I was running. I was running from a group called MECH. They killed my parents and tried to kidnap me. I managed to give them the slip but I knew I needed to get to a phone and fast. I made it into the large city of Los Angelos and quickly found a payphone. I called the number my parents ingrained in my brain since I was little.

There was one ring. Two ring. The person picked up.

"Hello", the man on the other side said.

"Agent Fowler?", I ask, my breath coming out quickly as I look around me, people walking past me, not giving me a second glance. I see a black van coming toward me and knew I had to get out of there quickly.

"Who is this?", he bellows.

"My name is Jaymen Sanders. The only other thing I can say is Greece and Reese Snowballs. I gotta go now. You know where to meet me", I hurry out before ending the call. I run down a side street and come out on the other end. I head out of town and make it safely into a forest. I make my way to a clearing which my parents had taken me on occasion. They told me that if something ever happened to them to call that number and then say the keywords and meet him in this clearing.

Soon, I heard helicopter blades. I look up and see a helicopter, obviously. I wait a few moments and it lands.

"Jaymen Sanders?", a voice shouts over the noise.

"That's me!", I exclaim and make my way to the helicopter.

"Get in!", the man says. He was a bit chubby if you ask me. We got out of there and he hands me a headset.

"How old are you?", he asks as we head out over the desert.

"17", I say, looking out the window.

"Do you know why they want you?", he asks.

I nod. "I suspect it is because of my... ability."

Agent Fowler nods. "Your parents told me about that. You can turn into a giant robot, right?"

I nod. "It sounds a little crazy..."

"We are approaching our destination. I asked them to keep you safe. To protect you", Fowler says.

"Who's them?" I ask, curious what he meant.

"A government secret. You'll understand more when you see them", Fowler says. "And I suggest keeping your ability to yourself for now..."

"Okay...", I blink, wondering what all the secrecy was about.

We land on top of a plateau and I was severely confused until Fowler led me to an elevator.

"Is this a military base?", I ask in the elevator.

"An old one", Fowler says. The elevator opens and Fowler immediately shouts, "Prime!"

"I see you have brought the girl, Agent Fowler", a deep baritone voice says. I look around and gasp as I see... giant... metal... robots... I stare at them in awe...

They look exactly like my other form... I was about to mention this to Fowler but then I remembered that we were keeping that a secret.

"Hello, little one", the deep baritone voice spoke again. I realized he was talking to me. "May I ask what your designation is?"

I look around and see a very tall red and blue bot looking at me.

"Uh...", I was at a loss for words.

"Her name is Jaymen", Fowler cut in.

That's when I snap out of it. "I can speak for myself, Fowler!" I glare at him before turning to look back at the robot. "But yes, my name is Jaymen, though I prefer to go by Jay."

"My name is Optimus Prime and this is my team", he says and gestures to the rest of the bots. The tallest only came up to Optimus' elbow... I study them all. One is red with horns and looked to be male. The one next to him looked to be female. She is tiny and is blue and pink. Mostly blue. Then there was a bulky green one and a black and yellow one, mostly yellow. Then there was one standing next to the computers. He was orange and white and seemed to be a medic.

"And what are their names?", I ask. They all introduce themselves.

Horned Red's name is Cliffjumper. Tiny Blue is Arcee. Bulky Green is Bulkhead. Suits him. Black and yellow is Bumblebee, his name suits him as well. Them orange and white is Ratchet. He seems to be very grumpy.

Fowler then leaves after making sure I was comfortable staying with the robots.

"So... what are you?", I ask, not sure if they were actually robots since they seemed to be something else. And because I've been in my robot form and I most definitely don't feel like a robot.

"We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron also known as Autobots. We are fighting Decepticons who are here for energon", Optimus say.

"What's energon?", I ask.

"Our fuel, ammunition, and lifeblood", Optimus answers.

"And currently, we should be out scouting for it but Fowler contacted us saying that he needed us to meet you", Ratchet grumbles.

"Well, don't let me stop you from scouting for energon. It sure seems like you need it", I say, using a device from my other form to scan them all. They didn't notice me scanning them as it was an internal scanner. They were all low, Ratchet especially. It was way below the bar for fully functional.

Optimus nods. "Whoever has control over the most energon is the one currently winning the war."

"Then go scout for energon!!", I exclaim. They all jump before Optimus nods to Ratchet who sends them all to different places.

"Whoa!! How did you do that? Where did they go?", I exclaim, excitement taking over me.

"I ground bridged them to the desired coordinates", Ratchet rolls his eyes, as if this is common knowledge.

"Hey, don't roll your eyes!! I just barely met you, I shouldn't know all of what you can do just yet!!. And also... can you teach me how to work the ground bridge so that way if you're busy I can help out somehow...?", I look down at the ground. Optimus was still at base, amusement in his eyes from watching us.

I could sense that Ratchet was about to say no but Optimus stops him.

"Ratchet, it would be best if you taught her, so she can help out in some way. Besides, it would allow you to scout some as well, instead of being stuck in base all day", Optimus says.

Ratchet sighs. "Fine. But don't expect me to enjoy it!" He sends Optimus to the coordinates and turns to me.

"Go to that computer right there", he orders. I follow his instructions. We connect the computer to the ground bridge and Ratchet teaches me how to open the bridge. He was surprised by how fast I was picking it up.

"Alright, what's your secret? You're picking this up way to quickly to be a human. It's almost like you've done this before", Ratchet says, once I successfully open the groundbridge without his help. He only explained what to do. He didn't show me, he just explained to me how to do it and then told me to do it.

"I don't have a secret", I lied. "I just happen to remember almost everything and it helps me when I need to do something."

Okay, it was partial lie. I do have a secret but I also have very good memory. Ratchet hummed, almost as if he didn't believe me but he let it go. Soon Cliffjumper called for a ground bridge.

"Hey, Doc, can we get a bridge?", he asks, referring to him and Arcee. They're partners, have been for a while.

"Don't call me Doc", Ratchet growled before nodding towards me.

"One ground bridge coming up, Cliffjumper. Just need your coordinates", I state.

He lists off some numbers and I put them into the computer before hitting the enter key. The ground bridge opens and Cliffjumper and Arcee come driving through.

"Thanks kid", Cliffjumper says.

"Hey!! I'm not a kid", I shout at him. He rolls his eyes before looking around, noticing that Arcee and Ratchet are busy. He sneaks off, causing me to raise an eyebrow.

"Hey, Ratchet I'm going exploring", I say. Ratchet grumbles in acknowledgement and I chase after Cliffjumper.

He was putting something above a door and I look at him, letting him balance whatever it was there. He pulls his hand back and then I speak.

"What are you doing?", I say, causing him to jump and hits the door that the thing was balanced on. I saw the thing rock and then tip over onto Cliffjumper. A bunch of pink paint came out of the thing, which I now know is a bucket. I watch him and laugh as he glares at me.

"You were setting up a prank!!!", I laugh. Cliffjumper starts to step toward me. I laugh nervously before running to the main room, Cliffjumper not far behind me. I see Ratchet and I squeal his name as I hide behind his foot.

"Ratchet!! Hide me!!", I squeal, confusing him. He turned around just in time for Cliffjumper to run into him, leaving behind some pink paint on Ratchet too. I burst out laughing before I see two angry bots watching me. I laugh nervously before running. I find Arcee wandering the halls and I run past her.

"Hi, Arcee. Bye, Arcee", I say, continuing to run when I hear two sets of heavy footprints chasing after me. They pause for a second and peek around a corner to see them talking with Arcee. I giggle slightly as Arcee chuckles slightly before heading back towards the main room. The other two bots come towards me and I quickly find a hiding place in some scrap metal. They run past me and I giggle slightly, making them pause before looking back at the scrap pile.

"Uh oh..", I say before seeing a vent just big enough for me to climb in. I smirk.

"See ya, boys", I smile before running into the vents. I explore the vents and climb upwards before finding my self in a vent in the wall of the main room. I giggle as I see Optimus, Bulkhead and Bumblebee talking to Arcee.

I listen closely to what she's saying.

"I was minding my own business when Jaymen ran past, laughing. Soon Ratchet and Cliffjumper ran past as well, both with pink paint on them, Cliffjumper with more", she chuckles. "They stopped to explain what happened. Cliff was trying to set up a prank for Bee but Jaymen startled him causing him to spill it up on himself. Then she went and deliberately hid by Ratchet, getting him with pink paint as well."

Bulkhead and Bumblebee laughed, while Optimus looked around, soon noticing me sitting on the vent. I lift my finger up to my lips as if to say "shhh". He doesn't react but I can see amusement in his eyes. I giggle softly before seeing Cliffjumper and Ratchet come into the main room, still having pink paint on them. I full on laugh, not being able to keep it contained anymore.

All the bots eyes snap up to me and I wave. Ratchet glared at me, while Cliffjumper tried to get me down from the vents. I laugh before going to retreat back into the vents.

"Jaymen", Optimus' voice stops me. I turn back and go to the edge to see Optimus by the vent and Ratchet and Cliffjumper no where to be seen.

"Where are they?", I ask.

"They went to clean off the paint", Optimus says.

"Okay", I say cheerfully.

"Do you wish to come down from there?" he asks.

"Nah, I like it up here. Let's me see things easier and I can't get squished from up here", I say.

"Very well. Let me know when you wish to get down."

I don't say anything, I just watch them. Arcee and Cliffjumper talk a lot and I like to watch them just because I can see some things in their body language. Bulkhead and Bumblebee are either talking or messing around. Optimus is doing something on the computer while Ratchet is messing with something.

For some reason, however, I am drawn most to Optimus. Arcee and Cliffjumper are just too easy to read and so it's easy to see they like each other. Bulkhead and Bumblebee are kind of boring, as well as Ratchet. Optimus, however... his body language is different. He's difficult to read. Only his Optics tend to show emotion.

I yawn and Optimus notices even though he was looking the opposite direction. He walks over to me and overs me his hand. I climb onto it and he sets me down an old couch. It was a comfy couch, actually, and I fell asleep quite quickly.
