Random Transformer Days.

Nightmare stood in an autostore she broke into. No one knew she left to do so, so she was alone. An alarm goes off, in the night as she looks through the many things she could take. The alarm was really loud, alerting the night. It just so happens Bulkhead, and Smokescreen were out on a nightly patrol. Bulkhead and Smokescreen were close by when they heard the alarm go off as they drive toward it. Nightmare didn't notice the two autobots, and she had an armor peice on that covered her decepticon symbol. Once they were there they stayed in vehicle mode to see if it was a human there or not. They saw a cute little purple sparkling clutching a can of Turtle wax in her tiny right servo, as she curiously looks over at them. Smokescreen transforms and starts walking toward her. "It's a sparkling!"

Bulkhead quickly transforms and grabs Smokescreen by the shoulder. "Woah, woah, woah, stay back. We don't know if it could be a trick." From what they could tell, she didn't have any symbols on her as she backs up against the wall, dropping the can. Bulkhead looks around. "I don't want any trouble or tricks triggered. Let's go."

"But the sparkling!" Smokescreen complains.

"What do you expect us to do? Bring it to base?" she speaks up softly."T-there aren't a-any tricks... Its just me out h-here" They could tell she was scared. Bulkhead pats Smokescreen's shoulder. "Look, she's scared. Now let's go."

"What about her though?"

"We can't bring her or keep her. She seems fine on her own, what danger does she have?" That was quickly answered, the humans could find her. Bulkhead looks back at Nightmare, then at Smokescreen. "Aww, scrap. What do we do?" Nightmare watches them, silently planing an escape plan. Smokescreen thinks along with Bulkhead. She stays silent and looks for a way to escape. They start talking over what to do. She listens silently. They look at her silently. She looks back. Smokescreen steps forward. "Where are your parents?" She doesn't say anything as she backs up against the wall more. "I won't hurt you, little one. Do you have any parents?" She picks up the can and attempts to slip past him and Bulkhead. "Hey, where you going?" He watches as she gets past him and goes for running past Bulkhead. He watches with a confused expression.

Bulkhead watches her as well. "Where is she going in such a hurry?"

Smokescreen walks up beside him. "Who knows." Since she didn't have a mode she didn't get far, about a block away from the Auto shop. They watch her with confused expressions. "Probably scared her to death." She stops to catch her breath, then starts running again. "Hm." If they hurried they could catch her. They stand there, wondering what to do. She hides silently, behind a dumpster and waits for them to leave. They decide to leave and forget about it as they transform and continue on with their nightly patrol. She pokes her head out from the ally as she notices a music shop."oooh!~" The night went silent as the sound of their engines fade away. Another loud alarm goes off, as she breaks into the music shop. By then they were enough distance away to not hear it. Some person calls the police station, since it woke up half the neighborhood. After the police station was alerted they sent a cop to the music store, driving up to the front of the store with the sirens on. Nightmare looks over at the cop silently. The cop exits his car, taking out his flash light and turning it on, aiming the beam of light at the broken into store. The light reflexs off of Nightmare's visor as she cringes at the bright light, beeping loudly in complaint. He winces at what he was seeing and hearing as he drops the flash light, then slowly grabs and turns on his walkie talkie. "Uh... I'm gonna need some back up." Nightmare grabs as many Cd's as she can and runs off. He watches her silently, not knowing what to do. She jumps out of the window, over him and runs off down the street. "What the hell is a robot stealing CD's for...?" He stands there, surprised. He could hear the alarm still going off down at the Auto store, and it looked like that's where the robot was going. He gets back into his car and starts it. She continues running, desiding to loose the human by hiding in the auto store. He backs up the car and turns it around then starts driving after her. She runs as fast as her short legs will allow. He stops the car to think about what he's doing. She hops into the auto store and hides, a few more police cars show up from him calling for back up. He tells them the robot went into the auto store as they exit their cars, taking out their flash lights and enter the store. Nightmare hides in a corner, terrified. They look around for her. One of the officers find her. "Hey guys I found it!" Nightmare shakes silently, backing up in the corner more. "Wait, we can't arrest a robot... What do we do?"

Another officer walks up. "I have no idea." By then Optimus got word of Bulkhead and Smokescreen finding a sparkling in the auto store in the nearby town they where patroling. Optimus went to investigate, alone, as he drives up from the distance, staying in his truck mode since there were humans. Nightmare panics and starts beeping loudly in cybertronian, which only optimus could understand she was crying for help. Optimus transforms and walks up outside the auto store, his heavy foot steps alerting the cops as they run outside and look up at him, and in fear they scramble off into their cars and drive off. Nightmare stays in the corner still shaking. Optimus peaks through the window of The store at her. He saw a small purple sparkling in the far corner, trembling in fear. "Hello, little one. Are your parents around?" She shakes her helm silently, looking at him. "Why are you out here alone?"

"I-I'm lost" she beeps softly.

"Where do you live?" She shrughs softly, silently clutching cds to her chest. "You don't know?" She nods softly, her cuteness kinda made him want to try and comfort her. "Hm." He thinks, while she silently looks down at the CDs she had stolen. "Who are your parents?"

"...K-knockout...a-and Loudwave..." She says softly. "You're a Decepticon?" She slightly nods, as she backs up in the cornor more... scared that he was going to kill her. She knew he was an autobot. "I know where you live. I do not believe the extermination of any defenseless life form. I won't hurt you. So come with me, I will return you to your parents."

"O-okay..." She slightly nods, still nervous to approach him. He waits as she shyly gets up, and slowly walks towards him. He watches. She was close enough for him to softly pick her up. He gently picks her up. She looks up at him curiously."W-why are you helping me?"

"You are a sparkling and defenseless." She nods softly. He nods back then comms Ratchet to open a ground bridge to the Con base.

The bridge opens as he enters it and exits, walking out to the front of the base. A few vehicon guards notice him. "Do not shoot. I am only here to return this sparkling." He holds out Nightmare. One of the vehicons looks at him confused."Some trick your trying to pull prime"

"This is no trick. Corporate, and be spared." The vehicon was about to draw his gun but stops and starts screaming along with the other one. "OH PRIMUS I'M BLIND!!" Nightmare giggles and looks up at Optimus,"You can put me down now~" He raises an optic ridge. "What's wrong with them?" He sets her down. She giggles,"Oh I gave them a mentel blindness~"

"I see." She grins darkly up at him and starts to walk into the base, when an idea strikes him. He thinks over the idea. Since she was still a sparkling and still pretty much Innocent, he could take her back to base and train her to be an autobot. Since the cons already have too many on their side. Kidnapping a sparkling from her family and turning her against them was not his way, as he opens a ground bridge back to base and enters, it closing behind him. She enters the base as the vehicons stop screaming and look around."Holy scrap what happened?!"

"I have no idea! " the other one checks his vison and accidently high fives his face.

--- Okay that was fun xD and the two vehicon night guards are who I dubbed Dumb and Dumber since they aren't the brightest vehicons in the whole exsistence of vehicons~
