The morning was a rainy one.

Very- Very rainy. Clouds had darkened the sky so greatly that some people didn't think it was fully morning yet. Kids didn't want to go to school- Parent's thought of playing hooky and skipping work to sleep. It was that kind of day- infact- the weather man said it might be that kind of week. Great. Just what the Autobots needed, right? Nice rain to rust em' up.

Bumblebee was voted out for a forced patrol. Despite the others knowing him and Raf went out on a joy ride last night (and stayed up past both their bedtimes) !

Perhaps it was a cruel punishment. Seeing how no one really was playing around anymore, and there goes bumblebutt and the nerd on the race track.

His sped slowly. No one was out on the road today, not even those 'hicks' (as Jack sometimes put) from the little town. They'd usually come up and challenge Bumblebee, thinking that someone (Jack) had to be inside. Sometimes the bee would accept and they'd race off- but today? This month? Nope.

No giving into temptations. That's what usually got everyone in trouble.

In about an hour the yellow one found himself off the main road and hitting a hidden trail among the forrest. Bumpy and uncomfortable with all its might, the bot discovered some leeway from the rain. Trees blocking the hard wet pellets from hitting his paint and windshield? It was a treat.

Guess that 'No giving into temptation' rule was out of his head.

About a long way into the drive he could smell some lingering smoke- something burnt- but it didn't sem fresh. Weird… barely anyone knew about this path, right? Had someone crashed? Surely not- then the police and human healers would be still crowding around this place.

He sped up, trying to get away from the smell. But it just got worse.

Making an annoyed buzz he gave into his naïve curiosity and made a sharp turn, stopping and transforming. Luckily the trees were about as big as him here- so no risking an assault.


Soundwave sat so very still- his faceplate cracked and crumbling every time he turned his head to listen around…. (He seemed alittle jumpy, to say the least.) though he wasn't trying to keep it together.

He reached up to touch the hole in his neck, feeling around inside. There was nothing. Nothing but a blank, dark, black hole that needed to be masked…

His leg was bent in a horrible way- but no pain came from it. The bot looked at it with confused, light lavender, optics… what… what happened? Why was he here?

Where am I?

His mind whimpered silently to himself, and his head jolted towards the right, hearing a crackle of bushes and sticks.

He flinched, moving away from the moving noise. Something was coming here. He was injured- he was scared- confused-

Who's there!? He opened his mouth to scream, already forgetting that he had no way of talking. His face mask completely crumbled, making light glass breaking sounds as it hit the ground.

The noise from the bushes and trees suddenly stopped.

… Silence fell over and Soundwave sat so very still. Waiting.

He blinked slowly after a moment, thinking that it had gone away. He turned his head to the right, then up at the pouring sky. Some drops hitting his face, causing him to flutter and shake his head.

Where am I…


Bumblebee sat, crouching like a panther, staring at the image before him.

His blue optics flew wide, scanning the enemy franticly.

Why is Soundwave here!? He silently screamed inside.

Though… Soundwave didn't notice him.

Wait- Well he did notice him- but didn't do anything….

That wasn't like this enemy. Oh no. Right now? Bumblebee should be half dead from a battle or thrown from the enemies tenticals.

Why was he just sitting there? Doing nothing?

It might be bait. Though Soundwave's pride wasn't enough for the bot to just SIT and wait. Only Starscream or Knockout would do such a thing, right?

Peering over alittle bit more- he saw that Soundwave's leg was completely dead. He winced. It was bent in a very horrible way. But judging the bot and how he didn't seem to care or notice told bee that the nerv wires must've been separated.

And finally- he noticed Soundwave's face.

His face….

HIS FACE-!

With the thought, Bee made a screeching noise, causing Soundwave to jump back and look over to his left again.

Crap. He was noticed fully now.

In a panic- Bee called to Ratchett, not afraid of showing himself any longer. He sped out, phoning the medic by pressing a button to the corner of where his mouth was.

Soundwave kicked himself away- his claws digging into the rock and ground, looking up at the yellow one. He looked… scared.


'hello? Bee? What's wrong- hey! Slow down- what's wrong?'

Bee tried to explain himself the best he could.

'Soundwave!? He's there!? With you!?'

Bee complied with a screech. Obviously scared and fed up.


Looks like Soundwave has no memory! Poor dear- Bee's freaking out as well! Not to mention Ratchet is confused as fuck.

What will happen to our darlings!? Stay Tuned!

also! I pose a poll to all of you-

Truth be told- I can't figure out how Bee and Soundwave will fall deeply (oh so lovingly deeply) in lurve. Looking for suggestions! we all know now that Bee has some anger and fed up emotions within him- will he snap and take hold of Soundwave?

Will their love be accidental? Will Soundwave make the first move?

Please suggest! :) if you come up with a very solid plan that I like- I'll write it out and give ya the credit ;O
