A Hundred Years
By Steph
I'm fifteen for a moment
Caught in between ten and twenty
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are.
When Sam was fifteen that was when he had first looked up at the night sky wondering, was there life out there? His questions were anwered a mere two years later when he met Bumblebee and the other autobots, the strange, wonderful aliens who soon became familiar and as much of a part of earth to Sam as himself.
I'm twenty two for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
The age when Sam and Michaela had joyously gone on an adventure with Bumblebee, to the red planet Mars, the two were young and in love, eager to see the wonders of the vast Universe, and Bee was more than overjoyed to show them.
Fifteen there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
Fifteen, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got hundred years to live
Bumblebee always knew humans had painfully short life spans, their existence barely measuring the blink of an optic for a being capable of outliving them a thousand times over. For now, his charges were young, healthy and full of life, the yellow scout tried not to dwell that, it would not always be the case and as much as he wanted them to be, Sam and Michaela would not be with him forever.
I'm thirty three for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm of age
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
Everyone had been overjoyed when Sam announced he and Michaela were expecting their first child, but no-one was as happy or as proud that moment then Bumblebee.
I'm forty five for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
Bumblebee remembered the day well, at forty five years; Sam had found his first grey hair. He had merely shrugged it off, laughing he was getting old. Bumblebee from that moment realized just how quickly time was moving, and it suddenly became even more precious.
Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Sam was fifty, at his half way point, the boy Bumblebee had met was now a man of wisdom, strength and unity in his family.
Another blink of an eye
Sixty seven is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on
Bee swore he had merely blinked his optics and Sam and Michaela's hair was suddenly grey with age. The two of them celebrating their forty fourth wedding anniversary along with their three grandchildren, Bumblebee was with the family as ever, never growing, never changing.
I'm ninety nine for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
Two days before his one hundredth birthday, Sam had passed away in his sleep with Michaela and Bee by his side, surrounded by the entire family. Bumblebee's spark broke that day and he knew, the moment Sam had drew his last breath it would stay that way. Sam's last words were those of gratitude to the people he had shared his life, and when the moment finally came Sam had died with a sparkle in his eyes and a smile upon his lips. Anyone who didn't look closely would say the man was simply dreaming peacefully.
Fifteen there's still time for you
Twenty two I feel her too
Thirty three you're on your way
Every day's a new day
Fifteen there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey fifteen, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got hundred years to live.
Before Bumblebee knew it, Michaela too had gone, joining Sam in the darkness of the unknown. For Bumblebee it had been painfully short, for him only a few years had seemingly passed, but they were full of love, life, family and friendship. All that was left of his two dear charge's was a single white tombstone and the memories that would remain with him, until he too joined them in the aftermath of life somewhere beyond the stars.
