"Hey, Jack! Can I get a normal please?" Sasha asked as she walked up to the counter in K.O. "Hope!" Jack exclaimed turning around to look at her. "Finally! Just give me a sec with these guys in the car then I'll be right there!" He called moving back to the drive-through window. Sasha rolled her eyes. Sasha got out her wallet and started to take out more money.

"Hey! I have to pay for that!" Jack shouted sticking his head out the window as the jerks in the car drove off without paying for their food. "Here Jack," Sasha said holding the money out, "I'll help you pay for the food that they took." She sighed. It was the third time this had happened this week. "Hope, you shouldn't have to this." Jack sighed looking down ashamed. "Jack," Sasha punched his arm softly over the counter, "Chill. I have more than enough money to help you pay. I would help you pay for your dream bike but both you and your mother said no." Sasha said making Jack smile. "Now are you gonna get me my normal? Or am I going hungry?" Jack laughed and went to get her normal after school meal.

A ding went off on Sashas' phone making her turn it on. 'Cliffjumper dead. Arcee just pulled up outside.' From Uncle Connor. 'Thanks! :-P. We'll be out having "Fun" soon. Just gotta get ma food.' Sasha sent back. 'You and your junk food. You know Ratchet will tell you off soon for it right?' Uncle Connor asked (Via Text. Duh) 'Yep! But you and him ain't gonna stop me! :-D' Sasha texted back giggling. "Hey, Hope. Here's your food. Wanna go outside with me while I wait for my Mom?" Jack asked as Sasha looked up from her phone. Handing her money over she smiled.

"Yep! Thanks again for the food." Sasha said as they walked out of Big Burger. They both went and sat down on the sidepath beside the car park, that only had a motorcycle parked in. Jack jumped as his phone went off. {Hey Mom, I just got off. No, I'm not going to the dance. Experience suggests I should never cut a rug. Unless I'm stowing carpet. Be careful? Seriously? This is a Jasper.} Sasha snorted. If only he knew. Jack gave her a glance before setting his eyes on Arcee. "I love you." Sasha snorted again, giggling. {Huh? Oh yeah. Love you too mom.} Jack hung up the phone, looking over at the blue and pink bike. Jack got up and ran his hands over the bike.

Sasha hovered behind Jack as he sat on the bike, "Hello, beautiful. Where have you been all my life? Nice, It may take a few K.O. paychecks, But I am gonna own a ride like you someday." Jack said sighing. "Again-" Sasha started only to get cut off by Sierra. "Are you talking to your motorcycle?" Sierra and her friend burst into laughter as Sasha glared at them. Sasha still didn't know why he chose that horrid girl to have a crush on. "Uh, my motorcycle? No. I-I mean, yes, yes. It's- It's mine, but, uh, no I'm - I'm talking to ah, Hope." Jack said motioning over to where Sasha was. Sasha gave a cheeky grin and waved from where she was sitting. "Anyway, How's things, Sierra?" Jack asked trying to get her attention again. "Take you for a spin sometime?" Jack offered as Sasha finished her food and chucking her rubbish in the bin then walking over to four of them.

"Come on, smooth operator. Wrap it up." Arcee whispered moving her mirror to look at the two purple cars coming up behind them. "Hey, Jack? I'm gonna go see my other friend. Call if you need help!" Sasha said cheerfully seeing the time on her phone, noting that she was going to be late for Raf. "Uh, okay? See ya later?" Jack said but his words fell on deaf ears. He turned back to Sierra. "You know my name?" She asked. "We're in homeroom together. I-I'm Jack. Jack Darby." Jack stammered.

Sasha walked over to the other side of the road before two purple cars turned their lights on full beam. Spotlighting Arcee and Jack. Arcee took off with Jack while the two purple cars took off, making Sasha sigh. Sasha's phone suddenly rang. {Hey Raf. What? No. I'm just walking through the pipe now,} She said before vanishing from the sidewalk that she was on.

Sasha appeared in a pipe and hung up the phone. "See? I'm right here." Sasha said walking around the corner. "Hey, Hope. Watch this." Raf said playing with his remote-controlled car. "That's cool," Sasha said as Raf's phone rang. {Hi, Mama. Racing. Right up the street. Okay. Just five more minutes?} Raf asked putting his phone away. "You have to go? Dam it. I just got here." Sasha sighed then looked up as she heard a voice scream "AAAH!" Jack yelled as Arcee drove down to the waterbed. (Is that what it's called?)

"Whoa!" Raf said standing up. "Unh, You have no idea." Jack huffed. "Oh, hey Jack!" Sasha said waving as she and Raf walked over to Jack and Arcee. "Huh? How'd you..." Jack trailed off as the three of them could hear tires screeching. The three of them backed up as the two purple cars came driving down the hill and then jumped in mid-air, transforming into giant robots. The three of them turned around and ran away when Arcee transformed as well, "This ends here, 'Cons." She said before running and jumping up to hit the 'Con down.

"What are they?" Raf asked shocked. "Talking cars that turn into robots. Or the other way around." Jack said wide-eyed. "Yah!" Arcee shouted punching the 'Cons. " This is for Cliff!" She shouted before pausing then backflipping to get away from the shots. "Unh!" She shouted as she got hit by a shot. The three humans looked at her before looking up to see a yellow car drive off the bridge transforming into another robot. Bumblebee land on one robot then punched the other one in the face.

Arcee got up and started to walk over to Bumblebee when he stopped and looked down after hearing a crunch. Looking down he spotted a small toy yellow car. ::Sorry:: Bumblebee buzzes. "No problem.... Really," Raf said. Before Bumblebee got shot by a blast. "Bee!" Sasha shouted watching as the two 'Cons started to advance on him. "Leave him alone!" Raf shouted then got scared as the three robots looked to them. "Please?" Raf said scared. "Bad call," Jack said crouching down as one of the 'Cons started to chase them. "Come on! Come on!" Jack and Sasha said as they pushed Raf along first.

The three of them made it to the pipe when the 'Con grabbed Sasha who was behind both Jack and Raf. This made the two boys stop. "Hope!" They both called. "DON'T!" Sasha shouted putting her hands out, watching as the boys started to come closer. She shut her eyes and counted to five. When she finished, the 'Con was shot with a blast making him fall over. "Keep moving!" the sixteen-year-old yelled at her two friends shoving at them to move. They then turned around to see Bumblebee. ::You guys alright?:: He buzzed. "Thank you," Sasha and Raf jinxed smiling. ::No problem!:: 'Bee said before walking away. "Don't look back," Jack said shoving the two ahead through the pipe. "What did we just see?" Raf asked looking at the two older kids. "No idea and I'm not sure I want to find out," Jack said making the two walk faster down the pipe.

~(Time skip. Brought to you from Cybertron.)~

School had just been let out as Sasha and Jack walked outside. Noticing Raf, Jack started to walk over as Sasha ran ahead of him. "Raf!" Sasha shouted when she was a couple of meters away from him. "Hope!" Raf said running to her and giving her a hug. "Raf, Sasha, hey. Look, let's just keep this between us and forget that anything happened, okay?" Jack asked as a car horn tooted. "Jack!" Raf gasped. "Too late for that," Sasha muttered. As Bumblebee drove next to them, "Oh, not again." Jack complained as Bumble opened his door. ::Hey Mr Glasses, Miss. Blue eyes hop in. Mr Other guy, Your ride is over there:: Bumblebee buzzed. "It wants us to get in," Jack said hesitantly.

"No, just me and Hope," Raf said. "How do you know that?" Jack asked. "He/it said so." Sasha and Raf said. "What!" Jack asked looking at the two of them. "Your's is over there," Raf pointed to Arcee. "Look, I really don't think that-" Jack started as Sasha and Raf got in the car. "Hey," Sasha said, "How's it going?" Raf asked as Bumblebee closed the door. "Hope? Raf?" Jack said looking as they drove off.

~( Small time skip. Brought to you from a crazy Miko and sugared up Hope.)~

"Whoo-Hoo!" Miko cheered as she rode behind Jack on Arcee, making Sasha giggle from where she was in Bumblebee. They drove past a stop sign as everyone, but Sasha, started to panic as they drove towards the huge plateau. A giant door opened up as they drove through. The four of them got out once the 'Bots stopped. Raf, Jack and Miko were looking around in shock while Sasha just shrugged, "I've seen bigger." she muttered getting weird looks from the three humans.

Ratchet stood by his computers, watching them as Bulkhead walked up. "Thought there were only three?" Ratchet asked Arcee, "Haven't you heard? Humans multiply." Arcee retorted back getting a snort from Sasha. "Not that quickly." She muttered as they stood by her. "I'm Raf," Raf said holding his hand out. "Hope," Hope said simply. "I'm Miko," Miko said running to Bulkhead. "Who are you?" she asked. "Bulkhead," Bulkhead said looking down at her.

"Are you a car? I bet you're a truck. A monster truck! Do you like heavy metal? How much do you weigh? Ever use a wrecking ball for a punching bag?" Milo sped, making Sasha chuckle. "So, if you guys are robots, how made you?" Raf asked confused. "Puh-lease." Ratchet scoffed making Sasha snort again, as the floor started to shake. The humans turned around to see Optimus Prime. "We are Autonomous Robotic organisms, from the planet Cybertron, Also known as Autobots," Optimus explained. "Why are you here?" Jack asked stepping forwards. 

"To protect your planet from the Decepticons." He said. "The jokers who tried to bump us off last night," Arcee explained. "Okay. Why are They here?" Jack tried again. "A fair question, Jack. In part, they are here because our planet is uninhabitable, ravaged by centuries of civil war." Optimus said crouching down to talk. "Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, people. Stupid, stupid, stupid, wars. Stupid, stupid, everything!" Sasha groaned hitting her head on the wall as the 'Bots gave her looks of confusion. The humans, used to her antics, turned back to Optimus. "Why were you fighting a war?" Raf asked him, getting a quiet murmur from where Sasha was.

"Because stupid people, or 'bots, can't just talk things out. Noooooooo. They have to fight for what they believe in. And not figuratively, literally." Sasha ranted under her breath making sure the humans couldn't hear her. "Foremost, over our world's supply of energon, the fuel and lifeblood of all Autobots and Decepticons alike. The combat was fierce and endured for centuries. In the beginning, I fought alongside one whom I considered a brother. But in war, ideals can be corrupted. And it was thus...that Megatron lost his way." Optimus said as Miko yawned.

"Is there gonna be a quiz?" Miko asked playing with her hair as Sasha burst into giggles, once again getting weird looks. "What?" Sasha defended, " I find that funnier each time she says that!" "So what does Megatron... Or any of this have to do with us?" Jack asked "Megatron has not been seen nor heard from in some time. But if his return is imminent, as I fear, it could be catastrophic." Optimus said.
