The first thing Bumblebee saw when he awoke was a human (as he recalled them being named), no bigger than himself with a brown-colored protoform and two shades of orange thin armor on most of its body sans the head that had a red helm and reddish brown optics, staring at him in wonder.

On instinct, he ran. Letting out a squeal for his caretakers, he darted away to hide behind a vase holding a small plant. He curled into a ball and placed his tiny servos over his own optics while still giving terrified squeaks.

The human got closer, laughing at his behavior. He stopped his cries and frowned. What was so funny? He didn't think it was funny, whatever it was. As the creature peeked around the vase, he retreated around it to stay on the opposite side of it. It giggled again.

Irritably, the baby glanced back around and tried to roar at the being…only succeeding in making it fall over laughing like a hyena-con. Out of sheer stubbornness, the sparkling came into full view, dragging his palms on the ground ready to charge. The creature apparently caught on what he planned to do and positioned itself to accommodate his stance. Then he pounced.

Lowering his helm to ram the oppressor, he increased his speed as did his unusual playmate. Both clashed head to head but since his opponent seemed to be not made of the same materials as himself, it went flying. He himself landed on his aft rather hard. Holding back pained tears, he rubbed his helm. But as he peered towards his adversary, he heard sniffling.

Curiously, Bee moved toward the origin of the noise and saw that the creature was hurt itself as tears rolled down its cheeks. The baby felt glad but also sad at the same time. For a second, he just stood still as it wept. Its moans filled the room, making him feel unhappy even more. He thought briefly before smiling, waddling on all fours to the side of the creature who looked at him with uncertainty.

Nudging it with his head he buzzed gleefully, licking the tears off its faceplates before curling around in its lap. He was startled temporarily when the creature's arms wrapped around him in what he assumed was its version of a hug. Slowly, the baby began to broaden his grin at his predicament as he saw the human's own expression brighten. Both laughed and pawed at one another, occasionally slipping out of the other's grasp to gently wrestle the opposing.

Judging by how the human was in personality, it gave the impression that it too was a sparkling like Bumblebee. And that made it even grander in the baby's opinion. Another thing he observed was that the human sparkling had more of a femme appearance. Hopefully, it wouldn't mind being recognized as a "she".

Both suddenly perked up when they heard a deeper chuckle near them. Bee's caretakers, Megatron and Ultra Magnus were together lying on their fronts side by side watching the two younglings play. Bumblebee screeched in delight at their presence, running on all fours to the Magnus' awaiting servos. He slammed a little harder than he anticipated into the larger mech's white thumbs but nevertheless cuddled them as he was held.

Megatron rubbed his helm against the sparkling's just as happily before lifting his own to brush against Ultra's. Surprisingly, the Magnus returned the gesture, purring as the grey mech leaned his helm on the other's cheek.

The baby looked back down at his new friend and noticed the human seemed a bit uncomfortable. Smile fading, he whined in her direction. He patted the edge of the mech's left servo invitingly. Peering up at his caretaker, he saw the blue leader return his grin before he felt himself being lowered. Bumblebee jumped up and down right before the human flew at him, knocking him over but squeezing him tightly in another hug.

Both felt themselves leaving the ground as the two leaders kept the sparklings in their now-intertwined hands, protected and loved.

AN: I'll give you three guesses on who that human is...and the first two don't count. Finally decided to introduce Sari although, of course, Bee doesn't necessarily know what her name is at this time. Also decided to make Ultra Magnus and Megatron a couple just 'cause why not?
