Forever Alone: Transformers Prime

Chapter XXI

Julie sat on the roof waiting for the others as the autobots were forced to come up one at a time, due to the size of their elevator. It didn't take long for the kids to catch up to them. She had a small amount of water in her hands as she waited, a small smirk on her face as she saw the kids very curious about what she was up to.

"What are you up to Julie?" Optimus asked.

Julie shook her head at the question and sighed. She walked over to the 3 teenagers and smiled. "Have you guys ever wished to fly?"

"What? You're gonna let us?" Miko screamed out. "Yahoo!"

"Are you sure you want to, Julie?" Jack asked.

"I am sure, but there are a few rules for your safety." Julie said. "No dare deviling, specifically meant for Miko. Hold on tightly, I don't care if you have to pull feathers, you need to hold on tight. Lastly, have fun. There is nothing like the feeling of freedom that flight can give."

"What do you mean by feathers?" Miko asked.

Julie brought her pointer finger to her lips and winked. Throwing the small amount of water up into the air, she allowed the water to grow in size from what was a little bit, to a ton. Pillars of still ice formed around the roof along with hopes that were in the air. When the kids looked at where Julie was, she was gone and replaced with a giant bird. Golden feathers that glowed like flames. She landed in front of the kids and the autobots. A croak escaped from her beak as she looked at the kids.

"Omg, she looks like a phoenix." Miko screamed in excitement.

"Are you sure you can handle the safety of this, Julie?" Optimus asked, unsure about the idea. The bird turned and stared at Optimus for a moment before turning back to the kids. The bird picked up the kids one at a time by the back of their shirts before placing them on her back. First picking up Raf, then Miko. Lastly picking up Jack who looked unsure at first, but went ahead with it. Julie looked behind her on her back, making sure that the kids held on tightly. All three of them had huge handfuls of feathers in their grip, but Julie couldn't help but croak at the big smiles that Miko and Raf had on their faces. "I have always wanted to fly." Miko cried out. Julie walked over toward the edge of the roof, looking back at the autobots that were watching. Arcee and Bumblebee had unreadable expressions on their faces, while Bulkhead looked like he was staring down Miko. Ratchet seemed to be very questionable of the action, with his arms crossed over his chassis. "If you hurt the kids, I will personally clip your wings Julie." Ratchet cried out. Leaning forward over the cliff, she fell off with her wings catching the air as she dived. She could hear the kids screaming on her back as she started to approach the ground at such a quick pace. Before she hit the ground, she caught the air sending her right back up above the roof and mountain. Flapping her wings in the process.

"Yahoo!" Miko cried, suddenly letting go of the feathers to stretch her wings out as they were flying above the autobots.

"Miko, she said to hold on." Raf cried.

"I am fine. How can you not want to stretch your own arms out?" Miko replied.

"She might just stop right now because of you." Raf replied. "Or never do this with us again."

Julie croaked in agreement to Raf's comment. Immediately Miko grabbed handfuls of feathers again. Julie was hovering in place above the obstacle course that she had formed above the mountain.

"What are you doing, Julie?" Jack asked. Julie merely croaked back in response, before she dove through some of the nearby hoops. She dove through hops, feeling the thrill of the air around her. She could hear the kids shouting out in joy. She flew through 3 of the hoops already and was approaching the pillars that were around the roof, among the autobots. Smirking, she dodged and weaved among the pillars, before flying back up into the air doing swoops and backflips in the air. She flew up about 50 feet above the roof to where the hoops and the pillars ceased their shape. The water flying up, causing a wide pathway of a slide up to her. She hovered and looked over to the kids on her back. She grabbed hold of the back of Jack's shirt and he got the message to let go of her feathers as she held him, but at the last second let him go on the slide. She watched as he slid down very fast towards the rooftop where the slide ended in front of Arcee's chassis.
