Aftermath

(Once again, Bee's POV)

I smiled when Mr. and Ms. Jones glanced at each other, than nodded back at me and Chia.

"But first," Chia's mom began. My smile faded. "You have to wash him. He's filthy!"

I let out a sigh of relief. I was scared it would be something awful. But no, just a car wash.

Chia giggled. "Ok. Bee, should we get started now or later?" I thought about it and replied,

"Better to do it now so we don't forget."

Chia agreed and went off to get supplies needed. I transformed back into my sleek Camaro form and waited patiently in the cool, green, grassy, yard. Chia's parents went back in the house for breakfast. Soon, Chia came back from the shed with 2 big buckets filled with soapy water and a couple of sponges. She was also dragging a hose.

I shook in excitement. I LOVED car washes.

"Ready, Bee?" She said with a grin.

"LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!" I used a song to reply. She giggled.

"I'll take that as a yes." With that, she set down everything but the hose, and turned the nozzle.

An hour later, I was squeaky clean.

While washing me, Chia had discovered that I had been correct. I had a piece of scrap metal lodged in my side.

She had asked her father to come out and check it. Ms. Jones came out to watch. He said it wasn't lodged to deep, and he could get it out pretty easy. So, he got some pliers and pulled it out.

And let me tell you, it HURT.

He'd also started to get out the dents, while Chia touched up on the scratches in my paint.

"Thanks you guys. I really appreciate the help!" I said through my radio.

"No problem, Bee. I owed ya one for saving me." Chia smiled. Her mother looked up.

"Speaking of which, what happened?"

"Oh. Well, Prince ran off last night. I followed him to the old gas station. I saw Bee and another bot fighting, and then the other one flew off. I think Bee fainted after that."

"I did NOT!"

"I was looking at him when he woke up. He stood and took a step. The ground shook. I was leaning over the edge of the cliff when he did, and I fell. He caught me. After that, I fainted. I woke up and he had put me on some leaves like a bed. He offered to take me home as a way to make it up to me. And voila, here we are." She finished with a grin. Her father looked concerned.

"Are you all right? Did you get hurt? Did Prince come back with you?" He said.

"Yes, no, and no." Chia replied.

As she said that, we all heard a noise. It sounded like a cross between a bark and a laughing hyena. The Joneses looked at each other and each said in unison,

"Prince."

Ms. Jones got up and ran out to the front of the house. A few minute later she returned with a ball of white fur in her arms.

"Well, look who came back." Mr. Jones said with a grin. He stood up from where he was kneeling next to me and went over to pet the Pomeranian. I noticed he had gotten out all the dents, and with satisfaction, I transformed.

The small dog yapped and jumped out of the woman's arms. Then he walked over to a nearby bush, and proceeded to pee on it. I chuckled when it reminded me of Mojo.

Chia looked over at me, a puzzled look on her face. "What are you laughing at?"

"Oh, nothing. Just, he reminds me of my friend Sam's Chihuahua, Mojo, back in Nevada, that's all." I laughed a little more. "Once, he peed on the Autobot weapons specialist, Ironhide's foot. It was hilarious!"

Chia smiled.

"Well, Bumblebee, you're all fixed up. How do ya feel?" Mr. Jones said, looking up from playing with Prince.

"Great. Thanks again!" I replied.

"Ya know, Bee," Chia started. "You can stay here as long as you want."

I grinned down at the girl.

"Thanks. I'll keep that in mind."

I had a feeling that I'd be here for a while.

And I would gladly stay.

Ok. Hope you liked it! R&R. And remember, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all! Seeya!
