Prodigious Awakening | A Transformer Fanfiction

Chapter 3

I woke up to the same noisy alarm. I turned it off and sat down. I looked around the room and see Optimus in his computer doing something, before looking at me. "Good morning, Sage". "Morning, Optimus" I replied. I got off the bed and walked towards him. He was writing some sort of Diary. In cybertronian. Well... Perhaps I might have added a few memories of it. Ah now I forgot to write my diary. I'll finish it later.

"Writing a diary?" I asked him. "If that's what you call it. It's just a little habit of mine back on Cybertron" Optimus said. He actually felt real... "Same. Been too excited to remember though lately" I said with a chuckle. I heard him chuckle a little too. He rarely does that! Only when he's truly happy or something.

"Hey, Optimus. Since it's early, I'm gonna pop to the kitchen and make some breakfast. Mind waiting here?" I asked him. He gives a simple nod. I smiled before going to the kitchen to cook something. Nothing much, just a homemade korean toast. I walked back to my room and sat down on the bed and started eating. Optimus was finishing his diary before saving it. I smiled watching him and grabbed my own diary, which had a transformers logo on it, and one of Optimus's quotes in the back cover.

I opened it and started writing everything that happened in the last two days. I felt Optimus watching me, but I didn't mind and continued on writing.

When I was done, I put it on the table and went to put my plate in the back before going to the bathroom to take a quick shower, before going back to the room. "I'm going to university. But this will be my last day" I told him. "Be safe" Optimus said. I nodded and grabbed my bag before giving a goodbye wave and left.

Long and boring day again, but atleast night is still calling to me. I went home slightly earlier today, at 4:00. I arrived home and as usual, quickly went to my room. "Optimus?" I called and put my bag down. "Welcome home, Sage" He replied. He seemed to be practicing fighting with the weapons and tools in the garage. I chuckled and looked at my glass box where there was my Taekwondo, Kung Fu, and Karate black belts, and my Kendo swords. I trained since I was 7. I don't do it much any more, but I'd sometimes go to the forest or the park to do that.

"Hey, Optimus. Want to go for a drive?" I asked. "If you wish" He replied. "Nowhere far, just to the beach to see the sunset. No one goes there in winter" I told him. He nodded and transformed. I smiled and walked over to him. I opened the semi's doors and got in. The seat was really comfortable and he was turning on the heater. I opened the garage door through my wristband and Optimus drove out. I closed it again once we were out before Optimus hit the road.

I sent him the location of the beach and he follows the map. The road was quiet and not that lively. Which was good, because Optimus would catch a lot of attention. Good thing I tinted the windows. But even though, there are still a few cars on the road and people on the sidewalk. Which not surprisingly, we earned a few points, stares, and pictures.

But we managed to get away into the quiet free road towards the Niles beach. The trees on the side, some had no leaves and some were just covered in snow. But the road was clear of snow. Optimus drove slowly and with the windows open, the cool winter breeze blew through the window. The beautiful sky was still bright, but the sun was seen near the horizon.

We made it to the beach and I hopped off. The beach was empty. No one around. I motioned Optimus to transform. He did so. I walked to the edge of the beach and sat down. Optimus followed and did the same. The sun was now setting really near the horizon. Colours started to splash the sky. There was purple, pink, blue, red, orange, white colours mixing in the sky. The beautiful winter sunset...

We didn't say anything as we watch the sun set, but it was a comfortable silence. The sky was turning to night and the stars started sparkling. There wasn't much visible since we're near the city, but I can't wait until we're back in Texas. My house is in the country side and the night sky in winter there was beautiful. And luckily, my family knows about this project, so I won't need to hide him from them. Although, my grandparents will be visiting too, so I might have some explaining to do.

A few of the constellations we're visible. Saggitaurus and Capricorn. And a few others that weren't a zodiac sign. "It's beautiful isn't it?" I asked him. "It sure is" He replied. Optimus was hummed and said "The memories you made are interesting". "Uh- how do you know which memories were real and not?" I asked him. "I don't know" He shrugged. I smiled. "Later in April the Orion and Aries constellation will be visible" I told him. "Are you born in April?" He asked. I nodded. "I guess in cybertronian time, I was too, created in April" He said. Woah... I did not add that in him. Where did he get all this from? It's like he has Optimus's real spark and he has mysteries I don't know. Cool!

Optimus's servo was next to me, and I leaned on it. Optimus was surprised for a second, before relaxing back again. We chatted as we gazed up the stars for the next hour. My phone rang a couple of times but I didn't mind to check it. We watched the stars until it was about 8:00 PM and it was getting cold.

Optimus transformed into his semi and I got in. He heated up the cab and tightened the seat belts comfortably as we drove home...
