It's been about 20 minutes and according to Sarah, we should almost be there. We pull up to a very high security looking place, I wave through the window at them and start to drive away, but the wheel, along with the truck, pull up to a gate. "Password." A robotic voice demanded. I was freaking out "Optimus." The truck rumbled. We then pull into a dirt plain, Anna gets out and runs over, I open the truck door and nearly fell out. I run over to her and pick her up and keep running to their car. I get to Sarah, "My Truck talked." I panted breathless from running, Sarah sighed. "I know." She says and a man walks over to us. "Who are you?" He asked, Anna ran over to him. "Daddy!" She cheered. "I-I-I'm Sophia..." I say nervously, Sarah came out and put a hand on my shoulder, I was shaking at this point. "This is Thunder and Dotty...." I jester to my animals. He nods at us, and Sarah and him look at each other seemingly having a silent conversation. "So, Sophia, do you believe in aliens?" He asked nonchalantly. "I guess I do." My shaking lessening. "Well, that's what you've been driving." He explained simply. The truck transformed into a large robot, with blue eyes. They held sorrow, fear, and hope all at once. "Well, I'm going to find the deepest hole possible, crawl in and shrivel away slowly." I say putting my lips in a line (like this: 😑). Mr.Lennox raised a brow at me, Anna runs back over and pulls my sleeve, "please don't, I'll miss you!" She says pleadingly. I clutch my heart and fall to my knees, Mr.Lennox steps forward worry on his face. "T-too pure for this world." I state "fine, but only for you." I boop her nose, still on my knees, she takes my larger hand in hers, and leads me closer to the bot, "this is the one I told you about, op-tea-moose!" She said happily. He cleared his throat, and made eye contact. "Hello." I look at him, brow furrowed. "Orion??" I asked dumbfounded, he nodded at me, looking uncomfortable "what I said at the shop still stands you know." I say to him, his look brightens, Anna lets go of my hand, and Optimus picks me up so I can look him in the eye. "Really?" He whispers at me hopefully I hug his face, and giggle, "if you still want me." I say, "of course." He replies happily. I grin, even though he is bigger, he is still cute. "Did you get yourself a girl Optimus?" Mr.Lennox called in an amused tone, "i am not an object!" I call at him, shaking my fist playfully. Optimus chuckles at our antics. Another bot walks out, he is shorter than Optimus, and green. "There you are! Finally! Where have you been?!" The bot snaps at him. When he get close enough and sees me he growls, "what is a human femme doing here?" He snaps, i cower a little, not wanting to make a bad impression. "This is Sophia, she is..." he trails, not making eye contact with the other bot. "Optimus?" He asked "my femmefriend..." he said blue covering his face. I wave to the bot slowly, awkward smile on my face. "You could have done better." He stated bluntly "Well I love HER Ratchet." Optimus counters defensively. Ratchet raises a brow. "I wasn't talking to you." My eyes widen, and I hear a snicker from the ground. "Shhhh! I don't think she knows yet!" Mr.Lennox calls from the ground, I can't hold in a giggle myself. "Trust me, I couldn't have done any better than him, if anything please don't tell him, I don't think he knows he know he could have done better!" I tease back at Ratchet, earning a smirk from him. "I like this one Optimus, good job." He turned around and Optimus set me down on his shoulder.

      He walked into the building in front of us, some noise coming from inside. After a short walk, we came to a hanger with other bits varying in size and color. "Ah Optimus welcome back." The black one polishing a large gun looked up from his work, not noticing me. But a bright yellow one quickly does, he plays multiple songs asking "who the hell...is she?" Asked two different recordings. The black one looks up again, this time seeing me. "This is my femmefriend Sophia." He said more confidently than he did with Ratchet. I shrink under all the gazes. Then I suddenly shoot up, "Thunder." I state, without another word I jump off his shoulder, land, and dart out. Thunder and Dotty are playing with Anna, i scoop the pair up, and dart back inside. "I'm back." I state again. Optimus jumped a little. He picked me up, "please don't do that again, you could have gotten hurt." He said worriedly I smile at him. "I'm a roach, I can't be killed." I shrug, I see the black bot perk, but he says nothing. A very angry man walks in and starts yelling at me and Optimus. As he yells, I grow more and more angry. I think Optimus can feel it, he looked at me worried. "You can't just bring whoever you like here!" He shouts in his rant "let alone a useless girl!" He spits with venom. I growl loudly, enough for him to hear, he glared at me, I continue to growl, I jumped down again, making myself grow a bit so I can look down at the man "shut up!" I growl. "Or what? If you touch me you go to prison girl." He snapped. "Don't you think I hear that enough?! I have MENTAL issues honey, you know what that means big britches?! It means, I hear enough yelling directed at me, I hear enough insults thrown my way, it means i am on the breaking point with myself, it MEANS I don't NEED a MALE TO BIG FOR HIS BRITCHES YELLIN AT ME ABOUT HOW USELESS I AM BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW THAT IM USELESS! I KNOW IM WORTH NOTHING! I KNOW I SHOULD ROT IN A PIT! I KNOW!!!" I shout at him. "I..." I shrink in tears "know..." I pass out from exhaustion.
