Italics mean thoughts, even though you're probably sick of me typing that.
Bumblebee made it back to Omega Supreme online and well, he prayed to Primus that the twins made it out online, too. Everybot was standing, or sitting, around the metal couch in front of the TV.
"Good, you're back." Optimus said, standing beside the couch. "We have some things to discuss."
"Look, boss-bot, it wasn't my fault! The twins forced me!" Bumblebee pleaded and lied.
"What are you talking about?" Optimus crossed his arms.
"… What're you talking about?" Bumblebee stiffened. Optimus sighed. The little yellow bot hopped over the back of the couch and plopped in between Sari and Jazz. Sari smiled and made a small wave to her friend. Bumblebee smiled and waved back.
"Okay, you might of heard, but Ultra Magnus is offline."
"Man…" Bulkhead whispered.
"Crazy…" Jazz looked down.
"So I am the new keeper of the Magnus hammer."
"So that means you're new Magnus." Jazz said.
"Way to go boss-bot!" Bumblebee cheered.
"I'm not done yet." Optimus continued, "I declined the role of Magnus." All mouths gaped open.
"B-but why. Isn't Magnus like, the boss of everything?" Sari asked.
"Yeah, it is." Ratchet glanced over at her, then turned back to Optimus, awaiting his answer.
"Because Cybertron isn't where I'm meant to be. Earth is my home, and you guys are my closest friends. Sentinel can worry about Cybertron." Optimus grinned. Sari smiled at the thought of Optimus loving her planet so much.
"That was so touching!" Bumblebee exaggerated and quivered his bottom lip.
"Um, I have somethin' to say, peeps." Jazz said, cutting Bumblebee off before he spoke more nonsense. "It's about Prowl." No one said anything, so Jazz continued. "Since he was such a nature lover, and he went offline on Earth, I was thinkin' that he could be buried somewhere… on Earth." No one said anything for several nano-clicks, until Sari broke the silence.
"Jazz is so right!" Everyone smiled and nodded in agreement.
"But where're we gonna bury him?" Bumblebee asked. There was a long, thoughtful silence.
"How 'bout Dinobot Island?" Bulkhead suggested. "He loved that place! And it's filled with nature!"
"Then it's settled." Optimus confirmed. The Autobots smiled. Prowl would be happy. "Now let's all recharge and relax."
"Sari…"
Oh slag not again… is that you Prowl? Show yourself!
"It's coming…"
What's coming?
"Danger… death… destruction…"
What do you mean? Hello?
Sari woke with a start. She banged her hand on her berth, clearly upset. "What the…?" She sighed and rubbed her temples. "It's just a dream, Sari. Just a dream…" She jumped down from her berth and walked to the living area of Omega Supreme. Everyone except for Bumblebee was having some energon breakfast around the table, talking and laughing. Bumblebee was having his breakfast while playing video games in front of the TV. Sari walked to the corner of the room and grabbed her bag. No way was she eating energon or drinking oil. She took out a box of animal crackers and a bottle of water and made her way to the TV. "Good morning, Bumblebee." She said as she sat down beside him and opened her box.
"Oh, hey Sari!" Bumblebee smiled, not taking his optics off the monitor. Just then Bumblebee's game character died. "Scrap!" He pouted, and took a bite of his energon. He looked over to were Sari was and watched her eating her crackers. "Um, what are you eating?" He took the box of animal crackers from Sari's hands and eyed it carefully.
"Animal crackers." Sari said and took a sip of water. Bumblebee opened his mouth to say something. "And no, they're not real animals." She smirked. Bumblebee closed his mouth and smiled at her, she knew him so well.
"Is it any good?" He asked.
"Oh yeah! You wanna try one?" Sari smiled. Bumblebee thought for a moment, hearing a distant laughter of Bulkhead for whatever reason. He then had an idea and grinned sinisterly.
"I'll try your 'animal crackers' if you try my energon!" He gave Sari her food and lifted his plate of energon. Sari thought they looked like pink pancakes.
"Uh…" Sari cringed. "Fine." The two switched foods.
Bumblebee took an animal cracker and sniffed it. Not bad. He thought.
Sari sniffed her energon. Doesn't smell like anything… She thought to herself. "Okay. On three. One…"
"Two…" Bumblebee said.
"Three!" Sari and Bumblebee took their bites. Sari was surprised, energon wasn't that bad. Not fantastic, but not bad. Bumblebee, on the other servo, did NOT like the sensation at all. He stiffened, trying to crunch the food down. The taste itself wasn't bad though.
"Not bad!" Sari smiled and took another bite.
"Hey! Get your own!" Bumblebee yelled and took away his energon.
"Don't like my animal crackers?" Sari laughed.
"They tasted good! But the crunchiness… Blech! Can you like, soften them or something?"
"Aww, poor baby wants his food soft!" Sari cooed.
"I don't know what you mean by that!" Bumblebee muffled with a mouth full of energon. "I don't even know what a baby is!" Sari burst out laughing, which made Bumblebee more confused, but he smiled. He liked to see Sari happy. But before he could say anything, Bulkhead walked over.
"Hey guys!"
"Hi Bulky!" Bumblebee smiled.
"Say, you guys wanna go, what you humans call, 'downtown' and look around?"
"YES!" Sari squealed. "Uh, I mean… yeah, sure bro."
"Cool!" Bulkhead cheered. "Well get ready, cause we're going out!"
Woah, my fifth chapter... and no conflict? Now I KNOW my story seems to be going on forever... and ever, but have no fear, it'll get interesting. Most likely in the next couple chapters. ;] Oh! And the Deceptions... yeah, they'll come along in the next couple chapters, too! Review, favourite, and make suggestions! It's very encouraging!
QUESTION: What do you want to see happen while Bumblebee, Sari and Bulkhead are downtown?
