Chapter 4
A/N: I sadly don't own TFP or the Little Mermaid. L
*telepathy*
~thoughts~
"Bumblebee? Are you alive in there? You've been in your room all morning?" Lightningstrike called through his older brother's door.
Bumblebee opened the door and swam out, humming to himself. His siblings looked at him confused; first their brother misses breakfast, then he comes out humming and looking like he's in la-la land.
"What's with him lately?" Thunderblast asked.
"Where's his necklace?" Dawnfire asked.
Megatron just turned the corner when 'Bee almost ran into him. "Morning Dad," he said with a huge grin before shoving a flower in his father's hair and swimming away. Megatron just grabbed the flower completely baffled.
"Oh…he's got it bad," Eclipse smiled all knowingly.
"Got what?" the boys and their father asked; all obviously too dense to read the signs.
"Are you all so dense?!" Dawnfire snapped placing her hands on either side of her face. "It's so obvious!"
"Even I can see it," the royal physician, Knockout said swimming by.
"What's so obvious?!" they all asked wanting to know.
"Bumblebee's in love!" Luna squealed excitedly.
The mermen quickly looked back to the now obviously lovesick boy, who was swimming off to Primus knows where.
-.-
Soundwave swam back and forth trying to figure out how to keep Megatron from finding out. ~This will not be easy~
Bumblebee sat in the coral reef, picking petals off a flower like girls usually do. "She loves me," he smiled. "She hates me," he frowned. "She loves me!" he smiled picking up the final petal. "I knew it!"
*Bumblebee* Soundwave said, but he was just ignored.
"I have to see her again! Tonight!" Bumblebee said concocting a plan. "I'll swim up to her palace…"
*'Bee, get your head out of the clouds and back into the water where it belongs!*
"…then I'll have Raf splash around to get her attention, and-"
"Down here is your home!" Soundwave said with his actual voice, gaining the prince's attention. "The Autobot's world is a mess, life under the sea, that's where things really are!"
The seaweed is always greener in somebody else's lake
You dream about going up there
But that's a big mistake
Soundwave grabbed 'Bee's chin and pulled his attention from the surface. With that he sat the prince down on a rock.
Just look at this world around you
What more are you looking for?
Under the sea
Under the sea
My boy it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me!
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun the slave away
While we devoting full time to floating
Under the sea
Soundwave pointed to a lobster who then began playing the clams.
Down here all the fish is happy
As off through the waves they roll
The fish on the land ain't happy
They sad 'cause they in the bowl
At the precise moment a rather large blue fish appeared floating in a bubble that floated in front of a concerned looking 'Bee.
But fish in the bowl is lucky
They in for a worser fate
One day when the boss get hungry
Soundwave grabbed a pin and popped the bubble, causing the fish to fall on a plate looking rock.
Guess who's gonna be on the plate?
Under the sea
Under the sea
Nobody beat us
Fry us
And eat us in fricassee!
We what land folks love to cook
Under the sea we're off the hook
We got no troubles
Life is the bubbles
Under the sea
Under the sea
Since life is sweet here
We got the beat here naturally
Some other sea creatures heard the music, and began to join in.
Even the sturgeon and the ray
They get the urge and start to play
We got the spirit!
You've got to hear it!
Under the sea
The newt play the flute
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass
And they soundin' sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul (Yea)
The ray he can play
The lings on the strings
The trout rockin' out
The blackfish she sings
The smelt and the sprat
They know where it's at
And oh, that blowfish blow!
Raf swam through the now rather large party swimming straight for 'Bee. Going up to the distracted prince, he whispered something in his ear. Bumblebee grinned, and fallowed Raf out; not that anyone noticed.
YEA!
Under the sea!
Under the sea
When the sardine begin the beguine
It's music to me!
What they got?
A lot of sand?!
We have a hot crustacean band!
Each little clam here
Know how to jam here
Under the sea!
Each little slug here
Cutting a rug here
Under the sea!
Each little snail here
Know how to wail here
That's why it's hotter under the water
Ya, we in luck here
Down in the muck here
Under the sea!
They all finished, looking at the rock that Bumblebee used to be on. All the fish that joined looked disappointed and swam off.
~Someone needs to nail that boy's fins to the floor~ Soundwave thought.
"Soundwave!" a young merman called swimming up. He had a black and white tail, red eyes, short blonde hair, and wore the royal guard crest.
*Yes Barricade?*
"I have an urgent message from Lord Megatron!" he reported with a rushed salute. "He said he wanted to see you right away! Something about Bumblebee!" With that the young guard hastily swam back to his post.
~Scrap! He knows!~ the advisor thought going pale.
-.-
Megatron sat on his throne looking at the flower Bumblebee shoved in his hair. "Who could the lucky mermaid be?" he mused out loud. Looking away from the flower he notices Soundwave floating awkwardly in the doorway.
*If this is a bad time I could come back later* Soundwave said trying to avoid the upcoming conversation.
"It's fine, come in Soundwave," Megatron said sounding a bit rushed as he hid the flower.
~Don't overreact. Remain calm~ Soundwave told himself swimming up. *Yes-?* he stopped realizing his 'voice' was showing his nervousness. *Yes your majesty?*
"Soundwave, I'm concerned about Bumblebee. Have you noticed he's been acting rather strange lately?" Megatron asked.
*Strange?*
"You know, moaning about, daydreaming, singing to himself. You haven't noticed?"
*Oh…well…I…*
"Soundwave," Megatron said trying to hide his smirk. "I know you've been keeping something from me."
*Keeping something?*
"About Bumblebee," Megatron said trying not to grin at the advisors terrified expression, "in love?"
*I tried to stop him sir! I told him to stay away from Autobots! They are bad they are trouble-!*
"Autobots? WHAT ABOUT AUTOBOTS?!" the Decepticon king roared.
*Autobots?* Soundwave asked realizing his slip-up. *Who said anything about Autobots?*
Megatron promptly grabbed the advisor's throat.
