Bumblebee's Beeps

I don't own Transformers or any of its characters, Hasbro does. Sooo….yeah. On with the story.

Arcee woke up with a start. She had yet another dream of Cliffjumper. This time she was on patrol with him and they had just found an energon deposit.

Arcee's dream

"Hey Cliff, are you seeing what I'm seeing?"

"If by that you mean a decent sized energon signature than yeah, I see it too."

" It's been awhile since we've found any worth carrying back to base."

" Tell me about it. Cons with their warship seem to be able to find the stuff before we can even transform.

"An all too true fact. Well, let's get down there and call for a ground bridge."

"Way ahead of you, 'Cee."

By the time Arcee arrived at the location for the energon, Cliffjumper was already using his portable saw to cut the energon into smaller pieces for easier transport. The femme shook her head with a smirk on her face at her partners impatience.

"Cliff, you shouldn't just go in without checking for traps. For all we know this place could be rigged to blow in a matter of seconds."

"Don't worry so much Arcee." He drawled. "If there were traps here than there would be footprints on the ground. You need to loosen up a little bit."

"Cliffjumper you know why we can't do that. The cons could show up at any second and…."

Arcee was cut off by a shadow that seemed to block out the bright sun of the Nevada desert. The femme turned to the sky to see a huge ship right above them.

"Scrap! Take cover! That's the Nemesis." The red mech exclaimed.

The duo found a hiding place behind a pillar of energon sticking out the ground. Not the best choice because of the….explosive events that happen when the energon is fired upon.

"What a way to start the day huh?" The red mech joked.

"Yeah, finding energon and getting in a firefight. "The femme joked. "You don't get one without the other."

The two were cut off by the sound of several heavy objects landing on the ground nearby. Cliffjumper peeked around the corner of his cover to see what it was.

"Cons. Surprise, surprise."

"Primus. Why can't they just go frag each other instead of ruining everything?"

"I don't know, but let's go ask them." The mech said, transforming his hands into blasters.

The two Autobots shot at the Decepticon drones to try and protect the energon they had found. They knew the drones would be hesitant in shooting back because the blast of the explosion from the energon would blow the entire deposit, with them in it.

Arcee turned away from Cliffjumper to shoot at the mindless drones.

"Cliff, do you see any kind of better cover? "

She turned around in confusion and what she saw made her gasp in shock.

"Cliff!"

A Decepticon had managed to make its way to Cliffjumper and jam something that the femme couldn't see into his chassis. Arcee shot said drone in the head causing him to be tossed back.

"Cliff, are you alright?" The Arcee asked in worry.

She turned him around to be greeted by a zombified Cliffjumper. She could now see that what the con had placed in Cliffjumper's chassis was a small clump of dark energon.

"Aahh! Cliff!"

The zombified Cliffjumper grabbed Arcee and shouted at her.

"Why Arcee! Why? YOU could have prevented this but YOU weren't fast enough! This is YOUR FAULT!"

End of Dream

Arcee looked towards Bee and felt a wave of sadness wash over her. This time there was no one to comfort her from her nightmare. Bee was so sweet. He was always there. He was a great listener and he would always say how he felt about something. He was so likeable you couldn't help but find him cute. She realized that no matter how much Bee did for someone, he would never ask for something in return. He was so selfless.

She was still staring at his unconscious form. Leaning over, she gave his resting frame a hug. She hadn't been hugged or given a hug in so long that it was a foreign feeling for her. Bumblebee remained motionless and all the femme could sense was the beep of the machine keeping track of his spark beat.

Suddenly the machine began to beep loudly and a warning came onto the screen written in cybertronian.

"Scrap! Ratchet, get your aft over to the medbay. Somethings happening to Bee!"

"Ugh. Hold on I'm just getting out of recharge I'll be there in a nanoclick." The Autobot medic grumbled over the comlink.

"Hurry!"

The medic ran into the room and came over to where the sleeping mech was. He checked the monitor and looked through a pile of various mechanical devices.

"No. No Wait…no. Hey, I've been looking for this for ages. I should probably put it somewhere where Bulkhead can't find and break it."

"Ratchet! Hurry up and help Bumblebee! He's in trouble."

"Don't worry Arcee I know what happened. His painkillers wore off and he began to feel his injjuries. That is what caused his spark rate to go up. He's going to be fine. Are you alright Arcee? You looked like you were about to have a spark attack."

"Well…..don't judge me. I was worried for him. He is my teammate after all."

"Is he your teammate, or something else?"

"What is that supposed to mean?"

The mech backed up and held his servos up.

"Nothing. I was just, as the children say, 'yanking your chain'". I just thought you were going to say best friend or something."

"Well…..just forget it….and don't do it again."

"Temper, temper Arcee. You've got to learn to control it."

"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. I get it Ratch."

The medic gave one final glance at her before departing to his quarters. Arcee turned around and looked at Bumblebee.

"What is happening to me. First I start thinking that Bumblebee is cute and then I burst out at Ratchet for not hurrying up and helping him. I need to get my head on straight. I just can't help but feel that I need Bee more than I know. Maybe I do. Maybe Ratchet was right. Maybe I do think of Bee as something else besides just a teammate or friend. Maybe I like him. Ugh, all these maybes are making my processor hurt."

Arcee was about to leave to her quarters when she gave one last glance at Bee. She was thinking of doing something that she has never done to or done with anyone before.

She leaned over Bumblebee's sleeping form and made her metallic lips into a puckered shape. She hesitated, trying to gather up the courage to do it.

"Come on Arcee. Just do it. No one is here and Bee's asleep. You've never been afraid to do anything before."

The femme closed her optics in an attempt to make herself less nervous. It helped slightly but not enough so that she wouldn't hesitate. She ever so slowly brought her head lower and lower, nearing Bumblebee's own head. When she felt something hit her lips she opened her optics to see that she had finally made contact with Bumblebee's own metallic lips. As she began to finally realize she had done it, she began to get into it more and more, savoring the gentle but firm kiss. She felt as if she could die then and there with no regrets. She didn't want it to end but she had to pull back slowly to not get too into it. She began to walk away towards her quarters. She couldn't help but smile at herself that she had kissed the most caring and fun loving mech she had ever met. She smiled and that night she didn't have nightmares or dreams about winning the war against the Decepticons. No, she dreamt about reliving that special kiss over and over again. She dreamt of her first kiss with the mech she liked and maybe one day…..loved.

Yo, wudd-up this is TheLegacy finished with his second chapter of his first successful story of actually getting reviews! Anyway do you see the button right there? No lower. Lower. Lower. Lower. Wait that's too low. Up a little and stop it should say review so do what that button says and review my story. Well heres some advice for all those being bullied. Stay strong and don't back down.

"If they call you a nerd don't worry, because YOU will be the one with a great job, big house, and all the money you will need and THEY will be some street junkie.

If they call you fat don't worry because THEY are probably the anorexic wh***s in the school.

If they call you gay tell them that they are right because gay literally means happy."
