Mitch was having an off day.
Then again, Christmas was probably the worst time of year for him. The time that everyone enjoyed "family" time, and all the kids at Rescue Bot Academy couldn't help chattering about the much longer break. Mitch didn't share their excitement at all, as even the instructors were probably going home to be with their families. So that left Mitch no point than to go back to Witwicky in a couple of days and pretend it wasn't annoying through the new year.
So he'd decided to go into the woods and blow off steam.
Would he probably be in trouble if someone found out he'd snuck a training blade off campus? Sure! Did he care? Not really. Instead he used it against the larger tree stump he'd found and let off a volley of, at times anger, at times frustration. He'd been at it for about two hours when he finally slumped down to sit and rest. "Man... Who knew that would feel so good," He joked to himself and took a sip of the water bottle he brought with him. "Need to do that more often."

Her legs were killing her. She didn't know how long she had been walking, what Parthia did know was that she was lost. When you like to walk and you like the forest, you lose track of time... and direction too. If she called her mother, Parthia was sure that she would ground her for the whole next year. And not to mention Tech, she was trying to stay neutral all the time so that her Transformer wouldn't feel her anxiety and fear. Not when Parthia was not there to calm her down.
Finally she decided to rest and not caring that she ruined his clothes, she dropped to the ground and leaned against a tree. She saw herself for a moment. She was wearing a black workout top and blue lycra pants with Optimus Prime's ax imprinted on her left thigh. In addition to her Bumblebee-themed sneakers, yellow, black, and with what appeared to be little horns on the sides. Oh and she also carried his black bag with the symbol of the Autobots where her phone was (which had no signal) the keys to her house, a bottle of water and also a pair of scissors. The last thing in case Parthia found a pretty flower on the way home... If she came back...
"No, no, no! Stop it, Parthia" She said to herself, trying to calm down "If night comes, I won't have other choice but to call Tech. And she will help me get home fast. And If mom asks me why so late, I'll tell her that I finally found someone to talk about Transformers! The perfect plan!" But first she will rest. And then she'll see where to go.

Mitch was a little startled when he heard noise out here.
Honestly, he usually figured that he was alone out here most of the time. The woods were dense, and not a lot of people would be around there, would they? Mitch wasn't sure - at least in his opinion he wouldn't be out here unless he needed to blow off steam. Still, he did shake off his feelings a little bit and decided to call out. Honestly, showing up with a sword was probably not the best idea. "Hello? Is somebody out there?" He called, squinting his eyes.
He sheathed his sword at least for the moment.

She went perfectly still as soon as she heard the other voice. It was male and it seemed to be quite young. But she knew that she shouldn't trust when she was lost in the woods. Parthia slowly grabbed her bag and pulled out her scissors, trying to make as little noise as possible. Then she stopped and, still hidden behind the tree, she began to speak "Don't come near if you don't have good intentions!"
Maybe it had been a mistake to speak up in the first place, but she was lost and she really needed any help she could get to get back home safely without involving her mother or her Transformer. And if this stranger knew the way back to Witwicky, then he would use the opportunity. But she needed to be cautious and try to control her fear. She wouldn't trust him just like that.

Mitch actually found the response kind of amusing.
All of a year ago, Mitch probably wouldn’t have been the person you wanted to meet in the woods. After all, he’d run with his uncle who had treated everyone including him like garbage. But these days, at least, he was a good guy right? He’d have to be to be training to be a Rescue Bot of all things. Still it had been a while since he’d gotten that kind of response and to be honest it amused him.
“You can come out if it makes you more comfortable, I’m not a bad guy,” Mitch replied with a bit of pride. “Rescue Recruit Mitchell Bates at your service.”

She calmed down when he heard the other say he was a rescue recruit. However, you still couldn't fully trust, so he slowly walked behind the tree still with scissors in hand, just in case. Then she felt a little stupid. The rescuer was younger than her. But one was never too sure.
"Hey there... Do you have any ID with you?" She asked and then looked at the sword. She started again, gripping the scissors tightly in her hands. This situation seemed so out of a horror or suspense movie that she wanted to laugh, run or joke about it. She didn't do anything, she just stood there, looking at the youngster with wide eyes.

Mitch imagined he should have had his ID on him.
But of course he also didn’t think about those things. Like ever. He was just out on his own after all. And practically everyone in Autobot City knew about him. So it wasn’t like he needed to have everything right? “Uhhh no, sorry, but I am wearing my uniform,” he pointed out the very official looking clothes. “If it’s the sword, I promise. I was just doing some uh.. Training.”
Well, blowing off steam. But honestly? How bad would it look if he’d literally just taken a sword out to start acting out his frustrations. “My name’s Mitch,” he told the somewhat older looking girl. “What’s yours?”

His clothes were official? She couldn't tell. Things were very different from Greece...but Mitch didn't know that. And therefore, there would be no reason to lie... right? Sh e took a deep breath to try to calm down a bit more "Parthia, that's my name"
"...I don't think training in the forest is the safest thing for you to do..." She couldn't help but think that, and say it too. Sword or no sword, this was a forest. There would surely be animals and... other dangerous things. Fortunately, she hadn't run into anything or anyone... Maybe she wasn't so lucky after all.

Parthia?
Well she was definitely not from around here he gathered. After all, who knew anyone with that unique a name? Which wasn’t a bad thing, it just threw him off guard. “Nice, where are you from?” He asked. “Your name‘s so unique, I dig it.”
A bad place for training? Probably. But Mitch didn’t really think too much on it. He’d faced a lot of horrible things with his uncle, been forced to do a lot of terrible things he’d probably never tell about. But… Still. “I’ve been through a lot worse than anything this place can throw at me,” Mitch replied. Maybe arrogantly, he didn’t know. “What are you doing out here? Did you get lost?”

Oh right her name. It wasn't exactly unique. She was named after an empire of classical antiquity "I am from Greece"
She rolled her eyes, although it really wasn't that obvious, if people trained in this forest by chance. She wondered what had happened to this boy at such a young age to not be afraid of the forest "...Yes, I'm lost...You don't happen to know the way to Witwicky?" Maybe this was his chance to come home! A little more walking was not a problem.

Greece? Damn she was a long way from home.
Honestly, Mitch felt a bit of jealousy. He’d always wanted to go overseas but had never really gotten the chance to. One of the things that had honestly sealed the Rescue Bots for him had been that they traveled. Sometimes even the world. So maybe he’d get that chance someday. “Damn, Greece? What brought you all the way here?”
Oh, Witwicky? That one was easy, at least if you asked someone like him. But at the same time she had gone a long way out hadn’t she? “Oh you must have really been lost,” he stroked his chin. “Because you’re practically to Autobot City by now. I can probably help. But you’re looking at a long walk.”

Wait... did she hear correctly? Had the boy just said...? "Autobot City? You mean... like... The AUTOBOT CITY? Like... Metroplex?!" She had to cover her mouth with her hands and try not to make a scene in front of this total stranger. But her glove was too shiny. How could it not!? She was close to the LARGEST AUTOBOT KNOWN IN HISTORY!!!
She took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down. Once she thought she could speak well, she continued "Well-Well... my mother couldn't keep the house on her own and... well... she wanted me to continue my studies and... an old acquaintance called her one day and... well... here I am..."
"And don't worry, I like to walk. How do you think I got lost in the first place?" He said, pointing to his clearly sporty clothing, with clear references to the Autobots.

She must have been a fan huh?
Mitch wasn’t surprised about that. He guessed that honestly, it was a big deal for kids who had grown up in the rural areas around Witwicky. Or in her case, in somewhere far away like Greece. “Oh yeah! That’s where I live… I mean, obviously, recruit and all,” he explained honestly. “Ohhhh… That sounds rough. I’m sorry that you guys went through that. I uh, can relate, kinda…”
Oh, true, he guessed she would have had to be walking to get lost wouldn’t she? Not that he had actually thought about it but… “How long were you walking anyway?”

So, in this country, rescue recruits were trained in METROPLEX?! She had to start doing a lot more research on that. But she was not going to change careers. She loved history and wanted to become a graduate. That had been her dream since forever. It was even more mysterious. This boy much younger than her seemed to have been through things he shouldn't have to face at his age. Her maternal instinct was giving her signs of it.
"Hmmm... I dunno... maybe an hour or more so..." She finally decided to put her scissors back in her bag. She just hoped she wouldn't need them in the near future "I just... you get so lost in your own thoughts walking through places so full of life. In Saloníki there was only the sea and many buildings..."
