4:30 AM
*RING*
*RING*
*RING*
Bumblebee rolled on to his side.
*RING*
He tried covering his audio receptors.
*RING*
"Sari?" No response.
"Sari." still no response.
*RING*
Opening his optics grabbed the spare pillow on his berth. Sitting up right he heralded the pillow. Hitting her square in the face. "SARI!"
"Ouch! What was that for?!"
"Your phone. Noise. Stop it."
*RING*
Reaching over to the night stand, she grabbed the phone. "Hello . . . Oh hey dad . . . Really? . . . Wow I didn't think you'd finish that fast . . . Right now?! . . . Ok bye."
Bee snuggled into the berth even more. he started to drift back in to recharge when some thing hit him.
"Saarrriii!" He wined. "What do you want?"
"Get up."
"No."
"That was my dad."
"So!"
"So. He's finished. We need to get Ratchets thingy so we can work our magic."
"Why now?!"
The death grip he had on the blanket was slowly loosening as she tugged on it. "He said Optimus is coming over in the morning to speak with him and that it would be difficult to explain the project to him. Plus Ratchet is asleep, it will be easier to get the . . . The thingy from him."
"Electromagnetic pulse generator?"
"Shud up whould ya I'm tired too."
"Ugh! Fine Sari!" He slid off the berth. "Let's just get this over already."
Sneaking through the hallways taking extra caution to not wake up any one. The two arrived at the med bay. In side Ratchet was asleep on one of the medical berths. Slowly tip toeing over to him, Bumblebee grabbed ahold of the pulse generator and gave it a tug.
Ratchet grumbled "hmm not very patient I see my dear."
Bee turn to Sari who mouthed 'he's talking in his sleep'.
"Oh I guess I can take it off." The pulse generator in clipped, falling in to Bees servo but before he could move Ratchet reached out. Picking Bee up by the waist, pulling him in to the berth against his chest. Bumblebees optics where so wide Sari was surprised they didn't pop.
'Sari! What do I do?!'
She shrugged 'cuddle with him for awhile I'll have Bulk take me.'
Bee looked back and forth between them. Sari turned around starting to leave but before she reached the door way there was a clang. Metal on metal. Next thing she knew she was being carried and was moving fast. When her 'ride' slowed down she realize who it was.
"Bee!"
He was panting. Hunched over on the side walk.
"Warning next time please."
"Sorry"
"How'd you even get away?"
"After you started to leave I turn and pushed him As hard as I could. He fell on the floor, I ran, here we are now." Transforming he opened the door "Come on we got magic to work."
6:00 AM
By the time they got to Sumdac towers the sun had just started to rise.
Getting in the elevator they headed for the top floor. Suddenly the power went out. "What's going on?"
"Just cause my dad owns the place doesn't mean I know every thing that happens Bee."
Moments later it was back on continuing their journey.
When the elevator door opened Sari dashed to the lab. Bumblebee following behind sluggishly. But before she could open the door it opened from the other side.
"Ah Sari great timing, come in you two." He stepped aside to let them in.
As they walked in Bee had to ask "Hey Processor why did the power go out?"
"Oh that, I blew a fuse but it has been replaced now."
Inside was a large . . . something hidden with a large hanging tarp. Sari had a good idea what was hidden. "Can we take the tarp down now?"
Mr. Sumdac was standing by a table covered in tools. Slowly one by one he was wiping them off and putting them away. "No."
"Why?" Maybe he wasn't fully finish. Sari thought. The whole time Bee was leaning up against the wall half asleep.
"I'm getting ready to leave for a break. There will be no tampering with it until I'm back."
That got Bee up. "What?!" He and Sari yelled.
The lab got really quite for a minute until the only sound that could be heard was chuckling. "Relax I was just kidding you two." He stopped clean the tool he was working on and turned around to them. "I took my break while I waited for you to get here." He walked over to a control panel. After pressing a few buttons the cords holding the tarp up fell. There where the tarp was once hiding was a large metal dinosaur.
"Professor Sumdac?"
"Yes Bumblebee."
"Why did you make another one of the things Grimlock is?"
"BEE! Have you not been listening to me?!" She glared daggers a the yellow compact. "I wanted something Grimlock could relate to, feel comfortable with, someone he's confident won't leave him. What better then a Dinobot. They stick together and they all live together on the same island for Pete's sake."
" . . . Oh ya I remember."
Silence
"Shall we begin?" Mr. Sumdac broke the silence. Bee nodded, taking the Electromagnetic pulse generator out of his subspace, he clipped it on. Transforming his other servo to his stinger. "Now all you have to do is hit it with the rays at the same time." The professor turn to Sari. "And you must do as you did before with your key.
"Ok." Truth is she couldn't wait. To meet the new bot. To see Grimlocks face when he sees the new bot. 'He's going to be so shocked!' Running over to Bumblebee he picked her up placing her on his shoulder. She took out her key inserting it in to the slot that popped open. "Ready when you are Bee."
"Ok you two ready on three." The professor put some distance between himself and the T-Rex. "One . . . Two . . . Three!"
Sari turned her key. Bee blasted it with both rays.
Minute later nothing had happened. "Dddaaaddd!"
"Sari I know. I told you their was a chance this wouldn't work."
"NO YOU DIDNT!"
Bumblebee stood in front of the T-Rex. "Hey um professor."
Mr. Sumdac and Sari stood facing each other arguing. "Sari guess what." She looked away scowling. "There's a chance this wouldn't work."
"REALLY?! I HADNT NOTICED."
Bee stomped his foot. Shaking the ground. It was enough to get them to stop. "Professor was its eyes always lot up?"
" . . . No, there no power source for them to get the energy to light up."
Sari went to open her mouth but was shushed by Bee. "Uh . . . You two hear that?" The noise was a slight shaking sound. It was so quite it was barley noticeable.
The plating on the T-Rex started to shift and move. Bumblebee grabbed Sari and her father, retreating further away from it setting them back down. When every thing stopped moving they could see a tall femme but be for any thing could happen she blacked out. Bee had tried to catch her but he didn't make it there in time. She landed on her back facing the ceiling.
Mr. Sumdac went back to cleaning his tools. Bee and Sari stood at the femmes feet not knowing what to do.
Slam! Ratchet, Optimus, Prowl and Bulkhead burst into the lab. Ratchet stormed up to Bumblebee. "HEY KID! Where's . . . My . . ." He word came to a halt see the femme on the floor.
She had started to come too. Sitting up holding her head in one hand and the other on her crest. "Ouch me hurt."
"No." The femme turned to Sari.
"Why no?"
"It's 'ouch I'm in pain' ok?"
"Ok." Sari stared at her. "Um . . . ouch I'm in pain." Everyone else stood in shock, watching the two talk.
"Good. Well not that your hurt but that you said it right." she smiled at the femme who returned the gesture back. "Hey Ratchet want to get over here and do your job?"
"Ya. Sure kid." Ratchet walked over and started to examine her.
Before Sari could ask if she would be ok Optimus picked her up, grabbed Bumblebee by the arm taking them out in to the hallway. "You two have some explaining to do. Now."
