Linariel: Greetings all keep your mind open with this story. You might see some similarities mostly with the G1 universe since that is my favorite one. This story is of my own design. It's set in an alternate universe but does collaborate things of the past in some ways. I really hope it's well received it's taken quite a while to pull all my ideas together. But this just stuck out to me so much and I wanted to write it and see what people think.

This is a test run so the more reviews the better chances I'll update… If you have any suggestions also after reading it of autobots or things you'd like to see happen then please let me know I have this planned out fairly well already but I'm always open to improving or adding.

Disclaimer: I do not own any Transformers the credit for these remarkable characters goes to Hasbro. I do however own Sierra and any other characters that don't appear in any of the TF or any other show, movie, or book.

Sparked Partnership

Chapter 1: Fading

"And this automotive dates back to the 1950's it was used to haul personnel such as the wounded from battle."

The sixteen year old Sierra eyed the medical vehicle with mild interest though a part of her was still on protest mode. She couldn't believe that instead of the starting year sophomore with a party as her new school was said to have every year it had been cancelled and their history teacher Mr. Phase instead dragged them to a boring old car museum to go on and on lecturing them about the importance that each particular model had in the years. This was their fall outing… what a disappointment.

The teacher's voice soon droned out and she just stared at each car not even listening to his speech.

"Sispt Sierra!" came a voice from behind.

Sierra didn't hear the disturbance her mind was off in another world. Dressed in jeans and a green shirt with the words (Peace is the beginning…) covered by a faded blue jean jacket she leaned against the nearby wall of the museum humming softly. 'Now the thing I can't understand is why it's so difficult to even drive a car I mean I try and I try but still nothing... I wonder what I'm doing wrong.'

"Si-er-ra!" the voice spoke a little louder. Finally growl of frustration could be heard.

Her short dirty blond hair curved around her fair skin face with freckles lightly peppered on her cheeks. Sierra's green eyes were unfocused 'Now let's see do I go on the left or right side when I drive.' Putting her hands in front of her checked them to find her digits. 'Definitely left... at least I think.'

A firm tug was laced on her baggy jacket broke her from the spell her thoughts were weaving. Still a little dazed she noticed the person finally. An African American young man around her age with tussled black hair was looking at her with obvious annoyance. It was Kevin one of the other loners in the school. Despite the little wallflower detail he was a bit of a bad boy loved bending rules. 'Please not again.' She prayed silently. Sierra usually got caught up in one of his messes whether she liked it or not. It had been that way since she came to Tranquility, California.

"What?" she hissed.

"Let's sneak off and check out the other cars."

Yup sure enough another one of his schemes. "Don't the words 'stay with the teacher' mean anything to you?"

"Nah come on there has got to be some cool cars I can take pictures of for the newspaper." Kevin was also a photographer for the school paper not a bad one at that. Then again he didn't always take pictures professionally that was just his cover up since it was considered un cool for a guy of his age to be a photographer for fun. It was just too dorky. Though she didn't see what the issue was it wasn't like he was macho or jock material.

Sierra gave him a pointed look she could see sanity slowly falling away from her acquaintance's mind. "I don't think that's a good idea Kev'." She motioned to the back of their teacher who had apparently not noticed their lack of attention. "Do you know how pissed off Phase would be if he found us missing."

He shrugged. "So what it's not like I haven't done it before."

"But I haven't I've been trying to keep a good record at school so at least my report card won't be covered in red marks." It already would for some of her subjects but that wasn't the point.

"Quit being such a goody too shoes and follow me down the path of ice-cream and pizza."

"Frankly I'd take spinach and cauliflower over being in trouble any day."

"Aw come on girl pleaaase come with me." he put on a pout.

Sierra's face softened for a moment then she scowled. "Oh no you are not pulling me into one of your crazy polluted schemes again."

"Tell you what how about I donate my vast supplies of art equipment to the cause." he said baiting her. "It's rarely been used." He held out a notebook.

"Fine. Let's go." she said with a sigh. She really did need more art supplies she was running low as it was.

Kevin smirked. "Knew you'd see it my way doll." that was another thing he seemed to have a bit of a crush on her. How he even noticed her from her invisible confines she had no idea but she didn't share the feeling.

"If we get caught I am personally kicking your ass to the moon." Sierra called to him as he skipped merrily down the pathway.

"Be sure to write down all the facts that they give on each model Si-si. I have to have words to go with my photography and you know I suck at writing."

"Which is why I've been pulled into this plot." Sierra grumbled as she jotted down all the facts listed on the plating that stood in front of a sleek black 1973 Rolls Royce.

"Exactly." Kevin said barely catching on to her sarcastic-near-to-killing him mood. He adjusted his lens then snapped a picture of the classy car. "You have to admit it, this was worth seeing."

"We crossed the yellow tape that read 'Do not enter.' This is going to get us busted badly you know."

"Where's your sense of adventure Sierra."

"It died about a mile into this area."

Despite this she did have to admit the cars behind the yellow tape were worth checking out. They were far grander then the ones that were open to the public. None of these cars barely even were dented. Their coats of paint shined pristine from their spots. All of them seemed to be roughly from the same time period the 1970's this must have been the aisle that was said to open in two months. It did seem like construction work was still being done and not all of the cars had plates in front of them. Unlike the other ones they weren't blocked off either 'probably because no one is supposed to see this yet.' she thought to herself. The platforms were still under assembly so they just stood there with nothing in front of them. No chance of getting photos of the interior the car doors were locked though Kevin already checked.

She still felt uneasy about the whole thing but since Kevin was paying her art supplies so she couldn't refuse she could barely afford to buy it on her own, her aunt was not so supportive in her hobby. 'Maybe he'll give me some of the extra snapshots I wouldn't mind doing a painting of one of these cars.'

The one that really caught her eye was the smallest of the group but definitely not the least. This little guy was a yellow Volkswagen Beetle roughly from the 60's or early 70's despite it's age he was in prime condition with not a single scratch on the paint job from what she could see. It amusedly had black racing strips making it stand out all the more.

She liked him the best because she could relate to him. All the other cars were somewhat bigger or longer he was tiny compared to them. Like him she was considered the smallest in the class even as a kid people would call her midget she learned to ignore it but it still sent her blood to boiling inside. So the beetle's size spoke out to her.

"You like that one?"

Sierra jumped slightly to find Kevin behind her grinning ear to ear. "Quit sneaking up on me!" she hissed.

A look of exaggerated shock came on his face. "I wasn't sneaking Si-si. Besides everyone at school knows you're a complete spaz when it comes to things. You fade out into your thoughts so often that I worry you didn't damage yourself last time we were stuck playing flag football."

"That didn't hurt and you know it!" She said defending her lack of coordination. She still had a bump on her head from when one of the bigger teenagers crashed into her.

Kevin shook his head smiling stupidly then put his arm around her shoulder. "So you like that one huh Si-si?"

"Yes as a matter a fact I do." Sierra said pushing his arm off her shoulder. Her face fell into a nostalgic look. "It kind of reminds me of myself."

"Size wise huh?" she nodded. "Well there isn't anything wrong with your size Si-si or the fact that you look more like a thirteen year old then a sixteen year old." he ducked from her icy glare. "But there is nothin wrong with that."

Sierra sighed rolling her eyes. 'Why do I even bother he always says the wrong thing even when he means it to be nice.'

Kevin seemed to stare at the yellow bug for a few moment before he snapped his fingers loudly. Making her jump again looking like a deer between the head lights. She couldn't help being skittish especially since right now they were in an area off limits.

"I know something that will cheer you up how about I get a picture of you and the beetle." Kevin said he received a suspicious look from Sierra. "Free of charge it's the least I could do."

She shrugged 'Couldn't hurt besides how many chances will I get to see this car again. I doubt I'll be driving before I'm eighteen, nineteen tops.' wordlessly she pressed the pencil and pad into his outstretched hands then walked over to the bug and stood in front of it.

Before she posed though Sierra glanced behind to see any details she missed strangely enough instead of the usual VW emblem on the front there stood in its place a strange looking red symbol but she didn't have another chance to glance at it before a frustrated groan emitted from her friend.

Taking the camera away from his eye he shook his head. "No, no, no, this is all wrong the picture looks like a prison photo." Kevin announced he bit his lip in thought then an idea seemed to click because he raised the pencil he was carrying in triumph. "Ah ha I got it. You..." he pointed the pencil at her. "Sit on the hood in some kind of sexy pose." She glared at him. "Or a flexible double jointed one if you like the word better."

"I don't know about this I don't think it will work. What if they find fingerprints Kevin did you ever think of that?" she asked him.

"Oh come on live a little, Si-si just break the rules this one time."

Sierra had it up to here with his goody too shoes speeches. "You know what... fine... fine I'll do it but if a word of this get's out you will so pay."

"That's my girl getting dangerous for once." Kevin said clapping his hands in triumph before reaching for the digital camera around his neck to focus it on Sierra.

In a huff Sierra leaned against the hood and raised her left leg to place it ever so carefully on the front, she leaned her elbow onto her raised knee and rested her chin on it looking up to him with a neutral look. "Is this better?"

"Perfect princess but I need you to smile. Come on show off those big white choppers."

"Shut up, stop sounding like my aunt on purpose Kev." She said through a gritted smile.

"Oh come on Si-si you can do better then that I've seen real smiles from you. Just think about something you love or something you're going to do that you love."

Sierra sighed but complied to his demand. She thought hard her brow creasing in concentration then a gentle ever so adorable smile she rarely showed came up. Kevin begun to snap pictures happy to see her smiling for once. He didn't know that it was about her dumping pink paint all over him and dropping him off down on main street to be the gawking display of everyone. She was a kind, caring girl. But every now and then a little evilness would come out.

"Beautiful Si-si just gorgeous you look like a million bucks with that smile." he cheered her on as she beamed. Though he could already see she was in her own little day dreaming world again. The pictures looked great so far from what he could see on his tiny camera's screen she looked so cute. As he snapped pictures he noticed a bright white light in each picture but he thought it was a glare.

'Okay enough evil thoughts...' Sierra decided. She begun thinking about the art supplies Kevin promised to her. She'd already see an amazing picture taking form. She couldn't wait to see what contents the kit contained she hoped their was a large amount of pastels it was her favorite media...

"I think a few more and we will be done Si-si I just need to make sure I get the best shot." Kevin called to her. She didn't respond her smile hand turned from a happy to an angelic one that was even rarer. He couldn't resist snapping a shot of it.

This time when the picture emerged he finally noticed something. The glare was larger on this one almost the size of a basketball. 'That's odd.' Was his camera busted did he need it to get repaired again. He flipped through the other pictures and found that in each the light remained except for the very first of them and it grew larger with each shot. His eyes widened as he begun getting a little worried. A hard thud sounded across the room echoing in the place.

Turning his attention around he looked about his eyes darting around the area trying to see if there was a security guard or someone. He didn't see anyone but he didn't want to take chances. "Sierra we better go." he didn't get a response. "Come on Si-si get your head out of the clouds in down to Earth… I thought you didn't want to get in trouble." Still no response he spun around ready to drag her away from the place if he had to. "Look if you don't get out of La La Land now Phase will have our hides. You don't want your Aun..." he stopped in midsentence his eyes widened at what was in front of him.

There in front of the Volkswagen Beetle was Sierra however she wasn't in the spot he last saw her no she was laid face first on the hardwood floor only a few feet away from the car. She wasn't moving. Forgetting about the security guards he rushed over to her side sitting down he turned her over gently he pulled her head into his lap. She appeared to have passed out but seemed to be breathing alright her chest was moving up and down in slow motion. A fairly big cut graced her forehead but other then that she was okay from what he could tell.

Slapping her face like he'd seen done so many times in movies he tried to get her to wake up. "Come on Si-si wake up. This is no time to be lying down… what did you see another rat?" since he'd known her she'd always seems terrified of the little devils something about sneaking up to watch some movie her uncle brought home but finding it to be a horror one. That was besides the point if he took her back to Mr. Phase like this he'd more then likely get in trouble or people would get the wrong idea. Slapping her cheek again he shook her.

Getting no response besides her head going limp again in his lap he made a decision placing her head on the ground he got up and raced out of the room shouting at the top of his lungs. "HELP MY FRIEND IS INJURED!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!"

Soon he heard the clomping of the security guards boots he was going to get in trouble that was for sure but it didn't matter as long as he got her help he could live with it. He was used to punishment.

A/N: Sounds like something's happening isn't there. I bet you all can guess a little but there must be a whole lot of questions unanswered don't worry they will be in time. This was a collaboration of a few of my favorite TF universes to create my alternate one. I'll try of course to keep the mechs in character as much as possible though some might be a bit altered that happens at times I've noticed. We'll just have to see.

Question: Do you think Sierra is Mary Sue? I would think that wouldn't apply since she is in her own universe and the central human of my transformers story. Also I'd like to point of this is her time so if there's a bit of description well your never going to see her in real life so I needed more to go with her some people actually like it when you describe the character.

Trivia Fact: Ever notice how a lot the lead human characters names start with an 'S' for instance Spike, Sam, Sari. So I decided to continue that homage with Sierra. I just find it interesting.

I apologize about grammar mistakes I don't have a beta reader if anyone wouldn't like to help me in that area I am open to offers.
