Surfer Soundwave

It was a hot day on Cybertron and over at the Iacon beach, Soundwave, Starscream, Bumblebee, Optimus and Shockwave were enjoying the day. This was Soundwave's first time, after a few years, to surf. He looked at his old surf board, it was the only one he owned.

"Man I hope this works!" Soundwave looking at the waves that rose and fell.

"Hey Soundwave, think you're still up for it?" Bumblebee asked coming up to him with his own.

"I hope so!" Soundwave said a little concerned.

"I'm sure you'll do great, you were an awesome surfer many years ago, why did you quit?" Bee asked.

"Eh, it just wasn't in me anymore!" Soundwave said.

"Don't worry, you should do fine, just stayed focused." Bee said, then he looked surprised.

"What?"

"3...2...1!"

"Soundwave are you honestly trying to surf?" Starscream asked coming over.

"Yeah, at least try again!" Soundwave said.

"Again?"

"Yeah, I've surfed before!" Soundwave said.

"And the tale starts in 3...2...1..." Bee counted down.

"Tell me about a time!" Starscream smirked.

"Fine, but let's talk why we surf!" Soundwave said.

"Okay!"

Once on the water, Soundwave began his tale!

Some point in the past...

At the same beach, a young Soundwave was teaching a younger Bumblebee how to surf. Bumblebee was catching on quickly. Of course they both had their own signiture moves. Soundwave went up one wave and threw his surfboard high in the air while he back flipped back down to the water letting his tentacles fly freely. The board came down just in time for him to get back on and find another wave. Bumblebee went up one and had enough time to jump off his board and spin it on one digit before getting back on. A young Optimus, Megatron and Shockwave watched from the beach amazed.

"Nice job dude!" Soundwave said.

"Ah thanks man! Sometimes I just do things I don't even plan on doing!" Bee said as he got ready to go up another wave.

"Hey, ready to try out the team move again?" Soundwave asked.

"I guess I can try!" Bee said.

As they both went up at the same time, they jumped up from their boards and found themselves very high in the air. Once they got close enough they high foured (well they do only have four fingers) and as their digits wrapped, they spun each other around and unwrapped their finger and they flipped to the opposite boards. They were still in the air giving them enough time for Bumblebee to lunge at Soundave, hop onto his shoulders, and land on his own board, kicking Soundwave over to his own board in the process just in time as they landed back on the water. Optimus, Megatron and Shockwave cheered.

"Wow, I actually did it! It was worth how long it took to master it!" Bee said.

"I know, if there was a competition we won have scored big for that!" Soundwave said as they rode back to the sand.

"Nice work!" Optimus said.

"Eh, it was okay!" Megatron said.

"Where have you seen better?" Shockwave said.

"Uh...yeah nevermind!"

Cuts to present...

"I still remember the move by spark, sure it sounds hard but when you actually do it, it seems easy!" Bee said as he got ready to perform another trick.

"Seriously what is happening to me at that time?" Starscream asked.

"Don't you remember us saving your aft after this tube coming nearly drowned you?" Soundwave asked as the three entered a huge tube of water.

"Whoa, I haven't been in one of these in a long time!" Bee said watching as the water circled them.

Back to past...

"Hey guys, look at that tube coming, you're going to miss it!" Optimus said pointing towards the water.

"Yeah, and Starscream is near it!" Bee said in alarm.

Starscream is seen flying around in his jet mode and was not paying attention to the huge wave heading straight for him. Once he did it was too late. The wave hit Starscream with a force strong enough to snap off his left wing and send him plummeting into the water. The wave covered him completely and there were no sign of resurfing. The others watch in horror.

"STARSCREAM! DON'T WORRY I'LL SAVE YA!" Bee said and went for the water.

"Wait for me!" Soundwave said joining him.

Starscream meanwhile, was fighting to stay above the water, he was accidently pulled out too far because of a strong current. He yelled for help hoping Primus wouldn't send him to be one with the allspark already! Unfortunately he ran out of energy and the last thing seen was his one of his long clawed servos before it sunk too. But just a second later, he was pulled up to the surface by Bee and Soundwave and rushed quickly to the shore. A lot of other mechs and femmes came to see Starscream and noticed he was missing a wing. Megatron punched Starscream in the stomach forcing a bunch of water to shoot out of Starscream's mouth. Starscream coughed and wheezed as he onlined his optics. They were dim from lack of energon.

"Starscream you alright?" Bumblebee asked.

"I *cough* think so *cough* *cough*! I'm not with the allspark yet am I?" Starscream asked.

"No, not for more than a million years." Soundwave assured.

Starscream tried to sit up, only to realize he was off balance. He looked and noticed a wing was missing. He gasped. Just then, the wing floated to shore where Optimus picked it up.

"Your wing came back!" Optimus said.

"Thanks!" Starscream said. "And I'm sorry for being too far out!"

"No need to be sorry, it wasn't your fault!" Bee assured.

"I'll call Ratchet!" Shockwave suggested.

"No need , I'm already here!" Ratchet said coming out of the crowd.

Ratchet transformed and Soundwave and Bee helped Starscream inside. Once he was gone, Bee spoke.

"Planning on teaching him how to surf?" Bee asked.

"If he wants!" Soundwave said.

Back to present...

"Trust me Starscream, you're missing out!" Soundwave said as he performed a trick.

"I don't think I am!" Starscream said as he swam away from the incoming wave.

"You're not scared a waves are you? Bee asked.

"What? No!" Starscream lied. "Anyways, that did not happen!"

"You're telling us you don't remember that little line on your left wing where it snapped off?" Bee asked.

Starscream raised an optic-ridge and looked closely at his wing, it did in fact have a line going all around it from where it was repaired.

"Oh! Well, I guess I was wrong!" Starscream sighed.

"As always!" Bee said.

"You're keeping track of this aren't you?"
