Pairings: Sam/Bee, Ironhide/Will,

Sam woke up to the sound of Bumblebee's car horn blaring loudly. He sat up and looked around trying to find the source of the noise, before he realized it was Bee. 'What's going on?' He got out of bed and hurried downstairs. He was out the door just as his parents woke up and came out of their room.

"'Bee, what's wrong?" Sam whispered. Bumblebee shut off his car horn and opened his door with a soft 'click' sound, indicating Sam should get in. Not understanding what was going on and wanting an explanation he got into the Camaro and the door was closed.

His seat belt slipped over him and Bumblebee pulled out of the driveway as Sam's parents came out to see what was going on. They caught sight of Bumblebee leaving, but they couldn't exactly stop him so they watched as he took Sam away.

"'Bee, what's going on?" Sam asked, as Bumblebee warmed up his interior. The Camaro said nothing, and there was a slight hiss as the AC kicked on. Sam felt his eyes drooping against his will and soon he was asleep.

Bumblebee kept a sensor on Sam's vitals as he took his charge to where Ratchet was waiting with the implants. Ratchet had insisted on the implants when Bumblebee had come to him with questions on how humans did in space. This had lead to Ratchet finding out about Bumblebee wanting to take Sam with them when they went to gather Energon on Mars.

Of course, when Ironhide had found out about it he'd wanted Will to come along too, so Ratchet had implants for the soldier too. Little Annabel -whose mother didn't accept the Autobots and deserted them- was too young for implants so they were going to put her into a cryo-sleep until it would be safe for her onboard the Ark.

The process of putting in the implants, Ratchet had told the two Autobots, was painful even though it didn't take very long. Sam wouldn't feel a thing because of the sleeping gas Bumblebee had made him inhale, and he suspected Will had much the same done to him.

He pulled up to Ratchet, who was in his root mode. Ironhide wasn't there yet, and it looked like Optimus was greeting the others on board the Ark because he couldn't see the semi anywhere.

"Bumblebee, is Sam ready?" Ratchet asked, indicating a makeshift berth he'd set up using tree limbs.

"Gimme a hell, gimme a yeah!" Bumblebee's speakers blared, and he opened his door. Ratchet gently took the sleeping human and set him on the berth. Ratchet took out very small silver disks that looked much like quarters in shape and size, with the exception of being highly advanced robotic technology. Bumblebee unfolded and stood by Sam's side.

"This is delicate work, Bumblebee, stop hovering so I can accomplish it." The yellow Camaro reluctantly stepped back so Ratchet could work on Sam. It wasn't a long process, taking only five minutes at the most. When it was done there were a total of ten implants; one in each wrist, one behind each eye, one at the base of his neck, a sixth at his navel, number seven a few inches lower, eight went on one foot, nine the other, and the last was over Sam's heart. "Alright, he's all yours 'Bee."

Bumblebee picked up his charge and held him to his cassis just as Ironhide pulled up with Will. Bumblebee noticed Annabel sleeping in Ironhide's back seat and mentally smiled. 'It'll be nice to have a sparkling around.' He thought as he entered the Ark and went to his quarters with Sam. His human was going to have a lot of questions when he woke up.
