Sidestreaker

A/N sorry for the long wait for the rest of the book.

"Between them. I turned to the Autobots. "You all need to stay here, all right?" she ordered. "Mikaela, stay and watch them until the coast is clear," Sam said. Mikaela nodded. "Five minutes. C'mon, RJ." The two of them hurried to Sam's house. I remembered dad's new rule and walked on the path, but Sam ran across the grass. I rolled her eyes. 

"Thanks for staying on my path," I heard dad snap, and I looked up to see him standing by the back door. "Oh, yeah. No, no, Dad. Hey! The, oh, the path. I'm sorry. I forgot. I forgot about the path. I'm gonna sweep the whole thing right now. How about that?" Sam said, a desperate edge to his voice. I walked up behind him and stood by his side. Mr. Witwicky sighed. "You know, I buy half your car, then I bail you out of jail, then I just decided to do all your chores, then you dragged your sister out for we don't know how long," he replied. Sam gulped. "The chores. Oh," he muttered. "Yeah. Life is great, huh?" Dad said. I felt a light thump, and I turned to see the Autobots in their robot form. My eyes widened; if dad came outside now, he'd see the Autobots. I jumped in. "You know, dad, we're going to go do the trash cans now," I told him, trying not to panic. Dad shook his head. "No, no, I don't want you two to strain yourselves," he replied. 

Sam shook his head. "No, not at all. We're not going to strain ourselves." I said to dad. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Bumblebee, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker start to walk up to them. I mentally groaned and started babbling. "It would hurt my feelings if you do it. I would feel really, bad if I made you do the trash cans. I've got the trash cans covered." i said to dad. "I'm gonna scrape the grill, too," Sam added and I nodded. "And I'm gonna sweep the whole house," I said. "Right now," we said together. Dad looked at both speculatively. 

"I don't mind doing it, I promise," he told us, starting to force the door open. Sam leaned against the frame and blocked it. "The- uh- I love you. God, I love you so much right now," he blurted. I laughed but passed it off as a cough. "You know, Mom wanted me to ground you both. You're three minutes late," Dad said as Sam nodded thinking. "Just another thing you did for us, Dad, because you're such a swell guy," he agreed, nodding. Dad started walking back into the house "I love you! Sleep tight, handsome man!" Sam called after him. 

 The second, dad was out of sight, I turned to the Autobots. "What are you doing? We had it under control!" I exclaimed. "We need the glasses," Optimus answered, walking into the yard as Sam's eyes widened. "Not the path!" He shouted together as Optimus' foot came down in the middle of the yard, crushing the fountain and the path. "Whoops," Optimus said. "My bad." He stepped off the path. "Autobots, roll out," Prime ordered, and they drove off towards our house. When the two of them pulled up in front of the house, the Autobots, Sam, and Mikaela immediately noticed the new ease, revealing the crushed fountain. Sam groaned. "You couldn't wait for five minutes?" he demanded. "I told you to stay. Just- stay! God!" Mikaela walked into the yard, and Sam turned to her angrily. "I told you to watch them," he accused. "I told you." "Okay, you know what? They seem to be in a little bit of a rush," Mikaela said. 

 Suddenly, they heard a bark, and they turned to see Mojo barking at Ironhide. "Oh crap," I muttered as Mojo lifted his leg and peed on the robot's foot. Then came out of a secret pathway I built in the house. Sam saw them and looked at me saying, 'later'. I rolled my eyes while petting and talking to Simba, Shika, and Derek. "Did you guys eat yet." I asked Simba, Shika, and Derek. "Kind of," Shika replied. Sam let out another groan. "Mojo, Mojo!" he shouted. "Off the robot!" Ironhide bent down and saw the dog. "Nnh," he muttered. "Wet." Sam's eyes widened. "No no no no no no no!" he exclaimed. "Easy, easy! Hold! This is Mojo. This is Mojo. He's a pet of mine. A pet. Okay? That's all." Sam said to Ironhide. "You have a rodent infestation. Should I terminate?" Ironhide told him.  I stepped in when I heard this as Sam picked up Mojo protectively. "He's Sam's pet," I said. "A Chihuahua." Sam continued. "He leaked lubricants all over my foot," Ironhide replied accusingly as Sam held Mojo tighter and I nodded. "It's a male dominance thing," I reassured him when I got five mice for Shika, antelope for both Derek and Simba. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker came to me watching me feed Simba, Shika, and Derek with their food. "Why do you three of your world dangerous animals." Sides asked. "They escaped from a genetics and mechanical laboratory. They ran to our backyard hiding and bleeding when I found them. They were young in their species and were starving. I took care of them since then. Sam and I were playing before I almost exploded when I got my powers." I said sadly with the memory. "That's all it is. My foot is going to rust," Ironhide mumbled. I gestured to Sam to clean it up, and he ran and got a wipe to clean it. 

I would have been laughing at Sam (he looked like he was about to burst), Mojo, and the Autobots if it wasn't such a serious situation. Optimus bent down. "We need the glasses," he reminded them, the impatience obvious in his voice. I nodded. "Don't worry," I reassured him. "We're moving. C'mon, Sam. Get inside. Just... be quiet, guys. And hide." I told everyone and going inside the house. After a few minutes, they were pawing through Sam's room, I heard it from the kitchen. Sam trying to find the glasses. Even though the glasses had been seen a few days ago, they were MIA. After tossing some underwear out of Sam's draw. After a while, I saw them Mikaela was lifted into the room. "They really want those glasses," Mikaela explained as she climbed into the room. "Please hurry," Optimus pleaded. I heard then notice Sam's bag on the counter. I looked in it inside, found the glasses and ran outside. "I found the glasses, people, and y'all need to leave now because I have a feeling somethings gonna happen." I yelled to everyone. 

Sam, Mikaela, Simba, Derek, Shika, the Autobots all started to go their ways. Sam, Mikaela, Simba, Derek, Shika, and I met at the stairs when the doorbell rang, and we hoped the Autobots left without being seen by these guys. Then the men in suits step into the house after complaining to dad, and my eyes narrowed. Who were they? What did they want? Was it simply a coincidence that strange men entered the house the same day that she, Sam, and Mikaela found out about the Autobots? "Your son and daughter are the great-grandson/ daughter of Archibald Wickity, is he not?" Creepy 1 said to dad. She could literally hear dad's teeth grind as he wanted to snap. "Hide the glass, Sam or I will have to run with them." I said looking to Sam. His eyes widened, as he shoved them to me panicking. I rolled my eyes and put it in my jacket pocket. "Ron, there's guys all over our yard," Mom said, looking outside the window. Dad joined her. "What the heck is going on here?" he demanded, seeing government agents pawing through his yard. "Your son filed a stolen car report last night," the government agent answered. "We think that it has something to do with a national security matter." "You told the police, Sam, are you insane." I whispered to Sam as Mikaela, Simba, Derek, and Shika looked between us. Dad raised an eyebrow. "National security?" "They're ripping up my rosebushes!" Mom protested. "Hide you three, no matter what, follow us if they take us, and stay with Sunstreaker or Jazz." I whispered softly enough for Simba, Derek, and Shika to turn invisible, so they are not seen. They do so when they heard me and knowing that the Autobots will also follow them.
