Transformers: Age of Extinction (Reader Insert)

(Y/N) POV

"Look I came up short, I had to buy Tessa a prom dress. You want me to deny her a prom dress?" Cade looks at Lucas with a sarcastic but genuine question.

"You might as well. You denied her a prom date. " Lucas turns.

"No, I offered to take her in chaperone."

"Nobody wants to go to the dance with their dad."

I walk away and head over to the truck driver. "Could you just back it up into the barn?"

With a small nod and smile, the truck turns on and I go to open the barn doors. The truck driver leaves and I assist Cade and Lucas in unloading the rest of the things like projectors.

I begin to look through the truck before realising the time. "Shit. Cade, I gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yep, see you (Y/N). Don't do something stupid."

"That's something I should be saying to you." I call back as I walk out of the barn and to my Ute.

I turn on the ignition and drive to the road. It only takes be about 10-15 minutes to get home. Closing my car door, my key reaches into my door and unlocks it. With an easy push, I make my way to the kitchen, closing it behind me. I grab a slice of pizza from the fridge and plop down onto the couch before watching TV for a little. It reaches 8pm and I have a shower and change before sleeping.

Bright. I forgot to close my curtains again. The light pours from my window and onto my face and bed. My day off, finally. I sit up and go through my morning routine before locking up the apartment and heading to my car.

I get to Cade's place just after Lucas.

"Tess, I'm basically you uncle. Su casa es mi casa. And we're gonna lose the casa." Lucas says, holding out the eviction notice from the door.

"Dad!" Tessa calls out as we head to the barn.

"Coming!" Is the only reply we get.

"Are you working with lasers? If so I'm not coming in."

Cade opens the door as we get to it. "You guys I have never seen a truck like this before. Get in here, lock that door"

"It doesn't have a lock" Lucas says as he pulls it shut, being the last one to enter.

"Look. Look at the hole in the radiator. Look at the size of it. Something blew a hole in it." Cade hastily walks around the room, showing up different parts of the truck. "It's not normal steel. The shrapnel i. The engine, I ripped all the connections apart. And watch. And this took some Cade genius.you are gonna love this. When I hook this back to a working battery." He hooks it up and the truck shakes, lights flickering, sparks scattering.

"Calling all... Calling all Autobots."

He unhooks it and looks at us. "Oh yeah. I don't thing it's a truck at all. I think we just found a transformer."

"Tran.. uhh- Evacuate!!" Tessa and Lucas run outside and Cade and I share a glance before following them.

"Dad? Are you out of your mind?! You need to get that thing out of here." Tessa is borderline freaking out.

"You don't have to worry. I've been in there working all night. I'm fine."

"You know what? That's not a truck, okay? You're right. It's an alien killing machine." Lucas isn't helping much.

"Dude it's DOA. It's been recalled, totalled, done." Cade looks at me for a bit of help and I nod a little. I didn't want them to tell the feds. One of the first interesting things to happen to me and they aren't taking that away.

"So, listen, there's a number that you call. You're supposed to call the government. It's the American thing to do. You're supposed to call, and if it ends up being alien, then you win $25,000." Lucas rambles on.

"You don't win money." I look up at him giving a face that would make a normal person think they're stupid.

"And if you can capture it live.. like tag it like a wild wildebeest, you get $100,000."

"Dad we're making the call."

"I've see the commercial, they don't say that. That's not a guarantee. Look, if that's a transformer there from the battle of Chicago, I need to know how it works. I'm an inventor. This can be a game changer for me! If I can apply that technology to my inventions, we never have to worry about money again."

"I've heard that before."

"Give him a break." I look at Tessa. She knows how hard he tries yet she'd say that?
