G1Bumblebeegirl101: That would be really cute! That won't be in the cards for a while though. Just like Bumblebee wanted to wait until Cybertron was restored to graduate to warrior class, I doubt Anna and Bee would want to have a sparkling while fighting against Decepticons.
Guest #2: I was really glad when I learned there was going to be a third season. I didn't want this to be a short story by any means.
Guest #1: Steeljaw seems to be a crowd favorite, haha.
The Whispering Sage: I plan on it! I love them so much, I can't wait for them to be comfortable with each other again.
Adby1: Haha! I would love to see them fight Unicron together. I'm also so proud my character is part of someone's OTP.
JJ: You're welcome! Anna and Grimlock are going to be best friends before long! I felt bad that the team wasn't even mentioned in the series, that's not going to happen here. Ratchet, Fowler and the others will be common occurrences. Thank you! I think it's awesome too. She's so cool. My opinion on Sideswipe? He's a good guy, why would Anna bring down the hammer on him? She finds his little pranks hilarious.
Gry20: Another Steeljaw fan favorite, haha. I think that will definitely be hilarious. Sorry boys, Anna's been taken since the day she met Bee.
Anna walked through the ground bridge just as she saw Russell walking by with an old helmet on his head. "Where are you headed to?"
Russell sighed as he looked up at her, "To go eat some turf on the football field."
Anna smiled softly. "Ah... I'm not very good at football, but if you want someone to practice with..."
Russell smiled before tilting his head. "How could you?"
Anna activated her holoform, walking up and patting Russell on his shoulder gently. "I kind of tweaked the holoform program. This is how I've kept up my identity the past two years, despite being an Autobot now."
Russell grinned as he looked her over. "That's so awesome." He smiled at her, "Thanks for the offer, I'll tell you how bad I sucked later!" He waved again before jogging off.
Anna let her holoform drop, smiling to herself. "I like him..." She turned and walked closer to their base, spotting the others. Grimlock was taking a nap as his T-Rex self. Strongarm was looking over something on her datapad. Sideswipe was waxing himself with some stuff Anna brought over the day before. That only left Bumblebee, she was sure Fixit was around tinkering with something.
"There you are."
Anna turned around to see Bumblebee smiling brightly at her. "Here I am..." She said softly. "Do you need something?"
Bumblebee shook his helm, his shoulders dropping a little. "No... I just wanted to spend some time with you."
Anna walked a little closer to him, "I wouldn't mind-" She turned as Fixit cried out about a Decepticon reading. "Never mind."
"There's a Decepticon reading not far from here! It's near a golf course?"
"Alright, let's shift and roll!"
Anna stared at him blankly. "Still needs work, babe."
Bumblebee laughed nervously, a blush on his facial plates. "Yeah..." He quickly transformed and headed towards the coordinates.
Strongarm paused beside her, chuckling. "He gets so flustered with you."
Anna grinned at her. "It's so fun to do." She transformed with the other femme, racing after the other two.
{X}
The five of them spotted a red, crab-like, Decepticon that just jumped onto the land. They all raced down the golf course, transforming when they were close enough. Sadly, Grimlock didn't dodge when the 'con shot a water beam at him. That caused Grimlock to crash on top of Sideswipe.
Anna winced as she watched them get up, "Ouch."
The 'con cheered and danced a little. "Whoo-hoo! Four more Autobot take-downs, and I will own the record!"
Anna, Strongarm and Bumblebee all aimed their guns on him. Bumblebee spoke up as leader, "Hate to ruin your day, Bisk, but that one you just threw is actually a Dinobot."
Bisk shrugged, "Fine. I can still beat the record!" He then shot another beam at Bumblebee.
Bumblebee didn't dodge in time and got shot back, crying out. "Aah!"
Strongarm didn't either as Brisk just swung the beam around, "AAH!"
Anna dropped to the ground on her back, shooting at the 'con's feet. "Guys!" Brisk jumped back, crying out in pain.
Sideswipe managed to run up and kick him in the face, sending him spiraling across the ground. "Ha!" He then began attacking him with his sword, Grimlock swiping at him with his tail.
The 'con taunted them both, "Double-defense mode! I am a master at this."
Anna ran over beside Bumblebee, going to ask him what his plan was. However, she heard him talking to himself.
"I helped save the universe from Starscream, Megatron and Dark Energon. I refuse to become the laughing stock of some bug-eyed 'bot's gaming club."
Anna nodded at him, activating her battle mask as well. Hers was the color of her highlights, with a 'scary' set of shark teeth that Miko painted on against her will. She liked the look anyways, and never really used it. "Awaiting orders, sir."
Bumblebee smirked at her before speaking over the com link to everyone. "Sideswipe! Cascade with Strongarm and me! Anna, drop kick! Grimlock, splash down maneuver! Go!"
Bumblebee and Strongarm ran parallel around the 'con, shooting at him. Sideswipe used the distraction to sidekick him in the face, sending the 'con rolling.
The 'con got up, laughing at them. "You think I don't know how to beat this attack? It's just up, up, left, down, claw, claw!"
Anna smirked and opened a ground-bridge underneath him. "Or not."
The 'con yelled out as he fell through, falling through the other one above her. "What the?"
Anna jumped up and kicked down hard, sending him crashing to the ground. "Have a nice fall!" She then quickly moved out of the way, joining Bee.
Grimlock came running up before the 'con had a chance to even move. He jumped up high in the air, spinning, before crashing down on top of the 'con. "Cannonball!" Grimlock stood up, looking down at the dazed 'con, chuckling.
Strongarm placed some Energon cuffs on the 'con, "You are so under arrest."
Bumblebee grinned at the victory. "Score one more for us. Let's get him into a stasis cell."
Anna opened another ground-bridge, this time to base. Grimlock and Anna hoisted the 'con up, carrying him through behind the others.
{X}
Anna sat onto of a box, Bumblebee standing beside her as she listened to Grimlock telling the story of what happened earlier that day to Russell, Denny and Fixit. Bisk was already in his own stasis cell, looking shocked in his frozen state.
"Whoo, and Bisk is tossing us around with his giant claws. I mean, Whoosh! Whoosh!" He then motioned up to the sky. "Then Anna drop kicks him like a ninja!" He then wildly motioned again, "So I finished him with the Dino Demolisher!" He kicked out his arm to demonstrate, "Pow!" He then leaned on the stasis pod, grinning at everyone. "It was epic."
Fixit grinned happily. "Sounds exciting. I think hearing about what all of you do is the most filling, billing, thrilling part of what I do." He vented sadly, "Gosh, I'd love to get out in the field. In a strictly non-confrontational capacity, of course."
Strongarm brought up her rule book, reciting the correct rule. "Rule 669-B: Mini-Cons must remain at their duty stations at all times."
Sideswipe looked down at him, grinning, "Doesn't seem like you were built for the tough stuff anyway."
Fixit looked down at the ground sadly, not saying anything.
Bumblebee quickly tried to make him feel better, "Uh, look, that's not to say you don't play a key role on our team."
Anna frowned softly, "You're very important, Fixit. Without you the team wouldn't be able to run your software, repair the ship, fix these stasis pods, work on your weapons, or anything else!" She smiled a little when Fixit seemed to feel a little better, which was ruined by the next statement.
Grimlock grinned again, "Just not as key as lead tailpipe kicker. Am I right? Am I right?" He held out his hands for high-fives but was only met with silence.
Fixit vented before he began to drive off, "Well, e-excuse me."
Denny then turned to his son, changing the topic, "How'd it go?"
Russell sighed, shrugging his shoulders a little, "They've all been playing together a really long time."
They all heard a bicycle bell ring and a female's voice calling out. "Rusty, where are you?"
Denny looked down at his son, "Rusty?"
Russell's eyes looked like they were going to pop out of his head, "Oh no."
Bumblebee called out to the others, "Camo!"
Sideswipe ran off, transforming after he found a spot. Strongarm transformed and let Grimlock jump on the back, driving him off to hide as well. Bumblebee transformed on the spot, parking himself behind Denny. Denny leaned on Bee while Russell just stood in front of him. Anna sighed and transformed, parking herself beside Bumblebee. She then activated her holoform, leaning against her own vehicle form.
This caused Denny to yelp, "Oh my god! Anna, you scared me!"
Anna grinned at him, "Sorry, Denny. I just thought this would help with blending in. This is what I used to look like." She smiled as she got a private com message from Bee.
Bumblebee: You look even more beautiful than I remembered, Anna.
Anna: And you got some upgrades. You're looking even sexier.
Bumblebee: Oh really?
They didn't have a chance to talk more because the girl was already to them now. As the smoke cleared they could see a little girl on a bike. She called out to her friend again, "Rusty?" She lifted her goggles and looked surprised. "Wow. Griffin Motors' 1955 wind-blazer, nice."
Anna was surprised that the girl commented on Russell's jacket and not herself or Bee. But that also made her like the girl too. "I like your outfit." That earned her a bright smile from the girl, making Anna smile back at her.
Denny tried to correct her but was ignored, "Actually, that's-"
The girl walked her bike up to Russell, "You ran off after one play."
Russell groaned a little, "I ate five pounds of grass!"
She shrugged, "So?" She reached into her bag, pulling out Russell's helmet and handing it back to him. "Practice in the morning, game in the afternoon." She turned and began pedaling away, "See you tomorrow."
Denny leaned down, looking at his son. "So, can I call you Rusty, now?"
Russell looked away, huffing, "No!"
Anna snickered softly before she decided not to tease him. "She seems nice, I'm glad you found someone that can actually help you. I'm a lost cause with most sports." She dropped her holoform and transformed, walking off to let the humans enjoy their dinner. She stopped when she heard someone running up behind her, her spark thrumming more in her chassis. "Bumblebee?"
Bumblebee smiled at her, walking in pace beside her. "You can make a solid holoform? You're amazing, Anna. Really. You're the most amazing person I've ever known, I love you." He then paused when he said that, looking like he wanted to hurt himself. "I'm sorry... I should wait to say that, right?"
Anna was blushing from his compliments but then she just smiled softly at him. "It's okay, Bee." She hugged him gently, resting her helm on his broader shoulders. "I love you too... We're going to have to work on our relationship, but we both love each other. We never stopped and we never will. So, you can say it all you want."
Bumblebee smiled and hugged her tightly. "I love you, Anna."
Anna smiled, trying not to cry again. "I love you too, Bumblebee."
"They're so cute!"
"Shh, they'll her us."
"Shut up!"
"Guys!"
Anna laughed silently as she peered over her shoulder to see Grimlock, Sideswipe and Strongarm trying to 'hide' behind a large shelf. "Thanks guys..."
Bumblebee looked a little irritated but wasn't angry. He just shook his helm, smiling softly. "At least they approve."
Anna smiled and kissed the side of his helm. "True. I'm going to check back in with Fowler. If something happens before I'm back, just 'com me." She then walked through another ground-bridge, waving bye to everyone.
Sideswipe smirked as he walked up to Bumblebee who was still frozen from Anna kissing him. He teasingly poked Bumblebee, seeing if he would fall over. "I think this is the reverse of Sleeping Beauty."
Bumblebee huffed and walked off, "Shut up." He didn't mean it badly but he was just embarrassed as the others laughed behind him.
{X}
Anna sipped at a large cube of Energon, having used a lot of energy that day. She finished writing her report on her own console beside Ratchet's. She used to use it a lot but now she didn't think she would.
"Anna! How come you didn't tell me Bumblebee was back!?"
Anna turned to see Miko marching up to her, looking a little annoyed. "Sorry, I've just been busy since he arrived."
Miko stood on the platform in front of her, leaning on the railing. "It's fine, I've been on assignment on the east coast." She then leaned forward, smirking at her. "Have you and Bee gotten it on yet?"
Anna groaned, shaking her helm. "You didn't just ask me that."
Miko smirked, "I did." She wiggled her eyebrows at her, laughing. "Use the Cybertronian version of protection!"
Anna vented, downing the last of her Energon. "Oh my Primus, Miko. We haven't even kissed again yet. That won't be for a while! Besides, there isn't much privacy there."
Miko rolled her optics, motioning towards the back. "Well you do have your old room here, idiots." She walked away, "I swear. I'll have a serious talk to Bee soon."
Anna chuckled softly, really hoping Miko didn't but also curious about how that would go. "Get some rest, Miko!"
"Get some, Anna!"
Anna's smile dropped and she huffed. "Eventually!" She looked up and saw Ratchet smirking at her. "Not you too, Ratchet!"
Ratchet held up his servos in a peace motion, walking to his console. "I won't say anything." He then looked over at her, his lips pulled up into a little smirk. "Do I need to go over Cybertronian sex education again?"
Anna covered her face. "I swear."
"Anna? There's another Decepticon alert!" Anna jumped as Bumblebee's voice played over her processor. "Here are the coordinates."
Anna looked it up, opening a ground bridge from the base. "Another Decepticon signal, Ratchet. Will you send in my report?"
Ratchet waved her off, moving to her console. "Of course, be careful." He winked at the last part.
Anna groaned before running through the ground bridge, "People..." She saw she was on the side of a small hill, an aircraft hangar in front of her. She felt a pull on her spark to the right. She looked down, zooming in to see the team. She opened another ground bridge and jumped in. She miscalculated however because it was in the air. "Oops!" She cringed waiting to drop on the pavement.
Bumblebee quickly caught her, grinning down at her. "An angel fell from heaven."
Anna blushed heavily. "Oh jeez." She got down, brushing herself off. "Smooth though." She ignored the snickers from the other three.
Bumblebee laughed silently before getting serious again. He motioned to Anna, Strongarm and Sideswipe. "Let's move in for a closer look. Vehicle mode." The four of them then transformed in a row on the road.
Grimlock frowned at them, "What about me?"
Sideswipe called out to him, "You're a little too dinosaur-y for sneaking around, big guy."
Bumblebee called out to him next, "Hang back, secure the perimeter." He then drove off, leading the three behind him.
Grimlock nodded as they left, "Will do!" He then paused, "What's a perimeter?"
{X}
When they entered through the gates, Bumblebee contacted them over the com. "Split up. If you spot the fugitive, comm the rest of the team immediately."
Strongarm and Sideswipe split off at the first intersection, Anna and Bee splitting off at the second. Anna drove down past the row of planes quietly, looking and listening for any activity. She paused when she heard Bumblebee backing up. She turned and saw the lights on inside a hangar, Bumblebee looking right at it. She quickly snuck up to the side of the building, transforming.
"Where are you, you stinking... There you are, you little beauty!"
Bumblebee flashed his lights at the 'con before transforming, aiming his gun at him. "Playtime's over."
Anna privately commed him since their bond wasn't solidified enough yet to use.
Do you want me to back you up?
Not yet. Wait and surprise attack him if something goes wrong.
Got it.
So, she waited, listening in to what was happening.
"Do you really think you can take us all on, Copper?"
"I know I can take you, Decepticon... Wait, did you say 'us'?"
She looked over to see a bunch of little spider 'cons tackle Bumblebee, shocking him and making him cry out from the pain. "Found the 'con! Rendezvous now!" She then ran over, kicking them off her mate. "I've always hated spiders!" She then screamed as one landed on her face. She punched it off, running off and freaking out. "It was on my face! MY FACE!"
Sideswipe and Strongarm showed up, gaping at Anna freaking out and then Bumblebee struggling to get more off himself. "Having trouble, guys?"
"See how funny it is after they sting you!"
Anna stomped on another one, glaring down at it. "One of them was on my face!"
Grimlock then burst through the hangar wall like the Kool-Aid man, "Oh yeah!" He was then shocked by one landing on his face.
Anna heard one of them laugh, probably the main one. She turned and shot it in the face, glaring. She thought being a 'bot would help with her arachnophobia, it didn't.
The spider cried out, falling to the ground. It quickly got up, calling to the others. "Oy, bring it in!"
Anna and Bumblebee both ran after the last one, crashing together as they just missed him. Anna groaned and rolled off him, rubbing at her face. "Scrap."
Bumblebee sat up, glaring down at the hole. "Who is this 'con?!"
Anna shuddered, remembering the feeling of it crawling on her face. She yelled out again, getting up and running away. "Forget about this. No one said there would be another freaking spider 'con! Airachnid was enough!"
Bumblebee watched her go, wanting to laugh but he was still pissed at the con. "Anna!" He vented softly, turning to the others. "Let's head back." He then ran after his mate, "Anna!" He caught up to her, pulling her into his arms. "Are you alright?"
Anna shuddered, looking down into his optics. "Yeah..." She groaned, wiping at her face. "They were crawling all over me. That's disgusting."
Bumblebee chuckled softly, kissing the top of her helm, "You're adorable. Let's get back to base."
Anna's facial plating warmed up, her cooling fans kicking in. "S-shut up." She transformed, racing through the groundbridge she opened.
Bumblebee laughed softly, transforming and following her. "I love her so much."
{X}
Anna shuddered again as Fixit pulled up the record of the creepy 'con. "I hate this guy..."
Bumblebee pat her shoulder, smiling up at her. "You're okay."
Fixit began reading off the information he found, "He's a Combiner named Chop Shop. A one-man heist crew with a list of crimes as long as Alpha Trion's beard. Have you seen that beard? It's more like a steel carpet, actually, the way he just-"
Bumblebee vented, looking pissed again. "So, Chop Shop's a thief and is up to his old tricks on Earth."
Fixit had another glitch as he began to speak, "I smacked, whacked, hacked into the local law enforcement database and found a list of property stolen within an appropriate radius. At first, there didn't seem to be a pattern, you know: copper wire, kerosene, space heater, insulation, storage tanks, computer chips, and now an aircraft gyroscope."
Anna frowned, crossing her arms. "The spider is building a spaceship."
Strongarm frowned, "He wants off-planet."
Sideswipe vented beside her, "Can't say I blame him."
Fixit turned back to his screen, looking over the list again. "Chop Shop appears to have everything he needs except fuel."
Denny spoke up, realizing something. "A manufacturing plant in the next county synthesizes liquid oxygen. Security's tight though. Too tight for oversize aliens to just walk up to."
Bumblebee nodded, "So we don't send in the aliens."
Anna placed a hand on her hip. "I do work for the United States Government and am part of the military." She motioned with her hands. "I can just stroll in there."
Bumblebee nodded, "Of course! You should take Denny and Fixit with you too for help."
Denny grinned, pumping his fist. "Yes!"
Fixit looked excited, "Me?"
Bumblebee nodded, "You said you wanted to get out in the field."
Strongarm leaned in, "Though it is against regulations."
Fixit frowned a little, "How dangerous are we talking about, say, from, I don't know, one to forty?"
Bumblebee frowned a little, looking up at him. "If Chop Shop makes it off-planet, who knows what trouble he could cause? He needs to be brought to justice."
Fixit nodded, "I'll do it!"
Grimlock transformed, grinning at everyone. "Boo! Let's go bug hunting!"
Anna winced, "Spiders are not bugs actually."
Bumblebee chuckled softly, "Throttle down, Grimlock. You're staying here. Without an Earth-based vehicle mode, you'd stick out like a sore cyber-carpal."
Grimlock whined sadly, "But, But, Fixit doesn't have a vehicle mode."
Denny looked over at him, "He's not gonna need one."
Anna transformed, activating her holoform. She pulled out her actual Government ID and put it in her pocket. "Denny, just wear a business outfit. I'll get you in with me." She then tilted her head, "What about Fixit though?"
Denny smirked, "I already have the perfect outfit planned for his disguise!" He motioned to the min-bot, "Follow me!"
{X}
Anna drove up to the gate, listening to Bumblebee over the radio in her car so the other two could hear. "Alright."
"Sideswipe, Strongarm and I are in low profile spots outside the plant. We'll move in for the collar as soon as you flush out Chop Shop."
"Copy."
Anna rolled down her window, looking up at the security guard. She nodded her head at him, deciding to be in her formal military outfit for the occasion. "Hello, sir." She flashed him her badge, "I'm with Unit E of the United States Government. I need to check the premises for a national threat."
"Ah! Yes, ma'am!" He quickly let her through, saluting her.
Anna smirked as she drove through, looking at the other two, winking. "Told you. So much simpler than your Hazardous Utility Bureau." Anna drove through the compound, keeping her eyes peeled for anything.
Fixit grinned over at Denny and Anna. "Fieldwork is fun. Let's find more humans we can fool."
Anna raised an eyebrow at Fixit. "That could be taken badly, but I'll let it slide." Anna then froze, stopping and reversing so the spiders didn't see her. "Found them." She contacted Bee silently to let him know as well. She dropped her holoform, telling the others to get out quietly. "Try and get the truck out of here, it will make Chop Shop chase you but I'll hold him back."
Denny got out, nodding as he waited with Fixit, "Got it."
Anna transformed, running into the open and firing at two of the spiders. "Got you!"
The main one yelled at them, "We've been made. Bug out!"
Anna ran up and kicked that one into the wall, doing the same to one that came up on her side. "You're not a bug!" She saw Denny and Fixit climb into the truck, speeding off. "Fixit and Denny are on their way out with the truck." She then grabbed the newly formed Chop Shop, tossing him against the wall again. "You're not going anywhere!"
Chop Shop smirked at her, turning back into the multiple spiders she hated. "Then neither are you!" One of them jumped on her face, baring its fangs at her.
Anna screamed and batted it off her face, kicking it away. "Get off me!" She shuddered, not noticing the others crawling up behind her. Before she could move they all jumped on her, shocking her. Anna cried out and fell to the ground, more shocks running through her system. She groaned as they all crawled off her, not able to move. "I hate spiders..." She mumbled, groaning again as they all ran off to catch the truck.
"Anna!" Anna looked up to see Strongarm helping her up. "Bumblebee sent me to help you, they're after Chop Shop. Denny and Fixit hid the truck and are waiting."
Anna groaned as she leaned into her. "Those stupid spiders. I can barely move."
Strongarm nodded, "Can you open a ground-bridge? Ratchet could help."
Anna nodded, "Yeah." She opened a ground bridge, Strongarm helping her limp through. Anna called out to Ratchet as she did, noticing Fowler peep his head out. "I kind of got hurt, guys."
Strongarm sat her down on a berth, "Do you want me to wait for you?"
Anna shook her helm, "I'll be fine." She remotely opened a ground bridge up, opening it on the outside of the compound. "Go help the team."
Strongarm smiled at her again before running back through. "Got it, ma'am."
Fowler walked quickly along the platform closest to her. "What happened kiddo?"
Anna laid back slowly, groaning. "Stupid spider 'con shocked me. I can barely move."
Ratchet ran into the room, looking like he just woke up. "Anna? What happened?"
Anna vented softly, trying not to remember the feeling of the creepy spider crawling on her. "Chop Shop, a spider 'con, shocked me until I couldn't move."
Ratchet ran a scan over her, shaking his helm. "Ironic you got hurt by a spider 'con. You hate spiders."
Anna shuddered again, accompanied by a body tremor. "I screamed multiple times."
Fowler frowned as he looked down at her, "You can help, right?"
Ratchet nodded, looking at his console. "Easily. I'll make an anti-paralyzing agent for you. You'll feel better after some Energon and rest. You'll be very sore tomorrow."
Fowler sighed, feeling better. "You had me worried, kiddo." He shook his head, "You can wait for your report until tomorrow." He shook his head, "I'll see you later, Ratchet, Anna. I'm getting some sleep."
Anna bid him goodnight, looking up at Ratchet as he started mixing some chemicals together with some Energon. "I'm sorry I woke you up too. It's hard enough to make you sleep."
Ratchet chuckled softly, "It's alright. I'll get some more recharge when you head back." He gently injected the liquid into an Energon line. "You should feel better soon." He ran another scan of her, waiting.
Anna soon wiggled her limbs around slowly, nodding her head. "Yeah, I do feel better." She sat up slowly, rubbing her helm. "Thank you, Ratchet."
Ratchet smiled, handing her another cube of Energon. "You're welcome, Anna." He patted her shoulder. "You can head back once you feel up to it."
{X}
Anna slowly walked through the ground-bridge, almost getting tackled as she did. Strongarm quickly blocked Grimlock from hugging her. "She's probably still sore, Grimlock!"
Anna smiled at her in thanks, "I am actually, but I'll be okay after some rest."
"Which you should do, now." Bumblebee walked up to her quickly, looking her over. "You had me worried!"
Anna smiled softly at him, "I'm sorry. I'm okay, Ratchet fixed an antidote. I just need rest even though I'll be sore tomorrow."
Bumblebee visibly relaxed, smiling up at her. "Good." He then gently picked her up, carrying her to where she had been recharging the past few nights with them. He ignored the looks everyone gave them for being so cute. "You need the rest." He sat her down, gently kissing the top of her helm.
Anna blushed a little, thanking him softly. "Okay, okay..." She then hugged him, groaning softly at the tightness she felt in her joints. "Though this makes me miss when I could sleep on your chest."
Bumblebee laid his head on top of hers, gently rubbing her back armor. "I miss it too… But we can cuddle now?" He grinned at her softly. "When you feel better."
Anna smiled and kissed his cheek before she transformed, venting softly as she relaxed. "Good night, Bumblebee."
Bumblebee smiled and transformed beside her, "Goodnight, Anna." Together they both slipped into recharge, comforted by their sparkmate being so close.
{X}
Grimlock looked down at Fixit curiously, "Wait, wait, wait. You did what?"
Fixit nodded, "Yeah, that's right, punched Chop Shop. A couple times, you know." He acted like he was punching, making sound effects as he did. "It was epic. I mean, it doesn't need to be repeated, but it was epic."
Bumblebee grinned down at Fixit, one hand on Anna's shoulder. "If it wasn't for Fixit, we never would have captured Chop Shop."
Grimlock smiled down at the mini-con, "Guess you can't spell team without an F. And, uh, um is it one X or two?" He then jumped back, "Oh, that reminds me. There's someplace we have to be." Soon everyone found themselves in the forest, watching the football game together.
Strongarm reached over trying to take the binoculars from Sideswipe. "Give it! Come on, it's my turn!"
Sideswipe held them away from her, frowning, "Is not."
Grimlock shushed them both, pointing to the field. "Uh, uh, uh, crunch time."
Together they watched as they did the last play of the game. The girl, Hank, started clucking like a chicken and walking around like one. That distracted the others long enough for Russell to kick the football right through the middle of the goal. Everyone cheered loudly for Russell, especially Denny.
Anna cheered loudly, pumping her arm up but then wincing. "Oh crap."
Bumblebee smiled, gently rubbing her shoulders. "I told you to stay at base and rest."
Anna huffed at him. "Did you honestly ever think I would do that?"
Bumblebee pouted. "No. But I could hope."
Anna smiled and kissed his facial plating, "Thank you for caring."
Bumblebee blushed deeply, stumbling through saying she's welcome causing the others to laugh and coo at them.
