Chapter 25: Really Sam
::Alright....we're in the clear.::
"I can get up now?"
::Yeah.::
I climbed from the backseat floor and climbed into the passenger seat. "Where are we going?"
::Sam.::
"Why are we going to Sam?"
::To get...him.::
"Why are we going to get him?"
The radio remained silent. "Come on Bee you can tell. I promise I won't say anything."
::Promise?:: A little girl asked.
"I promise."
::.......A piece....cube....has been stolen!::
"A shard of the Allspark has been stolen? By who?"
::Evil has risen!::
"The Cons?"
::Yes yes yes!::
"Can you remind me what the Allspark is?"
:: There was the Cube. It holds the power to create worlds and fill them... with life. That is how our race was born. For a time, we lived in harmony. But like all great power, some wanted it for good, others for evil:: I heard my dad's voice saying the message.
"Sounds pretty dangerous if the Decepticons have it. Do you know what they're planning to do with it?"
::....Kill this world!::
"I don't know why they want to do that."
::Sha dude. I know right.::
"And why do we need Sam?"
::We need his help.::
"How long before we get to Sam?"
::Routing directions.....starting route to University of Pennsylvania. You should arrive at your destination in 1 hour and 56 minutes.::
"Ugh." I groaned, hitting my head against the door. "I have to sit here for nearly 2 hours?!"
::You are correct! Please keep hands and feet inside the vehicle and enjoy the ride.::
"Well I'm going to sleep if it's gonna take that long."
::Goodnight don't let the bedbugs bite.::
Bee adjusted the seat, so I could be in a comfortable position to sleep. I felt the seats warm up as I curled up against them.
—————————————————————-
::Wake me up! Wake me up inside! I can't wake up, wake me up inside! Save me.::
"Bee!" I huffed from being jolted awake so sudden.
::Get up! We're hereee.::
I looked out the window, admiring the new landscapes and buildings rushing by. "We're in Pennsylvania?"
::Um...let's see here...According to my calculations...you are correct. You have now arrived at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Enjoy your stay.::
"Oh. How long before we get to Sam?" I asked, sitting up as the front seat adjusted to its previous state.
::In a few minutes dude...hide.::
"Hide? 'Hide is here?" I questioned, searching for a GMC Black Topkick out the window.
::No...you need to..hide.::
"Why?"
::No one...is supposed to know you're here.::
"I'm sure Sammy won't tell."
::Just do it.::
"Fine." I crawled back into the backseat, careful to not leave any footprints on the leather seats.
::Lay low.::
"Do I need to lay on the floor?"
::Yes.::
"Why?"
::Cause...I said so missy!::
"This isn't fair." I mumbled, squeezing between the seats to lay on the floor.
::One more thing out of you....you'll find yourself...in...the trunk.::
I instantly shut my mouth, knowing he would carry up his threat. It happened once before.
Definitely not a few times.
::That's what I thought.::
"I'm telling dad." I muttered under my breath.
::Huh? What was that?::
"Nothing."
::Repeat?::
"I didn't say anything!"
::Thought so.::
Big Bully.
::Shhhh....don't say a word...driving up to the....University.::
"Why can't I say anything? Sam knows me." I stated.
::....In the trunk you go.::
"No no I'm sorry! Ok I understand. I'll stop." I quickly said.
::Just...be quiet.::
"Ok."
I looked out the window across from me, seeing large buildings coming into view. There was lampposts, statues, statues made out of bushes, and dorm rooms. Then a confused, slightly frightened student pass by. More students passed by. And teachers.
Wait where are we?
Bee's speed increased a bit until he came to a sudden stop, making all types of car noises and alarms right after.
I was about to question him about, but then he would just tell me to be quiet again.
"Hey!" I heard a voice yell.
I couldn't really see since I was 'definitely' not forced to get on the floor.
"Who drove the freaking yellow Camaro? Huh? There is a car on the lawn!" A male voice shouted angrily.
"Bee."
::Shh. Not a word.::
"Bumblebee! What are you doing?" I heard Sam's voice out of nowhere.
::Houston, we have a problem.::
"What is it?" Sam asked, leaning into the window.
"Yo, Freshman!" The voice from earlier yelled.
"Yeah?"
"That your car in our bushes?"
"No, there's a- there's a friend of mine, he just went to, ah, to get you a tighter shirt." Sam faltered.
"There isn't a tighter shirt! We checked. Now how about I park my foot in your a**?" Another male voice growled.
"What size shoe do you wear?" Sam asked nervously.
What? I don't know if Sam is trying to get a joke out of this or he's just really nervous or scared and is just saying random things.
"Yeah?"
"Oh, you want? You want-"
Someone sounded like they wanted to fight and Sam is obviously not a fighter.
Nowhere near that category.
"Hold on."
"You wanna try?"
"I'll back it up right now." Sam said.
I heard footsteps running outside and a surprised gasp. " You have- woah-ho, you have a ride? Bro, why are you holding out on us?" Another asked.
"I've only known you 17 hours." Sam stated. He's keeping up with time.
"This is gonna really change our lives. You have no idea."
I heard an annoyed puff of air being released, before Sam got into Bee. A random girl walked around to the passenger, stopping at the window. She had tanned skin, long dirty blonde hair, blue eyes and she wore a light blue dress that didn't even go past her knees. "I love Camaros." She said softly.
Who is this girl?
"Ah, no. I don't have time for this."
"Don't be a wimp." She grinned. This woman actually had the nerve to open my brother's door (doorwing) and get inside like she owns him or something. I was livid. I couldn't believe her.
"Oh god." Sam said in a low voice, pretending to start up Bee and driving off.
"My first car was my dad's ninety-two Z28." The girl smiled.
No one cares woman, get out of my brother.
"Yeah?"
"Fuel-injected. The roar of the engine, it just tickles me." She said, biting her lip and rubbing her leg.
"We shouldn't, uh, stare... I mean, share stories with each other at all." Sam stuttered.
"Eh, come on, Sam. Just one ride."
::You cheatinnnn' heart...::
"Don't. Don't!" Sam growled, hitting the radio.
Next time Sam hits Bee Ima have to kill him. It's not his fault that he was telling the truth. Sam is kinda cheating on Mikaela if he's with another girl.
::She's a super freak, super freak, she's super freaky-:: The radio sang.
"Is your radio broken?" The girl asked.
"No, my concentration is." Sam replied.
"We're not cheating. Not yet."
You're not gonna convince him to cheat at all.
"Is something... wrong... here...um?" I quickly covered my mouth to hide my laugh when the seat shook violently, earning a surprised yelp out of her. Then the seat flew forward towards the car dash, causing the girl to hit her nose.
"Oh, God! You okay?" Sam panicked.
::Ow.::
"Ow." The girl groaned rubbing her nose.
:: She's mighty, mighty-::
"I really don't know what to tell you. This car has a lot of problems. A lot... oh."
Suddenly yellow liquid began spraying everywhere on the girl. "Oh! Oh, God! It's in my mouth! Oh, are you okay? I got Wetnaps. I got Wetnaps for your face! Hold on!" Sam reassured, fumbling around in the compartment box to find 'Wetnaps'.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I... I'm so sorry! Sam sighed, watching the girl walk down the street, anger clear on her face.
He should be glad that's she's gone. Something tells me that girl is trouble. Something doesn't feel right about her.
"What're you doing?" Sam asked, looking towards Bee.
::Uhhhh...saving you.::
Thank you.
Sam grabbed a handful of his hair in both hands, getting back inside with Bee.
"What do you want?"
:: Someone...wishes to talk to you.::
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We had to travel an hour to an area by a highway which was some sort of yard full of statues and metal things in the ground. And I still had to hide and be quiet. Bee pulled into the area and came to a stop in front of my dad who stood by a tall statue that was just about his height.
Sam got out, his lips pursing slightly as he approached my dad. "Huh. You won't give me a day, huh? You won't give me one day in college?"
Uh Sam, little respect Sam. He saved your life.
And your race.
"I'm sorry, Sam, but the last fragment of the Allspark was stolen." My father announced.
"Like what? Like Decepticons stole it?" Sam guessed.
"We placed it under human protection at your government's request. But I'm here for your help, Sam. Because your leaders believe we brought vengeance upon your planet. Perhaps they are right. That is why they must be reminded by another human of the trust we share."
"This isn't my war."
"No one said it wa-"
::Shut up.:: The radio whispered loudly.
"Not yet. But I fear it soon will be. Your world must not share the same fate as Cybertron. Whole generations lost."
"I know, and I... I want to help you, I do, but I am not some alien ambassador, you know? I'm a normal kid with normal problems. I am where I'm supposed to be. I'm sorry. I... I really am."
"Sam, fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing."
"You're Optimus Prime. You don't need me." Sam chuckled lightly
"We do. More than you know."
