Transformers: More that meets the eye

Meeting the others

I was sitting on the couch when Bumblebee and Arcee pulled in. I immediately got up to greet them and I noticed the three humans. "Hey Optimus, what is going on right now?" I asked as I climbed onto his shoulder. "Well during a fight between Decepticons Arcee and Bee ran into two of the humans. They came over to Optimus and immediately noticed me. "Who are you?" The older boy asked. I immediately got uncomfortable. "This is Sky." Optimus said softly. I immediately went over to Bee. "She seems nervous." The girl said. Just then the younger boy came over to me. I looked at Bee. He beeped and chirped softly. "You promise he's nice and calm?" I asked. Bee nodded. I looked at the boy. "H-Hi I'm Sky." I whispered. "Rafael, or Raf for short." He said. "How come we don't see you at school?" The girl asked. "Who are you?" I asked. "I'm Meko." She said. I nodded and looked away. "Well, are you going to answer?" she asked. I looked at Optimus. He nodded. "She doesn't go to your school. Her father is Agent William Fowler. He is the agent in charge of keeping our existence safe." Optimus said. I nodded and looked at Optimus with a smile. "Her father thinks it's safer if we teach here about our world and different fighting styles." Arcee said. "So, you are telling me that she doesn't go to school!" Meko yelled. I nodded as the elevator doors opened and Agent Fowler came in. I ran over to him. "Hey, da." I said with a smile. Fowler smiled softly. He noticed the other three kids standing nearby. He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Da, they are nice." I whispered. He looked at me and nodded. Then he turned to Optimus. "I have to travel for a few days. Do you mind if Sky stays here?" Fowler asked. Before Optimus could say anything, Ratchet immediately grabbed me and brought me next to the computer. "I will take that as a yes." Fowler said. Optimus smiled and nodded. After that Fowler left. "So, what do you do for fun around here? Meko asked. I dragged my bag over and pulled out my camera and a few other things. "If there is one thing you should know is that Sky is not an excited person. She doesn't like talking but she can fight well." Bulkhead said. Meko's eyes grew wide and she immediately looked at me. "That is so cool!" She said excitedly. I heard Bee come over and he gestured at Raf as he pointed at my camera. "You want me to add Raf to my scrapbook?" I asked. Bee beeped happily. "Ok, give me a second." I said. "Hey, Meko, Raf, Jack, could you come over here for a second." I said. They nodded and came over. I went in front of them and took a photo. It printed and I taped it down next to Bee's photo. "You do scrapbooking?" Meko asked. I nodded. She squealed happily and hugged me. I smiled sheepishly. "Hey Meko, she is a little uncomfortable." Jack said. She looked at Jack, confused. Bulkhead sighed, gently grabbed her, and put her on the ground beside him. "Aw, man." She grumbled. "O-Optimus. I-I hate to bug, but - No bars." Jack said. Optimus turned and looked at Jack. "A security precaution. The silo walls isolate all radio waves." He said. "Well, if I don't call my mom like now, I'm pretty sure cops will be out looking for me." Jack said. "Have you broken a law?" Optimus asked. I looked at my watch. "Optimus it's after 10 PM. They have a curfew." I said. Optimus nodded. "Earth customs. I hadn't considered. But the issue of your safety remains. Bulkhead! Accompany Miko home." Optimus said. "Awesome! My host parents will freak!" Meko said. Optimus continued. "And maintain covert surveillance in vehicle form." He said. "Curbside duty got it," Bulkhead said. Then Optimus turned to Bee. "Bumblebee! You'll watch over Raf." He said. Then he turned to Ratchet. Ratchet immediately grabbed me. "Busy!" He said as he patted my head. Optimus turned to Arcee. You'll accompany Jack." Optimus said. Then Arcee grabbed her head. "Ooh, still dizzy." She said. Ratchet scoffed. "You're fine! says your physician." He said. Arcee rolled her eyes, changed into her motorcycle form, and drove off with Jack. Then Optimus turned to me. "I know, I know. I should go to bed." I said. Optimus smiled and nodded. I dug in my bag, put the sleeping bag in front of the couch, and lay down. I grabbed my bee plush and I slowly fell asleep.
