Five days had passed and now the work on the new garage was complete. The contractor had done a good job despite Ron's constant interference and now a building that could have been mistaken for an extension to the Witwicky home stood in the back yard. Unlike the old garage this one looked strong enough to withstand a small tornado. Though not any taller than the old one it was wide and long enough for both Sam and Bumblebee to move around inside at the same time. Now christened their second room Bee decided that they should move a few things in to make it a little more comfortable. The old T.V that had made it's home in the former garage now sat quietly in the corner as did a few other objects that he had claimed as little additions to what was once his room, but now that it was as much Sam's room as his he wanted Sam to add some things for him self. So Sam brought a few things down from their bedroom and lightly added them to the growing clutter of their garage/room. Though unexpected this new addition to their home did have a few benefits the first being that both he and Bumblebee could take robot form any time they wanted, the second major benefit was that they no longer had to worry so much about attacks from vandals as the new garage came with a very strong set of locks and a very powerful alarm system that was guaranteed to cause any one trying to break in to run for their life.

Stretching out in his robot mode for the first time in days Sam said "well they did a great job bee, this place is incredible" Bumblebee leaned back against a chair made out of old tyres and said "yeh your dad is the best, even though he did get the government to pay for all this". "yeh, well you pay a life time of taxes and tell me how you feel about it then bee" said Ron as he carried a large box in his arms. Sam quickly took it off him and placed it out of the way as he said "it's not that dad, but you have a habit of making the government pay for all your home improvements lately, you even had them pay for a new penthouse for mojo and frankie" "well they said that if I had any damage that was the result of bumblebee's living here they'd take care of it and they didn't mind really" replied Ron as he inspected the large garage/bedroom.

"well it's nice that the pair of you can spend some time in your robot mode's at home, but I wish that we could have made this place a little higher for the both of you" said Ron as he looked up at the roof. "it's ok, ron we're used to moving round like this and anyway we spend most of our time here using our avatars" said Bee "yeh but you two shouldn't have to live your lives like this, you should be able to park your alt forms out side if you want to, not keep your selves locked in here because of some creep with a bug up his but" replied Ron. Sam crouched lower so that he could look his father square in the face as he said "it really is ok dad, we're all right in here, besides one day we won't have to hide what we really are from the rest of the world and when that day comes we'll never have to worry about guy's like trent and his friends, because if they try anything then we'll just pick them up and ask them what they think they're doing while we call the cops" "yeh, well when that day comes you make sure that your mom and I have front row seats to the show" replied Ron.

"well isn't this cosy" said the voice of Simmons, the man him self was standing at the door to the garage/room holding a very full briefcase and looking even less happy about being there than he had the last time. "that's not much of a disguise you know, your face looks just like your old one only larger and made of metal" Simmons comment caused Sam to pause for a second before he transformed back into his alt form and activated his Avatar. "it isn't a disguise, that's the real me" the words had never sounded so genuine to Sam before now, even as he said them they carried some untold power that made him feel more like an Autobot than ever before. "yeh kid, but just remember I know nothing about you being all autobot, I have no wish to start making more forms from scratch, plus I had that pencil pushing weasel galloway snooping into what I was doing for the last few days" Bumblebee decided not to comment on how Simmons was now a pencil pusher too and asked "what was he asking about?". "the guy thought that you should have stayed on the base and not come home with lover boy over here, he wanted to know what happened so I told him the story that I was told when I got sent here and that didn't sit with him very well; he also doesn't like the fact that the president has granted the autobots the right to build a home for their people or the fact that he's lost a lot of his influence in the white-house, it turns out that when people found out what he was proposing would have resulted in the end of the world they decided to look at his opinions on the autobots differently" Simmons smirked a little as he said the last few words. "from what I hear there are those that are questioning his links to large corporations, corporations that would stand to make a lot of money if they got hold of even one autobot for study"

Sam was in no way surprised at the news, he had been forced to spend time on the same ship as Galloway on the way back from Egypt and even his limited contact with the guy had given him more than enough hate to last an Autobot lifetime. "so is he gonna cause trouble for us?" asked Sam "if he can, but I've managed to cover everything so if he tries all he'll run into is red tape and dead ends, but you guys have to promise me that you'll keep things quite for a while" pleaded Simmons. "we don't go looking for trouble you know" said Sam "and your sure that he can't cause trouble about all this?" "look kid I managed to get a few gay rights groups involved under the pretence that you guys are a normal couple that's had trouble with local anti-gay thugs, thing is one of them knew that you were having trouble, some guy called max said that he knew about you guys and this trent having a run in, so if galloway tries to cause any trouble he'll have to explain why the government is interfering in your relationship to these groups and that will take a lot of paperwork and red tape plus if he does then he'll still have the problem from most of these groups as they won't like the idea of him interfering in the first homosexual relationship between a human and an alien" the smirk had returned to Simmons face once more as he explained.

"so, lets get to work, I need you to fill in the last of these forms ben, once that's done I can give you all your I.D's and things, just remember that you can be arrested for speeding now and unless it's an emergency you cant contact the government for help" Simmons walked into their garage/room just as Bumblebee started to transform into his alt mode. He opened the brief case and pulled out the needed paper work "here are the forms you need to fill in, check them over if you like just no comments if I got some spelling wrong or anything this was a rush job" as Simmons spoke Bee's Avatar looked over the papers and checked for any loopholes or clauses. Satisfied that everything was in order Bumblebee filled out the last details and signed the appropriate boxes "ok that's everything" said Simmons "here are all the documents you need to pass as a human, passport, drivers license, you get the idea". Simmons then turned his attention to Sam and said "I talked to your college, ben is now enrolled there and I managed to swing things so that the two of you have a room together, you guys have all most all the same classes together" pausing for a second Simmons went over something in his head then carried on "you guys have just two classes apart, while sam is in math you'll be in latin and when your in math sam will be in english, it's the best I could do for the both of you and believe me I tried to keep you guys together as much as possible, it's less paperwork if your together when something happens".

Bumblebee did not like the sound of Sam being away from him even for one class let alone two, sensing that Bee was unhappy about this arrangement Sam said "it's ok bee it's only two classes and we can keep in touch through our com link" "did not hear that, do not want to hear that" commented Simmons. Bumblebee just smiled gently and hugged Sam as Simmons gathered up his things "you know I always wondered why you fought so hard to free him from sector seven and now I get it, you were in love with him even then" Simmons shock his head and finished saying "well at least you could have done a lot worse, sure he's from another planet but at least you guys really love each other and that's more than I can say for some people on this rock, goodbye, hope I never see you again and make sure that you look normal to the outside world, you know just two gay guys in love not robots from outer space and please if you have any problems call someone else". As Simmons left this time he waved goodbye his face filled with relief over the fact that he hadn't been fired or shot at again.

Bee was looking at the photograph on his drivers license "why do I look so awful on this thing?" he asked "I could show you the photograph on mine bee but I don't want you having nightmares about it" replied Sam "it can't be that bad" said Ron as he took the license from Bumblebee's hands. For a moment he stared at it taking in the picture "wow, that is bad, tell you what if the police ever ask to see it just smile as you hand it over and hope for the best" commented Ron as he handed it back to Bumblebee. Sam shot his dad a death glare for the comment "it makes him look more human than a perfect one would" added Ron as he tried to dig him self out of the verbal hole he was standing in "well at least it let's me blend in more" said Bee a tone of disappointment in his voice.

"we'd better call the college and get the dates we're due to go back" said Sam trying to change the conversation "after all we want to make sure that we don't miss any classes or anything" the topic change was far from subtle but it worked as Bumblebee's thoughts turned to how much fun it would be going to college with Sam. "ok sam, we can use our coms to place the call so we don't tie up the phone line" said Bee. Bumblebee called first, he spent the better part of twenty minutes on the com, at first he was put through to one of the dorm heads but as soon as he told them his name he was transferred to the Dean. "wow that was interesting" said Bee "I don't know what simmons told them but I was given the royal treatment, nothing was too much trouble for them; anyway they want me to move in on friday next week the dean said that I should have all weekend to settle in that way". "that's great bee, I just hope that I get as warm a welcome" commented Sam, opening his comlink Sam called the college and asked for the head of his dorm. Like Bumblebee he was quickly transferred to the Dean, however his reception was far more frosty "Mr Witwicky, so nice to hear from you again" said the Dean, her tone gave Sam pause "erm, yeh, hi I'm calling because I'm ready to return to college". Sam could almost feel the air grow heavier with each passing second "Mr Witwicky there are some students who come here and have no problem, while others have a few difficulty's they soon get over them and then there are students like you who attract trouble where ever they go, the government may have cover the damages to the college but their help will only get you so far in this life so let me inform you that if any more trouble finds it's way here because of you then your tuition will be terminated" the Dean paused for a second and Sam could imagine her face screwing up in a look of hate. "you will not be returning to your old room Mr Witwicky, you have been assigned to a new room with a new student, he is the son of a visiting dignitary so you will show him the utmost respect and cause none of your brand of chaos near him is that clear" all Sam could say was "yes". "very good, he will be here next friday so I expect you to be here before or on that day and Mr Witwicky I intend to keep an eye on you I have no wish for your actions to cause any further damage to this institutions reputation" and with that she hung up.

Bumblebee could feel through their link that it hadn't gone as well as his call "that bad huh sam?" "worse bee, I think she still blames me for what happened with the library and everything" replied Sam. Bumblebee just came over and pulled Sam into his arms as he whispered "don't worry sam, I'll make it all better no matter what happens", how could it be the Bumblebee had such a way of making things like this go away with only a few words. "thanks bee" replied Sam as he kissed his lover tenderly on the lips. "well if this doesn't work out at least I still have the option of helping optimus and the other autobots out and who knows maybe I'll get the chance to study the stars up close if I do" thought Sam as he lost himself in Bee embrace.
