Sam closed his eyes for a minute "This is not really, oh lord" he thought to himself. He opened his eyes to see Ericka standing right in front of him.
"umm..you ok?" She asked, a little worried.
"yea yea" Sam said, he looked behind her, a robot was standing with its hands on its hips. Its head was leaning in as if it was trying to see if he was ok. It looked a lot like Bee, but had a bigger chest plate and smaller build around the middle. Sam looked at it for a long time.
"Is he ok" came a sweet female voice from the robot. It was a young but mature sounding.
"I think so, you think he would be use to it now" Ericka said, feeling Sam's forehead.
" No, I'm fine. Just shocked, I mean I thought Prime and them were the last autobots" Sam stopped and looked at The female robot "you are a autobot, right?"
"of curse, and wait did you say Prime? As in Optimus Prime?" Her blue eyes widen.
"yea?" Sam said
"Is Bumblebee here with him and the others?" she said walking closer to Sam. Sam looked at Ericka who was sitting next to him just listening. Then he got up and took two steps closer to the bot.
"who are you? How do you know Bee and Prime?" Sam asked putting his hands across his chest.
" I am Honeybee, and I know Bumblebee since we were given our sparks. Bee, as you call him, was to be my spark mate. Only because me and him were and still are the only two Bee bots left." She said like a speech.
"Bee bots? Are you making this up?" Sam said looking to Ericka but she shook her head no. Sam looked to honeybee again.
Honeybee rolled her eyes "NO!" she turned around and showed him her small wings, Bee had the same ones. " different kinds of bots have markings or something to show who they are. Bee and I have the wings, so they call us bee bots."
Sam thought for a minute "ok, what is prime's markings?"
"symbols of the primes, duh" Honeybee said. Sam thought back to when those symbols were in his head. He blinked some to stop thinking about it.
"ok I get it. So anyways back to you and bee…" Sam wanted to hear more.
"yes well, we were all born during the war with the Decepticons . So Bee went to join Optimus prime for training. After word of Megatron's death, Bee was coming home. But when more word that the all spark was still on earth, Bee can't come home Because Primes team was the only team left . So we are the lasted." she put her head down, Sadness took over her face. She changed the subject " I'm guessing that's when they found you. When I got word from a message sent from earth that was sent from Prime, I came here, only find more Decepticons. I have been looking for them since then. I couldn't find their spark signal." Honeybee looked down sadly again.
"well, it's a good thing you don't cuz the Decepticons would have gotten you. But you found them now." Sam looked at them with a great big smile. Then he looked to Ericka "how did you guys meet?"
Ericka walked over to Sam " I went to the forest one day, and saw a car in the field with a "for sale" sign on it and under that It said 'please just take it, I don't need it' so I took it. Couple days later I was driving to my grandpas house and we ran into a Decepticon. So you can guess the rest."
" the other night, me and bee pasted you guys. It looked like you were attacked or something" Sam said still locked on Ericka now.
"Well, we were attacked by a small Decepticon. That attacked her, and by the time I got to her it cut on her face" Sam and honeybee looked at Ericka's cut. Ericka just looked down. " It poked a hole in my tire" honeybee looked down at her leg where a tire was resting. Sam walked over to her and looked closely at it.
"I got a new tire that will work on you. If you want to bring her to my house so I can work on it." Sam looked at Ericka with a grin.
" Sure, anything to help my girlfriend and hang out with my new best friend" Ericka said walking up to Sam and putting a arm around his neck. Honeybee giggled some, then turned into car mode. Ericka and Sam got in.
" oh crap, I got to make a call really fast" Sam said, looking at Ericka sweet baby face. She looked back at him with her cute smile. In that moment Sam really saw how beautiful Ericka really was. They fell into a deep thought as they gazed into each others eyes. Ericka broke from his gaze.
" who do you need to call?" she asked now looking down at her hands.
Sam looked down at them too and laugh a little " Bumblebee, he is looking for me, have a feeling."
He took out his phone, and pushed 2 on speed dial. " Hey bee, I'm on my way, ill be there soon…be careful" Sam said. After hanging up Sam looked around " Bee sounded worried, I bet he was looking for me for an hour, I could hear his engine in the back, He was going pretty fast"
"sounds like bee, he has to make sure everyone is ok" Honeybee said, if you could see her in car mode she would be smiling.
In no time they pulled up to Sam's house "wow, nice house" Ericka said looking around "nice place for autobots to hang out" she elbowed Sam in the side.
"Ok, Honeybee you can turn into robot mode if you want" Sam offered. Honeybee didn't waist time, she turned into robot mode. They walked to the garage. Prime, Ratchet, ironhide, and sideways walked out.
"Honeybee, is that you?" Ratchet said, walking toward her.
"Yes, Hello My old friend, I have missed you so much" Honeybee run to him, through her arms around him.
"oh, Its so nice to see you" He said hugging her back. They stopped and them turned to the others. Sideways and ironhide just shook hands with her, they didn't really know her. Then Honeybee turned to Prime.
"Prime, I though I would never see you again" She walked over to him
Prime put both hands on her shoulders " Same here, young one" They smiled at each other for a minute. Then Honeybee walked back over to ratchet again. Ratchet put a hand on her shoulder and smiled at her.
" Where is he?" She asked under her breath.
"in the garage, Sam take them to see Bee, please" Ratchet asked
"sure thing" Sam put his arm around Ericka, pulling her with him. Honeybee right with them.
"What was with that, you and ratchet must know each other very well." Sam said, he really wasn't expecting her to answer.
"Well, everyone know their dad, don't they?" Honeybee said
"WHAT" Ericka and Sam said.
"He is not my really dad, but he did raised me and Bee. Decepticons killed my care taker and Bee's care taker. We came to Ratchet in the medic bay where he worked. Longarms Prime told him a become our new care taker, So he did. When we were older Longarms Prime also told him that we were the last beebots, so we were to become spark mates. But when it was time to go to war, Bee went with ratchet to war and I stayed to help around medic bay." She said.
"why didn't you tell us?" Ericka Asked
"I…." Honeybee started to say, then she stopped in her tracks. Her eyes widen, Sam and Ericka looked to see what she was looking at. They saw bee sitting to the garage in car mode facing away from they. He was watching Mud flap and skids fighting over paint again.
"Bumblebee" Honeybee said softy, Bee's horn went off as he turned to robot mode. Still facing away from they.
"Hon…..Honey….Honeybee?" Bee said as he turning around slowly. "Is that really you, Honeybee?"
"Yes, Bee, its me" Honey said taking one step toward him. Bee ran to her, picking honey up and holding her in the air like she weighed nothing.
"HONEY I MISSED YOU SO MUCH, I was so scared that you were hurt or worse" Bee put her down and looked down at the ground. He really did think she was dead.
"that doesn't matter anymore. I am here, here to stay" Honey pulled his chin up. Bee gave her a hug.
"Bee, why didn't you tell me that Ratchet raised you?" Sam asked out of nowhere but he really just wanted to now.
"I never thought it was important and it never came up to talk about" Bee said walking over to Sam and sitting next to him "I'm sorry, is there anything else you would like to know?"
"ummm…what's a spark mate?" Ericka asked. Bee and Honey looked at each other. Bee pointed at honey as if to tell her to explain it. But honey shook her head no. Bee rolled his eyes.
"its when a male bot and a female bot give half their spark together to make a new spark." Bee said.
"so you give half of your life?" Sam asked
" well yes and no, at the time yes. But like a human given blood, after time it can be replaced with more"
"ok" Ericka and Sam said. Sam looked at Ericka " lets give them time to talk, we can go talk to the others"
" sounds good" Ericka said, then she turned to Bee and Honey " be good you too"
"sure thing" honey winked at Bee. Bee's engine turned on and he beeped his horn.
"hey bee, come on man, chill" Sam said quietly so only bee could hear.
Bee put his hand on his hips " Well, Sam, you be good too" Bee looked at Ericka then back to Sam.
"oh, shut it Bee" Sam laughed. Ericka and Sam walked out of the garage. Ericka looked back to see them sitting next to each other, Bee had his arm around her telling her about something. Honey had her head resting on his shoulder. Ericka grabbed Sam's hand like she wanted someone to hold her too. Sam just smiled at her, and put his arm around her and Ericka put her arms around his waist.
They saw the rest of the autobus sitting in a circle in the driveway. They walked over there.
"hey guys" Ericka said " I don't think I got a chance to meet you early, I'm Ericka Puckett"
"hello, Ericka it is nice to meet you" Prime said
"sup, little chicka" sideways said, he was to busy trying to break up the twins.
"Hi" the twins said quickly, still fighting
Ratchet rolled his eyes, and got up " you two stop it. Your brothers, start acting like it. What if he wasn't there tomorrow? What would you do?"
The twins looked at each other for a minute, then they sat down next to ratchet. They didn't talk they just listened to ironhide and prime talk about some kind of new weapon.
"Ratchet your really good with kids, how did you do it with Bee and Honey?" Sam said, waiting for an answer. It got really quite, Prime and Ironhide stopped talking and looked at Sam.
"oh, so Honey told you. Well yea so I raised they" He said
"why didn't anyone tell me, I mean I'm not mad, but it would nice to know" Sam said
Ratchet got up and went over to Sam "you know now"
"Was Bee a good baby bot?" Sam said putting a arm around Ericka again.
Everyone laughed "well, yea he loved to try new things. He was always into something. But Bee loved to be with prime, he always followed him around." Everyone was looking at prime now, who was laughing as he thought back as well
Ericka looked at Ratchet for a minute "what about Honey?"
"she was a good girl, she did what she was told." Ratchet said with a smile as he thought back. Ratchet looked up at the sunset and sighed "then they got to the age were they could become spark mates, I didn't want them to. They were to young ,but be careful for what wish for" Ratchet's face fall down sadly "the next day orders came in for me and Bee to go to war and Honey had to stay behind. They had never been apart in till then."
"it was not your fault, my friend. They called for all of us and we did what we needed to do." Ironhide said patting Ratchet's shoulder
"that's not the worsted part. Bee's was only in his third battle when…" Ratchet couldn't finish.
Prime walked over to him and put his hand on his other shoulder "Bee was in his third battle. It was me, him, and ratchet at base. Starscream came up behind us and graded Bee. I'll never forget it…..
FLASHBACK
" HELP " cried Bee, he was screaming
"Shut up, boy or ill kill you" Starsrcream yelled back at the little bee. Bee did as he was told.
"hang on, kid, I am coming" Ratchet yelled, he was going to kill starscream for even touching Bee
"make one wrong move and the kid dies" starscream smiled. He started to fly away, Prime and Ratchet followed him.
"RATCHET HELP" Bee yelled once again. Starscream stopped and hold the kid out in front of him. He grabbed him by the throat and squeezed in till a crack sound echoed though the area. Starscream let out a big laugh, as he let bee fall to the ground. Ratchet and prime ran to him. Bee was curled up in a ball holding his throat. Ratchet checked him all over to see the damage.
"Ratchet" Bee said, it was scratchy and seemed painful to say.
"I am here, my boy, I'm sorry" Ratchet said hold the young bots hand. Bee eyes closed as Ratchet finish repairing the damages.
"how is he" Prime asked
"Everything is ok but his voice box, he cant talk and he may never talk again" Ratchet turned to prime, no sign of hope on his face
"he will, I know he will" Prime said
BACK TO TODAY
"but you did it Ratchet. You fixed him." Ericka said, hoping to make him feel better. Ratchet looked at the small girl, she looked up at him with hope on her face.
" thanks for your support, young one" ratchet said
"no problem" Ericka had her baby smile on. "Poor Bee, thank god he is ok now" Ericka added
"After that he changed, he wasn't the same . He wasn't his funny self anymore." Ratchet looked down.
"Jazz tried to make him happy again, but he just sat around all day. He couldn't get him to leave base" Ironhide said, now he was looking sad.
"But when we were needed in battle, Bee Killed anything in his path. He was full of hate and anger." Prime said
"He heard about the all spark on earth and he know about you and the glasses from the internet. So he ran way to this planet. To find the all spark before the Decepticons." Ratchet said.
"So he ran way to me?" Sam asked, all the autobots nodded yes.
" that night you first saw him, and you called 911." Ironhide said, raising a eyebrow
"SORRY, I didn't know you guys were good" Sam said, thronging his hands up.
"its ok, Sam." Prime said "but that night was the first time we heard from him in three months.
"Sam, after he met you he went back to himself. Having fun and laughing" Ratchet said happily thinking of Bee being himself again.
"I'm glad" Sam said
"As are we" Ratchet said
Ericka yawned "well I'm getting tired. Umm..should I go get honey?" Ericka asked Sam
"how about we go get something eat, if that's ok" Sam offered
"Sure" she said without thinking.
They went inside and Sam make stake and green beans. They had a great dinner, they talked for hours. Ericka told Sam about her life before moving here. Sam told her about his near death expiries lasted year and more.
" Sam I know we just met but I feel like I have known you my whole life" Ericka said smiling.
" I know, Same here" Sam said, with his charming smile. Again they talked for anther
hour.
Sam heard a horn beep, it bee. Sam got up and looked out the window. All the bots in car mode, sitting there in the driveway lined up in a row, facing the house. Sam laughed at the dorky line up. He looked down the row, looking at each car.
"Honeybee, why is she still here?" Sam looked at the bee and honey lined up beside each other. Sam heard a sweet little yawn behind him. Sam's eyes widen as he turned around. Ericka was sitting in his bed, her hair up in a ponytail. She had a white t-shirt on with black sweat pants, come to think about it they were his.
"Good morning, Sammy" She yawned
"Morning" He said waking over to her and kissing her on the lips. A horn beeped again, they looked at the clock.
"holy crap, we got to be at school in 15 minutes!" Ericka said jumping up.
They got ready, Ericka had some extra cloths in her backpack. Sam and Ericka Ran outside, the cars were gone. "Come on, HEY.. SOMEBODY HAS TO TAKE US TO SCHOOL!" Sam yelled.
"they went to a call of a small Decepticon attack up state, I'll take you" The leader of the autobots said.
"I always wanted to go to school in a 18 wheeler" Ericka said, getting in he big truck. Sam rolled his eyes but he had a smile on his face.
"ok then lets go" Prime said, laughing. It was quite for most for the ride. Sam started to remember what happen lasted night. Nothing happened, Ericka asked if she could get something a little more comfortable. So Sam gave her those cloths. They sat on his bed and talked. Sam looked over to Ericka who was looked out the window.
"that's my new girlfriend' Sam remembered…..
LAST NIGHT
"Sam I was thinking, me and you get along pretty good. Bee and Honey couldn't stand to be apart. So…umm.. I was thinking we could be more then just friend" Ericka said closing her eyes, waiting for an answer
"Ericka, I feel the same way. You know me and I feel like I know you. So I would love for you to my girlfriend" Sam said, Ericka opened her eyes to see that Sam was holding both of her hands. She leaned forward and kissed him on the lips, and pulled away leaving him wanting more. He licked his lips and smiled at her. They kissed again, this time long and with less fear. They pulled apart to catch their breath.
"I love you, Sam" She said in his ear, pulling him in for a hug
" I love you, too Ericka" Sam said as well. They just talked again in till they fell asleep.
THIS MORNING
Sam was still looking at Ericka when he came out of his deep thoughts. It took almost a whole year for Sam to tell Mikaela he love her, but it only took Sam less then a day to tell Ericka.
Ericka was now looked at him, smiling. "You ok, Sam" She asked putting a hand on his shoulder.
"yes, just thinking about you" He said kissing her on the cheek.
"oh, ok…It better be a good thought" She winked at him
"is there any other thing to think about' Sam said. Ericka and Prime both laughed.
"a little corny, my boy" Prime laughed
"ha ha ha, prime just drive" Sam rolled his eyes.
" ok Sam, I'll just listen" Prime blow his horn.
"PRIME" Ericka and Sam both yelled, he just laughed. Before they could talk again, Prime pulled in to the parking lot.
"I'll pick you two up after school" Prime said.
" Ok See you then" Ericka said, walking away "See you in Math, Sam, I got to go to the other side of the school now"
"ok Bye" Sam said looking back to prime, who cleared his throat "what?" Sam asked
"She is a keeper, Don't let her go" Prime said.
"I plain to keep her, I really do love her"
"you do?"
"well, duh.. I really do"
"Sam, Ericka seems to make you happier then Mikaela ever did"
" Yeah, your right" Sam said thinking about it now. Ericka did mean more to him then Mikaela ever did. Just then the bell ring.
" oh well I got to go, or ill be late" Sam said running off. Prime pulled away and went home.
Lunch came soon, Sam and Ericka were sitting at a table with 2 of their friends. Ericka went to through away her trash. When on the way back Austin stopped her. She looked up at him and crossed her arms in front of her chest. Austin was a football player, blonde hair and blue eyes. He thought he was all that.
" Hey, Ericka. You look great today" Austin said stepping closer to her, she rolled her eyes.
"hi, thanks" she said, she didn't want to talk to him, she hated football players, they were all jerks.
Meanwhile back at Sam's table Aaron, Sam's friend, pointed to Austin and Ericka "hey, dude Austin is hitting on our girl" Sam turned around and watched to see what Ericka would do. Austin took anther step closer to Ericka, it made Sam turn his hand into a fist.
" Back off, lover boy, I'm already taken. Sucks for you…but wait a minute, you never had a shot with me, JERK!" Ericka said, she flipped her hair in his face and walked over to Sam. Everyone watched her as she went over to Sam and kissed him on the lips, Sam put his arm around her and laughed softy in her ear.
The school day went on, and before they knew it was just 10 minutes in till the school day was over. Horns started to go off in the parking lot. It sounded like 7 different cars. Sam's eyes widen and so did Ericka's. one horn went off, it was a 18 wheeler's horn.
"we got to go" Sam whispered to her. " Hey, Mr. Colon, that's my car" Sam yelled
"mine too" Ericka yelled with him.
"well, go please" He said. They ran out the door to see all the bots there. They stopped beeping their horns.
" what's going on? What's wrong?" Ericka said, breathing hard
"Decepticons, a lot of them are headed this way" Ironhide said
"no time to talk, we need to go now" Prime said "bumblebee take Sam home and Honeybee take Ericka home. You two pack cloths and things you will need for a couple days" no one dared to talk back.
" I'll See you soon" Ericka said kissing Sam on the cheek.
"yea, be careful" Sam said
"always am" she winked at him.
"Ironhide go with Ericka and Honeybee, just to be safe. Sideways go with Bee and Sam" Prime turned to look at the twins and ratchet "you guys come with me, we will scout the town….Roll out autobots" the sound of 7 engines roaring away echoed through the school yard.
Ericka was the first to get home, the first thing she did was write a note for her parents. It said…..
Dear mom and dad,
Jennifer called me today and said her mom just died, she asked if I could come stay for awhile. I'll call you when I can
Ericka
She packed fast, and ran out the door. Right before she could get to honeybee a gun fired at them. Ironhide, in robot mode, jump from the flames and grabbed Ericka and ran to cover.
"Honeybee, where are you?" Ironhide yelled. Ericka was crying, but it was so soft no one could hear her. The shooting stop, and ironhide looked around the tree were he was hiding. No sigh of Honeybee. They heard an laugh, they looked up to the sky see scarcream and shockwave caring honeybee away.
"no No NO" ironhide got loader each time. Ericka started to cry loader now. Ironhide held her closer "shhh, its going to be ok" he said softly. He turned into a car and Ericka got in "hang on" he said before going as fast as he could on this road.
Meanwhile, Sam just got packed. Sam, bumblebee, and sideways pulled out of the driveway. Next thing that happens was a Decepticon landed in front of Bee. Bee put his brakes on.
It was Megatron, himself.
"Sam" Bee whispered, Sam knew what to do, He jumped out and ran to the woods.
"after him, Blitzwing," Megatron said, with a grin.
"NO" Bee yelled running after him, Megatron grabbed him and through him into a tree. Sideways started shooting at him. Megatron shot at him it knocked him out. Megatron grabbed Bee and flew away, Sideways got up in time to see it
"Shit, no" He said "ohhhh god…..SAM WHERE ARE YOU?" He screamed
"HELP, HELP SIDEWAYS" Sam yelled, sideways looked up to see Blitzwing holding him by the legs.
"no no" sideways transformed to a car "this cant be happening"
Sideways got to the parking lot where prime, ratchet, and the twins where. Before he even transformed ironhide pulled up.
"where's the Bee's?" Mudflap asked
"Decepticons took them and Sam" Ericka Cried, she was so scared. Ironhide handed her to prime who held her close to his face.
"oh, Ericka its ok, shhh everything is going to be ok, trust me" Prime said , one of his fingers was standing up so Ericka could hold it and cry.
"your just a big teddy bear" she said wiping her face off.
Prime grinned a little "I hear that a lot" he looked up at the autobots, they all looked sad and worried. But ratchet was the worst, ratchet was sitting on the ground. His hand over his eyes. Prime looked at Ericka, she nodded.
Prime sat her down on the ground and walked over to him. "ratchet, they are going to be ok"
"NO!" ratchet said "do you know what they are going to do to them?"
"no, but we will save them" Skids came in.
"listen to me, megatron knows what he is doing. He will make Honeybee his spark mate, because a Decepticon/ Bee bot is not good. Imagine a decepticon as big as megatron but as fast, smart, and snaky as Bumblebee." Ratchets head fell back to his hands.
"why did he take Sam and Bumblebee?" Ericka asked
"he wants to kill Sam for helping us kill him, and Bumblebee.. oh Bumblebee" Ratchet cried, he took a deep breath "Bee is just there to make honey mate with megatron. If she says no Bee will pay the price." ratchet couldn't talk anymore.
Prime looked mad, he stood up with a mean face. " Not on my watch, Autobots transform and roll out!"
"let me go, now" Honeybee yelled, Honeybee and Bumblebee were in a cave. Decepticons were all around them. Bumblebee knew they were out numbered, But honeybee had never been in a fight. She didn't know.
"shh, Honeybee. We are out numbered." Bee Whispered. Honeybee gulped. Bumblebee looked around at the Decepticons. Blitzwing, shockwave, and starsceam were standing around them.
"Where are they" came a voice came from opening of the cave, Megatron walked in. His hands fisted up. "aww, sweet honeybee and the junkyard metal they call bumblebee" bumblebee growled at him, honeybee didn't know what to do. So she just looked down.
"Honeybee" Megatron said walking over to her, Bumblebee's growl got loader. "move him" He said. Starsceam moved toward him. Bumblebee jumped in front of Honeybee, cannons on megatron and starsceam.
"now bumblebee, I wouldn't do that if I were you" megatron backed up a little. Bumblebee looked at him, waiting for him to do something. Megatron laughed as he held out his hand, and opened it. Bumblebee fell to his knees. For in his hand, Sam was laying. He was not moving he was laying on his belly. His face was toward Bumblebee.
"you…you killed…you killed him" Bumblebee cried, now on his hands and knees. He looked down at the ground, in shock.
Megatron laughed "ohh, sadly no. He is still a life, but thanks to shockwave who stole some Nitrous oxide. The boy should be knocked out for a day or two"
"YOU ARE SICK" Bumblebee yelled at him.
"well, not as sick as I'll be when I kill him" megatron closed his hand and pulled it down to his side. Bumblebee got up, he was scared.
"no, please don't hurt him" Bumblebee cried "or. Kill him" he added, he knew megatron would try twist his words around.
"Humph" megatron said "well, ill make a deal with all of you then."
"what is it" Honeybee said, now beside Bumblebee holding him as he looked at megatron's hand, the one with Sam in it.
" Sweet honeybee, I'll let Sam and Bumblebee live if you become my spark mate." Bumblebee looked at megatron with eyes full of hate.
" OK, to save him and Sam. But let them go, Please" Honeybee said, hope was killed by hate on her face. Bumblebee looked at her, in shock again.
"no" he whispered. This time he fell down on his side, and just laid there. Honeybee tried to help him up, but megatron had already told starsceam to take her away.
"bumblebee, everything is going to be ok" She said sadly before leaving the area of the cave, into anther part. Bumblebee found himself on his knees again.
"Well, Bumblebee good thinking" Megatron said as he walked away "oh and here" He said as he opened his hand and through Sam across the cave. Bumblebee got up and slid on his belly. But he slid to far and Sam landed on Bee's back. Bee got him and laid him in his hand. Megatron laughed
"good catch, and don't try to leave because you will be shot" he turned to leave, but stopped "you know I don't trust you, so" without finishing, he shot a rock and it fell, blocking the only way out. Bumblebee rolled his eyes, and looked down at Sam.
"Prime, we been looking all day and night" Ironhide said, his face held no hope
"I know but…I can't give up on Bumblebee, Bumblebee has always been there for me when I needed him" Prime said as he looked at the city from the hill that all the autobots were resting on.
"I know what you mean" Prime and ironhide turned to see Ratchet walking toward them. "bumblebee is a big part of your heart, Prime. Now that I think about it you were more of his care taker then me." Ratchet put a hand on primes shoulder.
Prime looked at ratchet then put a hand on top of ratchet's hand "yea, he was a great kid"
"WAS?. Prime he is still out there! As long as am still transforming I'll look for him… and Honeybee" Ratchet ripped his hand off Prime's shoulder.
"Ratchet you know that's not what a meant" Prime stood up, but ratchet was already in car mode and pulled away into the city. Prime rubbed is head, and shook it.
"Prime, you didn't do anything wrong" ironhide said "he feels like he lost his kids"
"I know" said Prime, Ironhide patted him on the shoulders and walked away. "I feel like I lost my son" he said to himself. He walked back to the others.
"Lets keep looking, keep signal lines open. Any sign of them, tell us" Prime looked down the road Ratchet took.
"go find him, talk to him" Ironhide said, Prime smiled and transformed and went down the road. A mile or two down in, he saw Ratchet on top of anther hill. He rolled up next to him. Both still in car mode, because this road was a busy road. Cars came and went for awhile.
Prime took a deep breath.
"save it, Prime. Its ok, I know what you meant." Ratchet said.
"I'm truly sorry"
" its ok"
"I know what your feeling, Ratchet. Bumblebee IS like a son to me, too."
"I know prime" he said with a little bit of a laugh. " have faith in your son, then."
"he is your son, though"
"No I think I'm just a grandbot" his laugh was harder now "He is your son"
Prime thought for a minute. " that's why I'm not going to quit, either. He never gave up when him and Sam went to find the tomb of the primes. So Ratchet, I will not stop looking for him." Prime's head lights turned on, as he turned back to the road " as long as I'm still transforming"
"I will be with you my brother" Ratchet said turning with prime back on the road.
"ohh..hmmm..ouch..Where am I?" Sam's eyes flashed open. He looked around, he was in the back seat of bee. He slowly got up and looked around again. Bee had the heat on, it felt nice and warm. He looked out the window, He couldn't see anything.
"Thank god" Bee sighed in relief "Your up, anything broken?"
"umm..no I think I'm good" Sam got out and walked around to Bee headlight "some light, Bud" with in a second the bright headlights hit the cave wall. "where are we, Bee?"
"in a cave" bee said as he transformed. "We were captured by megatron" Bee rolled his eyes.
"wow" Sam said looking at his hands, like he was glad to see them. "and I'm still alife" he said with joy.
Bumblebee looked away from him "thanks to Honeybee" he said.
"how?" Sam asked.
Bumblebee laid down on his back and put his hands behind his head, sadness took over " Meg….Megatron made her a deal, and she took it."
"deal?" Sam was claiming up Bee, trying to get to his chest.
"if she became his mate, we would live" Bumblebee helped Sam the rest of the way, Sam sat down and faced Bee. It was a sad face.
"ohh…Bee…I'm Sorry" Sam said patting his chest plate.
"At least she's not dead" Bee looked away from Sam
"then why are we still here?" Sam asked looked around.
" I'm guess if Honey did something Megatron doesn't like, We pay the price." Bee said like he knew it would happen.
"great threating our lives… what are we going to do?" Sam said, looking down in sadness now. Bumblebee looked at him for awhile.
"We are going to cheer up, first" Sam looked up at Bee faking a smile "then we are going to put our head together and think about something to do"
Sam stood up and jumped down off Bee. " Yes, sir" Sam smiled, along with Bee but this time it wasn't fake.
"My sweet girl" Megatron said walking into shockwaves lab.
"I'm not your girl" Honeybee talked back
'She aint that sweet either" Blitzwing laughed. Honeybee gave him a look.
Megatron walked over to shockwave .
'when will she be ready to mate" He asked
"well, I give her a week maybe, her spark will be ready by then" Shockwave answered
"ok, then" megatron thought for a minute " Put her in with the autobot and boy. She is no use to me at the moment" Megatron gave her a look and winked.
Ratchet and Skids were sitting in Sam's front yard. They were taking turns watching over Ericka, who was staying at Sam's house and get some rest. Everyone else was out looked for any sign of hope. Ericka walked outside, she saw Ratchet laying on his belly cupping his face in his hands. Skids was in car form in front of the house. Ericka walked over to Ratchet. She put her hands around his arm, trying to hug him. He flinched of the touch, then looked down to see what it was. Ericka looked up at him with a cute smile. He couldn't help but to smile back.
" You ok?" She asked
"I will live" he said looking up at the sky
"yea, can I ask you something?"
"of curse, young one"
"how did you know about megatron's plains with honeybee?"
"well, it happened before, you could say. When they were young. News of a new Decepticon came. Shockwave. One day I was working on my radio and I picked up readings of Decepticons close to us. I somehow was able to hotwire my radio to a satellite. I over heard his plains" Ratchet sat up and placed Ericka in his hand. " shockwave was planning an attack on us, so I got everyone to leave the area right before he got there."
"ohh, wow. You did good, old man" Ericka said winking at him, he laughed again.
"yea I guess"
" I miss her" she looked down " I miss ALL of them"
"we all do, young one" Ratchet help her closer, almost like he was trying to protect her, when he heard Sideways and ironhide pull up. It was their turn to rest and watch Ericka.
"well, I'll talk to you later" Ericka said, standing up.
"yes, see you soon Ericka" he said, putting her down on the ground.
BAM BAM BAM came from the other side of the cave. Bumblebee jumped up, and Sam fell down from shock. Bee picked him up and put him oh his shoulder. BAM BAM the rocks fell down, and starscream through Honeybee in with them. He looked at Bee and Sam then turned around and shot anther place in the cave. More rocks fell down to cover the hole he just made.
" honeybee" Sam whimper in Bee's ear, as they looked at her. She was already up and looking around. Bee started to walk toward her, she saw him and meant him half way.
"you ok?" Sam asked
"yea, I guess any bot would feel sick if they were Megatrons mate" She said joking, but she didn't smile at all.
"your not his mate" Bee said
"I must be, or he will kill you guys. And plus Shockwave said I can breed in a week" She looked down.
"so, that gives us a week to find a way out of this." Sam said, Bee shook his in agreement.
" ok, lets think" Honeybee said.
" if there was some way to talk to Prime and the others" Bee said.
"WIAT WAIT" Sam yelled " bee, go to car mode" Bee looked at him with a funny look, then transformed. Sam jumped in, and got in the back seat. Under the left seat, he found a eminency phone.
"where did that come from" Honeybee said, putting her hands on her hips.
"I didn't even know I had that" Bumblebee said, opening his hood, both doors, and trunk. Honeybee laughed. Sam got out, and pushed 1 on speed dial.
"Hello, who is this" came a strong, robotic voice.
"OH GOD. Its good to hear your voice, Prime"
