Sam awoke to darkness, not a dark room, but total darkness, like he couldn't open his eyes, there was nothing, then it hit him there was no sound either, no feeling, it was like he was separate from everything, he tried to move only to find that his body would not respond, Sam started panicking, he fought with all his might trying to make his limbs respond even if he hurt him self ,pain would be a welcome change to the nothing he was feeling. Just when he thought that nothing was going to happen words flashed in front of his eyes, the Cybertronian made no sense to him, he wished it was in something he could understand, no sooner had he wanted it than it happened, the words flickered and changed, the message now read "remain calm and still while restart from stasis completes", Sam read the words over and over, so it had happened, he was a full Autobot now, his body was getting ready to wake up or start up for the first time.
The message remained unchanged for far to long, Sam wondered if he was going to stay like this forever, if something had gone wrong then he would be trapped in his own mind with only these words to keep him company, then the letters deleted them selves, the screen remained blank for only a second before new words appeared, "system check in progress, please stand by", the message flashed a few times before a list of checks replaced it, the words flew by so fast that Sam could not keep track, the only thing he could make out from the ever changing sequence was the word "ok", it ended every line, finally the words "system check complete, all systems ok, beginning restart" flickered into view, his vision returned to blackness, then light came in, slowly at first, then all of a sudden he could see a metal ceiling, girders and supports criss crossed it and bright florescent lights shone down, all of a sudden information boxes appeared, each one had a small line that connected it to an object, each one described what the object in question was, what it was made of, it's energy and more, Sam didn't care about that, he shifted a-little, his body at last responding to his commands.
Slowly Sam raised his arm, there was no feeling of weight, he brought it in to view, the hand he saw was not his own, polished ebony black metal glinted as he turned it one way then another, he started to freak, he had been told this would happen, but seeing it, feeling it, was different, the old him was gone, only this thing was left, he cried out in fear and panic, one word came out, it sounded wrong, different, the cry was no not his voice, "BUMBLEBEE". There was a sudden movement near him as if something jumped in to action from stillness, a shadow filled his vision, then he focused and the shadow became Bumblebee's face filled with a mix of worry and relief, Sam felt Bee's arms around him, holding him, he could hear Bee saying how happy he was that Sam was awake, but something was wrong, the Autobot was in his robot form, his arms were around Sam's body, around him like a hug, not holding him like Bee had before, not Sam sitting in one hand pressed up against the huge body, a normal sized hug.
Sam bolted up right, he backed away from Bumblebee, "whats happened, whats going on" the sound of his own voice made things worse, it sounded so strange so metallic, the sound of metal on metal echoed round the room, Sam looked down to see his armored arm's being held by Bumblebee's yellow ones, he was frightened, Ratchet had said that he wouldn't get any bigger, that he would stay the same size, the life that he thought he could have shattered into pieces in his mind,
"it's alright sam I'm here, I not going anywhere", Bee spoke softly, "what happened", as soon as Sam had said the words he wrenched a hand away and held it to his throat, "just think on how you want to talk, remember the sound of your own voice" Bumblebee said gently as he pulled Sam's hand back into his own, closing his eyes/optics the frightened teen come Autobot thought about his own voice, he remembered home movies, little web recordings, anything he could think of that held the sound of his voice, words appeared again "adjusting vocal patterns", the message flashed for a second and then was replaced with "adjustment complete", "bee" the voice was his own again, "what happened?" Sam said, his voice filled with fear.
Bee looked at him gently, trying to find a way to break the news, but he couldn't find anyway to soften the blow, "do you remember the allspark splinter that started all this, the one that brought you back" Sam nodded, how could he forget, "it had more power than ratchet thought, when you went into stasis the last time you started outputting energy, lot's of energy", Bumblebee paused and looked a sadly at his words, "what is it bee?" Sam asked, "I didn't detect it, your power output is so close to mine that I couldn't see it, but the decepticons could, ratchet had to hide your power signature while we got you to nest H.Q, I let you down, I didn't even know that you were giving away your position and were in danger until ratchet came breaking down the door, then we had to get in the plane and fly down here while he tried to mask you from them, we nearly didn't make it, you could have been killed and it was my fault, you are the one thing I love most in this world and I couldn't protect you" the yellow Autobot was close to tears, "I'm safe bee, I'm ok, you didn't fail me", Sam couldn't help it, he wanted to panic he wanted to scream about how he had changed, but seeing Bumblebee like that, hurt and in pain pushed everything else away, Sam let go of Bee's arms and hugged his robot form, for the first time he was able to reach round and hold his Bumblebee in his arms.
Bee felt so safe in these arms, Sam held him until the hurt faded, then Bumblebee pulled back a little and told Sam the rest, "when the upgrade started your body tissues were converted to cybertronian counterparts, you started putting on more mass as your body became denser, when we landed I carried you out of the plane, you weight more than four times your original weight" Bee paused a little for Sam, then carried on when he was ready, "over the next few days your skin changed into the armor plating of an autobot protoform, I thought that it was over and that you would be with me again, but the allspark splinter had other ideas, it started unfurling it's mass into your body, this caused you protoform to grow until you stopped at about sixteen and a half feet, just a little shorter than me", Sam was stunned, how had something so small done all this, but then it hadn't always been so small, once the all spark had been far larger than any Autobot and it had shrunk so that it could be moved easily, now some of that hidden size had been poured into him.
Sam sat there shocked he looked at him self he was no longer Sam Witwicky, he was something else now, "how is everyone with this, with me?" he asked, "your mom was a little upset, I think she wanted you to stay the same size, so she could dote on you some more, but that's kind of hard when she need's to be lifted up to look you in the eye, your dad, he was a little quite through the whole thing, he just kept close by when they came to visit, he looked a little sad but kept saying things like "don't worry the government will pay for a built in garage to be added to the house so sam can stay at home", your mom poked in the ribs every time he did though, I think he wanted to talk to you about all this, will says that you'll be the same goofy kid just taller" Sam stopped Bee from talking, he hadn't told Sam how he felt about all this, "bee how do you feel about all this, do you still" Sam paused afraid of the words and their answer, "do you still l, love me", he said the last part softly not really wanting to be heard. Bumblebee just looked at him, Sam grew worried, Bee moved slowly, his hands gently touching the new metal, he stopped when he reached Sam's face holding it he looked Sam in the optics, "you are the most beautiful thing in the world to me you always have been and nothing will ever change that, I loved you when weren't the same species, do you think that this would change anything", Bee moved closer as he said this, slowly resting his brow against Sam's.
Sam could fell the love coming from Bee, it was like electric fire, every touch, every place that they connected, he could feel it flowing into him and out of him, he could tell that Bumblebee could feel the same thing coming from him, he wanted more, he wanted something so bad, he didn't know what it was, just that he wanted it like nothing he had ever wanted in his life, slowly he felt metal shifting, his chest plates were moving aside making an opening, "Bee" he moaned his voice filled with lust, Bee was shaking like he was fighting his own body, then every thing stopped and Sam was forced apart from his lover, rage over took him, who had done this, he could tell that it wasn't Bumblebee, his lover had been giving in to the feeling, "that's enough sam, your spark is still to unstable to be bonded to another yet".
Ratchet stood there looking at him, not angry just protective, "what the hell ratchet, why did you" Ratchet cut Sam off, "you could have injured bumblebee, your spark is still new and it's very powerful" the words cut Sam like a knife "injured bumblebee" how could he, he loved him, what he was doing felt so right, he needed it and so did Bee, how could it be wrong, "there's a lot you don't know, both of you" Ratchet said gently, "you have a lot of power in you sam, you need to learn to control it, I know that you want to do this more than anything, I know how strong the pull is on both of you, but for the moment you need to stop, when your ready I will personally make sure that the two of you have all the time you need, but not now", Ratchet moved slowly as he offered a hand to first Bumblebee then Sam, once the two were back on their feet Ratchet explained things further, "you two are very special, I haven't seen two bots capable of bonding in such a long time, even before we lost the allspark, before the war there were few who could bond to one another like you two and those that could were envied by many, especially by those who became decepticons, such a connection brings pure love to those who are bonded, their lives are increased as two sparks beat as one, the feeling is beyond anything I can describe" Sam thought that this wasn't helping, everything Ratchet said only made him want to bond with Bee all the more.
Sam was brought from his thoughts when Ratchet said, "the problem is that you still have a lot of allspark power in you and you don't know how to control it, so until you do I want you to put a lock on your spark chamber, set it to only open when your power levels are stable" Sam didn't want too, he wanted to join himself to Bee, but the thought of hurting the one he loved most in the whole world made him, as before he thought about what he wanted, what he had to do for Bumblebee's sake, his body responded plates snapped closed and the message "lock established" flickered across his vision, Ratchet nodded at him gently, then placed a hand on his shoulder and spoke with a gentleness that he had never heard "you did the right thing, if anything had happened you would have never forgiven your self, now the pair of you go into stasis, you will need it, bee stay with sam your alright now that his spark chamber is locked and don't worry, you'll be ready before you know it and I'm sure your parents would want to know about your union, you make such a large celebration of it here on earth even more than on cybertron", Sam looked at him confused, Bee spoke as if sensing the question "a bonding could be translated as marriage", Sam was glad that his new body couldn't blush, or at least he hoped it couldn't.
Ratchet watched as the two young bots settled into stasis on the large metal table that until now had been used as a medical platform for injured Autobots, the two looked so peaceful together, it was hard for Ratchet to stop them, but for the moment their safety mattered more than the bonding, he scanned them both, the readings were not good, neither could take being so close to the other without bonding for much longer, he would have to find a solution that wouldn't result in them being separated, he knew they couldn't stand that either, Optimus voice brought him out of his thoughts "how are they doing ratchet?", "their both a little drained after I stopped the bonding, I know that the need will only get stronger and I hope that sam will learn to control the power with in him sooner rather than later" Ratchet answered solemnly, "I must ask you, is he a prime?" Optimus already knew the answer, though he hoped he was wrong, "judging by the readings, yes" Ratchet replied, the Autobot leader let out a blast of air from his vents, the equivalent of a sigh, then rubbed his hand across his face deep in thought, "I don't want you to tell him yet ratchet, he's been through to much already, I want him to have some time to get his life in order, to learn to live with what has happened and hopefully find a way to accept it, he has a lot of time to learn about his new life and status, for now you and I will be the only ones to know the full truth" Optimus looked at Ratchet there was something the Medbot wasn't telling him, "I may have implied that there was a chance of this when he first came to me, but it was only a possibility, at the time", Ratchet shifted uneasy as he spoke, Optimus slowly nodded, "then if he asks I will speak to him about it, but until he does leave it be, when morning comes wake his parents and mikaela tell them that he is out of stasis, he will need them and us to help him through all this, all we can do is hope that the bonds of family transcend the flesh on this world, because if they don't sam may never recover", Optimus said this with a heavy weight in his spark chamber, he had seen war destroy the bonds of family Cybertron, he hoped that fate had given the human race a gift seen so rarely on his home world.
