"Come on Prowl! I want to go home!" Sari complained to the cyber-ninja as they walked towards the base. Prowl sighed and tried to not let the irritation show on his faceplate.
"You were the one that kept us out longer than necessary. And besides, you were the one that wanted me to help you with your homework." he said as he finally spotted their base.
"Whatever. There is the base!" Sari said with a grin and started to run. Prowl shook his helmet and continued to walk.
"We are back!" Sari yelled as they opened the door and walked in. To her surprise she saw 'Bumblebee' talking to Optimus but she didn't think about it. She ran up to Optimus and 'Bumblebee'.
"Hey Bumblebee! Ready to get your aft kicked by me in 'Mortal Combat 5'?!" she said with a grin and 'Bumblebee' looked down at her and blinked.
"Hey! Sari! Over here!" Bumblebee yelled from the couch as he paused the game he was playing and looked back at Sari and Prowl. Sari looked at Bumblebee on the couch and then the Bumblebee in front of her. Prowl did the same but he noticed that the Bumblebee with Optimus stared at him.
"Okay. Can someone please tell me what's going on here?" Sari asked as she backed away from 'Bumblebee'.
"The mech over there with Optimus is Shifter. Bulkhead found him amongst the rubble from the earthquake." Bumblebee said as he lazily waved a servo.
"Come on Sari! I want to beat this game!" he then said impatiently and turned back to the game. Sari glanced at Shifter before she hurried over to the couch and took a controller. Prowl and Shifter looked at each other.
"Shifter. That's an interesting name." Prowl said as he looked the mech up and down. He certainly looked like Bumblebee.
"I know. I get that a lot." Shifter said and Prowl had to reset his audio receptors.
"Excuse me?" he said and stared at Shifter's faceplate just to make sure that it was him who talked.
"I said that I get that a lot." Shifter said and Prowl slowly nodded. Optimus looked amused as he looked between Prowl and Shifter.
"He is basically a clone of Bumblebee. According to Ratchet, the only thing that differs between the two are some hidden mods and their personality." Optimus said and looked at Prowl.
"Though he can act like Bumblebee just fine! If that slagger is going to pull a prank on me, I will weld his and Bumblebee's aft to the roof!" yelled Ratchet from his place. Prowl glanced towards Ratchet's general direction before he looked back at Shifter.
"Well... This was awkward." Shifter mumbled to himself but both Optimus and Prowl heard him.
"How come?" Prowl asked and Shifter shifted a little uncomfortable before he shook his helmet.
"Forget that I said anything." he said before he looked at Optimus.
"You said that I could borrow a guest room? I'm a bit tired." he said and Optimus slowly nodded.
"Sure. Follow me." he said and he shared a look with Prowl before he showed Shifter the way. Prowl looked after them.
"We are going to keep an optic on him. Want to help?" Bumblebee suddenly asked and almost making Prowl jump. Almost. He looked over to Bumblebee and Sari.
"We could use your ninja skills." Sari said and grinned. Prowl sighed. He couldn't deny that the mech was strange. It felt like he was supposed to know him.
"I'm not going to spy on him. But I'm keeping an optic open." Prowl said before he walked to his own room to meditate.
