ATE: Sorry for the wait again. I finally got back from a Leadership Retreat for school. Funny thing was that on the first night there, I slepted on the top bunk and I fell off the bed and hit my head really hard (the ground was rock solid, no joke) and I took my sleeping bag and pillow with me. I'm surprised I don't have a huge bump on my head, but I still have a headache XD.

Declaimer: I don't own Transformers.

Chapter 10

(Bumblebee's POV)

I felt Erica relax as I held her in my holoform. Using my scanner I found that she had fallen into recharge. I couldn't help but smile.

I carefully placed her back into the passanger seat as I turned off my holoform. I could tell that it was late and I need to take Erica back to the base.

I started to drive back to the base with my charge.

--

I drove into the base and made my way to my room and entered. Using my holoform, I got the many bags of clothing and my charge out of my alt form and placed them on the ground before turning off my holoform and transformed to my real form.

I picked up Erica and the bags and placed them on top of the table inside my room. I then remembered that Erica needed something to recharge on so I went to the Med Bay.

When I got there I found Ratchet hovering over the body of our dead comrade, Jazz. The loss of Jazz was still heavy in our sparks, as if it had happened yesterday.

"Hey Ratchet." I said quietly but loud enough for him to hear me.

He looked up when he heard me.

"Oh, it's just you, Bumblebee." He said. He then looked back down at Jazz again.

"I know how you feel. I miss Jazz too. He was a really good friend." I said. "But that might change soon. He might be able to come back."

"You're still hopeful about that, aren't you? I do hope you realize what you ask won't have a big consequence to it. Especially with her."

When I heard this, I let my head hang. "What do you mean, Ratchet?"

"Oh don't play dumb, you idiot." He said. "I've seen how you look at her. You like her."

"I don't like her, I love her."

"I'm guessing that you didn't just come here to talk about Jazz, did you?"

"No…"

"Then what do you need?"

"Do you have anything that could be used as a bed for Erica?" I asked.

"Yes, I do." He said as he got out a mattress and a blanket and handed them to me. "Now get out!"

"How about a pillow?" I asked knowing that it would get on Ratchet's nerves.

"Grr…!" He growled. "GET OUT OF HERE YOU SLAGING GLITCH!!" He threw his wrench at me, but I dodged it before running away as I played a tune on my radio that went 'Brave Sir Robin ran away. Bravely, bravely ran away'. (AN: Couldn't resist!)

I came back to my room, closing the door behind me. I went over to the table, where Erica was still recharging. I picked her up carefully and placed her on the mattress which I then placed back on the table. This time Erica hat the blanket wrapped around her as she recharged on the mattress. I couldn't help but smile.

I made my way over to my recharge bed a laid down on it. I looked back at where Erica was before I went into recharge.

(Erica's POV)

I woke up to find myself in a dark room, sitting on a bed with a blanket wrapped around me. I didn't know what time it was or where I was and I didn't know how I got here in the first place. I didn't know where my Guardian was at all!

"Bee?" I called. "Bee?"

I didn't hear anything at all. I got off the bed and when my feet touched the ground I flinched, but I still stood up. I carefully walked around, but when I took my sixth step I slipped and was suddenly falling as I screamed!

Before I knew it, I landed on something hard, moaning in pain form the impact. I suddenly felt whatever I landed on start to move and shut my eyes in fear. I then felt the movement stop.

"It's okay Erica. Open your eyes." I heard.

I opened my eyes and saw 2 glowing blue lights and realized that it was Bumblebee."

"Bumblebee!" I wrapped my arms around his thumb (that I managed to find).

"Are you okay?" He asked.

I nodded, still shaking form the fact that I was very close to dying just a while ago. I felt Bumblebee rub his finger on my back in order to calm me down.

"There goes the idea of you sleeping on a bed on the table." He said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I got the bed and blanket from Ratchet and placed you and said bed on the table. It seems that it wasn't a very good idea to have it on the table."

With me still in his hand, Bumblebee went over to his bed and laid flat on his back. I blushed when he placed me on his chest or chest plate, but relaxed when I felt warmth emit from where I laid.

"There. Now we won't have to worry about you falling off."

"What is this warmth I feel?" I asked.

"Warmth?" He asked.

"Yes."

"Oh, that. It's my Spark that you feel."

"So that's your Spark." I said. I spread my arms as if to hug him. "Good night Bee."

"Good night, Erica."

ATE: Now that that's finished, I believe you wouldn't mind reviewing my story. R&R Please :)
