It had been a days since Bumblebee, Starfire, Mikaela and Sam met Decal, the new autobot recruit. Starfire was still steaming that she was with them. All she knew was that she didn't want Decal to start making the moves on Bee. Call her protective, a bitch, a glitch, whatever you want but she had a reason to be so protective of Bee. It was well known around Cybertron that a certain femme that jumped from male to male a bit too much, her name was Arcee.

It was true, Arcee and Starfire were really good friends, but she hated how skanky she was. Arcee at one point used to 'date' Bumblebee and she ripped out the poor bots spark. She also stepped all over Star's spark. Even back then Starfire had feelings for Bumblebee. But Bee was so in love with her, or so he thought he was. Bee was a lot younger then and a lot more naïve, he thought he was in love but it was nothing more than childish puppy love.

Starfire knew how she felt about Bee then and how she feels about him now and she was going to be goddamned if some new femme came in and tried to ruin that. Granted, Decal just joined them and didn't show any signs of being interested in Bee but Star wasn't going to take chances.

The car ride had fallen silent as thoughts filled Star's head. Mikaela occasionally glanced over at her, wondering what she was thinking or how she was feeling. Finally, she broke the silence. "Starfire…you all right?" Star only nodded. Of course, she wasn't all right; she didn't want this stupid femme joining them. After a moment or two, she spoke. "No…I don't want her here. It's almost like an insult to me and Bee. I feel as though Optimus doesn't think we can handle this by ourselves."

Mikaela nodded, she could understand why Starfire was so upset, but she felt as though it had to do with something other than Optimus Prime. "Is that all?" Her voice drifted off, knowing that it probably wasn't. "Um…not really. I'm sure you heard me earlier…getting a little defensive over Bee." Mikaela cracked a smile. "Yeah, we heard…"

"I can't help myself, I'm very protective and to be honest, I get jealous quite easily. Another femme, that I'm actually friends with, used to be Bee's mate." Star's voice faded out, she kept her eyes focused on the road ahead of her. "…Obviously, it didn't last long. She knew how I felt about Bee, even then, and she went and got a little too cozy with him. I remember her telling me how sorry she was and how much she liked him." Star pursued her lips together and shook her head. "A few weeks after they started seeing each other, she broke it off with him for another bot. He was so upset. I honestly don't think he's been with anyone since then."

"Wow…poor Bee. He is like the nicest bot I've met … I can't believe she could do to him."

Star shook her head again and glanced at Mikaela. "She doesn't care, Mikaela. As long as she gets her instant gratification, she doesn't care. She really hurt me, I was her best friend and she didn't care. Knew that I was in love with him, didn't care … took him anyways." She turned her head back to focus on the road. Mikaela was in shock, she didn't know what else she could say.

Thoughts raced through Mikaela's mind, she wondered why Star didn't try to console him when he was downtrodden by loves painful arrow. "Starfire…did you ever try to make him feel better?" Star nodded and told Mikaela that she tried telling Bee that she was in love with him but she was afraid of how he would react. His was so broken that she didn't even think he wanted to try again with another femme. She also explained to Mikaela that she only felt like his shoulder to cry on and nothing more…not until now anyways.

A smile appeared on Mikaela's face when she realized what was beginning to happen with Bee and Star. "So are you guys a couple now?" Starfire let out a soft laugh and shook her head 'no'. "Not yet, I'm sure we'll work on it, just as long as Decal doesn't get in the way." Star put emphasis on Decal's name; she added a snotty undertone to it, almost mocking it.

"I don't think she will hun." Mikaela shook her head and told Star that she didn't think Bumblebee would even care if she was trying to hook him. "I think Bee is way too into you to care about another femme. I see the way he's been looking at you….it's so cute." Starfire laughed and thanked Mikaela. She hadn't really noticed the way Bee was looking at her, she thought he was just looking, she didn't even think twice about it.

'Hey Starfire…' It was Bee. Star answered him and asked what he needed. 'Well Sam is gettin' hungry, so I'm sure Mikaela is too. I'm taking them to a diner that's not far from here.'

'All right…I'll tell Mikaela. And make sure you tell whats-her-face.' Starfire turned to Mikaela and told her Bee was taking them someplace to eat, Mikaela nodded and looked out the window and up into the mountains they were passing, admiring their beauty.

'Star…' Bee sounded like a parent scolding their children…how they usually draw out their name and give them a stern look.

'Fine…I'll be nice.' Bee laughed out loud when he heard Star's forced comment. He knew she wasn't going to be too nice. Sam looked over at Bee with a quizzical look on his face, as if he was saying "what's so funny?" Bee shook his head. "Star said she was going to be nice to the new femme." Sam raised a brow and began to laugh. "Yeah well, she didn't seem too friendly a few hours ago…"

--THE DINER—

Starfire, Bumblebee and Decal sat in the diner with Mikaela and Sam. They could have easily waited out in the car but they didn't want to bore themselves to death while waiting on Sam and Mikaela. It was a bit awkward when the waitress asked them what they wanted to order and 3 out of the 5 people at the table said they were not hungry. The waitress had given the bots weird looks for not wanting to eat but didn't question it.

Sam, Mikaela and Decal sat on one side of the table, Bee and Star sat across from them. Every few minutes Star would glance over at Decal and give her a weird look. Bee noticed and took her hand under the table; he didn't want stupid femme drama going down. Sam and Mikaela felt the awkward tension between the two femmes and of course, Sam said something relatively stupid. "So… who gets Bee?" Mikaela nudged him hard in the ribs before putting her palm to her forehead. Star merely smirked before speaking; she kept her eyes on Decal. "Well I think someone at this table should make it perfectly clear to stay away from…." Her voice trailed off, she knew she couldn't say his real name, so she had to pick a human name and fast. "….Zak." Bee snapped his head towards Starfire, and Decal's eye narrowed at her. "Oh really?"

"Yes, really." Her tone was getting more and more arrogant sounding, not a good quality for Star to possess. Bee didn't say anything, he let go of Star's hand and put in on her leg, close to her inner thigh. She glanced over at him, then back at Decal. Starfire wanted to make her dominance known. At times like this, you could say Starfire acted like a mother bear…once you touch her baby, you're going to die.

Decal smirked then added a cheeky laugh. "Well then, Starfire, I guess it's good for you that I don't want him. I had a mate…and I still love him dearly." It sounded as if a lump formed in her throat. "…No one will ever come between us…not even in death." Bee raised a brow. "So…he's gone?" Decal only shrugged. Truth was she didn't know where he love was.

Suddenly Starfire felt like the biggest ass on the planet. Bee turned to look at Star; he could tell by her eyes that she felt horrible for being such a glitch to Decal. He rubbed her thigh, not really sure what else to do. "I am so sorry…"

Decal put a hand up, stopping her mid-apology. "Don't worry about…you didn't know." With that, she stood up and walked outside, leaving the quartet sitting there. Everyone at the table was staring at Star. "Oh slag…I'm such an idiot." Bee continued to rub her thigh in reassurance.

"Why don't you go out there and talk to her?" Starfire snapped her head towards Bumblebee and looked at him like he was crazy. Starfire had no problem going to apologize but she figured Decal absolutely hated her. The way Starfire had treated her the past few days was not exactly how most people or bots wanted to be treated. "She's probably going to kick my ass now…"

Bee smirked and got up from the table, letting Starfire get out. Star scooted out of the booth and started to walk away. Bee smacked her on the ass. "If I see you get throw across the parking lot…I'll come out and stop it."

Star called over her shoulder. "Ha ha….you're so funny…" She made her way to the door and saw Decal standing next to her bike, a purple 2006 Buell Firebolt. "Decal..." Decal looked up from the ground and just stared at her. Her eyes were soft, not narrowed at Star in anger like they had previously been. "I really wanted to apologize. I don't think….often. I kinda just…act." There was silence for a few minutes then Decal laughed. "No it's fine. Bumblebee is a great bot and you're lucky to have him. I'd keep femmes in check too. Actually, I used to all the time with old mate." She looked down at the ground, thinking about her lover. "I miss him so much."

Star leaned up against the bike and sighed. "What happened to him?" Decal shrugged again. "I'm not sure. Last time we saw each other was moments before I was attacked by Starscream." Starfire rolled her eyes at the sound of that name. She hated that little creep so much. "Bastard was trying to rip my spark out, but he got his. I kicked that fucker's ass." Star laughed, along with Decal. Then Decal's voice turned serious again. "After I was attacked, I couldn't find him anywhere. Then I got word that Optimus was going to Earth. I figured if Prime needed me, he would call for me, so until I got the call I was going from planet to planet, just trying to survive." Star was amazed at how similar the two of them were. They had both gone through so much heartbreak in such a short time. Starfire wished that Decal had stopped on the moon that her, Sunny and Wheeljack were on. Starfire wondered if maybe Decal's mate was still alive, hiding among the stars with other refugees. "…What's his name? I might have seen him while me and few others were doing some work on one of Cybertron's moons."

"His name is Ironhide. Does that ring a bell…?" Starfire snapped her head towards Decal. Ironhide…oh Primus. Starfire wanted to hit the floor, this was unbelievable. She didn't even know what 'Hide had a mate. She needed to get back to the base with Decal, but first she needed to talk to Bee.

*LE GASP* Ironhide is Decal's mate!! This should get interesting. PLEASE REVIEW
