jazz' base and there isn't much holiday stuff here?" Simon and Lucy looked at each other with a you-tell-her look. I looked at them warily before speaking lowly. "Where are we going?" Lucy glared at Simon before looking at me and smiling broadly.

"We're going camping." She said simply. I stared, just stared at them. I hate camping with a passion. Who likes to sleep outdoors where it's cold and water and –and bugs will crawl all over you. I shuddered at the thought. I've never been camping but I've seen and heard enough of it to not want to it. I was still staring at them, not blinking once and I think the last straw was when my eye twitched and then Jazz burst out laughing. I blinked and all eyes were on Jazz who was trying to support himself on the table so he wouldn't fall over. Clutching his sides he looked and me and my foster parents and stood straight and cleared his throat before grinning and looking me.

"I'm sorry but the look on your face was priceless!" He said laughing and soon Simon and Lucy were laughing to. Simon reduced his laughing to chuckling before addressing Jazz.

"You must be Jazz? Emily's guardian? Nice to see you again." he said holding his hand out to Jazz who took it and gave it a strong shake. Did he say again? Oh… yeah. They met him when I ran away from school… I looked up at Simon who was giving me a scolding look and I just smiled sheepishly.

"Tha would be meh, nice to meet ya." Jazz said shaking both of their hands. When he let go he placed them behind his back. I looked at Simon when he waved for Jazz to follow him into the living room. When they were out of sight, I saw Bronzer come trotting over and sit by Lucy's legs, waging his tail. She looked down and smiled as she patted his head. When she stopped giving Bronzer a good pat, I stood up and started to make a drink. I turned around and took and sip of my water as Lucy looked at me grinned like a Cheshire cat. I took a step back narrowing my eyes at her.

"…I know that look, what are you thinking…?" I asked and she looked to where Jazz and Simon was talking in the living room. I looked at her and she started wiggling her eyebrows at me. I may have only been livening here for only three months but I knew her pretty well.

"So…." She started grinning evilly. I swear she's like a little kid in high school that knows the biggest secret ever. I looked her raising an eyebrow.

"'So' what?" I asked as I turned around and started to make a ham sandwich. I opened the fridge and got out the ham and butter. I was getting a plate out when she started speaking again, her voice full of excitement.

"So, this Jazz guy's your guardian then? He was pretty concerned when we first met him when he came to the house telling us what happened at school- which by the way, that Trent guy has been kicked out of school, just so you know- and was really worried." I stopped buttering my bread when I heard this. But he didn't even know me then…. why was he so concerned…..? I finished buttering my bread and put some ham on and cut in half. I turned around and took and bite and I looked at Bronzer who as staring at me. Should I feed him? But didn't Ratchet say he wasn't normal? Well he didn't say that exactly just that he's one of them now, his… insides are made of metal, so should I give him motor oil or something….? I'll just have to ask Jazz later…. Jazz… I looked at where he was speaking to Simon and smiled at him and he smiled back. I tore my gaze away and looked back at Lucy who was looking at me and then to Jazz smiling broadly. I took a rather big bite of my sandwich and had to push it in with fingers to get it in Man, I'm a pig… I was trying to swallow it when Lucy spoke -

"So… are you together then?" –only for it to get stuck in my throat and for me to start choking. I started coughing hard but it wouldn't budge and I was starting to suffocate! I heard Bronzer barking franticly and Lucy calling for help but my ears were buzzing. I felt arm wrapped its self around me and I looked up and stared into Jazz' worried eyes as I clutch my throat willing it to work. I saw his month moving but I couldn't hear him. I was sure I was going blue right now and was going to die. That's what you get for being a greedy pig! I chided myself and I was getting weaker and I felt Jazz wrap his arms around me from my back and he start to squeeze me. It didn't work the first few times and my eyes started rolling to the back of my head but on the four try, the food went flying from my mouth and onto the floor with a splat. My legs gave out but Jazz hand a good hold of me and he lowered us onto the floor and Jazz sat behind me and cradling me to his chest. I was gasping for air as Jazz rubbed my back and Bronzer had his head in my lap.

"Are you alright?"

The buzzing in my ears finally cleared and I could only nod in response, not rusting my voice. I wiped the side of my mouth that had spit trailing down. Oh, ew, nasty. I made a face as my spit had a trail from my hand to my mouth and I just wiped it in my trousers. At this point, all eyes were on me and my face lit up like a Christmas tree, I bowed my head in embarrassment. Before anyone could say anything I stood up with the help off Jazz, I smiled as a thank you which he just nodded in response.

"Umm, well, I'm uh gonna go pack! See you later!"

And with that I rushed up the stairs and slammed my door closed and sank to the floor leaning on the door. I whacked my head a few times on the door for my stupidity.

"Really Emily? You choked for crying out loud! And yet again Jazz had to save your ass! You big buffoon! Ugh!" With one last bang on the door I stood up and made my way to the wardrobe and got out a suitcase and started packing. After about two hours of packing basically my whole wardrobe – I take a long time- I heard a knock at my door.

"Come in." I answered absentmindedly.

I heard the door open and close while I zipped up my suitcase and felt a hand on my shoulder so I turned around and stared right into captivating blue eyes. I smiled at jazz that still held a concerned look.

"Are you sure you're alright?" My smile turned sincere as I nodded in response. I tore my gaze away from jazz to my suit case that took up nearly my whole bed. I went to picked it up when Jazz said to let him. As he was lifting it he mockingly pretended that it was really heavy. Which I knew it was but I knew he had a lot of strength in that holoform.

"Primus femme! Where ya movin too?!" I only shot him a look which he returned with a playful grin. I shook my head and got the door for him. As I I followed him down the stairs I could help but admire his body. Strong shoulders with equally strong arms. I watch as he put my suitcase by the door with the others, his muscles in his arms bulging with strength, I didn't realize when he looked at me with a smirk until he spoke.

"Enjoying tha view are we?" he stated smugly. I only 'uh huh'ed in response and he snorted with a cheeky grin. He laughed and walked over to me pulling me into a one armed hug and walked in the kitchen but was sure to remove his arm when we walked in.

The rest of the night was my foster parents getting to know Jazz and asking him questions which he only answered if they were safe questions. By the time it was time to bed I could wait until tomorrow. I was going on holiday and a giant alien robot was going with us, even if my foster parents didn't know, I did. I felt like I was the luckiest girl alive. but again, I lost my paret to one of his kind. I didn't blame the Autobots, even Ratchet said I should blame them but I just couldn't. They weren't the one who kissed them, it was the deceticons. With that as thought I fell asleep to the land of nightmares and blood.
