Alright here we are again. After the success of the first chapter where I so far have three reviews and a bunch of story alerts I have decided to hurry up and put the next chapter out for all you good people.
For the few people who might wounder about this yes Trent will be popping up every now and then but I have decided to stick to the idea that he is a really big Ass who likes to cause trouble for every one, manly Sam.
Also there will be some Holo use from all of the Auto bots, as they keep trying to explore Earth culture.
I hope you enjoy this chapter I had fun writing it.
Pulling Mikaela out of there History class had seemed like a good idea at the time. Sam thought to himself as they walked down the steps of the school and made there way to the gleaming form of Bumblebee sitting in the parking lot. That was until he had gotten a very painful punch to the middle of his back by the slightly annoyed girl he was dragging behind him.
Walking around the small crowd of students who were constantly surrounding Bee's alternate form he was still rubbing the new sensitive patch of skin on his back trying to ease the pain.
"You didn't have to hit me so hard you know. I am in enough pain already." He said over the roof of the car as he made sure to open the door himself so as not to cause suspicion from the crowd.
Mikaela just gave him a smile that he had come to know as her 'I didn't do anything that you didn't deserve' smile. Tossing his bag gently into the back seat he sat down in the drivers seat and was greeted by it forming to his body which helped to ease the pain in his back. Bumblebee took it one step further by making the back half of the seat vibrate so as to help ease Sam's pain even further.
Sam patted the steering wheel fondly and made a silent promise that he was going to repay Bee by giving him a full body wash and wax as soon as he could.
Bee's engine purred happily as he recognized the gesture and the promise it held. Switching on the radio he flew through the airwaves until he landed on a smooth jazz station then turned the volume down so that it was soft in the background so they could talk.
Mikaela sat down in the passenger seat and set her bag next to Sam's in the backseat. They both closed there doors and Sam put his hand lightly on the wheel to give the appearance that he was driving. They slowly drove threw the parking lot following the other slow moving cars that where heading for the exit. Once out and on the main road Bee was able to pick up more speed as they headed off to Mikaela's house.
"So Bee." Mikaela started. "How was your day? I hope that it wasn't to boring."
A chuckle came from the radio followed by Bumblebee's recently repaired voice.
"I had plenty to occupy my time with."
"Yeah I bet keeping an ear on us and scanning for Decepticons probably kept you really busy." Sam said with a big smile on his face.
He knew that wasn't the only things that Bee did with the spare time he had while waiting for Sam to get out of school. Sam had had the brilliant idea to introduce Bee to the wonders of online gaming a week or so after there return from Mission City. Since then Bee and him would terrorize anyone else who was unlucky enough to be logged onto World of War Craft at the same time as them. But for Bee's sake Sam had kept from mentioning this little fact to anyone even the other Auto bots.
Bee revved his engine as a warning to Sam to keep from saying anything about it. Laughing Sam held up his hands in surrender.
"OK OK, I get it don't worry." He said shaking his head.
Mikaela glared at Sam wanting to know what that was about. But decided not to ask. Instead she turned back to look at the radio and asked.
"So who all will be at the meting tonight?"
"The last communication that Optimus sent informed me that everyone would be attending tonight. Ironhide is even going to bring Will so that we can confirm the location for our new base." Bee replied pulling up tp Mikaela's house.
"That's good as much as I like hanging around a bunch of old army hangers it will be good to have someplace more permanent for you guys to stay." Sam said while Mikaela reached back to grab her bag.
"Optimus would agree with you Sam, he has told me on more then one occasion that he is starting to dislike having to spend his recharge cycles in a truck stop parking lot." Bee said, and Sam was sure that if he had been in his robot form he would be smiling.
"I bet, I mean not all of you can have the comfort of Sam's garage or the giant barn that Ironhide stays in." Mikaela said as she opened the door to get out.
"What time will you be by tonight?" She asked getting out of the car.
Sam was about to answer when Bee cut him off.
"Actually Mikaela, Jazz has requested that he be allowed to come get you tonight if that is alright with you."
If she was surprised Mikaela didn't show it. Instead she kind of seemed happier.
"Oh that's great! I just got a new CD that I know he'll like." She chimed before closing the door and heading into her house.
Ever since Ratchet was able to get Jazz back together and online with some assistance from Mikaela, who could get into the smaller places that Ratchet could and reattach the wires, the two of them had become close friends. He had even volunteered to become her guardian after the construction of there new base started.
Pulling away from Mikaela's house Bee started to head off to Sam's house. He knew that Sam would want to rest for a while and maby take a shower before they meet up with the others.
Sitting back into the seat Sam let his eyes close for a moment while Bee drove him home. The down side to this was that it gave him time to focuse on his arm and just how much it hurt. On the surface it felt like thousands of pins and needles where being pushed in and out of his arm. But there was also an underling heated pain that seemed to reach into his very bones. The worst of it was focused on his right hand up to the wrist but it seemed like every other day the pain would move further up his arm. The pins and needles feeling was already up to his shoulder and he was sure that he could feel it moving slowly along his chest.
Opening his eyes he found that they where pulling into his driveway. As the car stopped Bee shut off his engine but didn't open the doors a sure sign to Sam that he wanted to talk. Taking off his seat belt Sam moved his bag from the backseat to the front then waited for Bee to ask what he knew he wanted to. He didn't have to wait long.
"Its spreading isn't it?" He asked his voice filled with sympathy.
Sam let out a sigh and used his left had to rub his right trying to ease the pain. Bee was the first person he told about the pain and how it seemed to be spreading.
"Yeah. It is. Its already up to my shoulder and I am sure that in the next few days it will move along my chest." Sam shuddered not wanting to think about how much it would hurt when the deeper pain would reach his chest.
There was a slight humming sound that cam from the car and Sam knew that Bumblebee was running a scan on him. He sat still until Bee was finished knowing what the result would be.
"My scans still don't show anything out of the ordinary. But my scans aren't as sensitive as Ratchets' are." Bee informed Sam for what felt like the hundredth time.
"I know, Before the meeting tonight I will talk to him and see what he has to say. I wounder if this is how Mikaela's leg feels?" Sam said as the door swung open.
Sam grabbed his bag and got out of Bee letting him close the door. As Sam moved to go into his house he ran his hand along Bee's roof letting his hand slide over the smooth metal and then down along the hood. Bee's window rolled down and a soft song started to come from the radio.
"You're going to be okay, That's what's going to happen, Everything's okay!"
Sam let out a bark of laughter and turned back to Bumblebee who even in his car form managed to look smug.
"Yeah Bee your right. I am sure its nothing everything will be fine." Giving him a last smile he walked off into the house and was greeted by his mother who was in the kitchen.
"Sammy is that you?" She called coming around the corner to give her son a hug.
Sam returned the hug trying to hide the flare of pain that came from his arm as his mother dragged him into the kitchen. She sat him down at the table and put a plate with a sandwich on it in front of him.
"You know mom I do eat at school you don't have shove food at me every time I come home." He said as he took a bite out of the turkey sandwich.
"Oh Sammy you know that I don't like the food that the public schools feed you, and since you wont let me make you a bag lunch I have to make sure that you get a good meal anyway I can." She replied starting on the dishes that were in the sink.
"Well it not that big of a deal for me to wait until dinner." He said back to her as he finished off the last of the sandwich and went to get a glass of orange juice from the refrigerator.
Judy turned to face her son with a look that would send Megatron running in the opposite direction.
"If you would stay at home more often then I would let you wait until dinner but your never here anymore. Particularly on the weekends. You spend all your time running around with toughs things and then running off every other week to stay at that army man's house." She said putting her hands on her hips.
Sitting back down at the table Sam let out his fifteenth sigh of the day.
"I've told you a hundred times before mom they are not things they are people just like you or me... OK maybe not like you or me but they are living beings that have feelings and emotions. And as for Will he is a great guy you should really give them all a chance mom you would like them." Sam said then proceeded to drain his glass before putting it and his plate on the counter by his mother.
"I am sorry Sam but I still don't fully trust giant alien robots or army people. For all I know he could be trying to get you to join the army so that they can send you off to fight in Iraq or something and I won't have my baby boy dieing in the desert just because the government is greedy for oil."
Sam turned to walk out of the kitchen when he remembered something that he had been thinking about for the past few days. He figured that now would be as good a time as any to tell his mother about it he could always count on his dad to calm her down later.
"You know mom that reminds me I got a call from Mr. Keller the other day you know the Secretary of Defense." He started keeping his back turned to his mother so he didn't have to see her scowl at the mention of the military man.
"What did he want?" Her voice was sharp and hid any emotion that she might be feeling.
"Well him and Optimus Prime have been talking and they decided that they want Mikaela and me to be the official/unofficial liaisons for the Auto bots to the government. He even said that we would be getting paid for it." He said as he slowly made his way out of the kitchen.
Judy was left standing in the kitchen with a look of shock on her face as her son walked out. Slowly she reached for the phone and punched in a number.
From the hallway Sam could hear his mom as she started to talk to who Sam assumed was his father over the phone. He wasn't too worried, he had already told his dad about the offer the other day. His dad was more then happy about the job offer. Clamming that it was a great opportunity for Sam and he would be a fool to pass up a promising high paying carrier in the government. Sam had spent the better part of the last few days thinking about it and had finally come to the dissision (with a little help from Bee) that he would take the job. He was planning on telling this to Prime at the meeting tonight then he would call Sec. Def. Keller tomorrow and tell him. Mikaela had already accepted and couldn't wait to find out what she would be doing.
Making his way up the stairs to his room he stopped at the top to scoop up Mojo who was waiting for him. Caring the small dog to his room he threw his bag into a corner and flopped down onto his bed laying Mojo next to him. Mojo laid his head down on the blankets and started to fall asleep quickly. His cast had come off shortly after Sam had come home from Mission City and Mojo was more then happy about it. Sam was too for that matter as it ment that he didn't have to give the dog anymore pain pills which in turn had put a stop to waking up in the middle of the night to find a spot of dog pee on his bed. 'Crack head.'
After a few moments of laying there Sam got up and went over to his window and looked down at the still form of Bee sitting in his normal spot in the driveway. He was amazed at how no matter what the Camero always seemed to shine even when in the dark. When Bee was in the sun it was even more breath taking. There were time when Sam found himself just staring at Bee's alternate form for hours. Not that he didn't like Bee in his normal form it was just that he didn't get to see as much of his other form as he would like. Unless the two of them went out to the look out.
In the middle of Sam's thinking he didn't notice the movement of Bumblebee's rear view mirror that turned all the way around and twisted up so that it could catch the light of the setting sun and reflect it up straight into Sam's eyes.
A wide grin spread across Sam's face at Bee's antics and he held up his hand to block the redirected light.
"Yeah yeah Bee I see you down there." Sam called down to the Auto bot. Bee let out a small beep of his horn before moving the mirror back into its normal position.
Turning away from the window Sam headed into his bathroom deciding that a nice shower would be good before they headed out to the outlook for the meeting.
Alright chapter two is done and I got it out pretty fast. the next one might take a little longer but it once again depends on the respons that I get from this.
The song I used was from Scrubs: My Musical.
Please leave a review on your way out. It doesn't have to be long but something would make me happy.
