The Beauty of Knowing Something Strange.

"Yeah, Mom. I'll be home later. I've got to stop by the library later," I said, rolling my eyes. She just had to call me as soon as I reached my locker. Didn't she? 

"You remind me so much of-" Mom started to say before I cut her off. 

"Yeah, I remind you of dad. I'm sorry for having to go to the library to finish schoolwork off," I snapped. She knew I hated the topic of dad.

"Well have fun," Mom said quietly. It almost made me feel guilty for snapping. 

"Look, Mom, I'm sorry," I sighed as I closed my locker. 

"I know, hun. It was my fault for bringing it up," Mom told me. 

"Can I stop by and get some food?" I ask hopefully, swinging my bag over my shoulder and making my way out of the hallway where kids were still trying to escape.

"Sure. I'll transfer the money to your account. And, Sweetie?" I paused in my walking. 

"Yeah?" I ask as I avoided another student. 

"Have fun. I love you," Mom said making me smile. 

"Love you too, Mom," I told her before hanging up. I put my phone in my pocket and started walking again. I just made it to the stairs before some slagging idiot decided that it would be fun to accidentally run into me.

I then fell down the three steps and landed on my butt right in front of one of those flashy motorcycles. This blue one looked pretty sweet if I do say myself. 

"Primus, Stupid slagging kids. They really need to look where they're going," I muttered in the strange language that my father had taught me. I never meant to keep saying it, the language was just hard-wired into my brain so if I got pissed off or upset I accidentally slipped back into it.

I swear I saw the motorbike I had fallen next to jump in surprise. I looked down at myself, "Great, dusty clothes," I muttered again, getting up and dusting myself off. I grabbed my bag off the ground, then almost hitting another kid. 

"Watch it," I hissed before realising who it was. 

"Raf!" I smiled sheepishly. 

"Hey, Holly," Raf said. 

"Sorry, Raf. I'm not really having a good day today," I chuckled rubbing the back of my head.

I then looked at Raf closely, "Are you okay? Is Vince bullying you again? Do I have to beat him up?" I ask noticing how nervous he seemed. 

"No, he's not bullying me," Raf said quickly, "I'm just waiting for Jack. Have you seen him?" Raf asked. 

I shrugged, "Sorry," I mutter. 

"It's fine, I've got to get going anyway," Raf told me. 

"See you tomorrow?" I ask. He nods before running off.

"See you, Miko!" I wave to the girl who was drawing the blue motorcycle that I had landed in front of. 

"See you, Holly!" Miko shouted back before continuing to draw. I smiled and left the school grounds. I had only just made it to the road before a car was stopping me. 

"Holly!" Raf said from inside when the window opened. 

"Raf?" I asked confused. 

"Come on in!" He smiled.

"Why?" I asked tilting my head. 

"Would you believe me if I told you that giant robots wanted to meet you?" Raf asked sheepishly. 

"Giant robots? What? Why?" I asked ultimately confused. 

"Just get in already," A voice said. I blinked. 

"Did the car just speak? Or am I going crazy?" I look at Raf who merely smiled. "Alright then," I muttered as I climbed in. "Mom's gonna kill me if I'm late home," I tell Raf who chuckled and the car who merely gave an amused whirl.

"Holy Mother of Unicrons," I said in awe of the tunnel. The car who had told me that his name was Bumblebee, gave a chuckle at my wording. 

"I love the government," I muttered. It was completely obvious that this was human-made and no ordinary human wage would make something like this so it had to be the government. 

"Oh, frick me," I said in English as Raf was looking at the orange and white giant being in awe. Another one came up this time a bulky green one.

Raf and I quickly jumped out of Bumblebee. I looked over to see Miko and Jack. Bumblebee and the blue motorcycle transformed into metal being as well. 

"Fuck," I mumbled as I compared my tiny pathetic size to their giant ones. 

"I thought there were two?" The orange and white asked. 

"Haven't you heard Humans multiply," The female being said rolling her eyes and moving away. 

"I'm Raf," Raf offered as Miko ran forward. 

"I'm Miko," Miko said to the green being.

"Who are you?" She asked the poor being. 

"Bulkhead," He said unsurely. 

I sighed knowing what was coming next, "Are you a car? I bet you're a truck, a monster truck! Do you like heavy metal? How much do you weight? Ever used a wrecking ball as a punching bag?" Miko fired off making me roll my eyes. T.M.I, Miko, T.M.I.

"So if you guys are robots? Who made you?" Raf, ever so gullible, asked them, making the orange and white one scoff, "Puh-lease."

Our attention was brought to the much taller being that walked in. I swear he looked shocked to see me. Eh, could've just been from seeing two extra humans than he thought.

"We are Autonomous Robotic organisms, from the planet Cybertron, Also known as Autobots." the red and blue being started. 

"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." light blue female being 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." the blue and red being said crouching down to talk. I swear he's a fragging giant. 

"Why were you fighting a war?" Raf asked cutely. What? I thought it was cute.

"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." Boss-bot, because I don't know his name yet, said as Miko yawned. Megatron, that sounds familiar...

"Is there gonna be a quiz?" Miko asked playing with her hair. I sighed dejectedly. That girl really doesn't like to do work. 

"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." Boss-bot said. 

Well, that sounds bad. Like, we all gonna die, bad.
