"All right. Walking's healthy, right?" Sam asked as he walked Mikaela walk away from him. He then scrambled inside of Bumblebee to try the key again. "Oh, gosh, no, no, no, no, no, no. Come on, please. Please, you gotta work for me now. Don't let her walk away. Come on, come on, come on. Please, please."

"Okay," Bumblebee replied softly. When Sam tried once room, the engine roared to life.

"...Baby come back any fool could see..."

"Hey!" Sam yelled.

"...There was something in everything about you. Baby come back you can blame it all on me..."

"Hey! Wait a second!"

"...I was wrong and I can't live without you..."

"There it is," Sam said as they came to a stop outside Mikaela's house. It was dark before they arrived.

"I had fun. So, you know, thanks for listening."

"Oh, yeah, yeah."

"You... You think I'm shallow?"

"I think you're... No, no, no. I think there's a lot more than meets the eye with you," Sam responded.

"Okay."

"Yeah."

"All right, I'll see you at school," Mikaela said. She got out of the car and headed inside. Sam groaned slightly.

"Stupid. That was a stupid line. 'There's more than meets the eye with you.' Stupid. Oh gosh. Oh my gosh, I love my car," Sam whispered.

"Thanks," Bumblebee responded so softly Sam didn't hear him.

Later that night, Bumblebee decided that since Sam and his parents were asleep that he should try to contact Ironhide and the others. He started his engine without noticing that the sound had dragged Sam out of dreamland. Bumblebee started to drive, and Sam followed on his bike after him. "Where are you going with my car, buddy? Where you going?" Sam asked.

"Contacting the others," Bumblebee replied. Sam looked suprised for a moment, but continued to follow.

"Hello? 911 emergancy! My car has been stolen! I'm in pursuit! Right? I need all units, the whole squadron. Bring everyone! No, don't ask me questions, all right? My father's the head of the neighborhood watch!" Sam shouted on the phone. Bumblebee drove up to the scrap yard before driving through the gates that opened to allow him through. Bumblebee transformed to send out his message, and Sam caught sight of him. Bumblebee shone a beam of light into the night sky to alert the other Autobots.

After watching that for a few seconds, Sam flipped out his phone again to record a message. "My name is Sam Witwicky. Whoever finds this, my car is alive, okay? You saw that? Since this is my last words on Earth, I just wanna say, Mom, Dad, I love you, and if you find Busty Beauties under my bed, it wasn't mine. I'm holding it for Miles. No, no, wait that... Okay, that's not true. It's mine and Uncle Charles gave it to me. I'm sorry. Mojo, I love you." He snapped the phone shut and stood and looked around. The dogs saw him and began to chase him. The chains were ripped from the wall from how hard the dogs pulled on them. Sam scrambled over a pile of bricks, and fell into wood shavings. He stumbled as he got back up and started running. "No, you're a good dog! Good dog! Good dog! Oh my gosh!" He climbed up onto a pile of junk that he hoped with all his heart that it would be high enough to keep him safe until some one found them. "Whoa! Hey, hey, hey! All right! Oh! No! No!" Bumblebee broke through the old wood planks that were in his way. "Okay. Please, please don't kill me! I'm sorry! Take the keys! I don't want them! Car's yours!" He threw the keys at Bumblebee and ran. Outside, the police had driven up and stopped in front of Sam. "Good, you're here."

"Let me see your hands!" One shouted.

"No, no, no! It's not me!"

"Let me see your hands."

"The guy's inside."

"Shut up! Walk towards the car," one officer ordered. "Put your head on the hood."

In the morning, after the officer had spoken with both Sam and his father, the teen had been released. Bumblebee had stayed away from the house just in case for the rest of the day, but had gone back the following morning. This, of course, caused Sam to freak out. Sam ran outside with a pink bike with streamers. Bumblebee drove after him. Most of the time Sam was shouting his favorite word. No. At one point, Sam wasn't paying attention to what he was doing, so he caught the sidewalk wrong and flipped over the handle bars. He landed on his back right near where Mikaela was sitting with several other girls. "Sam?"

"Hi," he responded after he finished groaning.

"That was... That was really awesome," she said.

"Well, it felt awesome."

"Are you okay?"

"I'm not okay, all right? I'm losing my mind a little bit. I'm getting chased by my car right now. I got to go," Sam replied. He picked the bike up and got ready to ride it again.

"You know what? I'm gonna catch up with you guys later," Mikaela said. Sam got on his bike and pedalled away. Bumblebee followed. Mikaela watched as a police car stopped her from riding after Sam on her electric scooter. The police car followed after Bumblebee and Sam, so once it was clear, she did too. Sam rode into a parking complex that looked run down. He knew his car wasn't far from him, and he could feel his heart beating hard in his chest to the point where it felt like it wanted to burst from his chest. He stopped, and the police car pulled to a stop as well.

"Oh, great. Cops," Sam said. "Officer!" He rode up to the car. "Listen!" The door swung open and knocked Sam off the bike. Again. He landed on his face with a groan. "Oh, that hurt." He slowly rolled to rest on his back. He got to his feet and started to talk to the officer he thought was inside by laying against the hood. "Listen to me! Thank God you're here! I've had the worst day ever! I've been... I've been followed here on my mother's bike! Right? And my car's right there and it's been following me here! So get out of the car!" He was knocked off his feet when the police car suddenly lurched forward. He scrambled backwards as the car continued to stop and start forwards in little jerking revs. "No! Stop! Oh, gosh! Okay, okay! Okay, all right! Okay! I'm sorry! I'm... I didn't mean to hit your car! Look! Okay, look, look, look! Stop, stop!"

One of the headlights changed form. It seperated itself from the main car, and moved forward and was connected still to the car by sharp cutting tines or prongs. It rotated as it approached Sam's face. The second did the same, but not at Sam. Just forwards. The other part of the light raised above it, and was far less menacing. "Please! Okay, what do you want from me?" The lights retracted at his words to return to where they should be. "Okay." The air seemed to freeze for a moment, when just as suddenly the car itself broke apart in a terrifying display of moving parts. Sam's eyes went wide and he was too afraid to try to move. "Oh gosh, no, no!" He yelled as he got to his feet as quickly as possible, and ran as fast as his feet could carry him. "Oh, man! Oh, man, man, man! Oh, gosh! Oh, man!" The car turned robot easily caught up in just a few of his gigantic strides. He swung his arm and Sam was sent flying into one of the cars and cracked the windshield as he landed against it. "It's a bad dream." The robot grabbed onto either wheel of the car and leaned in close to Sam's face. He slammed a hand down beside Sam.

"Are you username Ladiesman217?" He demanded. He pointed his gun at Sam.

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Are you username Ladiesman217?"

"Yeah."

"Where is ebay item 21153? Where are the glasses?" His voice was starting to raise. He spun the wheels on his arms, and Sam choose that moment to flee. He got up and started to run. Just as he cleared the car, the robot flipped it away. He ran after Sam.

Sam caught sight of Mikaela and yelled, "Get back!" He ran towards Mikaela. "Stop!" Mikaela turned the handles in Sam's direction. Sam tackled her, making her fall on her back.

"Gosh! What is your problem, Sam?" She demanded as she rolled over to get up.

"Okay, there's a monster right there! It just attacked me! Here he comes! All right, get up. Get up and run! You have to run! Okay," Sam ordered. Bumblebee drove up and swerved near them right into Barricade. He completed the circle and came to a stop in front of Sam and Mikaela. He chose to remain silent to avoid scaring the two.

"Sam, what is that thing?" Mikaela asked.

"You have to get in the car. Get in," Sam replied.

"I don't want to."

"Get in the car. Trust me. Trust me!"

"Sam!"

"Get in! Go, go, go, go, go," Sam sad as he got in to sit in the driver's seat. As soon as Mikaela was in, the car started to drive. Bumblebee saw in his rear view mirror that Barricade had transformed and was chasing after them. Sam shouted go as Bumblebee got onto the road with Barricade hot on his tailpipe. Bumblebee tried to ignore their yelling as he crashed through the windows of a closed down building. He drove through several different obstacles in his path. It was dark by the time he even lost Barricade for a moment. He instantly locked his doors. "We're locked in," Sam mumbled. They were both breathing heavily. "The car won't start. At least we ditched the monster, right?" Barricade stopped basically in front of them. Bumblebee started his engine, and drove past Barricade. He swerved again, and opened his door. He threw the two from him as he readied himself for the coming battle. He transformed and raised his fists.

Barricade drove up and tranformed. He lept into a spin overhead and tackled Bumblebee to the ground. Once Barricade was upright again, he ejected Frenzy so the minicon could focus on the humans. Barricade swung his mace like weapon and connected with Bumblebee's side sending the yellow bot flying. A kick sent Bumblebee crashing into another building. He rolled to his pedes and grabbed onto Barricade's arm and slammed him into a small building. This created another cascade of sparks. Barricade refused to go down alone, and so they went tumbling down a small hill grappling. He finished his brief battle with Barricade, while Sam and Mikaela dealt with Frenzy. Bumblebee walked back towards where Sam and Mikaela were.

"What is it?" Mikaela asked.

"It's a robot," Sam replied with the obvious. "But like a... Like a different... You know, like a super-advanced robot. It's probably Japanese. Yeah, it's definiatly Japanese.

"What are you doing?"

"I don't think it wants to hurt us. It would have done that already."

"Really? Well, do you speak robot?" Mikaela asked. "Because they just had, like, a giant droid death match."

"I think it wants something from me."

"What?"

"Well, 'cause the other one was talking about my ebay page."

"You are the strangest boy I have ever met."

"Can you talk?" Sam yelled up to Bumblebee.

"Yes," he replied.

"So, what was that last night? What was that?"

"A message to my comrads. To bring them here to Earth."

"What are you, like, an alien or something?" Mikaela asked. Bumblebee nodded. He transformed and opened the door.

"Do you have anymore questions you want to ask me?" The two had a small talk before Mikaela got in followed by Sam. Bumblebee drove over to where Mikaela's bag had been dropped, and she quickly snatched everything and got back in.

"Who are you?" Sam asked after a long pause.

"My name's Bumblebee. My friends'll be able to tell you more, but I'm an Autobot from the planet Cybertron. We are searching for the source of life of our home planet called the Allspark. It was blasted from our world to keep it away from the Decepticons. The other robot you saw me fighting was called Barricade, and he is a Decepticon. We have been at war for as long as I can remember," Bumblebee replied. The humans both seemed to pause to try and absorb what they were being told. They started their own conversation which Bumblebee simply listened to. The came the comment that ticked him off slightly.

"You know what I don't understand? Why, if he's supposed to be, like, this super-advanced robot, does he transform back into this piece-of-crap camaro?" Mikaela asked. Bumblebee 'fish-tailed' to a stop and opened his door.

"Oh, see? No. Get... No, that doesn't work. See?" Sam responded.

"Move it, you moron!" A man in one of the cars that were blocked yelled.

"Great, now... See? Fantastic. Now you made him mad. That car is sensitive. I mean, $4000 just drove off," Sam complained. Bumblebee drove back up after having scanned a newer camaro. "Wow," was the only thing that Sam could say. They drove off towards where Bumblebee knew his friends would be landing.
