I think I'm going to start updating once a week at least until I get more chapters finished. I've been focused on this Twilight Jasper Hale fic I'm writing. My writing moods are very strange so hopefully I'll get back to Transformers soon.

Thank you rainbowunicorns459 for reviewing. I really appreciate it.

This chapter is a little boring, I apologize for that but the end of season 1 is approaching and the big action starts happening.

Anna walked down the steps with Jack only to see Miko waving bye to Raf as she got in Bulkhead. Raf turned around, "Miko doesn't have a report due..." Anna frowned, They all had a bunch of work to do so they couldn't go to the base, apparently everyone except Miko. That means she wouldn't be able to see Bumblebee until tomorrow..

Jack patted them on the back, "We can see them tomorrow and hang out all day!" Anna just nodded and got in the driver's seat, throwing her bag in the back. Raf got in the back, behind the passenger side where Jack was sitting up front.

Anna looked them over to see if they were wearing seat belts before driving to Jack's house. She pulled up to the sidewalk and smiled softly at him, "Bye..."

Jack grinned at the two of them, "See ya!"

Raf got up front with her, "I wish we didn't have so much homework! Bee and I were gonna have a video game marathon..."

Anna smiled softly at him and ruffled his hair before driving to their house. When they got there she brought their bags in and laid them on the dining room table. Their mom had dinner already made and waiting on them since everyone else had already ate. Anna shook her head and ate her food while writing down her report, Raf doing the same but his was on a different subject.

Later that evening Anna wrote the last few sentences on World War II down and slipped the notebook in her backpack to see Raf gone. She sighed, he must have finished early and went to bed. Anna looked out the window before going upstairs, taking her shower. She quickly slipped back to her room and changed into her pajamas before going to bed.

Anna jumped out of her seat as the bell rang and walked out of the doors to see Bulkhead, Arcee and Bumblebee all waiting on them in their alt modes. Anna smiled at how Bee parked next to her car. She walked over and leaned against his side while waiting on the others to get outside and everyone else to leave. Finally everyone else left and Anna grinned at him sheepishly, "Sorry..."

He beeped at her, {What for? I understand humans have schoolwork. You don't have to be sorry about that Anna, We can hang out today!}

Anna grinned and nodded, getting in her own car and began driving to the base as Arcee and Bulkhead passed her. Bee pulled up behind her only for Raf to reach over and honk his horn at her. Anna giggled softly and sped up a little bit and parked her car before walking into the main hanger. Anna quickly walked up to Bee and hugged his foot. He leaned down, putting her on his shoulder as he walked over to the platform where Raf had the game system ready to go. She saw Jack and Arcee say they were going for a ride while Miko and Bulk were listening to their music in the back. She sat on Bumblebee's shoulder watching the two guys race each other on the screen until she fell asleep, her head on the side of his helm.

Raf and Bee looked up after they finished another round and saw she was asleep. Raf laughed softly, "I think It's time we get home.."

Bee beeped at him softly, {Should I wake her up?} She did drive her car there and if she didn't drive it back.. But she looked comfy. He also loved when she sat on his shoulders, not that he would admit that to anyone.

Raf nodded, "Anna! Wake up, there's a spider!"

Anna jumped up, screaming, "W-What!? Where?!" She turned to Bee and Raf and glared at them as Bee put her down on the ground gently. She waved over her shoulder and got in her car, driving them home and falling asleep in her own bed.

{X}

Anna finished the outline of Bumblebee's alt mode when she noticed Jack was falling asleep beside her. Anna quickly elbowed him in the side as the teacher started walking around.

Jack sat up, rubbing his eyes and sighed, continuing the schematics of a motorcycle. "My mother found me driving up past curfew and grounded me for two weeks from the bike."

Anna looked over at him, surprised before shaking her head, "I'll drive you..."

Jack smiled at her softly, "Thanks Anna.."

Anna smiled at him before frowning, "What about 'Ce?"

Jack looked around before turning back to her, "I'll tell you guys after school."

Anna nodded, frowning softly as she went back to shading.

{X}

Anna let Raf out at their house, waving bye before driving to KO Burger. She parked in one of the empty parking spots and waited on Jack. She saw him walk out of the building, talking on the phone. He appeared aggravated as he slipped in the car, "I need to get home, quick! My mom is coming home to cook dinner and I don't know if Arcee is there!" Anna blinked before driving to his house, listening to him calling Arcee. He turned to her after he hung up, "She was on a mission with Bee..." Anna bit her lip and sped up even more just so she was ten over speed limit. She soon pulled into the driveway.

"JACK!"

Anna looked and saw June Darby walking outside. She noticed Anna and smiled politely at her, "Oh hello dear, Sorry for this." She turned back to him, "I can't believe you disobeyed me! Where is the motorcycle?!" She put her hands on her hips with her back to the garage door.

Anna blinked while watching the windows in the door and all around for Arcee while trying to stay out of their family issues. She saw a blueish green light and nodded at Jack.

"Ugh.. What do you mean? She's right where I left her." He got out of the car and pushed the garage opener in his mom's car.

June turned around as the door opened up too see the motorcycle there. She turned back around, "Did you get one of your crew or Anna here to sneak it in? Or did you just walk it up again.."

Anna got out of the car and stood beside him, waving her arms and shaking her head for a no. "You saw me just pull up, Mrs. Darby!"

Jack sighed, slumping over, "Okay... mom. Do you really want to know?"

Anna bit her lip, "Jack..." She saw Arcee moving forward a bit, they both knew what he was about to do and it wasn't good.

Jack ignored them, "Fasten your seat belts.. My motorcycle is a sentient robotic organism from a distant planet, part of a team stationed here on Earth. They're in a secret war and I spend most of the time after school hanging with her crew. Anna and Raf are friends with one of them too!"

Anna laughed nervously as Jack pushed his bicycle into the garage, "Uhh..."

June watched Anna before turning to her son, "Jack."

Jack turned to them, "The coolest thing is this isn't her actual form." He motioned to Arcee, "She's really a giant robot who can transform into a vehicle."

June sighed, "Enough Jack."

Jack crossed his arms, "It's okay Arcee, show yourself."

Anna watched Arcee as she stayed still and didn't even turn her engine/lights on. "Oh great."

Jack laughed nervously, "She's shy.. Arcee...Really. No more hiding, no more lies. Oh come on, roll out already!" He kicked her back tire out of anger.

June stared at her son, frowning softly. "So, um.. The bad crowd you've been hanging around with is a science fiction club?..." She looked at her watch, "I have to get back to work, We will continue this when I get home."

Anna watched as June got in her car and drove off before slipping into her car, "Bye!" She quickly drove back to her house in order to avoid more drama with the Darby family, his mother already thinks she's a sci fi geek.

{X}

Anna went home and ate something with Raf before driving back to base with him. When she got there she saw Arcee was gone, probably at Jack's home to keep Jack out of more trouble. She shook her head and sat on the couch, watching Raf and Miko play video games. After a couple of minutes she turned to Bee, "Wanna go for a ride?"

Bee beeped at her, nodding his head {Yeah!}

Anna giggled softly and got on Bee's hand as he transformed while holding her so she ended up in the driver's seat. Anna smiled and leaned against the door frame while Bee raced out of the base and began driving around some of the roads around the base. She saw the crescent moon up above them and smiled softly, "It's beautiful..."

Bee beeped at her, {Your Earth's moon is quite appealing, but not as much as you.}

Anna blinked in surprise, "B-Bee?"

She felt his gears shift by accident and he swerved a bit, {Uhh... sorry...}

Anna just watched the steering wheel before nodding, "Okay..."

Bee groaned mentally at himself for letting that slip. Sure, he may have been thinking about Anna in a certain way. Maybe he liked her. Maybe she was really gorgeous. But he couldn't act on any of it. He wasn't human. He may be young compared to the other bots but he was still ancient compared to Anna. He thought of Jack as a child even though he was just as old as Anna. Anna he didn't see like that. It still wouldn't be appropriate. He was her guardian, her friend and her protector. They couldn't be together, even if there was a slim chance that she liked him back.

{Are you ready to head back? It's getting close to Raf's bed time.}

Anna turned back from looking outside, lost in her own thoughts very similar to Bee's. "Oh.. Yeah."

{X}

Anna walked outside the school with Jack and gaped at him, "What?"

Jack nodded as Miko also flipped out, "Silas kidnapped my mother with Airiachnid... I'm bringing my mom over in a bit to meet the others.."

Anna mouthed wow as she thought about what he told her. She saw the others leave and mechanically got into her car, driving to the base. The Decepticons and Mech knew about Jack's mom and got to her.. What if they went after her and Raf's family? Anna jumped as a loud honk scared her. She looked up to see she was on the left side of the road, Bee beside her, flashing his lights. Anna quickly corrected herself and pulled over, turning her car off. She stared at the steering wheel, her hands shaking. Her passenger door opened and she yelped only to see Raf staring at her worriedly.

"Are you alright, Anna? Bee was worried about you."

Anna looked up to see Bumblebee parked ahead of her car. Anna groaned and laid her head on the wheel. "I'm fine Raf.. I just got distracted for a second.."

Rafael frowned and sat down, placing his hand on her back. "Okay.. Bee's going to follow you back to base though."

Anna smiled slightly at him and kissed his cheek. "Worry wort."

Raf groaned and wiped his face, "Eww! Anna!" He scoffed before he smiled softly before leaving, shutting the door behind him.

Anna shook her head and pulled out, continuing the drive to the base with no more incidents. Anna parked her car in a side room, walking back to the main room. She stopped when she saw Bumblebee walking down the hallway.

{Are you alright? You scared me earlier. Your earth based vehicles can be very dangerous if not handled correctly. Maybe you should let me drive you back home today.} He kneeled down so they were closer in height.

Anna could tell how worried he was. She gently smiled at him and patted his knee. "I'm fine Bumblebee.. I promise. I just got distracted a little.. I would actually like that. I miss riding with you."

Bumblebee beeped happily and gently picked her up, nuzzling his head against her happily. {Me too.}

Anna blushed and smiled, playfully trying to push his head away. "So is June really going to find out about all of this?"

Bumblebee nodded softly as he sat her on his shoulder. {Yeah. Trying to keep Arcee a secret has become too hard on both Jack and Arcee. Optimus proposed that we formally tell her, especially after she was kidnapped.}

Anna frowned and looked at the ground when he mentioned the kidnapping. "If she was so easy to be captured.. My family isn't safe either."

Bumblebee shook his helm and nuzzled her again, beeping softly to try and comfort her. {No. Ratchet has strengthened the scanners for Decepticon activity. He has programs running to monitor yours, Jack's and Miko's residences. You are all quite safe.}

Anna listened to him before smiling and nodded, hugging his helm. "Okay."

Bee smiled and walked back to the main room, placing Anna on top of the platform where Miko already was. Miko and Raf were talking about what happened last night when they heard Arcee driving towards them. They looked over too see Jack and June riding Arcee. June looked around at all of the bots in amazement before looking up at Optimus.

Jack grinned, "Mom, meet my science fiction club." She just waved nervously as all the bots gathered together.

Anna watched her before getting her art pad out and began drawing the moment while it was still fresh in her memory. She caught Bee staring at her out of the corner of her eye causing her to blush and hide her face in her art pad which Miko didn't fail to notice.

{X}

Anna sighed softly as she pulled into the base, parking her car in the hidden room to the side. She got out, pouting a bit. Bumblebee had called her cell phone when she got out of school to tell her that he had to go on a scouting mission with Optimus. Bumblebee was supposed to go riding around with her and Raf. Raf ended up riding to the base with Miko and Bulkhead while Anna went to the library to pick up a history book for her homework. She stuffed the keys in her pocket and walked inside the main room only to see June and Jack talking together, Arcee standing beside them. Ratchet was on his controls again. Anna quickly tried to hide behind a large box to the side. June was there, again!

"Anna!"

Anna peeked out from behind the box and sighed as she walked up to the nurse, waving slightly. "Hello Mrs. Darby.."

June grinned at her, looking her over. "I remember you when you were in pre-school with Jack here, you've both grown up so much!"

Anna laughed nervously and walked over to the lounge area and began working on her homework, hearing Jack complaining to his mom about her embarrassing him in front of his friends, and Arcee.

{X}

"That's odd. That's an unusually large magnetic flux, unusual for any planet."

Anna looked over at Ratchet's monitors just as she put her books in her bag. She walked over and looked at it with him curiously. She heard an engine pulling into the base and turned to see Bulkhead driving into the room. Anna sighed softly from her point above them. Took them long enough.

Miko and Raf hopped out. "Did you feel the G's on the last turn?! Bulkhead's an animal!" They both made animal motions with their hands causing Anna to stifle a laugh.

Raf smiled at Jack's mother nervously, "Uhh, don't worry Mrs. Darby, we were wearing seat belts.."

Anna just crossed her arms at them and turned back to Ratchet, tilting her head. He looked at her and shrugged, continuing to analyze the flux.

Ratchet turned to Bulk, "Bulkhead I need you back in the field to look at an odd magnetic disturbance."

Miko grinned, running to the entrance, "I'll go with!"

Bulkhead sighed, "Woah!" He stopped her with his hand, "Stay put Miko." Miko groaned and sulked back to the lounge area. Anna watched as Arcee left with Bulkhead, most likely to get away from June. Anna looked back over at the small group and shook her head.

{X}

Anna was playing video games with Raf when Arcee's voice carried across the base, "Bulkhead and I are kind of stuck together."

Ratchet sighed, "What?"

Bulkhead groaned as if he was ashamed, "We've been magnetized together."

Miko scoffed from the com link. "They're inseparable."

Ratchet just gaped at the screen, along with everyone else.

Bulkhead continued, "And the device that did this is on its way to Megatron."

Ratchet sighed, "A polarity gauntlet."

Anna and Raf put down their controllers and walked over to the controls to the left of Ratchet where June and Jack were.

Ratchet looked at them, "A deceptively simple but diabolical creation."

Arcee groaned over the com, "Just tell me you can unhitch us Ratchet."

Ratchet looked at the screen, "It may simply be a residual charge, giving your current attraction."

Miko yelled at them, "They're not attracted to each other!"

Ratchet rolled his optics, "But I'm afraid retrieving the gauntlet is our surest bet for reversing its affect. Once Megatron gets his hands on the gauntlet..."

Jack narrowed his eyes, "He's going to use it for a whole lot more than posting notes and family photos to the fridge."

June frowned at her son, "Jack, I'm not following."

Ratchet turned to her, "Madam, we are forged of metal alloy. If Megatron could repel us with the flick of a switch, we might never again have a shot at him."

Raf sighed, "Instant force field."

Anna blinked and looked up at Ratchet, "Or he could do the same thing that happened to Arcee and Bulkhead to all of you... Easy target..." She gently rubbed her throat a bit before sitting beside Raf.

Ratchet nodded, "Precisely Anna. The good news is that the gauntlet hasn't traveled far. I would strongly advise pursuit."

{X}

"Ratchet, Miko needs a ground bridge."

Miko groaned at them, "Why!"

Arcee narrowed her optics, "This is war. I'm not risking your well being just so you can get your daily adrenaline fix!"

Miko growled at them, turning her back, "Ugh! You think Jack's mom is bad? You sound just like her!"

{X}

June turned to the three kids to her left, "Is that such a bad thing?"

Jack smiled nervously, "Uhh.. I'm going to go over here." He walked off to the side.

June turned to Raf and Anna. Anna laughed nervously and began typing away on her laptop, trying to look busy. Raf feigned interest in what she was doing to avoid June's gaze.

{X}

Anna was up on the top ledge, next to Miko and Raf watching the three bots talking about the gauntlet.

Bulkhead grinned, "Souvenir, but.."

Arcee nodded, "We don't recommend indoor use."

Miko groaned, "Eww, they even finish eachother's sentences.."

Bulkhead turned to her, "Miko! Check it out, new battle scars!"

Miko just smirked and took a picture.

Anna watched them before walking over to Ratchet, huffing softly. She watched as he put the gauntlet away.

Ratchet soon turned to her, "You miss Bee?"

Anna watched him before sitting down on the edge of the railing. Her legs were dangling over the edge and her arms were leaning on one of the bars, her head on her arms. "No, why would you say that?"

Ratchet just watched her, Anna reminding him of a lovesick femme. He shook his head and contacted Optimus, asking when they would be back, not hinting towards any of the humans or the events that happened that day.

{X}

Arcee took Jack and June home. Bulkhead took Miko home which left Ratchet with the two Esquivels who were waiting on their guardian to show up. Anna was silently drawing little cartoon figures while Raf was playing around on his laptop quietly. Ratchet was in the med bay, happy about the peace and quiet. They all looked up to see the two bots drive through the entrance, transforming.

Bumblebee beeped at them and went to go in the back for a recharge when he saw Raf run up to his foot. He kneeled down, beeping at him. {Raf? What are you still doing here? It's late.}

Raf looked up at him, "We wanted to see you..."

Bee looked up and saw Anna standing at the top of the lounge area, her arms crossed. He beeped nervously, {Sorry we took so long.}

Anna just grabbed her bag and walked down the stairs and passed Bee, walking to her car. "Bye Optimus, Ratchet. Good night."

Optimus nodded at the young femme, "Goon night Anna."

Ratchet waved his hand, checking something on his monitor.

Raf turned to Bee and smiled nervously, "She's not mad... She was just worried and she loves you."

Bee tilted his head as he listened to his youngest charge. {She does?}

Rafael nodded and smiled softly "Yeah. She just wanted to spend some more time with you so she's being huffy." Raf rolled his eyes, "Just give her a while and she'll get over it."

Bumblebee hummed before he saw Anna's car pull up to them. {Good night Raf. You two be careful.}

Raf smiled and waved at Bee, Ratchet and Optimus before leaving with his sister.

Ratchet chuckled as he turned to Bumblebee, "Coincidentally, Anna reminded me of a bonded femme earlier."

Bumblebee felt his fans kick on and shook his head as he began walking to his room.

Ratchet smirked, waiting till Bumblebee was almost out of hearing range before continuing. "I approve!"

Optimus looked at Ratchet with an amused face. "Ratchet.."

Ratchet looked up at him and chuckled, "It's all true and highly entertaining to watch."

Optimus looked towards where Bumblebee walked off. "For now." He began walking to his own quarters. He could see their relationship forming but he prayed to Primus it didn't end horribly.
