Honey
Follows 'Allegiance'

"You're one of us," the little cat insisted, her green eyes wide and bottomless. Bumblebee shook his helm of the fog that seemed to be taking over his processor. He had to be imagining this. Prowl would have mentioned the fact that the cat he had adopted was capable of human speech. And that she was apparently his advisor for a team within the Autobots that utilized…magic? Granted by the light of the crescent moon? (What about other phases of the moon? It wasn't even a crescent moon tonight; the phase was just shy of a full moon, the great white globe hanging in the air like a child's attempt at a circle that came close but was still slightly off.) It was all too strange. The cat huffed in exasperation, and then did an impossible back flip, landing nimbly on all four paws. A large round panel clattered to the ground after her; gold and sparkling and embossed with a silver crescent moon. It was strangely compelling. "I'll prove it to you." She said somewhat grimly, and nosed the panel towards him. Bumblebee stared at the panel, and then looked at her again, not trusting himself to speak. "Well, come on then," she said impatiently. "Pick it up."

He bent and scooped up the panel, giving her an uncertain look. "What am I supposed to do with it?"

"Attach it just over your spark chamber. Quickly now!" She frowned at his skeptical look. "Don't argue, just do it!"

Uncertain as to just why he was obeying the odd cat, even if she was Prowl's, Bumblebee did as he was told. The panel clicked in to place with a strange sense of familiarity that surprised him, and then the heat rushed over him.

It was as if everything he had ever done over his lifetime led up to that moment. He felt as if he had been missing a piece of himself his entire life without knowing it and only now was whole. Suddenly everything came together and his spark was singing with the pure and absolute rightness of it all. And even when the heat faded, that feeling of completeness didn't fade.

He onlined optics he hadn't realized he'd offlined in the first place, and looked down at the cat. And that's when he noticed the black bow and the gold skirt. "This is new." He observed mildly.

"Come on," Tranquility said a trifle smugly. "Time to go 'kick some 'con aft', as Jazz would say."

Bumblebee grinned at her. "Now you're talking my language!"

The sight of Jazz and Prowl similarly be-skirted didn't surprise Bumblebee all that much by this point, but his own entrance certainly surprised everyone else. Words rose unbidden to his mind, and Bumblebee smiled in to the stunned silence, his expression bright and cheerful and utterly without malice. "Moon Honey Spark Burst!"

Starscream, coated in what appeared to be a veneer of gold sparkles, crashed in to a nearby tree as his vision was compromised. Thundercracker and Skywarp wobbled in the air, and Prowl quickly fired off a couple of quick purple blasts from his scythe. As they fell ingloriously from the sky, Jazz grinned at the newest recruit.

"Nice duds." He said cheerfully. Bumblebee grinned back.

"Yours aren't too shabby either."

Prowl shuttered his optics once before turning towards the downed Seekers. At least they were still somewhat normal.

A/N: This chapter is for Lucretzia, is requested way back in Chapter 14 'the discovery of Bumblebee's transformation~'. I don't know if you're still reading, but if you are, this is for you :)

(See! I can do requests! They just. Take awhile sometimes. *shifty eyes*)

If anyone's interested (and bored), I have a poll going on above my profile right now. Since so many people have mentioned a Tuxedo Mask-like character, I was curious as what would be the most popular. Fill it out if you're so inclined :)
