Hey guys!! I wanted to get this out quickly so you wouldn't have to wait!! Ummm...I don't like how I wrote this chapter but whatever...it's gonna have to do. There are a few things that might be confusing, so if you're confused let me know and I'll explain in the next chapter.

REVIEW PLEASE!!!

Star mouthed the bots name as she looked up at him. She felt Mikaela staring at her. "…Wh…who is that?" He stood in all his glory on the side of the road, on a small hill. Luckily, the area that they were currently in was empty of any human beings, except for the ones that already knew about the giant robots.

Starfire mouthed his name again, trying to make her voice work properly. She was in shock. She thought that he had perished with the masses up on Cybertron. "...Star!" Mikaela was clearly frightened now as the large aerial bot moved towards the yellow camaro. Sam, Leo, and Simmons all exited the car and Bumblebee began to transform.

"Ahh...Bumblebee…I should have known." His voice boomed down from the hill. Mikaela hopped out of Star's alt and ran over to Sam and gripped him tightly.

"Babe…it's alright. Bee said he's an autobot."

Starfire quickly transformed and ran up and jumped up onto the large bot. "SILVERBOLT!" The bot laughed as Star jumped into his arms and wrapped her in a tight embrace. "Hello, Starfire…it's nice to see you again as well." He laughed a bit then released Star and put her lightly back onto the ground. He walked over to Bee and slapped him hard on the back. "Nice to see you both actually…took me forever to find this place." He laughed again, a booming laugh.

Starfire looked Silverbolt up and down. "You know…the military doesn't use that type of aircraft anymore…" Star looked at the Concorde that made up Silverbolt's alt. He was dark gray, with no sign of alien tattoos. He looked very clean cut. Very professional.

"Oh no…I know. I found this at some Air and Space museum that I crashed landed near." He shrugged. "…It looked pretty sweet. Oh well." He laughed again. It was nice to see him in such good spirits, especially after coming from some desolate planet…or maybe even from the war ridden Cybertron.

Starfire laughed and shook her head. "Well…that's what counts right?" She winked at him.

Bumblebee moved closer to Starfire and put his arm around her tiny frame. He noticed a rather large capsule lying on the ground next to Silverbolt. "What is that?" He asked as he pointed down at the capsule.

Silverbolt looked down near his feet then looked back up to Bumblebee. "Ahh…yes. Come here." He picked up the capsule and handed it to Starfire, who reached him first. She opened it slowly and looked inside. She snapped her head up and stared at Silverbolt as she absentmindedly handed the capsule to Bumblebee. Star didn't know what to say at first then the words just flew out of her mouth. "…Where did you find it?" Her voice was low, even though she knew that the humans had no idea what Bumblebee and Starfire just looked at.

Bumblebee looked up at Silverbolt as well and stared at him as Star had. Bumblebee said nothing. "…Bolt…?" Starfire pressed.

He sighed and looked down at Star and then over to Bee. "I found it back at our old base. It was the only one there…" Starfire cocked a brow. There was no logical way that could be at the old Autobot HQ.

"…That's impossible. Wasn't it evacuated?" Starfire stared down at the now closed capsule. "…You have to take this Optimus immediately and then I would suggest you show Ratchet and Wheeljack."

Silverbolt nodded. He knew that Optimus would be extremely interested in what he was harboring in the capsule. "Watch over it carefully…" Silverbolt nodded at Starfire again. She looked to Bumblebee with a glint of hope in her optics. She smiled up at him and made her way over to the group of confused humans.

"That's Silverbolt…obviously. He's one of our aerial autobots. He's actually an aerialbot commander. Very highly respected." Starfire turned to see Bumblebee quietly talking to Silverbolt. She turned back to the group and smiled. "That capsule that he has…" Her voice started to die out as she tried to find the words that best described what she just witnessed.

"…Well inside there's a sparkling…" All of them cocked a brow.

"What's a sparkling?" Leo stared at the capsule in a mixture of fear and amazement.

"Is it like a baby transformer?" Mikaela looked over at the capsule and then up to Starfire who nodded.

"Yes…it's like a baby transformer. Silverbolt has told us that he found it in our old headquarters. We're not sure how it got there or how long its been there…but it looks like it's alive and very healthy. This is an amazing discovery. And I must say…this is a great news to our race." Starfire felt Bumblebee put his hand on her lower back as he came to stand next to her. He nodded in agreement at Star's words.

Star turned to Silverbolt and gave him the coordinates to the new Autobot HQ. Silverbolt tucked the capsule away and took off immediately. Optimus would be very pleased with Silverbolt's astonishing find.

"So Star…does this mean that your race can reproduce?" Sam looked between Starfire and Bumblebee. She shrugged.

"We're not sure how this sparkling was created…there are a few different ways it might have been created. For instance…there might be an autobot lurking around on Cybertron and made the sparkling him or herself. Meaning, they found spare parts and built it. Or maybe it was the product of a sexual encounter. It could have even been a result of budding, which would mean that bubbles and lesions of liquid metal form on a robot's chest, accompanied by energy discharge. The process grows more intense, until a large mass of liquid metal bursts free from the chest and slowly forms into a protoform-like blank figure, and then solidifies into a full Transformer." The group all stared at Starfire like she was crazy. It's obvious that they had no idea what she was talking about, and why should they? Starfire tried explaining it the best way she can. "…If you aren't a transformer it's, obviously, very hard to understand."

Bumblebee kept his hand on Starfire's lower back and then leaned in and kissed her lightly on her cool metal cheek. She looked up at Bee and smiled at him. He was happy to finally hear some good news, especially news that might save their race.

"Should we get back to Optimus too?" Sam spoke up, looking up at Bumblebee and Starfire. It felt like it's been forever since he's seen then in their more natural forms.

"No…we have different matters to take care of." Starfire transformed back into her alt mode and opened up the passenger door for Mikaela. Her holoform appeared in the driver's seat and she watched as Bee transformed back into his alt mode.

"Message from Starfleet, captain…" Bumblebee's radio spoke loudly, reminding Star of their next objective.

"…Optimus wants us to scope out an island in the Indian ocean … not far from Diego Garcia." She called out from the car to Sam.

Sam stared up at Star, confusion strewn across his face. "Why…?"

"Well Diego Garcia really isn't big enough for the autobots to live on. They want to find an island for us to live at…you know once this war is over." Star looked at the group and a slight frown spread across her face. "…Since we can't go back to Cybertron." The words stung her. She wished everyday that she would one day be able to return to Cybertron but she knew that her wish was never going to come true. Cybertron was lost to the war and would never be the same again.

Sam nodded and waited for Bee's avatar to appear in the driver's seat. Once he appeared they drove off, and Bumblebee told the guys where they were headed, as Starfire told Mikaela. "So it's an island off of India…near Gujarat…it's about 185 acres. That's big enough for most of the autobots, for now. Optimus wants to make sure we have a place to stay once the war is over. Also, with the find of that sparkling, I'm sure he's going to want to keep it there and have it watched over by Wheeljack or Ratchet. We can't have the decepticons finding out about it."

Mikaela looked over at Starfire and sighed. "That would be really bad…" She put a hand to her head, as she turned to look back out the window. There was silence for a few moments until Mikaela gasped and turned quickly toward Starfire's avatar. "Why can't you and Bee take care of it?" She looked at Star with excited eyes. "You guys could always practice for when you have a little transformer." She smiled slyly and Star began to laugh.

"I have more important matters to attend to…like helping to end this war." Mikaela pursed her lips together and began to pout. "Bee and I will become parents when we're good and ready." Starfire laughed as she turned towards Mikaela, only to see her pouting like a small child.

"Mikaela…we not even be able to reproduce sexually. We have to find out from Wheeljack how the sparkling was created first. If it was just built then we might have an issue."

Mikaela cocked a brow. "What sort of issue?"

"Well…our HQ was abandoned…so if the sparkling was recently built…then who built it? For all we know it might have been a decepticon sneaking around. Just because it had blue optics doesn't mean it's an autobot. Frenzy has blue optics and he's a decepticon. Your little pet, Wheelie, has blue optics and he's an ex-decpticon." Star shrugged, then turned her attention back to the road. "We have to be careful."

"Okay well…then let me ask you this. If you can reproduce sexually…how do you do it…? Is it like humans…?"

Starfire laughed and shook her head. "No…it's not like human intercourse at all. We connect through our sparks…like they can merge and transport DNA. The femme doesn't get pregnant though…the DNA is sent to Primus. Sparklings are basically made in a lab…in a test tube sort of thing." Star's voice drifted, she wasn't sure if Mikaela was going to be able to understand any of this. "Just think of a very large test tube. They grow until they are mature enough to be taken out and then the parents are able to take them. And they grow like a human child would, sort of." Star shrugged again and tried to continue explaining the best way she could. It was very difficult to try and explain robotic reproduction to humans. "Now the problem is…we don't have Primus to register the DNA. I'm sure that Wheeljack can figure out something though…he's our mad scientist." Star laughed again and recalled a few of Wheeljack's wacky inventions back on Cybertron, when things were still peaceful.

"Sorry…this must be so confusing for you." Mikaela shook her head then laughed. "Nah, I'm following. It's just very difficult…for you guys I mean. Then again…it must be nice to not get all fat and moody and stuff." She laughed again. "You know all the normal human pregnancy symptoms."

Starfire laughed and nodded. She wondered for a moment if she and Bee would ever have a sparkling of their own. Of course she would love one but she wasn't sure if she was ready for that, she was still very young and had a long life ahead of her. Or so she hoped.

Just then, Mikaela interrupted her thoughts. "Do you guys get married?"

"Oh, no. Once we find a mate we usually stay with them for life. Granted, there are bots who 'break up' with another bot and whatnot. For instance, I'm Bumblebee's second mate." She continued to look forward and smiled a little when she looked at Bee driving in front of her. She loved the way he drove, so smooth.

"Second mate…?" This seemed to be a huge surprise to Mikaela. Bumblebee was usually very quiet about his other relationship. He was hurt so badly, he hated to think about it…so why would he ever mention it?

"Yeah…he dated Arcee for quite some time. But she broke up with him and started seeing another bot. Bee was heartbroken." Star shook her head and looked over at Mikaela. "Don't mention anything to him." Mikaela shook her head, promising not to say anything to Bee about their current conversation.

"…Hey babe…"

"Hmm?"

"We need to stop. I'm getting exhausted. Follow me off this next exit and we'll get onto a ship tomorrow."

"Alright. How far do you think we'll get tomorrow?"

"Well the ride on the ship is going to be very long. It will take us about 5 days to get to England. Optimus doesn't want us to go to Diego Garcia…"

"…Why not?" Star cocked a brow and felt Mikaela's eyes staring at her. Mikaela obviously couldn't hear Bumblebee and Starfire comlink conversation but she felt that something might be wrong. Starfire turned to her and put one hand up, trying to tell her not to worry.

"He feels it's safer for Sam to stay away. He tried to get ahold of you to tell you but you were too busy chatting with Mikaela." He began to laugh. Starfire made a face at Bumblebee, even though he couldn't see it. "He wanted to tell you that the cons have been sniffing around. They think we're going to bring him back to Diego Garcia for safe keeping."

"…Then I guess that makes them morons. And he thinks it's safer to take Sam, Mikaela, Simmons and Leo to an abandoned island, instead of an island filled with giant robots and soldiers?" Starfire laughed.

"Guess so. Alright, I love you…I'll let you get back to Mikaela." Starfire could tell how tired Bumblebee was. His voice sounded so shot, like he could fall asleep at any minute. Starfire hadn't even noticed how dark it had gotten outside. It could have been 3 o'clock in the morning for all she knew.

"Love you too, honeybee." Star laughed and turned back to Mikaela. She ignored Bee's protests of the nickname and began talking to Mikaela more about the cybertronian reproduction rituals.

This chapter was very blah and I do apologize for that...my brain isn't working properly today. But tell me what you guys think...what you think should be changed. Do you like where the plot is going? Do you think the plot needs to be redone? I NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!

Please review....it really helps me out and it makes the chapters come out a lot faster!!
