Okay people, I promise this chapter will be full of fluff as you get to see KnockOut and Bumblebee become friends...Or maybe more ;)
Back At the Base...
"What do you mean?" Bumblebee asked nonchalant, but his mind was racing. I hope I can pass this one, Bumblebee wondered...
"You know exactly what I mean. You didn't even try hit that red con. He shock you or something?" Smokescreen asked, nearing Bumblebee a little.
"Hey!" Arcee cut in,"Leave him alone Smokescreen. Bumblebee wouldn't hesitate at all..."
She looked over at Bumblebee,"...Right?"
Bumblebee nodded," Of course I wouldn't hesitate. He just got me first, that's all.' He said, lying to them both. The subject ened there...for now.
Later that week...
Bumblebee went flying past KnockOut and won for the third time. It was great giving the Con some humility because he didn't take it too well.
He came driving up and transformed, "Well at least I didn't ruin my paint."
Bumblebee also transformed," Just admit it KnockOut, I'm faster than you."
"Let's just say my paint's better than your. Come on, we need to do it again." KnockOut said, turning toward the road again.
Bumblebee smiled,"Oh and what? Me win again? Come one, it's getting boring."
"We do it until I win. I'm not going to lose to a-a an Autobot!" KnockOut said indignantly.
Bumblebee laughed," Fine, but I'm telling you..."
And they both transformed, ready for the race again. KnockOut hit his engine first and went squealing off.
"Hey!" And Bumblebee started after him.
KnockOut was in the lead, but Bumblebee was closing in fast. The both took a corner and KnockOut almost spun out, making a way fro Bumblebee. Now back on a straight road, Bumblebee was ahead and thought to himself, Like I said-
But KnockOut had picked up the pace and was now right next to him.
"So long Bug!" and he let out his last burst of speed, and he flew past the finish line. They made a small tree there marker.
KnockOut transformed and smiled and said, in an arrogant way," See? I knew I could do it."
Bumblebee transformed as well, and rolled his optics,"Oh come on, that was one race you won."
KnockOut waved his servo,"Like it matters."
Bumblebee felt tired of KnockOut's attitude,"I'm tired of racing."
KnockOut looked off into space and said,"Yeah, me too."
Bumblebee looked toward where KnockOut was looking and just saw a sunset. It was starting to get dark, and the whole sky was filled with pinks, reds and purples.
"You like sunsets?" KnockOut said, surprising Bumblebee.
Bumblebee looked at it," Yes. I like them. I watch them sometimes when I get the time."
KnockOut sat down and just stared at it. After a while Bumblebee sat too, but not very close the Con. That would have been just plain weird.
"I used to watch them all the time." KnockOut said, breaking the silence.
That sorta surprised the Autobot. He just thought of the Decepticon as cold hearted killers, but listening to KnockOut, he wasn't to sure anymore.
"I'm actually kinda surprised." Bumblebee said.
KnockOut looked over at Bumblebee,"And what makes you say that?"
"Well," Bumblebee started," I wouldn't expect a Decepticon like you to watch a sunset."
KnockOut looked away," Well, I used too. Like I ever do that now..."
"But we are here right now watching one." Bumblebee buzzed.
KnockOut looked up and smiled toward the sunset,"Yes, I guess we are."
Bumblebee was surprised once again. KnockOut's smile was very...not scary, but...Sweet.
They both stayed there watching the sunset until it disappeared. They were now covered by the light from the stars.
KnockOut got up," I should go before they find out I'm gone."
Bumblebee nodded,"Same."
Bumblebee turned away, but was stopped by a servo on his shoulder.
Bumblebee looked back and found KnockOut looking at him.
"Yes?" Bumblebee hummed.
"Thank you for staying with me Bumblebee. I can't remember the last time I actually watched a sunset..."
Bumblebee laid his ow servo onto KnockOut's," Anytime."
KnockOut smiled, and let go of Bumblebee,"See you around, Auto-Bug." and he transformed and left.
It has been such a great day!
He got back to base, and no one questioned him. It only Ratchet there and he didn't seem to mind. Bumblebee went to his room and laid on his berth, thinking of the episodes that just went by.
What was he doing?! He couldn't like a decepticon, or even worse...love...
Bumblebee sighed. He shouldn't be meeting KnockOut, but...but...it was great! He liked racing with the red con, he liked talking with him and liked his company.
After a few moments, Bumblebee shut down and had dreams of KnockOut, and how he loved those dreams...
