Adventure Of A Lifetime (Transformers: Prime x Reader)

A Memory

Knockout POV

It has been three days since Y/n left to go on the mission and knocked me out at the energon mine. Ratchet surprisingly called asking about them, he says they used their own ground-bridge. Soundwave has been quiet after I told him what Y/n did, he must know where they are.

"Soundwave, any news on Y/n?"
" ... "
"They could be in danger, off-lined even"
"Cannot...findtheir...location"
"What, surely they've not gone to some other dimension"
"..."

I leave Soundwave in the surveillance room; I head to the medbay to prepare some items and grab enough energon for at least a month. I look over to Breakdown's body, Stilas fast asleep inside. Memories of our good times together flash in front of me, I take a step back before turning to leave. I use the ground-bridge to bridge outside Jasper, my search for Y/n just beginning.

Y/n POV

San Fransokyo, 10 am

I wake up to Tadashi poking my arm, he must've been calling my name for a while as he sighs and mumbles something. I sit up and look at him.

"You must be hungry"
"I am, it's ten in the morning"
"It is? Where will you go to eat?"
"There is a diner not far from here"
"Do any of your family members go there?"
"Not really, they would all be hanging out at my aunt's café"
"OK, let's go then"

I transform and open the driver's door for Tadashi. He hops in and we drive to the diner. Exiting the docks, I realize Tadashi needs a disguise as many people thinks he is dead.

"You need a disguise"
"I do?"
"The explosion should've killed you when you entered if I wasn't there"
"Good point, got anything?"
"I do"

I open my glovebox, shoved in it are a change of clothes, shoes, a cap and sunglasses. Stored for when someone needed them, Miko I believe. Who is Miko? Another memory I must find.

"These are a bit small, the cap and sunnies are fine though"
"Ok, I think they are there for a Miko"
"Miko? Are you remembering names or places?"
"Names I think"

We arrive at the diner, I park close to the door and let Tadashi out. I check my surroundings and see nothing of a threat to me, unless a group of kids with a crowbar is bad news. Ten minutes pass and Tadashi returns with a cup and bag in his hand, I open my door and he hops in. I notice the group of kids walking towards me, tapping the crowbar on the ground and cars they pass. I drive away from them just as one swings the weapon; they fall to the ground as the other boys laugh.

"Close call"
"Too close, my finish could've been ruined"
"Your finish, where did that come from"
"Don't know"
"Hey, do you think we can drive past my aunt's café?"
"Sure, as long as crowbar kids aren't near there"
"It's safe"

I drive to the Lucky Cat Café, slowing down so Tadashi can look at his friends and brother. Some memories come across my processor, causing me to veer left, Tadashi grabs the wheel to prevent us from driving into an oncoming truck.

"Sorry, some memories returned"
"I should drive, where should we go?"
"Somewhere away from the city, open roads"
"Alright, hang on"
"Tadashi"
"Yeah Y/n"
"Do you think I'll ever be able to return to my world?"
"You never know, might be a while"
"That's what I'm worried about"

Tadashi turns onto a dirt covered sealed road, the city behind us. I hear static in my comms, pieces of voices from people I do not know or remember calling my name. We near some trees, I speed up and transform as I near them. Rolling I catch Tadashi in my servo before stopping at the bottom of a hill. I check my closed servo to find Tadashi a pale color.

"You ok Tadashi?"
"I feel a bit sick, please don't do that again"
"I won't, I heard voices in my helm"
"Memories?"
"No, it was coming from my comms, they were calling out my name"
"They might be looking for you?"
"Could be from where I'm supposed to be"
"What's that sound?"

A whizzing choppy sound can be heard, getting louder as it becomes closer. I spot a helicopter in the distance. I quickly transform and buckle Tadashi in before speeding off.

"Where are we going Y/n?"
"Away from that chopper"
"What chopper?"
"In the air, it almost spotted me"

I drift around some trees and almost lose my grip going through some mud. I see a dirt road ahead and skid to a stop as I see what is on it. Multiple cars lined up, revving their engines, people walking around and talking.

"Cars and people"
"It's a race, I thought only bot fighting was allowed"
"Might not be a legal race"
"We should leave"
"I want to race, it feels like I've done this before"

I turn around and drive through the small pond, the water washes most of the mud off, I turn back to the road and line up with the other racers. I notice my windows getting darker, becoming tinted.

"Woah, now they can't see me"
"Believe so, can you see out?"
"Yes"
"Right, get in the passenger seat"
"Why, am I not driving?"
"No"

Flag bearer waves the flag, signaling the start of the race. I take off, leaving Tadashi sinking into the seat and the cars behind me. I notice markers telling everyone where to go following them I find myself close to a cliff with a sharp turn if you cannot drift, possibly ending your life. I cross the finish line, driving off before anyone questions who I am. Tadashi manages to separate from the seat as I slow down, we both see the sun setting in the distance.

"Got a place we can stay Tadashi?"
"How does an old barn sound?"
"Inviting"
"Turn left and continue driving"
"Righto captain"

Arriving at the barn, Tadashi claims some musty possibly moldy hay as his bed, I lean back on a tractor, my optics dimming as I fall into recharge. I dream of a group of friends, one always getting hurt, one who is obsessed with their finish and the other who care for the red one. I notice that a human is with them, laughing as they are talking about the day's events.

~~Memory Dream~~~

"Did you see that?"
"Sure did Y/n"
"Knockout was so fast"
"You saved my finish Y/n"
"Hey Screamer, did you record it?"
"I'm not some surveillance drone, but yes I did"
"Can I see?"

The winged Cybertronian hands the human a camera, they watch the events of the race dodging trees and drifting around corners. Why do they look so familiar?

"Y/n, time for you to sleep"
"But Breakdown"
"No buts kid, or no off-roading"
"No fair"

The human walks over to a bed sitting on the table they are on; the camera is placed on a smaller table beside the bed. What is this? The human watches as the others bid them goodnight. The red Cybertronian places a blanket on the human before leaving, the lights being turned off. Is this me?

~~~Dream End~~~

I wake, energon tears falling onto the ground. I look over to find Tadashi snoring, a window indicating it is around midnight. I lay on the hay covered ground and fall back into recharge.
