Mark hopped over a fence, he needed to get a car... just not an alien one. One of them said Chris knew something and now Mark wanted to know what was going on. Mark walked over to Chris' house, he had a bad feeling about this he wasn't sure what Chris would say this was horrible.
Mark walked to the door and knocked on it, Come on Chris, open up." Mark muttered knocking on the door again.

Chris shot up in his bed, looking over at his alarm clock at the sound of knocking on the door. Who the hell was knocking on the door at four in the morning? He was sure his brother was asleep in the other room, and his Uncle Richard was at work. As a police officer he was very busy, and had been called into the station late that night. He dragged himself down the stairs pulling on jean shorts along the way. Upon arrival he opened the door, focussing his eyes, he saw Mark. "Mark, do you realize it's four in the freakin' morning?" His speech was slurred and he looked dead tired as he said this.

"Ummm.. Mark looked at his watch, it was four AM perfect. Not only did he have a horrible day, he was probably gonna get yelled at when he got home. "Not really dude, but I gotta talk to you," Mark said, he knew Chris would be pissed but why else would he come over here at four AM unless it was really important?

"If you weren't my best friend, I'd kill you for this." Chris muttered slightly, opening the door wider "And if your parents ask I din't house you here." He added, then looked at him, blinking and trying to get his bearings "What are you doing up this late anyway?"

Mark simply nodded, "To tell you the truth I had no idea it was this late, I have had the weirdest day ever." He took a breath before continuing. "OK so I was hanging out at the track and saw this guy who was winning races like one after another and after he finished I left. A few minutes later I ran into him again and he offered me a ride, and here's where it gets weird, he tells me his car pulls nine thousand horses right and then it turns out that he is the car and..." Mark let his voice trail off he knew he must be sounding insane right now, it was four AM and Chris was probably too tired for this.
"Long story short talking cars said something about you, and here I am," Mark said, he wasn't sure what Chris would do, or how he would react he figured he would just have to wait and see.

"Ok Mark, I think we both know why... You fell asleep and had a really bad dream... I mean, really talking cars?" Chris did his best to lie, albeit he never was good at lying but he was still trying "Last time I checked I never met any talking cars... Are you sure you didn't just have a little too much to drink?" MArk never really had alcohol due to the age restriction, unlike most teens, as far as Chris could tell. But he prayed it was one instance that he had.

"No it couldn't have been a dream 'cause..." He fished through his pockets for a second, "I still have the ticket stub from the track today or erm yesterday." Mark said holding the little piece of paper. Mark noticed Chris' voice, "You're not a good lier y'know especially to someone who knows you." Mark said, it may have been because Chris was tired or it may have been because he was hiding something but Mark knew something was up with Chris.
"OK Chris, why did those... things talk about you? How did they even know about you??" Mark asked, this was really weird he almost wished it was a dream or that he was even drunk but he didn't drink...unless he was at a party or something but almost no one even knew about that.

"Dude, you wouldn't want to know why those... Ok, you want the truth?" Chris told him, rolling his eyes "My Dad's Optimus Prime." He knew that every human in tune with the news or not knew who Optimus Prime was. He was as big of a name as the President himself ever since the Transformers revealed themselves. "That's why my Dad hasn't been around until now, I was born on another planet."

"Chris this isn't the time to be joking......." A wave of realization hit him, "You're not joking are you?" He half asked half stated. He had heard about Optimus Prime on the news, "But.. how? I mean you seem like normal, what you can turn into a car too?" Mark asked looking at Chris, he had know the guy for years he never noticed anything off about him. "What about your brother?" Mark asked, disbelief in his voice.

"Mark, first of all breathe... Secondly, I don't know if I can transform. And thirdly, yes, David's Dad is Optimus too." Chris took a deep breath " And no, i am not joking I am seriously half-Autobot." He then added, holding up a hand "And I beg you not to ask how that's possible... Because that is one conversation I never asked my Dad.... And don't plan to ask him."

Mark took a step back and leaned against the side of the house, this was a lot of information to absorb. For once Mark was speechless, his best friend, the guy he had known his whole life was a half alien robot from another planet it was just insane. "Um... erm... Mark still had no idea what to say, "So have you met a lot of them?" Mark asked finally finding the words, he was interested in them, when they didn't surprise him.

"I know almost all of them." Chris replied with a matter-of-fact tone. Shaking his head. "My Dad is supreme commander after all... I grew up for a while around them." He explained "I mean, after all, Dad was a busy mech, he had to have some help raising me next to my Mom..." He grew silent on the subject of his Mom, he still wasn't fully accepting of her death. And he wasn't sure he ever woudl be.

"Cool..." Mark said at the 'knowing almost all of the autobots' statement. Mark kept quiet after that though, the info overload along with the fact it was four AM was really starting to drain him. If it weren't for the fact he was leaning against a building he might have fallen asleep right then and there.
With Mark's mind being half asleep and half overloaded he couldn't really think of anything to say when Chris spoke of his mom, it was probably for the best Mark was pretty sure Chris wanted to drop that subject.

"Look Mark, I know this is a lot to take in." Chris commented, shaking his head "This is exactly why I didn't tell you, it would be too much for you to take in." He commented, he then added "You should go home, get some rest, and... You know, try to calm down after all that's happened." He suggested.

"Uhhh..." Mark said looking at his watch, it was like 4:42 and there was no way he was gonna fall asleep after all of this but he could try. "Guess I'll see you later, how bout we meet up at..." Mark thought for a moment, the mall? Nah too over done, "Bobby Bolivia's," Chris could say no or suggest another place, Mark didn't really mind he just wanted to go home and lay down or something.
