Alise and Bee started to chase Sam through the junkyard. Alise didn't know where he was, but she assumed they were getting close because the sound of the dogs barking was getting closer. Suddenly the noise of the dogs faded away, and she saw Sam, who instead of now running away from the dogs, was running away from them.

"'Get down!'" Bee voiced through the speakers, and Alise ducked down across the driver's and passenger's seats so she couldn't be seen by the boy outside. Alise watched where they were going through windows and saw that they had entered into another small warehouse in the junkyard. Bee stopped. Suddenly, she heard Sam yelling from outside.

"Here, you want my phone?" she heard him yell from the outside. She assumed he was talking to Bee. "Here! Take it! It's yours!" Alise looked to see a phone go flying passed the window.

"Well, I guess he knows about you," Alise hissed to Bee. She quietly chuckled. "Why in god's name would he think you want his phone of all things?" Bee chirped quietly through the speakers. Suddenly they heard police sirens in the distance. Bee revved his engines, and he quickly, drove him and Alise out of the small warehouse through the back entrance. Bee turned off his headlights to blend into the darkness, and Alise slowly looked up to watch police cars pull into their previous location.

"Are we just going to leave him there?" Alise asked Bee as they continued to drive away. She sat up straight in the driver's seat as she said this.

"'He'll be fine," Bee voiced back, sounding unworried.

"Are we going back to the warehouse?" Alise enquired.

"'Can't. Police (static) may be searching (static) the whole yard.'"

She paused "Damn," she groaned, after a moment. "If they do they're gonna have all my stuff. If Sal filed a missing persons report and they find my purse, they're gonna know we were there, Bee! They'll come looking for us!"

Bee stayed quiet for a moment and then chirped angrily. "'They're not going (static) to take (static) you. I won't let them.'"

Alise felt her heart swell and she smiled affectionately. She gently traced the steering wheel as she said, "I know, Bee. Doesn't mean I want them to know we're here. We need to get Sam first."

Bee chirped again, and then stayed quiet. The two drove to an empty grocery store parking lot and stayed there for the rest of the right while the two of them slept. Alise stayed in the driver's seat, once again tracing circles in the seat fabric before the sleepiness overtook her and she slept warmly and safely through the night.

The next morning, Bee woke up before Alise. It was also 9:30, and parking lot was crowded. Bee let Alise sleep for a while longer, just letting her stay where she was in her comfortable throws of sleep. Yesterday had been hard for him. The second he left her on that corner across from Bolivia's, he knew it was the stupidest thing he had ever done.

Trying to get Sam to pick him was easy enough, and even then he couldn't help but keep watching over Alise. She looked so exposed standing there all alone, and it took Bee everything he had to not race back over there and demand she get back in the car. So when Bolivia finally dropped his price for Bee after he broke all the other car windows, Bee had the worst sinking feeling in his gut as Sam drove him away from her, her watching them with a fading happy expression. He almost did go back to her, but he knew she was right. They needed to do this. Even if it did kill him inside.

Later that day, Sam had driven him and his odd friend Miles to party that they obviously weren't welcomed at. But in the end (with a little obvious help from Bee) he was able to drive home the girl of his dreams, who unceremoniously dumped her jerk wad boyfriend on the spot when he refused to let her drive his car. Bee remembered inwardly chuckling. Serves him right, Bee had thought to himself. He was impressed with the girl's, whose name was Mikaela, knowledge of cars. When Bee drove the two to a little scenic view and wouldn't budge, she popped his hood to try and find the problem and explicitly described the engine, he remembered thinking, I like this chick! However, when she started to walk away and Sam pleaded with him to work (not knowing he was actually listening) and he gave in and simply drove them home like he wanted.

Bee had to wait in Sam's driveway for a few hours before Sam fell asleep, and every minute was killing him. He had no idea if Alise had made it back to warehouse and that feeling made him sick. The second he heard Sam start to snore he pulled out of the driveway and raced to the warehouse in the middle of the city. Even though Sam wound up waking up and following him in hot pursuit, Bee didn't really care at the time. He just wanted to make sure she was okay.

With Sam a few blocks behind him, Bee transformed into his bipedal form when he knew that Sam couldn't see him and he entered the warehouse. Bee walked in and let out a chirp waiting for Alise to respond. When she didn't, and his Spark sank. He started to panic a little, but before he could switch his optics to night vision, he banged his foot into a large cinderblock and it emitted a large bang. That's when he heard her wake up with a start and demand who was there. He knew for certain that after that night, he wasn't going to leave her. He dared Megatron himself to try and stop him.

Alise was still asleep around 11 o'clock, and even though he didn't want to, Bee decided it would be best to wake her up. Not wanting to startle her too much, he started playing Van Morrison's Brown Eyed Girl quietly and then he slowly got louder until she started to stir. She slowly opened her eyes and a yawned a little. She smiled.

"I love this song," she said drowsily, and then she sat up and stretched her arms. "Morning, Bee."

"'Good morning, sunshine!'" he voiced over and Alise laughed and lightly kissed the symbol in his steering wheel, making him happily rev his engine.

"So what's on the agenda for today?"

Bee paused. "'My friends (static) are going to (static) be here (static) tonight,'" he said after a few minutes.

Alise froze. "Wow. That was fast." She was silent for a moment. "So what do we need to do?"

"'We need to (static) take (static) Sam (static) to them.'"

"Okay," Alise said quietly. "So how are we going to do that?"

"'I'm not (static) really sure (static) bell.'"

Bee and Alise decided that first off, they should try and find out where Sam was. Do to his little run in with the law the night before, they were surprised to find that he wasn't at home. They waited in a shaded area on his street for a while until he got home, and when he entered his house, Bee quietly drove up into the driveway. Alise had crawled in the backseat to try and stay hidden.

"Do you think he'll freak a little when he sees us?" Alise asked Bee.

"'Most definitely,'" Bee responded through the speakers and she chuckled a little. However, she happened to look up into one of the windows in the house, to see Sam peeking out at them behind some curtains with a phone in his hand.

"Damn!" Alise squeaked, and she ducked deeper into the backseat.

"'What?'" Bee voiced over worriedly.

"He sees us!"

Right as she said that, the two watched as Sam ran out at the front door, again with his mother's bike, as he started to race down his sidewalk.

"He won't make this easy, will he?" Alise mused.

"'Apparently not.'"

Sam was peddling furiously down the sidewalk while Bee was driving at a leisurely pace to keep up with him. You could tell Sam was pretty freaked out at the moment, his face red and sweat beading down his face. However, Alise couldn't help but find it funny that he thought he could out bike a car. As they came into town, Bee let up a little so it made it seem as though he wasn't following Sam. Because he could no longer see them in his peripheral vision, Sam turned his head to look behind, and just then, his bike made an unfavorable bump against a curb, causing the bike to stop and him to fly forward, him landing painfully on his back. Bee stopped completely, and him and Alise watched as he slowly got back and turned to talk to a girl who was sitting with a group of friends at a small cafe. He looked embarrassed, and Alise couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"Who's that?" she asked Bee.

"'His girl,'" Bee voiced slyly.

"Ohhh..." Alise said understandingly, a smile entering her face. "So that's lover boy's chick." She was pretty, Alise noted. She also seemed a little worried that he had just fallen and hurt himself and wasn't laughing at him like all her friends were. Maybe he did have a shot with her.

Bee laughed through the speakers in response. After a moment, Sam had gotten back on his feet and started to bike away once more. Because he was on the sidewalk and a little further ahead, Sam had just missed the line of traffic that quickly flooded the street that Alise and Bee got stuck in. Bee came to a sudden halt, and they watched as Sam started to bike quickly away.

"Damn," Alise whispered and she looked back to see the girl hop on her moped and drive down another street. The traffic cleared, and Bee quickly sped up to catch up with Sam. By the time they were able to get back on the road, however, they couldn't see where he had gone.

"Bee, what are we going to do?" Alise asked, and when he didn't respond right away, she amused he was scanning the area like he did the pervious times. Suddenly, his engine revved fiercely, and he sped up with so much force, it threw Alise into the back seat. In a matter of minutes, the two had arrived at a parking garage, and Alise was surprised to see that Sam and the girl from earlier were running out of the building.

"What's she doing here?" she asked, and then she noticed the terrified expressions on their faces. Then she noticed that further into the building, a large, dark mechanical man with red menacing eyes was chasing them. Alise's heart almost gave out. Bee started to drive towards it.

"Holy shit!" she yelled, but Bee continued to drive at the creature.

"'Hold on!'" he voiced, and Bee revved up the engine once more, and he drove directly into the legs of the monster, causing it to fall over on its back with a metallic crash.

"'You (static) alright?'" Bee asked quickly, and he started to drive towards Sam and the girl.

"Yeah," she responded breathlessly. Bee suddenly swung around in front of the two and opened his passenger seat door for them to get in.

"Sam, what is that thing?" the girl asked him outside, frightened.

Sam turned his head towards Bee and back to the girl quickly. "You have to get in the car!"

The girl started to protest, but Sam cut her off. "Get in the car!" he said wildly. "You have to trust me!"

"Sam," she said once more, but Sam had already taken her by the hand and pulled her in. The door closed behind them and Bee's engine revved up once more. "Go, go, go!" Sam was yelling, as Bee quickly pulled away, taking the three away from the parking garage. Alise watched as the mechanical man got up and transformed into a dark police vehicle and started to chase them down the back streets of South Gate. Bee was going so fast that Alise was worried he may lose control, but then she put those thoughts aside. With the police car still chasing them, the girl looked back to see where he was, and jumped to see Alise sitting in the backseat, first noticing her presence. Sam, seeing her reaction, also looked back and also noticed her with a jump.

"Shit!" he said when he saw her. "Who the hell are yo-"

"Later!" Alise yelled at him over the roar of Bee's engine. "We need to get out of here first!"

The police car was trying to force Bee off his path and Bee started swerving. He pulled into a junkyard along one of the sides of the road and started to race the police car through narrow paths of the yard.

"Oh, God! We're gonna die! We're gonna die!" the girl was yelling. Sam, still hyped up himself, made a poor effort at trying to calm her down.

"No, we're not. No, we're not gonna die. Trust me. He's a kick-ass driver!" he yelled. Suddenly, Bee started to rev up again... right into a stained glass window of a warehouse.

Sam started screaming, "Oh, my God! No! We're gonna die!"

They went through the window without much effort and Bee continued to drive quickly through the warehouse, the police car still on their tail. Bee started to swerve on his own and he went through a wooden shelf, leaving it to rumble all around them. The police car followed and Bee suddenly did a quick turn and the police car tried to do the same but couldn't get moving quick enough. He stayed in the same spot for only a couple of seconds, but it was enough for Bee to get away and drive outside.

It was already dark by the time they got outside, and Bee pulled up along the building, shutting off his head lights. They watched as the police car drove a few yards in front of them, but didn't notice the four. Bee suddenly locked all his doors, and the girl muttered something, and tried to open them.

When the police car was out of sight, Bee tried to quickly and quietly pull out, and drive away, but it was too late. The police car had suddenly pulled into view a few yards away. Bee stopped. Suddenly the doors of the car came open and Sam and the girl were thrown out, while Alise quickly crawled out from the back. When everyone had exited, Bee transformed into his bipedal mode and stood in front of the three. Alise quickly got up, not fearing the sight of a standing Bee, but the other two, with shocked looks on their faces, crawled on the ground looking up at him.

"Get up!" Alise hissed at the two, and they quickly obliged. Right in front of them, the police car transformed mid-air and crashed right into Bee overtop of them, missing the three by feet. Bee and the mechanical man slammed hard onto the ground.

"BEE!" Alise yelled. The mechanical man had simply rolled to his feat and he drew his weapon. He yelled something Alise couldn't understand, and stood up straight as another much smaller mechanical came from his chest armor and looked at the three, most specially Sam. Bee had gotten to his feet, but as the three started to run away from the large and small machines, the large one hit Bee once more and sent him flying back towards the pavement and then again towards a large electrical transformer, sparks flying everywhere when he made contact with it. Bee got up right away this time, however, and he launched himself towards the mechanical man.

The smaller machine started to chase the three, but Alise wasn't concerned about them at the moment. She was more worried about Bee and the larger bot. She knew that Sam and the girl would probably find a way to deal with the small bot, so she decided to take herself out of that equation, and ran towards Bee and the mechanical man. She looked back and was relieved to see that the smaller one was still following the two. Alise looked on in horror, though, when Bee and the other bot landed in a large ditch that surrounded the area with the mechanical man on top of Bee, repeatedly hitting his face. She ran to the top of the hill where they fell in and with an overwhelming feeling of déjà vu, she picked up some large stone that were lying around her and she through them at the mechanical man.

Surprising herself with her aim, the first rock she threw hit the machine in the eye, and the second one in the back of its head, both creating loud clanks. She smiled when he had stopped hurting Bee, but fear had replaced the previous feeling when the monster slowly turned around to look at her with its menacing red eyes. Those eyes were too familiar.

"Oh shit," she whispered to herself, as she started to back up from the ledge. The monster had started to climb away from Bee and up the hill, towards her. She tried to run away, but she legs felt like jelly. Finally when she regained feeling in them, she tried to make a dash. However, the monster, who was now very uncomfortably close to her, ran up behind her and jumped in front of her, making her fall to the ground. She tried to back up, but the monster leaned over and shoved his face no more than a foot from hers. The monster looked at her with its evil red eyes and took in her scent.

"I know you," it said darkly and menacingly after a moment. Alise's blood ran cold. "You're the fleshy who dented my hand." He seemed to smile evilly at her. Of course, Alise thought to herself. It had to be the one I pissed off already! "You fleshlings never learn, do you?" He raised his weapon in the air right above her, and she closed her eyes, waiting for the pain to come. However, instead of the sounds of her screaming in pain, she heard the crashing of metal above her and opened her eyes to see that the monster was no longer there.

She sat up and saw Bee, who now had the monster underneath him. He was delivering severe and angery punches to the monster's face and the monster didn't seem to be able to fight back. At one point, the monster had taken hold of Bee's arm, but it suddenly changed beneath his grip and became a canon of some sorts. Alise watched as Bee took this canon and aimed it at the monster's chest and fired. A bright blue light and a loud noise emitted from Bee's arm and into the monster's armor. He didn't move again. She watched as Bee shot the monster two more times, just to be sure.

He stood up as he stared at the remains of the monster for a moment and then he turned back to face her. There was a look of accomplishment on his face when he first turned towards her, but as he looked and saw her, his face filled with worry. He started to run over to her, as she stood up and tried to catch her balance and breath. He placed his hand in front of her for her to climb up on, which she did. He brought her up to his face level and he quickly looked over her.

"'Are you (static) hurt?'" he asked worriedly. She chuckled darkly and placed her hands on his cheeks and drew herself into him, once again resting her forehead on his.

"Am I okay?" she asked, exasperated. "Bee, are you kidding me? You just got a beating from that monster! And you're asking me if I'm okay? Are you okay?"

Bee let out a sigh of relief and smiled at her. "'I am (static) fine (static) bell. I can (static) take a few (static) punches. I will always (static) be okay.'" Then his face got serious. "'You (static) however, are (static) more fragile than I am. Now tell (static) me. Are you (static) okay?'"

Alise smiled warmly and sighed. "I'll be okay if you are." She kissed his cheek and rested the side of her face on his. He smiled contently. His Spark leapt and he took one of his fingers on his other hand and ran it gently through her hair.

"'Same here (static) bell.'"

She smiled again and she kissed his cheek once more before pulling her face away from his. She looked over at the body of the monster. "Is he down for good?"

Bee shook his head. "'No (static) not for long.'"

She shivered. "Then we better find Sam and his friend and get out of here."

Bee nodded and he placed Alise on his shoulder as they started to walk away from the war zone. After a few more steps, they saw Sam and his friend walking up from the hill on the other side of the yard. Sam and her walked up to them, but stopped a few feet short. Sam looked at the two of them and noticed Alise on his shoulder. He gave them a confused look, but didn't comment and turned to Bee and asked, "Can you talk?"

Bee nodded. "'XM Satellite One"..."Digital Cable brings you"..."Columbia Broadcasting System..'"

"So, you... so you talk through the radio?" Sam deduced.

"'Thank you, you're beautiful! You're wonderful, you're wonderful,'" Bee said and he started clapping in Sam's direction which made Alise laughed. Sam looked at her next.

"And who are you supposed to be?"

"My name's Alise," she introduced herself, and she nodded a little in his direction.

"Why are you here?" Sam asked accusingly.

"I'm just a friend," she answered and Bee smiled in her direction. Sam seemed to accept this somewhat and turned back to Bee.

"So what was that last night? What was that?"

Alise was confused at what he was talking about, but Bee seemed to know. "'Message from Starfleet, Captain. (static) Throughout the inanimate vastness of space. (static) And angels will rain down like visitors from Heaven! Hallelujah!'"

"Visitors from heaven... so you're, like, an alien?" the girl asked. Bee pointed at her and nodded. He held his hand out to Alise and she got on and he put her on the ground. He then converted into his Camaro form and the door opened. Alise was the first to get in and hopped in the backseat and then Bee voiced, "'Any more questions you want to ask?'" to Sam and the girl.

Sam whispered something to the girl who laughed nervously and then responded. Alise couldn't hear them, but whatever it was, the two got into the car after that. Sam went in the passenger seat and the girl sat awkwardly in the driver's seat. Sam turned around to face Alise.

"Do you know what's going on here?" he asked her hopefully.

She smiled apologetically. "Well, I could lie and say yes, but quite honestly, I've just been rolling with the punches these past couple of days. You know, trying to get used to everything."

Sam nodded his head and turned around.

Yay! Wow, this is a long chapter haha. So what do you all think? Please review and tell me what you think!

As always, I own nothing!
