AN: Okay so, this is the second part. I'm not going to answer reviews for ch.34 or the first part of the Hugs and Surprises. I just feel too bleck. So sorry, and thanks to all who reviewed!

Though it was the wrong thing to do, the two teens had frozen once more, staring ahead of them with mouths hanging open. A planet they recognized loomed ahead of them, but it wasn't Earth. It was much, much larger than their planet, and much farther away from the sun.

"Sam! That's Saturn!"

Sam just continued to gap. He couldn't believe his eyes, much less the situation they were actually in. Stuck on some floating piece of space rock with Starscream and some other guy who Starscream appeared to answer to, and they got to see the beautiful sight of Saturn. It was like Primus was taunting them. Hey, you get to run for your lives, but here's a nice view to make up for it.

Sam decided he was going to tell Optimus that he should have a long talk to Primus the next chance he got. However that might work out. And then Miles was stepping into his line of sight.

"I am so going to kick your ass when we get back!" His best friend growled, and Sam had a humorous moment of thinking where it reminded him of Barricade, and that maybe it wasn't only the teen having an affect on the ex-con, but the ex-con having an affect on Miles, as well.

Miles glared at Sam, cluing him in on the fact that he could feel whatever Sam was feeling. Sam grinned sheepishly. "Well, back inside? Don't think we can walk to Kansas from here..."

Just then they heard thrusters engaging, and the sound of something flying over head quickly. They barely had time to make eye contact before Starscream was landing a few yards away from them.

"Come here, boy!" The seeker hissed angrily, stalking towards them. "And bring your pathetic little organic friend with you."

Sam was screaming and running as the SIC of the Decepticon army reached for him, but he wasn't fast enough.

Ratchet had given up, calling off Will and Epps. The teens had just ceased breathing completely, their old pattern having finally ended. Out of everyone in the room he had picked the two soldiers to perform CPR, as they were less likely to forget their own strength in this situation, mainly because they didn't have to worry about it like the Cybertronians did.

"There has to be something you can do!" Bumblebee, someone the med-bot had a hand in helping to raise. "It wants them to live! It's keeping their bodies preserved, you just have to get them to breathe!"

Ratchet looked at the young scout sadly, and then to Barricade. Both were surprisingly young to have been through a war, the ex-con just slightly older than Bumblebee. It looked like the ex-con wasn't sure how to react, or even how to feel, in this situation. The CMO couldn't help but wonder how different Barricade would have been if he had never spent time with Decepticons.

Earth had given them a peaceful time after the defeat of Megatron, for the most part. Ratchet actually had spare time on his hands for once, and both Prowl and Optimus would actually take breaks. Ratchet had seen how well Sam and Bumblebee acted together, and how much good it was doing Bumblebee. It helped to restore the innocence and playfullness that the war had nearly stolen away, and everyone was happy to see that. At some points Ratchet thought that Bumblebee's hard won innocence was some of the only things that helped to keep them going when it was just Optimus, Ironhide, Jazz, Ratchet, and the young scout.

Then Miles and Barricade had come to base, surprising all of them. What surprised Ratchet more was when he worked on Barricade, and found out just how young he really was. Just a bit older than Bumblebee, and he could remember the now ex-con with the Decepticons for as long as he'd known him.

And there too, it appeared like a human was helping to heal whatever hurt the spark might have went through. Only it was so much more surprising that it was with a Decepticon, but Sam excepted it, which meant that Bumblebee had to, so everyone else did, too. And in the end it was for the best. They had gotten Miles, and a now Neutral who just may end up turning into an Autobot if things had continued the way they were.

He knew Bumblebee would be devastated at the loss of Sam. He wasn't sure how much it would affect the Scout, but he knew it would be bad, and for a long time. He couldn't even imagine how Barricade would react, but he could guess it had something to do with hiding it until he couldn't, and that was if he didn't leave the Autobots because of it. Right now things were good, and were going to get better if things went okay.

But they weren't going to if the teens never breathed again.

Ratchet shook his head, "We can't risk putting them on a machine. We have no idea how the Allspark energy will react to that, and CPR didn't help. There's no reason for them to have stopped breathing, there's nothing for me to fix."

The young scout remained silent, staring at his unmoving Charge sadly.

Optimus opened up a comm link between only Ratchet, Ironhide, and himself. :Someone needs to tell the parents of the situation.: Even over the comm link the young Prime sounded old and tired. Earth had been good to them so far, but it looked as if their lucky streak was about to end.

:We should move them to my med-bay.: Ratchet replied, and neither Ironhide or Optimus were going to argue that they'd be better off in the human one. :We'll have Bumblebee and Barricade carry them. Anyone else just might not work out right now.:

Ironhide and Optimus sent him their agreement, and Ratchet sighed. "Barricade, Bumblebee. Pick them up, we're taking them to my med-bay."

Silence was his only answer, but Ratchet didn't expect anything else. He watched as the two young Cybertronians almost matched each other for movements, both steel faced and resigned.

Until they actually touched the teens mere seconds apart from each other, but close enough to where they both gasped and no one could tell who did so first, and their holoforms flickered drastically, almost going out completely, before coming back full force. They missed how when their touches connected the area lit up, but the rest of the beings in the room didn't.

Ratchet was on them in an instant, shoving both Barricade and Bumblebee on to the bed with the teens, not caring that they were there. The teens were breathing, and both their Guardians were too shocked to even bother checking on them with Ratchet there.

Will was the first to speak, "What the hell was that?"

"Energy." Bumblebee replied, staring at his charge in shock. "They took energy from us."

Ratchet himself nearly gaped in surprise, but he was a professional, and left Ironhide to do that and question them.

"How in the pit did they take enough energy that your holoforms flickered?" The Weapons Specialist asked, but got no answer.

As big as a Cybertonian was, they each contained a large amount of energy. Even after a long battle they could keep holoforms going for a good few months even without Energon, given that they got enough recharge and weren't gravely wounded or something like that. This was because out of everything they did, holoforms actually took a surprisingly little amount of energy to create and maintain. For enough energy to be taken that there holoforms actually flickered was a shock to their systems, and they had just barely managed to keep the holoforms from fizzing out completely.

Both Miles and Sam groaned in unison, picking themselves up from where they had been dropped. Starscream lay near to them, the occasional part twitching, as unseeing optics remained online and staring up at the sky. The SIC of the Decepticons was paralyzed.

Sam backed away from the downed seeker quickly, "What the fuck was that?"

"I don't know!" Was his best friend's response, one he should have seen coming. "But whatever the fuck happened tingled."

Tingled was hardly the way to put it, but it was the only way that either could describe it. It hadn't taken much for Starscream to capture both of them, which they both felt the worrying effect of disconnecting more from their outside bodies. Before they had a small sense of it, that they weren't actually in their bodies, and that they were in two seperate places. But then that disappeared, and they only felt like they were in Starscream's gasp.

They had no idea that their real bodies had stopped breathing, or that when their Guardians touched them they took a shit load of energy from them.

Just that one moment Starscream was boasting smugly about capturing the mighty defeater of Megatron, and that the next they both felt a huge surge of... something race through their bodies. It must have connected with Starscream, because in the next instant the seeker was down.

The sensation didn't hurt, but it couldn't be described as pleasant. It was like they were feeling whatever was happening to every cell in their real body, as well as whatever they could be currently counted as right now. Apparitions, manifestations. Whatever.

Neither of the teens really bothered to wonder what had just happened. They just ran.

For one small moment, Ratchet feared for his spark. Then he reminded himself that he was actually a huge being made ot of metal. With weapons. And they were two puny organics that he could step on.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN THAT BEE AND CADE CAN STAY WITH THEM BUT WE CAN'T?" He then realized that being afraid was probably the smarter thing. Poor Ironhide was the one having to tell the mothers, too.

He hoped the husbands would be somewhat easier to handle, because Optimus and Will were going to be informing them.

Now all he had to do was keep Elizabeth and Judy from managing to kill Ironhide.

Bumblebee and Barricade avoided looking at each other, which was rather easy, seeing as they would both prefer to keep an eye on their respective charge's anyway.

Bumblebee laid on Sam's bed, holding the teen close. Both of their bodies were stationed just outside the window, and he would continuously scan the teen to make sure no new changes had happened just yet.

Barricade sat on Miles' bed, the teen pulled into his lap. He was leaning against the wall, which ensured Miles a more comfortable position even if he wasn't sure the teen could feel it. It was like they had switched positions almost, Miles now sitting up while Sam was laying down. Of course, neither of the mech's noticed, or cared about that.

Bumblebee growled suddenly, and Barricade looked at him.

"Keep that up and they'll worry we've switched personalities." Primus, but he never did think he'd see the day he'd be cracking a joke in an attempt to help an Autobot feel better. And he thought it was all because of the human currently in his arms. Without Miles he wasn't sure what he would have done, but he doubted it had anything to do with the Autobots.

Bumblebee ignored him, though Barricade wasn't too surprised by this. He was surprised when the young scout shook Sam slightly, worrying for just a moment that maybe it was possible that the yellow Autobot had snapped.

"I don't care where you are or what you're doing, but you get back here right now Samual James Witwicky! And that's a fragging order!" He hissed, shaking the teen more. He sounded angry at the teen, which would have shocked anyone in a normal situation. Bumblebee never got mad at Sam.

Barricade was about to say something, or call Ratchet, he wasn't sure which, when Sam twitched, laughed, and then groaned. He then cracked his eyes open, looked at Bumblebee, then over to Barricade and Miles, and groaned once more.

"Oh shit, Miles is going to ki-gack!" He never got to finish his sentence, because Bumblebee started to hug him tightly. "Bee! Death by hugging isn't cool at all!" He tried to push the Autobot Scout away, but failed.

Miles stared in shock at the downed seeker. Somehow he had gotten the idea to use the 'Big things really do fall harder' theory, and managed to make Starscream slip just as he was reaching for Sam. He figured it was the Allspark energy for that working out, but in reality Seeker's just weren't as graceful on the ground as they were in the air. Especially wet ground. And so the seeker had slipped, fallen on his aft hard and continued to go sliding, steering himself away from hitting a few Hatchling pods, only to slam into the wall of the Nemesis and lay in a crumpled heap, groaning.

He heard Sam laugh behind him, but it sounded further away then he thought possible. That's when he heard Bumblebee's voice somewhere in his mind. I don't care where you are or what you're doing, but you get back here right now Samual James Witwicky! And that's a fragging order!

He turned around to grin at his friend, crack some joke about his master calling him, just as Sam froze, and then faded out completely.

"Oh hell no." Miles was pissed, and already planning his revenge. Up until he noticed Starscream getting back up, and then he was running again.

Miles had stopped breathing, again, and Sam blamed himself. If he had stayed with his fellow teen then maybe this wouldn't be happeneing.

"Do something that surprises him! Bee sounded pissed at me so I was surprised and came around. More so surprised I could hear him, too, but..."

"Like what?"

Sam tried to think of something in that crucial moment, "Ah, fuck, I dunno! Kiss his ass! Pretend he's sleeping beauty!"

Sam was surprised when Barricade actually listened to him. Even more when Barricade definitely went the surprising route, and actually did it as if he was kissing some princess he hoped would wake up so he could marry them, cupping the teens face in his hands. If nothing else, seeing that would have definitely surprised him into coming back into his body. He almost wished he had a camera, but that thought was moved to the side quickly when nothing happened.

"How the fuck isn't that surprising? Damn his ass!"

"Maybe we should get Ironhide in here to do it..." Bumblebee suggested, "That would have to shock him. Having Ironhide kiss him and then if nothing else serenade him."

Sam shook his head, "Kissing again probably wouldn't work if it didn't work the first time. So uhm..."

The two continued to talk, not even bothering to include the ex-con. It annoyed him more than he thought it should. They didn't think he could surprise Miles, or get him back?

Later on if anything was said by the three he'd say it was because Sam and Bumblebee had pissed him off, and he just started to say whatever he thought would be the most surprising. Not that he actually cared enough to think of it on his own, certainly not that.

Either way he kept the teen's face cupped in his hands, and leaned his forehead against Miles'. He started to talk.

"You listen here, you little glitch. You need to come back from wherever it is you are. Elizabeth is going to kill all of us if you don't turn out okay, especially me since I'm the reason you're here in the first place. And I'm going to have a slagging long talk with Primus before they drag me down to the pit." A pause, no reaction. Except for Bumblebee and Sam going silent and staring at him. Barricade growled, "You slagging promised me, remember? Way back before you and Sam had even started to talk again. You promised that you weren't going anywhere until you had either annoyed me to death, or thought I could do without you. Well you know what? You haven't done either of those things yet! I still ne-I'd still probably kill at least one of these Autodolts if you weren't here with me! You're the most illogical and stupid thing I've ever met, but somehow you've wormed your way into my spark. So you know what? That means you owe me!" A slight twitch, it escaped Sam's notice, but not Bumblebee's or Barricade's. And he started to breathe. "That's right, you fragging owe me. So you need to come back, name that ridiculous bear your femme creator got you after me just to annoy the slag out of me, and hell maybe I actually do owe you a hug or two, or something!" A pause. "You're needed here, slag it! By all of us, by me!"

There was no other reaction, and Barricade felt his hope's dropping. He sat back, shoulders slumped, just as he noticed the grin forming on Miles' face.

"If I pretend to still be asleep would you keep talking?" The young teen spoke, opening his eyes and glancing around the room. "I mean, wow, talk about an ego boost."

Sam let out a relieved laugh, slumping against Bumblebee. He leaned his head against the wall, staring at the ceiling. "Dammit, Miles, why the hell do you have to be so hard to shock?"

He got no response, and frowned. Just before he looked he heard Bumblebee start to laugh.

"Apparently it's not that hard." And Sam looked, laughing when he saw a frozen Miles being hugged by Barricade.

Out of all the things to throw Miles off kilter, it would be the fact that he was being hugged by 'Barry'. Apparently this didn't escape Barricade's notice either, because the ex-con started to laugh. And then Miles was laughing too, apparently over his small little shock, even as he attempted to look annoyed.

"I am so not naming that bear after you. Having one of you is almost too much for me to handle, I don't need a second Barry. He'll be named Prowler the II and given to Jazz."
