A Valentine's Wish

It was a day before Valentines Day and Sari was in her room making cards for her Autobot friends. Bumblebee comes in to her room and sees what she's doing,

"What are those for?" he asked.

Sari looked up "These are Valentine cards," she explained.

" Valen-what?" Bumblebee said confused.

"You mean you never heard of Valentines Day?" Sari replied.

"No," Bumblebee answered.

"Its only the most romantic day of the year," Sari explained, "there's hugs, kisses, and most importantly love."

Bumblebee stood there confused and wondering.

"Soooo, what are you going to get me?" Sari asked.

Bumblebee was shocked, he didn't know he was supposed to get Sari something, "Um, it's a… surprise," he said standing in a dumbstruck position.

"OK," she said and walked out to the other Autobots.

Bumblebee rushes to his room to look for a gift. But all he could find was motor oil.

"Scrap," he cursed," what can I give her on…that day?"

He kept looking but found nothing. Then in a second, she came in, "What are you doing?" asked the little human girl.

"Nothing," replied the nervous Autobot.

"Sari," he said softly, "What do guys give girls for Walen-time's Day?"

"Its Valentine's Day, and guys give girls flowers, chocolates, and (giggle) KISSES."

"Oh,"

Bumblebee stood frozen at the thought that he didn't have any of those things.

"Hey, you want to go for a drive?" Sari asked Bumblebee.

"yeah, sure."

So they went, they drove around Detroit. At sunset, they decided to go to the park. Around 6 O'clock, just when they were going to leave, Sari looked up and saw a shooting star.

"Look Bumblebee, a shooting star, make a wish, quick!"

Bumblebee looked up at the bright object, closed his optics, and made a wish. "I wish I knew what to get Sari for Valentines Day and to spend the whole day with her."

Little did Bumblebee know that Sari was wishing too. "I wish I found a way to tell Bumblebee how I feel about him." the little girl said in her mind and looked up at Bumblebee.

They drove home and went to bed. Sari had no trouble sleeping, Bumblebee on the other hand kept rolling around and twisting. Around midnight he found a comfortable position and slept for the remaining night.

Morning came and so did Valentines Day and Sari was up and early grabbing all her cards she made and ran out to give them to her friends.

"Where's Bumblebee?" she said after giving her cards out, but she still had Bumblebee's.

"I think he's still recharging," Bulkhead said ," you know he was up half the night making a lot of noise."

"Its OK, I'll wake him up." said Sari and ran into Bumblebee's room. She looked around and saw nothing until she spotted something small, yellow, and black on Bumblebee's autobot sized concrete bed. She hesitated for a while and took baby steps toward the bed and when she got close enough she saw Bumblebee, about the size of a eight year old boy, lying in the middle of the bed.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" She screamed so loud that it woke up Bumblebee.

"What's the matter Sari?" Bumblebee asked frightened. He ran to comfort Sari, but when he got to her he realized that her face was the same level with his face. He was staring into her eyes as she stared into his. He looked at himself and noticed nothing was wrong with him, until…

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" He yelled "what's going on?! I'm…I'm…small"

His scream was so loud that the other Autobots rushed in and saw him.

"What happened?" asked Prime

"Doc-Bot, what happened to me? I'm as small as Sari." shouted the frightened bot.

"Hey, I'm not that small…Tiny," said Sari with a smirk on her face.

"Don't call me Tiny," Bumblebee said annoyed.

"Hehehe…he looks like a metallic human." said Bulkhead.

"Shut-up Bulkhead, its not funny."

"What ever it is I'm sure its normal, right Ratchet?" ask Prime.

"I…I…I never seen anything like this. Robots don't shrink."

"Maybe it's a good thing," Sari said, "now you can get me a gift that you forgot to get me." she said with a serious look on her face.

"How did you know I didn't get you anything?" asked Bumblebee.

"Duh, you didn't even know about Valentine's Day until yesterday."

"Well, until we can find out what's going on with you Bumblebee, you have to deal with it," Prime told the more smaller bot.

"WHAT!!…but…but…" mumbled Bumblebee.

"Come on Bumblebee, lets go gift shopping for me," said Sari excited that Bumblebee can walk inside stores now and doesn't have to wait in the parking lot. "And after that, we can go to the park for a walk and then to the carnival."

"But…Sari, I'm small. I should stay here." replied Bumblebee.

"Actually, a day away from your video games could be good for you." Prowl said.

"Put a sock in it Nature Boy."

"Yeah kid, keep yourself busy while I find a way to fix your…um…problem." announced Ratchet.

"But…but…fine." said Bumblebee as he gave in. "maybe it wont be bad."

So they went out and went shopping at different stores. While Sari was looking through gifts, Bumblebee looked for the perfect gift for Sari and saw flowers and bought a big bundle of them. Sari was looking for something for Bumblebee too. But when Sari was looking, Bumblebee tapped her shoulder. She turned around and saw him offering flowers.

"Bumblebee, how sweet." Sari said.

"There roses, at least that's what the lady said." he replied.

It was almost noon and Sari was getting hungry. " Lets eat." she said. They went Burger Bot and then to a auto shop to get oil for Bumblebee. After they were done "refueling," they went to see a movie. It was an action movie that had a hero and a "damsel in distress." At the end Bumblebee noticed the hero catch the "damsel" as she fell and hold her close. Sari knew what was coming next, but Bumblebee was shocked to see the two's lips touch.

"Why was he trying to bite her?" he said outside the theatre when it was over.

"He wasn't trying to bite her, he was kissing her." she answered back.

"Ohhhh…that's what kissing is."

"yup," she said.

Then they went to the carnival next. They rode all the rides, even the kiddy rides. Bumblebee forgot about his problem and was just having fun. Sari was glad that he found a good thing with his size. The last ride they rode was the roller coaster. When they got to the top, Sari was grasping Bumblebee's hand so hard that both of them realized and looked in each other's eyes. They went down fast and Sari was still holding on to Bumblebee, he didn't mind, he held her too.

"That's what I call fun." said Bumblebee.

Sari just smiled at him and remembered holding his hand. It was nearly sunset when Sari remembered something.

"Bumblebee!" she shouted, "what about the walk through the park?"

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Lets go." he cheerfully said. "I know what to give Sari for Valentine's Day." he said in his thoughts.

They arrived at the park but just sat on the highest hill and watched the sunset because they were still shaken up from the coaster. As they sat, Bumblebee saw a stand selling chains.

"I'll be right back." he told Sari. About a minute later, he came back with two chains.

"Here," he said, "I got this for you." He placed a necklace with a heart on it with the letters BB around her neck.

"Its beautiful," she said, "where's yours?" she asked him.

"Right here," he showed her a similar necklace, but his had the letters SS.

" What's SS for?" Sari asked Bumblebee.

"Sari Sumdac." he replied.

They sat back down on the hill and the sun set into the blue. Sari scoot closer to Bumblebee and put her head on his shoulder. Bumblebee, who turned pink, slowly put his arm around Sari and held her close. Now both of them turned red.

An hour later when it got dark, they got up and started walking out of the park. Sari tripped on a tree root that was sticking out of the ground. Bumblebee caught her before she hit the ground. Sari, now closer to Bumblebee than ever, was looking up at the Autobot while leaning on him. Just then, Bumblebee remembered the movie ending where they kissed, so did Sari. He hesitated for a while then slowly moved his face toward hers. Sari did the same thing.

"Am I doing this right?" he asked her.

"Lets find out." she said.

Then their lips met and stayed connected for the longest time. Sari raised one leg and Bumblebee put his arms around Sari. They kept their lips together until Sari needed to breathe.

"Nothing like the first kiss." Sari said.

"You said it." Bumblebee said afterwards.

"Bumblebee," she started, "I want to tell you something. Ever since the day we met, I…started to…like…you." she continued, "and today was the best day in my life, and…I guess what I'm trying to say is…I…love you."

Bumblebee just stood there.

"Bumblebee?" she said feeling scared of what he might say.

He just walk up to her, put his arms around her, pulled her close, and gave her another kiss.

"I love you too, Sari." he said when the kiss was over.

They walked back to the factory holding hands all the way. When they got home, there was no lights on.

"Maybe their asleep." said Sari.

They went inside and found all the Autobots looking at them.

"Hey guys…whatcha doing sitting in the dark?" Bumblebee asked.

"Prowl wanted to see if he can see the shooting stars tonight," Ratchet answered, "he wants all the wishes for himself," he continued.

"The wish!" said Sari and Bumblebee at the same time. They looked at each other and just smiled.

"I'm glad my wish came true," said Sari.

"Mine too," said Bumblebee, "even though I was shrunk, I'm still happy. And I got to spend a whole day with Sari."

Still holding her hand he kissed her before she went to bed.

"I will love you no matter what," he told her in her ear.

She walked to her room and before you knew it, she was on cloud nine.

Bumblebee went to sleep on his bed and was on cloud nine as well.

During the night sari went into Bumblebee's room and kissed him on the cheek.

"I will love you forever," she whispered in his ear and went back to her room.

The next morning, she went back into his room and found that he was still the same size. He woke up and hugged Sari.

And both of them said…

"I will love you no matter what happens."
