I sat in a coffe shop around the corner from my hotel room. It was the morning after my interview with Chromia and Elita-1. All I could do was maul over my answers and over think if I should have omitted some parts and added others.
After over thinking everything for the billionth time, I heard the bell signalling someone entering the cafe.
Looking up I saw Zolanda walking in with a cute yellow wrap dress on.
I smiled. It was nice to see a familiar face in a unfamiliar place. Chicago was definitely different then Georgia.
Zolanda noticed me looking at her and the second I caught her eye I smiled and waved her over.
She slowly made her way over and took a seat.
"Hi. It's nice seeing you again." She said in a soft sweet voice.
I smirked. "Same. Its nice knowing at least someone."
"Yea. I definitely appreciate you inviting me over."
"So how do you feel the interview went."
Zolanda grinned. "I think I did pretty good after my nerves calmed down. Thanks again for being so kind."
I waved her off. "Call us even. You saved me from awkwardly sitting here alone."
Zolanda grinned. "You know I never caught your name."
"Call me Vonnie. My birth name needs to be buried in a coffin somewhere. Totally dead." I joked.
Zolanda laughed. "Vonnie it is then. Well in that case call me Lannie. Everyone else does."
"Vonnie and Lannie." I joked at the Rhyme.
She giggled. "So how was the interview for you?"
I bit my lip. "Good. Elita-1 was amazing. You can just tell how moving and strong she is. An Chromia is hilarious and awesome. I think it went well."
Zolanda or Lannie nodded with wide eyes. "Elita-1 was truly a goddess. You could feel the leadership she radiates. An Chromia...That girl is everything I love wrapped in one. She doesn't hold back her tongue."
"She asked me if I would partake in a threesome?"
Lannie gasped and started laughing. "She did not!"
I smirked and took a sip of my coffee. "Sure did."
Lannie was giggling when the waitress came up to see if she needed anything. She quickly ordered before turning to me.
"Well she asked me if I would be opposed to spontaneous sex in varies positions. Preferably doggie style."
I held my stomach and gave a hearty laugh . "That femme is hilarious!"
Lannie and I both sat there laughing at our interview experiences. It was about half a hour later, while sipping our teas that Lannie's phone went off.
"Excuse me. Let me take this."
I shrugged and waved her on.
"Hello." Lannie answered in a sweet voice. A voice spoke on the other side and when they did Zolanda's eyes widened.
"M-miss. Chromia!"
My eyes widened and I stared Lannie down.
"Oh no ma'am Im not to busy. Just relaxing in a cafe with Vonnie, a fellow recruit."
Lannie looked at me and mouthed my Government named to make sure I was who she was talking about. I nodded and she replied back.
"Yes ma'am. I'm with Vonelope."
Lannie then smiled and put her phone on speaker.
"How lovely killing two birdies with one mego-cannon. How are you Miss. Vonelope?"
"Im well. How about yourself Miss.Chromia?"
"Im well young one. Well I was calling to let Miss Lannie know her news and since you both are together I will tell you both."
Lannie and I looked at each other with wide eyes.
"Both of you will enter phase 2 of recruitment. The Autobots and C.O.U.R.R.T program enjoyed your interviews, personalities, and honest responses. We invite you to come to a meet and greet. Dress cute and casual ladies."
Lannie gasped and squeezed my arm. I beamed at the phone.
"Thank you Miss Chromia!! We appreciate it. Honestly." I replied excitedly.
"Omg! Im so happy. Thank you. Thank you. Miss Chromia." Lannie but squealed.
Chromia chuckled. "No thank you ladies. We, the program and Autobots, apperciate your selflessness and services. See you tomorrow at 7pm. I will send the location to your cellular devices. Good day."
We both chorused goodbyes before hearing the line drop.
We looked at each other and started squealing.
"Omg, omg! I can't believe this is happening. Who would have thought I would be accepted into the program!" Lannie pressed her hands to her cheeks and grinned.
I shook my head. "What the hell do you wear to a meet and greet with cybertronians!?"
Lannie's eyes widened. "We need to go shopping asap!"
Lannie threw money on the table and all but drug me out the store. We browsed different boutiques trying to find cute, yet casual outfits.
"Ooo thats so you!"
I admired my fit with a satisfied smirk. "Oh yea this is cute."
I turned to look and Lannie and my mouth hit the floor. Lannie was the definition of bad AF.
"Now THAT is cute. Your look so pretty Zolanda."
Lannie blushed shyly. "I think I could lose a couple."
I shook my head in disbelief. "Girl no! You are thick, curvy, and beautiful. An your gonna slay tomorrow in that."
Lannie looked at herself proudly in the mirror before turning to me. "I think we got what we need."
We stood in line to pay for our things when a bubbly girl with bouncy red curls, green eyes, and freckles bounced up beside us.
"Are you guys in line?"
Lannie nodded and the girl stood behind us.
"Ooo those fits look great." The girl said eyeing the items in our hands.
"Thanks. We just got accepted into the C.O.U.R.R.T program." Lannie beamed.
The bubbly girl gasped. "Me too. Miss. Chromia called a hour ago."
I grinned. "Congrats to you too then."
She smiled. "Thank you! Im Amelia."
"Vonnie."
"Lannie." Zolanda echoed.
Amelia giggled at the Rhyme. "That's cute. Well I guess we all had the same idea."
She held up her cute dress and short block heels.
Lannie giggled. "Yea. Had to. I have to dress nice."
I nodded in agreement.
We all bought our items, exchanged numbers so we could get breakfast in the morning and were about to seperate ways when we heard the rev of engines.
Two Lamborghini's came speeding down the road in a flash of yellow and red, followed by a yellow Camaro, and silver poniac Solstice.
Lannie eyed the Solstice, because it slowed down. She tilted her head and it revved its engine before zipping down the street.
"What was that all about?" Amelia asked while standing on her tippy toes trying to catch another glimpse of the fast moving vehicles. The sweet girl was fun sized.
I shrugged. "Normal testosterone show."
The next day the three of us ate breakfast and chilled in Amelia's condo since she actually lived in GA.
We all brought our outfits, planned to get ready, and go to the Meet and Greet together.
"So what all do you think we'll do?"
I snorted "Meet...then Greet."
Lannie snorted and rolled her eyes. Amelia laughed, before her eyes brightened.
"I don't know. But I sure hope there's some dessert."
If I had learned anything about Amelia it was that the 23 year old girl loved desserts. The girl had a crazy sweet tooth.
Lannie looked over at Amelia highly amused. "Im sure there is gonna be something good for you."
At 6 we were all finishing up putting on our outfits. I walked in with my high waisted pants, ruffled of the shoulder tube top, with matching platform sandals. My blonde curly fro looking big and bouncy today. Lannie had on her cute stripped highwaisted pants with a bow and off the shoulder top. Her long honey blond dreads hung around her shoulders.
Amelia beamed at us in her cute dress and heels.
"If the mechs dont like us. They are stupid.
We laughed at the statement and hopped in Amelia's beat up yellow bug. After 30 mins we pulled up to a fancy building.
Many women dressed in various club fits were walking into the facility.
"Uhh I thought it was cute and casual." Lannie whispered.
I shrugged. "I guess we didn't get the secret memo."
We walked up or in Amelia's case bounced, to the door. We each showed our invitations on our phones and walked in.
A woman stood at a podium checking us in.
"Name?"
"Amelia Blake."
The woman handed her a card with the number 7 on it.
"Name?" The woman asked again.
"Zolanda Crain."
The woman handed Lannie the number 3.
The woman looked to me expectantly. "Vonelope Razor."
She handed me card with the 12.
"Please enter and sit at the corresponding tables."
Moving into the room we were met with many giggling woman. There were 25 tables and each were half full.
"Uhh why couldnt we just sit together..." Lannie groaned.
I nodded. Slightly bummed that we wouldn't be thugging the meet and greet out together.
Ameila bit her lip. "Well my tables over there. See you guys later."
We waved and started towards our own.
Each table had a pad and pens on it. Servers were passing out champagne and cute finger snacks.
When I made it to my own I found 3 other girls. Our table was the biggest and two seats were reserved. I sat down the girls seemed to be eyeing me and each other with hate. I scrunched my eyebrows together in confusion.
"Whoever were paired with is Mine." A snooty blonde girl said while leaning towards the reserved seats.
A leggy brunette with a extremely short dress, sneered. "As if."
My eyes widened. Were they really fighting over someone they hadn't even met?
Another blond her girl rolled her eyes and began to lean forward. "Touch my man and your dead."
The brunette and the snooty blonde shot daggers at the third girl before they all turned to me.
I raised a eyebrow. "May the odds be forever in your favor..." Quoting the Hunger Games jokingly.
They scoffed and went back to glaring at each other.
Eventually Elita-1 came to the podium.
She scanned the crowd before speaking into the mic.
"Good evening ladies. Thank you so much for attending our 1st C.O.U.R.R.T Meet and greet. From our interviews we set each of you with groups of other lovely young ladies that share similar interests. As well as the mechs that your most compatible with."
Excited murmurs erupted in the hall and Elita-1 raised her hand to silence everyone.
"Now if you will give your undivided attention to our leader, Optimus Prime."
My eyes widened as a large 6'7 man walks up on to the podium. He smiles sweetly and pecks Elita-1 on the cheek before turning to us.
"Good evening young ladies. Tonight will be a historic night for the Cybertronian and human race. Tonight we will join together and speak freely to find and create bonds. An embark on our very first Meet and Greet in the C.O.U.R.R.T program. As you know our race is on the brink of extinction. An I humbly thank you for volunteering to help my comrades and remaining Cybertronian race. May Primus bless this evening and the future bonds that will be created.... Autobots man your tables."
Optimus voice rumbled. An as soon as he gave the order. Tall, Gorgeous, blue eyed men walked in and moved towards the women in the room.
I watched a 6ft buff fellow stride confidently towards Lannie's table. Lannie was shyly looking down as all the other woman leaned in with there breast practically on display.
I narrowed my eyes as a girl whispered something to Lannie before smirking evilly.
Lannie flinched and gripped tightly to her pants leg.
The mech swiflty greeted them and Lannie looked up with a sad smile before watching the mech engage in conversation with the other woman at her table.
I looked at Amelia to see here eyeing her table mates in alarm. A cute lanky and young guy beamed sweetly at his group. Unfortunately he didn't notice the sea of sharks around him.
I was watching everyone until I heard the girls at my table gasp.
"Twins!" The snooty blonde squealed.
I turned to see tall, muscular, godlike identical twins walking towards us. One had completely blonde curly hair and a hard expression. While his twin had a sexy smirk and his red curly hair was falling into his face.
For a second I frowned and thought of my own identical twin brothers. How handsome they would have been by now. I gritted my teeth pushed the memories aside for the moment.
"Omg there so hot." The brunette fanned herself.
"Mine!" The third blond growled.
But the second the mechs reached us the girl each straighten up and gave innocent smiles.
"Hello Beautiful ladies. My name is Sideswipe and this is my brother Sunstreaker."
Sunstreaker eyed our group with a blank expression. I honestly didn't blame him. That's the look I was going for right now to.
"Hi! I'm Brittany Zeller. As in Zeller Incorporated." She said snootily.
Sideswipe raised his eyebrow. "Nice to meet you Brittany."
"I'm Ava Silvester. Fashion Designer." Brunette or Ava flipped her hair and gave both twins lustful looks.
Sunstreaker simply blinked and said nothing.
"Pleasure Ava." Sideswipe smiled sweetly still.
"Well I'm Camilla Slentz. My family is uber rich."
Sideswipe scratched his head and awkwardly sent her a smile as well.
"That's nice Camilla."
Camilla beamed like she won a billion dollars and before I knew it all eyes were on me.
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker watched me expectantly.
"Uhhh Names Vonnie. An I totally need a drink.... like Yesterday." I said turning away from them and looking for a waiter before turning around in defeated huff when none were close by.
Sideswipe grinned and Sunstreaker lips twitched. "Well Vonnie I think we can help with that."
Sunstreaker turned to a waiter and his deep voice dully asked for drinks for our table.
"Two, please and thank you." I called to the waiter who looked up with me and winked.
Sunstreaker narrowed his eyes at the male before huffing.
Once the drinks were distributed and I downed an entire one I zoned back into the happenings of my table.
"So what do you guys do for fun?"
Camilla. "Shopping. I get all the expensive stuff."
I raised and eyebrow at this airhead. Was that really the approach she was going for.
Ava scoffed. "I draw and make outfit designs and go to the most exclusive met galas in the world. I've never once seen you." She smiled at Camilla in fake innocence.
Camillia narrowed her eyes. "That's cuz I go to the exclusive exclusive stuff."
Brittany ignored the two and reached out to touch Sunstreaker's hair. He swiftly caught her hand and gently tossed her hand away from him.
His jaw clenched but he kept his voice neutral. "Please reframe from touching my holoform human."
Brittany pouted. But Sideswipe quickly gained everyone's attention.
"Well Sunstreaker here loves art too! He was the greatest artist on Cybertron." Sideswipe bragged happily.
I smiled at this. It was clear Sideswipe loved his twin and his work. Sunstreaker smirked and looked at his twin.
"Of course I was."
"Oh Sunstreaker that's so hot." Brittney said while fluttering fake eyelashes. They were so long it look like they were sending Sunstreaker a nice breeze.
Sunstreaker smirk disappeared instantly and his blank expression was once again present.
I groaned and downed the last of my second drink. God I needed another.
I turned to check on the others. Lannie was tapping her leg anxiously and looking at a clock. The mech at her table was laughing and entertaining the woman around him, but his gaze kept going back to Lannie worriedly.
I looked at Amelia to see her frowning and looking at her phone. The cute guy at her table was looking overwhelmed by the lustful women and he also seemed to be watching Amelia worriedly.
I saw a waiter carrying cake and a idea popped in my head.
Swiftly I turned around and wrote two a messages on two different papers before folding then up.
The waiter guy was walking by and I whispered to get his attention. Sunstreaker who had been watching the other 3 girls boredly turned his full attention to me. He narrowed his eyes at seeing the waiter once more. This time so did Sideswipe.
"Hey dude. Mind doing me a real big favor."
The waiter grinned. "Sure thing gorgeous, whats up."
I could feel Sunstreakers glare in the side of my head. I ignored it.
"Send two cakes to table 7. Its for the sweet red head. An one cake to table three. Its for the cute girl with blonde dreads. An hand these papers to them." The waiter grinned and embarked on his mission.
"What was that?" I turned to Sunstreaker surprised he had actually spoke to me.
His light blue eyes bore into mine willing me to tell him. "My recruit friends looked miserable so I sent them something to brighten there nights."
For once my table went silent and they curiously watched the waiter.
He went to Amelia first making her frown turn into a confused yet satisfied look. Her face brightened like she won the lottery as she read my note.
Dessert as promised. Now smile and enjoy your night. We'll get lit afterwards.
-Vonnie
She grinned her adorable grin and gave me two thumbs up. I just smirked and mimicked her motion. The mech at Amelia's table looked at me curiously, but seemed to be happier since Amelia was no longer frowning. I then watched the waiter go to Lannie.
Everyone stopped at her table to watch. She seemed to refuse the cake in embarrassment because she was the center of attention. But once she read the note she grinned and looked up at me.
I will snatch the wig of your neighbor if you want me too...lol && Dessert on me. Smile cause your too gorgeous not too.
-Vonnie
I winked. An she laughed and took a bite of her cake. The buff mech zeroed in on me from his table before taking in a happy Lannie.
I sighed and turned to my table.
"That was nice of you Vonnie." Sideswipe beamed.
I shrugged. "They've been nothing but kind to me. Its the least I can do."
Sideswipe smiled but then pouted. "You've hardly spoken. What do you do in your spare time?"
"I draw and paint. Recently got into digital art. I love going to art galleries and places of inspiration. But I also like doing things on my bucket list."
Sideswipe eyes brightened and Sunstreaker for once looked interested in something other then the lines on the table.
"What's a bucket list?" Sideswipe tilted his head curiously.
I smiled at his curiosity. "A personal list of things a individual person wishes to do. Humans call it a bucket list. Like I wanted to go cliff diving so I went to Hawaii and did just that. I recently went sky diving too."
Sideswipes eyes widened in excitement. "Now that sounds like my kind of list!"
I smirked. "Make a bucket list and experience the thrills our earth has to offer."
Sideswipe eyed me with an expression and Sunstreaker did as well.
Brittany scoffed. "Ive been to Hawaii like 10 times."
I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms.
Ava flipped her hair. "Well I draw to Sunny. How about we work on something together."
Sunstreaker clenched his jaw. "Human. My name is Sunstreaker. Not Sunny."
Ava pouted but Sunstreaker ignored her completely.
Camillia giggled and came in slick off topic. "Well I can buy you guys whatever you want Sunstreaker."
"Kill me now, oh dear God." I huffed.
Sunstreaker's lips twitched and he caught my eyes like he was agreeing with me.
It was at that moment Chromia stepped to the podium.
"Thank you guys for coming to this successful meet and greet! Please check your phones tomorrow. Those of you who will be moving on to the next phase will be notified. The rest we thank you for wanting to help, but we will no longer need your services at this time."
All the girls at my table glared at each other. Before saying bye to Sideswipe and Sunstreaker.
I looked at the two mechs that eyed me once the others were done being extra.
"Are you going to say goodbye human or just stand there?" Sunstreaker said sarcastically.
I raised a eyebrow. "Later."
Before Sideswipe could say anything I was already walking away.
Lannie quickly found me and we dragged Amelia away from a waiter holding cake.
"This was horrible!" I growled beyond annoyed at tonights events.
The girls nodded in agreement.
"Chromia definitely didn't plan that." Lannie mumbled.
Ameila frowned. "I don't think Imma make it to the next round. There's no way Bumblebee is picking me."
Lannie frowned. "Same. No way Jazz is going for me over the other girls."
I looked at her and shrugged. "You know I thought I would be helping save the Cybertronian race from extinction, but now I see I'm just on some wierd ass alien version of Flava Flav's love show."
Lannie burst out laughing and nodded. "Right!!!"
Amelia giggled and shook her head. "Well at least I met you guys."
We all smiled at one another.
"Lets go to the bar so I can wash the memories of the brain dead idiots I sat with tonight."
"Hell yea, I second that." Lannie echoed.
Amelia beamed. "There's a cool bar on 3rd street." She suggested.
"Your going to a bar?" A voice called out.
The cute lanky Autobot named Bumblebee strolled up grinning sweetly. Amelia blushed and sent him a shy nod.
"What's this I hear bout'a bar?" The stocky autobot named Jazz said. His eyes find Lannie's swiftly.
Her eyes widened and she opened her mouth but no words came out.
"Amelia's gonna show us a bar on 3rd street, because whoever planned this shindig was lacking the basic "get lit" componets. " I grumbled.
Jazz burst into laughter. "Ratchet and Optimus actually had to plan this event. They are such oldtimers."
"Hold On Sunny and I are coming to!" Sideswipe grinned butting into our conversation.
Sunstreaker glared at him and wacked him in the head. "Don't call me that."
Sideswipe rolled his eyes but looked at me.
I raised a eyebrow, blinked, and walked off.
"Whatever." I called over my shoulder.
Lannie eyes widened. She gave Jazz a small smile before grabbing Amelia and scurrying after me.
With that our rag tag team was made.
