Dangerous Ride

There was nothing Bumblebee wouldn't do to save Raf, he was his guardian after all. His mission was to protect him at all costs, even if it meant to trust those they shouldn't. It could sound like a bad idea, but sometimes the worst idea can be the best one, because nothing really looks like what it really is.

It's been a while since I last had a look at my old fanfic folder and after going over it I found this among them, my very first completed fanfic. I wrote it years ago, but back then I didn't even think about publishing it, so it got into the folder. In few times, I have even considered to rewrite it as it came back to my mind, but since it was the first one, I liked how it was written at that time, and it brought me many memories back, I left it the way it was.

Only thing left to say, hope you like it!

Enjoy!

It was like any other day when Bumblebee entered the Outpost Omega One. He had just returned from his patrol shift, and he was looking forward his next plan. Due to his scout duties, he couldn't have picked Raf up from school. Even though his partner in crime wasn't there yet, they would be soon on their way, ready to have some fun.

A horn took him out of his thoughts as Bulkhead arrived. Miko got out first, with her guitar in hands, and Raf exited more calmly, but as soon as he saw him, he ran towards his guardian. He hugged the awaiting hand of Bumblebee, leaving the bag on the ground.

*Ready, Raf?* The yellow scout asked grinning under his mouth mask.

"Sure!" The kid answered, taking his bag from the floor. "'Bee, I got a new car model. You will like it!" His optics shone in excitement.

The scout transformed and opened the passenger door to let Raf sit at the back. The kid put his seatbelt on, and the car drove off the base.

Once they were on the road, the kid took his new yellow toy car out and showed it to the cybertronian. "I saw this Urbana 500 model in a shop a week ago, and I thought it really was gorgeous. My eldest sister bought it for me as a gift, it was a surprise!" He looked down, admiring the toy. "As soon as I got it into my hands, I added the black decals." Raf grinned side to side. "I wanted it to look like you."

*You were right, it's gorgeous. I really like it.* Bumblebee beeped tenderly. *Thank you, Raf.*

They crossed the immense reddish desert of Nevada. Rafael loved it, since Bumblebee drove slow. It made it possible to admire the landscape, not like when he was in his family car. His parents used to rush every time they went late somewhere, and that was almost always.

They soon saw the green sign welcoming them to Jasper. They would soon cross the town and arrive their destination. The kid was looking forward to it. Bumblebee was the only one who truly understood him, and his friend could give hours looking at him play without getting bored, not like people around him. He did also tell him good stories about his adventures, and Raf imagined what it would have been like being there.

The scout drove out of the road, as they arrived to their destination, the place where they had met the first time. It was a good place, since it was hidden from curious people, and Bumblebee could be himself. Raf got out, and his friend transformed into his robot mode.

The kid put the new toy on the ground and made it move. It was fast and awesome, it really looked like his guardian in action. They played for hours, having fun, but without knowing they were being observed.
