First Chapter of Future Stories: Part

Aquila X Optimus

Aquila Black was a normal girl, until she meet a trucker called Orion. At least, she believed he was a trucker. He drove a truck. But turns out he is a transforming alien robot from the planet Cybertron. How does Aquila find out? Well lets just say the cons were interested in finding out why Optimus Prime was hanging with a human and decided to kidnap her. This is Aquila's story through Transformers Prime. I only own Aquila Black, no one else or any of the other images that aren't her.

Aquila's POV

Hi everyone, my name is Aquila Black and no I am not related to Sirius Black from Harry Potter. Let's just say my parents were a huge fans of the book and decided to give me a star related name like the Black family in the Harry Potter books. I was actually born and raised in England. But when I turned eighteen, I decided to tour America. I ended up in Jasper, Neveda and I don't know what about the small town attracted me to it. But I just couldn't convince myself to leave.

I am now nineteen and have lived in Jasper for the past six months. I am studying online to become a nurse and I am doing work experience at the local hospital. Under the supervision of June Darby. She is very knowledgeable and patient. She has a teenage son called Jack that goes to the local high school and works at a fast food place.

Anyway, one thing you should know about me. I love star gazing, always have since I found out I was named after a constellation. So I learnt everything I could about the constellations and the different stories behind them. I go to a hill that over looks Jasper, nearly every night just to look up at the stars.

I notice a truck sometimes there also, I never see a driver. Just a red and blue truck sitting there. Almost like it's watching over the town or star gazing. Anyway, I decided to sit on the hood tonight and it is very comfortable.

"Why are you on my truck?" a male voice.

"Holy hell!" I exclaim shocked and turn to see a handsome young man. Brown hair, pale skin and light blue eyes. "You scared me" I tell him.

"I am sorry, I did not mean to scare you" he assures me. "But, why are you on the hood of my truck?" he asks me.

"You know you should introduce yourself" I tell him.

"Right, my name is Op... Orion" he tells me. I smile and look up at the starry sky.

"There you are" I say pointing to it.

"What?" he asks confused and I giggle.

"See those three stars in a row?" I ask pointing at them. He looks up and nods his head. "That is Orion's belt and if you connect the stars around it. You will see Orion himself" I explain. He squints looking at them.

"I see an archer" he says unsure.

"Yep, that's him" I tell him smiling. "Confident in his hunting abilities, Orion declared he would kill every animal in the world but Gaea the goddess of the Earth angered by Orion's claims, sent a scorpion to kill him. Upon Orion's demise, Zeus turned him into a constellation, along with the scorpion that killed him" I explain. "There's the Scorpius" I say pointing the scorpion constellation near Orion.

"I did not know the stars had stories or names" Orion admits.

"They all do, want to hear more?" I ask him. He nods his head and I pat the spot next to me. He hesitates. "Come on, I won't bite" I tell him teasingly. He eventually sits beside me.

"You never told me your name" he states.

"Aquila Black, there I am" I say pointing to the eagle constellation.

"Aquila represented the eagle that carried Zeus' thunderbolts" I tell him.

"Would not the eagle die coming into contact with a thunder bolt?" he asks me.

"Yeah, but it's just a story Orion" I tell him. "By the way, how come I've never seen you before?" I ask him. "I've seen your truck, but not you" I state.

"I was in town" he tells me.

"So what brings you here?" I ask.

"There was a party going on and I don't really like parties" he tells me.

"Me neither" I tell him. "Well you can stay here with me if you want? Unless there is somewhere else you'd rather me" I state.

"Can you tell me more stories about the stars?" he asks me. I smile and nod my head. I have no idea how long we were there. But we talked the whole time. About the stars, our hobbies and jobs. He likes to read and now leads a group of people. He wouldn't tell me more then that and I respected his wishes. The sun eventually began to rise and we had to say good bye, he gave me a lift home. Before leaving.

Since then, we'd meet up every few nights at the same spot. I don't know about Orion. But I think I am starting to fall for him. I plan on telling him the next time I see him. I pray he feels the same way. But maybe he doesn't, I mean it has been two weeks since he last appeared. I hope he is ok.

(Autobot base) Optimus' POV

I wonder if Aquila will be there tonight? I really enjoy our talks. It nice to be able to relax and forget about the war for a few hours while I am with her. She makes me smile and I've even laughed with her. I didn't have to be a leader around her, I could just be old myself. And I love that. But I know at some point I will have to tell her the truth about what and who I am.

But, I am in no hurry too. I don't want to lose what we have. I love that she has no expectations about how I should act. That I don't have to be so serious all the time with her. I don't regret meeting and befriending her that day Wheeljack visited. Even though our base was nearly compromised because of Makeshift. The others handled the situation well.

I haven't seen her in a while, due to the plague. But I've finally gotten the all clear from Ratchet. I pray Aquila won't be mad because of my long absence. Well longer then normal absence. As we usually see each other every few days and it's been two weeks.
