Nancy was in town the next morning. The people were nice so far from what she’d seen, or heard. It was maybe around three o’clock in the afternoon, and the school kids would be getting out soon. She kept her hood up just in case, not knowing anyone around the town and if they would report her.

Nancy visit almost every store, which were just small thrift store, dollar stores, and the gas station. She had a new pair of clothes that were much too big for her. The walk back to the canyon she was taking harbor in was quiet. Three vehicles passed her along the way, Nancy didn’t pay much attention.

When she got back to her spot, Nancy  stripped from her dirt worn down clothes and changed into the ones she had just bought. They were baggy on her but she would manage.

“—maybe we could change the way we perform in battle? Remember Prowl was always on our afts saying we couldn’t fight” a feminine voice became louder, like whoever it was, was coming closer.

“Maybe, but ah think we fight jus’ fin’! We ar’ alive s’ far, right?” a male voice came as it’s reply. Nancy did her best to hide. She peaked out from her hiding spot and her bottom jaw dropped. Two very tall robots were about to walk past her

“—maybe we could make a second separate base? So if one base is found we have another to go to” she heard a feminine voice say somewhere in the canyon, also getting louder as they got nearer.

“Maybe, that would be ahn good id’a” a male voice spoke, replying to whoever else had just spoke. Nancy didn’t have time to hide as she made eye contact with a robot. There were two of them, but she couldn’t tell if the shorter one was looking at her.

“Great.. Now Ratch’ is going to be up our afts about being spotted by another human” the taller one exhaled. Nancy stayed frozen as she stared at them with wide eyes. The one that she heard speak bent down to her level with a friendly smile.

“We won’t hurt you, miss. We’re Autobot’s, we’re vowed to not hurt humans or any other who cannot defend themselves. I’m Elimpitha, this is Jazz” Nancy shyly waved at them.

“I-I’m Nancy—did humans make you? I don’t know anyone that would make that big of robots. Well.. NASA might” Elimpitha and Jazz chuckled at her rambling.

“Nah, we ‘re from ah different plan’t. Called Cybertron” Jazz said.

“Cool. I always wanted to go to space” Nancy awed.

“If you don’t mind Nancy, we have to bring you back to base since you’ve seen us” Elimpitha said sympathetically.

“I have nowhere to go or be” Nancy shrugged. Elimpitha’s metalic body started to fold and shift, till a car was in front of her. Jazz repeated the action again amazing Nancy. She got into the purple vehicle and felt the car start to drive. Nancy looked into the back and out the rear window, seeing the other vehicle following them.

“We’ll be at the base soon” Elimpitha’s voice said through the speakers. The rest of the ride as quiet and Nancy zoned out subconsciously, Elimpitha’s voice brought her back to reality, “I need you to step out so I can transform.”

The door opened allowing Nancy to step out after unbuckling the seatbelt. She noticed they were in a structure, possibly underground from the rocks on the walls and ceiling.

“Another human?!” a voice shouted, making Nancy jump. She gave a frightened look to the direction it came from, seeing another robot.

“Everyone, this is Nancy. We found her in the canyons ten minutes away from here” Elimpitha said.
