"Cee I don't want to!" Bumblebee whined from where he stood in the hallway.

"Come on Bee, don't be so cranky" Arcee sighed trying to wave the sparkling into the main room.

"No!" Bumblebee protested turning to face away from the femme.

"Bee, you don't want me to come over there do you?!" Arcee threatened taking a few steps towards the moody sparkling.

"No"

"Then come here!" Arcee growled getting fed up with the scouts bad behaviour.

"No!"

"Alright that's it!" Arcee hissed storming over to Bumblebee, who jumped and tried to take off before Arcee grabbed him and carried him into the main room up to Optimus who was working at the moment.

"Ok I have had no for an answer the entire week, it's your turn to watch no I don't want because I'm stubborn and bored!" Arcee shouted angirly at the prime as she handed him his sparkling.

"I need a break!" Arcee snarled before Optimus could say anything.

"Oh you need more then a break femme..." Sideswipe commented as he and his twin watched Arcee have a moment.

"Shut up before I take my frustrationd out on you idiots!" Arcee turned and snapped at the twins.

"No, you can save that for Mirage" Sunstreaker teased as he and Sideswipe drove out of the base in a hurry, before Arcee could get them.

Mirage just heard everything from the couch and got up trying to escape the base with the twins.

"I can... um see that a break is needed, you and Mirage may go on patrol" Optimus said taking Bumblebee, and watching Mirage sneak past.

Mirage perked hearing his name and behind Arcee he waved his servos and shook his helm whispering no to the prime.

"Fine, lets go!" Arcee sighed walking past Mirage to the exit of the base.

"Help me..." Mirage said as he followed the crazy mad femme out the base.

Bumblebee stared and watched the two leave up from where Optimus held him, he then started to squirm impatiently in the primes servos.

"Little one I think it's about time you settle down" Optimus sighed turning the sparkling around in his servos to face him.

"No!" Bumblebee bleeped squirming around more, trying break free of the primes grip.

"Maybe it's time for some rest" Optimus softly spoke as held Bumblebee close to his chest, cakming the sparkling with his spark.

"No... not even tired..." Bumblebee tiredly whirred as snuggled against Optimus's chest, slowly falling in and out of recharge.

"No, well I think it would be a good idea for a while" Optimus cooed rubbing the back of Bumblebee's helm, making recharging irresistible to the sparkling.

Bumblebee in no time was recharging peacefully and quietly in his fathers arms without argument, Optimus sighed with relief and continued to work while he had Bumblebee.

"Yeah, well looks like a break was needed" Mirage said as he and Arcee caught up to the twins on the desert road.

"Yeah, we thought you were going to kill someone" Sunstreaker told the femme as hshe and the ferrari dove up beside them.

"Yeah probably, hey don't get me wrong I love Bee, but sometimes he can get on your nerve circuts" Arcee said to the three mechs.

Soundwave was flying above them in the clouds none of them having a clue he was out he decided to surprise his brother and started to dive stright for the red Ferrari.

"We no, everyone can only handle something for so long" Mirage told the femme as they continued to drive.

As Soundwave was only feet away from his driving brother he transformed.

"Surprise!" Soundwave yelled as he grabed the Ferrri and threw him causing his brother to transform landing on his peds.

"Holy scrap Soundwave!" Mirge gasped after he landed.

"Ha ha, I got you good" Soundwave snickered at the red spy.

"Yeah... yeah you did..." Mirage huffed and laughed walking over to his faceless brother.

"Nice, that was awsome!" the twins praised the seekers prank work.

"Thanks, but I know it's going to come back and bite me in the ass" Soundwave chuckled as Mirage walked over.

"Yeah it is!" Mirage laughed tackling his brother to the ground.

Soundwave quickly transformed and flew straight up with Mirage holding on for dear life.

"Aaaah, Soundwave!" Mirage cried, looking down at the tiny dots on the ground who where the others.

"What!?" Soundwave laughed as he flew straight and calmly.

"Get me down from here!" Mirage yelled in a panick.

"Ok" Soundwave said banking right, into a dive.

"No no no no!" Mirage panicked as they got closer and closer to the ground at great speeds.

"I don't know what you're shutting your optics for, you big sparkling" Soundwave said poking his brother who was wrapped around him tightly.

Mirage slowly opened his optics to see they were back on the ground, and Soundwave was transformed and standing with him clung to his body.

"Oh" Mirage said jumping off of Soundwave who laughed at him with others.

"Oh you are so dead!" Mirage growled tackling Soundwave again but pinning him so he couldn't transform.

"You wont do anything" Soundwave said trying to wriggle out of his brothers grip.

"Yeah how bout this!" Mirage said lifting a fist about to punch Soundwave in the face.

"Ah, no don't hurt me!" Soundwave cried curling into a ball.

"Ha ha, I would never do that you big sparkling" Mirage teased getting off of the frightened seeker.

"...I knew that!" Soundwave snorted as Mirage helped him up.

"Ha, sure you did" Arcee laughed as they headed back to the base.

"I really did!" Soundwave whined following the four.

"It's to quiet in here, did Bumblebee escape?" Ratchet asked walking over to the prime.

"Nope, recharging" Optimus said showing the medic the his slumbering sparkling in his arms.

"If only it were that easy for all of us to get him to recharge like that, without a fight" Ratchet sighed with a smile.

"Ratchet what are we to do about this bounty?" Optimus sighed looking down at Bumblebee's recharging form.

"I don't know, we don't have the power to destroy an entire army of decepticons" Ratchet replied to the primes question.

"Nor can we without causing or indangering human lives" Optimus added.

"The only possible way to lift the bounty is to..."

"I know Ratchet, but what will happen in return..."
