2. Snow
Bumblebee's tires burned over the black tar of I-80 as the yellow mech passed an aged semi, a trill of impatience burning in his chassis.
Where are we going 'Bee?" Raf's voice pipped up, surprising Bumblebee, for his young partner had been asleep since Bumblebee had left the base. It had been hard for Bumblebee to convince Ratchet to bridge the duo to Utah especially, as the grumpy mech had snapped, because of the very possible threat of Decepticons finding them. Bumblebee had assured the old medic that if anything even seemed off he would call for a GroundBridge immediately. To say Ratchet wasn't a fan of the idea was an understatement but he relented, muttering something about having peace and quiet for the first time, and let Bumblebee and Raf through the GroundBridge.
Bumblebee gave a small bwob to Raf, which only confused the young human more.
"I'll see?"
Bumblebee gave an affirmative beep, tuning up the radio to some soothing music, hoping Raf might go to sleep again. I want to surprise Raf…
Raf sighed, and turned to gaze outside 'Bee's window, watching as the salt flats of Utah flashed past. The salt flats, normally dry and cracked white was instead coated with a layer of water, which reflected the mountains in the distant edge of the salt flats onto the water.
A vent of relief escaped from Bee when he felt Raf fall asleep again as Bee took a southward turn onto I-15 purposefully. Bumblebee drove along I-15 for three hours, stopping at his destination with a happy vent.
Bumblebee gave a soft beep to Raf, who woke up slowly, with an exaggerated yawn. Bumblebee beeped at Raf again, informing him to get out. Raf did as Bee asked, though he did so with some hesitation, keeping his gaze locked firmly onto Bumblebee's alt mode.
Bee nudged his partner ever so gently to turn around and, with quiet reluctance, the little human turned and gasped. The ground before him was soft and white, the trees coated with the soft down of snow.
Raf's eyes widened in amazement, awe taking hold of his body. "Snow," the small human whispered, stepping towards a small patch of snow closest to where he and Bumblebee were situated. Raf bent down, reaching his hand out nervously and stroked the snow. Raf leapt backwards, shaking his hand worriedly, a soft film of white snow falling from his hand.
"It's so cold! And soft! Wow…" Raf trailed off, then turned to Bumblebee with a joyful expression on his face. "Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You're the best Bee!" Raf exclaimed, rushing up and hugging Bee's hood spontaneously.
Bumblebee beeped softly, elation coursing through his chassis as his partner continued to cling to Bee, a trace of tears falling from his eyes.
.:You're welcome, Raf:.
knowing how much Bee likes Raf, and how much Raf wants to see snow, this happened. *shrugs* these two aren't my favorites but they are pretty adorable.
