"Hey Prowl, We're gonna go swimming, wanna come?" Bumblebee asked, with a sports bag over his back. I gulped.

"I apologise, Bumblebee, but I cannot accompany you to the Leisure Center."

"Awww but Prooowllll...."

I shook my head, and Bumblebee shrugged, waving a goodbye, as he also left to take a taxi to the swimming 'baths'. There was, obviously, a way for me to go whilst my Aunt was visiting, so I went to the bathroom and with the small materialistic 'cone' I performed unspeakable, painful attempts. After a megacycle, I gave up, and exited the bathroom, defeated by something an inch and a half in size. Tiredly, I made my slow, pained journey to my quarters, where I sat in my tree, defeated.

I had decided to meditate for a while, steering the mundane thoughts of being a female human away into the backs of my mind. So, when Bumblebee busted in through my door, I looked at the clock. I had been meditating for three megacycles. I climbed down from my tree, and left to research human females in more depth by using Optimus' computer. I stumbled across a challenge called the 'Google Q&A'. You had to type in your name into the computer and write down what kind of results you got. So, I typed in 'Prowl'. I got several pages from Deviantart. So, forgetting the quiz, I clicked. There were beautifully sketched and coloured images of me. So, I went to the DeviantArt search engine, and typed in 'Autobots'.

I gaped awkwardly at the endless pages of fan art of me and my team members on the website 'Deviantart'. Then I called in Sari to take a look.

"Oh yeah, that's called 'fan art'. When people love love lovey love you guys, they draw pictures of you. But whatever you do, don't type in two people's names with an X between them!!"

"..Why not?" I asked her.

"Because something bad happens!"

"Like..?"

"Like--" She began until we heard a sudden cry.

"SARI!!"

"Oop, sorry, Bumblebee wants me. We're gonna go play DDR. Wanna try?" She said, moving to exit the room.

"No thanks, i'm going to continue my searches online."

"Oh okay then, bye." And she skipped off. I turned back to the search engine and replaced 'Autobots' with 'Prowl x Bumblebee'. I believed that the 'X' was what the humans called a 'plus'. Or so I can remember. I waited patiently for the pge to load, which it did. And then suddenly a world of strange things appeared on the screen. I clicked the x button on the internet tab, and then commanded the computer to offline itself, and quickly left to my quarters to meditate those strange thoughts away.

I woke up in the middle of the night in excruciating pain in my lower torso. I clutched close to my hips. It felt almost like I was urinating the blood out of my systems. So, fearing I was going to soak the branches of my tree in female blood, I jumped out of the tree and hurtled to the bathroom. I sat down and yanked down my lower garments to find only patronising, small, but incredibly thick, drops of blood. I scowled, disposing of the bloody Aunt-Tissue into the toilet after wrapping it in toilet paper. The pain came back shortly after, so I clutched my stomach yet again. The blood flow had recently gotten a lot heavier, and I felt terrible. So I changed the tissue, flushed the toilet, washed my hands, and then walked steadily to Ratchet's med bay, where I took his 'Guide to female humans' off the shelf, and whisked it back to my quarters, where I had a very lengthy read of it. But luckily, after a few more Earth days, the blood which escaped into the water bowl disappeared. I have never felt so relieved, but, regardless, I wore one of those Aunt tissues in my underwear for a while after.

I sat at the top of the dangerously thin pole atop the large play center calmly. We'd taken Sari there for the day and I was just enjoying myself by watching the human sparklings. Bumblebee was acting like a sparkling himself. Or should I say 'Jake'? Over the last night we'd decided to name each other. Optimus was dubbed 'Brandy', Ratchet would be 'Steven', Bulkhead would be 'Ryan', and my name is 'Ecko'. And obviously, Bumblebee's was 'Jake'. Eitherways, the ex-yellow mech was sliding down the slides and running around, despite being much bigger and older than the other children. Sari was having fun too, shouting about how her friend Jake would 'destroy them in a video game if anyone dared cross her'. So, bored, I put my hands on the pole, swung over and down and walked over to stand with 'Jake' and Sari.

"Oh hey Geko," Bumblebee teased with the old joke once more.

"It's Ecko."

"Same thing."

This argument lasted a little longer, and during that time I noticed a large child with very slippery fingers, soaked from ice cream or something ridiculously slippery climb up a ladder, and then make his way across the high 'monkey bars', as they are called. Bumblebee observed my line of sight.

"I bet you can't make it across, Ecko." Bumblebee dared.

"B-- Jake, i'm a n--..Black belt. I can do it. But a child has--"

"Go on then if you're so smart!" Bumblebee said, shoving me to and up the ladder.

"But the child--"

"No buts. You arn't allowed to say a peep until you make it to the other side."

So, me being me, I made it across the bars. Then just to prove my point I went back out into the middle and puleld myself through the top, and then stood ontop of it. It was only when I looked down to smugly grin at Bumblebee when I noticed he had disappeared.

"BANG!!!!" He yelled right in my ear, having clambered up next to me. I jumped, which caused me to stand on a slippery pole. I began to teeter. The grin on Bumblebee's face dropped to a sudden panicked expression.

"PROWL!!!" He yelled out to me, reaching for my hand, which, I did reach for, but I fell. And without the grips for my shoes or legs, I was unable to perform some stunt to save myself. I fell faster than I should have, and it was all over in a matter of seconds. I'd landed right on my arm, from trying to save myself. I heard a disgusting small cracking noise from my upper arm, and layed there for a while. When the blood began to pour out of my arms and dribble everywhere, soiling my clothes, I began to feel sick, and then very woozy. I felt the stuff. It was much thicker than energon, and the feeling was disgusting. I heard more shouts of my name, and I turned to look at them through my sunglasses, but then my head began so light, and my eyes rolled up and backwards, and then I heard nothing.

I was brought back by a worried voice calling my name.

"Prowl? Prowl? Are you with us?"

I groaned in response, and opened an eye. I noticed my sunglasses her vanished. I was also in oddly comfortable, slightly baggy clothes. I looked up, to find the very concerned face of my leader, Optimus Prime.

"Optimus..." I blundered, calling my leader by his 'first' name for the first time in a while. "How long..Have I been in statis lock?" I felt very deluded and almost like the room was spinning.

"A good long time..Prowl? Prowl?!" I felt my eyes shut themselves again. I heard Optimus shouting for Ratchet. I woke up yet again a little while later, and I had a terrible headache. I was alone, except for a small sleeping friend of mine in a chair right next to my bedsit.

"..Bumblebee.." I whispered. "Bumblebee...Bumblebee!" Eventually, he awoke.

"Huh wha?? Prowl!! Primus, Prowl!! What happened back there? You just fell off and smacked your head and your arm made this GROSS sound! And then blood spilled EVERYWHERE! Are you okay?"

"I've been better.." I muttered. "What happened after I went out?"

"Not much, just everyone was panicking and such, y'know." I sighed.

There were quite a few moments of silence between us. Bumblebee spoke first.

"I was really worried, Prowl," I looked to him. "I thought you might have gone offline."

"Don't worry, Bumblebee. I shall hopefully be online for a much longer time."

"......I'm sorry, Prowl." Bumblebee looked down, in guilt. "It was my fault you fell."

"Bumblebee, nothing was your fault. It was an accident - We all have them. I simply fell off for not being more alert, and arrogantly showing off."

"...But anyway, I want to repay you back. Y'know....For before."
