"Bumblebee, is everything set up?" asked Sari.

"Yup. Now all we have to do is wait until tomorrow for Prime to return from patrol," said Bumblebee.

Sari and Bumblebee walked back into the base. They found Prowl watching another nature show on big cats. Bumblebee walked to his room with Sari on his shoulders. He decided to let Prowl watch his nature shows... for now. Bumblebee closed the door and sat down on his berth.

"This is going to be the best prank yet," Sari exclaimed.

"I know right. Prime will freak," said Bumblebee.

"Next we should do something on Ratchet. Paint him bright pink with orange swirls while he's sleeping," said Sari.

"We can do that tonight. Then they won't suspect anything," said Bumblebee.

~~~later that night

Bumblebee snuck into Ratchet's room and spotted the medic sleeping next to an empty space. Optimus had yet to return from patrol. Sari brought in the paintbrushes and Bumblebee brought in the two paint buckets. The yellow scout silently opened them. Sari dipped her paintbrush into the orange paint to mix it. Bumblebee grabbed the other one and got to work.

Sari and Bumblebee did their work swiftly. They left and laughed quietly when they got back to Bumblebee's room. Ratchet was going to freak out. Luckily for them, Optimus didn't come back until tomorrow evening, then it would be Bumblebee's turn for 24 hour watch.

~~~next day: evening

Optimus drove into the base. He went to the medibay to greet his mate. Something didn't seem right. Optimus walked in and looked around. He heard swearing. It was Ratchet yelling at someone. Flowing water rushed to his audios. Optimus rushed to the back to find Ratchet trying to scrub away paint while lecturing Bumblebee and Sari for their stupid prank.

"Ratchet, what happened?" Optimus asked and started to help get the paint off.

"These two idiots decided to paint me while I was sleeping. I've been trying to get the stuff off for hours before it harms the sparklings," said Ratchet.

"How much longer?" asked Optimus, worry lacing his tone.

"I don't know. So far they seem fine. I don't know how much paint already got into my Energon flow. If they were in trouble then I would be in labor right now," said Ratchet.

"Yeah we're just going to go now," said Bumblebee and left.

"Sari, were there any more pranks set up that I should know about?" Optimus interrogated.

"I'll go take it down," said Sari.

"I swear those two are worse then Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. At least those two stopped when it caused danger to others. Bumblebee has no respect for anything. Both are very lucky that the sparklings are still safe," said Ratchet.

~~~main room

"Hey Bulk, where did Prowl go? I can't find him anywhere," said Bumblebee.

"He's probably out at dinobot island again," Bulkhead answered, painting a flower.

"Thanks," said Bumblebee and transformed.

The scout left the base and off to the docks. He would go to the island and go talk to Prowl. Maybe the ninja bot could help him. The ship stopped and Bumblebee got off. He walked to the center where Prowl usually was. He saw the dinobots fighting something, but guarding at the same time. Bumblebee hid in the bushes and watched. Grimlock stomped on something and it made a pained yelp.

"Me Grimlock say you leave now," Grimlock growled.

"Fine I'll leave. Just don't hurt me anymore," the thing pleaded.

Grimlock stepped back and a black bot with green optics ran toward where Bumblebee was hiding. He crashed with Bumblebee and freaked out.

"Hey cool your circuits. What did you do to make them mad?" asked Bumblebee.

"I ran into a black and gold bot and they came after me," the bot said, only partly truth.

"Well friend, you had better run. I wouldn't want to get them mad again," said Bumblebee.

The bot nodded and left. Bumblebee walked to the dinobots, who formed a wall around something. Bumblebee raised his hands in surrender to show that he was friend. Grimlock recognized the bot and moved aside.

"Me Grimlock demand that puny bot fix," Grimlock said.

Prowl laid on his back, breathing hard and moaning in pain. Bumblebee knelt next to Prowl and lightly touched his hot armor. Bumblebee didn't care for it. Prowl's cheeks flushed red from high body temperature.

"Prowl, you awake? Come on," said Bumblebee.

"Bumblebee... get me to Ratchet," Prowl weakly begged.

"Uh... Grimlock, I need your help getting Prowl to Ratchet. He can fix Prowl," said Bumblebee.

"Me Grimlock help friend," said Grimlock and transformed to robot mode. The others followed him.

~~~000

"Hey Prime... the dinobots are in the city again," said Bulkhead.

"Again. Can't they just stay on their island?" Optimus asked himself. "Bulkhead, stay here. I'm going to go see what they want."

Optimus transformed and sped off. Screams of terror filled the air. Optimus mentally rolled his optics and went toward the sound. Grimlock stood there with Snarl and Swoop in front of him. He growled at anyone who came near. Bumblebee lead them somewhere.

"Come on, we're almost there," said Bumblebee.

"Bumblebee, what are they doing here? They are causing trouble," said Optimus.

"No time for this boss bot," said Bumblebee.

Optimus caught a glimpse of gold and black armor. He froze for a minute. So that was why the dinobots were there. Bumblebee managed to lead them into the base.

"Hey doc bot, get out here now!" Bumblebee shouted into the base.

Ratchet grumbled as he walked out of the medibay. He saw the dinobots and raised an optic ridge to the minibot. Grimlock walked up to Ratchet and showed him the injured ninja-bot. Ratchet was speechless. He took Prowl and set him on a med. berth.

"Prime, keep everyone out of the medibay. I don't want any distractions," Ratchet called from the medibay.

"Friend be alright?" asked Grimlock.

"We're not sure Grimlock. Just wait right there. Ratchet will come out tell us if he will be alright," said Optimus.
Grimlock sat down in front of the medibay and waited. Swoop and Slag joined him shortly. They were worried about the bot that they loved so much. The black bot had did something to him.

~~~ hours later

Grimlock sat in the same position for hours. He still waited for news on his friend. Swoop had fallen asleep, curled up into Grimlock's side. Slag was drifting off to sleep on the floor. Ratchet had finally, finally emerged from the room. Grimlock got up, waking Swoop up.

"Me Grimlock demand news on friend," Grimlock said impatiently.

"He's got a deadly illness. I'm not sure how to help him. The best that I can do is to let him rest," said Ratchet.

"But he's gonna be alright, right?" asked Bumblebee.

"That's what I'm afraid of. I fear that he may never wake up again," said Ratchet.

~~~000

Bumblebee walked into the medibay. Ratchet had said a short visit. He was afraid of catching this illness. He felt bad for the ninja-bot. His thoughts wondered back to that mysterious bot. Who was he? What had he done exactly that got the dinobots mad? Questions filled his mind.

"Prowl, I don't know if this will help you or not. But I wanted to say sorry for being a brat all the time. I'm just used to always getting attention. My parents gave it to me all the time. Then my little brother was sparked. I hardly got any attention anymore. I felt so unloved. I ran away and joined up to become an Elite Guard. My parents thought that I had died when no traces of me could be found. In all honesty my real name isn't Bumblebee. I just named myself after the war veteran Bumblebee. My actual name is Goldfly. I had my body reformatted. I just couldn't take it," Bumblebee told. "I wrote a note and became a messenger for a while. I took it to my home and my dad opened the door. He called my mom and brother to the door when I said that I had urgent news concerning their missing son. I handed over the note I wrote and stood there as he read it. It really broke their sparks knowing that their first son was dead.

"I regretted it to this day. That was the last time I thought I would see my parents. I've seen my brother around a few times. He became a bodyguard to Ultra Magnus. A spy killed him when I went to deliver some datapads to Ultra Magnus. I told him my identity and all he did was hug me while cursing me for leaving and putting our parents in pain. I... I cried for forgiveness as he died in my arms. I went out and searched for my parents. My mother was being buried by the time I found them. My father didn't believe me and casted me aside. I ended up on Prime's team with shame and sorrow in my spark. Then we ran into you. I knew that you were the one. You loved nature and gave me attention. It may of been the wrong kind but I'm satisfied. Just please get better. Fight this for me... and for everyone else."

Bumblebee stroked Prowl's helm once before leaving. He didn't know that he was being watched. The spy cocked his head to the side slightly. That name sounded familiar from somewhere. He left when he heard the dinobots coming.

~~~ a few weeks later

"Come on Prowl, keep fighting this," Ratchet mumbled as he worked hard to jumpstart the spark.

The medic looked back at the flat line on the screen next to him. He sighed in relief when a spike appeared in the flat traveling line. Prowl's health had declined greatly since the dinobots brought him in. Bumblebee visited often and talked with the cyber-ninja, trying to wake him up. Ratchet took a drink of oil and studied Prowl's frame. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to save him. He prayed to Primus not to take the cyber-ninja.

~~~ that night

Bumblebee walked into the silent medibay. Sari was with Bulkhead at the moment. He just needed some time away. Prowl looked so peaceful in Bumblebee's mind.

"Prowl, please I think that you need to wake up now. Ratchet said that if you don't then he's just going to release your spark of pain. Just open your optics and everything will be alright. The dinobots really want to see you. They can't fit inside the medibay," Bumblebee chuckled. "I know that you've been fighting this. I'm just telling you that you need to wake up."

Nothing happened. Bumblebee pulled up a chair and sat next to the berth. He laid his head down at the edge and fell asleep.

Prowl groaned a few hours later. He onlined his optics to a dark medibay. At least there wasn't a really bright light shining in his face. Soft intakes cycled to his right. He turned to find Bumblebee sleeping next to him in a chair. Prowl smiled, having heard everything. But then he frowned. The last he remembered was being ambushed by a black mech. Then him telling Bumblebee to get him to Ratchet before being lifted by Grimlock. Then darkness.

Bumblebee shifted a bit before falling on the floor face first. The minibot awoke with a start. He looked around and heard soft laughter. He smiled when he recognized it. Bumblebee got up and hugged the bot upon the berth. Prowl was surprised by the act. He smiled nonetheless, glad to be feeling better.

"You woke up," Bumblebee said.

"Yes I did. I heard everything you said. Thank you Bumblebee for your kindness towards me," said Prowl. "I believe that it is late enough. Come up here. The chair or floor isn't the best place to sleep."

Bumblebee looked embarrassed for a moment. He nodded and climbed up. Prowl made room for the two of them. Together they fell asleep.

~~~000

Ratchet woke up with a groan. His back was starting to hurt again. Optimus was most likely in the main room since he wasn't in the berth. The medic got up and headed for a cube of medical grade Energon. After the cube was emptied he made his way to the medibay. He was surprised to see Bumblebee curled into Prowl's side. Ratchet left him be and started to update Prowl's datapad on his condition. Everything seemed to be looking fine. In fact it looked better then it had before.

"Ratchet," Prowl said as he looked to his left.

Ratchet freaked out at hearing the ninja-bot speaking to him. He clutched his stomach in pain. He knew what that meant. Ratchet steadied his breathing and leaned against one of the other berths. He contacted Optimus through the bond, telling him what was happening.

"Prowl, why don't you go calm those dinobots down. They have been needing to see you. Wake Bumblebee up too," said Ratchet.

"Alright. Bumblebee, time to get up," Prowl chided softly.

Bumblebee onlined his optics and sat up. He looked at Prowl before heading out with him. Optimus came in and helped his mate onto the berth. It was going to be a long sparking.

~~~000

Prowl walked outside and found the dinobots sleeping in a pile in robot mode. He smiled at the sight and walked up to them.

"Grimlock," Prowl called out.

The t-rex woke up and saw Prowl. He pushed the other two off of him and grabbed Prowl, holding him close. Swoop and Slag cheered when they saw Prowl awake. Grimlock nuzzled Prowl. A ship came into view and landed near them. The hatch opened and Jazz ran out. Prowl told Grimlock to let him go. He ran to Jazz, who swooped him up into his arms. Jazz kissed Prowl deeply after putting him down.

"Prowl love, are you alright? I felt you go silent through the bond. I couldn't feel anything," said Jazz.

"I'm fine Jazz. I'm alive," said Prowl.

"It should of killed him," someone whispered.

"Prowl honey, stay right here," said Jazz and ran off.

Prowl looked confused. The dinobots growled when they sensed someone. The gold and black mech was surprised by their actions. Jazz came back hauling the black mech from before. Bumblebee hummed as he studied the bot. He looked familiar.

"What are you doing here?" asked Bumblebee.

"I... uh... you see... I heard your story. I've been searching for answers. Your name sounds familiar to me," the mech admitted. "I talked to everybot I knew. No one knew anyone by the name of Goldfly. All the files said that he was dead. Then I went to my father for help and he told me that was my dead brother."

"Goldfly?" Jazz questioned. "That's the name of my brother's son."

"Then you know that his brother died at the hands of a spy while guarding Ultra Magnus," the mech said. "But the thing is that I never died. My body went into shut down mode. I had to be rebuilt by Perceptor and Wheeljack. I've been searching for my brother, knowing that he was somewhere. Your story triggered something. I was meant to be a weapon to destroy the Decepticons and Earth Autobots."

"What is your name?" asked Prowl.

"My name is Nightbug," the mech said.

~~~000

Ratchet cursed and shouted as the last sparkling made its way down. He had sparked the first two in record time. This one was taking its own precious time. Optimus caught the helm and helped the sparkling out. He smiled. It was another mech. That made two mechs and one femme. They all had the same color. It was hard to tell them apart from their red and white frames with blue highlights. Each one had a design on their back.

"Come, let's introduce the new members," said Optimus.

Ratchet nodded and got cleaned up. They went outside where the others were. The were surprised to find Bumblebee hugging a black mech and crying. Jazz held Prowl close and the dinobots stood nearby. Bulkhead and Sari saw the two first and smiled widely at the sight of the newest members.

"Autobots, I wish to introduce you to our newest members. The oldest mech is Turnit. The femme is Nightsky, and the last mech is Shard," Optimus said.

"You have an awesome family here Goldfly. I might just have to stay," said Nightbug.

"You had better. If not I'll use my speed to catch you and drag you back here," said Bumblebee.

Nightbug laughed at that. He tossed something to Prowl.

"Drink that up if you want to get better. I got to go," said Nightbug and raced off.

"You leave me no choice," Bumblebee growled and chased after his brother.
