Chapter Eleven: Girls night out!
"Okay, boys have a good time alone tonight. And whatever you do, do NOT lose Skyler!" Arcee said to Bulkhead and Bumblebee.
"Got'cha, Arcee. Don't worry. You have fun with the girls." Bulkhead told her.
"Um…Arcee, we have a problem!" Aurora stated.
"What is it?" Arcee asked.
"Well, there are three of us humans and one motorcycle." She pointed out.
Arcee looked at me and winked and I transformed into the purple convertible.
"Oh…DUH! How could I forget? "Aurora smacked herself on her forehead.
"Whoa, Sonny, you NEVER told me you could do THAT! My girlfriend is an Autobot? Cool!" Skyler was amazed.
"Yep, I can." I said.
"One other problem…we don't have adult drivers!" Abby stated. Arcee then transformed into a motorcycle and we both produced holograms of humans.
"Awesome!" Abby shouted as she hopped onto Arcee.
"Hold on tight to the solid hologram, Abby!" Aurora told her.
Aurora hopped into my front seat and shouted, "Let's go!"
"Where should we go, girls?" Arcee asked as we drove out through the groundbridge and back to my home state, Maryland.
"Well, there's a drive in movie around the corner…" I said as I lead Arcee there.
We drove in and I Aurora my wallet to pay for the "four" of us.
Meanwhile, back at base, Bulkhead was teaching Skyler the game of Lobbing. One thing Bulkhead forgot was he was about ten times as tall as Skyler. Bulkhead threw the junk ball with his full strength and knocked over Skyler.
"Skyler, are you alright?" Bulkhead worried and lifted the ton of metal off of him.
"Mommy, is it nap time?" Skyler said in his state of concussion.
"Poor kid." Bulkhead shook his head. He put Skyler gently on the stairwell.
"Well, you shouldn't have been lobbing with a human!" Ratchet stated.
"It seemed like a good idea at the time…" Bulkhead shrugged.
Suddenly, the Autobot's radar detected a Decepticon signal where Optimus and Bumblebee were harvesting energon.
"Bulkhead!" Ratchet yelled.
"I'm on it." Bulkhead said as he transformed and went through the groundbridge.
Ratchet turned to where Skyler was, but he was gone.
"Ugh! Children…" Ratchet said with a "hmph!" as he went through the groundbridge after the teenager.
Back with us girls, we were watching the movie when Arcee's com-link went off.
"Hello, boys. How's it going? YOU'RE WHERE? HE IS WHERE? UHG! We're coming." Arcee closed.
"Who was it?" I whispered.
"It was Bulkhead. He and your boyfriend are fighting cons together." Arcee said in a sarcastic tone.
"Skyler's with him?" I shouted.
"Shhh!" the crowd exclaimed.
"Come on, girls. We're going back to base. Obviously, the boys can't handle ONE hour by themselves!" Arcee.
"One more thing, Arcee…" Bulkhead added.
"WHAT!" Arcee yelled as we drove away.
"Well, Ratchet went after Skyler so you're going to have to drive to base." He stated.
"Great! We'll have to drive to Nevada!" Arcee was annoyed.
At the energon deposit…
"Optimus, I don't think we can hold them off muck longer." Ratchet stated.
"We can do it!" Skyler encouraged them. With that little vote of confidence, Optimus started shooting any Decepticon that came near his crew.
"Ratchet, groundbridge yourself back to base, take this little one there and groundbridge Arcee here!" Optimus ordered.
"Alright, Optimus." Ratchet went back to base with Skyler, groundbridge us girls to base, then sent Arcee to battle.
"So what can we do?" I asked for us kids.
"Stay, still, quiet, and out of my way!" Ratchet said to us.
"Well, aren't you a bowl full of happiness, Ratchet." Skyler stated with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face.
"You know, Sonny this guy isn't half bad!" Aurora said as she put her arm over Skyler's shoulder.
Finally, after endless waiting, the Autobots returned. I saw Bumblebee and I morphed into my human form. I ran to them and Aurora, Skyler, and Abby followed me. We knew something was wrong.
"Is Bumblebee alright?" Abby signed me.
"What did she ask, Sonny?" Optimus asked me.
"She asked if Bee will be okay." I told Optimus.
"Bumblebee got beat up a little, but he'll be back on his feet in no time." Ratchet said.
I signed what Ratchet said to Abby. Abby sighed with relief.
With her 12 year old heart, she cried as she walked over to Bumblebee. Bee gave her a gentle hug.
