"It's been three and a half months and your telling me laserbeak can't even get in the Autobot base!" Megatron screamed at his Decepticons.
"Lord Megatron the Autobots have very heavy security and is…" Starscream explained.
"I don't care about your excuses TRY HARDER!" Megatron ordered.
"Yes lord Megatron" Starscream answered as he and Soundwave fled.
"Click twitter click click"
"Is that so" Optimus chuckled at his chatty sparkling that he sat beside on the floor, Optimus had no hope of understanding what the sparkling was clicking about but tried to understand anyhow.
"Click click chirp click" Bumblebee continued as he clapped his little servos.
"Can you say da?" Optimus cooed as Bumblebee reached for a block.
"Bumblebee say da"
"Come on Bee say da"
"Oh Optimus give it time he'll say it" Ratchet told his leader.
"Ratchet he hasn't said anything or tried to crawl yet he should have done that a month ago" Optimus sighed as he got off the floor.
"Why is it always he should have this, and he should have that, Optimus I told you it will take him a little longer to do all that" Ratchet explained.
"I'm just worried that's all he's not a mute right?" Optimus asked Ratchet.
"Optimus Bumblebee's going to speak soon and before you know it he'll be crawling around your feet" Ratchet gave Optimus a quick pat on the back and headed out the door.
"Ok come on Bumblebee try to crawl" Optimus said putting the tiny sparkling on his hands and knees.
Bumblebee clicked and sputtered as Optimus let go of him letting him fall onto his stomach.
"Come on little one just try it" Optimus encouraged the tiny frustrated sparkling that rolled on the ground.
"Hey Optimus how's little Bee?" the twins came running in the rec room.
"Fine just fine thank you…" Optimus quickly picked up his sparkling off the ground and away from the crazy twins.
"That's great, lil guy say anything yet?" Jazz asked walking in with Mirage.
"No…. not yet…" Optimus sighed.
"Hmm I wonder if he's sick?" Sunstreaker thought out loud.
"He shoulda been talking a while ago" Sideswipe added.
"He's not sick he's just a little different" Optimus explained as he placed the squirmy sparkling back on the ground.
"That's ok it jus takes time" Mirage said.
"Optimus can you just quickly fill out this report?" Prowl asked walking in.
"Sure" Optimus walked to the door were the black and white mech stood.
"Agh I hate reports" Sideswipe complained.
"Yeah there so boring" Mirage complained as well.
"They take to long" Sunstreaker added.
"Tell me bout it" Jazz sighed.
"They are quick if you just do them" Prowl told the four.
"Yeah whatever" the twins ignored Prowls comment.
"All right thank you Optimus"
"Hey where's Bee?" Prowl asked noticing the sparkling wasn't in the spot he was playing on the floor.
"Twins pick him up?" Optimus asked.
"Nope" Sunstreaker and Sideswipe answered.
"I don't have him either" Mirage told the bots.
"Don look at me" Jazz waved his servos at the group.
"Well someone moved him!" Optimus snapped.
"What the!…"Optimus jumped as something touched crawled over his foot.
"Bumblebee?" Optimus said as the tiny sparkling continued to crawl towards the door.
"Where do think your going little one?" Optimus playfully asked putting on a giant smile as he plucked the tiny fleeing sparkling up of the ground and away from the door.
"Way to go lil Bee ya did it you crawled!" Jazz excitedly congratulated Bumblebee.
"Yes you did" Optimus cooed as he rubbed his head with Bumblebee's tiny head.
"Click click chirp!" Bumblebee happily chirped and patted Optimus's face.
"WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY!" Ironhide shouted bursting through the door.
"Oh crap!" Mirage, Jazz, and the twins quickly hid behind the couch.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU FOUR!" Ironhide roared walking towards the couch.
"Ironhide Ironhide Bumblebee crawled!" Optimus overjoyed told the angry old mech.
"Oh that's wonderful Optimus great job runt" Ironhide nicely congratulated than turned back to see the four mechs running out the door.
"GET BACK HERE TOUCH MY CANNONS!" Ironhide screamed giving chase.
"Crazy old mech… come on Bumblebee lets go tell Ratchet what you did" Optimus smiled and hefted Bumblebee into his arm.
"Hey Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet Ratchet!" Optimus jumped into the med bay and hopped up and down in one spot.
"What what is it?" Ratchet asked watching the prime bounce up and making Bumblebee giggle with joy.
"Bumblebee crawled watch!" Optimus excitedly said putting Bumblebee on the ground.
Bumblebee sat for a moment and looked up at Optimus falling onto his back as tried to look at the towering mech.
"Oops just hang on a sec…" Optimus gave Ratchet a quick smile and put Bumblebee back in the sitting position.
"Ok go ahead crawl to uncle Ratchet" Optimus said giving Bumblebee a gentle nudge with his massive servo.
Bumblebee gave a quick squeak and slowly started to crawl over towards the impatient medic that looked surprised when he started to crawl, Bumblebee gurgled and twittered as he made his way over to a pile of tools Ratchet.
"Hey come here" Ratchet tried to distract and call Bumblebee over to him and away from his tools.
"Bumblebee no…" Optimus told Bumblebee and picked up Bumblebee by his doorwings.
"You don't listen very well do you?" Optimus asked holding the sparkling in front of his face.
"Click click click!" Bumblebee frantically clicked and squirmed trying to tell the prime he wanted down.
"Bumblebee stop that!" Optimus scolded the flailing sparkling slipping out of his servo.
"Well that's great that he can crawl now go take him and see if will talk" Ratchet said trying to shoe the prime and sparkling away.
"Fine fine I can take a hint" Optimus smirked walking out of the room with the fussy Bumblebee.
Bumblebee gave up on squirming and started to cry.
"Don't cry lets go get some energon" Optimus quickly answered to Bumblebee's cries.
"Geez we hear it all night and all day we can't escape it" Bluestreak complained to Smokescreen.
"I know!" Smokescreen answered and turned his attention to the crying sparkling being held by the prime.
"Sorry you two I'm just getting something for him to eat than I'll be out" Optimus apologized to the two for interrupting their video.
"Nah it's ok this show is boring anyway" Bluestreak said tossing the remote beside him.
"Oh ok…" Optimus said as he got Bumblebee's bottle.
"How's it out in the field?" Optimus asked sitting beside the two.
"Good quiet actually" Smokescreen told Optimus.
"Hmm that means they're up to something" Optimus growled as Bumblebee grabbed hold of the bottle.
"Yeah I'm sure we will find out soon enough" Bluestreak sighed.
Optimus took the bottle away from the warm yellow sparkling and placed the tiny bundle of wires in his playpen filled with toys.
"Yeah in someway I hope I'm wrong that the Decepticons aren't up to anything" Optimus continued the conversation.
"There most likely will be something happening Optimus you know the cons" Bluestreak said.
"I know Megatron well enough to know that he's planning something horrible" Optimus told Bluestreak.
"Yeah I don't know anyone else that's that evil" Smokescreen shivered as he flipped through the channels on the monitor.
"yeah…" Optimus sighed as the room went silent.
"Ga!" a squeaky voice came from the playpen next to the couch.
"Huh?" Optimus curiously peeked over Smokescreen to look into the playpen.
"Ga ga ga ga!" Bumblebee's tiny squeaky voice continued as he hit to blocks together.
"Sounds like your sparklings ready to start saying some words" Smokescreen laughed as Bumblebee continued.
"Yeah sounds like it!" Optimus cheerfully said and made his way over to Bumblebee.
"Come here chatter box" Optimus cooed taking the little sparkling out of the playpen.
"Ga!" Bumblebee squeaked as Optimus held him in his arm.
"No da" Optimus tried to correct.
"Ga!" Bumblebee twittered.
"Da…" Optimus continued.
"Ga ga ga ga!" Bumblebee giggled.
"Ok maybe later…" Optimus sighed.
"You need to be changed Optimus said to Bumblebee as he unlatched his little bottom slightly to check.
"Move!" Smokescreen said shoving Bluestreak into the couch arm.
"Ouch what the hell was that for!" Bluestreak snarled.
"Optimus is changing the sparkling he needs room" Smokescreen hissed.
"I'm changing him on the floor" Optimus chuckled as he lay a changing blanket on the ground and placed Bumblebee gently on it.
"Oh…." Smokescreen smiled at Bluestreak.
"Ouch! I guess I deserved that" Smokescreen rubbed his helm after Bluestreak gave him a good whack.
Bumblebee whimpered uncomfortably as Optimus unlatched his bottom panel.
"Shh it'll only be a second…" Optimus tried to sooth Bumblebee.
"AAAH!" Bumblebee started wail as Optimus tried to change the squirming yellow frame.
"Bumblebee!" Optimus scolded as a bit of wastage fluid escaped.
"Stop squirming around and this will be quicker if you stopped" Optimus continued.
Bumblebee ignored the primes comments and continued to cry loudly.
"Shhh…." Optimus lulled and rubbed the sparkling helm soothing Bumblebee.
"That's better" Optimus sighed Bumblebee gave a small yawn as Optimus finished up Cradled the recharging Sparkling in his arms.
"What the hell are you guys still doing up it's time for recharge go move!" Prowl and Ratchet came in the rec room and ordered everyone.
"Ok ok geez…" Smokescreen complained.
Optimus was in a deep enough recharge when he heard a noise, Optimus lifted his helm and looked around he didn't see anything he figured it was probably Bumblebee moving around in his crib, he lay back down and closed his optics.
"Da!" Bumblebee squeaked as he sat up in his crib his icy blue optics glowing brightly in the dark.
Optimus slowly sat up in his berth and rubbed his tired optics, and stared back at the crib in a daze.
"Da da da da!" Bumblebee continued to squeak at the sleepy prime.
"Aaaaw Bumblebee" Optimus cooed and walked calmly over to the crib.
"Come here" Optimus continued to coo and took the sparkling from the crib.
"I'm very proud of you, you accomplished a lot today now it's time for recharge" Optimus proudly spoke to his sparkling.
"Da!" Bumblebee squeaked loudly.
"Shh little one rest…" Optimus rocked Bumblebee in his arms soothing the sparkling into recharge.
"Da da da!" Bumblebee squeaked to the femme's that sat beside him on the floor rolling blocks in front of the curious sparkling.
"He's out in the field and won't be back tell tomorrow sweetie" Elita cooed.
"I don't think he understands you Elita" Arcee smirked.
"that's ok when your that cute you don't have to understand" Elita giggled to Arcee.
"True enough" Arcee chuckled as Bumblebee started crawling on Elita.
"Hello there little cutie" Elite laughed as Bumblebee planted himself on her lap.
"Da?" Bumblebee cooed.
"No Elita" Elita told Bumblebee.
"l…l..lita?" Bumblebee slowly squeaked.
"That's right and this is my sister Arcee" Elita continued.
"I already know she's your sister" Bulkhead walked up to the two.
"Not you Bumblebee!" Arcee snapped at the giant green mech.
"Cee!" Bumblebee happily squeaked.
"Yeah!" Arcee said happily.
"Your nice to him" Bulkhead scoffed.
"No I'm only mean to idiots" Arcee smirked.
"agh… so how's squeaky starting to just starting to talk huh" Bulkhead rubbed Bumblebee's helm with a massive finger receiving small purrs.
"And crawling to" Elita mentioned.
"Hmm I wonder if he's going to illiterate and not mobile when he's older" Bulkhead thought out loud.
"Bulkhead why would you say that!" both femmes freaked out on him.
"It's just a thought I mean he's ten times smaller than a normal sparkling and didn't start speaking and crawling tell now he's just a little…"
"Stop talking before I force you to stop talking!" Arcee growled.
"Ok ok sorry…" Bulkhead backed away.
"You shouldn't be sorry to us you should be sorry to Bumblebee!" Elita snapped.
"Sorry squeaky I didn't mean it" Bulkhead apologized.
"Ga!" Bumblebee chirped and crawled off Elita and grabbed a block and started chewing it.
"Hey get that out of your mouth!" Arcee snapped pulling the block out of Bumblebee's mouth.
"Ew…" Arcee wiped the drool off of her servo and the block and gave Bumblebee a small tickle.
"Aaah!" Bumblebee shrieked and giggled.
"Arcee he's probably hungry you keep him busy while I get him a bottle" Elita told her sister.
"Sure thing I'm going to get you!" Arcee playfully threatened and scooped Bumblebee up and placed him on her stomach as she lay on the ground.
"Aaaah" Bumblebee let out another shriek of joy as Arcee blew on his stomach.
Arcee giggled as Bumblebee squeaked and giggled as she continued to blow on his stomach.
"Isn't that an attractive site Arcee rollin around on the ground with a sparkling" Sideswipe smiled as he rolled in with his twin Mirage and Jazz.
"Your absolutely right Sideswipe she is" Sunstreaker agreed with his brother.
"You boys need something….thank you…?" Arcee asked as Mirage helped her up.
"No problem… come on guys we all know she's the pretties femme" Mirage said as he turned to the guys, Arcee smiled at Mirage's comment as she held the cooing Bumblebee.
"Aw Mirage your so sweet" Arcee told the spy and gave him a pat on the back as she walked past to the kitchen area.
"Nice…" Sideswipe teased Mirage.
"Yeah nice move Mirage" Sunstreaker teased with his twin.
"Someday I can see you winning her spark" Jazz told Mirage.
"Ok the bottles all ready" Elita said as Arcee approached her.
"Great you wanna feed him?" Arcee asked her sister.
"No I already have how bout you" Elita smiled and gave the bottle to the navy blue femme.
"Ok… here you go little Bee" Arcee spoke softly cradling Bumblebee and feeding him the bottle.
"Vey good you got it" Elita smiled at her younger sister.
"Thanks" Arcee smiled back glancing over to the boys wrestling on the floor by the couch.
"I think Mirage is really into you" Elita said to her sister that perked up hearing the mechs name.
"I know…" Arcee smiled bashfully.
"He seems nice don't know to much about him but he's sweet" Arcee continued.
"Yeah but look at who he hangs with he's usually the master at helping come up with pranks" Elita told Arcee.
"Yeah I'm not going to judge him for what he does he's just crying for attention like all immature mechs do I'll give him some time to settle down he seems like the quiet type" Arcee told Elita.
"That's good" Elita put a servo on her sisteres shoulder.
"Get away from me you idiots!" Choromia snapped at the wrestling mechs.
"Well choromia seems to be in her usual good mood" Arcee rolled her optics as Bumblebee watched the angry femme with wide optics.
"Lita!" Bumblebee cried and reached for the femme.
"Oh it's ok little one she's just a little moody" Elita cooed and took the sparkling that was handed to her.
"Whoa why so bitchy we were here first!" Sunstreaker snapped at choromia.
"Yeah!" Sideswipe added.
"I don't care you shouldn't be wrestling here anyway you've been told not to many times!" Choromia snapped back.
"Hey Choromia calm your little grouchy ass down" Arcee shouted from across the room.
"Screw you Arcee I don't have to listen to you I'm older!" Choromia stuck her nose in the air.
"Oh I'll set her straight!" Arcee growled forming a fist and walking towards her snobby sister only to be pulled back by her oldest sister.
"Don't Bumblebee is scared enough no need to frighten him more" Elita spoke wisely to Arcee.
"Ok fine later than" Arcee sighed.
"Da Da Da!" Bumblebee called out and squirmed in Elita's arms.
"Tomorrow sweetie" Elita cooed rubbing the tiny helm.
Bumblebee purred as his helm was massaged slowly lulling him into recharge.
"Good he needs the rest" Eilta said handing the tiny sparkling to Arcee.
"What am I supposed to do with him?" Arcee asked.
"Just keep him cradled in your arms or put him in the playpen" Elita told Arcee as she headed to the door.
"Where are you going?" Arcee asked watching her sister head for the door.
"Out in the field with Optimus" Elita informed Arcee.
"No wait don't Bumblebee likes you better don't leave me alone with him" Arcee whined.
"Oh that's not true you'll be fine" Elita rolled her optics.
"No your like a female Optimus to him please stay!" Arcee panicked.
"You'll be fine" Elita told Arcee and left.
"Well I guess it's you and me" Arcee said looking down at the slumbering sparkling.
"Well we can help to we've all watched hi together" Mirage and Jazz added.
"Yeah and that ended in a fight" Arcee raised an optic ridge.
"Ya but ol Ironhide is out in the field so it's better" Sideswipe told her.
"Yeah but Prowl is still here" Sunstreaker sighed.
"True but whatever" Mirage smiled and turned his happy gaze to the recharging sparkling.
