Time moves on and the moment of awakening arrives.

Ron Witwicky sat waiting in his chair as the heat of the desert air drifted in from out side, it was late afternoon and the combination of the heat and the comfort of the chair was causing him to drift off. Slowly his eyes slipped closed for a moment before he forced them open but his effort lasted only for a few seconds as gravity pulled his eyelids down again. Part of Ron desperately tried to keep his eyes open but it was slowly being overwhelmed by the rest of him that was already so happy about the comfort of the chair he was now sitting in and the warmth of the air that was flowing into the room. Again the world dimmed as Ron's eyes slid closed and threatened not to open again but as he forced the muscles to move once more he was sure that he saw movement from the motionless metal giants that he was keeping watch over. Ron looked across the room through blurry eyes as he looked for any change in the position of his son and Bumblebee's robot forms. He was sure that he had seen something move but from what he saw it looked like they hadn't budged even an inch so Ron sat back in his chair and as the heat started to waft over him once again he drifted once more towards sleep. Ron had just lost battle with the part of him self that wanted a good nap when a whirring and hissing noise caught his attention snapping him fully awake.

Ron got to his feet and watched as a single metal cable slowly and reluctantly started to disengage it's self from Sam's body. The cable moved almost like it was in pain as it pulled away from the form that it had been connected to. Ron watched as it returned to it's home with in Bumblebee's body almost like it was being made to do so by some other force that could not be seen. Another cable started to move, this time it released it's self from Bumblebee's body and retracted if possible with even less speed than the last one. The cable returned to Sam's body as reluctantly as it's opposite had returned to Bee's body but once it was back where it belonged the metal plates that covered it closed over it preventing it from moving again. Ron was mesmerized buy the show as cables detached one at a time each not wanting to return to it's original place. It was only when the last cable retracted that Ron remembered that Ratchet had given him strict orders to call him and Optimus when it looked like that bonding was coming to an end. Quickly Ron fumbled in his pocked for his phone as he punched in the number for Ratchet so that he could let him know what was happening. As the call connected the metal tunnel that had formed between Sam and Bee slowly started dismantling it's self "ratchet it's time their coming out of it" said Ron as he watched the plates slide back to where they belonged. Ratchets voice replied quickly "I'll notify optimus while I'm on route don't interfere no matter what happens".

After Ratchet ended the call Ron put the phone back in his pock as he watched almost in a trance like state as the bridge continued to brake apart. By now a small hole had formed that allowed him to see into the inside of the bridge, Ron could make out a pair of pulsing lights beating in harmony with one another. He watched as the lights seemed to grow dim but as another plate shifted he saw that the lights were not going dim they were simply moving away from the opening and back to the spark chambers where they belonged. Ten minutes passed and most of the bridge had dismantled it's self as the metal plating returned to it's normal positioning. Ron watched as the last plates shifted back into place covering the spark chambers and protecting the fragile sparks with in each bots chest. For a moment nothing happened then the optics on each metal form returned to their normal state and both Sam and Bee started to move stiff and awkward as if they had been in an extended stasis. Sam looked round the room and caught sight of Ron who was staring at him as if he had not seen him in years. "hey dad" said Sam in a dreamy voice as he smiled at Ron gently, "hey sam" replied Ron "you ok?" he added. Sam just continued to smile at him as Bumblebee said "hi ron" in an equally dreamy voice, "hi bee" replied Ron now a little confused. Sam and Bee locked optics with each other as they brought their heads together in their form of a kiss. It lasted for a few seconds before they wrapped their arms round each other and almost fell over before falling into stasis like they had been active for days on end with out any kind of rest.

Ron was almost shaken of his feet by the shock wave produced when Sam and Bee hit the floor hard. It took a few seconds for Ron to fully regain his balance but when he did he saw that Sam and Bee both had peaceful looks on their faces. He watched as little gears and parts shifted as they rested now deep in stasis, the small noises and very slight movements were a welcome change from the total stillness that came with the bonding process. Outside the sound of a vehicle caught Ron's attention and he looked over to the door to see Ratchet transforming and entering the room. The Medbot looked at the pair and asked "how were they when they came out of the bonding, did you notice anything different about them?". Ron looked dumbfounded as he answered "no they seemed normal if not a little out of it when they said hello to me", "that's all they said, are you sure" asked Ratchet. Ron still slightly stunned by all this thought for a second before he said "sam said "hey dad" and bee said "hi ron" and those are their exact words". Ratchet shifted as he scanned the metal forms checking their readings and comparing them to earlier scans that he had performed on the pair before and during the bonding process. Ratchet shifted again as he asked "how were they behaving, was sam still angry or was he more like his old self, did bumblebee seem different in any way from his normal self?". Again Ron thought about what had happened, thought this was something important he had been so surprised by Sam and Bee coming out of the bonding that he hadn't paid that much attention to all the details.

"ahh" Ron started as he tried to describe and remember what had happened in more detail "they seemed like them selves if not a little out of it". Ratchet looked puzzled as he asked "out of it?, what exactly do you mean out of it?", "you know out of it, geez you guys have the weirdest gaps in your english, they looked like they were half in stasis like they weren't really in this world, ahh like they were in a dream state" said Ron as he tried to find a way to explain events in detail. Ratchet let out a deep "humm" as he ran the information through his processor while comparing it to the readings he had taken. After a few minutes of standing in silence and watching as the Medbot analyzed his scans Ron asked "is something wrong with them, please tell me that something hasn't gone wrong I don't think judy could handle it". Ratchet snapped out of his thoughts and said "no nothing is wrong I just needed to run some tests, I was hoping to be here when they came out of the bonding but I was delayed and optimus was also unable to make it here in time as well". Ron looked at Ratchet his face asking for a better explanation "basically during the bonding process the sparks of the bots involved exchange a part of each other, this transfer in essence give each bot a part of the other and when the bonding is finished that part shows it's self in different ways, I.E a change in speech patterns or slight alterations in personality" explained Ratchet. "I told you this before ron, but I wanted someone here who knew what to look for so that I had an idea what to look for after they awoke, after all the last thing we want is for some of the emotions from the instability point to be permanently incorporated into the spark of either or both" continued Ratchet.

The though of either his son or Bumblebee running round the way Sam had been acting during the instability was a frightening thing for Ron. "I thought that all that stuff would go away after they bonded?" asked Ron "usually it does but some times in very rare cases some of it can remain especially if the bonding isn't normal" replied Ratchet. Ron sat down in his chair and said "because he started off as human" "no because he's so young, in fact he's the youngest to ever bond as far as I know usually it takes more than a few centuries before a bot finds his bonded" explained Ratchet. Ron let out a heavy sigh as he asked "so what do we do now wake them up so we can find out if one or both of them want to try and kill us for being here?". Ratchet looked at the two young Autobots before he said "no it's best to let them rest as they need to recover their energy levels but either my self or optimus should be here when they wake up". Ron got off his chair as he said "well since your here I'm heading home to tell judy that her son is finally out of his bonding, I'll leave the whole possessive he mine everyone keep away part out of it for the moment, if she'll let me".

Ratchet stretched as shifted his position on the Autobot sized chair was sitting on, he had managed to rearrange his schedule so that he could keep watch over Sam and Bumblebee until they woke up. At least that had been the plan, he had only managed to make a window large enough to give him self five hours before he had to go back to the Medbay but when that time came around Optimus had been able to clear some time so that he could keep watch . As Ratchet continued to shift his internal clock told him that it was now past time for him to get going but as Optimus had yet to arrive he decided to push things until the Autobot leader was firmly seated in the chair he was now sitting on. The sound of an engine from out side told him that Optimus had finally arrived with out the need of a scan, from outside he heard the sound of Apaches voice as he welcomed Optimus. Ratchet had told Apache the good news as soon as Ron had left to tell his wife, the aerial Autobot had been over joyed that his new commanding officer had come through the process safely. Ratchet waited as the conversation continued hoping that Apache wouldn't keep Optimus too long as Ratchet had to inspect the progress of Gibbs who was still undergoing physiotherapy to help in learning how to control the replacement arm Ratchet had created for him.

Finally the conversation ended and Optimus came in out of the cold night air saying "I'm sorry I'm late ratchet I was delayed by simmons who wanted to give an up date on his investigation into the ticks". "it's all right optimus I should make it.. in..." Ratchet trailed off as movement from the young Autobots caught his attention. Sam was slowly stirring from stasis, he felt like he had been in stasis forever and a day as it fought to keep hold of him like a starved man holding on to a meal. Slowly he shifted and was happy to find that Bumblebee was still close to him, as he slowly pulled him self back into the waking world he started to fully remember the bonding and what he had experienced. Thought Sam could remember it all he was unable to find any words to describe what he had seen and felt, it was like a whole other world so alien from everything he knew that nothing on earth could be likened to it. But that didn't matter, all that mattered was that he had shared that world and him self with Bumblebee. Even now Sam could feel his spark now bonded with a piece of Bee's spark and he could feel the piece of his own spark that was bonded with Bee's. A smile broke across Sam's face as he knew that both he and Bumblebee were joined for the rest of their lives by this act, an act that they could experience any time they wanted again and again. Though part of him missed the though of using their Avatars for human style encounters, "we could still do that as well" thought Sam as he imagined pulling over in some remote spot with Bee and the two of them finding a comfortable spot on his hood underneath the stars.

Sam's optics slowly drifted open and the first thing he saw was Bumblebee's face in a state of total peace. Sam brushed his fingers over the warm metal feeling every detail and contour that made up his bonded's face. The gentle contact was all that was needed to bring Bumblebee out of stasis and in a few moments his optics were firmly focused of Sam's face as he said "I love waking up like this". The sound of a footstep got the attention of the two young Autobots as they got up and turned to face Optimus and Ratchet who had been watching them. Ratchet braced him self as he was unsure of how either bot might react now that they were finished bonding. For a moment the room was in silence then Sam said "hi" as he smiled at them both. Ratchet kept a close watch on the two young Autobots as Optimus approached them asking "how are you to feeling now that your thirty five day bonding has finished?". Both Sam and Bee looked at each other for a second before they both asked "how long?" in total shock. "you were both under for thirty five days straight" replied Optimus "it didn't feel like days, it was..." but Sam trailed off as he was unable to find the words to describe his memories of the passage of time. "it's all right" said Optimus "neither of you will be able to explain what you experienced to anyone, it's perfectly normal". Ratchet kept watch over both bots, from the way they were standing he could tell that Sam was still being protective of Bumblebee as he kept him self between the scout and Optimus at all times. A few movements from Bee told Ratchet that he was totally happy with the arrangement and wanted to stay close to Sam at all times, "at least he seems to have his emotions under control now and it looks like that's the only residual transfer" thought Ratchet as he stepped forward.

"optimus I think they had enough for tonight we should get going" said Ratchet as he commed Optimus saying "they look like their acting normal, though sam is still a little over protective of bee". Optimus nodded at Ratchet as he said "you to should get some more rest you parents will want to see you in the morning as will the others when we make arrangements for your celebration". Sam nervously scratched the back of his head as he said "ahh thanks optimus". Sam watched the two older bots leave thinking of how he was going to face some kind of party stroke wedding ceremony. A small tug from Bumblebee caused Sam to turn round as he saw Bee transform into his Camero alt. Sam quickly transformed and activated his Avatar curios as to why Bumblebee had transformed. Sam's Avatar had changed back to it's more normal state aside from the skin tight leather pants that he now wore. Sam watched as Bumblebee's Avatar formed on the hood of his Camaro alt, the blond Avatar was wearing only a pair of pants with the top button undone so that they hung invitingly open round his waist. The wolf like grin returned to Sam's face as he stalked forward and pressed Bee's Avatar down against his own hood saying "thirty five days straight wasn't enough for you?". Bee reached up and replied "we both have a lot of stamina thirty five day's is nothing, now are you gonna come get me my big bad wolf". Sam grinned as he leaned in and kissed Bee deeply while pinning the arms of the blond Avatar.
