Summary: Sari teaches Bumblebee about love and romance.

LESSON ON LOVE.

Bumblebee stood frozen in place after what Sari had said to him, his face redder than any object that was colored red. After a long 3 minutes, the bot shook his head to bring himself back to reality.

"Me? In love with Blinx? You can't be serious, Sari." He said to Sari.

"I'm not stupid, Bumblebee. I've known for a while that you were beginning to develop feelings for her, I just thought you'd realize it on your own." Sari replied.

"Me and Blinx are just friends, there's no way I'd be in love with her."

"Ok. If your not in love with Blinx, then what's really wrong with you?"

Bumblebee then stared at her with an uneasy expression, completely stuck on how to answer her question. He knew it was clear that he had no answer, and by the way Sari was looking at him, it was obvious she knew it too. After not thinking of a comeback to save his butt, Bumblebee hung his head low and sighed in defeat.

"So it's true then?" Sari asked, smirking.

"I don't know, Sari. I've never experienced these feelings before and I'm so confused, I don't know what to do." Bumblebee moaned.

"You mean you've never been attracted to a girl before?"

The yellow bot didn't reply, he didn't even look at her, he just kept staring at the ground in dismay. The techno organic looked at him with an expression of sympathy, Bumblebee was clearly frustrated with these new feelings and had no idea how to handle it. She then decided that it was time he needed some lessons on love and romance.

"Hey, don't mope like that, Bumblebee. I can help you get her attention."

Bumblebee then directed his attention towards her, his optics showing a shimmer of wishfulness.

"Y-You can?"

"Sure I can, but first you need to know the basics of the birds and the bees before we can start."

"What do birds and bugs have to do with this?"

"No, that's a figure of speech, I'm talking about boys, girls, and their…"special" relations."

At first, Bumblebee had no idea what Sari meant by that, that was until the little wheels in his head started to turn. His face then turned a darker red and his left optic began to twitch, Sari then realized this was gonna be a lot harder than she thought.

The two sat in Sari's room, looking at the book that Bumblebee was given. Both their faces were red and their eyes wide as they read every detail and picture on the pages. After reading the last page, Sari closed the book and slid it over to the edge of her bed. The two friends sat in awkward silence for a good minute and a half before deciding to move forward.

"Ok, now that we've got…that, out of the way, let's get down to business." The girl said.

When she noticed Bumblebee was still in an awkward daze, she smacked him in the head, bringing him back to reality. After that, she got out some For Dummies books with love and romance titles.

"Ok, if you really want to get a girl to notice you, then you must know the basics of love and romance." Sari explained.

She then opened the book and began showing some illustrations to Bumblebee.

"For example, this girl is showing playful behavior towards this boy, this is known as flirting. When someone flirts with you, it shows that they're trying to get your attention by doing this.

These two are holding each others hands and hugging, these are the basics of touching one another in a romantic way. These two are sitting side by side, the boy's hand is over the girl's, and they're making eye contact in a deep intimate way. This is known as chemistry, when the mutual sense of attraction between a boy and a girl react."

"Will this help me get her attention?" Bumblebee asked.

"How should I know? I'm just teaching you these things. Now on to the symbols."

For the next hour and a half, Sari explained the tips, hints, ground rules, and anything else that the books provided and Bumblebee's processor absorbed every little detail like a sponge. This was probably the first time that Sari saw Bumblebee paying attention to anything educational, probably cuz he was so determined to achieve his goal in winning over Blinx. After a while longer, the lessons were finished.

"Ok, now you're ready to use what you've learned." The girl said to her bot pal.

"Thanks, Sari. Now I have the confidence I need to get Blinx to notice my love for her and win her heart!" Bumblebee said with firey enthusiasm.

"…Just don't try too hard."

With that, the yellow bot left the room and headed out the tower. Knowing that the others were wondering where he was, Bumblebee thought it was about time to head on home, having a strong enthusiastic smile on his face knowing his goal was just beyond the horizon.
