Prodigious Awakening | A Transformer Fanfiction

Chapter 4

We arrived back home. I opened the garage door and Optimus drove in. I hopped off and closed the garage door again. Optimus transformed once it fully closed.

"That was a fun night, Optimus" I said and chuckled. "It was. You better sleep now" He told me. "Yeah. Good night" I said and walked towards my room. "Good night" I heard Optimus say. I went to bed and closed my eyes.

...

The next morning, I woke up early and did my normal morning routines. I don't have college since it's winter break, so I get to spend time with Optimus.

I walked back in to the garage, to see that he was practicing with his sword. I smiled as I watched him practice. He was really good at it. I mean, of course he is. He's Optimus Prime.

He noticed me watching him, and looked towards me. "Good morning, Sage" He greeted. "Morning, Optimus. Training again?" I asked. He just replied with a small nod. "Wan't to spar with me?" I asked with a grin. "I made you a holoform. I never tried it yet though".

"A holoform? I'll see" Optimus said. I saw his face looks like he's focusing on something, before a human like form suddenly fizzed in front of him. "Interesting..." The robot Optimus said, as the human one looked at himself. He has blue and red hair and blue eyes.

"You think you can get a hang of that form?" I asked him. He did some fighting moves with his holoform. "I'll do just fine" He replied. I nodded and handed him a sword. He catches it and examines it before nodding back.

"Don't hold back" I said before lunging at him with my own sword, which he blocks. I swing my sword back, hitting his sword that was just about to go to me. We fight with the swords quite well. But Optimus was pushing me towards a wall.

I didn't have any place to go now. Optimus smirked when he saw me struggling. But I grinned and jumped. I did a sort of front flip and turn. I grabbed his sword and landed safely, while disarming him. I smirked at his surprised expression. "So that's how you're going to play?" He asked with a small smile as he grabbed his sword again.

We fight over and over again. A few times he'd pin me down, and a few times I'd pin him down.

After about 30 minutes, we had a little break. "That.. was a good match" I said as I sat down. "Yes it was. You are quite good for a human" Optimus said as his holoform fizzled away. "Thanks" I chuckled.

"So what should we do today?" I asked him. He looked at me curiously. "You decide" He said. "You like writing? I see you wite in your daily log every night" I chuckled. "It's a habit of mine, I suppose. You write in your... diary. correct?" He asked me back. I nodded.

"I know I made you, but... Could you tell me some of your stories from the old days?" I asked with a small smile. "Of course" Optimus nodded back.

We did a lot of things today. He told me a lot of stories. But oddly, there were some I didn't remember putting in... But it was still fun. I took a picture of us, and hung it on our wall. Before I went to bed, we wrote in our diaries while sharing some stories we find interesting in our past. It was.. A good day.

I said goodnight to Optimus, before going to bed.

We did many things on the next 2 days. Optimus helped me put nano tech into my bracelet. He helped upgraded my tools and items. It seems like he has knowledge I never even put in... It got me curious, but whatever it is, it sure does make him more lively.

This afternoon, I packed up to prepare for the long road trip to Texas. My hometown. Optimus was already waiting for me. I smiled a little as I glanced at him a few times as I packed.

I already ate dinner, and the house was ready to leave. I just brought a bag of items for the long road trip to Texas. 26 hours to be exact.

I sat down in Optimus, and put the bag on the side. "Ready, Sage?" He asked. "Yes I am" I chuckled and opened the garage door.

Optimus drove out, and I closed the garage door and also locked it. We drove out into the road and towards the highway. It was 6 PM right now, and the sun was setting in the distance. I laid back on the seat as I watched the scenery outside. It was quite interesting how I didn't need to drive, and how Optimus didn't need any oil or fuel to recharge. Although I did bring a few cubes of energon, just incase.

We got a lot of stares as we passed in the highway. But, we were expecting it, since it's not everyday you see Optimus Prime driving through.

I watched outside peacefully, as we played some songs on the radio. So it turns out, Optimus does like songs when he's relaxed. Anything but Jazz, Metal, or Rock, which I can really understand, as I usually just play slow songs.

I watched the skies through the window. The stars glittered the sky, and the moon was shining bright. There were some clouds in the sky, but they were pretty in their own ways.

We chatted a little about our old lives. Before Optimus went into war. And the days where I was still with my parents. It was relaxing, and fun.

I yawned slightly, noticing that it was already 10 PM. "Are you sleepy?" Optimus asked. "I guess. Time passes by quickly" I chuckled slightly. "It does, doesn't it?" Optimus said with a small chuckle. Which sounded just so cute...

I rested my head on the chair. I felt the seat belt tightened in a comforting way. "Thanks, Optimus" I said softly, before I fell asleep.

I woke up at 3 in the morning. Optimus was still driving in the highway. He didn't need to stop at all. Because he is an Ali-... Oh right... I made him... Why did that make me feel sad for some reason?

I just sighed and shrugged it off as I continued on.

We stopped a bit, since I did need to eat. But, other than that, the trip was fun, and I get to know more about Optimus. And he did ask me a lot of questions too.

Soon, it was sunset again. Just 3 more hours before we arrive at my home... It has been a fun road trip.
