A Human Friend (Sequel to A Pet Squishy)

Stir Crazy

This is a sequel to "A Pet Squishy" is set in the G1/ All Hail Megatron comic-verse. If you haven't read "All Hail Megatron" I would highly recommend reading and/or purchasing this comic because it's by far the BEST Transformers comic I've ever read. This will make a bit more sense and bring scope to this sequel.

If you haven't read it here's the scoop: Basically the Autobots have been run off of Earth by the Decepticons and the Cons proceed to conquer the whole Earth and succeed handily. This will be eventually set in the aftermath of that conquering...

A Human Friend

"Chapter 1: Stir Crazy"

Four months after her freedom...

It was late when Lana sidled into her car and began relaying the day in her mind, "I stopped at the bank, paid the rent, picked up the groceries, 4:00 went to dental appointment, 5:00 went to work, midnight get off work...did I do everything today?"

Lana had the sneaky suspicion she'd forgotten something. She shook her head and turned off on the back highway she used every night to avoid the traffic and stoplights. It had been a long night working the bar and she was ready to sleep. She promptly switched on her radio and blasted the music to keep her fatigue at bay.

As she drove, she couldn't shake the feeling that she'd forgotten something.

Did she forget to lock up?

No.

Forgot to shut off the lights?

No.

Did she leave her purse at work?

No.

The steering wheel vibrated beneath her hands. The redhead turned down her radio, thinking the bass was set too powerful. But the rumbling remained. Her mind didn't get a chance to register the sound when suddenly something hit both sides of her car and her high beams lifted from the road. Lana screamed as she was slammed back in her seat and the whole car became weightless. Her stomach rolled up to her throat before dropping back into place. Through her windshield she could see her high beams illuminating the tops of trees as her car soared above them.

Lana shook her head with her mouth agape and finally turned to see black metal palms on either side of her car.

Oh...THAT is what she forgot.

"THUNDERCRACKER!" she screamed gripping the steering wheel for dear life.

His red optics appeared upside-down in front of her windshield.

"You're late, Lana." he stated with a smirk.

Lana's eyes were wide with terror, "Oh MY GOD! Thundercracker! Put me back on the road! Are you nuts?"

"It's a great night for flying." his optics gleamed.

"No it's NOT! Put me DOWN!" she shouted in a high pitched voice. "I swear if you dent my car I'm going to deposit you in the recycling plant!"

"I thought you liked to fly?"

"Cars aren't supposed to fly you maniac!" Lana shouted.

"But, I haven't even gone very high yet."

Lana felt her pupils shrink, "Higher? No...NO!"

She was suddenly flung back in her seat and blasted with a huge sonic boom as Thundercracker arced upward toward the stars. It was like being in a rocket...but hundreds of times scarier.
