TRANSFORMERS: The Beginning

The Cop and The Brian

Tranquility, Nevada
2007

It was early in the morning when Matsuri was shaken awake by Ron, who had an annoyed look on his face. She gave him a tired, questioning look.

"Sam got himself arrested." He told her, irritation clear in his voice. "I need you to house sit while I go get him."

"Can't Judy house sit?"

"You know how she is when she gets woken up too early."

Matsuri lets out a sigh before sitting up. She watched as Ron walked out of the room before slipping on her bandanna that had fallen off during her sleep and slipping on her jacket and gloves. She heard the front door open and closing. She walked down the stairs with a yawn before sitting down on the couch. Mojo, the lovely rodent with ears as she liked to call him, jumped up on the couch and curled up on her lap.

A few hours passed when finally, Ron and Sam walked through the front door. Mojo jumped up with a bark and trotted over to Sam, who scooped him up and scratched him behind the ears.

He gave Matsuri a small wave before heading up the stairs and to his room. She lets out a sigh before standing and looking over at Ron.

"I need to go on my morning run." She told him.

"At seven in the morning?"

"I always do remember?"

"Well, I really wish you wouldn't go out this early... but alright."

Matsuri slips on her shoes before walking out the door and started to jog down the sidewalk. She inhaled, enjoying the scent of the chilly morning air. She could feel the sun rays peeking down at her, warming her exposed skin. She loved being in the early morning sun. It wasn't too hot but it did warm her up.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a police car sitting at the curb on the other side of the road. The window was down and saw could see a man sitting in the car, watching her through his sunglasses. He was nicely tan with a mustache covering his upper lip and neatly cut dark brown hair. He took off his sunglasses and Matsuri felt her heart stop.

Red eyes stared right at her, watching her every movement as she jogged. She had seen those eyes before, in a dream, but they belonged to a mechanical being, not a man.

She quickly picked up the pace, hoping to get out of the cop's sight. She turned the corner and once she saw that he wasn't following, let out a sigh of relief. She got to a McDonalds, her favorite fast food place, though she had no money so she couldn't really buy anything, even when her stomach let out a growl.

"Need any help paying?" asked a young voice behind her. She looked and saw a boy her age, maybe a little older than her. He was slightly pale and had blonde hair that reached his shoulders and bright blue eyes that held a friendliness to them. He wore a yellow shirt with a black jacket, jeans and yellow and black sneakers.

"I'm Brian, but everyone calls me Bee." He introduced himself cheerfully before holding out his hand.

"Uh...Matsuri..." She took and shook his hand.

"So, need help paying?"

"No, I'm fine. I wasn't going to get anything any-" she got interrupted by her stomach growling loudly, making Bee chuckle.

"Come on." he stated as he walked in and he followed after him. She quickly told him what she wanted and within a few minutes, she was sitting down, scarfing her food while Bee sat across from her, an amused look on his face.

"You sure that two double cheeseburgers and a large fry will be enough?" he teased.

"Oh shut up." she huffed before finishing off her lest double and quickly ate the fries. Once she was done, they stood and walked out side. She glances over to the side and saw a familiar camaro sitting there, parked.

"Well, I should get going. It was nice meeting you Mats." Bee grinned as he said Matsuri's new nickname.

"You too Bee." She waved before turning and starting to walk away. She quickly glanced back and saw Bee disappearing in thin air before the camaro started up and drove away. She shook her head and continued to walk.

Something was going on, something that she was going to be apart of, she could just feel it.
