This is an ArceexBee fic. I felt like writing a transformers prime fanfiction and they don't focus on Bee enough in the Fanfiction and there are no relationships in the show. I like this pairing I think it is cute! Tell me if I should keep going or if you have suggestions.

I don't own this at all.

"Bee talking"

"Comm"

"Normal talking"

ENJOY!

The sun was high on the cool fall day in Jasper, Nevada. The black asphalt strip that sprawled through the desert was empty save for two vehicles speeding down the road. A yellow muscle car and a blue motorcycle. They looked like two normal vehicles but if one was to look at the driver of the motorcycle for a particularly long time they would notice that every so often the form would flicker, like a hologram, and then return to a normal, solid, human being.

The only other thing that seemed off is how close they were driving next to each other with such complete confidence that the would not collide. Human drivers were imperfect and could easily ram into one another when not paying attention, causing a gory crash.

The reason for these abnormalities was exactly that, they were not humans. They were autobots.

Bumblebee and Arcee were out on a patrol, it was really Bee's patrol but he had invited Arcee to come along and she had agreed. They were currently bored out of their processors since nothing had been detected the entire time and there wasn't much to talk about.

Bee decided to strike up a conversation, "Think we are going to find anything?" He queried.

"I hope so Bee, I'm getting pretty bored driving around finding nothing, on the other servo the only thing to find is cons and that is usually is not a very fun time."

"Yeah, but the cons are so scattered nowadays." Bee stated.

"It is strange that we haven't had much activity for the past few days," She said. She was going to say something else when Ratchet's voice came over the comm:

There is an energy signal in a forest near the edge of town, I'm sending you the coordinates.

"Okay Ratchet, we'll investigate." Arcee responded.

Do not hesitate to call for backup if necessary.

"Of course not Ratch' We aren't sparklings afterall." Arcee said indignantly.

Good luck. Ratchet commed as he signed off.

"Lucky us, we get to investigate a forest, because great things always happen to us in forests." Bee buzzed to Arcee. It was hard to get a tone of sarcasm using beeps and bloops but Bee tried his best and Arcee was usually good at getting what he meant. She hated Megatron for taking away Bee's voice.

"Yeah, not one of my favorite places earth has to offer." Arcee said un-enthusiastically.

Bee knew that Arcee was a bit apprehensive of forests, especially since Jack and her were attacked by that evil spider creep Arachnid. Bee saw that Arcee was masking her fear to appear strong, and he didn't hold that against her, he himself had fears like every bot else that he tried to supress. He would make sure to keep her safe while they were in the forest, and make sure that she felt safe as well. She was already dealing with enough after the stress of Cliffjumper's death and Jacks close encounter with the grim reaper. Bee wanted to be there for her and he intended to be.

They drove in silence for most of the way and simply observed the humans around them as they waited at various traffic lights while cutting through the town. But as they neared the coordinates Bumblebee could sense Arcee's unrest.

"We will be fine 'Cee," He said using her nickname to try and cheer her up a bit.

Arcee didn't answer instead she tilted her mirrors in a curt nod and sped off as soon as the light turned green.

The forest was a few miles out from Jasper's borders and there were not many humans around, so the autobots transformed and stood in front of the unorganized jumble of trees, which were looking more and more menacing as the sun inched closer to the horizon.

Bee checked the coordinates again, they were irritatingly smack dab in the middle of the vast expanse of trees. Bee didn't mind but he was worried about Arcee, he didn't mention it though, not wanting to set off the femme's anger time bomb.

"Well lets get going." Arcee said, walking into the foliage. She didn't have much trouble fitting under the relatively high branches of the trees, but bee had to duck a bit, occasionally snapping a low branch when he accidently straightened out.

The forest was pretty average compared to the pictures Bee had searched for on the web, it had tall trees as well as small ones, it had birds chirping, and it had filtered sunlight that cast a green tint on everything. Bee's armor looked lime green, and Arcee's looked like a strange shade of aqua, almost the color of treacherous ocean waters before a storm.

They walked without a word between them and each kept to their own thoughts. Ironically they were both thinking of each other.

Bee was thinking about how nervous Arcee must've been and Arcee was thinking of how she would hate for Arachnid to hurt Bee.

Arcee cared for bumblebee, at first she just felt as though he was a brother to her, but as time moved on she began to reach out to him to fill the void Cliff had left. She didn't want to tell Bee though, and risk him thinking that she just wanted someone to replace Cliff. He meant more than filling a void, he made her truly happy, he could make her laugh, he could lift her spirits in the darkest of times. She admired his always chipper attitude. He was a fighter and she was pretty sure he would never give up on anything.

Bee was very nervous at the moment. He didn't particularly feel like getting surprise attacked by an ugly spider bot and having to deal with a hysterical Arcee. Bee loved Arcee's ability to stay strong but it made him sad sometimes that he wouldn't share her feelings, but he was guilty if the same charge, he held things in too. Like his crush on Arcee, he kept that in for a good reason though, he could tell that she was still scarred from Cliff's death and he didn't want it to seem that he was taking advantage of her situation.

That was their relationship at the time. It was some sick stalemate that neither knew existed. It was like joke on these poor bots by Primus. Both had reasons to hold in their feeling and both believed that the other simply didn't feel the same way.

They were shaken out of their thoughts when they reached the coordinates. They had walked for quite some time and had finally reached the densely packed center of the forest. They looked around trying to detect anything that could be the source of the signal.

When Bee saw nothing with his normal vision he turned on his infrared vision. Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary, there were a few terrified animals, but Bee inferred that that was because they were seeing two giant robots I the middle of their home, not because there was some strange threat that could harm said robots.

Bee was partially right, the animals were afraid of the robots, but they were afraid of three robots that they saw, not two. There was another bot hiding in the ground, which most of the animals could sense getting closer.

Bee saw a deer and a family of foxes bolt for it and saw it as a bit peculiar but didn't think that it had anything to do with their safety. Little did he know that a certain spider bot was laying in wait directly below their feet.

Bee got a strange feeling that they were being watched, although his scanners showed no lifeforms in their vicinity. "Let's not split up. I have a feeling we should stick together." Bee said to Arcee as he looked around him at the unassuming trees and shrubs.

"Yeah I'd feel better not walking around alone in these woods. But I don't think we will be here much longer, because I don't see anything that could be the signal Ratchet picked up." Arcee said, deciding to comm Ratchet and tell him their findings.

"Hey Ratchet we didn't find much are you sure these are the right coordinates?" she said holding her finger to her ear to keep the comm link open

It took the old mech a few seconds to respond while he checked the signal, Yes, actually the signal actually exactly where you are standing .

"But we aren't standing on anything, Does that mean that its underground?" Bee commed

As soon as bee said that they realized what was going on. Their optics focused on the ground and then back on each other, they knew what was happening and it was not good.

Before they had time to process what they had concluded the ground at their feet rumbled and began to spray up in a fountain of dirt and rocks. A black and purple bot emerged as the ground split at her will. She pushed through the earth at a fast pace, knocking Bee and Arcee apart and landing them both on their afts.

They quickly regained their footing making optic contact and thinking of ways to rejoin and fight Arachnid together.

"Scrap," Arcee seethed clenching her denta and looking at her arch-enemy, Arachnid, standing on her spider-like appendages and glaring at Arcee with a sickly sweet smile.

"Hello Arcee, I see you were smart enough not to bring back that little pest you adore so much. But at least you're not alone," Arachnid said turning her head to look over her shoulder at Bumblebee.

He looked angry and protective, proving Arachnids suspicions. Unfortunately the Spider bot was particularly good at reading emotions and relationships between bots, and she used this skill as a tactic of torturing and terrifying all her victims.

Arachnid could tell by the way Arcee's gaze had shifted over to bee for a split-second when they were having a stare down that she felt the same way about Bee. This was just her lucky day, she had the bot she wanted to make miserable as well as a convenient way of making her feel that way all laid on on a silver platter.

She could crush Arcee's world without even laying a claw on her, and she intended to do just that.
