Hey Bee it's me Bia…again, gosh I hope this is the right number. All I know is that I keep getting messages of road noise so; well I guess it is you. Are you screening your calls? You are an advanced alien robot, I'm sure you can do that. Well, anyways I'm not sure what exactly I called to say… goodbye Bee.

It had been four years since he had left that night, four long years of only catching glimpses of Bia as she lived her life normally, just like she wanted. He occupied his time now with the Autobots, going on missions to keep his mind busy. Sam was furious' just like Bia suspected he was screening his incoming calls, even at times ignoring Sam completely because the topic of Bia was always brought up. When him and Mikaela had originally broken up Bee had been ecstatic, as he could mope for his best friend instead of trying to dodge question of his own ruined relationship, but when Sam moved on he lost his only outlet, so Bee cut himself off completely.
The calls were coming less and less, at first they were frequent, often she would call but hang up after only a ring, and then she got bolder, leaving at first silent messages then ones that actually contained sentences.
He would try calling her from time to time, but never found the voice to speak, he reveled in the times where she would spend minutes on the phone, repeating hello over and over again until hanging up.
The one time he had actually acquired the courage to finally speak up he was silenced at the sound of another man in the back ground.
"Hello….Hello is anyone there" Bee heaved a sigh as he listened to her queries. Clenching his fist he took a breath, ready to finally confront her, but before a word could escape he caved in on himself as another voice beat him to it.
"Baby who are you talking to? It's 2 in the morning, come back to bed." His optics dimmed and all the courage he summoned fled as his spark darkened.
"Coming Darren….Goodnight Bee" She whispered the last words and if he had tear ducts he would have wept, so instead he transformed and drove.
Bee sighed thinking about the memory of months ago, he didn't notice he began to drift out of formation until Sideswipe snapped him back to attention.
"Hey Bee, Watch it man!" the Camaro quickly fell back into formation and forced the memories to the back of his mind. Quietly chastising himself for letting them get the better of him, he had a job to do. With a renewed vigor he focused in on the task at hand as they closed in on the illegal nuclear base.

"Darren would you hurry up! Were gunna be late if we don't leave now!" Bia whined, crossing her arms and popping her left hip out. Darren hopped down the last few stairs, suitcase in hand and ever-present smile on his face.
"Chill out babe, I'm ready. Besides your cousin has never been one for punctuality, who cares if were a few minutes late?" Bia rolled her eyes at his laidback nature and turned to grab her purse and keys off the entry way counter.
"I care; I haven't seen Sam in almost a year. Besides the sooner I get there the sooner I see Carly, which means the sooner I can go shopping and get stuff done so we can get invites sent out-ah!" she frowned as Darren laughed at her surprised cry, tightening his grip around her waist.
"Relax Bia; we'll be there on time. I mean come on your talking to the two time Daytona 500 champion. If anyone can get us there on time its me." With that he plucked the keys from her hand and headed out to the awaiting car, leaving Bia to shake her head.
As they settled into the drive the low tone of the stereo lulled Bia into her thoughts, thoughts that always went back to him. She hadn't gotten a single call from him in 6 months. In some ways it broke her heart, in others it was a breath of fresh air. It had been four years since that night and she still was more confused than anything about her feelings towards the bot.
She ran, ran as far away as she could by moving across the country to Florida to attend school. There, fate took an ironic turn.

She nearly choked when a bright yellow and black Camaro slammed its brakes inches before hitting her, her heart rate returned to normal and she found herself disappointed when a man stepped out of the vehicle. Taking a closer look it was obvious that this car wasn't her long lost friend by simply a normal car.
"-oh god you're going into shock aren't you? You're not even responding, can you remember your name, how about your number, oh geez my manager is gunna kill me." Looking up to the babbling man for the first time Bia held back a blush. He was tall maybe 6'4, with shaggy brown hair and dark brown eyes that sat under thick lashes. He had a strong jaw line and a hint of stubble across his chin. A jacket covered in logos adorned his top and he had on a simple pair of black jeans. Shaking her head to clear her mind she smiled up at him.
"My name is Bia, I'm not in shock and it's impolite to ask someone their number when you haven't even given your name." the man's face turned into relief and he grinned down at her.
"I'm Darren, Darren Foyer."
It was cruel really, that the man she fell in love with loved cars, fast cars. Cruel that his prized possession was his yellow Camaro with black racing stripes that he loved to drive her around in. Cruel that he insisted on teaching Bia how to really drive, and make a total speed junkie out of her. She became a glutton for punishment, often imagining that the Camaro she sat in was in fact Bee, and that things were the way they once were. That as she sped down the empty track with Darren whispering directions in her ear that it was Bee guiding her through the motions as they dodged a barrage of missiles from a decepticon with a vengeance? At times guilt ate at her, feeling like she was in some way cheating on Darren, yet others she craved to just sit and drive, and allow her imagination to take over.
The drive to DC continued much the same, Darren had learned long ago that when Bia was in a mood to just let her be. He also knew about the Autobots, 3 years of being together forced most secrets out of the closet; he didn't miss how to jump around the topic of one Autobot named Bumblebee or 'bee' as she called him. Her eyes would get distance and her mouth would often turn into a frown at the mention of the name, from there she would drift off into what he assumed were memories, though good or bad he was never sure of. He quickly leaned to not bring up the topic of the alien robots all together as it seemed to drive her batty.
So the drive continued on quietly until they hit the 10 hour mark and her attention focused back onto him.
"where did you go?" he asked casually, not missing the way her shoulders tensed.
"Nowhere" was her answer as usual. He sighed.
"Gps says were 20 minutes out." She smiled and he returned it.
"great I'll let Sam know!" before she could pull out her phone he reached out and grabbed her hand, giving it a squeeze.
"I love you." She squeezed his back.
"I love you too."

~~
"Sammy!" Bia cried as she leapt from the car, it seemed they had perfect timing as he was just exiting his building, she ran forward and wrapped her arms around the grinning boy.
"Hey Bia, I was wondering if you two were ever going to show up." He returned the hug before the two broke apart. "Hey man!" he and Darren clapped hands before doing the bro hug that Bia never understood.
"Hey Sam, long time no see." Darren smiled, putting an arm around Bia's shoulders who was still beaming up at her cousin.
"Ya, too long. It's great that you guys could come out and spend some time with us."
"Of course! I mean since Darren is in the off season and everything we were more than happy to come out, I mean I have so much to do with Carly because let's be honest here time is running out." Sam smiled down at his cousin who continued to babble on, part of him feeling that Bee should be here to see her with him.
"Hey you guys must be exhausted, let me help you up to the apartment and get you settled in." Sam and Darren pulled the main suitcases out of the back of the Camaro, Sam giving Bia a pointed look at the cars make which she pretended to not to notice before the trio climbed the stairs. "Well you just missed Carly, but we'll all go out tonight and catch up." Sam set down his suitcase and smiled at the two. "sorry I can't hang around but you know, places to be, stuff to do." He shrugged and turned to leave only to hear someone follow after him. Turning around he saw Bia right behind him.
"I forgot my purse in the car. I'll be right back up Darren." She called to him. He gave a wave from the couch where he plopped down.
The two sat in the elevator in silence, until Bia broke it. "it really is great to see you Sammy." He smiled and ruffled her hair.
"You too Bia. You don't visit enough" she smiled and followed him out of the elevator. He lifted his coat into his teeth as he began adjusting his sleeves. Suddenly he stopped dead causing Bia to run into him, unable to see over him she peeked around him and her eyes widened.
"Sammy!" Judy cried, Sam's jacket fell from his jaw which had dropped open and he turned shoving Bia back inside who threw the boy a dirty look. "Ha-ha, very funny. Now come on" Judy called, Bia turned to dodge back into the elevator but Sam quickly wrapped an arm around her shoulder yanking her out into the line of fire with him. "Is that my little Bia!" Judy cried, and Bia tried to hide the wince, waving meekly.
"I missed you guys so much!" Sam halfheartedly said, never releasing his grip on Bia.
"Ditto "She muttered.
"Of course you did, so what do you think?" Judy asked gesturing to her and Ron's matching track suits.
"Cute!" Bia chimed in and Sam grinned at the hint of sarcasm that laced her voice as the two advanced on Ron and Judy.
As Bia was pulled into a large hug from Judy she tried to mask her annoyance.
"Sam didn't tell me you would be here" she said cheerily before glaring over her aunts shoulder to the grinning boy 'you didn't tell me they would be here' she hissed.
"Well they weren't supposed to be here for another week, you're early!" Sam cried, running a hand nervously through his hair.
"We just hauled ass in this thing, come here Bia" Ron pulled his niece into a hug which she returned, noticing the extra weight he put on, she made a note to scold his eating habits later.
"Hauled ass, this thing is a love tub it just flies!" Bia shook her head, her aunt and uncles weird ways never ceased to amaze her. "oh are we keeping you from something say, a job" she noticed the emphasis on the word job and her heart sank for her cousin. He still hadn't found anything? His face fell answering her unspoken question.
"It's a job interview." She watched as her adopted family's face's fell and stepped in to try and ease the tension.
"Oh wow, good for you Sam" Judy tried to be optimistic next to her but leave it to Ron to speak his mind.
"That sucks" Bia and Judy quickly chastised him for his words.
"You don't have to be so negative dad, I mean you're here in D.C. with your sun and your family, even Bia's here"
"Well it just sucks that you don't have a job"
"ya well there's good things to do, museums and monuments. I'll see you tonight." He was beginning to spit a little as he talked a sure sign that he was getting worked up and with that final statement he turned and walked away. Bia smiled awkwardly at her adopted parents and followed after him, them trailing after her.
"Sam, I think for and interview you should wear real pants"
"I think for life you should wear real pants." As Sam through open the garage doors Bia let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding. The crappy little car before her was most definitely not Bumblebee.
"What happened to Bumblebee?" Judy voiced her thoughts.
"He's off on his missions, I had to get this for backup."
"So your car has a job huh?" Sam stopped and rolled his eyes as he was getting into the beat up hunk of metal.
"Uncle Ron, stop it" Bia begged, noticing Sam's frustration.
"All I'm saying is the kid doesn't have a job, do you have a job?"
"Well, ya but-"
"No buts everyone has a job but him" Bia let out a huff and crossed her arms.
"What does it change into?" Judy asked and Bia found herself what Autobot would allow itself to be in such a state.
"It doesn't change into anything Ma, it's a collector's item; I got it for a steal. Just needs a little work" As if to emphasize his words the car sputtered continuously as the battery tried to turn over.
"I think it's lovely, reminds me a lot of Bumblebee" Bia scoffed, the color scheme maybe. Bee would never allow himself to look that crummy. "If Bumblebee were a sad piece of shit" Judy finished her previous thought and Bia found herself agreeing.
Part of her was disappointed though, that Bee wasn't sitting in the garage. Another part of her was relieved, not yet ready for that reunion. She wasn't sure which part was greater, so she just decided to go with relieved.
After a few more minutes of watches Sam's car sputter and die Bia stepped up to the window.
"I'll give you a ride, let me just go let Darren know" she smiled down at the frazzled boy who looked up at her gratefully.
"Oh no sweetie we'll take him. It looks like you just got here." Sam slammed his head onto the steering wheel as Judy spoke up.
"Oh really its fine, Aunt Judy. I don't mind at all, it will give us some time to catch up." But Judy was having none of that, already ordering Ron to unhook the car and yelling at Sam to hurry up.
He heaved himself from the car, suddenly looking ten years older as he stared at his parents run about the giant RV.
"I tried" Bia offered and he turned his look to her. She pulled a packet of gum from her back pocket and offered him a stick, to which he raised his brow at.
"Well you know, your breath gets a little gross when you're nervous." He rolled his eyes but grabbed a stick of gum none the less before trudging after his parents.
"I'll see you tonight Sammy! We'll go out for a drink or something!" he waved over his shoulders and she took one more minute to watch her new family bustle about the car, arguing back and forth the entire time. She shook her head smiling; they were quite the strange little family.
"Did you want to come with Bia?" Judy asked before climbing into the passenger seat. Quickly Bia shook her head.
"You know what, I'm good. I think that drive is finally catching up to me. But I'll see you tonight ok?" Judy smiled and waved before Ron pulled out into the street leaving a smiling Bia behind.
"Well that was a long purse run" Darren commented from his spot on the couch. The T.V. was flicked onto some day time talk show and he was peering over the couch at her.
"My Aunt and Uncle showed up." She said pointedly and he made an 'o' shape with his mouth before turning around and lazily flipping through the channels.
"Hey if it isn't Bee's girl!" she turned to see Wheelie come walking towards her. Another smaller bot with stringy looking hair trailing behind her.
"Hey Wheelie." She never cared much for the R.C car, but tolerated him. "Who's your friend?"
"This here is brains. Say hey brains."
"Hey!" she gave a weak smile at the two. Darren came to stand next to her.
"Hey hey hey, whose this kid?" Wheelie demanded.
"Darren meet Wheelie and brains, their Autobots." He nodded watched the two bots, Wheelie leered towards him.
"Hey take a picture punk it will last longer." He sneered, Darren raised a brow.
"So they transform." He asked. She nodded before turning to wheelie.
"Would you mind…"
"Anything for Bee's girl." She rolled her eyes.
"I'm not Bee's girl" but her retort fell on deaf ears as the bot transformed and Darren smiled down.
"impressive."
"Damn right it's impressive!" Wheelie shouted and Bia smiled. Even though she was miles away from Florida, Texas, and California she somehow felt at home.
