Title: Eden

Chapter Three: Shopping

Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers, if I did Jazz wouldn't have died, and Sam would dump the 'evil jock concubine' for Bee and have many sparklings and I will not make any money off of this story either.

Summary: Sam has been having weird dreams a few months after the Mission City Incident and Starscream is on the moving taking over the 'Cons as leader in place of Megatron, and the Autobots have been picking up weird signals of a Cybertronian, but are they Autobots or Decepticons?

A/n: I'm sorry for the lack of updates, but RL butted in and I had to get another job, so updates will be once sometimes twice a month if I'm lucky. I saw Transformers 2 and when I got home I went in and deleted almost six pre-written chapters for this and another story. That movie kicks ass!!! –Ahem- Well, sorry again for the lack of updates. And I got myself a beta reader!!! She kicks ass also!!!!

At the Witwicky Household…

"Oh, nononononono." Sam groaned when he saw Bumblebee and Ironhide parked on his street.

He forgot to tell them that Will was staying with him and his family. Sam pulled into his driveway and turned off the car. He sat there for a minute, trying to come up with a good explanation for Bee, he didn't know why he felt slightly guilty by not telling Bee that Will was staying with him. Sam sighed and braced himself for a draining few hours, and got out of his Mom's car.

When Sam slammed the car door, he saw the living room windows curtain move, he knew that Will was awake, he hoped that Will explained everything and he could have a nice relaxing evening for once. When Sam walked into the living room and saw the holograms of Bee and Ironhide, he felt his gut clench. They never went into holoforms when they were not in their Alt-modes. It expanded too much energy, Bee once said, to do it for long periods of time.

Will looked up from the sofa, where he was feeding Abby. He gave Sam a slightly tired smile and rolled his eyes at the corner of the living room where Ironhide was standing with his arms crossed over his chest, looking like a menacing version of Mr. Clean. Sam chuckled a bit as he dropped his bag on an armchair and joined Will on the sofa and waited for the interrogation to begin.

"So, Samual." Sam winced; Bee never called him Samual unless he was beyond pissed. "I heard that you made a late night trip out to Williams place." Another wince, Bee was pissed. "Would you care to explain." It wasn't a question.

Sam sighed; sometimes he forgot that Bumblebee was a 2nd Lieutenant in the Autobot Army, and not a really cool best friend.

"Well, I got a call from Will asking me to come over early this morning and he wanted my help in moving some things, and when we got to my house I offered him the guest bedroom to sleep in because he looked really tired, and then I went to school and came home." Sam said nervously, it was the truth, just not all of it and not as detailed as Bee or Ironhide would like.

Bumblebee moved from his position by the living room door and sat in the last free arm chair and stared at Sam with his bright blue eyes, the color of ice.

Hard.

Sam glanced quickly at him then away to stare at the wall slightly above and just next to Bees right shoulder. He sat there for a few minutes before losing his nerve and taking a peek again, and at the look on his Guardians face he looked away just as fast as before. Bee looked furious, He never looked at Sam that way before.

Bee sighed mentally as he tried his best to look firm and hard like Ironhide said to, but it wasn't really working. His readings said that Sam was about ready to either bolt from the room or start rambling, if the high heart rate and the brain waves were anything to go by.

:Ironhide, can't I let up now? Sam's scared to death: Bumblebee sent over the privet comm system he and Ironhide shared.

:No. Your human needs to know he can't go running off anytime he pleases without leaving a message: Ironhide said harshly, Bumblebee thanked Primus he didn't have to deal with him later like Will was going to do. Bumblebee refocused on Sam and saw that the readings were through the roof, although Sam showed nothing on his face.

:No, Little Bott. He needs to learn: Ironhide said slightly softer tone of voice from before. He knew that this was hard for him, he can't imagine what it was like for his Little Bott, and Bumblebee was always so sensitive to everything.

'Sam-" :Bumblebee!: "I understand why you left, but couldn't you have left a note or something? Even calling me and a message would have been good." :Shut up, Ironhide. Sam's had enough:

That was true, when Little Bott called Sam, Sam and not Samual, he looked better then he did before, like he was going to puke up lubricates and shut his systems down at the same time. Now, if only his human was just as easy to command. All William did was roll his eyes and not listen to Ironhide when he was yell -ahem- talking to him. It was infuriating to say the least. He could make 'Cons lubricate themselves at his name and one tiny, silly little human rolls his eyes at him and ignores what he tells them for their own good!

Primus, William was stubborn!

"I know Bee, but it was so early and it doesn't take that long to get over at Will's place, I didn't really think about it. I'm sorry." And Sam was, he was sorry he forgot to leave a note or something and then caused Bee worry after the fact, and that in turned caused himself some stress over the event. And if this is what happens when forgets to leave a note he would make sure he does from now on!

Bee sighed, he knew that Sam didn't mean to forget, but when he found out, he felt like taking Sam by the shoulders and shaking him. Didn't he know that there was still Decepticons still around? Starscream wasn't the big issue. It was Barricade.

Barricade was still unconfirmed about still being on earth, so he was the bigger danger to Sam. He could easily kidnapped Sam and they wouldn't even now for a few hours. Barricade was like Bumblebee, a scout/spy depending on the circumstance. He could change his holoform into any form, and he could make it last for weeks, just like Bumblebee.

"Sam, you need to go shopping soon, you're almost out of food." Will said, as he got up from the sofa and moved Abby to his right shoulder to burp her as he went to the kitchen to clean the bottle. Ironhide sighed and followed his human from the room, he wasn't done talking to William yet, the slagger.

"Really?" Sam perked up, "Sure, let me grab the credit card and I'll go." When Sam glanced at Bumblebee, he quickly added, "And Bee of course will come with me. Don't want to run into Barricade or something." Bee looked pissed at first then he calmed down when he learned that he was coming along with his human. He almost lost him in Mission City he wasn't losing him again.

Sam grabbed his messenger bag and darted up his stairs to drop it off and grab the emergency credit card that his Mom left. Along with three First Aid Kits, flares, two Satellite Cell phones, and three credit cards. His Mom was always a worrywart, ever since she found out about the Autobots, she became, if it was possible, worse then she was before.

After catching a look at himself in the upstairs mirror, he quickly changed shirts, from his solid blue t-shirt to a bright yellow and gold one with a black jean jacket. He hurried down the stairs, he didn't want to push his luck with Bee right then, he didn't like it when they fought with one another. It always made him feel bad.

"Bee? I'm ready to go, are you coming?" Sam called from the living room as he headed to the front door. Bee heard Sam call for him and left the kitchen to catch up. Sam wisely got into the passenger seat when he got to his car. He knew that Bee was still a little pissed, and he did not want to provoke him into another argument so soon after their last one.

Sam was buckling his seat belt when Bee opened the driver's side door and slid into the car and started the car up. Sam opened his mouth to tell be to put on his seat belt when he thought better of it. After all it wasn't like Bee could get hurt in an accident or anything along those lines. It was a tense twenty minutes before they pulled into the local grocery store. When Sam got he was surprised that Bee also got out, he remembered Bee telling him it took a lot of energy to stay in the Holoform for long periods of time.

When Sam went to grab the cart Bee got there first and started pushing. Sam sighed, he didn't mind it when Bee was all protective of him, but Bee was acting just like he did right after Mission City. Then he didn't even like Sam walking to the bathroom without him and while that endeared Bee to his Mom, Sam didn't like it.

"Alright, Bee, this way first." Sam said as he started to walk ahead of him and towards the fruit isles, this was a long time habit when he had to push the cart when he went with his Mom to the grocery store. Always fruit and vegetables first then meat and dairy with grains last as the were usually up near the checkout stands.

After spending twenty minutes in the fruit/vegetables they finally moved onto the meats/dairy isles, which they didn't get a lot of. As both Will and Sam had been having problems with there meat intake, but they did get some good seafood and lots of yogurt for some odd reason. When they hit the bread isles is when they got into trouble. Both Miles and Trent were there, which was always a problem.

So, instead of doing the smart thing, which was to turn around and leave, like what Bee was telling Sam to do in a low tone of voice, Sam picked up his walking speed and practically ran down the isles towards his best friend and ex-rival of sorts. Trent had Miles trapped between his body and the self behind him, so he didn't see Sam coming but Miles sure did, and a look of relief went over his face. Which Trent caught.

Of course.

Trent scowled at Miles and swung around to see what had his prey looking all relaxed suddenly and saw what Miles saw. Sam rushing down the isle with this huge, and they meant huge, guy following behind him with a thunderous look on his face and for the first time in Trent DeMarco's life he did the smart thing, he turned around and whispered something to Miles and left both the isle and store in an angry huff.

"Miles, man, what the hell was that about?" Sam said when he was next to his best friend; he was ignoring the angry Bee behind him, something he knew he was going to regret later when Bee got him alone again.

"Haven't a clue, Sammy." Miles lied cheerfully, and Sam knew that Miles knew what that was all about. But he wasn't going to push, after all, he had two, he would repeat that, two giant alien robots living in his garage, it's not like Miles could one up him on that.

"Sure." Sam said, and Miles nodded his thanks about not asking about whatever the hell that was. Sam took a good look at Miles and noticed that something seemed…off somehow, if that was the right word. He took in Miles appearance, which looked normal, like he just rolled out of bed, but Miles eyes is what caught Sam's attention. He had seen them like that before, and only once before, but Mrs. Lancaster wasn't that stupid was she?

But another look at Miles eyes had Sam convinced, that yes; Miles Mother was that damn stupid!

"Bee finish the shopping and wait with the car, I need to talk to Miles real quick, understand." This wasn't a question, it was an order and Bee had never seen Sam be so, so, hard all of a sudden. Bee was about to protest, but he got one good look at his Sam's face and decided that whatever pissed Sam off so bad was going to be in trouble. The last time Sam had that face was when he found out that Mikaela was cheating on him with the Trent boy.

Bee nodded silently and pushed the cart back down the isle, he still needed bread and maybe some sweets would do Sam some good when he was finished with whatever he was doing. And if he had his sensors trained on Sam and found out what was going on…well, he wasn't going to tell Sam, now was he?

As he turned the cart down another isle he could see Sam grab Mile Lancaster's wrist and pulled him towards the stores restroom was. Now Bumblebee was really curious, and he really, really wanted to know what that was all about. Bumblebee just sighed as he picked over the chocolate and strawberry cakes, he wished that all of his systems were up and running other wise he would be able to get more then one word in every five.

Bumblebee sighed.

Again.
