Judgement Day

I came out of the house with a little skip in my step. Uncle Cade was standing on the porch, staring off. I walked up next to him. "Whatcha doin, Uncle Cade?"

"Huh?" He snaps out of his trance and looks at me. "Oh, nothing, Baby girl. Just thinking." Then he furrowed his brow, and went running for the barn.

I went after him and found him spraying a fire down with the extinguisher. "Unbelievable."

He walked away from the painter-bot and sighed. "Something in here has to make this family some money."

He went up to the truck. "Come on, you old wreck. Judgement Day." Cade turns to me. "Hey, Hannah, go change."

My eyes widened. "Work jeans?"

He nodded with a smirk.

I smiled and ran back to the house. I put my old jeans on and a t-shirt covered in paint stains and some oil stains that won't ever come out, slip old sneakers on and run outside.

We were out there all night... Mostly until I fell asleep on the couch.

. . . . .

"Hannah." I felt something shaking me. "Hannah, wake up."

I groaned and opened my eyes a little. It was Uncle Case who was waking me up. "Five more minutes?"

"No! It's like 10:30; you gotta see this."

"See what?"

He didn't say anything but he ran back to the Marmon.

"Dad! Are you working with lasers? If so, I'm not coming in!" Tessa says from outside.

Uncle Case went running up to the door and rushed Tessa and Lucas inside. Now my interest is peaked. It's rare for him to be like this.

I get up and walk around to the front of the truck were the others are. Uncle Cade was telling them about how something blew a hole in the radiator and that shrapnel ripped the connections apart.

"It's not normal steel!" He says, climbing up the step ladder. He walked across the board that went to the other platform. "And -- And this took some Cade genius -- when I connect it to a working battery," he took the two wire clasps and attached them to the battery.

The truck started to shake and spark where we had taken the radiator out. "Calling all... Calling all Autobots."

I gaped at it. I recognized that voice anywhere. The others just stared.

"Oh yeah. I think we just found a Transformer." He finishes, holding the cables up with a tiny smile on his face.

I smiled big.

"Tran..." Lucas's face turned red a little. "Hah... Evacuate!" They both went running for the side door.

We both looked at each other and ran after them. "Guys, wait!"
