The room was silent, Mikaela walked over to Sam and sat on the bed next to his, she said nothing, she just kept calm and quite. Sam was panicking in his mind, the last time this had happened Mikaela had given him a scornful look and walked out, now she was being calm and quite, this didn't bode well. Bumblebee watched as everything unfolded, he held on to Sam tightly as the teen got into a sitting position, Bee knew from his research that when an earth female acted like this it usually meant that there were no words to describe how angry she was, he watched her, while getting ready to protect Sam, he thought that Optimus would not mind to much if he fought her in his Avatar while defending Sam, it was his job after all.

Sam tried to speak, he wanted to explain what had happened, how Bee had been there for him when he was hurting, how he had made things better, that it was just to help, but he couldn't, it had been more than that, there were all these feelings, feelings for Bee, so strong that Sam could not ignore them or even lie about them. His lips moved as he tried to find the right words, but before he could say anything Mikaela put her finger on his lips stopping him, "before you say anything sam, I want to talk first" Sam just nodded as Mikaela went on "we haven't been close for some time now, since before Egypt, maybe even from the start, you haven't been there, part of you has never connected with me, an important part and I know why, that part of you connected to bumblebee" she paused at this and looked a little sad, before anyone else could speak she continued saying the words that needed to be said "it's always been you two and never us, you wanted to spend time with bumblebee no matter what came along, even when we went on dates he was there right along with us and let's face it the strongest kisses you ever gave me were all done when you were close to bumblebee, like you could only kiss that way when he was around".

Mikaela paused again, gathering her strength to say words that she had only thought before, "you fell for him and didn't even know it didn't you", she smiled weakly as Sam just blushed slightly, "I worked all this out yesterday and I'm glad to know that my intuition was right", she then looked at Bumblebee and said "I'm sorry bee, it must have been hard for you to sit there all that time and watch, not being able to have the one you wanted", Bee looked sad for a moment then asked "are you alright with all this?" he looked pleading as he said it, he wanted Mikaela to be ok with it but at the same time he didn't want to hurt a friend, "I shouldn't be, I should be angry, but I'm not, that just tells me more that I'm making the right choice" she looked over to Sam, he was taking all this in, trying to work out when his life had started getting so complicated, had it been the day he met the Autobots, or the day he first saw Mikaela, or maybe his life had always been like this and he just hadn't noticed.

"let's face it sam" Mikaela said, "you and I are good friends, we have been since that day at the lake, but we've never been lovers not even close" she searched his face looking closely for the little tells that she had learned to read, Mikaela could see that Sam agreed with her without him saying a word, "I'm glad that you agree sam, because it would have been hard for you to explain all those car washes you gave bumblebee, some of them were pornographic, watching you work so hard on all those little places, all those gentle little polishing sessions on bee's seats and dash", Sam's face turned red, the contrast with the blue making it look worse, "at least you could have knocked before you came in" Sam quipped back, "you think I was bad, just imagine if it had been your mom" Sam's face went from fire engine red to ghost white in a second, "I didn't know humans could change color like that" Wheelie said looking at Sam with interest, Mikaela just let out a laugh while Bee glared at the confused little salvage drone.

When they had settled down into a more relaxed state Mikaela asked "so are you two going to show me around your little love nest" Bee chuckle as Sam rolled his eyes, "come on it'll be fun, this must be the first military base we've seen in about two months, but first I think you should put on some pants" Sam stuck out his tongue, which caused Mikaeka to laugh when he found out it was glowing blue, "thank you for your pity" he said as he pulled up a pair of khaki pants that Bee had found in a cupboard. Mikaela stopped laughing when she felt a little hunger pang from her stomach, "let's grab something to eat first", Sam looked at her, normally he was the one who suggested going for food, "your hungry, normally I'm the one who wants to hit the junk food" he said laughing, "well when did you last eat?" Mikaela asked. When had he last eaten, Bee answered for him, "sam the last time you ate was lunch the day before yesterday", "what!!" Sam exclaimed, he should have been starving, seeing the shock on his face Mikaela said "we should talk to Ratchet".

The drive across the base wasn't as bad as Sam had imagined it would be, the few soldiers that crossed their path just gave a small nod or saluted Bumblebee as he drove past. Ratchet was in the hanger in his alt mode, he looked like any other rescue vehicle. When Bee approached Ratchet shifted from his vehicle mode to robot mode, he stood and stretched as if getting the kinks out, "all right what is it" he asked with a gruff tone looking at Bumblebee, Sam got out, he still felt weak but he could at least manage to walk on his own now, "I need to talk some more ratchet", the Medbot looked down at Sam when he heard the words, "sam I didn't know you were there" there was a small amount of worry in his voice, "it's ok bee had his windows tinted a little for me"Sam answered trying to understand why the gruff Autobot sounded concerned, quickly changing the subject Ratchet said "well let's get you scanned", he followed Sam over to the table having to watch his footing as Bee's Avatar ran over to sit by Sam giving the teen just enough space to be scanned by Ratchet.

Again Sam felt the scan pass over his body, while Ratchet remained silent analyzing the readings, "well you look ok, your" he paused looking for the right word, "let's call it an upgrade, is moving faster than I thought it would, you may even begin the final faze tonight when you next enter stasis", Sam nodded, "one more day as Sam Witwicky" he thought, "have there been any other developments, changes in your hearing, vision, for example, machines acting strange" Sam interrupted Ratchet as he went through the list, "well the was this one thing" Sam said pausing slightly, wondering if it was worth mentioning, "the night before my arm changed my computer sort of wrote an assignment on it's own", "before your arm changed?" Ratchet asked, "yeh" Sam answered, the Medbot seemed to think for a second, then asked "did you instruct it to, you know think at it what you wanted done first", "ahh, no I just had this report to write and I fell asleep in front of the computer with out writing a word and when I woke up the report was done" Sam looked worried, if Ratchet hadn't expected this then what else was coming, those fears were put to rest when Ratchet said "subconscious connection to your developing Cybertronian parts, nothing too strange there", Sam let out a deep breath and relaxed, he felt a soft hand on his own looking at it's owner he was greeted by a small smile from Bumblebee.

Turning back to Ratchet he asked "there's one more thing" Sam's words were cut off by Ratchet saying "no, you and bumblebee can't explore human mating practices until your upgrade has finished", Sam turned beet red at this, while Mikaela just let out a small laugh, Ratchet paused for a moment when he got an obscene com message from Bumblebee, shaking his head unfazed due to the fact the he had received far worse from Ironhide over the years, he waited for more questions, "that's not what I was going to ask ratchet", Sam said embarrassed, "I'm not hungry, I don't want food and I haven't eaten in over a day" the teen shifted a little nervously about what the answer to this would mean, "you aren't hungry because your spark is now powering most of your body, the few part's that still require energy from the break down of sugar, protein and so on have more than enough to keep them running, in fact your body has a surplus of these, they should however have used it all by the time your upgrade finishes", "upgrade" ratchet made it sound like he was a home computer in the shop for some addons, "so there's nothing to worry about, you'll be just fine and I think by the rate your going you should stay the same size too", Sam smiled that would mean that he could at least pass-off the appearance of a normal life, this was really good news not great news, but good enough to make the dark unknown future seem a little brighter.

"SAM", the cry came across the hanger so loud that no one could have missed it, "mom!" Sam exclaimed, Judy Witwicky ran across the hanger to her son, grabbing hold of him in a bear hug, after a few seconds she let go and took his face in both hands, "oh my poor baby where dose it hurt" she said while examining her son, "right where your holding me" Sam said, Judy took her hand of the glowing side of Sam's face, "other side mom" he chocked out, "oh god I'm so sorry" she said letting go completely, "it's ok mom I'll be fine" he lied, he wasn't sure if he would ever be fine with all this. Judy seemed to know something was wrong, "all right you" she said rounding on Ratchet "you tell me whats happening to my boy right now or I'll kick your ass", Sam had never seen anything like it this before his mom was causing an Autobot almost three times her height to back up and take a defensive stance as if faced by a Deceptcion, "how you doing son", Ron had walked over while his wife had been doing her usual protect my baby routine, "not to good dad" Sam weakly replied, Bumblebee took hold of the worried teen's hand and squeezed tightly.

"so who's your friend?" Ron asked noting how close the blond teen was sitting next to his son while holding his hand, "it's me Mr Witwicky, bumblebee" Bee said a little nervous, Ron just stood there for a second the corner of his mouth turned up in a little smile, "and who is this" Judy asked her attack on the now stunned Ratchet over for the moment, "it's bumblebee judy" Ron said a small smile never leaving his lips, "ohh god" she said, "mom it's" Sam tried to explain, "i can't believe you won", Judy said a little let down, "what?" Sam said looking from his mom to his dad and back again, "we had a bet over who you would fall for and I thought I was winning with Mikaela, but I guess your father was right and you chose bumblebee", she reached into her hand bag, fishing around for a second before pulling out a one dollar bill, "here you go ron" she said, "mom, dad you can not be betting on my love life" Sam said horrified, "how did you even know, I didn't know until yesterday", Ron just chuckled and said "son when a man gives his car a wash down he dosen't have an expression on his face after woulds that says god that was good", Mikaela couldn't hold it in any longer, she bent double laughing her eye's watering.

The shock of his parents bet took Sam's mind off things, it was like nothing had changed, like he was just living a normal life, or at least what had passed for a normal life for the past few years, he felt Bee shacking next to him, looking over he saw that Bumblebee was shaking with silent laughter, even his alt mode was rocking on it's shocks, he gave Bee a look of false anger that melted when he it was met with the puppy-dog eyes look, he just let his head fall forward so that his brow touched against Bee's, "are you guy's ok with all this?" Sam at last asked, "why wouldn't we be we were betting on it" his dad replied, "I mean with what's happening to me" Sam forced him self to say, "your our son sam and nothing will ever change that" Judy said, "your a Witwicky always have been always will be, you think a little robot puberty is going to change that, jolt told us on the way here, well you mother dragged it out of him one wire at a time" Ron added for which he received an elbow to the ribs for, Sam just started crying, he still had a family, they still loved him no matter what was happening to him, they were still there.
