OC-tober; meeting someone important for the first time
Flufftober; swoon
( for my story that takes place between the third and fourth transformers live-action movie.)
The five Autobots couldn't believe what happened. To four of them, this was their first impression of humans. Even if many Autobots have been on Earth for three to five years. Being one of the first on Earth, Bumblebee can't believe the events, but he doesn't want to say all humans are bad.
"Seriously?!" Crosshairs argues, "how stupid are you?!"
"Really? Because I've - been on - Earth - longer than you."
"You played into their lies!"
"You dare- disrespect our leader?"
"Well, considering we're all targets, don't know who's alive or has been killed; yeah, I'll disrespect Prime for being so stupid!"
Drift stops the argument before it turns into a physical altercation. Bumblebee walks away from the group.
Bumblebee: hey, I have bad news. There's a situation here that we need your help with.
Jamie: we'll be there in five.
Bumblebee sends Jamie coordinates and the group's specific location.
"Something is going on for Bumblebee to tell us to meet outside the city," Jayce comments.
"Get lost before a kill you!" Hound demands.
"Too late, they know where we are!" Crosshairs argues.
"Stop!" The two hear and realize it's an audio clip from Bumble, "they are - our friends. We can - trust them."
The three can't believe what Bumblebee is telling them.
"We should have returned sooner," Jayce sighs.
"Even I could have —" Jamie comments.
"No- you wouldn't have been able to do anything. This happened - during - holidays."
"Less soldiers at the base to take down," J.R. points out, "the six months delay after what Sentinel did seems suspicious. There's more going on."
"What do you care?!" Crosshairs argues, "you're a human!"
Time skip since this isn't for the story
Crosshairs and Hound still don't trust the three femmes, but the three are allowed to stay. No one questioned why Drift hadn't said anything during the discussion/ argument.
The three new Autobots learn how the three femmes are not 100% human as they watch the three fly to get firewood, and Jamie uses powers to light the fire. Drift watches Jamie, feeling something in his spark. He thought it was fear that humans can't be trusted, yet he feels relaxed. The feeling doesn't fade the longer he watches her. Drift thinks about possible times he felt this way.
"Drift?" Bumblebee asks, "you haven't - said anything about - them."
"You trust them, there's no reason I shouldn't."
Drift doesn't want to tell Bumblebee about this feeling.
"I can try to find them," Jamie tells the four Autobots.
"Come on - guys - we can save - our friends," Bumblebee insists.
"Fine,' Crosshairs and Hound both answer and head off to find places to recharge.
Jayce and J.R. do the same.
"I can't believe this is happening, Bee. I should have stayed."
"You can't - blame yourself."
Bumblebee activates his holoform to hug Jamie.
Drift watches, feeling as if he's known Jamie for a long time and hates the guilt she feels. Both Bumblebee and Drift worry Jamie will not be sleeping. Drift wonders how not sleeping now affects Jamie and her friends.
The second Drift sees Jamie, the feeling returns. At this point, he's thinking he's being cliché. He fell in love with Jamie, though he met her last night.
"What's with you?"Crosshairs asks. Drift says nothing, "you don't trust them? Seems unusual for you."
"No, we can trust them."
"What's with you then?"
"I…" Drift doesn't know what to say.
He'll be pissed if I tell him. Drift thinks. And I know I shouldn't be in love with Jamie. She's human. Even if she wasn't, we just met not even a day ago.
Crosshairs worries about not knowing if there are any other Autobots alive is starting to affect Drift. He hates he can't say anything to help his worried friend.
If this doesn't stop in six months, then I can say something. Drift decides as he continues to watch Jamie, feeling that feeling in his spark.
Even though we both know that our loved one will never so much as look our way, we can't erase that small something within us that continues to hope in vain
