"That is enough for today Sam…" Optimus said smiling a little. Sam growled at himself. They had spent hours trying to get Sam relaxed enough to move on to the next step, with no result. He sighed and went to his room and laid on the bed with tears in his eyes. He soon fell asleep.


"Try again" Optimus muttered.

"I have been trying for the past three hours" Sam suddenly yelled. Optimus looked at him surprised. "M-maybe I just can't do it!" Sam shouted, making the others stay quiet.

Optimus walked over to him and shook his head in disgrace.

"Your are such a disappointment. I should have just left you in that ditch" Optimus said and Sam looked at him hurt and angry. He felt tears sting his face as Optimus walked away. Sam sniffled and ran to his room and threw open the door and froze at what he saw. Ben was with Smokey…in his bed.

"Mmm Smokey…you are so much better than Sam" Ben moaned out, Sam felt more tears sting his face. Ben looked over and smiled at Sam.

"Oh hey Sam.. I think we need to break up" Ben said and moaned Smokey's name again. Smokey looked over and chuckled.

"Yeah…you guys are over…sorry" Smokey chuckled. Sam ran out of the room, and then out of the base. He ran straight into a form, he looked up to see his fake uncle with a the riffle.

"Hello Boy…" He growled and fired a shot.


Sam screamed and suddenly awoke, jumping out of his bed back at base.

"SAM SAM ITS OKAY!" Said a voice and Sam looked up to see Optimus holding him, Sam looked at him and started to cry. Optimus held him to his chest and rubbed his back. "Sh…sh…its okay…its alright" Optimus whispered and kept rubbing his back.

"D-dad?" Sam asked and Optimus looked at him.

"Yes my son?" Optimus asked

"I am sorry that I disappoint you" Sam muttered and Optimus looked at him completely blown away from the statement.

"Samuel…look at me…look at me" Optimus said and Sam looked up. "You will never, never ever be a disappointment to me or anyone. You are our family, you are my son. You will always be loved and cared for and no one will change that" Optimus said and Sam sniffled and held onto Optimus and cried a little.

"Is everything okay?" Said a sweet voice. Sam looked over to see Ben standing there. Once Ben saw Sam he ran over and held him along with Optimus.

"I had a nightmare Ben" Sam muttered as he let go of Optimus and hug Ben, Ben hugged back tighter.

"Well its okay now…I have you" Ben muttered and Optimus smiled and left the room. After a few minutes Sam looked at Ben, who smiled at him and stroked his hair.

"Ben?" Sam asked.

"Yes my love?" Ben said gently.

"Do you really love me?" Sam asked and Ben looked at him confused.

"Of course I do" Ben said and Sam sniffled.

"Am I good enough for you?" Sam asked and Ben raised a eyebrow.

"What do you mean?" Ben asked and Sam sniffled and rubbed his eyes.

"I mean…am I good enough for you…or do you want someone better…like Smokey?" Sam asked and Ben looked at Sam like he was crazy.

"Smokey?…really Smokey? Have you met him? No Sam…I want you and no one else" Ben said and kissed Sam. Sam kissed back and broke the kiss. "Now you need sleep…remember your training continues tomorrow" Ben said and Sam nodded.

"Ben?" Sam asked as Ben got up to leave.

"Yeah?" Ben asked and smiled.

"Would you mind staying here with me tonight?" Sam asked and Ben smiled and climbed in Sam's bed and held him as he fell asleep.


Sam was awoke by a banging on the door. He groaned and got up and opened it. Ben was standing there smiling, he was holding a plate or breakfast.

"Good morning Sam…" Ben said and Sam smiled at him.

"Morning…what is this?" Sam asked looking at the plate.

"Your breakfast…you need to eat for training remember?" Ben asked and Sam nodded and took the plate of food and began eating.

"This is good" Sam muttered with his mouth full and Ben smiled brightly.

"I am glad you think so…I made it" Ben said and Sam smiled.

"Wow…you are sweet, funny and can cook. I hit the jackpot" Sam chuckled and Ben giggled. Sam finished his breakfast and got up.

"Okay now get dressed and come to the training room" Ben said.


Sam arrived in the training room to find like the day before, Optimus, Ben and Jack.

"Good morning kid" Jack greeted Sam. Sam nodded and looked over at Optimus.

"Morning dad" Sam said and Optimus smiled.

"Good morning Sam" Optimus greeted. "Are you ready to begin?" He asked and Sam nodded.

"Okay so just like yesterday. Just relax, then imagine your body changing into it" Ben said and Sam nodded and closed his eyes to relax and concentrate. He finally managed to relax and began imagining his legs and arms changing and suddenly he felt wind rush by his face and he felt a little dizzy.

"Good job son. I knew you would get it" Optimus said and Sam looked at Optimus, who was almost eye level.

"I did it!" Sam shouted and tried to take a step forward. But gravity was against him. His leg felt heavier and he fell flat on his face with a base shuddering thud.

"Ow" Sam muttered.

"Whoops" Jack and Ben said in unison and helped him up.

"I should have mentioned that you have to get used to the feeling of the extra weight" Optimus muttered and Sam sighed.

"That would have been helpful" Sam muttered and stood again.

"Okay just try to lift one foot" Optimus said and Sam lifted his leg.

"Good…now put it on the floor and try the other" Optimus said and Sam did so, he began to try to walk. He looked like a astronaut trying to walk on the moon.

"That's good…keep it up" Ben said and Sam smiled, then tripped on his foot and fell onto Ben who thankfully was in his bot form, Sam and Ben blushed when they faced each other. Sam stood and tried to stop from blushing. He tried to help Ben up….which made him fall again. This time taking Optimus and Jack with him.

"Tsk Tsk Tsk I am gone for a hour and you are all having a orgy" Smokey said from behind them.

"SMOKEY!" They all yelled in unison.


After the successful training session with Sam, Ben took him out to dinner, without Smokey this time. They had just finished dinner at Olive Garden. They were about to walk out the door when a officer who looked a bit too young with black spiky hair, stopped them.

"Hang on boys." He said and Ben did a double take. Sam looked at the officer and cleared his throat.

"What is the problem officer…?" Sam asked and the officer looked at them.

"Cade. Officer Cade and the problem is that you two were caught leaving the site of a crash about fifty miles from here. I am going to have to take you in for questioning" He said, his voice slightly gravelly.

"Cade…" Ben breathed and the officer smirk.

"Now I don't want to make a fight out of this Benjamin…you and him better follow me now" Cade whispered at the two.
