I still do not own Transformers…
The pain from her knee and the pain of finally holding her brother in her arms were overwhelming for her. Tears flowed freely down her pale face as she grasped him closer to her. She never wanted to let her precious brother go.
Sam held her tight and when he felt her loosing strength he collapsed with her to the floor. He was overjoyed with having the feeling of his sister in his arms. He never wanted to let her go again. He didn't care that his shirt was getting soaked with his sister's tears he didn't care about any of that. He didn't know how long he sat in that uncomfortable position the floor but when Serenity pulled back she was smiling and laughing.
"I missed you so much, Sam."
Primus did he miss that smile and that soothing voice of hers. He missed everything about his older sister. "I missed you too, sis."
Serenity was wiping her tears away but they seemed to just keep falling. She was just so happy and ecstatic to see him in the flesh. She had missed him so much. He was the one that she held onto even when the darkness was surrounding her. She held to life for him. She had promised herself and Primus had promised that she would see him again and she was just so happy to see that his promised fell through. Knowing the next time she would see him, he was going to receive a much needed hug from her. But for now, her Sammie needed her attention and love.
Still wiping the tears from her pale green eyes she looked at her little brother, "I heard you got into college. I'm so proud of you." She was still smiling big. "I still can't believe I missed you're 21st Birthday."
Sam gave a hearty laugh as they were both sitting on the floor. "Yeah, first Witwicky to get into college I feel special…" he stopped talking and just rubbed a hand through his short brown hair. He was embarrassed and he knew Serenity could tell. "My birthday wasn't all that special, sis. I did however spend it with Miles."
"That's good to hear."
"Let's get you off the floor. I can tell that knee of yours is starting to hurt." Standing up with ease and then grabbing his sister's hands he helped her up and got her standing. He could tell that he was right about her knee hurting her for he saw the looked of pain on her face. Shaking his head he helped her over to the couch and they both collapsed onto the soft cushions.
Serenity relaxed into the couch and caught a glimpse into the kitchen. John and Kathleen were out their way and just watching from afar. Sending a smile their way she turned back to Sam.
Sam saw her smile and knew that they would have to thank them later but he was glad that they were giving them the time to reunite. Leaning against the couch he closed his eyes and sighed. "Serenity, you don't know how glad I am to see you. It has been way to long since I saw your face."
Serenity looked at her brother with love as she tried to calm her shaking hands. "I'm sorry I was gone for so long. I'm sorry that I didn't reply or send you a letter on my whereabouts… I…" She didn't know what to say, she could tell him why and where she was, because she wasn't ready to go into what had happen to her. Not yet, not now.
Sam opened his eyes and looked at his sister, he could tell just by the emotions that passed over her face that she was in turmoil. "You don't have to go into explaining, sis. I have all the time in the world, there is no rush."
This is what she loved about Sam. He always knew when she was in turmoil with emotions and about things that were bothering her. She knew that he would wait for her answer, but would he be upset for what she had to tell? She placed that question in the back of her mind for now, instead she took a glance out the window and could tell that the sentient Camaro had moved closer, laughing softly she turned back to Sam and asked him an important question. "So, where'd you get the snazzy Camaro?"
Sam bolted up from his position and looked at his sis, while taking a quick peek at his car. "I saved him from the deep dark depths of the car park."
Serenity gave him that look and rolled her eyes. "Come on Sam, you can tell me."
Sam sighed and looked at Serenity, he knew John would kill him if he told the truth but this was his sister, and both mom and dad knew about Bee. "Well… I… it's complicated."
Serenity laughed at his confused face and would let him explain later, that is if she didn't decided to startle him later, though that would be fun. She hid her smile mentally as she stretches her hands over her head. "Well I'm hungry; you think we could eat before reminiscing about what we miss in the last years?"
Sam nodded his head before talking a glance at the kitchen; Mrs. Keller had heard Serenity words and was getting lunch ready. Motioning them to her he helped Serenity up and guided her into the kitchen. After she was seated in her spot he walked over to John and gave him a manly hug. "Thanks so much for the awesome surprise."
"You're welcome."
Sam hugged Mrs. Keller also and gladly took the kiss on his cheek from her. He then walked over to the table and sat down next to his sister.
Lunch wasn't all that of a surprised, there was laughter and storytelling of the two siblings and it was sometimes quiet. Over all it seemed to be a normal lunch.
When lunch was over, Kathleen shooed Serenity, Sam, and her husband away so she could do the dishes. They all just laughed and thanked her.
Sam was heading back to the couch when he saw his sister looking out the front door. "Want to go for a drive?"
Serenity nodded her head and began to grab her shoes. She grabbed her coat and scarf and opened the door.
"Hey hold on a minute…" Sam was rushing to get his shoes and coat before he was also ready. Nudging his way to the door way he saw John look from the hall way a few feet behind him. Giving him a look that he would keep his secret for now he followed after his sister.
John stopped in the door way and watched as they both stumbled down the stairs and to the Camaro. He was about the shut the door when he heard something that nearly gave him a heart attack.
"Hurry up Sam, Bumblebee wants to go for a cruise."
Sam and John's jaws dropped.
"Oops." Serenity had let out her secret and it was well worth it, to see the looks on their faces.
"Oops I did it again…"
"BUMBLEBEE!"
The Brittany Spears song died and Bumblebee lowered on his axels. A soft whine was heard as his headlights drooped and he was doing a really bad impression of the puppy face.
"Aww… Poor, Bee." Serenity limped over to Bumblebee and rubbed his hood with her hand. Turning back to her brother she placed her hands on her hips and gave him a soft glare. "Sam, you be nice to your guardian." She scolded.
"But… But…" Sam was at a loss of words, how could his sister know about, them? How?
John was blinking and still blinking as he couldn't believe what he saw. "Serenity?" he called towards the young woman.
"Sorry about this John, but any information you want on this is classified." She paused and then gave another smirk. "Though I would be more than happy to tell you if you can get me clearance to see and meet the one and only Optimus Prime."
To say the least all hell broke loose.
It was the throbbing pulse from Bumblebee that had clashed into frame first. Surprise and shock burst through the unknown bond they had and it was overwhelming. Her new special power was taking it calmly but it was still a shock to her, to feel such powerful emotion from the sentient being beside her. She could see out of the corner of her eye that he was trembling, but she didn't know if it was fear or something else, because it seem to be blocked from her. Wanting to reach out and comfort him she had to hold back for now.
John was next.
John looked at Serenity, then to Sam, and lastly to Bumblebee. "I-I'll get right on that." He shut the door and went back into his house and disappeared into his office. For once he felt empty. He was desperately trying to remember if he slipped anything about the Autobots but he couldn't recall if he did. Hands shaking he took a seat at his desk and held his head in his hands. He had a lot of work and calls to make to get Serenity clearance, he had better start now. It was the least he could do, he felt like he still owed her a lot and if she wanted to meet the Autobots then so be it.
Outside Sam wasn't sure what to think but the first thing he did was come closer and grab his sister's arms. He didn't hold her tight or tight enough to leave a bruise he just held her and looked at her with stunned brown eyes. "How?"
Serenity looked at Sam and turned away, "I can't tell you Sam. I-I'm sorry." Oh, how she wanted to tell him, but Primus had specifically told her, that Optimus had to know first before she could tell her loved ones.
Sam searched deep within her pale green orbs before letting his hands fall to his side. "I should have told you right away when you asked. Your my sister and you do have the right to know, I-I was just scared about how you would react."
Serenity touches his arm and smiles softly. Tears were threatening to fall but she held them back. "I've been through so much in the last three years Sam. Most of it was bad but there was one good thing that came out of it, I met someone, someone that Bumblebee and the rest of the Autobots hold dear to their sparks." She paused and looked away. "I've said too much, but after Optimus knows and hears what I have to say, I'll tell you. I promise."
Sam knew she kept her promises and he was looking forward to what she had to say, but he was upset to hear that Serenity went through some tough times and he wanted to know why he couldn't contact her through the last three years. Perhaps after she met up with Optimus, everything would be cleared, he hoped.
"Sam, can we still go for that drive? I kind of want to see Bee in his true form." Serenity said this as she placed a hand on the slightly trembling Bumblebee.
Sam shook his head and laugh before toss his sister the keys. Seeing her catch them easily he walked over to the passenger side and looked at his dear sister. "Sure, but your 'driving'."
"Sam I'm sure he can drive himself, but I'll go along with your funny act." She then got into the sentient vehicle.
Bumblebee had already opened his door and was waiting for the young female to get in. Serenity was what Sam had called her, and he was happy to see his friend with his long lost sister. After waiting for his two precious passengers to buckle up he put himself in reverse and backed out of the driveway. He kept the music off as he just wanted to hear what the two were going to say.
Serenity wanted to put her hands on the steering wheel but she held them back and instead looked over the interior of the vehicle. Bumblebee was in pristine condition and she could tell that Sam had some part in keeping him from being dirty with boyish accessories. She did like the touch of the bumblebee scent on the rearview mirror and it definitely had some charm. Slowly getting the courage she placed her hands on the steering wheel and rubbed her hands over it with a soothing touch.
"I'm guessing Ron took you to see, Bolivia's Finest Quality Used Cars and Petting Zoo?" She asked with humor in her voice.
Sam laughed and nodded. "Yeah, dad took me there."
"Bumblebee couldn't have been this good looking when you got him, did he?" She rubbed her thumb over the Autobot insignia and felt a soothing pulse radiate from him.
"Yeah he was a crappy 1976 Camaro with custom faded racing stripes, no offense Bee."
"How much did Ron pay for him?" She was curious.
"Got him for $4000 after he sound blasted all the other cars windows around him it was pretty cool."
Tapping the dash board she praised Bee for his good work. "Good job Bee."
Bee's radio knob shifted and a young male voice that sounded a lot like Sam spoke. "Welcome."
Serenity frowned at that but rubbed the steering wheel with understanding. She knew vaguely about his voice from seeing something of a flashback in her dreams from Primus, so she knew what he was going through.
"Are you recording my voice again, Bee?" Sam asked.
"Yes." Bee replied with a monotone voice from someone that Sam was still slightly scared of.
"Come on Bee, don't use Prowls voice." There was a whine in Sam's voice as he smacked the dashboard in a playful way.
Laughter filled the car and the tension was finally broken.
Bumblebee drove many miles out of town and finally stopped in abandon town. It was getting dark and it would be the perfect spot for him to transform and stretch his legs. Letting his two charges out backing up so he was partly hidden by the shadow of a building he began to shift into his true form.
She could hear it the sounds of a grand transformation was about to take place. Instantly grabbing Sam's arm out of slight fear she held onto him as she saw the change begin. Everything began to shift and move, Bumblebee wasn't looking like a Camaro anymore but almost a pile of metal and then it was changing again. Gasping at the sight it was very hard for her to brain to comprehend on what was going on.
It was over in a matter of minutes and there right in front of them was a being that she was familiar with. Of course he was so much smaller than Primus but she didn't care. Letting her brother's arm go she stepped forward and looked up. His baby blue optics took her attention right away and when she saw movement on his back she cooed when she saw his door wings. She was in total awe with what she was seeing. "Bee you are one handsome bot." She managed to get out as she walked even closer so she was standing next to his leg. She only came up to his knee but she didn't care, instead she was already reaching out and touching the metal. She was very happy to feel the warm metal and knew that Primus was right that these sentient beings were just as much as alive as humans were.
Bee was in state of his own, he really didn't know what to make of the human girl at his feet. She seemed so relax around him and he was wondering what had happen to her and what made her feel so relax around him. Crouching down so he was looking into the pale green eyes of Serenity he also reached out and placed a comforting hand at her back.
Serenity turned and looked at the large hand at her back before reaching out and gasping his finger. "It's okay Bee." She smiled and leaned against his touch as he curled his fingers around her small frame.
Back with Sam, he was also in a state of awe with how Bee was already snuggling up to his sister. Very happy for this outcome he walked over to them and leaned against his partner's knee. Rubbing his hand against the frame he felt like everything was at it should be.
The room was dark except for a lonely computer screen. A man sitting in the darken room looked at the screen and then picked up the ringing telephone that sat next to him. "What is it?"
"Sir, N.B.E. 13 is in association with N.B. E. 02. What are your orders?"
The man paused and smiled. "Let them be."
"Very well sir."
Hanging up the phone and resting his head on his bony hands he spoke to the room. "Do not think you can get away from us Ms. Witwicky." An evil smirk graced his lips as he turned the computer off and sat in the dark room chuckling. "We will meet again."
Bumblebee returned his charges back home to the Keller's after a few hours. Parking in the driveway he unlocked his doors and let them out. As he watched them stumbled into the lighted house he went back to the promise that he made with Serenity. He would keep it and until she had her say with Prime he would let him in on what he had discovered on her to him. For now a much needed recharge was in order. Setting his systems on low he fell into a light recharge. He would instantly wake if anything was to happen, but for now the area was clear and he could rest.
The next few days were quite normal. Sam and Serenity were getting back into the swing of things and were catching up on what they missed. John was nice enough to park his car in the driveway and let Bee have the garage so he could converse with the two humans. It was like that for about three days and soon enough the calls and the work that John did were in his hands and they all said that Serenity had the clearance to see the rest of the Autobots and especially Optimus Prime. Serenity was ecstatic and couldn't wait to see the one bot that she was asked to see by Primus himself.
