During movie, fabricated day. (I think…)
4 – Better Than Me
"Hey Bee, what's wrong? You've been… quiet lately." Sam said quietly, resting a hand against Bumblebee's steering wheel as the bot carried him through the streets towards the meeting place for the Autobots. They were just getting ready to go after the Allspark once more, and Bee was now taking them to Optimus, who would brief them and then they would go on their way.
He didn't hear anything from Bumblebee for a moment, and then there were a few sound bits, the only thing that Bee could say besides using the radio. Sam supposed that he couldn't find a song that said what he wanted.
Sam frowned, waiting for a moment, and then he took a guess. "Why are you sad?"
Bee must have found a song, because Sam heard the click of the radio turning on, and then a song came from the speakers. "I think you can do much better than me…"
Sam frowned, his hand clenching on Bee's wheel. "Better than you? Why? I like having you as my guardian, Bee."
There was a sad beep, and something clicked in Sam's mind. "Because you can't speak? Is that why?"
Bee's engine sputtered faintly in response; Sam took that as a yes. The boy sighed, running a hand through his bangs. "Bee, I don't care whether or not you can speak. I wish that you could, but that doesn't mean that I don't want you as my friend."
"You deserve much better than me."
Sam snorted. "As if. I'm not a popular kid, I'm damn lucky that I've got a car as cool as you. Besides, I would rather have you than any other Autobot, or car for that matter. I don't care if the others can speak; I like you just the way you are."
There was another questioning beep, and Sam laughed. "I mean it, Bee. Now come on, we're going to be late!"
Bee's engine roared and his rear tires squealed as the Autobot cheerfully sped up, shooting over the dirt road to where Optimus was waiting for them, along with the rest of the Autobots.
'Thanks Sam…'
