Author's Note: Woo! Sequel. :D I got such positive response and so much traffic on Bonds that I decided it needed more, that and some pressuring from close friends whom I love. I'm going to try and include more autobots and maybe even give Leo some lines in this one so please, bear with me. This is for my best friend, Neko, who's turned 18 today. C: Happy birthday, dearie.
DISCLAIMER: Any of the Transformers, Sam Witwicky, and other minor characters from the movie-verse are not mine. Just this story is.

---------------------

Sam thought that his trip to Hawaii with Lennox, his family, and the autobots would be fun and relaxing. Fate seemed to always prove him wrong. He knew he was being extremely careless with Optimus; he had been warned about acting differently around the rest of the gang oblivious to the truth. Since they'd gotten on the plane, the autobots seemed inquisitive about Sam and Optimus' newly mended relationship. Every time Sam began to slip up, he'd get a quick nudge by Optimus' elbow and a clearing of his throat. It upset Sam that he had to act a certain way with the Autobot leader in public, but he knew that it was better for Prime's image. At first, Sam Witwicky wasn't even aware of the fact that he and Optimus had been discovered. It had all happened so fast.

He recalled Optimus' soft breath burning on his neck as his heartbeat pounded loudly in his ears. Gentle hands caressed Sam's body as he tried to organize the mess inside his head into intelligible thoughts. It was the second time he and Optimus had ever done anything like it and it was just as mind-blowing as the time back at his dormitory. Sam felt the warmth radiating from Optimus Prime's Spark through his chest as their bodies connected time and time again. Despite how much he wanted to be with Optimus, he was wary of them being found out. He was sure that everyone was in the living room of the condominium playing Rock Band and that he'd locked the bedroom door as they went in. He apparently didn't. Light leaked through the doorway, outlining their figures on the bed, as it swung open.

"Hey, Optimus, I was just wondering if you wanted to play Rock Band with u---OH MY GOD!" The door slammed shut as fast as it had opened. "SORRY, I didn't know you were busy!" It was Skids' voice. The noise had certainly frightened Sam off of Optimus. The culprits hastily reached for some type of clothing while they heard footsteps recede from the door. Skids had found them out completely by accident.

Skids was standing outside the room, his dark face twisted with shock. Mudflap was waiting down the hall for his twin to emerge with Optimus but approached when he saw that he was alone, "What's the big idea? I thought you were gonn' get Optimus, yo."

"Naw, dude! He's playing a two-player game in there! I don't think you want to play." Skids said, rubbing his eyes as if it would get rid of what he just saw forever. His identical twin looked at him inquisitively with piercing blue eyes.

"What are you talking about?"

"You gotta keep it on the downlow, Mudflap!" Skids turned his voice into a whisper, but the two in the bedroom could still hear him through the door. Sam was preoccupied with helping Optimus find his pants that he had somehow misplaced in the darkness of the room. "I was gonna ask Optimus if he wanted to play, but when I opened the door, I saw him gettin' it on!"

"You're shittin' me! With who?" His voice was loud and clear.

"I'm thinking it was Sam...but don't tell anyone!" Skids reiterated. Sam knew where this was going to go. His cover was already blown.

"Oh, okay...I got you..." Mudflap said, his voice getting more distant as he traveled down the hall. When he was a presumably safe distance from his twin, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "IRONHIDE! RATCHET! YOU GOTTA HEAR THIS!"

Footsteps that Sam assumed belonged to Mudflap pounded towards the living room. He began to panic as he smoothed down his hair and wiped the sweat off of his face with a washcloth. They both heard Skids spout curses as he pursued his brother in the hallway, "I said 'keep quiet', dumbass! Get back here!"

"Guys!" Mudflap ignored the scolds shouted by his twin behind him. "You'll never guess what Skids just saw!"

Sam and Optimus, fully dressed and presentable, burst from the bedroom in pursuit. But it was too late. As they got to the living room, Mudflap was already finishing the single sentence that exposed them.

"Sam and Optimus were getting jiggy with it!" He declared. All the eyes in the room fell on the two of them; it was worse than the time he'd been embarrassed at Princeton. Much worse. There was an awkward silence as Ironhide, Ratchet, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Skids, Mudflap, Will, and his family waited for a response to Mudflap's discovery.

Ironhide looked like he was going to be sick. Bumblebee seemed so betrayed that he couldn't even bear to look Sam in the eye. Sideswipe wore a grin of disbelief on his face. Ratchet appeared indifferent to the whole thing.

"Well?" Optimus' weapons specialist asked. "What do you have to say about this?"

Lennox's wife took Annabell out of the room, muttering something about 'needing to change her diaper'. Sam was going to explain; he was going to tell them the truth and nothing but the truth before Optimus broke him off.

"Neither of us will deny what the twins have said. I'm sorry for not telling you all before but we believed that it was a personal decision that didn't involve your opinions," Optimus said, finalizing the damage. Sam felt like committing suicide. Tension lingered in the air as Ironhide exhaled angrily and crossed his arms over his chest. Sam looked at Optimus and they shared the same thought--Ironhide did not like the idea whatsoever. He never said anything about 'Hide being against the whole 'human in love with a transformer' deal.

"Interesting..." Ratchet murmured.

Bumblebee stood up, his eyes welling up with tears as he gave Sam a hurt glance. He was silent as he turned away and left the living room. Sam felt horrible--he didn't know that Bee would react that way. He wished that it could've happened any other way; there was no avoiding it now. He had been found out. And the autobots weren't exactly ecstatic about it. Somehow this wasn't the way Sam imagined his vacation would go.
