Chapter Thirty Five

A Moment of Reprieve

Salazar had been arrested, striped of his credentials, and was held in a tiny cell as he awaited his punishment. He was not going to be let go lightly. Especially since he ordered his men to capture Arianna. She was a key link between human and Cybertronian relations and since she was so important, the President ordered for her to under Optimus Prime's jurisdiction at all times unless otherwise ordered.

The red haired girl found she didn't have a problem with that.

It had been a little over a month since Salazar had been arrested and Sector Seven had been completely disbanded – the other members of the sector had cracked the first day. It seemed as if they were threatened to come or else their families would have been in danger.

Jazz had been busy getting things ready for Bee's day. Although the ever lingering threat of Starscream hovered over their heads, it seemed like it was a day for everyone to enjoy. The silver saboteur finally shared his little plan with the other Autobots (which included an excited and embarrassed Bumblebee) – plus their human allies – although Sam took a little time to warm up to the idea.

"Just don't get her pregnant." He grumbled before crossing his arms and turning away. The poor yellow and black mech had to switch his internal cooling systems on.

"Okay, Bee…you wanna surprise 'er 'cause you love 'er, right?" Jazz said as he slapped the scout on the back of the arm. It was the only place he could reach since he was the shortest mech.

"Yes. It is what the humans consider our 'anniversary.'" He nodded back as a small smile graced his face underneath the mouth guard.

"Aww, Bee. Congrats." The silver saboteur said. He motioned everyone to get in a circle. The Cybertronians squatted down so they could easily converse with their human friends. Ironhide, Optimus, and Ratchet shared a knowing glance. They hadn't seen Bumblebee this excited since they learned they were heading to Earth.

"Right. Everyone know their positions?" the silver saboteur questioned in a hushed voice. They nodded and broke their huddle.

"Keep 'er busy, Bee. You know what ta do." Jazz smirked and Bumblebee let out a series of cheerful chirps and whirrs.

"Got it." He said before heading off to the room Arianna shared with Mikaeala. Well, it was more like a room that Mikaela slept in if she were mad at Sam. She mostly slept in Sam's room anyway. He approached the door and transformed to his alt mode, parking so that he was directly in front of the door, blocking it so she couldn't 'escape' from the room. He activated his holoform and slowly crept into the room. His spark melted in concern when he saw how tired his sparkmate was. She had her face buried in her pillow and it seemed like she had barely moved through the entire night. Her bottle of water she kept near the bed was untouched – which was a rare thing – and her hair was spread everywhere in a tangled mess.

Momma tired, Papa? Silvershot asked as he climbed out of Bumblebee's pants. He had been shined up and carried a rose in his little hands.

Yes, momma tired. Time to wake her up, Silvershot. Do your thing. The small sparkling was in on the plan. It was up to him to wake her up and get her smiling before Bumblebee helped her in the bathroom. His holform couldn't help but blush – it wasn't like that! He was going to draw a bath for her and help her relax.

Silvershot slowly crept onto the bed from his mech creator's hands. He was determined not to fail his parents. He crawled up to his mother's hand and slowly tapped it, sending his love and admiration through their bond.

"Momma, wakie up." He cooed in a small voice. Bumblebee couldn't help but smile at the sight in front of him. His smile widened when Arianna's eyes opened and she looked around in confusion before they landed on Silvershot. She sat up, bringing the little sparkling with her as she looked at the rose in curiosity.

"What've you got there, dearspark?" she questioned before yawning and stretching. She looked up and smiled when she saw that Bumblebee's holoform had been watching her sleep.

"Wow, Bee. Creeping much?" she giggled as her sparkling began to twitter in her hands.

"Rose from papa. Happy…An…aniver…sary…" he struggled, "Happy Anniversary!" he finally managed to get out. Her mouth dropped open and she looked up at Bumblebee with a shocked expression.

"Two months ago I was finally able to talk to you without having to worry about waking from stasis." The blond holoform began as he walked forward, reaching out to cup Arianna's cheek. "You don't know how happy you make me, My Princess. These two months, despite the scares and hardships, have been the happiest in my long life. I love you." He breathed, bending down to kiss his beloved on the lips.

Silvershot twittered nervously and the two broke from the kiss. Bumblebee smiled happily while Arianna giggled in delight.

"Now up. Jazz has a whole day planned for us." Arianna tilted her head to the side and the blond holoform rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah, he kind of had this planned for the last month. He's a saboteur and what Jazz wants to happen, Jazz makes happen."

That drew a long string of laughter from Arianna's lips. Bumblebee's face brightened as he picked her up.

"So, what's first?" Arianna questioned as she raked a hand through her hair. It had grown a little longer and now brushed the top of her shoulders. He liked it when she grew her hair out. He could play with it and fix it for her. One of his favorite things to do was brush her hair. It was so soft!

"I am going to draw you a bath." Bumblebee said with a soft smile. He picked up his sparkmate despite her light protesting. Silvershot took the hint and scuttled out of the door, making his way to the other Autobots and humans.

"You don't have to do that." Arianna protested as a small blush graced her face. She struggled lightly, but Bumblebee only tightened his grip on her.

"Remember this, My Princess. I will never let you go. At least, not voluntarily." He said as he looked down at her with a small smile. They were lost in each other's gaze for a few seconds before Bumblebee remembered what he was supposed to be doing.

"I know you won't, Bee." Arianna said as her eyes began to moisten, "I'm glad I met you." The two then proceeded to the bathroom and, true to his word, Bumblebee drew a bath for his sparkmate. He had thought of everything and, to make her comfortable, he had set out a bathing suit for her to wear while he was in there.

Arianna relaxed in the water as Bumblebee sat behind her, rubbing her shoulders and cupping the water to run it over her skin. She had laughed at the bikini he had set out for her – it was yellow with a little bumblebee on the left breast.

"Are you relaxed?" he questioned as he continued to rub her shoulders.

"Oh yeah. This is probably the most relaxed I've been since…before we were taken by Sector Seven." She sighed, reaching up and stroking his face with a wet hand.

"Hey, now!" he laughed playfully. He leaned down over her and kissed her upside down lips. The action caused the red haired girl to giggle.

"You know, I never thought that this would happen. I mean…you are the best thing that has happened to me, Bee. You and Silvershot are everything to me…not to mention the other Autobots, Sam, Mikaela, Ron, Judy, Lennox, and Epps." She sighed, "It's kinda weird now that I can see my spark through my skin."

Bumblebee made a little sound of agreement as he lightly touched the glowing area right above her spark. He wanted so badly to strengthen his bond with her right then and there, but now was not the time. Jazz said he had everything planned out…and Bumblebee knew that bonding was different from just plain interfacing. Interfacing could wait until later.

After the water had run cold, Bumblebee picked up a protesting Arianna – did he really have to carry her wherever he went? – and carried her back to her room. On the bed lay a beautiful yellow and black dress. The top was a corset style and it flared down to mid calf. Black knee high boots went with the ensemble and black and yellow arm warmers were there for her arms. The top was low enough to show off the pale glow of her spark through her skin. He turned around as she dressed – he was not a perverted mech like the twins. When she was done, she wrapped her arms around Bumblebee's waist, lightly kissing his exposed neck. He turned around in her arms and looked at her with a gentle smile on his face.

"Beautiful." He breathed. The soft glowing of her spark was all the jewelry she needed in order to look absolutely stunning. She giggled again, a blush spreading across her cheeks as he kissed her on the lips. He opened the door to the room and gunned his engine, allowing his sparkmate to open his passenger door. He dismissed his holoform for the moment, conserving his energy for later events. He slowly drove through the base hallways. They were decorated with multiple things – lights, hearts, stars, several 'happy anniversary' signs, and every so often they saw a human holding an arrow sign.

Bee followed the arrows as he started to search the list of cheesy romantic Disney songs that Jazz had sent him. From past experience, he knew that the red haired girl sitting in his passenger seat loved Disney movies. It was one of the qualities he loved about her. She was mature, yet she retained some of her child-like quirks.

Finally he found one that was suitable at the moment.

Come, stop you're crying. It'll be alright. Just take my hand, hold it tight. He sang to her over their bond. She had started to tear up as they were driving. Bumblebee activated his holform once again and wiped away her tears. He held her hand to his lips as he continued to serenade her through their bond.

I will protect you from all around you. I will be here, don't you cry. He said as he wiped another tear from her cheek. For one so small you seem so strong. My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm. This bond between us can't be broken. I will be here, don't you cry. 'Cause you'll be in my spark. Yes, you'll be in my spark. From this day on, now and forever more. You'll be in my spark, no matter what they say…you'll be in my spark…always.

By then he had come to a stop right in front of the main hanger.

"Bee…that was…" she couldn't even form the right words. She was speechless. Her spark was overflowing with her love for him and she sent as much love as she could back to her sparkmate. He offered her his hand and the two of them made their way inside the hanger. One side was decorated as a ballroom and the other was decorated as the outside of an Italian restaurant.

"Hungry, sweetspark?" he asked her as he nuzzled her neck. She looked up at him in a questioning manner.

"Can your holoform eat?" she asked, curious.

"They do not need to eat, but it is possible. Our holoform bodies just convert the food to energon and fuel." He said with a smile. He led her over to the small table and pulled out her chair for her. As soon as the two sat down, Sam came out, dressed as a waiter, to take their order. Arianna was giggling the entire time while her brunette brother gave Bumblebee a look. He ordered for the two of them and reached over as he noticed Jazz appear in the corner behind Arianna. The silver saboteur gave him a thumbs up, pointing to his chassis – where he had an impressive set of speakers – and started to play a song as Lennox and Epps came out with the order. It had actually been ready to go, but they didn't need to know that. The two human companions began to act as the music started, acting as if they were the ones singing.

"Oh this is the night. It's a beautiful night, and we call it Bella Notte." Lennox began to sing as he twirled a plate of spaghetti in front of Arianna. Her eyes lit up – she loved spaghetti.

"Look at the skies, they have stars in their eyes, on this lovely Bella Notte." Epps sang as he pointed to the ceiling. There, several fake glowing stars sparkled down at them.

"Side by side with your loved one, you'll find enchantment here…" Lennox crooned. As the two started to eat their spaghetti. It was only on one plate, but it was a pretty large plate. "The night will weave its magic spell when the one you love is near."

"Oh this is the night and the heavens are right on this lovely Bella Notte." Epps serenaded the two as they twirled around the table. Somehow, Epps managed to produce an accordion of all things.

"This is the night, it's a beautiful night, and we call it Bella Notte. Look at the skies, they have stars in their eyes, on this lovely Bella Notte." Lennox sang.

"Side by side with your loved one, you'll find enchantment here. The night will weave its magic spell when the one you love is near." Epps sang.

"Oh this is the night, and the heavens are right on this lovely Bella Notte." The two sang together, leaning up against each other. This happened to be the moment where Arianna and Bumblebee snagged the same noodle without noticing it and ended up kissing. The red haired girl giggled before biting the noodle and the two parted just slightly.

"Did you do that on purpose?" she quietly asked him with a grin spread across her lips.

"I would have if it were possible, but that was just by chance." He replied. Mikaela came out to clear their places and the two of them were left alone. Jazz left as well, but he had wired the com systems to blare out one last song.

"Would you care to dance?" he questioned and he beamed when she nodded. The two made their way over to the dance floor. Neither Bumblebee nor Arianna knew how to dance exactly, but it was just fine with them. They pressed their chests together as they twirled in a small circle together. It was then that the lyrics of the song hit them.

Can you feel the love tonight? The peace the evening brings…The world, for once, in perfect harmony with all its living things.

The two of them twirled a little more before they stopped, looking in each other's eyes as they felt their feelings for each other grow. Bumblebee made a slight change to his holoform – the shirt disappeared and she could see the soft glow of his spark underneath the skin. Holoforms did take a part of the Cybertronian's spark to work, after all.

Arianna looked up at him and their gazes locked. Bumblebee tightened his embrace around her, arms locking around her waist as she brought her hands down to rest upon his strong arms. Their sparks pulsed and they leaned towards each other.

Can you feel the love tonight? The peace the evening brings…The world, for once, in perfect harmony with all its living things. Can you feel the love tonight? You needn't look too far. Stealing through the night's uncertainties, love is where they are.

Their lips connected and their sparks brightened, resonating with one another. They started to glow even brighter and they actually passed harmlessly through the skin on their chests. Their tongues intertwined with one another as their sparks circled one another, touching and bumping before finally fusing into one spark. They became one, sharing each of their memories, emotions, thoughts. They were one.

Finally, when the two needed to part for air, their sparks separated and retreated back into their bodies. They leaned their forehead on one another and enjoyed the moment.

"I love you, My Princess."

"And I love you, my sweet Bumblebee."
