Optimus and I hanged out for the rest of morning with me, before he had to leave for a meeting, which I understand. Prior; we had been Walking about and chatting away about random things, it just seemed the conversation would never end. As if we both wanted to keep it going and not allow it to stop, no matter what. Heck the topic of colours came up at one point.
"You know I find it quite Ironic that your paintjob is made out of Prime colours.", I had commented in entertainment whilst my finger traced the outline of a flame on his shoulder plating, making the Autobot Leader smile lightly.
"I assure you, that was not my intention.", Prime responded slowly, making me smile in amusement at the mocking defensive response. "I happen to like these colours."
"Oh really Optimus?, I would have never had known", I replied cheekily with a large smile on my lips, I let out a squeak and ducked quickly when he playfully swatted at me with his two digits.
"Well it is good that you now do, otherwise I couldn't associate with you."
In return I had laughed at the sarcasm in his vocal cords.
It was amazing to see the other side of Optimus. The less serious and more laid back side, the side where he didn't have to be a leader, or face a enemy. It showed what war did to living beings, I never truly noticed how much it effected him...till today.
Now in my bedroom once again -of course still in the military base until I can find an affordable and decent home, close to the Autobots- , I sighed and stared at the blank piece of paper I had planned to draw on. Pencils scattered across the bedsheets, in hope motivation would hit me sooner than later.
I looked up- to spot an old photo I had manage to keep safe through all of this chaos. Picking it up gently I stared at it.

I remembered that day as clear as ever. It was a couple weeks before I had dyed my hair blue. We had finally earnt enough money to go have dinner, of course mum wasn't up to it at that present time because of a recent surgery in hope to help her spine.
So me and Luke went out together. He ordered a steak, as I ordered a burger.
"Is this what they call a steak?. All bone and No meat?", Luke joked about the steak to me, making me snort and shake my head at him.
"If I knew they were going to give us such small meals for so much money I would have just cooked at home.", I commented dryly, looking at my burger to pick it up and take a bite out of it.
"Hey. it tastes good so thats a bonus.", Luke took a sip of his drink and grinned away at me, "Thanks Cat, this is great.", I smiled in return at that. Bad mood slowly turning good at that one comment.
"As long as you are enjoying yourself Luke.", I replied happily and he nodded at that, his hair rustling at the action.
Luke cut a chunk of the steak up, "Well, I am. I wish we could do this more often. Mum joining us as well."
"Me too.", I sighed looking at the table, for Luke to bring out his crappy phone, that was pretty much smashed up and dead from all the times he dropped it. I was surprised the damn thing still worked.
"Hey!.", Luke shouted at an random Asian looking lady that looked surprised. "Luke!. Don't be rude!.', I scolded in embarrassment, trying to pull the now standing boy back in his seat. This made me also stand.
"Can ya take a pic of us?.", Luke asked- more like stated, poor lady, she was obviously a tourist and didn't know that much English and here was my brother putting her on the spot.
The lady nodded very slowly, a kind smile on her face and grabbed the faded red phone and face the camera to us.
"say cheese?.", she said commented quietly and shyly out, whilst adjusting her glasses.
Luke did his smooth smile and stared at the camera at this. Me?. I went camera shy and didn't even look at the camera, I looked everywhere but the camera.
Of course taking the pic was done and dusted in seconds. Luke thanked the lady and I hid in the booth seats in total embarrassment.
Lucas grinned at the picture and showed me it.
I laugh, "Your camera sucks look at all the static in it", I tease making Luke roll his eyes.
"I'm still the sexy child."
"oh shut up!".
Smiling, I put the photo back down gently. I was glad we were able to print it out...before I lost everything I once...
Shaking my head. I looked back at the paper with clouded eyes. The only blood family I know of that are alive is my dad...and...I wouldn't classify him as family either.
Dads parents died at an early age and he was the only child...Mums parents were gone too, but I know she had an sister, April. Never got to meet her though and I don't even know where she is-
No point either. I don't want to drag her in this mess.
I groaned, faceplanting the paper making it crinkle slightly. What was I trying to achieve?.
I was trying to find a purpose. My purpose. The question still lingers in my trail of thoughts since that talk with Sunstreaker.
Speaking of which, I haven't really talked to them in a while...nor Tyler. huh. Tyler. Where was that goofy idiot?-
"Right here mate."
My head shot up at that, a yelp escaping my lips in surprise. I stared at the Australian that leant on the wall with a smug expression.
"Yano, Ya shouldn't mutter your thoughts outloud. I know I am sexy and all-", I threw a pencil at the black hairee male, that quickly dodged it.
"Shut up!.", Blushing furiously, I quickly went to defend myself, "I wasn't thinking like that!."
"Ahuh. Sure. Admit it, You can't resist these good looks.", Tyler flexed his arm whilst wiggling his eyebrows.
A laugh escaped my lips at that, "You're an idiot. You know that?"
Tyler grinned at me, "Yea, But I am your idiot.", He winked jokingly.
Rolling my eyes at his sense of humour, the smilr on my face didn't fade, "yeah yeah Wannabe Prince Charming, what do you want?"
Tylers laughter echoed the room, "Wannabe Prince Charming?. I gotta tell ya, You wish I had shaggy blonde hair-", Tyler shook his hair around madly in a mocking gesture, "-and blue eyes, but thats Sideswipes job."
"Hey!. I heard that!.", I looked at the door in surprise at the sound of Sideswipes voice outside my room.
"Speak of the devil.", Tyler muttered, making Sideswipe scoff. "Sideswipe and Sunstreaker are heading out. I am going with them, You wanna join?.", Tyler asked with a raised eyebrow.
"oh?. where are we going?", I started packing up my drawing stuff at that.
"Out.", Tyler shrugged, making me look at the soldier.
"oh right. next time I ask, I will know we are going out.", I said in dry sarcasm, making Tyler chuckle at me.
"-and how long are we going OUT for Soldier Boy?.", I demand cheekily, jumping to my feet to grab a small backpack to stuff a jumper in it just incase I got cold.
"Eh long enough."
I paused and looked over my shoulder with a disappointed expression, "really?."
"what?.", Tyler said defensively.
"I am sure you cannot be anymore specific. Like point out the obvious why don't you Tyler. Gosh.", I sassed away, putting my backpack on and exiting the room with an amused Tyler on my tail.
"I can't help that you Americans don't understand what the hell I am saying!.", Tyler smirke as I shook my head at the smart ass male. We walked up to the Twins that had moved to the exit of the base.
"Okay Sides, Sunstreaker. We are ready to rock and roll!.", Tyler boasted making the Twins nod their helms in excitement, before they transformed swiftly in their forms.
Tyler hopped in Sideswipes form, as I hopped in Sunstreakers. For the door to close shut instantly as I sat down, the seatbelt to swiftly strap me in tight.
We were ready to go, before I remembered-
"Wait!, shouldn't I inform Optimus where I am going?. He has asked me to do so. So he knows where I am.", I blabbered out quickly for Sunstreaker to tsk and drive off anyway.
I yelped at the unexpected speed, I was never going to get used to how fast they drive.
"I take that as a No.", I muttered.
"Smart Squishy.", Sunstreaker told me.
"I don't know if that is a compliment or not.", I replied unsure, for Sideswipe to race off, Sunstreaker followed.
"Reason we are not telling Prime is because he doesn't like it.", Sideswipes voice suddenly appeared, "ya see...he is very strict with the laws on this Planet..."
This made my eyes widened, "wow wait. hold up. We are breaking laws!?. What are we doing?.", I panic slightly
"Grand Theft Auto Baby~ We are going racing!.", Sideswipe exclaimed with much excitment.
I went to protest madly- for Sunstreakers sigh to cut me off, "This is why we didn't wanna tell you till we left cause your a pussy.", Sunstreaker grumbled.
I stared blankly at Sunstreakers steering wheel. "Oh I am so sorry for not wanting to go to Jail Sunstreaker.", I stated sarcastically, making the frontliner to snort.
"It's fineee!", Sideswipe dragged the word, "We always did this with Luke!, he is the one that introduced us to it actually!. We never got caught!."
"Unbelievable!.", I threw my hands in the air in disbelief, before leaning back in the comfortable leather seats and staring ahead.
"This better be a damn good race."
"Is that a challenge?.", both twins spoke at the same time in amusement.
"Damn right.", I snapped, failing to hold back my own excitment.
"You are so on!."
More like I am in so much introuble.
