What was it with tonight and strange noises? First Leo, now this. I got up out of bed, again, and made my way to the window. I heard a crashing sound, like something large entering the atmosphere. How I know what that sound like, I don't know.
Anyway, I made my way to the window, and there I saw exactly what I'd somehow thought. Something was falling out of the sky and right into the park near my house. I looked around, but all I saw was the dog woman leaving the house next door. There was a huge crash as the thing hit the park floor. I ran out of my room, certain that I was going to see it. But as I ran out of my room I was caught by my dad, who had been woken by the crash. “Back in your room.” He told me, almost desperately. “But...”
“No buts. Room. Now.” I sulked back into my room and slammed the door. Through my window, I saw my dad racing off. The cars were gone and I could see something, something big, walking through the park. What's going on?

I waited until Adam's dad ran past until I made my way to the park. Something was happening here, and that man had a part to play in it.
I crept away from the house as to not wake up Jenny. She was an extremely light sleeper. I kept my distance from Witwicky and tried not to lose sight of him. What was he doing? Did he actually work for some Cybertron organisation, or is he just curious.
As we arrived at the park, it was already filled with people. But they were walking away, some were asking what happened to cause the crater that the thing left, while others were telling stories of giant robots. One man had his video camera out, showing his friend the footage he got of the crash and the robot that walked from the scene. I grabbed the guys camera and legged it into the crowd so the guy wouldn't see me. I watched the footage back and saw the impact. Then I saw the robot walking from the scene. It was about the size of Skids and Mudflap, thin, and well armoured. I looked up and saw Skids, Mudflap and Witwicky running across the park. I ran after them to the end of the park. We stopped and saw several cars driving away. The cars were all family sized cars, then in the middle, I saw a red Mini crossover. “There.” I pointed it out. “What?” Asked Witwicky, looking at me. “What the hell are you doing here?”
“Yeah, pussy.” Laughed Mudflap, jabbing my arm. “Ow.” I complained. “I've met these two before. That's the robot, the mini.” I repeated. “Skids, go after it.”
“OK.” Skids transformed and raced after it before Mudflap could complain. Witwicky looked at me, expectantly. “What?”
“How do you know about the Autobots?”
“None of your business.”
“Go home, loser.” Said Mudflap, pushing me. I turned and walked home. Mudflap grabbed Witwicky before he could complain and transformed. He drove off after Skids, looking for his twin.
I couldn't tell him. I was sworn to secrecy by the President after what happened in Egypt. I could talk to no one, not even Jenny. But there was one person I could ask. But it was a long shot he'd help me.

I turned on my laptop and turned on the television. I put it on silent and turned on the subtitles. They were saying about it on there already. Apparently there were two more sightings, but in America. Three meteorites all hitting Earth at the same time, this is weird.
I went on the internet and searched “Alien Robots” in the search engine. It came up with a variety of choices, the most recent about the crash that just happened. But there were others, from years ago. I clicked on one of the recent links that the caption read, “A400M plane flies from meteorite crash site, but it was filtered. But it was filtered by something called NEST. I came off it, annoyed and looked on the link next to it, about the same thing, but it was filtered, again by NEST. Why is it filtered? Every link I clicked on was filtered. All of them filtered by NEST. What is NEST?
