Liyana1995: Ok, just to be sure, I'm REALLY new at this. This is my first ever fanfic so don't flame me..much.

Crystal: HEY!! How come I have to suffer! I want a refund on this act! $5000 for a month isn't enough, and I paid $500 you know!

Liyana1995: Stop whining, you'll look better soon I promise!

Crystal: ...... promise?

Liyana1995: Yeah, promise. But.. ISN'T 5000 ENOUGH FOR YA!! YOU PAYED 500 TO ENTER THE PLACE!! So I'd say, no raise. Unless I mean it.

Crystal: Fine, I'll do the disclaming. Liyana1995 doesn't own TFAnimated. Just her OC aka your's truly. Can we get on with it now?

Yawning, stretching, Sari Sumdac rolled on her tire bed. Kept on going until she fell down with a thud. Face first.

'This is frustrating....' she thought. 'hmm...7AM, let's see, it's early morning, I'm awake with a swollen face, now what am I suppose to do next?...' she got up, still in her PJ's and walk out to get some drink, anything that'll make her sleep again. Suddenly, she heard yelling from outside. 'I'm glad they're out on patrol' She rushed in immediately towards where the sound was emitting from. Turns out it came from another girl. With a bleeding wrist.

"OH GOD!! What happened!!?" Sari shouted, with all her strenth she managed to get the girl into the base, cleaning off her wound was a bad idea since the flow of blood was coming out non-stop. "umm..ok..how do we do this again?" Sari's hand was trembling on how to save the girl, she got some water, bandages, antiseptics, pins and a piece of thick cloth. First she begin wiping off the blood by pressing her upper wrist tightly so that the flow will be slowed down, then she dipped the cloth into the water and start wiping the dry blood, she ripped the cloth in 2 and tied it on her upper wrist. She take in the other half and put the antiseptic on. When she's done, she takes the bandages and wrap it around her wound. (thank tutorbot for the gross lesson)

"Wow..who knew one of tutorbot's grossest lesson would come in handy." said Sari with a smile on her face. She carried the girl into her room, but she didn't care that her clothes were covered in thick blood. 'I guess I should buy her some new clothes..but without the other noticing..' Sari looked at the girl, she was older than her and her face was pale, with dirty black hair and some ragged clothes. 'I'm sure she looks better than this.. And I wonder what happened to her..' Sari thought. True enough, the girl was actually holding a knife whan Sari found her.

A few hours later the Autobots finally returned. But when they got to the entrance they was shocked to see a pool/dragged train of blood being pulled into the base. "Sari!!" shouted Optimus, but relaxed when he saw Sari isn't hurt. "Ok, if you're not covered in blood, who is?" perked Bumblebee. "Um...a cat..and a dog..err..was fighting here, they both got really hurt..and these trail marks! What are these suppose to be I hear you ask? I kinda helped them, give them food and I let them go!" replied Sari. 'Yeah..that's good, cat dog fight.. I have to remember that' she thought to herself.

"Cat..and dog? Isn't that just violent?" hummed Prowl, being the nature bot he is. "I think its natural Prowl. Cats chases mouse and dogs chases cats, right Sari?"

"You bet Bulkster..but how'd you..?"

"Tom and Jerry. Man, that show's hillarious."

"Glad you like em."

Later on, Sari had to wash the blood and walk in. Taking a short shower, dresses and walks to Bumblebee. "Hey Bee, mind taking me to the mall for a while? I have to buy somethings."

"Sure! I've beem wanting to leave here anyway." He finished transforming and Sari got onto him. They drove to the mall which only takes about half an hour thanks to Bumblebee's speed. "Ok, you stay here while I buy some clothes." "Clothes? You have tons of 'em!" "Hello! I'm a girl? We have fashion." And so, she ran in the mall entrance, leaving a confused Bumblebee asking himself 'what's a fashion?'

"Ok..let's see.. I wonder what her size is... Probably I'm the same height as her neck. So I'd say she's 13 or 14-ish. Hmm...ah, excuse me?"said the girl, asking assistance from a nerby saleswoman. "Yes? Do you need anything sweetie?" "Umm, yes. I was wondering, do you have a dress suitable for 13 and 14-year-olds?" "Hmm...Over here. These are definitly for early teens. Why you ask sweetie? Aren't you a little young to wear these?" Sari was a little nauseated of the 'sweetie' calling. Sure she's 8, but that's a bit much. And the woman was creeping her out too! She was smiling to no end!

"Birthday present?"

"I see, take your time then." And off she went to do her business. 'Glad she's gone..' Sari thought thankfully. After a few minutes of rummaging the clothes racks, she went off to the cashier and payed everything (on her dad's credit card she managed to keep when she was thrown out). Quickly, she ran out of the mall and crashed into Bumblebee, who was in a stasis nap.

"GAH!! Sari?! Don't ram on me like that!"

"Sorry Bee. On a hurry. Can we go home? I want to try these on." (she wasn't much of a lier, but she can act)

"Sure! Hop on." Sari did as she was told and once more, Bumblebee zoomed back to the base, barely missing the wall. "Bee......don't.....do...that......again..." whimpered the shaking girl, staggering to her room. Bumblebee can only give out a sheepish grin and received glares from the others. "Kid, what did I say about going with the speed limit?" said a grumpy looking Ratchet, grumpier than usual! "What? You guys are no fun..."

Back in her room, Sari found that the girl was still sleeping. 'Good, maybe I can give her a bath. I mean she is a girl.' And with that, she takes off the girl's clothes, carried her to her tub and silently washing her. Sari cleaned the girl's body (but carefully not to hurt her wrist), then she soaped them and proceed with her hair. 'WOW!! She's pretty!' Turns out, Sari was right, her pale face was now back in it's real colour, a lightly tanned skin, and her long dirty hair became jet black. When Sari's done, she put on the new clothes on the girl (which is a perfect fit).

Suddenly, the girl began waking up. "..unhhh...where..?" "Hi there. I'm Sari." "Wh..why?" "No, my name's Sari." "Oh....I'm..Crystal.." Sari helped the girl up, Crystal just stared at her, then her room, then herself. "Umm..where am I?" "You're in my room...in the Autobot base." At first the girl didn't notice what she was saying because she kept looking up, but when she captured it, "I'M IN A WHAT!!??" A startled Sari just slapped her left hand on Crytal's mouth, while her free hand gave a 'shushing' sign. "Shh!! Don't let the others hear you!"

"Wait...you didn't tell them I was here? How are they going to take this? Maybe they'll throw me out.. I have to be homeless once more.. And I don't..wanna be...like that ever again!!!!" Crystal said while bursting into tears. Sari, who have been watching her, felt sorry. She wouldn't let them push her out. Sari could see, this girl is nice, and no one WILL push her out. "No. I won't let them push you out. I know them and they know me. Don't worry." Now, just a sniffing Crystal was watching her with glassy eyes. She jerked out and hugged Sari on the neck while whispering a thank you.

So, with a big huff of breath, Sari and Crystal walks out towards the living room where the others are just hanging out. With a loud 'ehem', the other's just turned their head to see Sari and another girl wearing a plain white dress with ruffles at the long sleeve, neck and at the bottom of the dress. She had a red ribbon as a decor near her chest and a red strap around her curved waist. Her crystal blue eyes were looking down and her hair was swaying in the summer wind. She had short boots that were also white but a little pointed at the top.

"Sari, who is this girl?" said Bulkhead. "And how'd she find this place?" said a rather..amused Bumblebee. "More importantly, what did she wants." questioned the now angry looking Prime. Sari saw his look and stepped in front of Crystal, widening her arms. "Her name's Crystal. I found her at the front of the base. The blood you guys saw are hers. She was hurt, homeless and alone! I can't just leave her! Besides, I saw that she's special! There's something different about her. And she's really nice! If you guys think you can push her out, you have to go through me." The others just looked at her dumbfounded. Including Crystal. 'Why..why did she wanted to help me? And how can she tell I'm special?'

"Sari..we don't want to push her out..its just that..well..." Now, Optimus was staggering to find the right answer. "Can she stay?" "What?" "Please, can she stay with us? She can be my sister." "Your..sister?" "My step-sister...PWEEEAAAASSSEEEE!!!!!!!" said Sari while giving him the best puppydog eyes she can muster. Prime looked at Crystal. She doesn't look like she was giving the eyes, but it seems they're watery, her mouth was a bit pouty and a fake tear was running down. (man she's good!) Finally, Optimus gave up. "Fine..from now, she'll be living with us."

"YES!!!!! Crystal! We're going to have the best days of our life!! So..what can you do?" Crystal just lokked at her with a confused expression, then she gave out a small smile which nearly takes out the spark for 1 certain bot. "I...I dunno..I've never tried anything..although I am good in singing." The others just looked at each other. "Uhh..Sari? what's singing?" "Like arts, singing is how..you try to express your feeling. There are many songs in this world. Sometimes it can manipulate people's emotions. If the song is slow, we'll be calm, if it's fast, we just feel like moving, if it's sad, we'll be sad as well." Bulkhead still doesn't understand it. Sari can tell because he rubbed his head.

"You didn't get it yet, do you?"

"Uhh...no."

"Then...why don't we hear Crystal sing?" With this, Crystal's head perked up. "What? Oh no no no no...I don't remember ALL the lyrics. Besides....I'm too shy to sing like this." Sari didn't really buy it, with a smirk she cocked her eyebrow. "Really?...Then how'd you sing near the mall a few days ago?"

Crystal sweatdroped when she heard that. "Uhhh....that's ahh..." "You just sing your heart out, didn't you?" "Ok...you got me. I'm not that shy. I love singing. I got a few pounds just BY singing." "Then let's hear it"

Crystal walks towards the stereo and put on her fave song. One from Hannah Montana, Goodbye.

I can honestly say, you've been on my mind, since I woke up today, up today

I looked at your photograph, all the time

These memories come back to life...and I don't mind

I remember when we kissed, I used to feel it on my lips

The time that you danced with me, when no music playin'

I remember the simple things, I remember till I cry

But the one thing I wished I'd forget

The memory I wanna forget.......

Is goodbye

I woke up this morning and played a song

And throwing my tears, I sang along

I picked up the phone and then put it down

Cause I know I'm wasting my time...and I don't mind

I remember when we kissed, I used to feel it on my lips

The time that you danced with me, when no music playin

I remember the simple things, I remember till I cry

But the one thing I wished I'd forget

The memory I wanna forget....

Suddenly my cellphone's blowin up

With your ringtone

I hesitate but answer it anyway

You sound so alone

And I'm surprise to hera you say

You remember when we kissed, you use to feel it on your lips

The time that you danced with me, when no music playin

You remember the simple things

We talked till he cried

You said that your biggest regret

The memory you wished I'd forget

Is saying goodbye..

Saying goodbye...ooh...

Goodbye......

When the music ended, Crystal looked up and saw that Ratchet's face was a comical surprised, Bulkhead's face was nearly bursting into tears (if he can), Prime's face was just an open mouth, Prowl's was.....expressionless...(probably he widen his eyes under those visor of his), Bumblebee? He's whimpering. Sari was the first one to break the odd silence surrounding them, with teary eyes. "THAT WAS AMAZING!!!! *tears*" "Really?" "yes....that was so...emotionally...sad..." Crystal thanked her, puts the microphone down and tell Sari she wanted a rest. Sari, just followed her in, still with teary eyes.

"Whew...the girl got more voice than we could ever imagine." Said Ratchet after snapping out of his trance. "You know Prime, she looks like a great sister to Sari, maybe letting her stay here isn't so bad." Prowl was the second to speak. "Yeah boss-bot, she sounds full of fun, when she get's used to us." Bulkhead chimed in, Bumblebee was still in a daze after Crystal's singing. "She's.....so.....pretty....." Not knowing he said it out loud, he suddenly heard snicker from the others.

"What?" "Soo...my little buddy likes Crystal eh?" Bulkhead said while crossing his arms and nudging Bumblebee with his massive body. Bumblebee was a little surprised on how'd they know, suddenly, it hit him. "Umm..how'd you all know? Did I say it out loud?" Next up, Prowl was giving him an evil smile. "Who knew you can figure that out in a short time." Turning tomato red, Bumblebee fled out into his room, never to come out for 5 hours.

It's already after noon, and Crystal walks out after earning a couple of hours sleep. Hastily, she went to the kitchen after bumping on several different rooms. Her blue eyes twinkle in the sunlight when she managed to get something to eat. Suddenly, Optimus came in and found that Crystal was there, eating a sandwich. "Hello there, Crystal." "Hello, you are Optimus Prime, is it not?" Optimus was a little amazed at the politeness that Crystal was showing to him.

"Um..yes, I am."

Crystal didn't say anything else but just smiled at him with her genuine smile, and walks off to wander around. Meanwhile, a certain bot was watching, with a small hint of jealousy in his spark.

Liyana1995: TOLD YA! I say I'd make you look better, and now you are.

Crystal: Yeah, you did. BUT WHY DID YOU ADD A LITTLE PLOT TWIST!!!??

Liyana1995: Ooohhh..yeah about that. It's a S-E-C-R-E-T.

Crystal: Why you little..!!! (chases Liyana1995 across the room)

Liyana1995: EEPP!!! (runs off and grab a pie)

Crystal: (stops) You wouldn't! (grabs an umbrella)

Liyana1995: Watch me. (throws pie at Crystal)

Crystal: (opens umbrella) YOU WANT WAR!? I GIVE YOU WAR!! (thrown fruits at Liyana1995)

Sari: (sigh) Well, the 'throw at each other food' war have just begun. So I suggest it won't stop until she updates more. I guess Liyana1995 would say read and review or R&R. (shouts) Is that right?

Liyana1995: yeap!! (covered in tomatoes, slad, and other fruits) (keeps throwing pies, 1 of em hit Sari)

Sari: HEYY!!! (throws splattered pie back)

And the war just started.
