(Litwak city, honeys apartment building, hours later)

Honey stepped off the elevator on the 25th floor of her apartment building, sneakily looking around. She clutched her purse straps in 1 hand while the other clutched a shopping bag from Kevin's toy store. After making sure her neighbors didn't see her, she quickly got into her apartment and locked the door. She threw her purse on the counter before opening the shopping bag with glee, she bought herself a western toy fort with cowboy and Indian figures.

"Was the sneaking around really necessary?" Bumble asked

"What kind of adult buys toys for themselves to play with? The neighbors know I don't have kids of my own" said Honey

"You're overreacting" said Buzz

"Come on guys, I don't want the neighbors to think I'm too weird. And you know I didn't get to play with toys growing up. With a toy store in the city maybe I can enjoy some now. Especially with Sophie in my life" Honey told her bees

Her bees flew off her head and glitched into their kid sized bodies, helping honey take out the pieces.

"Why don't you get started on dinner, we'll put this together" said Bumble

"Hope the ladies at your tea party tomorrow don't think this is weird" said Stinger

"They won't, I'm not telling them I bought a toy for myself to play with. Don't need to be that open, yet" said Honey

Honey went to make herself a frozen meal while her bees put the playset together. After eating, Honey felt cold and started sneezing.

"Are you ok Honey?" Stinger asked

"Yeah, it's the temperature outside is all. Weathers getting colder, you all noticed" said Honey

"You're right. Tomorrow we start wearing our winter gear when we go out" said Bumble

Honey sneezed again before excusing herself to the bathroom, maybe a hot shower would make her better. Her shower warmed her body, but she didn't feel much better. She wrapped herself up in towels before going to her bees.

"Guys I'm gonna turn in early, I'm not feeling so good"

"You need anything?" Bumble asked

"Just play quietly. Maybe a nights sleep will make me feel better" said Honey

"Ok, goodnight honey" the bees announced

Honey finished drying off before grabbing her pajamas to change into them. Once she did, she threw her clothes in a laundry basket, put her jewelry back in her jewelry box, and threw on her fluffy bathrobe before bundling up in bed. It made her feel warmer already. It wasn't even that late, it was only 8, but she felt so tired. Perhaps that was from exhaustion. Honey removed her glasses before rolling herself in her blanket, where she instantly fell asleep.

(The next morning)

Honey awoke, not feeling any better. In fact she felt worse. After getting her glasses on, she saw her bees in their big bodies wearing sweaters and checking her forehead.

"No offense Honey, but you look terrible" said Stinger

"You're forehead is burning really bad. You have a fever" said Bumble

"I'm sick? Aw great, looks like I'll have to miss tea with fudge. Why're you guys dressed?" Honey asked

"We're running over to the store to get you some medicine and other supplies. Don't worry I won't lose your purse" said Bumble "I'll keep it on at all times"

"Thanks guys" said Honey

Bumble took honeys phone and blaster out of her purse and placed them next to her on her nightstand before opening the curtains. It was a dark day and it was lightly raining outside.

"You need anything before we go?" Buzz asked

"The tv remote, some water, and my pearls" said Honey

"Your pearls? Why do you want-

"Give me my pearls NOW STINGER!" Honey snapped

Stinger obliged and quickly got Honey her pearl necklace from her jewelry box

"I'm sorry I snapped, but with zeke gone-

"We understand. We'll be back as soon as we can" said Buzz

Her bees quickly got her the other things she asked for before kissing her forehead, which was very warm. Honey put her pearls on her neck and got comfortable in her bed. If she was gonna be stuck at home she might as well be comfy. She turned on the tv and watched a little bit of the news, the imperial navy was launching another attack on Lucy, who still held her blockade. Honey clutched her pearls, she was worried for zeke. Wearing her pearls reminded her of one of her happier memories with him. He got her them the day she realized he was the one for her, the day he saved her life in Turok.

Honey wore them every day since, only taking them off to bathe and sleep, they were her most prized possession. Honey watched on tv as both navies launched fighters to attack, Lucy obviously having the advantage. Honey couldn't watch anymore and changed to a morning talk show. Honey began to relax before hearing something break down her front door. She hid under her blanket in fright, before grabbing her blaster. She aimed it at the bedroom door, nervous.

"Honey? You home?"

Honey calmed down, it was only her friend Rumble. She announced she was in her bedroom, and soon enough the 8 foot tall Black and Red Decepticon walked in.

"Hey Rumble, what brings you here?" Honey asked before sneezing

"I wanted to return those DVDs you lent me. You weren't at the store so I figured you were here. You ok?"

"Not really. I'm sick" said Honey

"And you're all alone?" Rumble asked "well Don't worry honey, I'm gonna take care of you. Even we cons get sick"

"You do?" Honey asked

"Well only when we're dying. I'm not a medical bot but how hard can caring for you be?" He asked

He took a seat on her bed, and the bed began creaking. Honey clutched her mattress tight and closed her eyes in fear as the bed collapsed under rumbles weight.

"Sorry about that" said Rumble

"It's fine, I still have my mattress and pillow and blanket, it's good"

Honey felt nervous about Rumble being in her home. He accidentally wrecked her living room, broke her bedside lamp, almost wrecked her tv, smashed a bookcase, all in a few minutes, all from his large size

"Hey, how about a massage, that should get your mind off things" said Rumble

"Well-

Before Honey could answer, Rumble flipped her over and turned his hands into his pile driver hammers. He slowly beat honeys back with them, it wasn't very comfortable. Honey felt like she wanted to puke, and she almost did. Rumble quickly stopped to let her breathe.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it" said Rumble

"It's fine. You know what I want? Just sit down til my bees come home with my medicine. I just want to watch, aah, aaaah, Aaachoo. I just want to watch tv" Honey replied

Rumble sat down as Honey got comfortable on what remained of her bed.

"Hey Uh Honey, question. What's that white thing you're always wearing on your neck?" Rumble asked

"You mean my pearls? It's a necklace my boyfriend gave me some time ago" said Honey

"What does it do?" He asked

Honey rolled her eyes, she was very annoyed she had to explain this in her current state.

"Do they make you bulletproof? Let you breathe in space?" He asked

"They make me look pretty in public. That's it, nothing else. It's something girls wear" said Honey

"Well, I personally don't see it" said Rumble

He grabbed the necklace to hold it up but accidentally snapped it off Honeys neck, breaking it. Honey was shocked, she was angry. She was normally calm but now she had finally lost her patience.

"Get out" honey demanded

"I'm sorry?"

"Rumble, Get, out, of, my, HOUSE! GET OUT, SCRAM YOU 80's CASSETTE TAPE THING!" Honey snapped at the con

Rumble did as she wanted, for he didn't know how unpredictable she could be when angry, as she never lost her patience enough to do such a thing. The bees came home some time later, and were horrified at the state of the apartment. Honey explained to them what had happened and showed them her pearls which now lay scattered around.

"Well, we can fix the apartment, somehow just not now. Daniel can help us when he returns from that beach game. And you still have your other necklace from Zeke" said Bumble

"I know. It's just, well, you know" said Honey

"We're sure Rumble will be fine wherever he is. We're here now to take care of you" said Buzz

"Thanks guys. Can someone-

"Way ahead of you" said Bumble as she grabbed honeys other necklace while Stinger gave her medicine and Buzz got her comfortable

For the next hour, the bees did everything she wanted. Honey was very thankful to have such great helpers as them. Around noon she heard Rumble again enter the house, but he wasn't alone. She got up to see Felix with him in her living room, fixing all the broken stuff with a tap of his hammer before repairing her bedroom in a flash, even repairing her pearls which she was quick to put back on.

"Hey honey, I'm really sorry about what happened. I really care about you, you're the first human I've ever cared about really. I'm sorry I broke your pearls and trashed the apartment" said Rumble

"I'm really sorry for snapping at you Rumble. I still like you. I'm just not feeling well to think straight. We're still friends" said Honey

Rumble smiled before turning towards the door.

"Hey, you still want to stay with me?" Honey asked

"It's best I don't, but I found some people who do"

Rumble opened the front door to reveal Fudge and her friend sunkirst were outside waiting. Fudge explained since Honey couldn't go to them, they went to her, saying it's hard for them to get sick so they don't mind having tea with her at her house. Honey was happy. After Rumble left, Fudge and sunkirst got comfortable in Honeys room, sitting around her bed. It was nice having girls to talk to.

Honey learned quickly that they all had something in common, they came from nothing and had horrible lives before moving here, but were now successful and happy.

"Our game was cruel. Me and my son were so horribly abused. Everyday, even when he was a baby, he was hurt by the other adults" said Sunkirst

"That's horrible" said Honey

"Indeed it was. My husband was the worst, I was only married to him not from love but the weird laws our game had. He was so abusive. I'll never forget the one thing that made me want to get away from him when we came here. He did this to the twins" said Sunkirst

(Flashback, months ago, wreck of the ISD dauntless)

Sunkirst watched as her husband, mr citrus, was beating Kevin, wanting to know where the smorelines were.

"The device is ready sir"

Kevin was thrown into a metal table and strapped down. The table flipped him over towards 2 small poles glowing with electricity.

"No, please, not this" Kevin begged

"Tell us where those freaks are" Mr citrus demanded

"Never" Kevin shouted

"So be it"

Kevin was lowered towards the poles and electricity shocked his entire body. Kevin screamed in pain and cried when it ended. Sunkirst covered her sons eyes from it.

"Ok, ok I'll talk" Kevin cried

(Sometime later)

"This will make me feel better" mr citrus told Lucy before throwing her into the ocean

"Help me! Please, I can't swim!" Lucy shouted

Sunkirst hated watching that, she wanted so badly to help Lucy, but she too couldn't swim. The other adults laughed at Lucy while Kevin tried to break free

"Don't let me drown! Please somebody help me!" Lucy cried

(End flashback)

"How can a man do such things to kids?" Honey asked

"I don't know. But he's gone now, Lucy killed him, I'm free, I never have to see him again. I'm happy with my life" said sunkirst

"Me too" said fudge

"Same here. I made so many new friends. Have my own place, almost everything I want. Feels nice to lie down, I've been working a lot lately. I could really use a spa day, my feet are killing me" said Honey

"What's a spa?" Sunkirst asked

"Oh you get used to the feet hurting. It's normal" said Fudge

"A spa's a place people go to relax. And no feet hurting like crazy is not good for you or normal" said Honey

"It's not?" Fudge asked

"You telling me your feet are in pain right now?" Honey asked

"We have corns yes but that's just how-

"Ok that's it, when I feel better, I'm taking us all to the spa. My treat" said Honey "we're all hardworking women, we deserve better. We've earned one. Lucy and Kevin go to one every month and they turn out fine, mostly"

"Alright, just give us a call when you're ready and we'll go" said Fudge

After several hours, Honey began to feel much better, enough for Fudge and sunkirst to feel comfortable leaving. Of course her bees still stuck around to feed her and care for her. Buzz went into honeys closet go get another pillow for her when he noticed a shopping bag from the toy fort. Honey was surprised, she completely forgot about it.

"What is it?" Stinger asked

"It's from zeke, that's all I know" said Honey

She unwrapped the gifts inside and found a yellow Nintendo switch lite and several games, a copy of world designer, Mario kart, and some downloadable games. There was another note

"Something to get your mind off things. Enjoy" Honey read

"Well, never gave much thought into video games. But this could be fun" said Honey
