Hopefully this is a chapter that most of us can sort-of relate to in a twisted kind of way. Have you ever been so tired and then woken up in the middle of the night so then you're disoriented, well, this is what's happening to Arcee so you can get a better idea of her thoughts right now.

Enjoy!

-Arcee's POV-

Finally, I thought to myself as I lay my metal head down on my re-charge berth. A re-charge berth is this glowing 'bed' which is hooked up to our energy tower, and the berth transmits extra power into us.

Through semi-opened eyes, I watched the walls of my 'room' ascend until they reached the high garage ceiling, giving me privacy. These walls made up each others rooms, which were located in the garage. I sighed trying to calm my systems enough to go to sleep. I haven't slept in weeks! Because of the time differences between the galaxy and Earth, our sleeping patterns were horribly thrown of, so we noticed that every few weeks, 'Earth-time', we needed to re-charge. I went over four weeks! I was almost passing out at the thought. My make-shift clock glowed 10:58 pm. I closed my optics and drifted into a deep slumber.

What felt like a few minutes later, my door shuffled open. Barely registering the fact, I fell back asleep. A second later, I heard the faint rustling of someone getting into my bed. Out of habit, I moved myself over onto the right side of my bed, this being a somewhat regular thing. One optic opened lazily. 2:36 am. I mentally groaned. I was soooooo tired.

A hand gently turned my face towards the left. In response from the touch, my optics opened a fraction. In the dim glow of the digital clock, I saw a flash of yellowish armor. My database, still in dream world, concocted images of everything, and everyone I knew associated with the color yellow.

There was light pressure on my lips. The man beside me slowly pried my lips open and I instinctively returned the gesture; all the while slipping in and out of consciousness.

Right now, 50% of my mind was saying 'Go to sleep,' another 40% was saying 'Go away,' and an itty-bitty 10% was saying 'Hot-dang!'

Even though I was delirious from exhaustion, that 10% was steadily increasing; 15%, 17%, eh, maybe 25%.

Soon I found myself leading the kiss. We pulled each other close and became more and more into the scene. His mouth moved to my collar and between the shoulder blades. His face moved back to mine.

Now, before I go on, let me remind you: I was stressed out emotionally and mentally, I was sleep-deprived, I was worried about the battle, and my mind was I don't know where!

So suddenly, right before I placed my lips back on the person's beside mines, I whispered, "Bee."

At that moment, the curious hands that were a second ago free lancing on my body came to a stand-still.

We both froze as our optics snapped open.

"Bee?" Sunny, the man laying beside me asked. My throat began to produce the beginnings of words, but all that came out were clicks.

Adjusting to the dark, I saw Sunstreaker, my lover, staring at me, his arms locked to his sides, and a look of question, amazement, fear, and bafflement contorting his face.

"I..." I tried to say. I didn't have the strength to look at him straight on so I dropped my head ans stared at my luminescent berth.

"I, uh, gotta go." I mumbled as I sprinted into the 'hall way' (which is just walking space between the walls) in record time, my head still ducked.

Not looking where I was going, I bumped into Optimus Prime.

"Oof, whoops, sorry Optimus." I apologized.

He waved it off. "Arcee, I just came to find you, would you mind patrolling 3/4ths out for me tonight?"

"Yes!" I agreed jumping at the opportunity.

Optimus looked slightly perplexed, but continued to give me my minor mission.

I needed time to think...AGAIN!

Grrr, I had to write this entire chapter twice because I pressed 'Save' and then Fan Fiction said I wasn't logged in so I logged in again and it deleted all my work. I know, I'm stupid because I don't have back-up documents and type everything directly onto the site. Gah! Annoyed!!!!
