4. New Acquaintances

General Narration:

Sky had gone through another day with her new 'companions'. Little did she know she was going to meet some more very shortly.

Sky hopped out of recharge feeling bright and awake, ready for the day ahead of her. As usual she awoke to Smoke's face outside her door.

"Do you wait there all morning until I come out?" Skyfrost asked. "Haha, um, no, uh you just wake up when I do sooo yeh." Smokescreen nervously replied back, rubbing his servo on the back of his neck. Skyfrost simply smiled and started walking to the main room, with Smoke by her side.

They both entered the room only to find Ratchet working on his computers. "Where are the others Rach'?" Smokescreen asked. "Optimus, Bumblebee, Arcee and Bulkhead are out investigating an energy signature I found earlier this morning." Ratchet explained. The two young 'Bots nodded.

Skyfrost's POV:

"WOAH!!! JACK GET OVER HERE!! YOU TO RAPH!!! GET YOUR LAZY BUTS HERE.....NOWWWWWWWWW!!!!" I heard a scream across the room. I transformed my servos into my blasters unaware of the source of the sound.

I kept spinning trying to locate the sound source. My optics finally fell on a small figure, a human, a girl with black pigtails and a pink streak.

"Woah Woah Woah, Sky, calm down its cool, these are our human friends. " Smoke assured me. I looked at him giving him the 'are-you-sure' face. He nodded back at me. I sighed and transformed back to my servos. Smoke walked up to me and placed a servo on my shoulder. It felt...strange, but....pleasant.

"Sky, this is Jack, Miko and Raf." He introduced them to me, pointing at each human. They all waved at they're name being called, though the one called Miko seemed a little too excited, waving both hands in the air, like she was on drugs or something!? "Guys this is Skyfrost, she's new to the team, obviously. She's cool." Smoke explained. I waved timidly as they all stared at me, I suddenly felt quite claustrophobic being the centre of attention. Smoke broke down the past few days to them as they all listened.

The rest of the evening I spent with each human, they insisted on getting to know me and stuff like that, NOT my idea!

It started of with Miko, gosh how I wished I was one with the AllSpark at that point, that kid does NOT SHUT UP!! She started off telling me about how she watched this monster truck show with her guardian Bulkhead. She made me watch some.....it was HORRIFYING!! Blood sport! I am never ever going to sleep again after watching that! Then we walked into the main room and Miko plugged all these cords into this big black box. She grabbed this weird shaped thing, strapped it over her shoulder and swung her hand in the air strumming the strings. A loud piercing sound rang through the base. My servos rapidly went up to my audio receptors. "That. Was. Lovely." I said.

Then it was the small ones turn to introduce himself. We went into my berthroom, he sat on my berth as did I. Then he pulled out his laptop, "You uh, like computers?" I asked trying to start conversation. "Yeh they occupy my time most of the time." He said rubbing the back of his neck as if he was embarrassed. "That's cool, nothing to be embarrassed about." I assured him. That seemed to catch his attention. "Do you like computers as well?" He asked. "When I was surviving on my own it became vital that I knew how to use a computer and send and receive messages. They became a hobby." I explained to him while leaning back on the wall. "Its cool to have another friend who enjoys computers as much as I do." He said with a smile. We spent the rest of the time exchanging codes and algorithms. I downloaded some cool new Cybertronian tech onto his laptop, only some of which was compatible with Earths basic technology. He kept talking about math and stuff, honestly I can only take so much mumbo jumbo mathematical crap.

We were finally done, we headed back to the main room and Raf walked up the stairs to join Miko and Jack on the couch. Smoke saw me and my tired optics and slouchy posture. "Heh having fun?" he asked playfully while leaning against the wall, arms crossed with a smirk. I shot him a death glare, "Don't." I simply said, a smile crept onto my faceplate, nothing I do could've stopped it. "Hahaha, alrighty then." He said putting both his hands up in a show of innocence and walked off to his berthroom. "C'mon pipsqueak, your turn." I said before handing out my servo for him to jump on. He hopped on and we went back to my berthroom.

"So can I call you Frost?" he asked. "Yes, yes you may." I replied tiredly. We reached my berthroom and I flopped onto my berth with Jack next to me. "So what's special about you. She plays out of tune music and watches blood sport. He types on computers and solves algorithms. What do you do?" I asked, wanting to get this over and done with. "Um well nothing special really." He replied quietly. Despite the fact that he had nothing out of the ordinary to show me, this one intrigued me and I have no idea why. "Well, do you have any siblings?" I questioned. "Nope, single child." he said, half-proud. "You?" My expression turned sad and he noticed. "What's wrong?" he asked worried. "Nothing. I just, I had a sibling, an older brother, he died. I am unaware of the cause of his death though." I explained painfully. Jack placed a hand on one of my digits trying to comfort me...it kinda helped. He smiled at me, I smiled back. "Well, it's getting late you better get back to the others. I'm sure Arcee and the rest of the team should be back soon." I said. He nodded I carried him back to the main room with Jack in my hand.

When I let Jack reunite with his other human friends Smokescreen reappeared. "Ugh is it over?" I asked desperately. "Oh, no, there's another girl, she's friends with Miko. She also watches that monster truck show. And does some other extravagant things I'm sure she can't wait to show you." He answered. "Oh NO! No! please no more blood sport!! Ughhhh FINE! What's her name?" I asked. "Hah her name's 'aren't-you-lucky-I'm-just-joking'" he explained, arms cross. "Huh?! That's a weird na- WAIT!? You're joking?! OH THANK THE ALLSPARK!!" I yelled while hugging him without a second thought. I heard Smoke chuckle before my processor clicked and I realised what I was doing. "Oh scrap! Sorry sorry sorry!" I quickly said as I jumped back. "Hahaha that's ok." he said before a flashing a smile. I returned a warm smile.

"Hey, Sky? Do you have a ground vehicle mode?" Smokescreen randomly asked me. "Uh no as a matter of fact I don't, I have a flight mode." I replied back. 'Scrap! Did I just blow my cover?' I thought to myself mentally scolding myself . "Oh well that's cool, but we Autobots are meant to blend in, sooo wanna go get a vehicle mode?" "Now?" I asked. "Now." I nodded and we walked out of base.

"Follow me I know where to go." He explained. He transformed into his white sports car and sped off. I quickly transformed into my f-16 fighter jet and flew after him. We flew and drove for a while until meeting a highway. He went back to his bi-pedal mode as did I. "Here, we'll stay here for a while and if there's a car you like scan it, if not, we'll keep looking." He explained, like there was nothing to it. "Well unless Jaspers car range is wide, we may be here for a little while I am very picky when it comes to my mode of transportation." He just laughed at me and we both laid down watching the cars.

After hours of watching trucks and rusty cars and motorcycles drive by, Smoke had fallen asleep. I kept looking. Then it came, my alternate mode! I quickly scanned it and transformed, Smoke was still asleep, I revved my engine and he jumped. "Haha! You found one!" He said joyfully. "Yup! It was worth the wait." I said proud with my choice. He kept admiring my form, my dark purple coat over my Lamborghini Huracan build. 'Knockout would be so proud!'

We drove back after I got my alternate mode, I must admit, driving is a good feeling, though I don't think I'd trade it for flying. Feeling the cool breeze as I fly though the sky still takes the cake!

Once we reached inside base we were only greeted with the sound of the ground bridge suddenly opening, only for us to find Optimus walk through along with Bulkhead, both possessing scratches and wounds. Bumblebee followed behind, carrying a weak and injured Arcee. "Arcee!" I heard Jack cry from across the room. He placed his hand in hers. "There are other motorcycles out there, Jack." She managed to say. "But you're my first." He replied back with a sad smile.

Arcee was placed on the med-berth for scans and healing. Optimus explained everything that had happened and all four Autobots kept busy with fixing themselves up. Smoke and I helped out where we could, mainly assisting Ratchet with Arcee.

"Bulk, when are we goin home?" Miko asked with a yawn. "Optimus can we take the kids home now?" He asked his leader. "Yes you may," He glanced to Arcee, "Skyfrost I heard that while we were out you gained a ground mode?"

"Yes sir."

"Could you please take Jack home?" He asked softly.

"Of course sir." I transformed to my new shiny vehicular mode, everyone admiring my choice, even the humans.

"AWESOME!!" Jack called as he ran down the stairs to my open door.

"No fair!!" Miko yelled out.

We all drove out of the base. I took Jack home, his house wasn't too far from the base.

"Bye Frost! I'll see you soon!" He called before leaving my seat. "Bye." He shut the door gently. I stayed until he got inside his house, then drove off.
