Important!!! Please Read!!!

The following fic is a small offshoot of my current fic "Ronin" with some references being made to my first TF fic, "The Departed".

If you're confused about certain elements within this one, you might want to skim/read through them to get the full backstory.

For everyone who's hung with me from those two, ya'll all know where this is comin' from!!!

Storyline Premise

A fun out take centering around an email Bumblebee sends around the Autobot base and the replies each one of them gives back.

Hey, this is pretty interesting! I think I'll send this to everyone here…they might get a kick out of it…well maybe not TC, but hey…it can't hurt! The yellow scout thought to himself, looking at the email he had opened on accident.

While he was well aware of the potential dangers involved in opening any kind of spam and junk mail that seemed to endlessly float through his "Bulk Mail Folder", the subject of the email, "Tell Me This", had managed to perk his naturally programmed curious nature.

While the questions were geared toward humans, the Autobot wasn't discouraged in the slightest.

I'll just make up a similar questionnaire using this one as a guide and then send it out from there! The yellow scout told himself.

Happy with his decision, the scout went to work on the email modifications, and within no time it seemed, from his finger tips typing madly away, he had finished his project.

Sitting back somewhat in the chair at his desk, he looked his answers over :

Does your name hold any significance in it's meaning?

I never really thought about that one. From what I could find out about the earth bumblebee, they're small but in certain instances, they can be deadly. Personally, I don't enjoy having to fight…who does? But if there's no other choice and it can't be avoided, then I will do what I have too.

Three words that best describes your self?

Cheerful, tough, fearless

If you were another mech would you be friends with you?

Sure! I think I make a pretty good friend!

When was the last time your optics flooded?

About a stellar cycle ago…when Jazz was almost taken offline for good.

Blowing things up or creating things to blow something up?

Blowing things up. It's easier.

Which Decepticon do you hate more? Starscream or Blackout?

Screamer, hands down. LOL

Favorite earth color?

Well I am partial to yellow…

;-)

If you had a choice for another earth alt mode what would it be?

You know, I've wondered this too…and I would have to say a boat…a really fast speed boat…that might be kind of cool! I've always wanted to glide over water and not worry about it shorting every circuit out (Hey, Ratchet, what do you think? Think you could modify me?).

Earth or Cybertron?

Could I split my time between the two?

What are you reading right now?

I do check out Marvel dot com every now and then to see what Professor X and Wolverine are up too…love the fights those X-Men get into!

Drinking energon until your optics are seeing shooting stars or 'connecting' until your optics stay rolled to the back of your head?

Holy Primus! Wow! Energon drinking is good. Connecting would be better. I can't decide. Can I have both at the same time? Is that too greedy?

Do you like the mech who sent this to you?

Well, I got this questionnaire through an email made for humans. I just modified it to fit Cybertronians. But I do like myself, if that counts!

Favorite personal saying/quote?

"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee."

Mech least likely to respond?

Definitely TC.

Whom do you want to reply the most?

Everyone!

Satisfied with his replies, and excited to read how everyone was going to respond back, the yellow scout made sure all his comrade's email addresses were in the box and then hastily pressed the "send" button at the top of the screen.
