Sam Witwicky

"Second for me," Sam said. The only other time had been when he went back to Cassie's world with her, which had been fun. And crazy. And pretty dangerous.

"This place is a representation of how I remember home. So it may not be exact, but it's how I think of my world."

From:

"So once again, I'm late to the party. That shouldn't be a big surprise to anyone. So...what are we supposed to do here? Some greater purpose or just hit the mall until it's time to go back to Boring Island?"

From:

"There has been a lot of fighting both times for me but it was kind of to be expected, considering it was my world, then Zuko's." Cassie narrowed her eyes at Sam. "I will not be a damsel in distress this time. Just saying."

From:

"I'm pretty much always the damsel in distress in my world," Sam reassured her. It wasn't that he didn't try to not be a liability, but generally when you were fighting giant robots, you were kind of outclassed.

"But other than the Autobots, my world is pretty normal."

From:

"I might have to ask for a judge's ruling on that one, Sam. I don't think 'other than the Autobots' gives you a free pass to call things normal. I think that goes better with things like 'other than shrimp, I really like seafood' and that kind of thing."

Then Wilke paused, looking between Sam and Cassie. "So if Sam's the damsel, shouldn't he be in the Daisy Duke shorts?"

From:

"Wilke does have a point. I don't think he has super powers or Autobots in his world." Cassie said before she stuck her tongue out at Wilke. "Honestly? He doesn't have the legs for them."

Giving her attention back to Sam, she brightened. "So, when do we get to meet Bumblebee? I've been hearing about him for years, I want to meet him!"

From:

"Bee!" Sam shouted, eyes lighting up at her mention of the car. He'd been so busy thinking about how this place wasn't really home that he'd forgotten how parts of it would still be just like home though.

"My parents! My parents are probably downstairs! And- "

There was a bark, and a smooth-coat Chihuahua zipped around the door to his room, barking madly as he ran up to Sam.

"Mojo!" he cried, reaching down to pick his dog up.

From:

Wilke watched the rapid fire reactions and turned from the dog and boy reunion to Cassie. "Is he usually this ADD or is it just information overload?"

Personally, he was about as excited as Cassie was to meet Bee finally, but he did wonder just how Sam was going to explain waking up with a strange girl and guy in his room.

From:

"When he gets excited, words just tend to come pouring out. Sometimes not in order or even make sense." Cassie said with a shrug and a fond grin, even if the sight of Mojo made her hope Cissie would take care of Iris and Hermera for her. "Would you believe it's part of why I fell for him?"

From:

"Hey, they are always in the precise order that I mean to say them," Sam said, looking up from where Mono was licking his face. That wasn't entirely true because he didn't always think about what he was saying.

"And it's just subtly clever. So subtle you don't even notice it, but it's powerful."

From:

Wilke grinned at Cassie. "Well, it had to be something, didn't it? I guess that works as well as anything. And wouldn't be the first time the quirks won the girl over things like brains or muscles."

He cut a smirk in Sam's direction so he'd know he was teasing. "So, quirks and subtle cleverness? That's the formula, huh?"

From:

"Oh, he's definitely the quirking brains of this relationship." Cassie confirmed with a grin and a nod. "But then, there aren't many guys who could beat me at muscle. Period." It was just fact, super powers or no.

She came over to Sam and kissed him on the cheek before saying hello to the dog. "Well, aren't you cuter then I expected."

From:

"What? Hey, I have brains and muscles!" Sam said, glaring at both Cassie and Wilke, never mind that he knew that's not what Cassie liked about him. Well, not true, she really did like his abs.

"She is all about my muscles. Tell him how about my muscles you are."

From:

Wilke held up both hands. "No, really. I'm good. I believe you, you're so ripped, I'd be into you, too, if I played for the home team. No need for the explanation and all that."

From:

"I'll be all about your muscles when you can beat me in a fight." Cassie replied with another kiss to his cheek and a pat to his arm.

"Now, we'd like to meet Bee and I'd love to know how the hell you are going to explain us to your parents." Change of subject, just what was needed.

From:

"Yeah, well, next time your high and think my abs are so amazing you just- there- I will have consequences," Sam said, clearly not sure on just how that punishment would happen.

"And my parents! I have to go see my parents!"

Without another word, Sam bolted out his room and down the stairs.

From:

Wilke looked back and forth from the door to Cassie and back again. "I've seen overstimulated puppies with a longer attention span," he laughed.

He was teasing, but at the same time, wholly jealous. There wasn't any part of him that would bolt out of a room to see his parents. Not even a year later.

From:

"Can you blame him? He hasn't seen his parents in years." Cassie could only smile fondly, not even a little mad at being left. "I flew home seconds after to see my mom when we went to my home." Sure, she had something important to ask her, but that waited till after she'd hugged her mother for almost an hour. Diana and Donna's hugs were almost as long.

"The question is, do we follow him or stay here?"

From:

"I can understand it," Wilke shrugged. "I mean, I'm sure if Bay or Daphne ever get to go on one of these, they'll be knocking over small children to get to their parents."

He looked at the door. "I'd say give him a few minutes before he's got to start stuttering through explanations about why he's got two kids they've never seen before in his room. In the early morning."
