Thanks to all my readers and reviewers. I hope this chapter is more interesting, the last was sort of the beginning I guess lol. In this update we will see how Lyla is handling herself…

She was officially screwed. Her room was totaled, and she was afraid to check the freezer.

Oh no. When dad comes home he will probably open it, then all hell will break loose.

Lyla groaned and hugged her knees, leaning against the pillows at the headboard of her bed.

"Whatcha doing?" A curious voice asked.

She raised an eyebrow at the small robot standing in front of her. It was Skywarp of course, and for the hundredth time, he was annoying her, "I'm having a stressful moment here. Go away please."

"Don't bother the human." Thundercracker told him, leaning against a coffee cup on her bedside table, "She might squish you."

"Heh. Talk about role reversal." Skywarp snickered in response. He began poking Lyla's toe; she pulled her foot back a scowl on her face.

"Stop bothering me." She demanded, feeling ready to scream. This would have been cool, really awesome actually, but not after finding out that with Transformers came lots of destruction, mainly to her room; and that Skywarp was really annoying in person.

"Leave her alone." Hotshot chose at that moment to climb up her bed sheets and perch himself at the foot of her bed. He glared at Skywarp who just grinned.

"I can't help it." He replied, "She feels so funny!"

Lyla made a face, "Gee thanks, now I feel better." She looked at Optimus who was at her window, silently gazing out of it, "Optimus, where is Megatron at? He's not up to something is he?" Ever since she had explained everything to them, he had made a temporary 'at ease' and left the room. He could be up to all sorts of trouble, knowing him. Megatron was never at peace for long.

Optimus looked at her, blue optics shining in the sunlight, "Don't worry Lyla, we will keep you safe if he tries anything."

She was going to remark about how she could probably take care of herself, because of the whole size difference thing, but was too honored by his words to say anything. Lyla smiled at the thought. Optimus is my own persona bodyguard, oh yeah!

She felt a weight on her foot and looked down at Skywarp who was now sitting on her foot, looking very much happy to be there, nudging her big toe with his tiny foot. Lyla chose to ignore him and just continued sitting there.

"Human." Lyla turned to look at Starscream who was sitting on top of her dresser.

"My name is Lyla, and what is it?" She was getting awfully tired of being called human, but she supposed it was better than flesh bag or scum, which Megatron had called her before she threatened to beat him to death with her tennis shoe.

"Why is it that the rest of our teams are not in attendance?" He asked, "Where is Soundwave? He is not usually without the cassettes."

Lyla frowned, not sure what to say, "Well…I'm not sure. I suppose for some reason only you guys were affected." She still refused to tell them the truth, she wouldn't want to know if she was a toy and not real. The truth is better sometimes left unsaid…. and she didn't want them to have a midlife crisis or whatever in the middle of her room. They also might decide to murder her in her sleep, who knows.

"I still find it amusing." Starscream gave Hotshot, the closest autobot, a wicked smile, "That the autobots are outnumbered."

Hotshot scowled, "Yeah right Screamer. You don't stand a chance, there's just more of you to wipe the floor with."

Starscream smirked, "Tell yourself what you must, if that makes you feel better."

"No arguing please." Lyla sighed, "You're going to give me a headache."

Hotshot grinned at Starscream who frowned, "Screamers voice does have that effect."

"Hotshot." Optimus voice was low in warning.

"What is that supposed to mean? And stop calling me that!" Starscream stood up from his place on the dresser, eyes narrowed dangerously.

Lyla hid a smile. Truthfully Starscream's voice wasn't that bad in real life, actually less shrill than that in the cartoons, more of a smooth tone. Only when he screamed did you really hear the shriller part of his vocals, and that only happened once so far, when he had gotten shot earlier by Hotshot, who seemed to have a personal vendetta against him.

She remembered the first cartoon she watched, Tranformers Armada, and how Hotshot and Starscream were constantly fighting. That was when she first got into the fandom, and had grown to favor Starscream the most; especially after his interesting relationship with Alexis.

I remember that, she thought with a slight smile, the ending was pretty sad though. She wondered if somehow Starscream remembered dying, he was the armada toy after all, or was this an event yet to come into his mind?

"Lyla." She turned her head in surprise to look at Thundercracker who was sitting near Starscream. She was a little surprised that he had said her name, but it was a welcome change, "how is it that we are getting home?"

Hmm how to answer that. "I'm not sure yet." She tried to give them a comforting smile, "but don't worry! I'll try my best to figure this thing out." Is this answer satisfactory?

Thundercracker looked uncertain but nodded, and Starscream just scowled. Okay I guess not.

Lyla was about to say something else but at that moment the doorbell downstairs rang. She quickly leaped off the bed, Skywarp screaming as he was sent flying, sadly not literally in his sense, "Sorry!" She yelled over her shoulder as she quickly ran downstairs to answer the door. Great timing. I hope it isn't dad coming home early or something.

She opened the door a crack and squeaked as it was thrown open the rest of the way, Lyla backing up a few steps, "Heya Lyle!" It was Sam.

"Sam!" Lyla blinked, "What are you doing here?"

"Celebrating!" Sam made a face, "Duh silly head! Did you forget?"

"Err, no. Not really. Maybe, yes." Lyla was nervous, she glanced towards the stairs, praying silently that they would all stay in her room and be very quiet.

Sam stared at her for a second, and Lyla smiled, "What?"

The girl then grinned, looking mischievous, "Lyle…what are you hiding from me?" Curse your perception.

"N-nothing!" Lyla blurted, feeling a blush cover her cheeks as Sam stared at her. She always had a way of making a person very nervous.

"I will find out Lyle~" Sam sang and skipped to the kitchen, "Not it's time to raid your kitchen for snacks." Lyla followed after quickly, her heart pounding in her chest. Not the freezer…not the freezer.

"Cool!" Sam squealed in the kitchen. Lyla quickly ran into the kitchen and was relieved to see Sam holding up a Pringles container, "I love these things. You've been holding out on me."

"Yep." Lyla stared at the freezer, "My bad."

Sam cheerfully pulled the tab on the container and eating the chips, leaning against the counter, about six feet away from the fridge.

"So what's the game plan?" Sam popped the lid back on the container, "Are we going to the movies? Heading to the park for some soccer? Your room for some game time?"

"No." Lyla said quickly, "I mean, yeah, the movies sounds fun. I'll be right back, gotta get my purse." She quickly ran out of the room and upstairs, hoping that the freezer would remain shut while she was gone.

Everybody in her room looked at her as she ran in gasping. Stupid random asthma attack. Lyla quickly grabbed her purse off the top of her DVD cabinet and quickly ran to the door, she glanced behind her, "Stay here guys. Don't leave my room, and if anyone comes in, hide. I'll be back as soon as I can. Don't kill each other or destroy my stuff."

Thundercracker opened his mouth to say something but she was already gone. He looked at Starscream, "Have you seen Skywarp?"

"No, not really." Starscream grumbled, and continued to admire a nickel on Lyla's floor.

"I was afraid of that." Thundercracker sighed.

00oo00oo00oo00

"Geez slow down." Lyla squeaked as Sam put the 'pedal to the metal'.

"Scared Lyles?" Sam laughed as she made a sharp turn down another road. I swear, one day Sam is going to kill me with her driving.

"No I'm just scared of the fact that you actually have a driver's license." Lyla said as she tightened her seat belt around her waist.

Sam smiled, "Good thing my Uncle Bob is the driver instructor." She winked at Lyla in the mirror who just rolled her eyes in reply.

Lyla looked out the window for a while, then felt a little motion sick and opened her purse to get a mint, they usually helped. She was surprised however when she opened it and found something unexpected inside.

Skywarp grinned at her from inside the bag.

Lyla moved her head closer to her purse, glancing at Sam to make sure she didn't see her. Thank goodness I'm in the backseat. Lyla couldn't sit in front; Sam's driving was so nauseating that sitting upfront usually meant you upchucked, "Sky, what the heck are you doing in there?" She hissed under her breath, "Speak softly for the sake of us all." I'm not about to explain to my friend that I have a bunch of tiny robots living in my house.

"I warped in here." Skywarp whispered, a wicked little grin on his face, "Did I scare you?"

"No not really." Lyla growled, "You're going to get us in huge trouble, just sit in there and be quiet until we get home." She closed the purse before he could say anything else and tried to remain calm, though inside she was a wreck. I'm going to a public place…with Skywarp in my friggin purse! Lyla played with her necklace, feeling more than a little nervous. This was not good…

When they arrived, Sam opened the door and the two girls walked up to the theater, a skip in Sam's step as she ran inside, Lyla hesitating at the door. Making sure that no one was looking, she peeked in her purse, "Skywarp, don't make a sound, be as still as possible. If you are seen, we are going to be in huge trouble, got it?"

Lyla then walked inside and met Sam at the counter, who was staring up at the selection board, "How about we see Disseverance 2? Ooh, what about Revenge of the Gobstoppers?" Sam said.

In the end Disseverance 2 won. It was an action flick about a detective agency that solves murder crimes, the main hero being a time traveling cyborg. Lyla would have been enjoying the movie, it had lots of special effects, but she was too busy worrying about the robot in her purse to really pay too much attention. Damn it Skywarp! Why did you have to hijack my purse?

Sam squealed with laughter as one of the bad guys surprised everyone by jumping into view all a sudden. Suddenly she lost her grip on the popcorn bag and it tumbled to the floor, "Dang it!" She bent down to try and save what was left but just sighed and turned to Lyla, "I'll be right back, got to get some more popcorn. Extra butter or no?"

"That's fine." Lyla waited until after she was gone and peered into her purse, "Skywarp are you doing okay? Sky?" He didn't answer. The girl sighed and reached into her purse, she froze when she only felt her wallet and a pen. Crap! He's loose.

She slowly placed her purse in the seat next to her and bent down to look on the floor, "Skywarp?" She hissed, "Where are you? You are so dead when I get my hands on you."

Lyla thought she heard giggling and with her teeth gritted, got down on the floor, and glanced underneath her seat. With so little lighting in the theater it was really hard to see.

"It's okay Lyle." Sam had returned and was looking down at her curiously, "I already got some more popcorn, no need to pick it off the floor."

Lyla quickly got back into her seat, a blush in her cheeks, "Sam, I just thought I dropped something, I don't eat off the floor."

Sam winked, "Sure you don't." With a small giggle she took her seat and handed the popcorn to Lyla who sighed. She tried to relax for the rest of the movie, but was too freaked out. Skywarp is loose in the freaking movie theater! What if someone sees him? This is so not cool, at all.

Lyla closed her eyes and tried to lean back in her seat, one hand gripping the edge of the seat, the other tight on her purse. So much for celebrating.

Hope you all liked this chapter. I needed to update, I'm sorry for the long wait. Truthfully I was ready to throw in the towel. I made this story to redeem my old one, which was only about three chapters and incomplete. I never finished it and it sounded stupid so I deleted it. I created this one to make it up for those who reviewed and try and challenge myself. I don't want to be the author who doesn't continue her stories. There are way too many of those disappointing ones, I'm going to try my best to finish all my stories!

Sorry for the long author note. Leave me a review if you want, and let me know how you feel about this chapter. I think it is better than the last one, but that might just be me.

Well, laters! :D Thanks for reading!
