Chapter 11:Bad Romance
The minute I walked into my bedroom I literally collapsed onto my bed, even though my clothes were still damp from my early morning swim. I'd probably have to get up soon anyway to keep the other Autobots from knowing where me, Bulkhead and Prowl were and what we were doing. I don't think they'd appreciate it all that much.
"Hnnnggh." My exasperated groan was muffled by the pillow I was lying face down on and I hit it in defiance. I turned m head to the side and furrowed my eyebrows, trying to focus on my phone on the bedside table.
"Just a few more minutes….." I sighed to myself, allowing my eyelids to droop. I soon found my mind slipping into subconscious….
'ARE YOU READY KIDS?!
"AYE AYE CAPTAIN",
I CAN'T HEAR YOU!
"AYE AYE CAPTAIN"
OHH...'
I jolted in surprise, falling off of my bed. Grabbing my phone I chucked it against the wall in my shock and the battery fell out, silencing the alarm. I sighed heavily and ran a hand through my hair.
"I really need to change my alarm tone….."
As I started crawling towards my broken phone, I heard a knock on the door.
"Hey Aurora, get your lazy aft out of bed now!" Ratchet yelled crankily through the door. My eyes widened as my heart started to pound against my ribcage. Even though he had done the same thing every other day it still managed to make me jump. So far today wasn't going all that well for me.
"Uh…..yeah, I'm up. Just gonna get changed!" I hollered back, already scrambling to my wardrobe and grabbing the clothes closest to me.
I heard Ratchet grunt in acknowledgement and his metal footsteps walking away just as I ran into my bathroom. Once I had stripped and put on my blue jeans and silver spaghetti strap top I glanced at my face in the mirror and sighed.
There were heavy bags under my eyes from the lack of sleep and was accompanied by my paled face. I got some water and splashed it onto my face, enjoying the cool sensation on my skin. My hair was sticking out in every single direction imaginable, but I couldn't be bothered to brush it through properly so I ran my fingers through my locks a couple of times to make it look somewhat nearer. Casting one last look into my mirror, I flung myself out of my bathroom and out of my door, picking up the pieces of my phone on the way.
By the time I was walking into the main room, everyone was already there, doing their own thing. Even Sari, who was sitting on Bumblebees shoulder as he played a video game, unconsciously swinging her legs. From the corner of my eye I noticed Bulkhead, Prime and Ratchet having a conversation. Well, the latter two were talking to each other; Bulkhead was just occasionally inputting his opinions to which the elder two waved off dismissively. The big green lug didn't seem to notice this as he smiled goofily and continued to drink from an oil can.
As I continued walking over to Bumblebee and Sari I was also subconsciously scanning the room for Prowl, with no such luck. By now the youngest 'bot and human were screeching at the TV and didn't seem to notice me approaching.
Mumbling to myself, I was about to silently scamper out when I heard someone drop down behind me. A dusty blush appeared on my face as I felt his metallic breath on my neck; he then leaned closer and whispered.
"Want to practice training?"
I felt the presence vanish from behind me and spun around only to notice that he was already heading towards the training room. Rolling my eyes in amusement, I started walking towards his location. I couldn't help but think about how close he was to my neck…
I shivered. If that was his way of getting revenge then it was a very clever idea. I was already beginning to notice my once shredded feelings for the black and gold autobot returning, and it was making me feel uncomfortable. I mean, he could never like me back.
The moment I walking into the training room I knew something was off. I seemed to be correct as I narrowly dodged the fist swung at me. Smirking at the one who threw the punch, I rolled my eyes.
"Do you really think you'd catch me out like that?" I scoffed playfully.
"That's what I was hoping to accomplish." Prowl replied tauntingly, silently gesturing for me to take the next move.
I turned and begun to walk away, thinking hard. From the corner of my eye I spotted the faint light and grinned as Prowl was suddenly lying in front of me. I kneeled down next to his face and patted the side of it.
"Gonna have to try harder." Before he could reply I moved towards the music player, my newly fixed phone in hand.
"I don't care what you say; I'm going to be playing some music." I stated. Plugging the technology in and scrolling through my song list.
"Ah, here it is."
Pressing the play button, I twisted back around and got into a battle stance, Prowl mirroring me.
One two three uh!
My baby don't mess around
Because she loves me so
And this I know for suuuuure...
Prowl raised an eyebrow at my choice of song and I shrugged, smiling.
"I have to try and distract you somehow." And, the background music was very fitting for a fighting practice if you ask me.
I rushed forward and attempted to deliver a ninja nerve blow but he dodged it and lightly hit the back of my head, making me momentarily lose my concentration. Just as I regained my focus he went to kick my legs and I used my telekinesis to stop his leg mid-air and throw it off course, causing him to spin around and tumble to the floor again. Laughing triumphantly, I crawled onto his back and sat on it.
"You're not even trying." I deadpanned. Prowl lifted his head up to lock gazes with me.
"Because if I did I'd probably end up hurting you." He said this with real concern in his voice. I was touched, but also even more determined to fight harder.
"But it's boring if you don't do anything. C'mon, treat me like you would a decepticon," I paused "except without your ninja stars."
One quick flip and suddenly I was on the floor and Prowl was standing up. I blinked in initial confusion, and then I smirked in amusement.
"Let's do this."
(Time skip…)
We had been practicing for some few hours now. Prowl had kept on suggesting that I take a break but I was stubborn enough to perfect my fighting skills with the occasional telepathic edge. The last song had just ended and as the new one started up I smiled brightly.
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Caught in a bad romance
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Caught in a bad romance
Prowl stopped where he was and gave me a blank stare.
"Seriously?"
"What? Lady Gaga's music is unique, just like me."
"Of course, except for one thing."
"Huh?"
I didn't notice Prowl walking towards me but was soon aware as he flipped me over. I groaned slightly and looked up at his smug smirk.
"She doesn't get distracted as easily." He replied. I pondered this for a moment.
"Well played."
Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
Roma-roma-mamaa!
Ga-ga-ooh-la-la!
Want your bad romance
"Well at least I work better in a group unlike some robots I know." I jokingly replied, pushing him into the conveyor belts. He lifted himself back up the same second and lunged towards me.
"At least I don't mope around when I don't get what I want."
"Touché."
I want your ugly
I want your disease
I want your everything
As long as it's free
I want your love
(Love-love-love I want your love)
I want your drama
The touch of your hand
I want your leather-studded kiss in the sand
I want your love
Love-love-love
I want your love
(Love-love-love I want your love)
We carried on like this, messing around until it ended up with us playing games, chasing each other around the room and laughing lightly.
Unfortunately I tripped over one of the deactivated mechanical arms and fell to the floor. Prowl used this as an opportunity to pin me to the nearest wall.
It took me a moment I realize how close our faces were and my breath hitched, my cheeks turning pink. Prowl had frozen, his visor wide with shock.
Almost as if I had been hypnotized, I leaned forwards slightly, taking quick note of the music in the background, now muffled in my ears by the rapid beating of my heart.
You know that I want you
And you know that I need you
I want it bad, your bad romance
Prowl was also leaning in and my brain turned to goo as our lips hovered inches away from each other. I hesitated slightly, but then started to lean in even more…
"I WANT YOUR LOVE AND
I WANT YOUR REVENGE
YOU AND ME COULD WRITE A BAD ROMANCE!
OH-OH-OH-OH-OH!
I WANT YOUR LOVE AND
ALL YOUR LOVERS' REVENGE
YOU AND ME COULD WRITE A BAD ROMANCE!"
The squeaky voice jolted both me and Prowl into reality as he swiftly moved backwards and left me to stand on my own. I ended up leaning onto the wall as I tried to comprehend what would have happened. What would have happened.
My brain then immediately started grinding its gears, and, carefully taking my mind off of Prowl's presence, realized that the cat-being-strangled singing voice had belonged to none other than Sari as she walked down the hall. She stopped when she came past the door to the training room and her chocolate brown eyes brightened as they fell on me.
"Aurora I've been looking for you!" She shrieked, rushing towards me and knocking my phone off of the music player, silencing the music playing. I wondered why Sari was ignoring Prowl until I peered round and noticed where he once was was now an empty space.
"Why, I've been here the whole time?" I mumbled absentmindedly, staring blankly at the wall behind the girl. I was snapped out of it when I saw her waving her hands wildly in front of my face. I jumped back slightly in surprise.
"Hello? Are. You. Okay?" She said loudly and slowly, as if talking to a child. I rolled my eyes and ruffled her hair.
"Of course, just a little bit tired." As if to emphasize, I yawned loudly, my back stretching out into a perfect curve.
"So, what did you want squirt?"
Her eyes lit up again.
"Oh, I almost forgot. Would you like to come with me, Bumblebee and Bulkhead as we go round the city and do…stuff."
I raised an eyebrow "Stuff?" When her eyes started to grow big and watery I mentally cursed and tried my best to look away.
"Please!It'll be fun, I promise!" She begged, hugging my legs pleadingly. After a moment I sighed.
"Sure, why not?" I replied. It would definitely take my mind off of Prowl that was for sure. Sari screeched in happiness at my agreement and grasped my hand tightly, dragging me back to the living room.
I clumsily stumbled into the metal door frame as Sari froze in her tracks and released my hand. Regaining my balance and brushing the hair out of my face, I glared at Sari.
"Thanks for the warning." I half growled. She grinned sheepishly in response. I looked over towards the others, glancing at Prowl, who was meditating at the side of the room. I thought he wouldn't see me staring until his visor turned towards me. In that split second before we both turned away. I had noticed an unknown emotion on his face, and judging by the looks of it, it was a strong one.
"Are you coming too, Aurora." My eyes travelled to Bulkhead and nodded, smiling.
"I dibs riding in you." I declared, trying not to laugh at how dirty it had sounded in my head. Watching as Bulkhead's lips pull up into a heart-warming smile, I knew that the day wasn't going to be all that bad, just as long as I stuck close to my green buddy.
"That's not fair, why does Bulkhead get to take the good looking one?" Bumblebee complained, only realizing his mistake a bit too late. My eyes tightened but I tried to hold back a grin as steam came out of Sari's ears and she ran over to the yellow 'bot, literally seething. 'Bee glanced around hopelessly, fear creeping onto his face.
"Uh, any help guys?"
Optimus made a move towards the rampaging girl but was stopped by a smirking Ratchet.
"Leave her. I wanna see how this ends." Prime gave him a stern look of disapproval, but even I could see the slight curiosity in his posture as he moved to the side for a better view.
"DID. YOU. JUST. CALL. ME. UGLY!" Sari screamed, bringing her fist down onto his foot. My jaw opened slightly as a caught sight of the minor dent she had just emitted. Bumblebee let out a yell of pain and glared down at Sari. They soon both started shouting at each other. I sneaked over to Bulkhead and tapped his leg. He looked down at me questionably.
"I think we should go now." I whispered. He seemed torn between leaving and watching the fight escalate but smiled down at me and transformed. I climbed into the passenger seat and he slammed the door shut, speeding out of the base.
"So, where are we going?" I asked curiously. Bulkhead was silent for a moment.
"Uhh, actually I have no idea. Maybe we could go and check on the dinobots or something." At the mention of the prehistoric beasts I smiled happily. This was certainly going to be interesting.
(Time skip)
The moment we arrived the colossal sound of an agitated dinosaur assaulted our ears, making me wince slightly.
"Sooo…do you think that they will be happy to see us?" I asked with a hint of sarcasm lacing my tone. Bulkhead shrugged and rubbed the back of his head.
"I think so." He replied earnestly, making me giggle.
"Awww Bulky you're so cute!" I murmured, a fond smile on my face. He seemed to be the only robot to be able to do this now; the giant green lug seemed to be able to always lift my mood, no matter the situation, and I loved it. My mind was definitely off of a certain black and gold ninja as we started searching for the dinobots location. Apparently it never occurred to us to bring a map, or at least have remembered where they were. Oh well. It'll come to one of us eventually.
It seemed as if we wouldn't need to search for much longer as I had stepped forward and fell straight through the ground, tumbling down the steep hill all the way to the bottom. I vaguely heard Bulkhead calling my name but my head was very dizzy. When I had finally reached the bottom I slowed down and stared up blankly, my brain pounding painfully in my skull.
"Hey! It that girl who helped us!"
Slowly glancing up, I nearly screamed out loud when I came face to face with a giant faceplate. Sensing my shock the robot stumbled backwards.
"Woah…." I whispered, admiring the three robots standing in front of my. Not just any robots, Autobots. And not just Autobots.
The Dinobots.
Just like in the cartoon, they had transformed and now had discovered that they had new weapons and could move around easier. Grimlock was easily the tallest out of them all, and his height was quite intimidating from my place on the floor.
"Aurora?! You there?! Stay put, I'm coming for you!" I heard Bullhead yell down. I stalled for a second. If I let him see the Dinobots like this now, then I might be changing the future. And not in a good way.
"Uhh, no, don't, I'm fine! I'll be up in a moment!" I called back. Turning back to Grimlock again, I smiled.
"So, how are you liking your new place?" I asked, gesturing around in emphasis as I knew that they weren't the sharpest pencils in the pack. All three started bouncing up and down, reminding me of an excited child.
"I love it here, it big and fun to destroy," ah, that explains the smell of burnt wood "also it give Swoop lot of space to fly around." He barked, pointing towards the robot who turned into a pterodactyl. Grimlock then snarled.
"But me no like nature." I watched in amusement as he swiped his flame sword at an innocent bird sitting on a branch nearby. It squawked as its feathers were slightly singed and it flew away. I turned towards Swoop.
"So, uh, Swoop, and you fly me back up to the top. Please?" I pleaded. He silently nodded and stepped towards me, transforming into his dino-form. I jumped on and he quickly gained altitude. Luckily for me he flew me up to the opposite of where Bulkhead would be, so that he wouldn't see Swoop and freak. He stopped just where the real ground was and I thanked him, climbing up. He roared in response and dropped back down to the others.
Sighing, I carefully treaded my way around the illusion and ended up right behind the giant green Autobot, who was pacing. Sneaking behind him, I yelled 'boo!' and he spun around, bringing his wrecking ball out. I think he was actually going to swing it but quickly transformed it back into his hand as he noticed me.
"Don't do that Aurora; you gave me a spark attack!" He chided. I shrugged sheepishly.
"Sorry Bulkhead. Why don't we go back now?" I replied. Bulkhead nodded and we made our way back to the boat.
He started complaining about not being able to find the Dinobots and I hid my face, as the smirk residing on it would make him question me into where I really disappeared to.
