《SoulSpark: Optimus Prime X Reader | Book 1》The Search

The ride over to Sam's was quiet for the most part. You just relaxed and enjoyed the ride. Your body was sore so you adjusted your sitting position, letting out a groan. The quiet was ended as a voice spoke from radio.
"In hindsight, you should've gone with Ratchet." He said solemnly.
"Are you kidding me? Why would I turn down a ride from the leader of the Autobots? If I did, I'd be crazy haha. Besides like I said before I'm fine." You said.
"Humans are strange... " He said before giving a low chuckle.
You laughed.
"You can say that again." You said.
"Still you should let Ratchet have a look at you when we get to Sam's." He said.
"Fine Mr worry wart." You said with a sigh.
Never thought a robot would worry about my physical condition. You guys soon pulled up to Sam's place, right behind Bumblebee.
"Thanks for the ride Oppy." You said putting a hand on the door.
"What?" He asked confused, making you stop before opening the door.
You looked back to the Dash board with a raised eye brow.
"What you prefer Mcprime?" You asked with a chuckle.
When you got no response, you were confused.
"What has no one ever given you a nickname before?" You asked.
"Nickname?" He asked like he never before heard the term.
You burst out in laughter, and patted the dash board.
"Oh god, Oppy! You have alot to learn about humans." You said while laughing.
You then hoped out of his Alt mode carefully, leaving a confused Optimus. You walked over to Mikaela.
"Where's Sam?" You asked.
"He went inside to get your bag. He wants us to keep an eye on these guys." She said.
Speaking of which the transformers had transformed, and were walking about.
"Oh no!" You said.
You made your way over to see Sam telling them to stay off the grass. You saw Optimus about to step on a fountain.
"Optimus, watch out for-"
Too late he stepped on it breaking it.
"Oops. Sorry. My bad." Said Optimus
You sighed.
"I told you to stay! For just five minutes! Is that so hard?!" Shouted Sam at Optimus.
Mikaela came up next to you as Sam came over.
"I told you guys to watch them!" He said.
"They're giant robots. What did you expect us to do?!" You said annoyed.
"Yeah, and they seem to be in kind of a rush." Said Mikaela.
We then heard a bark and looked to see Mojo, Sam's dog by IronHide's foot.
"Oh, no..." You said.
He peed on IronHide's foot, and the robot shook his foot to try to get it off.
"No, Mojo! Off the robot!" Said Sam rushing over to the dog.
Ironnhide kicked the dog a bit away.
"Hey don't hurt it!" You said.
Ironnhide held up a gun to the dog that was now in Sam's hand.
"This is Mojo ok! He's a pet. That all!" Said Sam.
Ironnhide pointed his other gun.
"Put the guns away!" You said.
"You have a rodent infestation." Said IronHide.
"Rodent infestation?" Said Sam.
"Shall I terminate?" Said IronHide.
"Absolutely not!" You said.
"What no! He's not a rodent. This is a Chihuahua! It's my Chihuahua! We love Chihuahuas don't we?" He said trying to calm him.
"He's leaked lubricants all over my foot." Said IronHide.
You couldn't help but giggle at this.

"He peed on you? Bad Mojo. Bad dog!" Said Sam.
"Bad Mojo." Said IronHide putting away his guns.
This made you giggle again.
"I'm sorry. He has a real male dominace thing. That's all it is." Said Sam.
"My foots gonna rust." Said IronHide walking away making you giggle again.
Sam started walking towards the house and shushing the Autobots.
"Just shut up and hide!" Said Sam.
"Just Hurry." Said Optimus.
"And you! Keep an eye on them this time." Be said pointing to me, before heading in.
You just had a wtf look on your face. Why me? How did I become the babysitter of 5 giant alien robots? You sighed.
"Autobots, recon." Said Optimus.
You then felt a tap on your shoulder and turned to see ratchet.
"Optimus wanted me to take a look at you." He said.
"Right. Almost forgot. Lead the way." You said and followed him.
You sat down on a bench and he used his lazer thing to examine you. It tickled. He turned the Lazor off.
"Your leg and arm will need time to heal, but are otherwise fine." He said.
He then reached into a compartment and pulled out some kind of ointment and cloth.
"Rub in the ointment and put on fresh bandages. It should be mostly healed by morning." He said and handed you the items.
You gave you a look before leaving. What was that look for? He looked like he was trying to figure something out. Mikaela came over and helped you fix yourself up. With the ointment on your wounds and with fresh bandages, you were already feeling a big better. You thanked Mikaela for her help.
"(Y/n)." Optimus called.
You and Mikaela headed over. Once you were standing by his pedes, you looked up at him.
"Yeah big guy? What's up, other than you that is." You Said.
"We must find the glasses quickly. I will give you a lift." He said.
He placed a servo on the ground for you to get on. You and Mikaela quickly got on and sat down. You were lifted high in the air, and you were glad you weren't scared of hights. He lifted you up infront of Sam's open window.
"What is this?" Said Sam.
"Time is short." Said Optimus.
Mikaela got off his servo and into Sam's room.
"They really want those glasses." You said.
You got off his servo and into Sam's room.
"Please hurry." Said Optimus.
"You got it big guy." You said.
You all started searching the room. You always left your stuff in Sam's room whenever you came over. You guys weren't finding anything. Didn't help that Sam's room was a complete mess.
"That's it they're not here! They were in her bag but her bags gone." Said Sam.
"We just need to keep looking." You said as you searched.
"Well they're gonna be pissed, so what do we do?" Said Mikaela.
"You're gonna search this whole area over here." Said Sam gesturing to a section of the room.
"Okay." She said and began searching.
"Not there!" He said as she tried to look in his secret box.
You just ignored them and kept searching.
"No,no,no,no,no,no,no!" Said Sam.
With a sigh you looked out the window to see all the Autobots in their Alt modes.
"Oh god..." You said with a sigh at thier poor hiding skills.
"This isn't hiding. This is my backyard, not a truck stop!" Said Sam.

We all kept searching when Mikaela called out to Sam.
"Sam, he's back." She said referring to Optimus.
"Oh god ,I can't deal with this right now. (Y/n) you talk to him." He said panicked.
You gave him a look that said 'why do I have to tell the bad news to the giant robot'.
"Because you're the one that's all chummy with him. Now go!" He said.
You rolled your eyes, and went over to the window to see Optimus. You saw that he was stepping in the flowers.
"Dude, his mom's flowers..." You said.
"Oops." He said.
"Look if his parents come out they are going to freak! His mom has a temper." You said.
"We must have the glasses." Optimus said urgently.
"I know you need them. We're searching everywhere, but we haven't found them yet." You said apologetically.
He put a servo over his face, and shook his head in dismay and fustration. He sighed putting his servo down.
"Keep searching." He said.
"Okay, but we're gonna need you guys to be quiet for like 5, 10 minutes. Can you do that?" You requested.
Sam then chimed in about how they were making a racket and distracting him.
"Calm do, calm down." Said Optimus.
He turned to the Autobots.
"Autobots fall out." Said Optimus.
"Thank you." You said.
You overhead jazz and IronHide arguing about being quiet, and her a shock. You looked over to see ratchet had walked right into a power line getting electrocuted.
"Oof..." You said.
He fell to the ground making everything shake, and all the power went off.
"Great..." You said.
"Ooh Thant was tigglely. You should try it." Said Ratchet.
"Yeah sounds like fun." Said IronHide.
You rolled your eyes and giggled. You tried to search but it was to dark. Just then a bright beam of light came into the room.
"Ratchet point the light." Said Optimus.
"We have to hurry." Said Ratchet as Sam went to the window.
"What's with the light? You have to stop. Tell him to turn it of." Said Sam.
There was a banging on the door. Sam's dad voice was heard.
"Sam are you in there? Why is the door locked? You know the rules. No locked doors in my house!" He said.
"You know he's start counting." Warned his mother.
His dad started counting and you and Mikaela tried to find a place to hide. Sam let his parents in, and they started arguing about the light. Then they started arguing about him masterbating and about hearing voices. God this was so akward. You popped up.
"Hey guys." You said.
"Oh (y/n), you're hear. We were worried you and your dad weren't coming. Where is he?" Said his mom.
"Oh uh probably at the house." You said.
You totally forgot about the dinner.
"Nevermind that. Why are you in Sam's room. You guys weren't... I mean we knew you guys were friends but we didn't expect-" said his dad.
"Dad no god! No offense, but I don't like her that way." Said Sam.
"Yeah same here. We were actually searching for my bag. I have something important I need in there, like now." You said.
"Oh well I dropped it back off at your place earlier. No one was home, so I just used that spare key and left it in your room for sweete." She said.
You let out a sigh of fustration.
We then heard a bang and his dad looked outside to see his ruined yard and the blown transformer. He told his wife they would need to call the city about it. You prayed the Autobots hide properly this time. The dad left the window, and you went over rand heard voices.
"The parents are very irritating. Can I take them out?" Said IronHide annoyed.
Oh god.
"Ironnhide! You know we don't harm humans. What is with you?" Said Optimus.
"Well I'm just saying. It's an option." Said IronHide.
You sighed.
That's when Mikaela decided to come out of hiding. She introduced herself as a friend of Sam's. His parents were excited and his mom complimented on how pretty she was. She apologized for her overhearing their family discussion. You then all went downstairs. You told them that you had to go get your bag, and that you'd be back. You went out to the back where the Autobots were waiting.
"Did you get the glasses?" Asked Optimus urgently.
"No! Sam's mom brought my bag to my place, and the glasses were in my bag. Can one of you guys give me a lift over there?" You said quickly.
Optimus sighed in fustration that getting the glasses was taking so long.
"We must hurry." He said before grabbing you in his servo.
"Woah!" You said.
He walked over to the street, put the servo he was holding you in to his chest, and transformed into his Alt mode. Everything around you shifted and turned, until you found yourself sitting in the passenger seat of his Alt mode. You out a hand on your head to steady your dizziness.
"Oh god I feel sick...." You graoned.
"Where to?" He asked.
You quickly told him where to go, and he took off. During the drive you started to feel better, when he spoke up.
"Will your parents be home as well?" He asked.
"Don't worry. My dad isn't as hard to deal with as Sam's parents. He might not be even be home." You said.
He made a sound of understanding. There was silence before he spoke again.
"What about your mother? Will she be home?" He asked.
You were silent for moment.
"N-no. She won't. She's gone..." You said.
"I see. I should not have asked. I didn't realize. I'm sorry for your loss." He said solemnly.
He really didn't mean to make you upset.
"Thanks, but don't worry about it. It happened a long time ago. I've moved passed it." You said.
There was more silence, until he spoke to change the subject.
"Would you mind explaining the nickname now?" He asked curious.
You chuckled.
"Still confused about it. Well Oppy, a nickname is something we give to our friends." You explained.
"Like a tittle of endearment or affection?" He asked starting to understand.
"Yeah, exactly." You said.
"Then I am honored to receive such a tittle." He said.
He thought of it like a special achievement to be given a nickname by you.
You chuckled.
"And you said humans were the weird ones." You said.
You gave out a low chuckle. You then came to a stop, and looked out the window to see your house.
"We are here. Please hurry." He said.
You hoped out of his Alt mode.
"I'll be fast. Be right back." You said before dashing off.
You ran into your house and to your room. You spotted your bag on your bed. You went through it and found the glasses still in their case. You gave a sigh of relief. You headed back down the stairs a d froze when you saw your dad standing in the hall.
"Dad, you're back..." You said.
"Hey kiddo. You look like you've see a ghost. I thought you'd be happier to see me." He said with a chukle.
"I-i am! I'm glad your home." You said approaching him.
"I know kiddo. I'm just kidding with yeah. Now give your dad a hug!" He said and pulled you into a huge.
You giggled and hugged back with a smile. You did miss him. He's be gone over a week. He let you go, and have me a stern look.
"So why didn't you tell me?" He asked.
You gave him a confused look.
"Tell you what?" You said.
"About your new truck!" He said with a big smile.
He walked over to the window and pulled open the blinds to show Optimus waiting in his Alt mode.
"I mean look at it! It's a beauty! I know you wanted to join the business, but I didn't think you'd buy yourself your own truck so soon. While your still in highschool at that." He said excitedly.
"O-oh right that truck. I wanted it to be a surprise! And you know me. Always planning ahead..." You said nervously with a fake smile.
He laughed.
"Well I'm surprised alright. Let's take it for a ride over to the Witwicky's. We're late for that dinner." He said pulling you outside.
While your dad inspected the truck in awe, you went inside and sat in the drivers seat.
"I'm sorry Optimus. Looks like my dad will be a bit of a problem. He wants to drive over to Sam's you." You said
"It's alright. Did you get the glasses?" He asked hopefully.
"Yes I have them right here." You said.
They were In. Your pants pocket.
"Good." He said relieved.
"I'm gonna have to drive. Is that okay?" You asked.
"Indeed. We must not let our secret be discovered." He said.
"Thanks Oppy. Your the best!" You said.
He reved his engine.
Your dad hoped in the passenger seat, ok with you driving since you got your license last year. You drove back to Sam's, and you and your dad got out of the truck. Your dad guided you to the door of the house and knocked. You gave Optimus an apologetic look as he would have to wait longer till you could give him the glasses. When you got in the house everyone greeted eachother. You went into the kitchen as your parents talked in the living room.
"Did you get the glasses?" Asked Sam.
"Yeah." You said showing them.
They both sighed in relief.
"Okay me and Mikaela will distract our parents while you sneak out to give it to Optimus." Said Sam.
You nodded, when you guys heared banging and yelling coming from the living room.
