The mad ramblings of a transformers fan Chapter 2, a transformers/beast wars fanfic

Katie was screaming, until a strangly familiar voice told her to calm down. She blinked, to see Cougar's hologram, naked and beautiful standing infront of her, with an older, taller man with sandy blonde hair and piercing blue eyes beside him, also naked. Both of them looked down at her with concern. C...Cougar? Yeah... EWWWWW PUT SOME CLOTHES ON! She shrieked. We do not have any clothes, the older man stated calmly. O...Optimus? She whispered, recognizing his voice. Yes. He met her eyes with his own piercing blue ones. Are you alright Katie? Am I... Dreaming? If you are, Cougar said, so are we. Ratchet has gone to find the others, Optimus said gently. We will find out what has happened. I need you to trust us. Can you do that? Both Cougar and Optimus watched me carefully. Y...Yes... I... But... Optimus... I saw you die... She burst into tears, images of his broken body sliding to the floor filling her head. Yes, my spark was shattered. He said it so calmly. I wonder... If this is the Matrix. I blinked as he looked at Cougar thoughtfully. What...Whats the Matrix? The humans refer to it as heaven. Cougar said softly. You mean... Optimus and Cougar looked at me sadly and Optimus said softly. I am sorry...I failed you both. He stared at the put his hand on Optimus's shoulder. We knew the risks when we signed up Optimus. I do not believe we have joined the matrix said a familair voice. Katie looked up to see an older man with graying black hair and the same piercing blue eyes as Cougar and Optimus enter, followed by Jazz's tall black man hologram, and a tall blonde haired guy built like rambo and a scrawny naked version of Orlando Bloom. R...Ratchet? That is correct Katie, this is Jazz, Ironhide and Bumblebee. He motioned with his hand. Wazzup? Iron said. Y...Your...Human... Yeah, wicked huh? Bee blurted out. I blinked. You can talk. I know! He exclaimed, with a grin that looked wide enough to rip his face in half. As I was saying, Ratchet continued. I do not believe we have joined the matrix. But we are definatly, not the same. As far as I can tell, we have become human. The autobots turned human looked at eachother. So, Jazz said softly. What the fuck do we do now?

To Katie's suprise, a female answered the phone. Hello? Um... Hi... Is Sam there? Yeah, who's calling? Katie... Oh hi! The female voice on the other line said cheerfully. Im Mikaela, Sam's wife. Optimus told us about you. How you doing? Well... Im ok I guess, can I talk to Sam? She asked. Oh, sure. Hello? SAM! I... Its Katie.I was... She was cut off as Bee grabbed the phone. SAM! Yeah... Who is this? He said as Katie grabbed the phone back. That was Bumblebee, Katie said, trying to keep the phone away from Bee's grabbing hands. Sam was silent for a minute. Bumblee got his voice back? He got more then that back. Look, do you know where the base is? Yeah... Is Bee comin to get me? Im afraid... He cant do that right now. Do you have your own car? Yeah, I can take Mikaela's, whats wrong with Bee? Thats something better explained by him... Just get here ok? Ok, I'll be there soon. Hanging up the phone, she listened to Optimus scolding Bee, who was looking like a chastized little kid and sighed. This was gonna be fun.

Everyone turned at the sound of Sam dropping his cell phone. Sam. Optimus said gently. Ok... Whats going on and where are the autobots? Sam asked Katie, eyeing the naked men sitting in a circle on the floor of the medbay. Bee grinned, Iron and Jazz exchanged glances and Optimus stood up. We are right here Sam, Optimus said. Hi Sam! Bee said eagerly. Sam's eyes rolled back into his head and he hit the floor.

Sam. Please wake up. My scanners are offline and I am worried about you. Sam, please. Sam opened his eyes, moaning as a wave of dizziness hit him. Ratchet? What... You fainted Sam. It was then he noticed that Ratchet's voice was coming out of a middle aged man with greying black hair, who just happened to be wearing no clothing. Easy Sam. Optimus's voice. Less metalic, but definatly Optimus's voice. What... What happened? The naked men looked at eachother, before Bee piped up. We got humanized!

Ok. So. First things first, they need clothing. Sam said. Then we figure out what happened. Katie nodded. Sam got on the phone, talking to Mikaela and told her to bring a measuring tape and every artical of clothing in his closet. It was than Katie noticed Cougar sitting by himself, watching her intently. He looked away when she met his gaze. She walked over and sat next to him. Cougar? Yes... He said softly. Whats wrong? He looked up and to her suprise, his cheeks were red. I was simply... Nothing, nevermind. He returned his gaze to his lap. She reached out and touched his shoulder. Cougar... He looked up. Its nothing. It was then she noticed all five of the autobots were watching them both.He met her eyes. Come with me, he said suddenly, grabbing her hand and dragging her out of the medbay.

Cougar what is it? Katie was worried. He looked, almost upset. He turned suddenly, meeting her eyes. Would you hate me, if I told you that you are the most beautiful person I have ever met? She blinked, stunned. He almost looked ready to cry. As an autobot, I passed it off as foolish and ignored it... I realize I am just a car to you. There could never be anything but friendship between us and I am lucky for that. But now...Somehow, now that I am human, something beats inside my chest, as if it was going to break through and fly away... every time I look at you and I feel as if I am going to explode into a thousand sparks and scatter across the universe when you say my name. I thought I had lost you forever and I felt empty and broken. I cannot face that again, without knowing that you know how I feel about you Katie. He stared at the floor, expecting her to laugh at him. Cougar... She whispered softly.You will never be... Just a car to me... He looked up, just as she leaned forward, wrapping her arms around him and resting her head on his chest, blinking at the strange tightness between his legs, he gently returned the hug. Mommy look! That mans got no clothes on! Blinking both Katie and Cougar turned to look as a very tall, slender woman with black hair and a little girl with curly brown hair and freckles who stood there, staring. The woman covered the little girls eyes and scowled. Uh...Mikaela... Cougar stuttered. The woman's eyes widened. Cougar? Katie looked up at him as he turned beet red. Hi... She said, stepping infront of him to sheild his nudity from the child. Im Katie... This is... Um... Cougar Mikaela finished for her. Cougar stared at the floor. So... Sam wasnt kidding... Mikaela held out a pile of clothes. See if these fit. Cougar looked at them confused. Katie grabbed them and set to work showing Cougar how to dress himself.

Three weeks later

Ratchet was sitting infront of the new computer system they had purchased with the 800,000 dollars Cougar had gotten for Katie, studying neurological disorders intently when Bumblebee burst into medbay. The old medic grinned. Whats wrong with you now Bee? Did you burp again? No... I think...I think Cougar has a virus! Ratchet turned around. Symptoms? Well... He never wants to do anything but hang out with Katie... Ratchet smirked, having noticed this himself. And he's happy all the time... And this morning? He bit her! Right on the mouth! Ratchet chuckled. That is not a virus Bumblebee, adleast not one any medic can cure. Is he going to... Shut down? Ratchet laughed. No. He's in love. Love? Yes. Its what happens, when two sparks are drawn to eachother. You mean, lifesparks? Bee asked with wide eyes, refering to process in which two autobots connected their sparks together as a sign of eternal devotion. Yes, if the bond becomes that strong. Bumblebee sat on the edge of the stasis bed in medbay and thought about it, almost looking depressed. Bumblebee, what is happening between Cougar and Katie is a perfectly healthy relationship. You neednt be concerned. Ratchet? The old medic looked up at him. Have you ever been inlove? Ratchet looked away. Yes. Bee got excited. Who?! I do not want to talk about it Ratchet said, causing Bumblebee to blink at the sadness in his voice. What happened? Ratchet sighed. I have work to do. Ratchet! Bumblebee, I do not want to talk about it. Surely you have something better to do. Go outside. I hear sunlight is good for humans. But I... No buts. Off with you. Bumblebee looked hurt as he turned and trudged out. Closing his eyes for a moment, Ratchet sighed and turned back to the computer infront of him.

Cougar was currently enjoying being inlove, by laying out under the stars with the girl that had wormed her way into his spark resting her head against his chest, thinking about how much he enjoyed human sex when the familiar sound of jetfire knocked him out of the bliss that an hour of lovemaking had put him in. I love you Katie, he whispered, running his fingers through her hair, just as all hell broke loose...
