  Summary

  So needless to say
  I'm odds and ends
  But I'll be stumblin' away
  Slowly learnin' that life is okay
  Say after me
  It's no better to be safe than sorry
  -Take on Me by a-ha.

  This isn't Charlie’s war, there’s no need for her to get involved. She can go home and pretend this crazy adventure with transforming alien robots never even happened. Or...she can get involved, and see what happens — it might just be fun.

  Or: a Charlie-goes-with-Bumblebee fic which spiralled into this continuity mashup/AU thing with a heaped side-serving of plot.
