It had been surprising to one day wake up from their recharge and find a furiously chirping and very pissed off sparkling where Sam had once been. Though, he was completely adorable, even when he was cursing in his own way.
He was much like a tiny version of Optimus, but with his colors lighter, softer then the bold chrome, red and blue. He even had a face mask, making Bumblebee curious as to why that form was chosen. He was very curious as to why Sam had been changed into a sparkling in the first place.
Staring at the sleeping Sam, Bumblebee very gently shifted and rearranged the thick, specially made blanket over him before once more relaxing on his chair. A soft coo escaped his charge, making his face plates shift in his rendition of a smile. Looking to the entrance way, the young bot tilted his head in greeting to Ratchet and Optimus as they came in, closing the door behind them.
"How is he?" Ratchet asked, voice rough with tiredness, making Optimus and Bumblebee give him looks. "I'm fine. I just figured out where I felt his spark energy before last night."
"Where did you feel it?" Optimus asked, taking a seat near Sam as he let out soft, content chirps. Reaching out, he stroked a hand over the small helm, getting a soft hum from the young sparkling.
"It's a mix actually. Partly you, partly Megatron and partly the All Spark," Ratchet replied, sitting down along with the others. "You all know that Sam's body had been messed up with the radiation from the All Spark, but apparently it was much worse than we thought," he stated, getting surprised looks from the other two mechs.
"So why was he changed?" Bumblebee asked, crossing his legs at his ankle joints, leaning back against one wall.
"So his human body can rest. The left over All Spark energy that was floating around his cells did it actually, taking the protoform of the last two mechs to create his body," Ratchet replied, watching Sam with soft optics as small arms and legs stretched before sprawling out again, a quiet purr of an engine starting up.
"So, will he change back?" the yellow Autobot asked, drawing two sets of blue optics as he rearranged the blanket again.
"We don't know. I suppose it will depend on if Sam's body is savable or not. There is also the fact that he's been picking up Cybertronian body language and our actual language. He glared at me yesterday after a curse escaped and then tossed his empty cube at my head," Ratchet admitted, getting quiet laughter from the other two.
"Well, I'm not surprised. At the moment, he is considered a baby and babies are well known to pick up the cultural quirks of their environment. As for him picking up the language..." Bumblebee trailed off, shrugging slightly.
"He does have the All Spark energy so I'm not that surprised. Bumblebee, keep watching over him for now," Optimus said, getting a nod.
Bumblebee didn't mind. After all, Sam was adorable as a sparkling, even as he turned over and curled his legs up under his stomach. The thumb sucking would have made a humans teeth ache it was so damn sweet.
