Fife Lake, MI Summer, July 22
Abbey looked around at everyone, observing the humans quietly. Her earphones were wedged into her ears and she wasn't really doing much but sitting under a shade tree on the shore and listening to her iPod. It was a good day; not too hot, not too many ugly people on the beach. She was wearing her teeny-weeny itsy-bitsy yellow polka dot bikini with a cover over it, making sure not to show off her figure to any of the human males. Some of them disgusted her with their stupid pickup lines and thier dumb jokes. Then again, some of them were quite adorable, for humans.
As the song switched from Kerosene to Cowgirls Don't Cry, Abbey clicked the fast forward button. She didn't feel like listening to B&D right now. Finally arriving at the right song she hit the play button and turned it up. A little Owl City never hurt anyone. Abbey closed her blue eyes and became absorbed in her music, picking it out piece by piece. She had already memorized most of the transitions, dynamics, and other things of most of Beethoven's music so she'd been working on the modern day kind. Her life revolved around music and working with giant robots.

((OOC: well here goes my contribution, nice one by the way 'Speed! )) Fife Lake, MI Summer, July 22Well Army Captain Riley Haile was walking around a small village called Fife Lake, and after grabbing something to eat from the local village store she was now heading back to where her Metallic Blue with twin white racing stripes '09 Dodge Viper sat in the parking lot of the local Ice Cream parlor.
What no one knew here was that her car wasn't really just a car, it was her Guardian: an Autominous Robotic Organism from a planet further out in the known Galaxies, Cybertron - thus making them Cybertronian’s. But they were know as Autobots for short - the good guys, and Decepticons - the bad guys who were bent on world destruction and such like.
As she made it back to her Guardian whose name was Sunstar or 'Star to those who knew her well, she turned and leaned against the Drivers door lightly and licked at her Mint Choc-chip Ice cream cone - it was a blistering 97 degrees right now and it wasn't even mid-day yet - about 10:47am according to her Spec-Ops watch."So see or hear anything 'Star? or are we just wasting out time here and the energy signatures were false." came her question to the car.
'Star had to admit that she was suprised at the question Riley had posed, but quickly activated her Holoform and climbed out of the passenger door to look at Riley over the top of the vehicle."We didn't waste any time here Riley and you know it, anyway I picked up a signal nearby that we both know of - Abbey is near here, under one of the trees by the Lake no doubt and if she is here then that means that Dogfight is here too, only I have no idea where he was going to hide himself out here - too open for a big aft fighter jet to hide properly" came her Guardians response, as she looked around keeping an optic or two out on the crowd about them.
Seeing as it was summer here and it was getting to be quite busy since the heat started a couple weeks ago, everyone and their pets had been making it down to the lake to swim or just plain cool off, didn't mean that the Guardian couldn't relax, just that she couldn't relax all the way. Especially since the Decepticons had been getting more active since Megatron's revival in '09 and the defeat of the Fallen in Egypt, thanks to Sam Witwicky.
They had been sent here because a couple of Decepticon signals had been picked up by Blaster via Satellite and that meant trouble for the 'bots. Prime had sent just them because they were well enough able to protect themselves if the time arose for a fight - both were crack shots with their preferred weapons, and Prime thought it ironic that a Human Sniper was paired up with an Autobot Sniper, Ironhide just laughed outright and poor Lennox had just about run for his office at the thought of Riley with yet another trigger happy Cybertronian - one was enough in his mind and now there were quite a few.
But back to the matter at hand, 'Star and Riley both looked at each other and nodded, then grabbing what they needed from the vehicle they wandered around trying to pick out Abbey. Any info she had at this point in time would be a good thing, maybe they could get her and Dogfight to make it back to Garcia with them this time for some down time.

Abbey was tempted to go after a paticularly delicious smelling human male but decided against it. Now wasn't the time to ruin her vegetarian-ness. Perhaps a coyote could quench her blood lust later. Maybe a bear. Who knew? Only time would tell. Abbey stood up and brushed herself off, wondering whether or not she should invest in a fake tan. It was summer and she was still deathly pale. Then again she could be considered as 'undead' by some people. Vampires weren't myths; just the ones in Twilight were.
Abbey walked down across the beach, meeting the gaze of many a male. She smiled to herself and continued, taking the shady path up along by the parking lot, right across from the ice cream shop. "This is a pleasant little town." It was a mumble to herself, a quiet little murmur that the uuntrained ear couldn't distinguish. Making it up by the road Abbey finally looked around and spotted a familiar face.
Removing the little earbuds from her ears she approached Riley quietly, a small smile appearing on her face. The blond placed her iPod in her pouch and stopped a few feet in front of the Captain. "Didn't expect to see you here." This wasn't said in a mean way, it was more of a friendly, open gesture. Abbey had nothing against Riley. She didn't seem to be a bad person. Abbey was the one to get along with, though. It was that moment when Abbey realized that the Viper must've been Sunstar. It was nice to know that she knew a few people here.

"Didn't expect to see you here."
Riley smiled back at Abbey as she heard her greeting, she was still as pale as ever, yet it didn't seem to phase the young males looking at her. Riley decided to ask her a few questions, since they were here.
"So have you guys picked up on any D-con signals any where? We were sent here because a couple of Decepticon signals had been picked up by Blaster via Satellite and that means trouble for the 'bots. Prime had sent just us because we were well enough able to protect ourselves and all our searching turned up zip, nadda.
'Star just stood behind Riley and watched the conversation as she proceded to scan the area from her vehicle mode. She opened up a Comm. link to Dogfight to see if he was nearby, she could do with chatting to one of her own kind for a while and still continue to be a Guardian to Riley.
Sunstar to Dogfight, come in Dogfight! I know you're here somewhere, but where and do you have any information on those Decepticon signals Blaster picked up?
She hoped that he answered and that they had some idea as to the Decepticons locations, they really needed to take these 'cons out before any more human got hurt.

"So have you guys picked up on any D-con signals any where? We were sent here because a couple of Decepticon signals had been picked up by Blaster via Satellite and that means trouble for the 'bots. Prime had sent just us because we were well enough able to protect ourselves and all our searching turned up zip, nadda."
Abbey listened patiently to what Riley had to say, thinking for a moment. "I haven't really heard anything. I took a lazy day." Abbey smiled and continued. "Though I'm sure that if you asked Dogfight he'd be able to tell you something. If not, then I don't know. It would be fun to go kick some D-con butt today, though." Abbey looked around, wondering if any little human was listening in to their conversation. Hopefully not, because Abbey had a habit of doing bad things to eavesdroppers. Very, very bad things.
Abbey looked over to Sunstar, wondering whether or not to talk to the 'bot. She decided it best just to stick with Riley for the time being, until she was spoke to first. That was the way that would be best, she decided. She hadn't really worked much with Sunstar and didn't really know Riley's guardian all that well.
I hear you, Sunstar. My current location is Camp Grayling. Haven't really gotten an exact location on the Decepticons, apparently that hasn't came in yet. I'll let you know when I get something, if anything, 'less you get it first.

((OOC: Oh dear lord, he sounds cute when you do Dogfight, kinda reminds me of a Southern Gentleman from an old romance western or something - keep him like that, it seems to work well! *grins* ))
I hear you, Sunstar. My current location is Camp Grayling. Haven't really gotten an exact location on the Decepticons, apparently that hasn't came in yet. I'll let you know when I get something, if anything, 'less you get it first.
'Star subtly nodded her head as she acknowledged the message from Dogfight, she had missed talking to him and to find that he was only about an hours drive away on the freeway she was pleased, at least Grayling was a Military base, unlike Cherry Capital, the main Airport for this part of Michigan - too many humans around that really didn't need to know about them.
She slowly walked on over to Riley and Abbey who had stopped with their conversation and were now looking out at the lake and the surrounding males - human Femmes could be rather confusing at times, whether they were alive or undead.
Sorry 'Star, but Abbey doesn't know of any D-cons around here, any luck with 'Fight? came Riley's response to Sunstar coming close enough where she didn't need to shout - that would be a bad thing with all these other humans around.
Nothing as of yet, Riley. But he has assured me that as soon as he picks anything up on his scanners and other sensors he will contact us immediatley. Have no fear, Dogfight will come through for us, of that I am sure. He is very reliable and can be counted on when it comes to taking out the Decepticons. was Sunstar's response.
Riley just nodded and sighed, well might as well make the most of the nice weather and company and take a well deserved break whilst they awaited Dogfight's analysis of his readings. Riley sat down under a nearby tree and leaned back reclining her head just enough to make her drowsey, it was sunny and hot out so it made sense that she would be feeling like this, she just hoped that nothing would happen to dispell the niceness of the day so far.
Sunstar watched as both Riley and Abbey sat down and dozed slightly, the weather was warm and she too could feel the effects of it on her Alt. Modes exterior - maybe a short recharge wouldn't be too bad, she would doze lightly enough to have her scanners set on high to pick up any trouble.

((OOC: My gosh. I didn't intend for him to sound like that! XD hmh but I'll try to keep him like that. A southern gentleman from a romance movie. You really have an imagination )) IC: Abbey decided to be a follower, she sat down with Riley and looked up. The stray clouds were slowly making their way over to the other side of the sky, passing slowly and seemingly taking their time. The vampire couldn't help being consumed by a peacful feeling. She kind of wanted to crawl up into a little ball and fall asleep, but she couldn't see that happening. She didn't need sleep, really. She had plenty of time to sleep later on in life. A scream came from the beach which made Abbey sit up abruptly and looked around, on red alert. Any scream that came from anyone put her in a little over protective type mood, wondering if there was trouble. It turned out to just be a little girl who was mad at her father due to the fact that she had to leave the beach. Next time he should just offer to buy her ie cream before they leave. Abbey sighed and lay back down. Some humans needed to think like little kids. Abbey began to think of the best way to get back to Dogfight. Hitching a ride with Riley and Sunstar probably wouldn't be that hard but she might actually just want to jack a car for herself. Then again, that would be a pain in the butt and kind of hard to do unless there was actually a car around here without an alarm system. Abbey smiled to herself and shook her head. That wouldn't be smart at all. Dogfight to Sunstar. Decepticons were shown to be somewhere north of Camp Grayling, in the Upper Peninsula. It may be best to have another here to help take them down; there seems to be at least three of them.

((OOC: You is an evil little girl - The U.P.? why there? - never mind caught me by supprise though and three of them annoying D-Cons? Ohhh Boy!!))
(IC)
Dogfight to Sunstar. Decepticons were shown to be somewhere north of Camp Grayling, in the Upper Peninsula. It may be best to have another here to help take them down; there seems to be at least three of them.
'Star snorted at the thought of three 'Cons running around the Upper Penninsular causing trouble, even if it was sparsely populated, it meant problems.
Roger that, 'Fight. I'll place a call through Blaster to Prime and request the Twins as back up, before we left base Ratchet said that they were chaffing for a fight, so we'll give them a chance to get it out of their systems by fighting the 'cons. We'll make our way to you and go from Camp Grayling, should only take a couple hours to get to the U.P. driving.
Riley looked at 'Star as she sat down beside her, and sighed. So what did Dogfight have to say since you were obviously chatting away on the Comm. Links. Do we need to head anywhere or can we head back to base? came Riley's question to the look 'Star was giving her.
We are needed to head to Camp grayling and from there to the U.P., three Decepticon signals have been traced to an area there, Dogfight also suggested that we request a couple more 'bots to help out, so I'm asking Blaster to forward the request to Prime for the Twins to join us - and don't worry I won't request the Minor Twins, don't think I could deal with those two for very long without trying to offline them, I'm requesting Sunny and 'Sides.
Riley breathed a sigh of relief at that revelation, and nodded that it was a great idea for Sunny and 'Sides to get here as back up, even she couldn't deal with Mudflap and Skids without trying to scrap them. She turned to Abbey and asked, Hey Abbey, you ready to head on out to Grayling and Dogfight? We'll give you a lift there to meet up with him, Sunny and 'Sides and then head on up to the U.P. where three 'Con signatures have been spotted.

((OOC: I had something good all written up and then, then, the computer screwed up. I hate technology. But your above comment was rather hilarious. )) IC: Hey Abbey, you ready to head on out to Grayling and Dogfight? We'll give you a lift there to meet up with him, Sunny and 'Sides and then head on up to the U.P. where three 'Con signatures have been spotted.Abbey listened to Riley and then decided that she wasn't going anywhere without changing. "I'll be back in a moment." With that the blond rushed down the hill, curls bouncing behind her. She went into the little outhouse thing by the fishing area and snatched up a delia's bag, replacing the bikini and cover-up with a pair of stone washed jeans with holes all over them and a forest green tank top with a picture of Bambi on the front. Abbey exited the building and walked back up to Riley and Sunstar. "It's kind of funny how the only thing in the Upper Peninsula is trees and wildlife. I wonder what the Decepticons are up to." Abbey shrugged and looked to Sunstar, admiring the color of the Autobot. "I'm ready when you are." Abbey said this to both Riley and Sunstar, thinking for a few minutes afterward. Was the blond supposed to sit shotgun? Was she supposed to get in before or after Riley? Abbey was confusing herself with the questions and stuck on something else to do. This was strange, a new experience for her. She had never really rode in an Autobot whose Alt-Mode was a land vehicle. She stuck with air crafts and such.... This was awkward.

Riley walked over to 'Star's Alt. Mode and waited for Abbey to get in, 'Star had already climbed into her form and switched off the Holoform leaving the car empty.
Hey what yas waiting for, Abbey? Get on in, we ain't got all day ya knows. came Riley's voice through Abbey's thoughts, Ya do know that 'Star has turned off her Holo. don't ya? which means that there is room for the pair of us to sit with no problem. Gotta admit though it is the only problem about two-seaters, can't carry no more than that. was Rileys quick explanation about how three of them were going to ride in a two-seater car. It wasn't long before both Riley and Abbey were sat in Sunstar's interior and headed towards Camp Grayling.
During the trip they listened to Owl City's 'Meteor' and a new song by a new band called Big Time Rush: 'I wanna be famous'. Both girls were singing away until 'Star had turned the music to something else that wouldn't hurt her audio's, something known as Take Another Road by Jimmy Buffett, which made Riley smirk - he was alright to listen to and the song was kinda appropriate.
We're almost to the base girls, you want to get your ID's ready for the guards at the gate? came 'Star's voice through the radio as they slowly approached the main gated enterance to Camp Grayling.

((lol this is entertaining!))
Abbey actually had rather enjoyed the ride, liking the whole 'riding in car that's actually a huge robot that makes things go boom' thing. It was actually kind of fun. When Sunstar said to get her ID ready she did, thinking for a moment. This little ID card went to a lot of different places, didn't it? Must be nice to travel all over the place and not have to do anything but lay around. Thinking of that Abbey began to wonder if it would be best to travel back to Germany someday and see some of her distant nieces and nephews, if any were still there.
As they pulled up to the gate they were allowed entrance after showing thier ID's, Abbey beginning to get ready to go kick some D-con butt. It was always fun to go and stop things that were ten times her size from wreaking havoc. Cyan eyes scanned the area, trying to spot the jet that was disguised as Dogfight. She did like working with the 'bot; he wasn't all that bad of a partner, after all. He was a bit dominated by his temper at times, sure, but he still wasn't all that bad.
Abbey exited Sunstar as soon as she laid eyes on Dogfight, a huge grin spreading across her face. She walked over to the huge ass plane and looked up, eyeing the masterpiece. Aircrafts were what she lived for; they were huge, flying things that were just so... exhilarating. Seeing a fighter jet was like seeing a marvelous car or a really hot guy. That was how it was and probably how it would be forever. Dogfight's holoform was kinda hot, too...

Riley just shook her head and laughed as she watched Abbey walk over to the Fighter Jet and walked around just admiring it, just when she thought she couldn't laugh any harder she was shocked to find she could, when she saw Abbey litterally jump up and hug, yes hug the nosecone of the jet.
She was laughing so hard at the picture that presented - photo worthy for bribary later she mused - that she didn't register the two powerful car engines coming up behind them, at least until one of them got rather upset at the scene.
Yo, 'Sides, what does that old fly bot have that we don't? came a rather pissy voice, one that Riley knew too well, Sunstreaker - The Major Twins had arrived, and earlier than planned it seemed as she rubbed the side of her brow with two fingers.
Working with either set of twins - Major or Minor - would guarante a huge migraine by the end of the mission. Riley made a mental note to stock up on the extra strength Advil liqui-gels, she was going to be needing them - soon.
Don't really know, bro. Could it be his personality? Nah, don't think it's that. Could it be because he can fly? who knows how a Femmes mind works, and right now I wanna go and kick some Decepticreep Afts! came another voice, definately the other twin - Sideswipe, also known as 'Sides by his Twin and friends. She turned and faced the two cars only to have her jaw drop as she glanced at their Holoforms....
...Sideswipe's had red hair whereas Sunstreaker's had blond, other than that you could tell they were Twins. Riley shook her head again to clear a couple of mental scenario's before talking to the Twins.
Huh, so the terrible twosome show up, about time and just like you 'Star and I are wanting to get our own back on those 'Cons up in the Upper Penninsular. So just cool your boosters and behave or I'll talk to Ratchet and have him turn the pair of you into Femmes or worse a couple of Porta-loos! she threatened. The twins just balked when they heaard that, especially since they knew what Porta-loos were.
She turned back and yelled out to Abbey. Yo, Abbey, get over here and meet the Twins again. It's been a while since you last saw them and they now have better Alt. Modes, they are no longer the Lambo Twins. she smirked at the sounds of huffing and puffing coming from the Twins as they tried to sound indignant, but Riley knew they were much happier being a pair of 2010 Chevy Corvette Stingray Concepts, in shocking Metallic Gold and Silver, huh Sideswipe isn't his classic red paint scheme, only 'Sunny' is his classic color. she smiled as Abbey came closer and tried to ignore the look tha Dogfight's Holoform was giving the Twins - he was pissed at them, not good.

((Imagines how hot the young Johnny Depp looked when he was pissed. I don't care if he is old, he's still hot )) Abbey enjoyed working with an Aerial Autobot, Dogfight was a good partner and liked kicking the crap out of things, similar to the blonde. She couldn't help it. As Abbey pretty much sashayed her way back over to Riley and the twins. Pulling her hair back she forced a smile and nodded for no apparent reason. "Hello." It was straight forward and to the point. Hopefully she wouldn't get annoyed today; that wouldn't be very fun. Abbey studied the twins holoforms; they were young, muscular, and pretty good looking. Then again Dogfight's was too; a Johnny Depp look alike normally won in the looks department if a certain blonde vampire held the competition. Abbey smirked at the thought, hoping no one could read minds. She had heard many stories about the Major Twins, knowing that they could be awful annoying and troublesome. This would be an interesting day, for sure. Dogfight remained silent, his holoform staring at the twins. To be truthful he didn't know what to say, if anything. Hopefully they would only be there for a little while. Two much time spent with annoying twin Autobots was enough to make him 'grumpy' for the rest of the century. Hopefully it would all be over with soon. It would be good to go out and demolish some Decepticons, though. It would relieve some... stress.

Riley was smirking and trying rather hard not to laugh at the way Abbey had sashayedher way over to the Twins, and the look of pure repulsiveness that Dogfight was givening them. She left Sunstar's side and wandered over to the Flyer and patted his Holoform's arm in a sign of comfort.Hey don't worry about the Twins, 'Fight. They know better than to try anything with Abbey, they know that she's yours. And remember that Sunstreaker doesn't really like us Humans that much, his brother does though but he wouldn't do anything stupid.Riley looked at Dogfight the whole time she talked to him knowing that that Sunstar would watch the Twins for any problems that could occur. After she patted Dogfights arm once more she turned and headed on over to the Twins to give them a chewing out.
She was still mad about the prank they pulled on her when she was last on Diego Garcia and they filled the shower head with fluerescent Chartreuse coloring that took weeks to get rid of.
Although Ratchet actually found it somewhat funny, until a wrench - one of his own - hit him on the foot, with a somewhat irrate Riley looking at him and Prowl. Poor Prowl was trying to not glitch his processor again, and only just succeded.
Now she was going to deal with them in her own special way, with a little back up from Sunstar. Revenge was a dish best served cold, and after this they were going to be dealing with three Decepticons, so she couldn't hurt them too awful, just humilliate them if she could get away with it.
She had a couple of sticky bumper stickers in her bag that she had on her left shoulder that were about to get used.((OOC: Got any ideas as to what the stickers could say?!?)) Attachments:

((My ideas. Teaching band tunes me on. If I wanted to hear from an asshole I'd fart. Gun control means using both hands. Big truck, Little willy? Jesus loves you. Everyone else thinks you're an asshole. Will have sex for beer. If farting is an art then I'm Picasso. I suffer from C.R.S. Can't remember shit. Yield to the Princess. Fish tremble at the sound of my name. I'm hung like Einstien. And smart as a horse. CAUTION: Blonde thinking. I wanna be just like Barbie. That bitch has everything. I'm not losing hair. I'm getting head. I'm great in bed. I can sleep ALL night. BACK OFF! I'm gunna fart. This car is a status symbol. It signifies how poor I am. Niagra falls, but Viagra rises. I'm retired. Go around me. I'm a devil doing a half-assed job. Don't tailgate me or I'll flick a booger on your window. ))
Dogfight's holoform raised an eyebrow toward Riley. I'm telling you, Riley, it's not Abbey I'm worried about. She'll be fine. It's dumb and dumber that I'm truly worried about. Annoying little things. Dogfight grinned and looked back to the twins and Abbey. The vampiric girl was way stronger than she looked; harsher too. She could be a complete witch when she wanted to be. But maybe, just maybe, things would work out okay and no one of the Autobot alliance would hurt another.
Abbey eyed the twins holoforms carefully, wondering why they chose to be so good looking. After all, she had heard from others that they were pranksters, that they were annoying. So far it wasn't all that bad. She could only imagine how bad it would be later. For some reason Abbey failed to 'take a joke' and decided to freak out on someone. It was an old friend that told her 'Freak Out' should be her theme song. Abbey had replied by saying 'I Get Around' should be her friend's.
It wasn't like to girl to just turn away and meander back over to Dogfight, but she couldn't stand silence. She thought that it was about time to get a move on and kick some decpeticon butt. Dogfight was perfect for the job. "So, Riley, whaddya say we.. roll out?" Abbey slapped on a friendly smile and stood over by Dogfight's holoform. Damn, did she need to marry Johnny Depp. Too bad he was taken. Sighing she began to think about getting into a G-suit to look like a normal human. She decided not too; it wasn't like gravity could affect her that much anyways.
Abbey smiled and pulled her hair up into a ponytail, still smiling. Her eyes were visibly brighter, probably because she was getting hungry. If Riley ticked her off she may just be lunch. Naw, she couldn't do that. Good friends don't suck a friends blood. That was just wrong. Perhaps a visit to the blood bank or a fresh bear would do. As long as no one watched her do it. Vegetarian animals, and humans, tasted like crap. The carniverous ones were the delicious ones.
