Chapter 2: Familiar
After meeting them, they all went over to Optimus' house in the basement where there was a new 60 inch TV, every game system, and huge couches and chairs. Optimus and Megatron had just the previous day customized it. The walls were painted blue with red stripes. The floor and ceiling were Silver and gray. Optimus and Bee pounced on the couches. Soundwave and Starscream sat in the chairs. And Shockwave, Barricade and Makeshift sat down on another couch nearbye. Bee looked over at the new bots, then looked at Optimus.
"Optimus, why do they look so familiar?" Bee asked with his head tilted to the side.
"I never seen them, but apparently Starscream and Shockwave have." Optimus said shrugging.
"It's like I have seen someone like them when I was little. It could have been them." Bee said.
"Don't you think they would have recognized you?" Optimus looking back at the two.
"I guess. "sigh" If only I could find out." Bee said. Then he got an idea. "I will ask Starscream."
"Ask me what?" Starscream asked walking over.
"Did I ever know those two?" Bee asked pointing to the new bots making sure they weren't looking.
Starscream's optics widened a bit, he looked as if he stabbed himself. Starscream couldn't come up with the right words to say what he wanted to say. He sat down beside Bee.
"Well...kinda...not really...but trust me, they know you way more than you know them." Starscream said looking straight into Bee's surprised optics.
Optimus was surprised at this. Yet so confused. What did he mean by them knowing Bee more than he knew them? He wanted to find out but felt it was none of his business. Bee was as surprised as he was. Just then Barricade and Makeshift came towards them.
"Hey guys, want to see where we live now?" Makeshift asked.
"Sure!" Optimus said a little nervous.
A few streets over stood their new houses. They were big and both were two floor houses like everyone elses. Optimus and Bee were impressed.
"I believe this was the best decesion we ever made." Makeshift said with a smile on his face.
"We think so too!" Bee said forgetting all about earlier.
Later that day, Bee was in his room now remembering everything that had happened that day. He was still puzzeled. He layed there on his bed staring at the ceiling.
"Why do they seem so familiar? I can't seem to remember! Do they remember me? So many questions in my head." Bee complained grabbing his head and shaking it. He shook so hard he fell of the bed onto all fours.
"I need some fresh air!" Bee said scrambling out of his room, down the stairs and out the door.
He ran awhile not knowing where exactly he was going to end up. He just happen to look back for a second and then run straight into a passing by Knock Out.
"WATCH THE PAINT!" he growled.
"Sorry Knock Out, I am just having a difficult day right now!" Bee said.
"Why?"
"Well, for some reason Makeshift and Barricade look like people I have seen before but I can't really tell." Bee said.
Knock Out froze with an "OH SCRAP" look on his face. Bee noticed this and was concerned.
"Knock Out you okay?" Bee asked putting a servo on his friend's shoulder.
"Dude, I...shouldn't talk about it." Knock Out said looking down.
"Huh?" Bee said confused.
"Dude, I hate to tell you this, but...you're on your own about that!" Knock Out said almost sounding like a zombie.
Bee was surprised as Knock Out who didn't say another thing and walked right passed him sighing.
"On my own?" Bee said turning to the racing away Knock Out. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN ON MY OWN?" he yelled after Knock Out, but he was far away.
Bee sighed and thought mabye he should just stop asking questions and just deal with it. He felt a little better after making this decesion. He went to the library for some peace and quiet only to find Barricade there. He was looking through a shelf of books when he spotted Bee trying to creep away.
"Hey Bee what's up?" Barricade asked coming over to him.
"Uh hey Barricade!" Bee asked nervously.
"You look scared!" Barricade said in a soft tone.
"Oh I'm not!" Bee said quickly.
Barricade could easily see he was and saw that his legs were shaking nervously. Barricade smiled.
"You know you can talk to me or Makeshift if you're concerned about something right?" Barricade asked gently placed a clawed-servo on Bee's shoulder. This made Bee want to smile a bit.
"Th-th-thanks!" Bee said.
He wanted to ask him all the questions he had stuffed in his prossesor, but waited for another time. He realized they actually cared about him. This gave a clue to one of the questions. "Do they treat me as if they were my brothers?" The answer was yes! Bee's spark warmed up a bit. Barricade went back to looking at books while Bee went looking around himself. Little did he know, Soundwave was nearbye and had seen the whole thing. If he had a face it would show a very concerned look.
"Bee, you are coming a little closer to something that will change your life forever!" Soundwave said to himself.
