Barricade turned on his sirens while he escorted the small convoy through a traffic jam. Barricade thought it was weird that he was an Autobot now but still had to break human law but Wasp insisted saying they do not have time to wait for the traffic jam to ease. Earth's Omega Gate was almost three days away.

Sari and Bumblebee did not share Wasp's feeling to rush. Together they formed a plan. Sari was tired of being stuck in a car and they were approaching a county fair. Wheelie was in on their plan.

"Hey Wasp!" said Wheelie through his com link. "Allspark girl needs to get out."

"What do you mean get out?" asked Wasp.

"We're in a tight schedule." growled Barricade.

"Hey wait a minute guys!" said Skids.

"I heard if humans stay cooped up for a long time they loose their processors." said Mudflap.

"Then what happens?" asked Skids.

"I don't know." said Mudflap. "Maybe their heads explode or something."

"Is that true?" asked Barricade.

"Uuuh Yes it is." said Bumblebee.

"I don't believe that for a minute." said Wasp.

"I've been on Earth longer than you bro." said Bumblebee. "We gotta let her move around and enjoy herself or I'll be scraping brains off of my interior for weeks."

"Well…" said Wasp.

"You agree lets go" said Bumblebee quickly as he whirled into a turn.

Inside NEST Headquarters was a dump. Soon as the Dinobots discovered their robot modes they want on a rampage in their excitement.

"Me Grimlock sorry." whimpered the Tyrannosaurus. "Dinobots not mean to destroy."

"I understand Grimlock." said Optimus helping him pick up some rubble. "You Dinobots have simple processors barely at the level of a human child and have strength and power that rivals Megatron's. It cannot be easy controlling it."

Ironhide angrily tossed a busted cannon away. "We should have Wheeljack deactivate you Dinoclutz." he yelled.

"Please." said Wheeljack. "Wheeljack's my Cybertronian name. Please call me by my Earth name, Que."

"I told you that name's stupid." said Ironhide. "There's nothing wrong with Wheeljack."

"I agree." said Mirage suddenly appearing behind him. "Just because I have the Earth name of Dino doesn't mean I'm going to call myself that. Besides, who would want to share part of a name with them?"

Snarl growled along with Sludge.

"Optimus." said Ratchet through his com link.

"What is it Ratchet?" asked Optimus.

"Its Sumdac. He's awake." said Ratchet.

Optimus left Ironhide to watch the Dinobots and proceeded to the med bay. Sumdac laid in his bed weakly lifting food into his mouth.

Optimus walked in. "I am glad to see you awake Mister Sumdac." said Optimus. Then his mood suddenly changed.

"We were not told everything Mister Sumdac. You lied to us. You've made a grave mistake."

Bumblebee watched from the parking lot as Sari sat down on the ferries wheel. She sat next to a skinny teen with oily red hair. He stared at her. Bumblebee didn't like that.

"That kid's thinking about something." said Bumblebee to Wasp. "Keep an optic on him."

"Are you sure your not just jealous that someone else is drooling over Red-head?" asked Wheelie.

"What is he talking about?" asked Wasp sternly.

"I have no idea." said Bumblebee.

"Yeah right." said Wheelie. "I saw you two looking at the stars when you were supposed to be hurrying up."

"So that's why you took so long." said Wasp angrily. "Bumblebee this is a mission and should be treated as such. This isn't the time to make friends."

"I don't see why I can't do both." said Bumblebee. "She's ready to go. I'll go get her." Bumblebee began t drive towards her. As he passed Barricade and the Twins he heard them joining together to tease him. Before he exited the lot he ejected Wheelie from his cab.

"That's for not keeping your mouth shut." growled Bumblebee.

Bumblebee stopped in front of the main gate. Sari started walking towards him when the boy stepped in her way.

"Nice car." he said.

"Thanks." said Sari blushing.

"Is there room for two?" he asked.

Bumblebee's mirror adjusted so he could see the kid.

"Uh no." said Sari, her blush disappearing.

"Then maybe we can just meet up somewhere." said the kid. "There's a great place behind the bleachers."

Sari mumbled some fowl words before slapping the boy. That made him angry.

"So your one of those girls are you?" he said with a smirk.

"Hey Vince!" shouted an Asian girl as she exited the gate. "Why don't you just go back to your precious cars and leave her alone?"

"Shut up Miko." yelled Vince. Suddenly he grabbed Sari's arm.

"Come on!" he growled.

Bumblebee's engine roared in fury. He did the quickest transformation he had ever done and activated his heavy cannon. He pointed it close range to Vince's face.

"STAY AWAY FROM HER!" he shouted in fury.

Vince screamed and let go.

"IF YOU TOUCH ONE HAIR ON HER HEAD I'LL BLAST YOU TO MOON BASE TWO!"

Vince screamed again and started running. Miko on the other hand just stared excitedly. Bumblebee still had his cannon out when a green SWAT vehicle sped towards him. Much to Bumblebee's surprise it transformed.

"Stay away from Miko you Con!" yelled the robot as it transformed its hand into a wrecking ball. The next thing Bumblebee knew his chest was hit and he was tossed into the air. He landed on the other side of the gate. The large green bot stepped over it. He charged towards the downed Autobot then suddenly stopped.

"Bumblebee? Is that you?" it asked.

Bumblebee picked himself up and nodded.

"Sweet Primus it is you!" the bot cheered. He transformed his arm back and helped Bumblebee up.

"Sorry about that. It's me Bulkhead from boot camp. Remember? We played that prank on Wasp." said Bulkhead.

"Bulkhead!" laughed Bumblebee. "I see you've been working on that punch of yours. What was that for?"

"Sorry. I thought you were trying to hurt Miko." said Bulkhead.

"No but I was threatening that Vince guy." said Bumblebee. "He was trying to hurt Sari."

Miko and Sari rushed in squeezing through the frightened crowd.

"That was so AWESOME!" cheered Miko.

"What an amazing punch." said Sari. "But I bet if Bumblebee was ready he could of beaten you."

"What? Bulkhead could beat your car any day." said Miko turning to face Sari.

"You wanna bet on that?" growled Sari.

"Easy there." said Bumblebee. "Sari, we don't have time to…"

Just then Bumblebee saw a familiar sight.

Swindle was approaching with SUV inside him and a red sports car behind him.

"Wasp. SUV's back.." he said through his com link. "I'll call you if we need back up."

Bumblebee turned to Bulkhead. "Whoever beats those guys the best wins."

"Deal." said Bulkhead excitedly as he transformed his weapons.
