(Starfrost's POV)

"Borrrrinnnng!"
I complained. Since I chose to stay behind on Earth to keep it safe 24/7, I've had to patrol. For years!! Who knows, maybe even decades!!! Not exactly a game of Jenga.

THUNK!!

Tree branch to the face. Spitting out leaves, I growl with frustration dripping from my tone as I shoved the branch away.

"Branches to the face never happened to me on Cybertron.... Then again, plants aren't exactly on Cybertron."
I mumble to myself. I sighed. While I do enjoy Earth and the humans, I miss Cybertron.

"Aaand, I'm stranded on Earth with four teenagers..."
That..... That voice.... It can't be. I brushed aside some leaves to see--

"Bee?!"
I exclaimed. I couldn't believe it!! Bumblebee!! Bee turns to face me with a look of surprise.

"And an old friend."
He smiled. I grin, bolting towards him and nearly knocking him down in a hug.

"I can't believe your here!!"
I broke the hug.

"What're you doing here on Earth? Special mission?"
I asked.

"Yeah. From Optimus. He sent me on what was supposed to be a solo mission. But four teens followed me."
Bee explained. I chuckled.

"Is that what you meant by 'stranded on Earth with four teenagers' earlier?"

"Maybe."

"Well now you're stranded on Earth with four teenagers and a scout."
I snickered. Bee rolled his optics.

"Oh, ha ha. Very funny."

"So who are the four bots that followed you?"

"Cadets Strongarm and Ashflare and two troublemakers named Sideswipe and Joybuzz."

"'Troublemakers'? This is coming from the bot who would make trouble himself!"

"Not since I became a lieutenant."

"Say what?! You're a lieutenant?! Da slag?!"
I gaped. Bee chuckled.

"Yes. So how about you?"
Bee crosses his servos. I start pondering.

"Hm... You remember Yuji Madison's sister, Yuji Jasmine?"

"Yeah. What about her?"

"Welll, she married her boyfriend, Toshio Henry and had a daughter named Toshio Madison."

"So now there's two Madison's?"

"Basically. And they both act exactly the same! It's creepy and cool at the same time."

"It seems like there's always a Madison in their family."

"Yeah, it's strange. I think it's cause the name Madison has some sort of significance(?)"
My statement sounded more like a question. We both softly laughed so no humans that might be nearby wouldn't hear us. Hang on, let me say something..... THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Maddie's POV)

Russell and I have been walking in complete awkward silence. Mostly cause I've been lost in thought for so long.

"So........"

"So........ This is awkward...... Weird, it usually isn't over phone..."
I chuckled nervously. Russell nodded in agreement.

"No kidding. We're usually so chill."

"I think it's cause if one of us said something weird or awkward we could just hang up."

"Y'know I think you're right."
We laughed. Of course, I wasn't paying enough attention and I slammed into a tree.

"Do trees hate me or something?!"
I snapped as I threw my hands up. Russell looks at me confusingly.

"Ran into one last night....."

"Actually, Mother Nature in general, probably."
Russell teased. I chuckled. Then I noticed him looking at a carving in the tree I crashed into.

"Rusty and Denny were here, and had a blast and 1/2...."
He read aloud.

"Wish I could say the same now..."
That sentence made me frown. We kept moving, awkward silence returning to haunt us. As I lose myself in my thoughts, I didn't notice where we wandered to until Russell starts snapping his fingers in my face.

"Check it out!"
Russell smiles. I take one look and I felt like I was gonna pass out. We're at the quarry!!!

"Uh, wha? A quarry?"
Oh please buy it, Russell!!

"Yeah! Let's look around."
Russell suggests, already on the move. I gulp down the lump of fear in my throat and follow. Starfrost wasn't around, so that's good. That's when I heard loud, metallic footprints. Starfrost is back from patrol already?!?!

"Are you okay, Maddie?"
Russell asks.

"Yeah, why?"

"Cause you're sweating bullets."
I felt the beads of sweat rolling down the sides of my head. We peeked past the giant boulder and see two-- NOPE NOPE NOPE NOT STARFROST NOT STARFROST!!!

"AHH!!!!!"
The four of us screamed at each other.

"MORE THAN ONE?!?!"
I blurted out, clasping my hands over my mouth.

"What?! 'More than one?!' You know about this?!"
Russell repeated. The Autobot in front of us was bright red, his helm shaped like he had bangs sweeping up. The other was lime green, her own helm looked like she had spring green hair with bangs that hid her forehead and some of her helm hiding her jawline slightly.

"What the scrap are you?!"
The red bot exclaimed.

"This planet is seriously jacked up!!"
The lime green bot cocked her hip out to the side and placed her hands on them.

"Excuse you, but my name is Madison and this is Russell."
I countered as I tried to keep my cool.

"Sideswipe."
The red bot simply replied.

"Joybuzz."
The lime green bot said. Even bigger footsteps got closer.

"You two hide!"
Sideswipe commanded. Russell and I didn't hesitate to duck behind the boulder we were standing next to. My pupils shrunk when I saw a giant Decepticon that looked like a bulldog with a massive underbite.

"By the Allspark....."
I mumbled.
