The day was nice and sunny. The birds were singing, the kids were playing, no activity going on in the city. It was the perfect day for some R&R. Everybody was doing their own little thing until Optimus got a call from Sentinal.

"Hello there, Sentinal." Optimus said.

"Hello there Optimus. I just thought I'll inform you about a noble coming for a short vacation." said the big chinned Prime.

"A noble?"

"Yeah, I know. Who would come to a organic planet for a vacation? I mean there's better places for that."

Optimus ingored that and asked, "When will he be here?"

"He should be there by tomarrow. We might drop by later on to see how things are."

"Okay then."

Everybody was waiting outside the base for Optimus to return back with the noble. The sound of engines got thier attentions and they got ready. Optimus drove in first then the other bot. Once they transform, Ratchet regonize the noble.

"Collector? This that you?"

The noble look at him and smiled. "Ratchet, long time no see old friend."

"Oh good. You know each other." said Optimus.

"We meet during the war. Yup, good time." said Collector.

"Well since you already know Ratchet. I'll like to meet you to the rest of the team." said Optimus as he introduce his team. "This is Prowl, Bulkhead, Sari, and Bumblebee."

Everybody said a little 'Hi' or 'Hello' except Bumblebee. He had a bad feeling about this noble.

Is it just me or does he look familair?' Thought Bumblebee, as Collector look them over. 'And did his optics shine a bit?'

"It's nice to meet you all." Collector said before settling his sight on Bumblebee.

Bumblebee was feeling uncomfortble under Collector's glaze. Ratchet notice and spoke up.

"Well, you must be tired." he said. "Why don't I take you to your quarters?"

"Thank you." He follow Ratchet down the hall. The way he had his optics on Bee sent shivers through his frame. Yup. There was something weird about that mech.

"Well, I'm ready to go. Sari, you want to go somewhere?" said Bee. He wanted to leave.

"Uhm, how about Burger-Bot?" she suggested.

"Burger-Bot it is." He didn't care where he was going, he just want to get away from that noble.

He transformed and let Sari in before driving off. The others just stare at him strangly as they drove off.

"That was... strange." said Prowl.

Ratchet and Collector were walking towards the berth-rooms. Once they had it to the quarters, Collector spoke.

"So that was him, right?"

Ratchet smiled and nodded. "Yup, that's him. I'll introduce him to you later. Here's your room."

"Thank you again, old friend." Ratchet nodded then turn and left. Completely, missing the dark glare on his old friend's face.

Optimus was worry. Bumblebee was acting pretty strange. The thing is he was acting strange around Collector. Anytime he was near him, he'll finds some way to get away from him. Maybe there's something between them.

"I'm worry about Bumblebee." said Optimus. He was in the kitchen with Ratchet drinking some oil.

"Yeah? How so?" asked Ratchet drinking down his oil.

"Well, he seem to be acting differently around Collector." Optimus explain. "Do you think there's something between them?"

"I don't know. I'll have to see." reply Ratchet as he left the room.

"Bumblebee, are you alright?" Bumblebee jumped before turning to the source of the question to see Prowl.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

Prowl seem to frown. "Really, you don't seem alright."

Bumblebee didn't say anything but continue to watch tv. Prowl place himself between them.

"Hey!"

"I'll move if you'll tell me what's wrong."

"Nothing's wrong. It's just..."

Prowl came towards him. "Just what?"

"It's just...I don't know. I have a bad feeling about him. Like I don't feel safe near him. And he seems familar but I don't remember from what."

"Hmm." Prowl said as he thought it over in his head.

"Can you move now?" said Bee, irrated.

"Yes. And thank you." he said while move out of his way.

"No problem."

"Hey kid, can I see you for a click?"

Bumblebee was walking down the halls when he heard Ratchet called him. "Sure thing Doc-bot." He headed to the med-bay. He and Ratchet had become close since he discover that Ratchet knew who he is. "What's up?" he said as he enter only to pause when he saw Collector.

"Hello, Bumblebee." he said. Shivers went down Bee's frame when he said that.

Ratchet place a hand on his shoulder and introduce them. "Bumblebee, I would like you to know that Collector is one of the bots that knew about you."

Bumblebee quickly turn his head to him. "So, he knows that I'm..." Ratchet nodded.

"He knows. So, it's okay to be open to him. He won't tell anyone."

"Great." Bumblebee didn't know if he should be happy or scared to know that Collector knows who he is.

"I have heard a lot about you from Ratchet." said Collector as he walk over.

"Really? How much?"

He laugh. To Bumblebee, it was creeky. "Enough to say that you are truely one of a kind." Bee got nervous when he said that even if it did sound nice and friendly.

"Uhm, thanks. Hey, I got to go. There's a... rainbow in my... pocket. Later." He left quickly.

Ratchet just shock his head. "Don't worry, you'll get use to that."

Collector's optics never left the door Bumblebee exit from. "Oh, don't worry. It's not a trouble at all."

A/N: This chapter's sort of crappy but yeah. Collector is one of the few bots that knows about Bumblebee. He and Ratchet are the last ones.

Some of you have probably figure it out already. Well then good for you. But it's still a mystery so don't tell others.
