PART FOUR

Prologue

Meg: People are reviewing! Yayz! Ratchet must've really said something to make them all review!

Ratchet: Damn straight I did!

I had to know.

Did he hate me or not? Despite what we'd just done, did he feel differently towards me for leaving?

For sleeping with the enemy…

I asked him about it, somewhere between Bunbury and Mandurah.

He was silent for a moment, and I nearly had a heart attack. Despite all that was happening, I still worried about it, like it was the biggest thing in the world to me at the moment.

In my world, it was.

Then, Bee turned on the radio.

"This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along


And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go..."

Well, Bee absolutely should not have done that, because I nearly turned into a basket case, I was so relieved to know how he felt.

"I'll never leave you again…" I promised faithfully, and then I leaned back. I happened to look up into the sky, which is what we'd both been doing periodically for the last half hour or so (I dunno, I lost track of time).

We'd both been doing this, watching for any signs of the Decepticons entering the earth's atmosphere.

I saw something in the back of my mind then, and through my newly evolved eyes, I saw something in front of me too.

"Bee…" I whispered. I didn't take my eyes off of the sky, but I placed a hand on Leveret's and Kyo's backs, for comfort. "Drive faster…please…"

We were already driving above the speed limit.

But Bee went faster anyway.

Meg: I'd like to thank these people for their reviews - dragongirlnr4, TFSTARFIRE, FirstWizardAllanon, Autobot Alythia (owns Zikya) and Lee-Aeront (owns Andy).

Emma: And I would like to thank all of the people who voted in the poll…

Bumblebee: You're only saying that because you ended up with me. *Grins*

Emma: *Also grins* Perhaps…

Meg: *Grins* :D
