A/N: In the last chapter, Cade, Margo, Edith, and Agnes have fled to Yucaipa in order to gain shelter from the Decepticons. And Hattie was taken prisoner by Stinger. What will become of her? Read to find out. Enjoy!

Cade drove Bumblebee to Yucaipa Regional Park, which served as a campsite, as well as a water park due to the huge lake. It was still in the middle of the summer, so of course lots of people would be there. Margo, Edith, and Agnes looked out the window to see the giant lake as well as the large water slides, and inflatable obstacle courses that floated in the center of the lake.

"Wow, those look so much fun" Agnes said.

"I know. Cade, can we go play in the water?" Margo asked.

"Well, that depends. Do you have any swimsuits?" Cade asked.

"Yeah, we have them in our bags" Margo said.

"But we left those back at Cade's... house" Edith said.

"Aw, man!" Agnes pouted crossing her arms.

"It's alright. I know a few good department stores around here, so I can buy us some swimsuits, new clothes, and maybe some food too" Cade said as he turned right.

"Awesome! We're gonna go swimming!" Edith cheered. Cade then spotted a large campsite that was a circular shaped ring that was empty and a picnic table was in the center.

"Bee, let's stop at this one" Cade said. Bumblebee then stopped at a large tree at the site and the other Autobots parked in a circle around the picnic table.

"It's a very beautiful place here" Margo said as she got out the Camaro. Agnes stretched her arms out and looked around.

"Pretty, I hope unicorns live in these woods" Agnes said. Cade let out a slight giggle at Agnes' comment. Edith got out the car and ran towards the outhouse that was near the lake.

"Edith, where are you going?" Cade called out.

"I gotta pee!" Edith called back before locking herself inside the outhouse to have her privacy to do her business. The Autobots then transformed back into their robot forms and Optimus spoke.

"It's quaint, but it'll have to do" Optimus said sitting down with his legs crossed.

"How long do you think we'll have to stay here?" Margo asked.

"Until we think it's time we stayed too long, or if the Decepticons launch a surprise attack on us" Optimus said.

"I'll need to borrow one of you guys to go get a few things" Cade said.

"I gotcha covered" Crosshairs said before transforming back into his green corvette stingray form and opening the driver's seat up himself.

"Glad to know" Cade said before walking over to the drivers seat.

"Okay, Margo. Optimus and the others are gonna watch over you while I get a few things. Try not to run away so far, the Decepticons might have followed us without us even knowing" Cade said.

"Alright, got it" Margo said nodding. Cade then got into the car and drove it out of the campsite and into town.

Back with Galvatron, he stood tall on top of a mountain that had a beautiful view of the lake and it showed the campsite where the Autobots were taking shelter at. On the mountain was him, Lock-Down, and Breakdown. As well as that statue of Unicron was brought with them from the junkyard.

"Just look at them, playing with those weakling children" Galvatron growled clenching his fists.

"If the Autobots do not suspect we tracked them here, we can launch an attack tomorrow morning" Lock-Down said approaching Galvatron.

"Good, then we can take the ring and my master's revenge will soon be complete" Galvatron said. They looked up to see Cyclonus in his Nighthawk form and then transform into his robot mode in mid-air and landed doing a back-flip.

"Lord Galvatron, Stinger is on his way now. And he brings with him, a prisoner" Cyclonus said bowing to Galvatron.

"Very well. But tell Stinger to keep her alive, this prisoner might be an asset to us" Galvatron said looking back down to the campsite.

Back in said campsite, Margo, Edith, and Agnes were sitting around the campsite bored while the other Autobots were sitting around in the grass bored as well. Optimus however was staring down at the lake which their campsite was standing above over a hill.

"What is Optimus even staring at?" Agnes asked.

"I dunno. But let's do our best not to disturb his concentration" Margo said as she picked up a rock and tossed it up and down in her palm.

"Why is it you have so much respect for Optimus?" Edith asked curiously.

"Maybe it's because he's the most understanding being I've ever met. He listens to me and gives me guidance whenever I feel lost. It's something Miss Hattie never did back before we escaped, and it feels so good" Margo asked staring at Optimus with a smile.

"What does it feel like?" Edith asked.

"Like I'm being loved and understood" Margo said. She then turned to Edith.

"I'm sure that's how you feel about Bumblebee" Margo asked.

"But Bumblebee can barely speak" Edith said getting up from the picnic bench.

"I know, but you've grown pretty close. Like on the way here you were playing 'Guess that Song' with Bumblebee" Margo explained. 'Guess that Song' was when the radio played a random tune and the other had to guess who sang it and what the name of the song was.

"Yeah, and you're the only one out of the three of us who listen to rap, so you won that game" Agnes said. Bumblebee changed the pop-music station, which was considered an easy level to the rap station which was considered difficult. Edith let out a soft giggle.

"Yeah, that's true" Edith said looking to Bumblebee who was scraping mud off his foot like it was dog poop stuck to a shoe.

"Why do you like hanging around him so much?" Margo asked.

"Because he's like a big brother. That's what I always wanted before I was abandoned. I just wanted to know how it felt to be teased playfully, get brotherly noogies, video-game matches, all that kinda stuff. I think that's the case with Bumblebee" Edith said.

"I can see why. He's funny, playful, and he cheered me up back in that impound lot before the Decepticons attacked us" Edith said. Edith never told anyone this, but secretly, she didn't want Bumblebee to leave her. She wanted him to stay with her, he was her best friend, her brother.

Margo walked up next to Optimus with that rock still in her hand. She tried to skip it but it only made a large splash and she winced at it and prepared for Optimus to yell at her for interrupting his thinking time.

"That stone wasn't flat enough" Optimus said. Margo then looked up.

"What?" she asked the blue and red robot.

"You need a flat stone to skip it across the lake" Optimus said before bending down and picking up a small flat and smooth dark gray stone that was near the shore in between his thumb and index finger.

"Try this one" Optimus said before gently dropping the stone in Margo's palm. Margo was kinda happy that Optimus wasn't so harsh like Miss Hattie whenever she did something loud by accident and Hattie just yelled at her and locked her in her room for the whole day.

"Um, alright" before Margo could toss the stone, Optimus spoke up.

"You're too high above the lake to skip that, it would just sink the minute you threw it. Go down lower to the shore" Optimus said. Margo then did as Optimus advised and slid down the grassy hill and then got back up on her feet and got close to the water. She then flicked her wrist and tossed the stone into the water.

"Woah" Margo said wide eyed as she saw the stone skip five times before sinking to the bottom. Optimus' advice was helpful, he had helped her skip a stone properly.

"A nice toss, Margo" Optimus said after observing Margo's perfect skip. Margo then looked back up.

"Thank you" Margo kindly said to Optimus' reply.

Meanwhile, Edith got an idea.

"Hey, Bee!" Edith called up to Bumblebee while she walked up to him. Bumblebee then acknowledged the call and stood up.

"It's too quiet here. How about we have a little fun, huh?" Edith asked with her arms crossed.

"I gotta feelin' (static) we gonna party" Bumblebee replied with two separate audio recordings on his radio.

"Oh yeah, we gonna party alright" Edith said holding out her fist. Bumblebee bumped it gently and they made an explosion noise as they made their hands make a 'Blow up' motion.

"Alright, Bee, music" Edith said. Bumblebee then bumped his chest with his fist and a techno dance song called 'Happy Call' by 'Thrust' was playing when the radio inside Bumblebee's chest started playing as well as his headlights turned on as well.

"Woohoo!" Edith shouted and started dancing. Agnes started dancing too with her stuffed unicorn still being held tightly in her left hand. The other Autobots began dancing too and Optimus and Margo looked behind them to see the little dance party that was going on.

"Go on, have fun" Optimus said. Margo then ran to the others and began dancing with the others.

A/N: There you have it, hopefully this chapter was satisfying since Margo spent some time with Optimus and Edith explained how she looked up to Bumblebee like a brother. More to come in the next update. Please review, thanks!
