"How about...as plants need the sun and humans need air...so do I need you to survive." As soon as Sam finished that sentence Bumblebee burst out laughing. For the past half an hour Bumblebee listened to how Sam was trying to find the perfect way to propose to Mikeala. It went from cute to downright awful.

"It sounds as if you took it out of a 50's B-rated movie." Bumblebee knew that Sam felt offended.

"Well excuse me for trying. If you're such an expert... what would you say to her?"

"Sam, I love Mikeala...but not in the same way you do. Just tell how you really feel. I am sure she would appreciate a true speech more than an arranged one."

"Ha! It is easy for you to say. You don't stutter and trip..."

"And blush like a 10 year old boy and sweat really bad every time you see her and..."

"Thank you Bee I really didn't want to now that." Sam didn't have to be a super advanced alien to know that Bumblebee felt a bit smug. He heard Bee mumbled "Truth hurts."

"I heard th..." But Sam never finished that sentence because all of a sudden Bee braked so quickly that Sam was thrown forward.

"Bee...what the hell was that for?!?"

"Sam get out off the car and head for cover."

"Why Bee...what's wrong?"

"I sense a Decepticon...it's Barricade."

Bumblebee watched as Sam ran to nearby rocks. As soon as he thought Sam was safe enough he put his battle mask on, loaded his cannons and waited. He didn't have to wait long...a few minutes later a police car could be seen on the horizon.

Sam watched with horror as Barricade transformed, dodged Bumblebee's cannons and tackled Bumblebee. It truly was a robot death match. The fight was so intense and the gunshots so many, that it was impossible for Sam to say who was winning. He was thinking about all the possible things that could happen to Bee when all of a sudden the pile of rocks he was taking cover by, was blown to million pieces. He screamed in the best five year old voice that he knew.

Bumblebee hearing Sam scream shifted his attention from Barricade to Sam. That split second that Bumblebee was not paying attention was all Barricade needed. He hit Bumblebee square in the face. And when the little 'bot staggered backwards, Barricade grabbed him by the arms and repeatedly slammed him in the street. When Barricade sensed that Bumblebee was no longer resisting he picked him up and threw him into the dirt. He then started looking for Autobots human charge.

From where Sam was hiding he watched and waited for Bumblebee to stand up and continue his fight, but the little Autobot didn't. He just lay there in a heap of metal. Sam was so focused on Bumblebee that he completely forgot about Barricade...until it was too late.

"Hello boy...want to go for a ride?" The next thing Sam knew was being consumed by blackness.
