⁰⁶ her humble abode

Aria gave the Autobots the tour of her house, and let's say they were impressed where she lived. The energetic bunch of the Autobots enjoyed exploring the house as they had never been inside a human house, they were slowly learning about human life and activities. Optimus and the others were silently admiring her luxurious home but felt a little bit intimidated by the young adult leading them, thinking how much money her family has.

Aria and her older brother were never raised to be snobby, spoiled kids which they respected and never taunted their wealth to others.

Besides the few cases where her brother threatened a couple of corrupted companies with his influential wealth and title, Aria shivers when she remembers her brother's cruel, poker face to snobby or rude people.

Giving the Autobots the tour of her house was a memorable experience in her mind. She had to drag Sideswipe, Jazz and Bumblebee away from the indoor pool as they wanted to swim. Helping the poor girl, Sunstreaker grabbed his twin as he dragged him away from the water, Bumblebee was sternly talked to by Optimus about respecting Aria's home which Bumblebee understood as Jazz got hit in the back of his helm by Ironhide which he was about to protest when he squeaks when Ratchet was holding his wrench, making a threatening motion to him.

After showing them the indoor pool, she led them to a heavy metal door which she pushed and flicked on the light. Inside was an indoor gym where there was a boxing ring in the middle and there was fitness equipment scattered across the room. Her brother mostly used the gym here as she used it often, she noticed most of the Autobots were happy about this room which made her glad that they were happy. She had to tell everyone to continue on the tour but she saw Ironhide a little bit hesitant to leave as she reminded him that he could use the room after the tour when he joined the others.

Optimus' favorite room so far was the library as his optics twinkled at the sight of the many books hanging on the shelves, begging to be read. She smiles at Optimus happiness in his eyes as she sees Jazz delicately touching the white piano in the center. She was glad that the Autobots were getting comfy in her home as she led them to the doors where it led to the outside.

" This is the backyard and the outdoor pool. '' She opened the door as the Autobots gasped over the vibrant land in front of them. There were a variety of white flowers strewn, lush trees giving shade to some areas. The backyard was beautiful but they noticed the area where it looked like a meteorite impact which luckily was further down away from the mansion where people couldn't see it. Though the Autobots did feel guilty for destroying her backyard though she reassured them that it was fine.

Next to the backyard was the lake, the lake was a teardrop-silver in colour as it shimmered from the afternoon sun. The smooth, oval rocks lined the bank of the waters as the walls of the trees surrounding the waters. She breathed in the fresh air as she listened to the waves bobbing along the shoreline as the Autobots listen to the waters as they felt calm from the tranquil moment. " It's very beautiful" Ratchet said as she hummed to agree.

They walked inside and followed her to another room. " This is where I do my artworks here, sorry if it's a bit messy" Sunstreaker slightly beams at the mentions of artworks since he loves doing any form of art. She leads inside as Sunstreaker observes the portraits she has done as the rest were impressed and amazed by her art. She couldn't help but blush embarrassed as they complimented her artwork, especially Sunstreaker as he talks about the techniques and materials that she used for one of her portraits that she is currently painting.

They walked out of the studio as Sideswipe complimented how awesome her home was while Sun Hee giggled at his bright energy as she closed the door. " My parents wanted me and my brother wanted to be comfortable, " she explained.

" If I may ask, what happened to your sire and carrier?" Aria guessed that Ratchet was referring to her parents. She looked down, staring at the door handle, as she became silent as the room dropped a few temperatures from the disheartening atmosphere. Ratchet noticed her mood and knew something happened to them which he apologized but Sun Hee sent him a weak smile.

" It's fine, Ratchet. My parents were killed in a car accident. My uncle took care of us until we were old enough to move to California. It's been me and my brother ever since" She saw all the sadness and shock in their optics.

" Aria..." Optimus spoke first in the somber silence. " I'm sorry for your loss. That must've been hard for the both of you". As everyone gave her a pitying look knowing all of them experienced death and loss during the war. Sideswipe and Bumblebee couldn't take it any longer as they bolted towards her and gave her a bear hug which she almost fell but Jazz caught her.

" Don't be sad, sweet spark. We are here for you" Sideswipe said as Bumblebee chirps to agree. Aria couldn't help but smile at their sweet gesture, she pats each of their back struts. When her parents died, she only had her brother to comfort her but it still was too painful from their death.

The Autobots comforting her somehow made her loneliness disappear as a strand of a tear rolled down her cheeks, not from sadness but relief which Sunstreaker wiped her tear and gave her a gentle smile which she returned. Optimus and the others slightly smiled at the heartwarming scene in front of them.

Jazz heard something as he peeked through the windows and saw a black car driving in.

" Um Aria, did you expect someone to come today?" Jazz asked, her eyes widened as she scrambled to the window and found the all too familiar Roll Royce Phantom in the driveway.

"You guys need to hide!" She frantically looked around and saw her room there. She managed to shove everyone into her bedroom, despite some grumbling protests from particular bots.

She tried to calm herself and to look natural as if nothing happened. Aria walks downstairs to see her personal chauffeur plus bodyguard, standing at the entrance with Shiba Inu sitting beside him.

" Hey Shaun, what's up?" He greets the young mistress. " Afternoon Miss Kim, just dropping Waffles off from the vet." he explains as the Shiba Inu barked happily at its owner, Aria bents down and ruffles the dog's face and gave light kisses on top of his head as Waffles enjoys the attention from his owner.

Both heard muffling noise upstairs which Aria flinched as Shaun suspiciously raised his eyebrows upstairs as Waffles barked towards the ceiling. " Excuse me miss Kim, may I check upstairs? '' He walks upstairs before she could say anything as she scrambles to try to stop him. '' Of course Shaun but may I ask why?" she asked loudly, trying to give the Autobots a hint to hide. She watches him opening the door one by one, taking quick peaks inside the rooms. He reaches her bedroom and her breath hitched as she could feel the cold beads of sweat as he opens her door.

They both looked inside where she saw her casement window frames, banging against the wall from the breeze which she let out a breath of relief. " I must've forgotten to close the window" she nervously chuckled as she closed it, she saw a pede sticking out from the curtain and her eyes widened. She quickly used her foot to cover the pedes with the long curtains when Shaun was distracted checking out the place, she prayed that he wouldn't investigate her whole room. Luckily, he was a polite man who never looked properly around a lady's room without permission.

" Sorry about that miss, there've been recent activities of burglary from the neighborhoods nearby the estate" he explained while Aria inwardly sighed a breath of relief that he hadn't found the Autobots yet.

" Would you like the maids to attend the house? I can..." Aria panicked as she thought of the maids discovering the Autobots. " No! I mean I would like some time by myself since I need to concentrate on my artworks" she lied, though he looked semi convinced although his eyes said otherwise but he respected her decision. Aria thought she closed the door however Waffles used his snout to push the door as he sniffed around for the extraterrestrial strangers.

Earlier while she was downstairs, the bots were either looking around her room or sitting on her bed, waiting patiently for Aria to return. Ironhide was boredly looking around until he saw a picture frame of Aria's younger self with a brunette girl and a tired-looking boy in a group shot. The young brunette grinned widely, wearing bunny ears while the guy had a deadpan look wearing a moving ear bear hat but he wore a slight, amused smirk as Aria had a simple, sweet smile as she wore a giant, pink bow but could easily tell that she was happy.

Seemed like nearly everyone was looking at the photo, seeing her smile made them smile as well. The sweet moment was ruined when they heard a couple of foot stairs heading upstairs and Aria talking loudly to Shaun which gave them hints for them to hide. Optimus, Ratchet, and Ironhide hid in the walk-in closet while the rest panically scrambled around not knowing where they hid, looking for a hiding place which ended up with Bumblebee hiding behind the curtains. The twins hid underneath the bed which Jazz hides behind the door, Shaun opens the door oblivious to almost smashing Jazz's faceplate.

Bumblebee panics when one of his pedes were out in the open but Aria quickly covers his pedes with the long curtains as he sighs in relief. After a while, they left the room as Bumblebee slowly got out of his hiding spot, the same as the other but unaware of the red, fluffy dog staring at them. Waffles pounce on top of Ironhide as he topples to the ground as the energetic dog licks Ironhide's faceplate. Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, and Jazz couldn't contain their laughter as they leaned on each other, laughing as Ironhide curses in cybertronian while Optimus covered Bumblebee's audio receptors, trying to keep his innocent mind.

Ratchet looked mildly amused by the humorous situation but wouldn't dare say it out loud as Aria once again blinked at the chaotic environment in her room. She just managed to convince Shaun to leave as he hops in the car he notices the holes in the distance which he looks at the young girl but she acts like she doesn't see them which makes him suspicious, he would have to call the young master to report what he had seen.

Aria slumps against the front door, relief that he was gone only to hear crashing upstairs along with shouting and laughter. She goes to her room to find her dog Waffles licking Ironhide faceplate as the poor mech was screaming profanities and threats of turning Waffles into a fur rug. She looks at the mischievous bots laughing at the poor weapon specialist as she raises her brows at Optimus covering Bumblebee's audio receptors. She wondered if this chaoticness would happen every day as she sweatdrops at the thought that she would need a lot of energy and perseverance to take care of the Autobots.
