It was Monday morning, Sam knew it was Monday morning because his internal clock told him that it was seven thirty on a Monday. He and Bumblebee had spent the the entire weekend locked in their new room and all Sam could think about it was "that was the best weekend ever". One after the other his system diagnostics flashed across his vision, when the display for his power settings came up Sam got a pleasant surprise. His power levels were at last almost normal, only three bars hovered above the normal power output line and Sam knew that all he had to do was find the right emotional balance in him self to get these to drop. "well someone could have told me that all I had to do was lock my self in a room with bee and no distractions for two days to get my power levels under control" the thought made Sam laugh as he hugged the Avatar of his lover. Bumblebee shifted only slightly as he was still deep in stasis; Sam could not help but love the look of total peace on his lovers face, as he pulled Bumblebee's Avatar closer the look intensified even more so that Bee looked as if he was in a state of total bliss.
How Sam wished that he could make this moment and feeling last forever, but Monday's work load was calling and soon both would have to leave the sanctuary of their room and attend college along with the other students. Hating him self for doing it Sam gently tried to wake Bumblebee, at first he got no response as Bee was too deep in bliss filled stasis, but all to soon his hand was being swatted away like it was an annoying insect. "come on bee" said Sam in the softest tone he could find "it's time to get going" Bumblebee shifted and mumbled "five more minutes, I want to watch sam sleep some more". Sam smiled gently and whispered in Bee's ear "I'm already awake bee, it's time you were too, we have classes this morning", this time Bumblebee responded with movement and he turned so that he now faced Sam head on. Slowly Bumblebee shook off the tight hold that stasis had on him and he opened his eyes to the sight of his lover Sam watching over him, "morning" said Bee his voice still heavy; "although I'd love to spend another day in bed with you we need to get up, we have classes to attend" said Sam as he tenderly brushed strands of blond hair from Bumblebee's eyes.
"I feel really drained, do you?" asked Bumblebee "a little, but that's a small price to pay for my power levels being almost normal" replied Sam; though still tired Bee's whole face lit up like a child's on Christmas morning as he said "you know what that means, we'll be able to bond for real soon and then we'll be together forever" the two hugged tightly feeling each others joy at the thought of being able to bond completely at last. Pulling away with all the speed of thawing ice Sam said "we really should get up bee, they'll miss us if we don't show up for class" as Sam moved his Avatar he noticed that his energy drain was higher than before, "I'd better sort this now" he thought. The small toolbox icon flashed as Sam accessed his power settings, the message "reconfiguring to new power output please stand by" appeared across his vision for a few seconds as Sam's systems powered down and up while the settings were altered, the last thing to be reconfigured was his Avatar which flickered for a moment as his new power settings were finalised and the message "new power usage settings complete" filled Sam's vision for a moment before it vanished.
It took Sam a few minutes to get used to the new settings; in this time Bumblebee pulled himself together and got out of bed as Sam's Avatar stood stock still. Once he was familiar with the new power settings Sam reformed his clothes and altered the fit here and there so that his clothes looked a little more baggy than usual. "what's with the new look?" asked Bee "I just felt like a different look today bee, for some reason I feel all relaxed and mellow and I want my clothes to match"; Bumblebee looked Sam's Avatar over and said "I like it, you should always wear your clothes like that". For Sam there could be no higher praise so he set his Avatar to always use this setting for his clothes. "are you ready for your first day of college?" asked Sam as he opened the door for Bumblebee, "with you by my side I feel ready for anything the world can throw at us" replied Bee.
Though early and still hours before most of the classes were due to start the halls of the dorm were filled with people heading in every direction possible. "welcome to rush hour" said Sam as a pack of guys pushed past him; Bumblebee was astounded by the chaos, he had only seen bot's in the heavy confusion of battle move like this but that was because there was a good chance of getting scrapped any second. Looking at the ever changing sea of humanity Bee asked "is it always like this?" "only first thing on Monday, half of these guys are probably just getting back from one party or another" and as if to prove Sam's point another group of teens staggered past and split heading towards different doors "I see what you mean sam" said Bumblebee. Slowly making their way through the crowded hall the two Avatars made for the outside of their dorm and a less crowded path.
Once outside in the fresh air both relaxed again and headed over to their alt forms, though they had spent all of the weekend focused on their Avatars there were moments when they switched their attention to their alt forms in order to check out the area; but that was nothing like looking their vehicle modes over through the eye's of an Avatar. To Sam and Bee's surprise Leo was heading over to Sam's alt as well, "LEO" called Sam and the man in question stopped and changed direction so that he was heading towards Sam's Avatar instead of his vehicle form. "I cant believe you two" were the first words to leave Leo's lips "all weekend, you guys were.." he just clenched his fists and made a high pitched "arrg" instead of saying the rest of his sentence. "do you know what's been happening out here?" Leo pointed to Bumblebee's Avatar and said "your bodyguard, guardian, what ever you want to call him let off some kind of power surge last night" Leo now pointed at some of the burnt out and blackened lights round the campus "the damaged is still being fixed, you know that if he keeps this up he'll get him self found out". Both Bumblebee and Sam were at a loss for words as neither had any idea that his had happened, "we'll talk to him about it" said Bee "well you better because I'm not getting involved in all this again; you know because of your actions in my room my rep is now officially classed as the walking undead here on campus" Leo backed away a good five feet and finished saying "I need at least one normal month to get back to where I was, so for the next thirty days whenever something weird happens I'm locking my self in my room putting my fingers in my ears and humming very loudly"
Leo backed away some more before turning round and headed back to the dorm and some sense of normalcy; "I don't remember realising a burst of energy last night" commed Sam "to be fair were were really occupied last night, but no I don't think that you could have released any energy on purpose with out realising it" replied Bee. Sam switched his attention to his alt form and and ran a detailed check of his systems for the last twenty four hours; everything looked normal except for ten seventeen Sunday night, when his system register a massive power release through his emp generator. Shocked by the data Sam traced it back through his memory banks, his internal log showed that there had been power build-ups in his system that hadn't been purged properly and during his time with Bumblebee these build-ups had sought emergency release. Thinking hard as to what exactly he had been doing at that moment Sam remembered that was the exact time his Avatar had undergone it's own release, "ahh, well that kind of explains it" thought Sam. Bringing his attention back to his Avatar Sam looked over to Bumblebee and commed "I think I know what happened bee", as Sam explained things the cheeks on his Avatar turned bright red as his mind associated what had happened with a an all to human event experienced by teen-aged males.
Bumblebee just listened to the com message as the cheeks darkened on Sam's Avatar "is that all it was" commed Bee once Sam had finished explaining "I thought it was something serious, we're gonna have to get you out on the road some more so that you can burn up that excess energy faster". Sam didn't know if he was at a loss for words because he had undergone something that he though he had left behind after puberty or the fact that Bumblebee was just brushing it aside like it was nothing important. At last finding some words that made sense together Sam commed "but what if I had blown out all the computers and equipment round here?" "then it would have still been an accident" replied Bumblebee "after all you didn't even know it had happened sam, it's still going to take some time for you to get used to all the little differences in your new body, remember we only covered the basics back at nest H.Q it might take years for you to fully understand every little detail of every little part". Bumblebee hugged Sam gently before he said "just let it go for the moment sam, you have all the time in the world to learn how to control these little details".
Sam's mind was far from focused on his up coming class as they walked through the campus; in fact he was so distracted that Bumblebee had to navigate the corridors and steer Sam's Avatar around corners and obstacles. Sam only started to come back down to earth when Bee said "we're here sam" just as they reached the doors to their astronomy class, Sam looked around wondering when he had reached the doors to the lecture hall that held the least favourite teacher of his life bar none. The rest of the way back to earth came with a sharp fall and sudden stop provided by none other than professor Colan "welcome back Mr Einstein, do you have any more theory's you wish to share with us mortals or can I teach this class my humble theories" the remark was filled with as much snide as the man could manage. Instantly Bumblebee was filled with a contempt for this man who did his best to look like he was the centre of the universe. "well I was informed that we would be having a new student join us today, but I wasn't told that he would be coming here with Mr Einstein, so tell us" Colan paused for a second as he looked up Bumblebee's human name "Mr Bombus, what depths of knowledge have you learned while in the presents of such a great mind". For a few seconds images of Bumblebee's robot form smashing through the wall behind the guy filled Sam's mind as the feeling of anger flowed through their link, but Bee just made a small smirk and said "well why don't you ask me, I promise to keep the answers simple for you".
Colan seemed to expand like an enraged frog as his face took on a deep shade of red, then he calmed him self before saying "very well, here we have a very rough diagram of our solar system, as you can see we have all the planets listed but not to scale, beneath it I've written part of the equation for the movement of the earth through our solar system, since you know so much after spending all this time with Mr Einstein you should be able to finish it with no problem" Colan picked up a marker and held it to the board "now whatever you enter I will mark out as earth's path through the solar system, so you'd better get it right or there goes earth". Bee gave Sam a small wink as he headed to the front of the class, picking up a small marker he finished the sequence and said "that should make things easy for you on this scale, all you have to do is draw a circle even though the real earth takes an elliptical path through the solar system". Colan bared his teeth slightly as he drew the circle across the board; not wanting to test his luck Bumblebee decided that he should head back to Sam and take a seat like any other student.
"well it seems that we have another bright spark here with us today and since your so good at this why don't you start of with a paper on how this movement through the solar system affects the earth" Colan slammed the marker down hard and the plastic case broke causing ink to leak onto his hand "make it thirty pages long on top of today's assignment" he added as he tried to wipe the ink of his hand. Turning back to the board the professor wiped it clean and started with his lecture "sam I totally understand if you want to step on him at any point in the near future, in fact I'll tell optimus that you were defending your self in battle" commed Bumblebee "I don't think I need to take things that far bee, though I did have this idea about dropping the thicker papers on his foot from time to time" replied Sam.
