Sam woke up to a scream. He immediately jumped out of bed and saw Mikaela glaring at Brains, 

"Brains I swear to god! If I catch you in our room ONE MORE TIME!"

Brains lifted his servos in defense, 

"Fine, fine, don't torch me again!"

Rover laughed, 

"It was funny when she did"

Sam sighed, 

"Just one peaceful morning,"

Mikaela laughed and kissed him, 

"You knew we wouldn't as soon as we kept Wheelie and Brains,"

Rover crossed his arms, 

"And me?"

Mikaela smiled and patted his head, 

"Rove, you are our family, we would never even think to kick you, we drag you everywhere we go,"

Wheelie grunted, 

"Favoritism,"

Sam laughed and smiled at Mikaela, 

"Yeah, I have to head to my interviews, my parents are going to stop by next week, are you ready?"

Mikaela sighed, 

"Never am, did you hear back from your sister and our cousins?"

Sam sighed and shook his head, 

"No, I hope they are alright,"

Mikaela hugged him, 

"You know as well as I do, one of the Autobots would contact us if anything happened to them,"

Sam smiled at her and kissed her, 

"You are right,"

Mikaela smirked and punched his shoulder, 

"Yes, I am, now come on hero, I have work and you have to get ready for that big interview,"

Sam sighed, 

"I have been searching for three months! You would think having an older sister as a Commander in the army or saving the world two times would make it easier to find something,"

Rover patted his leg, 

"Don't worry, you will find something,"

"I know...it just sucks,"

Mikaela smiled at him, 

"I'm heading out, see you when I get home?"

Sam kissed her, 

"Yes, and I hope to have a job by the time I see you next,"

Mikaela laughed, 

"I'll tell Carly you said hi,"

Sam chuckled, 

"Good, and if I see Alyss or Susan for some reason I'll do the same,"

Mikaela laughed, 

"Those two just pop up, but I think Alyss is working with Carly today, which means I might see Susan,"

Sam chuckled, 

"Okay, you give them my regards,"

Mikaela winked at him, 

"I will,"

Sam watched as she left on her motorcycle and sighed,

"I am so lucky to have her,"

Rover chuckled, 

"Yes, you are,"

Wheelie grunted, 

"I'm just happy she fixed my eye she broke,"

Sam rolled his eyes, 

"You two need to stay in the living room, no more bedroom! Or I'll get Maze to talk to you two again!"

Wheelie winced, 

"We will behave,"

Brains nodded, 

"Yeah, no need to get the powerful sis on our case,"

Sam chuckled, 

"Good."

He left his house and gasped when he saw his parents coming out of a van, 

"Mom? Dad?"

Judy smiled largely, 

"Sam! There you are!"

Ron patted his back, 

"You have grown!"

Sam sighed, 

"I thought you guys said the 21st, not the 11th,"

Judy shrugged, 

"Well, right here, this nice little RV is fast, so here we are! Where is my beautiful Mikaela? It's been so long!"

Sam sighed, 

"She's at work, mom,"

Ron glanced around, 

"How about Alexa or Maze?"

Sam sighed, 

"Also at work, you know they stay at their base. Maze came by a few months ago to see the place, and that's all,"

Judy sighed,

"Okay, well, are you off to work? You have a nice little tie!"

Sam sighed, 

"It's for an interview,"

Rover nodded as he made his presence known, 

"Sam has an important interview for a job!"

Ron picked up Rover and hugged the small Robot, 

"We missed you at home, Rover, you have to visit too,"

Rover laughed and hugged him back, 

"I know,"

Judy sighed, 

"Okay, we will see you off,"

Sam sighed and walked over to the garage, 

"Bee is out on missions, so I have this second-hand. Maze helped me get it,"

Judy frowned, 

"Well, he does have Bumblebee's colors,"

Sam sighed as he struggled to start the car, and Ron patted the hood, 

"Come on, let's give you a lift,"

Sam sighed but let his parents help him. He flunked the first few but jumped in excitement at seeing another offer, 

"Let's go! Another one! This is the one, guys!"

He walked into the office to see Bruce Brazos sitting down, 

"Sit,"

Sam nodded and sat down. Bruce looked down at his application,

"Got myself a Mr. Sam Witwicky, recent college graduate. Previous experience, next to zero, yet... he has a recommend letter from our board? W t f to that,"

Sam frowned in confusion, 

"Do I know somebody on your board?"

His only thought was somehow Mazikeen knew someone, but she stayed away from office people outside of the military. Bruce put down the files, 

"Here's the deal. You know who we are. Accuretta Systems, global leader in telecom, aerospace, seventeen billion in profit last year. We contract for DARPA, NASA, JPL, you name it. You perform here, doors open for you anywhere. The first job out of college is critical, kid. You either take a step down the correct career path or you fall into a life-sucking abyss." 

Sam nodded and Bruce crossed his arms, 

"Impress me,"

Sam's eyes widened, 

"Now?"

Bruce nodded, 

"Impress me,"

"You caught me off guard. I'm. I don't know where to begin,"

"Just impress me,"

"I-I'm an open book. Ask me any question you like,"

"So you a go-getter, ramrod-"

"Yes, sir,"

"Take charge kind of guy?"

Sam nodded, 

"Yes sir, a stone-cold killer,"

"So, take-charge kind of guy?"

Sam nodded, 

"Take-charge, viking, barbarian, of course, that's me. Pow! I'm here."

Bruce stared at him before grabbing a picture of himself and putting it in front of Sam, the picture was of him doing karate, 

"We are not looking for that here. No brown-nosing. No suck up. No toolery. I-"

He paused as he looked up and pressed a button on his work phone to get in touch with one of his assistants, 

"Yes, Mr. Brazos,"

Bruce narrowed his eyes, 

"Why is Shontel using what appears to be a red cup from the red floor when we are on the yellow floor?"

"I'm on it, sir,"

Bruce nodded as Sam watched a person throw the cup away as they passed by the desk,

"It is a visual and, therefore, a visceral betrayal. Stop it!"

Sam frowned as he heard his assistant, 

"Such a dumbass."

Bruce rolled his eyes as Shontel started crying, 

"Disgusting! Thank you! It's total anarchy around here."

Sam winced, 

"The email, uh, said administrative aide?"

Bruce shook his head, 

"Nope, mail room,"

Sam stood up, 

"I'm going to go,"

Bruce stood up and walked over to him, 

"Do you have any idea how many lvy League Phi Beta Kappas would kill to-"

Sam stared at him,

"Mister, I saved your life twice. Okay? I can't tell you how or when or why, but I have done shit that matters. And I'd just kind of like a job where I matter again. So thank you, but no thank you, okay? I know I deserve better,"

Bruce smirked and put a hand on his shoulder,

"You know what I think? You want the job after this job. But, son, this is the job that's standing in your way. And that's why you're gonna be so very very good at it. 'Cause when I look at you, I see a younger me."

Sam smiled and shook his hand, 

"I look forward to working with you,"

"Welcome to the team Mr. Witwicky,"

He was quick to run over to Mikaela and Carly's job and walked in, 

"Hello, I'm here to see Mikaela Banes and Carly Spencer,"

The assistant just nodded at him, and Sam quickly sped over to where he knew his girlfriend was, 

"Mikaela!"

Mikaela looked up and smiled largely as she looked at the person. She glanced at Carly, 

"Excuse me,"

Carly smiled, 

"Go talk to your little boyfriend,"

Mikaela chuckled and walked over to Sam, 

"You got the job!"

Sam hugged her, 

"I got it!"

Mikaela laughed, 

"I am so proud of you, Sam,"

Carly smirked, 

"Well, where is my little greeting, Sam? You think you know a guy after a while,"

Sam laughed and pulled Carly into a quick hug, 

"Hey, Carly, is your cousin here?"

Carly sighed, 

"Wow, only here for my cousin?"

Sam laughed, 

"Come on, we always know that,"

Carly chuckled, 

"Alyss and Susan are with the big boss right now. Susan doesn't like letting Alyss be alone with him-"

Mikaela crossed her arms, 

"Susan doesn't let Alyss alone with a guy period,"

Carly blushed and nodded, 

"That is very true,"

Sam chuckled, 

"Reminds me of Sophie and Alexa,"

Mikaela sighed dramatically, 

"Remind me to kick my cousin's ass if she doesn't start returning my calls,"

Sam laughed, 

"You take your cousin, I'll take mine, and Carly can take on Maze,"

Carly's eyes widened in shock, 

"Hold on, why do I have to take on your older sister, who is very much a Commander?"

Sam smirked, 

"Initiation,"

Carly rolled her eyes, 

"Some initiation,"

Mikaela laughed and patted her shoulder, 

"Nothing to worry about, Maze is a big softy,"

Sam shuddered, 

"Don't let her know you said that,"

Mikaela laughed. Carly and Mikaela decided to start giving Sam a tour of the place as it's his first time there, 

"You said you were his assistant curator, you didn't say the guy owns Space Mountain."

Mikaela chuckled, 

"I know. Isn't it beautiful in here? The cars are very nice, not as nice as our Bee but still nice,"

Carly nodded, 

"And, he's the coolest guy. Ever."

Sam smirked, 

"Not according to Susan,"

They turned to hear voices. Carly smiled at seeing her cousin, Alyssa.

Walking in right next to her is Amethyst, better known as Susan. 

Dylan Gould was talking to the two with a small smirk on his face. Mikaela smiled as they joined the small group, 

"Sam, this is Dylan Gould, our boss,"

Dylan nodded and shook Sam's head, 

"Nice to meet you, Dylan,"

"Sam! Pleasure meeting you. Carly and Mikaela have told me a lot about you."

"Well, vice versa. It's a- it's a beautiful building you got. It's like the Starship Enterprise in here."

They started walking as Dylan showed them all around,

"Heh-heh, thank you very much. It leaks. Now, before Carly and Mikaela came to help run the collection, it was just a... complete mess. But now, the restorations are back on track, we're going to Pebble Beach this year and we're gonna get a trophy for that stand right there. You know why? Because these two women right here are my secret weapon."

Carly blushed and swatted at his arm playfully, 

"Mr. Gould, please, you exaggerate. All I've done is get you organized,"

"And I simply helped get the cars in better shape,"

Dylan smirked at Carly, 

"Oh, you've done much more than that, my Duchess."

Amethyst narrowed her eyes at him, and Alyssa softly grabbed her arm with a tap. Sam slowly nodded, 

"Cool, nicknames,"

"Yeah. The Duchess."

An older lady, his assistant, smiled, 

"Wonderful ladies,"

"You know, when I stole her away from the British Embassy, I said: It's easy to manage a country. Try managing a priceless collection of art. Take a look at this 1939 Delahaye 165 Cabriolet. Designed by a Frenchman. Look at the curves. Elegant, isn't it? Beautiful. Sensual. Built to evoke the body of the ideal woman. Come on. My dad had a ten dollar desk and a dream, and he built it into an empire."

Sam glanced at Mikaela as Dylan didn't say her name but ignored the anger he felt. 

"Wow, okay,"

"We're the largest accounting firm in the U.S. I started up the venture side after he, ah, passed. Invest in the future. Try and bet on the winners. See, collecting cars helps me keep my sanity."

They stopped at some pictures, and Sam narrowed his eyes at the pictures that showed Dylan with Carly and one that showed Dylan with Mikaela and Carly. Dylan mostly kept his eye on the one with him and Carly. Sam slowly nodded, 

"You guys look great."

Carly slowly smiled, 

"Oh. That was a great day, Mr. Gould."

Dylan nodded,

"I haven't seen that one."

Carly shrugged, 

"Me neither,"

They kept walking as Alyssa glanced back at the picture in curiosity while Amethyst dragged her along. They finally departed from Dylan, and the group of five walked over to Sam's car with Mikaela's motorcycle right in front of it, 

"Oh. Here we go. Here we go. You see that? Judgment. Judging a man by his car? And you're gonna wave at him while he's judging me?"

Carly and Mikaela frowned. Carly grabbed his arm, 

"What's with you? He's Mikaela and I's boss,"

Mikaela nodded and stared at him, 

"Yeah, he is the reason we can pay for rent and food,"

Amethyst crossed her arms,

"I'm with Sam, I don't like that guy either,"

Alyssa rolled her eyes, 

"You never did,"

Amethyst nodded and pointed at her, 

"I have never once gotten good vibes from him,"

Mikaela sighed, 

"Okay, everyone calm down. Susan, you and Alyss can take my motorcycle, I'll ride with Sam and Carly,"

Amethyst's eyes brightened and she hugged Mikaela, 

"You are so beautiful, Mikaela, I love you for eternity,"

Mikaela laughed and patted her back, 

"Just don't crash,"

When they left, Sam continued rambling, 

"I totally understand. I'm totally fine. I get it. I'm well fed. And guess what? I'm not your boy toy anymore. I got my big boy pants on. You see them? In the car. Please,"

Mikaela and Carly shared an amused look before Carly got in the back and Mikaela opened the passenger seat door, 

"Are you threatened by him?"

Sam narrowed his eyes at her, 

"Threatened? What am I threatened by? His money? His power? His good looks? None of the above. Check!"

Mikaela laughed, 

"Don't worry, Sam, you are the only one for me. Okay?"

Sam sighed and smiled at her, 

"Okay,"

Then they drove off.
