Road Trip

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

After I was told that this company called KSI was helping Cemetery Wind kill off the Autobots for their inventions, I was pissed. Very. Pissed!

After everything the Autobots did for our planet and they want to kill them off for their silly gig? Nope, not gonna happen. So, now, we're picking up our stuff and heading for Chicago. I also learned last night about the three Autobots. The green one is Crosshairs, the blue one is Drift, and the army one is Hound. Crosshairs is more of the tech bot, Drift is the calm and wise-ish bot, and Hound is the bot version of a General basically.

But never mind that, Cade and I decided to ride with Optimus while his daughter, Tessa, and her boyfriend, Shane, rode with Bumblebee.

The Dinobots, of course, rode with me because, hey, why not? They're adorable. But problem was, I don't know if they'll bother Cade while we're driving. They're not very fond with the others.

"So, Optimus, Cade, what do we do when we get there?" I asked as we took off, Crosshairs and Drift following close behind while Bumblebee and Hound took off ahead of us. "We need to stay on a low. We also need to find a hideout, food, clothing, and maybe some gear to help us. When we get to Chicago, I need you to come with me to distract a couple security guards while I try and find a pass card. It's the only way employees get in and out of KSI. Is that okay?"

I nodded to Cade before Grimlock purred in my side.

Don't go.

Oh, yeah! Forgot to mention I can understand what he's saying. While the others might hear little roars or growls or something, I hear ACTUAL words coming out of him.

"I know, Grimlock. But we have to save the others. Nothing's going to happen to me." I whispered to him as I rubbed under his chin.

"You have a very strong relationship with the Dinobots, Lordes." Cade complimented as Grimlock snapped his teeth slightly.

"Easy, Grim." I warned as Grimlock went back to laying in my lap. "Yeah. My dad must have found them before he died. He hid it from me before Cemetery Wind found him. Guess he was either hiding it from them or it was a birthday gift for me. I don't know, but the moment Grimlock opened his eyes, it's like we immediately clicked. Like me and Prime."

I patted the dashboard softly before I felt the seat warm up. I smiled before I looked back at Cade.

"So, how did you meet Bumblebee?" I asked out of curiosity as Cade chuckled softly.

"It's kind of a funny story because..um..my good friend, Lucas, was visiting an old theater we use to go to as teenagers. We were just wandering around and I found an old football of mine that I haven't seen since high school. While we were fooling around with it, Lucas threw it too high up and it crashed somewhere. And it ended up crashing on Bumblebee. It was..odd..to see a car in good condition just rusting in an old theater, so I took him back and fixed him." Cade explained as I smiled and nodded.

"That's almost exactly how Optimus and I met, except he drove my house once. I didn't even know it was him at the time so I didn't think much of it. But then with the whole situation with my parents and Cemetery Wind, I..um..had no choice but shoplift this convenience store. I was hungry and I don't think nobody was going to help me, so I took matters into my own hands and took what I could." I began as I unzipped my backpack to display the snacks.

"Geez! How much did you take?!"

"Plenty. You can take some if you want. For you and your daughter." I offered as Cade smiled at me and nodded. "Thanks, Lordes. You know, you may only be a kid, but you are the most kindest kid I've ever met."

"Thanks, Cade

We had stopped at a Walmart when we left the state of Texas and was crossing over into Arkansas. We had to go with a bot. Shane went with Bumblebee and Drift, Tessa went with me and Optimus, Cade went with Hound and Crosshairs. We all had to break off to park so we wouldn't look suspicious. Everyone had their own holoform, which was even better.

When we went in, Optimus, Tessa and I immediately went to the clothing section. Tessa had went to the Junior section, so, Optimus went with me to the girl section to help me.

"I haven't done this in so long, I almost forgot what it was like to shop for clothes." I said as I wandered around.

"Well, whatever you would like to do first, I'm here."
