More then meets the eyes.

How unlucky can a girl get?My first day of school my dad was nice enough to give me a lift since I was going to be late; nice, right? Wrong. My dad drives a pickup truck, the kind u'd see a farmer driving. So now people call me a hick, farm girl, and loser. I've forbidden dad from driving me anywhere from now on. I won't even touch that truck after what being seen in it did to my rep. My mom drives a SUV, so I'm willing to borrow it or be driven in it. However my dad tells me it's time to get my own car. And that is where the trouble starts.
My dad drives me to the car lot and waits by the SUV while I hunt for my car. "Anything to ur liking?" Asks the sales person. "I'm just looking. I've already checked out two other car dealers so I thought I'd give this one a try." I tell them. "Ah, a tricky costumer. I've seen many like u before my dear." "How so?" "U don't know the car u want, yet u know u'll know it when u see it. Trust me, there are many like u around." I can't help but smile at them. After another minute of car hunting I go to leave, thinking that one car I'd like isn't here; then I see it. "Oh my god! Dad come see this!" I call as I run up to it. (Though it's covered in mud) My dad walks over and whistles. "Now that is a car." He comments. "Ahh, u have a good eye there my dear. This little baby only needs a washing and then she's fit for the road. A steal at 700$." I look at the sales person in shock. "Are u kidding me? Dad please!" I beg. My dad laughs. "Alright Tear. U can have her." He saids. I jump for joy and get in. "Oh baby are we gonna turn heads." I say to it. I run my hand along the steering wheel and notice that it too is covered in mud. Wiping it off I see this: . "Interesting." I say before my dad taps on the window, holding my keys up. I roll down the window, tell my dad I love him, and take the keys. Hearing her purr is music to my ears. I drive her home and give her a good bath. Boy is she beautiful when clean.
The next morning when I drive her to school I get a lot of surprised looks. And even a few invites to parties. "So where'd u get her?" Asked this one guy that caught my eye. "Well, I went car hunting with my dad and stumbled upon her being ignored by the world just because she was muddy." I tell him. "Wow, u must have been looking for a long time Tear." I was shocked that he knew my name. "Not really Mark. It was my third car lot hunt." I tell him. He opens the driver side and looks at me. I nod and get in the passenger side. "Wow, I love this." He saids, point to the mark on the steering wheel. "What is it for?" He asks looking at me. "I don't really know. It was just there when I bought her." He nods and takes hold of the steering wheel. "This is a great car." "Thanks." Mark smiles at me and I smile back. We start to lean in for a kiss, when some how the car shakes. "What the?" Asks Mark. "I don't know." I look around the car and look for anyone that might have jumped on the car or something. But there's no sign of anyone. We both get out. "Weird. Why did the car suddenly shake?" I ask myself. "Maybe I hit the gas petal or something. U never know while these kind of cars." Saids Mark. "I guess u're right." The bell goes, so I lock my car and walk with Mark into school.

After school I drove around and picked up a few things I needed, both for school and for the party that night. I picked up a sweet dress. it wasn't too short, but it showed off my curves perfectly. I drove home and took a quick bath. After a fast supper I put on my dress along with some black heels and a little eyeliner plus lip gloss. When I get down stairs my mom makes sure I have my cell phone and that I know to call every two hours. After saying my byes to them I get in and head out to the woods where the party is being held. There were a lot of people there. Mark was leaning against his truck , and when he saw me he walked up and took my hand. "I didn't think u'd be here." He said before walking me over to the fire. "U look great." He comments. I blush. "Thanks. U look pretty good urself." We start talking for a while, till the drinks begin to get passed around. Mark and I took a walk, not wanting to join in on getting drunk. But all the time I was walking with him I felt like someone was following us. But I couldn't tell where they were. "U know Tear, I've kind of had my eye on u since ur first day of school." "R-really?" I blush. "Yeah. I like u. And now that I know u, I know it's not a mistake to ask u if u'll be my girlfriend." My face must have been glowing from my blushing. [He's asking me already? Oh god yes!] "I love to." He leans in to kiss me when a car horn cuts through the air. "What the?!" I ask as I look around. For some odd reason my car is parked not that far from me with the head lights on. "How did ur car get here?" Asks Mark as we walk up to it. "I don't know." I place my hand on the hood and find it's warm. "Someone drove my car here and ran off?" I ask as I go to the door and try to open it; but the doors are locked and there's no sign that anyone broke in. "This is weird." Saids Mark. "Agreed. No one's broken into my car, the doors locked, and the engine's warm. How could anyone drive my car this far with out braking a window or anything to get in and then just leave it here after honking the horn?" I ask in confusion. "I don't know. But it is getting late. The party's most likely about to be broken up by the cops. So how bout a lift back to my truck?" Mark asks with a smirk. "Get in." I say as I unlock the doors. I drive him back and we say our goodbyes. "So I'll see u around?" He asks. "Yeah." I give him my cell number and he gives me his. "Maybe we can catch a movie sometime." He suggest. I nod. "Night Tear." "Night Mark." I give him a kiss on the cheek and then drive home. But as I do so the radio comes on and I hear a female voice saying, "I don't trust him." I stare at the radio. "Whatever. Like I'm going to listen to what my car radio saids." I say, rolling my eyes. "U can do better then him Tear." I slam on the brakes and stare in pure shock and horror at the radio. "U know my name and u hear me?" I ask it. The radio shuts off and I switch it back on, but I can't find the voice again. Shaking it off I drive the rest of the way home.
I stand before the car, just staring at it; waiting for it to do something. I tried to pop the hood and see if anyone messed with my car, but for some odd reason it just wouldn't open for me. "Ok, let's cut the crap. U and I both know u're not a normal car. So why don't ya drop the act already?" I ask it. It just sits there, like a good car is suppose to do. "I know I'm not going crazy. So say something. I dare u." "Honey?" Called my mom form the door way. "Yeah." I call back. "Are u coming in?" She asks. I turn and head for the door. "Yeah. Just a little out of it." I tell her. "What happened?" Not wanting to freak her out I tell her something that is the truth. "Mark asked me to be his girlfriend." She thinks for a moment before smiling. "That guy u have a crush on?" I nod. "Oh honey that's great. U sure u're not moving too fast?" I laugh. "We spent a few hours getting to know one an other. How ever I don't think my car likes him." "Ur car doesn't like him?" I laugh, making it seem like a joke. She chuckles a little and we go inside.

I wake up to the sound of an engine in the middle of the night. Looking out my window I see my car with it's head lights on, parked near the end of the drive way. I had parked near the house, so I know someone, or rather something had moved it. Putting on my slippers and robe I go outside and look in the window. Sure enough no one's in it. I open the door and get in; however as I'm about to back it up, the seatbelt slips it's self around me and my car starts moving at high speed away from my house. "What the hell!" I yell as I tug at the belt. "Calm down Tear, I'm not going to hurt u." Saids the Radio. "U again? What do u want?" I ask it. "U wanted to know the truth about me, didn't u?" It asks me. I nod. "Then we must go somewhere where other humans won't see us." Wondering what it meant by that I sit back and wait as it drives me out to the woods. As it stops the door opens and the seatbelt lets me go. "Alright Tear. Time to answer ur question." I get out and stand before it. "How? I asks. The next thing I know, my car is changing before my eyes. Soon standing in it's place is a large silver and white robot that easily passes the tree tops in height. "Oh my god." I say in shock. It knlees down. "Do not be afraid Tear. I am an Autobot; I have no wish to harm u or any human." It, which I'm guessing is female do to it's appearance and voice saids. "Then what are u doing here?" I ask her. "My name is Silverstar. A year ago I crashed to earth. My memory was damage in the crash, so I had to spend some time trying to recover it. By that time u had bought me." "So why didn't u leave?" Though she didn't have a mouth, I could tell she was smiling. "I like u. I didn't want to leave u after u were so happy to have me as ur car." I can't but smile. "U're not that bad for a machine." I comment. "And u're not bad for a human." We laugh. "Are their others like u?" I ask. "Yes. I've been trying to contact them, but I've had no luck." "Anything I can do help to out?" "No. I just need to keep trying. One of these days I'm going to make contact with Optimus." I tile my head. "Who?" "Optimus Prime. He's the leader of the Autobots. I've been trying to reach him." I nod. "Is that why u drove out so far into the woods?" "Partly." "And the other part?" She rubs the back of her head. "Well, I saw u walking away with that male." I throw my hands up and say, "I knew it!" as I turn around. "Tear I just don't want anything bad happening to u." She saids in her defense. "So now it's ur say who I go out with?" I demand. "It's not like that Tear. I detected something off about his truck. Something about it isn't normal." "What do u mean?" "I think his truck may be a Decepticon." "A what?" "The Decepticons are the enemies of the Autobots. We have been at war with them for sometime now." "And u brought that war to earth?" I ask in shock. "No no no! The Decepticons did. The Autobots merely followed. We did not wish for our battle to end up on ur world." I sigh. "Yet these things happen. Come on Silverstar. Let's get home before my mom freaks out or something." She turns back into a car and drives me home. "Is there anyway to know for sure if it's a Decepticon?" I asks, rubbing the side of my head. "Only one way while in this form." "And that is?" "It will have a mark somewhere." "What likes ur's?" "No. A Decepticon's mark is different from that of an Autobot's." I nod. All I had to do was get Mark to let me look over his Truck. Easy? Maybe.

"Hey Tear!" Called Mark as I got out of Silverstar once we drove to town. I waved at him. Silverstar slammed the door shut. "Knock it off." I tell her before walking over to him. "Did u sleep well last night?" He asked me. "Yeah. Though I had this weird dream about my car turning into a giant robot and it talking about Autobots and Decepticons. How weird is that?" I ask him. His face drops for a moment, and then he laughs. "Very weird." [Oh no. He knows something about this?] "Say, mind if I check out ur truck?" I ask. "Sure. Hop in." I got to the driver's side and get in. Taking a glance at the steering wheel I almost sigh in relief at the lack of marking on it. "I like this." I comment, running a hand along the seat. "I know. That's one of the things I like about Metalfist. He's got great seats that are comfortable to the max." I smile at him and continue looking around, then something clicks. "Metalfist?" I ask him. I swear I heard him mumble "Shit!" before he turned and smile at me. "Oh come on. A truck like this needs a name. Haven't u named ur car?" I smile. "Silverstar." "Silverstar? Sweet." I blush. "Want to catch a movie tonight? They're showing Raise of the Silver Surfer." I think about this, then nod. "Sure." "Great. I'll meet u at the theater at 7:30. Ok?" I nod and get out. I give Mark a kiss on the cheek and say bye before returning to Silverstar. "Well?" She asks as I get in. "Nothing. But Mark referred to it as Metalfist. Mean anything to u?" "I'm not sure." "Well listen, Mark asked me out to the movies, so while I'm with him, u can check Metalfist for urself. U know what u're looking for." "Alright. Just take care. If it is a Decepticon then he's working for them." "I'll take care. Any luck with Optimus?" I asks, waving as we drive pass Mark. "Nothing." I sigh in annoyance. [What happened to the normal life I had?]
When we got home Silverstar complained about her engine. So I had her pop her hood. I stared for a moment at the alien machinery that makes up Silverstar's insides. "Are u sure about this Tear?" She asks me. "How tough can it be?" I ask, feeling a little nervous about messing with her like this. I was glad my parents weren't there, who knows what they'd say at the site of this kind of stuff in my car. I reach in and start looking for the problem. Of course I had no idea what I was looking for to begin with, so that made it hard for me. "Are u sure about this?" She asked. "Nope." I said as my hand landed on something. A strange jolt when through my body and into my brain before I was thrown into the garage door. "TEAR?!" Silverstar cried as she close her hood and drove up to me. I twitched a few times before my eyes opened and I gave out a moan of pain. "Tear are u alright?" "I think so Silverstar." "Let's get u to a hospital, just to be safe." So i got in and let her drive me to the hospital.
"So what happened?" Asked the doctor. "I was fixing my car when I got this shock." I explain. The doctor nodded his head. "Well it doesn't sound like anything to worry about, but I'd like to do a run some test just to be safe." I agree to them. After some blood work and a psychical, the doctor tells me he wants to scan my brain. I agree, thinking nothing of it. But after the scan the doctor shows me something that worries me. "Some how, parts of ur brain have become active." He tells me, showing me my brain on a computer. "What does this mean?" I ask. "Well I'd like to run a few more test before I answer that." "No. I've got a date tonight and I need to go." The doctor sighs and thinks for a moment. "Alright. How about we continue the test tomorrow?" I agree to this and leave. But as I get in the elevator Silverstar's voice appears in my mind. [I hope Tear's alright. I'll never forgive myself if anything happened to her.] [Silverstar?] [Tear?! How is this possible?] [I don't know. Maybe that jolt to my brain connected us some how.] [Our minds have been linked? How?] [From what the doctor told me my brain is more active then any other brain around. This must be a side effect of it.] [Interesting. Are u coming back now?] [Yes. But tomorrow I have to come back and let the doctor run some more tests.] [Alright.] I get of the elevator and walk out the door. Silverstar is being checked out by some guys. "Oh baby do I want to park u in my drive way." Saids one of the guys as they run a hand along her hood. "I'd never get out of her. "Saids another. "Sorry boys" They jump and look at me. "She's not for sale." I finish. "U own this hot little number?" Asked the one with his hand on her. "Yeah. She's my ride." I answer. "I'll pay u whatever u want for her." Saids the other guy. "Sorry boys. I'm attached to her in more ways then one. She honks her horn, making the guys back away. I chuckle as i go to the driver's side and Silverstar opens her door for me. Waving to the guys we drive off.
"Damn this thing!" I nearly laugh as my dad gets mad at the computer once again. "Hitting it won't do any good." I tell him. "I had all my files ready to go on disk and now it picks to crash on me!" He saids. "Let me see." I say as I turn it towards me. As I touch it I feel a little jolt and suddenly my mind starts filling with all the data from the computer. I place my hand next to the screen and see the computer reacting to my touch. The screen begins to flash with files before the computer stops and only dad's files are left, down loading onto the disk. I make it look like I'm typing a few things in and then I turn it back to dad. "There u go!" I cheer with a smile. "U are a wiz at this stuff." My dad smiles. I walk away, going over the files my dad was working on in my head. [Why is dad working on military stuff? I thought he quit long ago.] This bugs me greatly, but I keep the files with in a thoughts reach of me. It's weird, all the files from my dad's computer; his pics, music, and every file with in it now is copied and stored with in my head. I go to mom's computer and put my hand on it. The same thing happens; all mom's files enter my mind. "Again?" I ask myself as I stand there. "Honey, are u ok?" Asks my mom. [She too has be working on military stuff. But both of them told me they quit long ago. Mom when she learned she was carrying me, and dad around my 10th birthday. They lied to me.] "I'm fine mom. Just looking for a disk I lost somewhere." I then pick up a blank disk, that I knew my mom wouldn't remember having and show her it. "Found ya!" I cheer with a smile. "Alright dear. Mr. Felix of next door told me that something happened with ur car today. He said u were thrown into the garage door when u tried to fix ur car." "Oh that. It turned out nothing was wrong, just was sore for a while." I tell her. "How do u know?" "I spoke with a doctor and they ran test. I'm fine." "Alright dear. Suppers in five minutes." My mom then left the room and went back to the kitchen. [Silverstar, I'm coming out to talk to u.] I then head outside, pocking the disk. I get in her and lean back. "What's wrong?" She asks. "I think I'm a technopath." I tell her. "A what?" She ask. "A technopath. It means I can do stuff with machines and my mind." "What gives u that idea?" U sigh. "Apart from the fact that I fixed my dad's computer just by touching it and then there's the fact that I've got the files of both dad's and mom's computers in my head." "U mean to say u've downloaded the files into ur brain?!" "No. They downloaded them selves." "So our minds are linked and now u can fix any machine with ur mind along with download files into ur brain?" I nod. "All this from one little jolt from me? Wow, humans are interesting." "How so." Well, normally stuff like this doesn't happen. I've never heard of anyone getting these kind of abilities from a shock they got from an Autobot." I can't help but smile. "Cool. I'm one of a kind." I smirk. I run through the files a few times before asking something. "U know anything bout something called Megatron?" I question. "He is the leader of the Decepticons. Where did u hear his name?" Silverstar's tone is enough to worry me. "My mom and dad are working on something that involves him and the military. However both of them told me they stopped working for the military long ago." "And now u're mad at them." "They lied to me. Why did they lie? They could've told me." "Maybe there were scared u wouldn't accept them working for the military again and that u'd get mad like u are now." U know she's right. "Alright Silverstar. I better go in and get cleaned up before dinner's ready." I get out and start walking. "Tear." I turn back to her. "I hope things work out between u and Mark." I raise a brow. "I thought u didn't trust him." I point out. "If he turns out to be a good guy after all, then I look forward to seeing him around u more often." I smile. "Thanks. I do too." I then head in and wash up. I don't say anything about what I've learned to my parents. [Since they work for the military I had best keep Silverstar from them. Last thing I need is for them to turn her over to them.] After dinner I get in Silverstar and we go to the theater. "U take care Silverstar." I tell her before walking towards Mark's truck. "Hey." I smile. "Hey." He saids back as he slides an arm around my waist. We go inside.

~with Silverstar~
I carefully drive up to the truck, looking it over. "Hey!" I whisper to it. "Hm?" I hear it say. "Name's Silverstar." I tell it. "Metalfist." "Well Metalfist tell me, are u an Autobot or a Decepticon?" "U tell me first." I sigh. "Autobot." "Same friend. How long u been on earth?" "A year. I had to recover my memory." "Tell me something; does that girl that drives u like Mark?" "Oh yes. It is clear that she does." "Good. Mark won't stop talking about her. Does she know about u?" "Yes. What about Mark?" "He knows. We've been together for nearly four months now." "Me and Tear have been together for a week. Have u heard anything from Optimus?" "No. I was hoping u had." I sigh. "Looks like we're both out of luck." "At least we're not alone anymore." [He's flirting with me!] I realize in shock.
~with me~
The movie was great. "I loved the wedding at the end. I so want a wedding like that; only without skipping any parts." I say. "I liked the part where Reed go a major case of rubber legs at the thought of getting married." Mark laughed. I giggled and noticed that Silverstar had parked herself next to Metalfist. [So?] I ask her. [He's an Autobot!] She cheers. [Does Mark know?] [Yes.] I smile. "Hey Mark." "Yes Tear?" "Follow me." I get in Silverstar and start driving. Mark and Metalfist follow me. We get to the woods and I get out, smiling at Mark. "What are we doing here?" He asks once out of Metalfist. [Transform Silverstar.] Silverstar does so. Mark's jaw drops as he stares at her. Then he turns to me and saids, "Metalfist transform." His truck becomes a black and silver robot just a little taller then Silverstar. "Looks like there's more then meets the eyes with our rides." I say with a smirk. "How long?" Asked Mark. "Not long. A week tops." "Nice to meet u Mark, I am Silverstar." She tells him. "And I'm Metalfist." He tells me. Me and Mark smile.
Wow! U and Mark are not only in love, but u both have Autobots! SWEET!!!!!!
