     Day two passed by fairly quickly. Both females were searching for what exactly happened while Jesse was gone. The News was filled with terrorist attack headlines like:

The Rival to 9/11

or 

Who did it: The Russians?

     Neither believed the incident rivaled 9/11, passing by the less credible News sources claiming it was aliens. The robotic mechanoids from China didn't sound too farfetched but transforming robotic mechanoids? That seemed too futuristic. Marissa was glad her sister wasn't at home, or even at her salon when it happened. Jesse was the most bullheaded of their trio, and she would have left the minute she caught sight of her area being bombed and destroyed to save her own stuff. She didn't keep any animals so there wasn't much to mourn about except some mementos and other such superficial things, but her paperwork (which somehow survived) was pretty important.

     Other than research, the two went shopping. Jesse swore she would find the cutest skirt possible for her baby sister. Marissa didn't much care for the apparent quest but she liked the attention she didn't receive as much anymore. Being dressed up like a doll ended the day she moved into the attic. She missed the excited compliments and claps as she twirled in a cute outfit or new shoes but growing up sucks sometimes and no one cares to compliment new shoes whether they light up or not.

     In the end Marissa found a dark plaid skirt with pleats, deciding it was simple yet cute enough to buy. Jesse wasn't done shopping for her yet and was able to find an AC/DC shirt that was exactly like their father's (the one Marissa had stolen), only in her size. She found cute flats and a black scrunchie for her sister's hair, demanding that she try them on before they buy it. The dressed-up woman received a thoughtful expression when she exited the changing room.

         "It's missing something." Jesse hummed, and Marissa mimicked the expression, looking down at herself.

         "Ah-ha!" Marissa was startled by the snap of her sister's quick fingers. "A Jeans jacket!"

         "Too stiff when it's brand new." Marissa shook her head. "I think a pair of leggings would be better."

         "What's wrong with showing off your legs?" Came the argument. "You're a farm girl with a farm girl's tan! You work in the garden and fields in a bathing suit when it's hot out. Come on, humor me for once."

     Marissa was only glad the skirt she found reached her knees.

          "I can't believe he's gone." Sam Witwicky marveled as he watched the footage of Megatron's body being plunged into the deep seas of Earth. He wasn't sure how many times he had watched it, but it felt as fake as any old Sci-Fi movie with crappy special effects might.
