CHAPTER 2~

Meanwhile back at the ship something really WAS happening. Inside the ship a small shadow emerged from a crevasse in the storage facility. Its bright blue optics lit up the room and the object clearly sees that the ship had landed.

"Where am I?" The object clearly appeared to have a feminine voice of that of a young sparkling; a very young sparkling.

"This doesn't look like Iacon." As the frightened sparkling said this, she removed herself from between the two crates she had hidden herself between.

"But I guess since I'm still on the ship, I won't know if I'm at Iacon or not." The sparkling very cautiously moved through the monstrously large hallways of the ship to find the door leading outside. But what was waiting for her outside? She only had one way to find out. As the sparkling brought herself into the light we could clearly see that she was a young femme sparkling about seven thousand vorns old with red and blue armor. She walked through the hallways and stopped when she felt a light, cool breeze coming from outside the ship. When she approached the door she was overtaken by the sight she saw. Yep, this wasn't Iacon… or Cybertron for that matter. What she saw was unlike anything she had ever seen. This planet had so much…GREEN!?! Why is it green? Is it sick or something? But she knew it was a planet because when she looked up she could clearly see the black night sky filled with its everlasting blanket of stars. As she descended down the long exit ramp of the ship, the cold night air hit her armor but it didn't feel bad, it actually felt…good.

"So am I understood Optimus?" Sentinel was coming out of the base while still talking to Optimus. "Or are you going to blow off everything I've just told you?"

The sparkling realized the big mech was returning to the ship. She had to hide…QUICK!! She jumped down off the ramp and ran across a large stretch of pavement and hid behind a large garbage bin.

"Oh, Primus, I hope he didn't see me."Slowly the sparkling turned around and looked back toward the ship. The two mechs were still standing there talking. She sank back down behind the garbage bin relieved. "*(sighs)*Good they didn't…-wait a nano-click-…THEY?!" The sparkling shot up to look at this new bot. When she was on the ship she only saw four large mechs; a blue one, a white one, and orange and blue twins so…….who was this guy? He stood tall and proud. His face plate was very………familiar. Where has she seen him before? His red and blue armor looks freakishly familiar, wait…red…and…blue…armor? She slowly looks down at her own armor realizing she's made up with the same colors, the same shades in fact. But any bot could have the same colors; it could be just a coincidence. The large mech then raised a servo to rub one of his large blue antennas. The sparkling looked up at her own head to realize she too had a similar pair of antennas as well. It could still just be a coincidence, right?

"OPTIMUS ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?!!?" Sentinel was beginning to become annoyed with Optimus recent problem of randomly drifting off during a conversation. The sparkling froze instantly when she heard Sentinel shout that name.

"……..Optimus? Could it be?" The sparkling whispered to herself in disbelief. "Could it really be?" But only when she heard him speak, was when she knew for sure.

"Huh? Oh, sorry Sentinel I didn't mean to-"

"Look Optimus, this is extremely important, we can't afford to have you drifting off to the farthest reaches of space."Sentinel apparently for once in his life WAS being serious.

Optimus looking up at Sentinel realizing his own mistake. "I'm sorry Sentinel it's just that…"
Sentinel disregarding Optimus. "I know, I know… that you feel like something is coming, you've told me that about a hundred thousand times."

Optimus laughing to himself. "I apologize Sentinel, but I will try to find out what Megatron is up to."

As Sentinel walks away back to the ship, his crew fallows. "Good…we'll check back in on you and your crew in less than a stellar cycle." With that Sentinel ascended into the ship with the door closing behind him and the rest of his crew. With the ship roaring to life and lifting off the ground, the ship was gone into the atmosphere within seconds leaving its previous cargo behind.

The sparkling watched as the flag ship of the Elite Guard faded into the night sky. Great, now what? She's stuck on a strange alien planet with no idea as to what her next plan of action is. But on the bright side, she thinks she's found what she's been looking for……………………………………………..for a long, long time.

That first night on this strange new planet was one of the hardest she's ever had. She woke up the next morning still behind the garbage bin she hid behind the previous night. The sun was rising over the horizon allowing the sparkling's optics to see things she hadn't seen before. But with her optics still craving stasis, she again fell into sleep, heavy sleep, so heavy that one mega-cycle later she was unable to hear to small, quiet footsteps approaching.

Sari Sumdac, the daughter of Professor Sumdac of Sumdac Industries had befriended the Autobots when they first crashed on Earth, and had later found out that she herself was half of their species. She lived in the base with the Autobots and had been teaching them of Earth ways since they first arrived on the planet.

Sari was up early every morning doing things to occupy herself as so not wake her "fellow machines" from their stasis. She was taking out a large bag of trash to the bin when she noticed something and froze. It was a little…body?

Sari put the bag of trash on the ground as quietly as possible and cautiously approached. It was a body! A little robot! Could it possibly be Cybertronian? Only one way to find out. Sari slowly circled the little one as if looking for something, clearly an Autobot or Decepticon symbol or any symbol for that matter but stopped when she noticed the edge of a small red symbol on its shoulder. Sari was about to move aside its shoulder to see when she jumped at the sudden movement of the little one. It was waking up! Sari jumped back in horror and shock but fell on her ass in the attempt of escaping and just froze. Apparently her fight or flight response had failed. The little sparkling opened her optics to see and feel the warmth of the still rising sun. It was near noon now but she still had the feeling of being tired. That feeling soon went away when her optics came across a small sentient being sitting just feet away from her. The sparkling froze. Fear shot through her circuits like a plague. She didn't move…she couldn't, she could only sit there and watch as this being watched her.

After many minutes of sitting and staring, Sari broke the silence making the sparkling jump.

"Hi." Sari said with a gentle smile upon her face. The sparkling's feelings now changed from fear to curiosity. This was a being sitting right in front of her and is almost as big as her and above all other things…was talking. Moments passed before the sparkling could muster up enough courage to respond.

"Uh…hi" The sparkling's voice was nothing more than a whisper.

Sari sat back with an expression of udder amazement. "So…" Sari leans forward while smiling. "…you can talk."

"So can you." Was the sparkling's response. "How is that even possible?"

"I was going to ask you the same thing." Sari almost laughed.

With that a small smile seemed to slip onto the young bot's face. She gazed across this new creature with no fear in her mind anymore but instead EXTREAME curiosity.

The sparkling leaded forward onto her knees slowly approaching Sari.

"What are you?" The sparkling reached out a servo to Sari.

Sari was a little overtaken by the sparkling's actions but allowed it. The sparkling gently caressed Sari's hair feeling the soft smooth texture of its surface.

"I'm a human," Sari answered. "…well technically I'm half human, but, what are you?"

The sparkling was captivated by the color of Sari's hair. Sari while looking up at the obviously amused youngling. "What are you doing?"

The sparkling looking at Sari. "What is this stuff that covers your head?"

Sari while holding out a lock of hair. "What? This?"

The sparkling nodded her head. Sari smiles.

"It's called hair."

"Hair?" The sparkling looks back at Sari's head holding some in her servo.

"Yes, but you still haven't answered my question." Sari pulls her hair away from the young ones servos.

The little one looks back to Sari. "Question? What question?"

Sari looks away in annoyance and slight disgust then looks back at the little one. "What ARE you?"

"Oh," The little one looks away and giggles. "I'm sorry, you see, I'm an Autobot sparkling." With that the little one pointed to her left shoulder. Sure enough there was an Autobot symbol showing its red and white pride. Sari was relieved and smiled back at the sparkling. Somehow the little machine was able to detect the feeling of relief in the little human.

"What's your name?" The little sparkling asked while taking the human in her hands. You see, what you have to understand is that this little sparkling is not much bigger then Sari …just a little but not by much.

"My name?" Sari asked pointing to herself.

The sparkling again giggled to herself nodding.

Sari found the little ones giggle quite intoxicating and was soon giggling herself. Sari looked up at the pair of big blue optics looking at her.

"My name is Sari." Sari smiled at the curious little bot.

"Sari?" The sparkling cocked her head to the side.

Sari giggles and smiles. "Yes, my name is Sari." She pauses. "What's your name?"

"My name?" The little bot points to herself.

"Yes silly, your name." Sari smiles and laughs.

The sparkling looked down at her stabilizing servos. "I…."

She again looked up at Sari. "I… don't have a name."

"WHAT?!?!?" Sari looked at the sparkling in disbelief.

The sparkling looked again at Sari. "I don't h-have a name."

Sari was dumbfounded by this. How could you not have a name? A name is like your soul, you can't live without it. At least she couldn't imagine living without a name, even a bad one at that.
But apparently it didn't bother this little red and blue bot at all, or at least from what she could…wait a minute…red and blue? Sari looked at this little bot and noticed something. Sari wasn't sure what it was that she realized, but something about this bot seemed … familiar. As if she seen this bot before, but where?

Meanwhile back inside the base the others were beginning to wake. Bumblebee and Bulkhead were the first to get up and the first to see Sari's new friend.
Bumblebee stood in the doorway watching in awe and confusion. Who was this strange new bot just outside the base.

"Sari?" Bumblebee stood in the doorway with Bulkhead next to him. Both were in awe.
The sparkling only sat in fear at the sight of these two new mechs. Sari apparently could feel that the sparkling truly was afraid at the sight of Bumblebee and Bulkhead.

Sari only smiled at the sparkling. "It's ok; they're not going to hurt you."

Sari stepped down from the sparkling's grasp and turned to Bumblebee and Bulkhead, then back to the sparkling. "Little one, this is Bumblebee and Bulkhead…my friends…and now…yours too…"
