A few weeks later

"a there he's free to go" Ratchet handing Bumblebee to a very happy sister.

"aw look at you are you all better?" Arcee cooed as she took the sparkling and hugged him.

"Bee aw better cee!" Bee excitedly chirped as he glowed with energy and excitement.

"we go find twins cee?" Bee buzzed happily.

"Yeah go beat them up for me Bee" Ratchet laughed.

"Yeah ok lets go find those trouble makers" Arcee giggled and bounced out of the main room and outside to see the twins preparing something for the bots in the distance.

"What are they up to…" Arcee asked herself.

"Cee down!" Bee whistled and squirmed.

"aw Bee how about I just carry you for now" Arcee said getting a better grip on the squirming sparkling.

"No cee Bee aw better member!" Bee squealed squirming harder.

"Yeah I remember but we are already at the twins now I will put you down" she said placing Bee between the twins that were fooling around with something on the ground.

Bee took a step towards the golden twin, as he took that step his leg gave out and Bee collapsed onto his face right into the dirt.

"Oh Bee you alright that was quite the dive you took!" Sideswipe asked as he picked up the fallen sparkling that was clicking at his legs.

"Arcee why didn't you carry him?" Sunstreaker snapped at the femme.

"I was but he kept on squirming around!" Arcee snapped back at the mech.

"Yeah well the doc bot said…"

"I know what he said!" Arcee snapped as she took the sparkling from Sideswipe and walked away.

"Humph must be her time of the cycle or something" Sideswipe shrugged and pushed a button and n the distance five bots got caked in a sticky substance.

"What the hell!" The bots screamed in the distance and turned to see the twins having a laugh attack.

"BOY'S!" Prowl screamed.

"Oh crap!" The twins quickly transformed and hightailed it out of there.

"Hi Arcee…" A voice said in the hallway as Arcee stormed past the voice towards her room with Bee in her arms.

"huh what?" Arcee turned to have Mirage right in front of her.

"Oh geez don't do that!" Arcee snapped as she jumped when seeing the red bot.

"Say hi I'm sorry…." Mirage said apologetically and turned his head away.

"No I'm sorry I snapped at you the twins pissed me off that's all" Arcee said her being the apologetic one now.

"it's ok" Mirage perked up a little.

"So I see you're busy with Bee huh?" Mirage said as he poked the sparklings ticklish spot.

"Oh yeah I was about to give him to his father" Arcee giggled as she watched Bumblebee laugh.

"so are you…uh…" Mirage stuttered.

"I'll take Bee off your servos" Prime said with a giant smile and took the sparkling.

"Oh sure" Arcee said watching the prime smile at the spy and femme.

"Did I interrupt something?" Prime asked with a giant smile.

"uuuuuuuuuh….." Mirage stood there rubbing the back of his helm.

The prime smiled and tried to hold in his giggles, when the twins rolled into the hallway, Mirage rolled his optics at the twins as they rolled up to the the bots and the sparkling that were in the hall.

"Hey there Bee, can I see him?" Sideswipe asked the prime that was holding the sparkling.

"Oh sure here you go" Optimus said handing the sparkling to the silver twin.

"hey there Bee….can you do something for me?" The silver twin asked the sparkling that nodded, and listened to what the twin told him.

"MIRWAGE WOVES CEE!" Bumblebee yelled through beeps as it echoed through the hall and in through the base.

The prime just roared with laughter and the twins did the same, as Mirage went totally invisible, and Arcee threw a very angry and embarrassed look at the sparkling and the twins, even Ratchet could be heard laughing from the med bay along with two green bots Prowl, Wheeljack, and Jazz.

"I'm sorry Arcee Mirage" Prime said as he shoed the twins away as he followed them into the main room.

"Obviously your better since you have the strength to yell that huh?" Ratchet laughed poking the sparkling that giggled and grabbed his finger and chirped and gurgled at it.

"Aw isn't he just the cutest lil sparkling" Jazz cooed smiling warmly at the scene.

Sideswipe nodded and placed the sparkling on the ground, Bumblebee pushed himself up halfway and fell flat on his stomach.

"ouchie!" Bumblebee buzzed, Ratchet watched his struggles and gave a guilty gaze to him, Optimus saw the gaze and placed a gentle hand on the medics shoulder "you did what you could old friend the only thing that matters is that he's alive" the prime said reassuringly.

"Yeah… I know I just wished I would have found it when I patched up the gash wound I was so foolish as to not check" The medic said shaking his head as he watched the sparklings struggles as he pushed the servos that tried to help him away.

"You put your best effort into it Ratchet and he's alive don't beat youself up about it please" The prime smiled as he gave the medic a warm squeeze on the shoulder and walked toward the sparkling that was getting very moody.

"Come on Bee let us help you" Sideswipe whined as he gently grabbed the sparkling arm to pull him up to his feet.

"No me walk on own!" a frustrated little sparkling buzzed pulling his arm away from the silver twin that shook his head.

"Alright Bee settle down let Sideswipe help you" Optimus said as he leaned down on the floor to be face to face with the tiny moody sparkling.

Bee turned away and pouted being rebellious to his father.

"Aw come on Bee let big brother help you up please?" Sideswipe asked the sparkling that pouted.

Bee crawled slowly over to the golden twin and leaned against the twins tire.

"Aw hi Bee" Sunstreaker smiled.

"Up sunny?" Bee asked with a big watery optics.

"Of course" Sunny said as he plucked the sparkling off the floor and into his arms.

"I feel loved" Sideswipe said as he got up off the floor and crossed his arms.

The prime smiled and laughed at the sparkling that teasingly buzzed and clicked at the silver twin.

"Little traitor" Sideswipe said as he rolled and threw himself onto the couch.

"So you were saying something?" Arcee asked the bot with an Italian accent that looked very embarrassed.

"uuuuh….yeah…." Mirage said quietly.

"you want to….uh…go….on….a….drive….with….me?…" The spy stuttered out dying of embarrassment.

"Aw of course I will Mirage" Arcee with a flattered smile.

"great ok!" Mirage brightened up

"So what time?" Arcee asked smiling at the spy's joy.

"Yeah that's right" Mirage said cheerfully.

"what?" Arcee said with a confused look.

"Oh.. I meant sunset sorry…." Mirage quickly went back to embarrassed.

"Ok that's a wonderful time….. Your so cute when your shy" Arcee said walking into her room.

"OH MIRAGE MADE THE MOVE OOOOOOOOOH!" Sideswipe said as he over heard the two in the hall.

"Huh what!…. No…. Shut up!" Mirage said as all optics turned to him, quickly turned invisible and hid in the corner he likes to sit in.

"Aw… Sideswipe leave him alone!" Prowl said as he was still cleaning the sticky substance off of himself.

"Yeah yeah what ever" Sideswipe waved Prowl off and stretched himself taking over the entire couch.

"Hey move over jackass!" Sunstreaker obnoxiously said as he sat on his brothers legs.

"Hey ow get off me fat ass!" Sidswipe yelped moving his legs up.

"Ha ha ha" Sunstreaker just laughed at his brother as he struggled.

"If you didn't have Bee rith now I'd beat the shi.." Sideswipe angrily said to his brother but was interrupted as both him and his brother got smacked by a wrench.

"Stop swearing you get off of him and you move over!" an irritated medic yelled at the idiotic twins.

"The twins quickly scooted over on the couch they moved so fast it mad Bumblebee motion sick.

"Da…" Bee limp and motion sick chirped out.

"Yes Bumblebee?" the prime smiled at the sparkling.

"me dizzy" Bumblebee whistled to his smiling father.

"Aw Bee come here" the prime laughed with the bots in the room and took the sparkling from the golden twin.

Bee squealed happily as his father took him in his arms, then a bot caught his attention and as it walked towards the door and waited.

"What you looking at Bee?" the prime asked wondering why his sparkling was staring at the door, as Arcee walked past them and gave a smile to Bee who wasn't paying attention.

"Has anyone seen Mirage?" Arcee asked the bots in the main room.

"Cee Mirwage Mirwage!" Bee buzzed as he pointed towards the door, as the red bot appeared.

"Oh… thank you Bee" Arcee smiled and walked towards the door and transformerd and drove of with the red Ferrari.

"Where are those two going?" Prowl asked raising an optic ridge.

"Dude he's going on a drive with her" Sunstreaker said with a tone like he was talking to an idiot.

"where?" Prowl asked as the Wheeljack and Jazz shook their heads and Bulkhead face palmed.

"Their on a date!…. Smartass.." Sideswipe yelled at Prowl.

"Hey watch your mouth you!" Prowl barked and Hound nodded in agreement.

"What ever… hey come on Sunny let's go bug Mirage and Arcee" Sideswipe said driving off as his twin followed.

"Boy's leave the…" Prowl started to shout.

"Oh leave them at least their out of the base" Ratchet waved Prowl off.

"Da Bee down?" Bee asked staring at Optimus.

"Uh it's almost time for your recharge how bout some energon?" The prime quickly made up an excuse.

Bee chirped and clapped happily hearing he was going to get fed, Prime smiled as Ratchet prepared his bottle for him.

"Aw look at him he must be hungry eh?" Jazz laughed at the chattering sparkling.

"Ha he sure is" Wheeljack agreed giving Bee a warm smile, as Bee continued to down the low grade.

"wow he's hungry" Hound said watching Bumblebee gulp down his energon.

"Yeah wow look at squeaky go" Bulkhead cheered.

"Well he's getting bigger so he's eating a lot more" Ratchet mentioned to the audience of bots.

"yeah that's true" Optimus agreed as he watched the sparkling finish the entire bottle this time.

Later in the base while Bee is asleep

"You guys are assholes!" Arcee shouted at the twins and stormed straight into her room she was followed by a clear silhouette.

"Ha ha you think she's pissed" the twins giggled.

"You guy's are a couple of assholes we told you to leave them be" Prowl scoffed at the twins.

"yeah we where only havin fun" Sideswipe whined.

"Don't whine now go away!" Ratchet snapped.

"Guess it's his time of the cycle…whoa!" Sideswipe said as he dodged a flying wrench.

"Ok we're going we're going!" The twins whimpered as they skated into their room.

The next morning

Optimus was relaxing on the couch with Wheeljack when he heard a small thump, Optimus perked up when he heard a small cry coming from his room, Optimus and Wheeljack hightailed it into his room and saw Bumblebee on his face on the ground.

"What were you doing!" The prime asked shocked as he scooped up the crying sparkling.

"Me wake up n uw no dare me know uw in woom wit watchet n me wanned to see uw so me cwawl of bird n go to uw but wegs no work!" the upset sparkling wailed.

"You think we should just tell him?" Wheeljack asked the leader that had a guilty look on

"Yes I think that would be best" Optimus said as he walked past his soldier and into the med bay.

"Yeah I mean if he understands" Wheeljack said as he followed the prime.

"What's wrong sparkling?" Ratchet cooed as he looked up at his leader.

"What something troubling you both" Ratchet asked seeing the look on the primes faceplates.

"We need to tell him why his legs aren't working very well" The prime said, Wheeljack nodded in agreement.

"He wont understand!… don't bother to tell him if he asks than tell him!" the medic snapped.

"Bumblebee your legs didn't work because you just woke from recharge so their tired to" Ratchet lied to the sparkling.

"There problem solved" Ratchet said as he turned back to his work.

"oooh…" Bee Buzzed uncertain that he believed the medic because he remembers when Arcee took him outside to see the twins his legs didn't work then either.

"Me and Mirage are going on patrol" Arcee told the crew as she walked past with the Ferrari.

"oh yeah sure" Wheeljack said sarcastically as he rolled his optics.

"I'm going to kick you where you will bee on your knees crying!" Arcee warned as she walked towards the door where two speeding stingrays came rushing in.

"what's with you two?" Mirage asked as the two transformed.

"we were bugging some cons at the mines and there he was one scary ass looking decepticon!" Sideswipe whimpered.

"what decepticon?" Optimus asked.

"Shockwave!" The twins yelped.

"Shockwave!…" Mirage growled.

"What! The decepticon assassin!" Prowl freaked.

"Yes the decepticon assassin….." Mirage growled.

"You have a history?" Arcee asked tugging on Mirage's servo.

"Yes…but that doesn't matter" Mirage growled unhappy to be asked the question.

"He's the strongest next to Megatron!" Ratchet also started to panic.

"I've heard terrible stories about Shockwave" Hound said with panic in his voice.

The room went silent as everybody tried to cope with the information they just got.

"Bee kick con butt!" Bee chirped throwing punches in the air.

"Ha ha not this one Bee" Sideswipe chuckled.

"well the decepticon have been quite so let's not try and feed the already growing fire and see how it goes" The prime finally spoke.

"Yeah maybe he's here on vacation" Jazz scoffed.

Later while everyone but Ratchet and a sparkling were out on patrol

Ratchet was relaxing on the couch with Bumblebee.

"Watchet?" Bee Buzzed the medics name.

"yes Bee?" Ratchet answered looking at the sparkling in his arms.

"why me legs no work?" Bee asked the medic with watery optics.

Ratchet sighed and prepared himself for his answer to the sparkling.

"You remember when you weren't feeling well?" Ratchet asked the tiny sparkling.

"uhuh" Bee nodded.

"Well….. You see what made you sick is now gone out f your body but it has left some damage to you…" Ratchet managed to get the words out.

"wat kinda dawmage watchet?" Bee tilted his head.

"damage as in you won't be able to walk and move properly and you wont develop properly meaning you will be shorter than Arcee" Ratchet explained to the sparkling that understood completely.

"so me not gonna wawk or be big?" Bee let out a watery buzzed and snuggled into ratchet stomach and letting tears drip down his faceplate.

"Yes sparkling…. I'm sorry…"Ratchet hugged the sparkling sympathetically.

"Hey we're back!" Wheeljack and Bulkhead yelled from the door.

"You guys are back early what happened?" the medic asked getting off the couch.

"Someone decided he didn't need energon he had enough fuel" Wheeljack rolled his optics as Sideswipe rolled in with the rest of the crew.

"Shut up" Sideswipe said rolling past them.

"forget what happened to us why's the sparkling crying Ratch?" Bulkhead asked concerned as Optimus followed him over to Ratchet.

"I told him" Ratchet said wiping the tears from Bumblebee's faceplate.

"Oh…I'm guessing he didn't take it very well" Wheeljack said watching the medic wipe the tears.

"No he took it well he just let some tears escape that's all" Ratchet said defending the sparkling.

"So besides this idiot not fuelling himself how did the patrol go?" Ratchet asked as he gave Sideswipe some energon.

"It went well still no info on the cons" Jazz spoke up.

"Yes but the less activity the more I worry" Prowl said in a worried tone.

"I agree friend I agree" Optimus said shaking his head.

15 years later

"Cee I can…"

"You can what?" Arcee poked Bee

"Ok I need your help up…" Bee buzzed unpleased he needed help he thought he'd finally be old enough to do things on his own but apparently he's stuck having help 24/7.

"Aw Bee don't be so down I'll leave you alone as soon as you get to your destination" Arcee smiled.

"uhuh…" Bee buzzed sadly as Arcee picked him up out of his berth and onto his wobbly legs.

"there see was that so hard?" Arcee smiled at the young mech.

"yessss…" Bee whined.

"oh I know but your going to be ok you'll see" Arcee said as she helped Bumblebee walk out into the main room.

"Good morning Bee" Ratchet cheerfully greeted.

Bee waved to him and threw himself on the couch.

"Arcee prime needs back up go I've got the bridge for you already" Ratchet said pointing to the bridge.

"Ok! You going to be ok Bee?" Arcee asked walking backwards towards the bridge.

"Oh yes he'll be fine I'm here" Ratchet reassured her and watched her nod her head and run threw the bridge.

"Allright it's just you and me kid" Ratchet said walking over to Bumblebee who had a sad gaze on his face as he watched the bridge disappear.

"yeah that's how it usually is" Bee buzzed and turned his gaze to the floor.

"what I'm no fun?" Ratchet said sarcastically.

"I should be out there in the field helping dad!" Bee whistled.

"No you shouldn't not at this age kid" Ratchet corrected the young mech.

"well I should be out having races and pulling pranks with the twins instead of always being stuck on my berth!" Bumblebee started to tear up he was getting to overly excited.

"Ok kid cool down I understand but you can't help it Bumblebee you have a disability"

"Yeah one to many disabilities I'm so useless I'm just an extra weight on you guys I'm just another thing that you guys have to worry about and tend to every minute of the day!" Bee bursted into tears.

"Bumblebee don't say that we don't think your useless your very strong and we care about you know matter how many disabilities you have!" Ratchet snapped.

"Ratchet I'm supposed to be out on the field and I'm supposed to be taller than Arcee not the height of a stop sign! I'm nothing My dads a prime and I'm just his useless berthridden son" Bee sadly buzzed watery buzzes, as prime walked through the bridge with his autobots.
