Episode 8: Day at the Beach
A few of the younglings were at the beach playing. It was very hot outside but they were having a good time. Shockwave and Bumblebee were surfing, Optimus and Megatron were laying in the their own beach chairs and Starscream and Soundwave were building sand castles. Bee was getting jealous when a bunch of older femmes were admiring Shockwave's surfing stunts.
"Why isn't any femmes admiring me?" Bee asked.
"They should, all they ever do is look at me!" Shockwave said.
"But you have better moves than me!" Bee said.
At this point they arrived back at the sand and got off their boards.
"You have some good skills too, I don't know why they don't look at you. What is it about me that they like?" Shockwave wondered.
Bee groaned sadly and walked away, Shockwave was concerned. He looked at the group of femmes that were waving. Shockwave slightly waved back and followed Bee. Meanwhile, Starscream was putting many details on his castle, Soundwave scoffed.
"I don't think you need that many details Screamer!" Soundwave said coming over to his.
"I think I do, what's wrong with it?" Starscream asks.
His castle consisted of a door and many neat windows circled the castle. Soundwave's castle only had a plain door and a few windows.
"Well, It's yours to do with." Soundwave shrugged.
"Exactly!" Starscream smirked.
Meanwhile, Optimus and Megatron were still sitting around.
"Hey Megatron, hot enough for ya?" Optimus asked.
"Too hot, sometimes having red optics makes you hotter!" Megatron complained.
"So that means you, Starscream, Dreadwing, Shockwave and Knock Out are hot all the time?" Optimus asks.
"Pretty much!" Megatron answered.
Megatron held up one servo to wipe his forehead, some sunlight shone on his claws which made the light bounce off into Optimus' face.
"Megatron, put your hand down the light is in my optics!" Optimus groaned. This got Megatron an idea.
Megatron put his hand down halfway making the light bounce towards Soundwave but the light bounced off his face-screen and into Starscream's optics knocking him on his back. Megatron laughed. Back with Bee and Shockwave, they were playing in the sand. Well, Shockwave was burying Bee.
"So, how could I possibly get those femmes to notice me?" Bee asked as Shockwave had him buried all the way up to his neck.
"Mabye try surfing closer to them!" Shockwave said.
"That could work, I just hope they think I'm good enough!" Bee said.
"I'm sure they will!" Shockwave said.
"Hey thanks for doing this, no wonder people say this is comforting, it's very relaxing." Bee said.
"Eh, no problem!" Shockwave said.
Later, Soundwave and Starscream were having a sand castle war. They had both built large walls big enough to cover themselves. Starscream was trying to attack by sneaking up towards Soundwave's wall. Soundwave took out a tentacle and it zoomed towards Starscream chasing him away.
"I don't think so Screamer!" Soundwave said.
Starscream smirked. He had another plan. He was in fact an excellent jumper. From his ground he leaped up and soared over Soundwave's castle. He tackled Soundwave starting a scuffle which lasted only a few seconds when Soundwave pinned him and the fact there was sand flying around.
"Thought you could outsmart me?" Soundwave asked.
But Starscream wasn't looking at him, instead he was looking at the large wall of sand that came tumbling down right on top of them burying them. Nearbye, Megatron was laughing. Optimus rolled his optics.
"That was great!" Megatron said walking over and knocking down Starscream's wall.
He purposely stepped on the lump in the sand hearing 2 painful yelps as he stepped on the seekers. One of Starscream's hands pop out and grab Megatron's leg and uses it to get out, followed by Soundwave who grabbed Megatron's other leg.
"MEGATRON YOU LITTLE-" Starscream was stopped by Megatron's menacing stare. Starscream backed up a bit. "Nevermind!"
Meanwhile, Bee and Shockwave were back to surfing. Bee tried to get the femme's attention, but they were still looking at Shockwave who didn't look at them. Bee became depressed once again and went back to the sand. Shockwave followed.
"You okay?" Shockwave asked.
"It's not fair!" Bee said.
"I know it's not, but we just don't know why they won't look at you. Mabye their isn't a way without asking, but that would be weird." Shockwave said.
"Thanks for trying!" Bee said and walked away. Shockwave continued to follow.
"Come on Bee, there has to be something to cheer you up." Shockwave said.
"Like what?" Bee said.
"Uh...racing?"
"No!"
"Sand castle building?"
"Nuh-uh!"
"Wrestling?"
"That cheers you up and we do that all the time!"
"True...just talking about anything?"
"I guess!"
"Trust me Bee, even when they do notice you, it's not like they going to remember us years from now! Besides, I'm sure they look at many others besides any of us. And...they are a lot older than us!" Shockwave said.
"Yeah, I guess that's true!" Bee said feeling better. "Yeah, you're right, who needs them! As long as I know I'm good at surfing, that's all that matters."
Just then Makeshift came by looking concerned.
"Makeshift what's wrong?" Shockwave asked.
"Uh, unlike some mechs, I can handle only one femme looking at me but now there are a bunch." Makeshift said pointing to the same group of femme's that were looking at Shockwave a while ago.
"UGH! Someone get those femme's out of here!" Bee groaned.
