Okay so I was watching the TF movie – the first one – and I was thinking about it and I was hit with inspiration. BOOM! I've been looking for an idea that will work for me and I think this is it. Let's hope so. Oh, just a warning – I am so anti-SamXCarly or Sarly or Cam or WTH it is, it's not even funny. I loved Mikayla and I don't know what the movie people's problems are for replacing her. Anyway… I am also very pro-BumblebeeXTBA guest star so you'll see a lot of that. So…yeahh. Anyway, there is no slashy stuff between BB and Sam, just getting that out there right away. They're just really close friends. R&R, enjoy!

Prologue

Sam

"What's a Cortical Psychic Patch?" I asked Lennox. He looked over at me as we swept through the double doors.

"It's some sort of link between the minds of two bodies to allow minds to travel between them." He replied. "But like I said, this isn't a CPP." I huffed a laugh.

"Yeah, and the fact that he'll be stuck in the new human body that you guys genetically engineered is supposed to be comforting?" I asked sarcastically. Lennox dropped his gaze.

"The experiment is totally safe. He'll be monitored at all times, and Ratchet can hit the CANCEL button if things get out of hand." He tried to reassure me. I clenched my fists.

"Lennox, this whole thing isn't safe. I've asked about it and if there's even a slight miscalculation, Bee could be lost forever – outside of his body. He'd be like a ghost, living in Limbo without any hope of escape for all of eternity." I said, trying to get it through to him that this was a bad idea. Lennox sighed.

"Look, Bumblebee volunteered to do this. He's the best scout Optomis has ever had." He said.

"He's also the best friend I've ever had." I stressed. "And I don't want to lose him like this."

We swept through the last row of double doors into the main area that had been set up to look like a cross between Dr. Mengele's office and an airport. The airport part had been there the whole time. The office part made me want to grab Bumblebee and run. Only the fact that Bee was five times my size and weighed about as much as a Camaro stopped me. I swallowed hard, looking at Bee. He was on the larger of two operating tables. They were white, polished and made of a material easy to wipe clean if any Energon found its way onto them.

For the first time, I realized how small Bumblebee looked compared to Ratchet and his doom tools. He was sitting up, his legs dangling over the side looking like a kid at his first doctor's appointment. I crossed my arms, my knuckles clenched white on my barely-visible biceps. Lennox coughed discretely and Bee looked up, his eyes brightening when he saw me.

"Sam." His radio chirped. "I'm glad you could make it."

"Wouldn't miss it." I replied, keeping my voice as steady as I could. Bee raised an eyebrow, sensing my discomfort.

"Don't worry::Everything will be all right::I promise." He reassured me. I laughed - only a little hysterically. He could see right through me, just like usual.

"I know. You just be careful in there." I told him.

"Promise." He held up a giant hand, moving it over his chest in an X. "Cross my::Spark::and hope to die." I laughed again.

"I'll hold you to that." I told him, trying to hide my fear at the word 'die'. He couldn't die – he was an Autobot. He was supposed to outlive me by a million years or so.

"If you two are done…" Ratchet hinted irritably. Then again Ratchet did everything irritably. I shut up and Bee laid down on the table just as Optomis walked in, followed by half a dozen Autobots I didn't recognize, Bulkhead and Wheeljack – wreckers – and a 'femme' named Arcee who had just recently arrived on Earth. Bumblebee waved at them, and Arcee and Bulkhead waved back. The others nodded, but Optomis walked over to his scout. Bee sat up as he approached.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" He asked. Bee nodded enthusiastically and Optomis sighed. "Then I will wish you good luck and a safe return, Bumblebee." Bumblebee nodded again, saluting comically before Ratchet forced him to lie back down.

"Everybody needs to clear the area." He said. "I'm working here!" He began to hook up a bunch of tubes to Bee's chest which Lennox explained would keep Bee's body stable while he was operating the genetically engineered human body. I looked at the human body, studying it.

It was the body of a teenager, a kid maybe even younger than I was. He had messy blond hair and tannish skin. He was wearing jeans and a yellow tank top with black stripes along the neck and arms. I tried to conjure up some negative feelings for the body, but I couldn't. If there was a human body in the world that Bumblebee would look normal in, it was that one – no matter how much I wanted it not to be.

"Everyone stand back." Ratchet said, hooking up the purple tubes to both of them. I looked at Bee one last time. He caught my eye and flashed a thumbs-up to reassure me once again. Lennox got my attention, explaining the dangers the process would pose to human bystanders like us.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes when Lennox gave the command. The light would be bright enough to blind a normal human. I buried my head in my arms, knowing that when I opened my eyes, Bee would either be human or dead.

3rd person

Megatron was dead. Sentinel Prime was dead. But the Decepticons lived on.

Black Arachnia ran her fingers along the keyboards in the heart of the Decepticon warship. All the commanders who hadn't been killed, including Lugnut, Blitzwing, Soundwave, and the creepy one who stood in the back, had assembled before her.

"Megatron's death is a great loss to the Decepticons." Black Arachnia began. "But we shall carry on." She turned to them, smiling wickedly. "It's time for the Autobots to discover our real goal on Earth."

So, how was it? Do you like, do you not like, are you going to pretend you never saw it? Come on, tell me! REVIEW!
