Disclaimer: I don't own TF. Believe me, if I did everyone would be in serious trouble because the Decepticons would've taken over already.
The rock orb that hung in the earthling night sky shown brightly, as the whole light side could be seen. Underneath the moonlit, star-studded blanket, a young girl lay curled up within her sleeping bag. Her backpack was lying haphazardly beside a tree not even a foot away from her and her shoes and socks were discarded next to her sleeping bag. The only thing that could be heard was her soft snoring and the calls of the nocturnal wildlife.
She lived out here for the simple fact that she had no where else to go. The only reason she went back to her former home town was because the city government still made her go to their high school. The teenager was fifteen years of age and only a sophomore at Tranquility High School. She was kicked out of her home when she wouldn't conform to her mother's rules, the woman was highly religious. She kicked her out because she thought she was a possessed by the devil.
Right now, she was sleeping in a sleeping bag next to the wall of some warehouse. She'd have gone inside if it weren't for the fact that it was locked. All of a sudden, "Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Be... *click*" the girl clicked the off button to her watch alarm that she kept in the side pocket of her backpack. It was almost dawn, so she had to book it to get to school since the city was about 5 miles south from her current location and the school was about six miles into the city from there.
She pulled a hair brush, combing out her long straight white hair which fell just past her mid-back. The teenager wore a black silk tank-top and tight-fiiting black jeans that had white stitching and a white down the outside of the legs. Cassandra "White Raven" Cade was not like most teenagers. She was an albino and had a secret to getting to school from such a long distance while making it to class on time. 'I wonder how long it will take people to figure out,' she smiled to herself.
Her body began to contort and shift as the teen look on her transformation. Huge white hooves grew into place where her hands and feet used to be, her skin became covered in black fur, and the hair on her head turned into a silky, side draping Mohawk. Her face grew outward into a big muzzle with a big nose at the end and her blood red eyes became big and glassy. The teenager's tail bone stretched, while long white hair extended from it and it almost swept the ground when it finished forming into place. When the transformation was completed the human girl was no longer a human but had become a huge black shire mare with red eyes, a white mane, tail, and hooves with long bushy tufts of fur that hung loosely over the hooves.
Cassandra rolled her sleeping bag with her nose and placed it in a hole she had dug then covered it with a large stone. With her backpack hanging from her neck she took off at a swift gallop where she came up on the highway that lead straight into Tranquility. Her hooves running across the asphalt were the only sound that could be heard which was to be expected considering it was only five thirty in the morning.
The night was quite uneventful in Tranquility, and a certain Mustang was getting rather restless with boredom. Barricade let out a low groan of annoyance because of how boring it was to keep a low profile. His partner, Frenzy, was recharging in the back and there hadn't been so much as a peep from the fleshlings that resided here.
The 'Stang was at full energy as he had already finished his recharge cycle so trying to go back into recharge would be pointless. He was starting to do what the fleshbags called, 'zoning-out,' when he could hear this strange cludding sound, "Clud clud! Clud clud! Clud clud!" Before he could assess what was coming a large dark blur bolted past the interceptor. Seeing this as a perfect opportunity to disturb Frenzy's recharge, Barricade jolted his alt-mode forward and braked sharply causing the CD player to bounce off of the backseat and crash into the back of the passenger seat.
The Saleen had to hold back a laugh as he could hear the little spaz cussing him out in the back. "SHUT UP!" the muscle car roared at the hacker, who fell quiet immediately, "Now get your aft in the front seat."
The CD player grumbled in protest as he climbed over the back of the seat into the passenger spot and then asked, "Wha... What ar... are you... u... u... do... doing?"
The Mustang didn't give him a response; instead he sped out of the spot and headed in the direction of the blur.
Cassandra galloped into the city, taking turns where they were necessary. There weren't enough people outside at this hour to really care whether a horse was running down the neighborhood sidewalk. She raced past a parked police interceptor not really caring if anyone was sitting in it or not. The teenage horse still had an hour and fifteen minutes before she had to be to school so she decided to take a quick detour and have a light breakfast, which of course consisted of grass from the city park.
She slowed down to a trot as she came up to the park and strode onto the lush, dewy grass. Cassandra lowered her muzzle to the grass and began eating quietly. Being a horse she didn't have to worry too much about food, she could just live off of grass if she absolutely had to.
She looked up when she heard the sound of an engine tearing down the street. It was the police car she passed about fifteen minutes ago. She only recognized it because she remembered the numbers on its side, 643. The speeding Ford Mustang flew right past the park not even noticing her, or so she thought...
"Heh... Hey! The... ere... ere... there izzz an anima... an... an... animal in th... the park," Frenzy stuttered horribly as he pointed out the large beast. It was staring at them, watching as they rolled past the park.
"Frenzy. I do not care about the wildlife or the particular location of one," Barricade growled flatly thought he did glance over at the equine. Its body was jet black in color and it had pure white hair on its mane, tail and the hooves were white as well. It also had white tufts of fir draped over its hooves. Judging from the struture of the animal it could probably move pretty fast, well for a flesh creature. The strangest part was that there was a school bag around its neck.
"We... well what wa... was that thing... tha...that stampeded...ed... past?" the hacker inquired with a raised optical ridge.
Barricade halted abruptly causing Frenzy to fly face first into the dashboard. The interceptor had been looking at a description of an equine on the Internet. He realized the cludding sound he heard were the beast's hooves on the pavement. He could hear the sputtered curses from his partner but right now he didn't care. He did a U-ie and went back, parking in front of the park. The only thing that really drove him was a mixture of curiosity and boredom.
Cassandra heard the sound of the Mustang's engine as it came back and parked by the curb in front of the park. She tilted her head in curiosity as she watched the interceptor. Not getting much amusement out of it she dipped her head and resumed her grazing.
As she ate she suddenly felt something sliding gently down the length of her side. She gave a startled snort and reared her head, her eyes fell immediately on a large metallic black claw-tipped finger stroking her. The horse turned around warily, eyeballing the talon before looking directly up at the source. Her ruby eyes went wide as she backed up slightly while extending her neck to sniff at the alien being crouching in front of her.
The alien was looking at her with glowing red eyes and its mouth was pulled back in a grimace. Its entire body had a metallic gleam to it and then she noticed the car doors bouncing slightly on his arms as he shifted a little and on them in big letters it said, 'POLICE'. 'A robot?' Cassanadra pondered to herself, however she couldn't hold back her next question, "What the fuck?"
Barricade's curiosity had gotten the better of him and he uncerimoniously ejected Frenzy from his passenger seat before he transformed back into robot mode. The hacker skidded roughly on his aft, clicking angrily at the police car. The intercepter ignored the complaints of his partner and inched closer to the equine and crouched down as he reached out a hand, stroking the horse's side. For a lesser flesh creature it had pretty quick reflexes for as soon as the tip his finger touched the side of the horse it snort and soon its head was up and looking his direction immediately.
He watched at the beast turned around, its eyes widened and it backed up slightly with its snout leaning out trying to catch his scent. Suddenly its red eyes were looking past his hand, into his blazing red optics. Its head pulled back and Barricade almost fell over when the very teenage sounding voice spoke her inquiry.
Frenzy had slunk up beside his partner and was now sitting on his back legs like a cat; his electric blue optics were fixed on the horse. "I didn't know equine could talk."
"They can't," the mare smiled.
Barricade looked at her in confusion, "Then how is it that you can talk?"
"Because I'm not really a horse," she replied matter-of-factly. Figuring they wouldn't understand what she meant, Cassandra transformed back into a human, "See?" The teenager looked out towards the eastern horizon and realized how far the sun was, "Shit!" The girl was about to run off so she wouldn't be late for school but the interceptor's hand stopped her.
"How is it that you can transform?" he inquired with a frown.
"Listen I can't talk right now. I'm going to be late for school," she told him with a sigh as she went walk around his hand.
"I can't let you leave," Barricade put down his other hand to block her only escape route, "You know of my existance and I can't let you go with that knowledge."
"Now whose fault is that? You're the one who revealed yourself to me, "Cassandra retorted flatly then looked back at the horizon, "Fuck! I'm going to be late for school! Look, I have a policyfor these kinds of situations but listen up because I don't have time to repeat myself. I didn't see you and you didn't see me. Alright?"
Barricade sighed and finally relented, "Fine but if anyone starts tailing me I'm going to hunt you down."
"Dude, you're a robot in the middle of the city park surrounded by pink and white flowers. Needless to say, you stick out like a sore thumb," she raised an eyebrow at him before running off to school.
The police interceptor folded back into his alt-mode and took off making sure nobody saw him drive off of the park lawn.
