I watch as Sam practically throws himself out of Bumblebee, "I need you to stay here, all right? You got to stay here and you're gonna watch them." He urges Mikaela. "Okay, okay." She nods. "All of them. Do you hear what I'm saying?" he continues to ramble, nearly turning red. "Yeah, okay, okay." She continues to answer, "Five minutes, all right?" He points. "Jesus Fuck! GO!" I screech at him, pointing aggressively at the house we're all in front of.

He starts to sprint and as soon as he's out of sight all the bots transform into their biggerselves, "Oh Fuck." I whisper jumping out of Bumblebee. "Hey! No! Nu-uh!" I whisper yell waving my arms to catch their attention. "Bumblebee! Do something!" I hiss back at him. Bumblebee quickly shifts forms and goes after Optimus, but it appears to only make the situation worse.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? No, watch the path! Watch the path! Watch the- please, please, please. No, no, wait. No, no, no! Oh, no!" Sam's voice is heard panicking as Optimus steps on a fountain, "Oh- oops. Sorry. My bad." The robot apologizes. "Oh, I- you couldn't- You couldn't wait for five- you couldn't wait for five minutes? I told you to stay! Just stay! God!" The boy continues to ramble now a bright red as the blood rushes to his head.

"I told you to watch them. I told you." Sam turns to Mikaela, "Okay, you know what? They seem to be in a little bit of a rush." She huffs. I let out a sigh and turn away from the couple, only to find a small dog peeing on Ironhide. "Son of a bitch." I snap, "Oh, this is bad. No! Mojo, Mojo! Off the robot! God!" Sam panics running over and snatching up the dog. "Nnh, wet." The iron colored robot gruffs, forming a blaster and pointing it at the dog there for pointing it at Sam.

"No no no no no no! Easy! Easy! Hold on! Hold! This is Mojo. This is Mojo. He's a pet of mine. He's a pet. Okay? That's all." Sam calls hurriedly, hugging the dog to his chest. Ironhide grunts, "If you could just put the guns away... Put the- put them away. Please." Sam begs. "You have a rodent infestation." He point out and it takes all I have not to laugh, "A what?" Sam gasps, "Shall I terminate?" Ironhide questions. "No no no no. He's not a rodent, he's a chihuahua. This is my- this is my chihuahua. We love chihuahuas! Don't we?" Sam grovels for the life of his little rat-like dog.

"He's leaked lubricants all over my foot. Hnnh." Ironhide grunts, "He peed on you? Bad Mojo. Bad Mojo!" Sam gasps like he didn't know. "Bad Mojo." Ironhide echos, "I'm sorry. He's got a male dominance thing. That's all it is." Sam excuses as he inches away, "Hhh. My foot's gonna rust." The robot grumbles but finally lets it go. "All right. Whoa- ah. Okay, okay. Shut up and go hide!" Sam huffs out waving at the robots, "Just hurry." Optimus urges.

Sam runs into the house and I watch as the rest of the bots wonder about, "For Aliens that remained hidden for so long you sure don't know how to hide." I gruff. I hear Optimus sigh before leaning down and lifting up a panicking Mikaela and pushing her to a window. "Don't even think about it." I point up to the red and blue robot who then turns to me. "Get into Car mode! All of you!" I huff finally having enough. Sure enough they all turned back into cars.

I look around and sigh at the yard full of cars, Optimus sees Sam at the window and quickly shifts back to meet him. "Don't even think about it!" I call pointing to the rest. Sam and Optimus chat quickly, Sam freaking out and Optimus trying to hurry him along. "Alright autobots... and human girl. Fall back." He calls to us. I throw my hands up in the air as they all change into giant robots to fall back. My eyes blow wide when Ratchet catches the powerline and trips. I yelp at the rumble that follows his fall. I feel my blood pressure rise at Ratchets lack of care. Then the power goes out in the entire neighborhood.

"Ratchet point a light." Optimus orders, Ratchet practically lights up the whole house with a high beam. "Absolutely No!" I finally snap, "Turn it off! Right Now!" I ordered. I can hear Sam shushing them to hide, "GO!" I scream, the robots finally heed my words and hide. Bumblebee snatching me up and squeezing under the patio. I hear Sam's dad grumble and point a light into the yard. I wait for the light to disappear before I peek out to see he's gone. Ironhide goes on to grumble about the annoyance of Sam's parents, its only when I hear him offer to 'terminate them' does my patience finally break. I storm out into the yard where they could all see me, "EVERYONE TO THE STREET!" I scream, uncaring if anyone heard me at this point. The robots shuffle to the street and transform into their alternate form.

I stomp all the way to bumblebee and jerk open his door. Just as I slide in, I see a line of cars turn at the corner of the street. "Oh shit." I whisper when I notice they're all tinted SUVs. "We gotta go." I urge tapping the dash. "The—Kid." Bumblebee argues. "THAT'S THE ALIEN POLICE! GO!" I screech, Bumblebee hits the gas and we all high tail it down the street. When we're in the clear I jump out of Bumblebee and jump into Optimus. "The glasses—" He starts, "Listen carefully." I cut in. "Those SUVs are Sector Seven. I'm not the only one who tracks your movements okay? You guys aren't that hard to track if you know what to look for. And those guys, its their fucking MISSION to track you." I reason. "They're probably gonna take Sam and his family and we're gonna have to go back for him. I just had to make sure you guys got in the clear." I breathe out. Finally decompressing.

"Understood." Optimus gruffs, I nod wordless as I keep my eyes on Sam's street. It didn't take long for the line of SUVs to move out. "Follow them." I call, and just like that we're in a car chase. We follow them until we get somewhere remote, that's when Optimus changes form with me still inside. I hold my breath and hold as still as possible as I'm suddenly being shifted around moving parts. I eventually find myself in the palm of his hand. "Hold tight." He warns, I do as he tells me and holds onto his metal finger. Optimus snatches a SUV right out of line. His high beams on to confuse them as he lowers me to the ground. With his hand free he rips the top right off the car. I step onto the hood of the car and peer down at the men in black, "Hello boys." I grin.
