Thanks to everyone that reads and reviews.

Chapter 3

Ironhide watched as Bumblebee managed not to drop any of the boxes that he had picked up and headed out of the room. The red mech was confused. Normally Bumblebee would be tripping over his own two feet but for some reason he didn't even stumbled during the numerous trips that he made to the ship.

Every time Bumblebee would pick up a care package Ironhide saw a hint of sadness in the yellow mech's face. What got Ironhide confused was that he was concerned for a mech that he tormented in Boot Camp and sent his friend to the stockades.

"That the last of them?" Bulkhead asked as he picked up what appeared to be the last of the boxes.

"Yeah I think that's the last of them." Ironhide said as he gave Bulkhead his boxes. He needed to talk to Bumblebee and he had come up with a plan just for that. He just hope that it worked.

Bumblebee came into the room thinking that there were more boxes but turned to leave when he found that there wasn't anymore boxes that needed to be brought in. All of a sudden the doors close leaving him trapped in the storage room with Ironhide.

"Ironhide, little buddy are you two ok?" Bulkhead yelled. His voice barely being heard though the doors.

"I'm fine Bulkhead. So is Ironhide." Bumblebee replied to his best friend.

"What happened?" Bulkhead asked.

"We've been having problems with the doors since being attacked by team Charr. It's nothing to worry about. All you we need to do is sit tight and wait for the doors to open. Which could take any where from an hour to a day." Ironhide yelled loudly so that he could be heard. "Go and tell our commanders what's going on. That way they know where we are at.

"Ok. I'm going to be taking off. Little buddy be careful and stay safe." The massive green Autobot told his best friend.

Footsteps could be heard leaving the area signally that the only ones in the ship were Ironhide and Bumblebee.

"Well we're in for a long wait. Might as well make ourselves comfortable." Ironhide said trying to be nice. He needed to be nice in order to get what he wanted to know. Bumblebee had no reason to think that he wouldn't want to kill him after what happened in Boot Camp.

Ironhide turned around to see Bumblebee sitting over in a corner looking at a data pad that appeared our of no where. Ironhide knew that Bumblebee was trying to say out of his way so that he would not get beat up.

Ironhide knew that it was not going to be easy getting Bumblebee to come near him let alone talk to him. He knew that he would have to try everything that he could think of just to get Bumblebee just to be near him.

Meanwhile Prowl managed to hack into the Elite Guard Boot Camp mail delivery reports thinking that if Bumblebee got any mail then he could trace where the mail came from and find a little more about Bumblebee.

Prowl looked at the screen shock was in his optics. He couldn't believe what he had just read. Bumblebee had never received a letter or care package at all during boot camp. Just what kind of life did Bumblebee have that he didn't even get any letters from a family member.

"Bumblebee would always leave the bunk house when mail call came. You didn't see it but deep down he wanted to cry." Bulkhead said coming up behind Prowl.

"He didn't even receive one letter at all?" The Cybernina asked still not believing that the youngest member if the team who was always to happy had no family.

"To make matters worse no one showed up for him when we had Creator's day. I can remember in sitting in the rec room with his head in is knees softly crying to himself." The massive Autobot told Prowl. He could remember waiting excitedly for his creators to come. Everyone in Boot Camp was excited that they could see their creators. Bulkhead remembered Bumblebee not being present when the vehicle carrying their creators had arrived. It was only later when he and his creators saw Bumblebee crying in the rec room did he realize just how alone Bumblebee was. "I'm so psychebot but I think that Bumblebee acts the way he does to hide the pain of being alone based on what I saw in Boot Camp."

"You may just be right Bulkhead you may just be right." Prowl replied still not believing the pain that his yellow teammate been through. Had Bumblebee been sparked on the streets and fought just to eat or was he disowned and forced to live on his own. Prowl was determined to find out.

Back on the Artemis Ironhide had managed to corner Bumblebee by a bunch of boxes. He could tell by the way Bumblebee was shaking that the minibot thought that he was going to beat him up for what happened with Wasp.

"Look Bumblebee I'm not going to beat you up or anything. Rodimus got the message that Wasp was set up by Shockwave and you were played as a fool." The red Elite Guard said to Bumblebee who was shaking like a leaf while holding the data pad close to his chest. Ironhide was confused at Byumblebee's action. What ever Bumblebee had on that data pad he obviously didn't want him to see it.

"You expect me to believe that you don't want to beat me up after what you did to me in Boot Camp and after what I did to Wasp that you really are an idiot." Bumblebee said looking Ironhide straight in the optic. He wasn't going to be bullied by this mech. Not anymore.

"Look Bumblebee I want to know why you put on such a farce with the way you act. I seen the looks on your face during boot camp when we got mail and how much it hurt you." Ironhide said. "I also know that no one came to Creator's day for you. Just what happened to you to warrant no letters at all."

"You wouldn't understand at all." Bumblebee whispered looking down to the ground.

"Try me." Ironhide said. Something told him that he wasn't going to like the reason why Bumblebee was all alone in Boot Camp.

"You want to know that badly? Alright I'll tell ya."

Next chapter Ironhide finds out just what happen to Bumblebee and then some.
