I know I know. I really should be working on other stories but darn it let me have my fun! Anyway, I've had the idea of Bumblebee being a femme for awhile now. Just too lazy to write it. That and this story came in other forms. First I thought maybe a new invention of one of the Decepticon's hits him and then he turns femme. But after trying to write the first chapter I decided to scrap the idea.
Then I tried thinking of a way to start the story again. I thought why not have Bumblebee had been created a femme but everyone thought he was a mech and he just rolled with it. Then I was like 'Okay, why would he tell everyone he was a mech?' so yet again I scrapped the idea. Then I thought of this! Now this story shall be written! Hope you enjoy it! Oh and if you read my other stories by now you probably know this but incase you don't if the text is in this format it's either a flashback or thought.
Disclaimer- I don't own ANY characters in this story nor Transformers Animated. Though the made-ups are mine.
Mech Today…Femme Tomorrow
Chapter One
"Please! There has to be some way to change her back!" the femme yelled as fluids leaked from her eyes. The medic bot just stood in front of her with a frown.
He sighed and started to speak "I'm sorry. She was badly damaged. We're lucky she's even still alive! I'm sorry that we made a mistake and accidentally…changed your daughter…into a mech. But at the moment…there's nothing we can do."
The femme was about to yell again but then she repeated the medics words in her processor. "Wait…at the moment? You mean something can be done later on?"
The medic just stared at the femme then nodded "We may have changed her body and some of the wires and programs but the femme side of her is still in her processor. Probably awhile after she turns fifteen-thousand…then we'll be able to change her back."
"And if we don't?" the femme questioned. The medic looked at the ground and turned away but before leaving the room he said "If we don't change her back into a femme when it's time…she'll go insane and end up destroying herself."
The femme just stood there as the medic left the room. She slightly nodded as she eyed the ground "I'll make sure to bring her back here…and turn her back into the femme she was created into."

This was fifteen-thousand years ago. The femme died in a Decepticon battle ten-thousand years after her daughter was turned into her son. The young bot was never told that he was once a she.
The mech was put in a boot camp. Later on he was put onto a repair crew. That repair crew one day disappeared while protecting the All Spark. The Autobot Elite Guard found them on a planet known as 'Earth'.
After going back to Cybertron the three Autobot Elite Guard soldiers were later sent back to Earth…to retrieve the young bot…and turn him back…into a femme.

"Bumblebee! You little glitch head! Where are you?" Ratchet yelled as he stormed around the base looking for the young bot.
"Why are we looking for him anyway?" the young human girl asked as she walked along side the old medic. Ratchet just looked down at her as he kept walking.
"Because, it's time for a systems check. For some reason the kid hates them. Anything that has to do with checking his system makes him turn into a cowering little cry bot!" Ratchet said but he yelled the last part.
"I am not a cry bot!" a familiar voice yelled. Ratchet just grinned and headed in the direction of the voice. Sari just followed after him with a sigh. This was how Ratchet usually tricked Bumblebee into coming out of his hiding spot. By insulting him.
"There you are!" Ratchet yelled. A yelp was heard as the old medic grabbed the young yellow bot from behind a few metal boxes in the main room.
"Let go! I don't want to die!" Bumblebee yelled as he tried to get Ratchet to release the grip he had on him.
"You're not going to die kid." Ratchet said annoyed as he started walking to the med-bay with the younger bot. "How do you know?" Bumblebee asked angrily.
"Because, you've been through system checks before! Nothing ever is wrong with you." Ratchet said as they neared the med-bay.
"Shows how much you know…" Bumblebee mumbled. "What was that?" Ratchet asked raising an optic ridge. "Oh nothing…"
The two soon reached the med-bay. Sari wasn't too far behind them and walked in as Ratchet placed Bumblebee down on the medical berth. The young bot was about to get up and run out but refrained himself as his commander Optimus Prime walked in.
"Boss-Bot? Thought you went on patrol with Prowl?" Bumblebee said eyeing his leader. Optimus turned his attention to the young bot "I needed to talk to Ratchet about something urgent. So I had Bulkhead go with Prowl."
Ratchet looked at Optimus and spoke "The urgent message can wait. I gotta run a system check on the youngling before he runs off again."
"No no. It's okay. My check up can wait." Bumblebee said happily. "Nice try kid." Ratchet said grinning at the young bot. He turned back to Optimus "You can wait outside the med-bay for a nano-click. Guard the door just incase the kid makes a break for it."
Optimus smiled slightly. He walked outside the med-bay and the door closed behind him. Bumblebee just stared at where his leader once stood. He then turned to Ratchet who came closer to him. The medic had some hook-up wires in his hands. Ones he would be hooking up to Bumblebee's network.
Bumblebee whole body started to shake. "It'll be okay Bumblebee." Sari reassured him as she stood by the med-bay door.
Bumblebee just stared at the human girl till he noticed Ratchet was standing right in front of him. "I'm so gonna die…" the young bot said frowning.
Ratchet just sighed. He opened a panel on Bumblebee's head and stuck about three wires into the correct compartments. He then opened Bumblebee's chassis and stuck the last five wires in the correct compartments.
The old medic walked over to his medical systems computer and soon Bumblebee's system data appeared on the screen. Ratchet looked through some of the data. Nothing seemed different. Not like he expected anything to be different though.
Bumblebee just sat on the medical berth. He stared at the ground. Only looking up a few times to catch a glimpse of the medical screens with all his system data on it.
Ratchet continued to look through the data. "Almost done kid." Ratchet said smiling back at the young bot, who gave him a frown in return. Ratchet looked back at the monitor and his optics widened slightly. 'W-what the spark.'
Ratchet typed rapidly on the giant keyboard as he re-read some of the data. Trying to make sure that he had read wrong. The horrific expression remained on his face plate. Everything he was seeing on the monitor…was true.
Ratchet slowly turned to Bumblebee, who was once again staring at the ground and waiting for the system check to be over with. Ratchet slowly got up off the metal chair he was sitting on and walked over to Bumblebee. He quickly removed the wires and grabbed Bumblebee's arm.
The panels where the wires had once been closed. Bumblebee almost fell as Ratchet pulled him off the berth. "Hey!" the young mech yelled angrily.
Ratchet pushed the young mech to the door. "What are you doing? Was there anything wrong?" the young bot asked. "No nothing was wrong!" Ratchet said as the med-bay door opened.
Optimus Prime stood there. He stepped aside as Ratchet pushed Bumblebee out. Sari ran out of the med-bay and stood next to Bumblebee who had fallen on the ground.
"Prime get in here…NOW!" Ratchet said as he motioned for Prime to come into the med-bay.
Optimus just looked at Bumblebee and Sari but turned his attention to Ratchet as the medic told him to come into the med-bay. Optimus stepped into the med-bay and the old medic quickly shut the door and locked it.
Ratchet grabbed Prime's arm and dragged him over to the monitor where Bumblebee's system data was still recorded onto. "What is it Ratchet?" Optimus asked confused as he looked at the screen.
"It's…something with the kid. Everything seemed fine but then I stumbled upon this. The previous times I've given him system checks I've…I've never seen this!" the medic said as he stared at the monitor.
"Seen what?" Optimus asked. "Femme wires and programmings. I ran a full systems check on him. Everything seemed okay at first but then I started to see wires that are only in femme's. Some of his programs are even supposed to only be downloaded into femmes!"
Optimus's optics went wide. "What? But he's a mech! How could he have femme wires and downloads in his system?" Ratchet shrugged "I'm not sure. I want to know as much as you do but I don't want to worry the kid. I'm just hoping what I'm thinking is true."
Optimus just stood there in shock. After a moment of awkward silence between the two then Autobot leader shook his head and looked at Ratchet "I don't want to add to the worry but the Elite Guard is coming soon."
"What?" Ratchet asked raising an optic ridge as he turned to Optimus. "They were just here seven Earth weeks ago! Why are they coming back?"
The young leader shrugged "They said it was important though. You don't think…" "No!" Ratchet interrupted him. "They can't know about this. We just discovered it! How could they possibly know?"
The young leader and old medic just stared at each other. Optimus was about to speak was Bumblebee and Sari rushed in. "Dudes!" they both shouted.
The two older bots looked at the two excited children. "We just saw a news report!" Sari said happily. "The Elite Guard is here!" Bumblebee finished.
Optimus and Ratchet turned there attention back to each other. "What were you two talking about anyway?" Bumblebee asked. The two quickly looked at the youngling. It was kind of awkward knowing he had femme parts. It was hard to explain why though.
"Nothing." Ratchet said as he turned off the monitor before Bumblebee could see. He got out of his metal chair and walked over to the door "Let's go."
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
The five Autobots stood in front of the white and blue Autobot Elite Guard ship. Some of the humans were surrounding the ship. Only the law enforcers though. They had the ship surrounded like the last time.
Sari was seated upon Bumblebee's shoulder. The door to the ship soon opened and out stepped three Elite Guard officials. Ultra Magnus, Sentinel Prime and Jazz. The five lower rank bots saluted the three superiors.
"Ultra Magnus sir, we weren't expecting you to come back so soon." Optimus Prime spoke. Ultra Magnus looked at the young leader. "Neither did we but…we're here to pick up one of your troops."
Optimus optics widened. Why did he have the feeling he knew which one of his comrades they wanted? "Um…sir, may I ask the reason why?"
Ultra Magnus took his attention away from Optimus and looked at the organics surrounding the ship. "This is only a personal matter for your crew. No organics need to know right now. Come into the ship." The Elite Guard Commander said turning to re-enter the ship.
"Sir, what about the organic on the small bots shoulder?" Sentinel Prime asked as he pointed to Sari. Ultra Magnus turned slightly and looked at the human. "She may come too."
"What?" Sentinel asked, shocked by his superiors response. "I said she may come." Ultra Magnus said then re-entered the ship. Jazz and Sentinel Prime followed after their leader.
Optimus and his crew looked at each other. Both Bumblebee and Bulkhead looked worried. Both thinking one of them was going to be taken away. Prowl just stood there in shock. What if it was him they were taking?
Ratchet and Optimus looked at each other concerned. They knew who would be taken and possibly knew the reason why. But one question ran through both bots processors 'How did they find out?'
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
The five low ranked Autobots walked into the command room of the ship. The three higher ranked Autobots turned to them.
Ultra Magnus waited a moment before finally talking. "We will be taking one of your comrades back to Cybertron with us. But, we will bring her back."
Optimus Prime sighed in relief. Then Ultra Magnus's last sentence ran through his processor. "Her?" Prime asked. "Ultra Magnus sir, no femme's are part of this team. I mean Sari is a 'she' but why would you-"
"It's not the organic Optimus. It's the one the organic is sitting on." Sentinel Prime informed him. All five Autobots optics went wide. Sari turned to look at Bumblebee's petrified face.
Ratchet and Optimus just stood there in shock. They knew? But how? They had just found out themselves! How could the Elite Guard know already?
"This…this has to be some mistake. Bumblebee-" "Is a femme." Ultra Magnus interrupted the Prime.
"But…but…" Bumblebee stuttered. "How could I be a femme?" he shouted. "I've been a mech my whole life! I don't even remember being a femme!"
Ultra Magnus's attention turned the Bumblebee. "Your creator was a soldier. While taking care of you one day in her assigned sector some Decepticons attacked. Both you and she were caught in the fire. Your body was badly damaged. The medics managed to keep your spark from being extinguished but they rebuilt your body into a sparkling mechs body. But you still had some femme wires and programs in your system."
"That explains what I saw on the monitor!" Ratchet blurted out. Bumblebee looked at the medic. "You knew?" the young bot said angrily.
"Your remaining femme parts couldn't be identified until now. A few mega cycles after your fifteenth thousand stellar cycle of being online." Ultra Magnus continued.
"S-so….why do I need to go back to Cybertron?" Bumblebee asked worried. Before Ultra Magnus could continue, Sentinel interrupted. "You're scheduled for a system change. Which means you're going back to being a femme like you were intended to be."
Bumblebee's optics widened "NO!" he yelled. "Wait!" Ratchet said as he stepped in front of Bumblebee. "Do you have permission to change him back? Where's his creator? The medic that fixed him?"
"Both dead." Ultra Magnus said narrowing his optics. "I know this is hard for…probably all of you but…if we don't change her back she'll go insane and destroy herself."
"I am not a 'her'! I am a 'he'!" Bumblebee yelled. "I am not going to let you change me into a femme! I'm-"
"Bumblebee…you need to go with them." Optimus Prime said looking at the ground. "What?" Bumblebee said as he turned his attention to Optimus "Boss-bot you…you can't be serious. I'm…I'm not a femme I-"
"Bumblebee I say your system data on the monitor Ratchet showed me. I wish it wasn't true but…you really were created as a femme." Optimus said as he looked at the young bot with sad optics.
"No…" Bumblebee said. He felt as if fluid was going to leak from his optics. "Alright, now take your organic pet and get off the ship we'll return the femme gone mech in a few mega cycles." Sentinel said grinning.
"No!" Bumblebee panicked. Ratchet frowned. He grabbed Sari and removed her from Bumblebee's shoulder. "No! You can't let them take him!" Sari argued.
"It's for the best kid…"Ratchet said as he took one last look at Bumblebee "Be good while your up there." He said before exiting the room. Prowl and Bulkhead stared at the young mech. Bumblebee turned to them. He grabbed Prowl's arm "You don't believe I'm a femme!"
Prowl just stared at the young mech "I don't know what to believe." He said before getting Bumblebee to let go. He then left the room. Bumblebee looked at Bulkhead but the larger bot quickly headed for the door. He wanted to be there for his friend but looking at the younger bot now…it just felt awkward.
"Boss-bot! You can't let them take me! I'm not a femme!" Bumblebee yelled. Optimus just stared at the young bot. He placed a hand on Bumblebee's shoulder. This gave the young bot a sense of hope…but the hope was then smashed to pieces by Optimus's words. "We'll be waiting. We won't treat you any differently."
"No…" the young bot repeated as Optimus left the room. Bumblebee tried to bolt for the door and catch up to his leader but Sentinel stepped in front of him "I don't think so…femme."
"NO!" Bumblebee yelled again. Once Ultra Magnus knew the low ranking Autobots and the human girl were off the ship he started up the ship and the ship started to rise up off the ground.
Outside the ship the Autobots could hear the faint sound of Bumblebee's protest. Yelling over and over he wasn't a femme.
Ratchet looked and Optimus as the leader stared at the ship now taking off. "It was…the right thing to do. We couldn't live with ourselves if we knew he would have been able to live if he would have just got a system change."
Optimus turned to the old medic. The medic had the struggling Sari in his arms, who desperately wanted to go back in the ship and 'save' Bumblebee. "I know but…will he forgive us when he comes back?
