He was driving. No this wasn't one of those every once in a while joyrides...this was a drive to escape.

"Optimus is dead...he's gone, all that's left is his matrix. What are we gonna do now? We need you Optimus." That's what was going through Sideswipe's head at the moment. He had suffered greatly at the loss of the Autobot's leader. Though everyone seemed to think he pretty much worshipped Blurr and Hotshot he also had an undying love for their leader Optimus Prime.

"I mean," he thought. "Who would've taken in a no good fighter but okay code cracker in a war like this?" Suddenly he stopped driving. "Where am I?" He was in a forest; the leaves on the trees were just starting to change colors. The forest looked like it was stuck between the times...one half of the trees were the normal green color and the others were red, orange, yellow, brown, or pink.

"Transform!" he yelled as he looked at the multi colored leaves. "Oh wow! These are so beautiful." He was astounded, the trees reached well over his head. "This is one of the many reasons why I love the Earth."

Suddenly he heard running water. He walked in the direction of the sound and saw a nice little stream running through a patch of clover just big enough for a Transformer to sit in. He sighed. "It's so nice here. I think I'll just sit here and rest for a little while."

A girl with long waist length brown hair, grey eyes, wearing a blue shirt with one black stripe in the middle, with blue jeans, and white tennis shoes was walking along a stream near her home. She did this often enough that she could find her way home if she just happened to get lost in the forest.

She heard something then that scared her almost to death. "What the heck is that?" she asked herself. "There it is again..." She started walking again and ended up in a patch of clover.

She uncovered her ears because she had gotten used to the sound. "You know that's kind of peaceful sounding..." she thought to herself. She looked in the direction of the sound and almost fainted.

"Oh my god..." It was a giant robot. A giant sleeping, snoring, kinda cute looking robot. "Wait, " she thought. "did I just think he, er uh it was cute? I think I'm going crazy."

The next thing she knew it was opening it's eyes in a half awake type way and yawning. "Uh oh." Areia said as the giant robot looked down at her.

"Um hi I'm Areia, please don't kill my I'm not going to do anything to hurt you. Although I should be more worried about me I think."

Meanwhile...

"Where's Sideswipe?" Asked Hotshot as he came into the control room where all the Autobots and kids were surrounding the monitor while Red Alert was typing away trying to find his coordinates.

"I'm still looking for him Hotshot. He's been gone for about 8 hours now." said Red Alert not looking away from the terminal.

"I hope he's okay." said Hoist looking a little worried.

"Yeah," thought Hotshot. "I hope so too..."

"So you're fighting against the Decepticon's for control of the Minicons right Sideswipe?" asked Areia to make sure she got the facts straight.

"Yep we want to make them our equals and only use their purposes when we have to." Sideswipe and Areia had been talking for 4 hours and had gotten to know each other very well. After some somewhat shy introductions, Sideswipe had told Areia about the Autobot's and their mission to rectify the Minicons. In turn, Areia had told him quite a bit about herself even the type of music she liked.

"Wow what a noble purpose!" said Areia as she started thinking. Suddenly she heard a faint beeping noise. "What's that Sideswipe?" she asked looking around.

"Oh that's my communicator hold on. Sideswipe here!"

"Sideswipe where are you!" came Red Alert's voice over Sideswipe's communicator.

"Who's that?" asked Areia.

"Oh that's just Red Alert." answered Sideswipe.

"Huh? Sideswipe what was that other voice just now." asked Red Alert.

"Uh, well Red Alert you see I've met a...well I've met a friend." said Sideswipe as he glanced at Areia.

"This friend wouldn't happen to be a human would it Sideswipe?" asked Red Alert.

"Um actually yes she is...b-but don't worry she promised she wouldn't tell anybody about us!" added Sideswipe hastily, afraid of getting in trouble by his superiors.

Red Alert sighed, "Alright since she's met you you might as well bring her to the base to meet the rest of us. Red Alert out." There was a beep and the communicator was turned off.

"Sorry if I got you into trouble Sideswipe." sighed Areia as she looked at Sideswipe's knee, which she was sitting on. Sideswipe put his finger under her chin and raised her face up to look at his and smiled.

"Don't worry I won't get into trouble! Now how about I get you off of my knee so I can transform huh?"

Areia laughed, "Sure Sideswipe let's roll!"

Sideswipe picked up Areia as gently as possible and placed her on the ground. "Transform!" he yelled as he transformed into his vehicle mode.

"Dude that was awesome!" Sideswipe opened his driver's side door for her.

"Come on I don't want to keep Red Alert and the others waiting for the new arrival do I?" She could tell if he had been in robot form he would've been smiling.

"Okay Sideswipe let's jet!" she said as she got in the car, closed the door ,and they took off.
