"Waaaatchet!" Bumblebee's buzzes echoed downd the hall.
"Argh you got to be freaking kiding me..." Ratchet sighed shaking his helm as he tried to work with chemicals.
"Watchet!" Bumblebee chirped bouncing up and down behind the medic.
Ratchet gave a low growl ang ignored the attention hungry sparkling.
"Watchet watchet watchet watchet" Bumblebee continued to jump up and down.
"...For primus sake what do you want from me!" Ratchet turned and snapped at the sparkling calling his name.
"I'm bored watchet can we do something?" Bumblebee clicked as he climbed up the stairs.
"... here look paint" Ratchet gave Bumblebee some paint and a large peice of paper.
"There..." Ratchet sighed going back to his work.
That didn't last long as he lost concentrationg when he heard the sparklin giggle.
"Bumblebee what are you doing!" Ratchet looked at the sparkling covering himself in paint and rolling on the paper.
"Painting watchet" Bumblebee chirped rolling on the paper.
"Ok come here, bath time!" Ratchet grabbed the sparkling by his wings and walked off placing Bumblebee in a small container and quickly filling it with warm cleaning fluid.
"You still haven't out grown this container" Ratchet chuckled as Bumblebee attempted to jump out.
"What you mean!" Bumblebee gave a growling beep.
"Nothing you're just still so tiny" Ratchet placed Bumblebee back in the middle of the container.
"No I not!" Bumblebee chirped angrily.
"Ok you grew an inch" Ratchet continued to laugh as he held the sparkling in place.
"Grew more that!" Bumblebee continued to squirm.
"When you pass the hight of me than you can say that" Ratchet teased taking the sparkling out of the bath.
"Watchet!" Bumblebee giggled as he was dried off with a warm towel.
"What?" Ratchet chuckled as he continued to dry off the sparkling with a warm towel.
"Dat ticklez!" Bumblebee chirped taking the towel from the medic.
"Does it" Ratchet cooed placing Bumblebee back on the platform next to the new medical bay and threw the towel on him.
"Where'd you go?" Ratchet playfully asked staring at the moving towel.
"I right here watchet!" Bumblebee giggled pushing the towel off of himself.
"Ooooh there you are!" Ratchet poked Bumblebee and walked to his tools.
Bumblebee continued to giggle as he crawled over to the railing dangling his little feet over the edge.
"What you doin?" Bumblebee buzzed resting his helm on the railing and swining his legs.
"Doing a little maitnance with... I'm cleaning my tools" Ratchet explained in terms Bumblebee could understand.
"Watchet?" Bumblebee calmly clicked.
"Yes sparkling?" Ratchet said wiping off a tool.
"Do me have daddy n mommy?" Bumblebee clicked to the medic.
"Um... Bumblebee..."
"We're back" Bulkhead said entering the room with Arcee and Optimus.
"Yay!" Bumblebee tumbled down the stairs quickly picked himself up and hugged each bots foot.
"Hello little one Optimus smiled as Bumblebee hugged his foot.
"Up?" Bumblebee reached up to the prime.
"Up we go" Optimus cooed as he placed the tiny bot in his arms.
"What's this on your wing?" Optimus asked wiping off a smudge of paint onto his servo.
"Oh paint I gave Bumblebee some paint then a bath I guess I didn't get everything he squirmed around a lot" Ratchet explained to Optimus.
"Yes I understand" Optimus chuckled making goofy faces at Bumblebee.
"Opt you silly!" Bumblebee chirped hugging the primes face.
"No you are" Optimus playfully argued.
"No you opt!" Bumblebee clicked and twittered.
"Ok you win this time" Optimus cooed patting Bumblebee's helm.
"Opt can we go outside?" Bumblebee clicked.
"I don't see why not, sure just stay close to me ok?" Optimus okayed it.
"Don't forget to call if you need a bridge remeber I've got it working.
"Ok Ratchet" Optimus nodded walking out the base.
In the canyon.
"Did you get the cons Opt?" Bumblebee clicked looking up to the prime as he toddled beside the towering down the canyon.
"Well some of them we stopped them from mining energon" Optimus told the sparkling.
"I bet you busted the bad bots reawel good!" Bumblebee chirped excitedly while punching the air.
"Mmm I suppose" Optimus shrugged.
"Me no know why bad bots bothder, no one beat Opty pwime!" Bumblebee chirped spining around and falling on his butt.
"Now Bumblebee... lets not get carried away.." Optimus cooed pushing the tiny bot back up to his feet.
"But youw swongest bot evwer!" Bumblebee beeped and shot his arms up.
"Bumblebee no I'm not Optimus chuckled giving Bumblebee a small boot foward.
"Yeah!" Bumblebee argued toddling forward.
"If you think so little one" Optimus chuckled walking beside the tiny sparkling.
"Me no think me know!" Bumblebee continued to excitedly beep and buzz.
"Sure little one" Optimus sighed rolling his optics and smiling knowing that he meant the universe to the tiny sparkling beside him.
"So you have fun with Ratchet today?" Optimus looked down to his foot where Bumblebee slowly toddled.
"Yeah Watchet's fun" Bumblebee chirped while yawning.
"Bath wasnt fun doe" Bumblebee gave another big yawn.
"I'm sure Ratchet thought the same" Optimus chuckled.
Bumblebee slowly trudged behind the prime and eventually stopped.
"Sparkling you ok?" Optimus asked kneeling down in front of the tired sparkling.
"Up?" Bumblebee tiredly reached up looking at the prime with droopy optics.
"Aw you're sleepy" Optimus cooed hefting Bumblebee to his shoulder.
"Uhuh..." Bumblebee whired quietly as he snuggled his frame to Optimus's shoulder.
"Hey Ratchet you think you could lock onto my location and send. bridge" Optimus asked over the COM.
"is everything ok?" Arcee asked walking up to the leader.
"Oh yes, Bumblebee's ready for a nap that's all" Optimus smiled.
"At six?, Wheeljack and I were punching each other out at that age" Bulkhead said watching the youngling shift in the primes arms.
Ratchet turned to Bulkhead and gave him a deadly glare.
"I know I know he's under developed, I forgot geez..." Bulkhead coward from the glare he got.
"Here let me remind you!" Arcee growled and smacked Bulkhead.
"Ow!"
"Inside your head must be an awfully lonely place" Arcee shook her helm.
"Ha ha..." Bulkhead rubbed his helm.
"So how was the walk Optimus?" Arcee asked.
"It was great, Bumblebee's quite the little character" Optimus chuckled as Bumblebee squeaked as he rested his helm on the primes shoulder.
"Yeah what he do?" Bulkhead smiled.
"Oh he was jumping around, punching the air and chattering like crazy" Optimus demonstrated what the tiny sparkling did.
Bumblebee gave small whimper and looked at the prime with sleepy optics.
"Oops sorry Bee I didn't mean to wake you" Optimus massaged the sparklings helm lulling Bee into recharge.
"That's adorable what were you talking ablut that got him so excited?" Arcee chuckled.
"Bee was just explaining what he thinks of me" Optimus shrugged.
"And what would that be?" Ratchet asked.
"He thinks I'm some ultra bot that can't be beaten" Optimus sighed.
"Aw that's sweet you are everything to that little sparkling" Arcee smiled at Optimus.
"Yeah...but I'm not invincible" Optimus told the femme.
"Optimus you don't have to be" Arcee told the leader.
"You're right" Optimus nodded walking into his room.
Two hours later
"Ow what the!" Ratchet growled as he got hit in head with a ball and turned to see Arcee and Bumblebee standing in the middle of the room.
"He did it!"
"she did!"
Bumblebee and Arcee pointed to each other.
"He's bearly an inch of the ground he can't throw that high" Ratchet hissed.
"He's got super powers" Arcee said wiggling her fingers.
"Really that's your best excuse" Ratchet raised an optic ridge.
"He survived for four years with out food and medical treatment he must have some sort of powers" Arcee gave a please don't kill me smile.
"...TAKE IT OUTSIDE!"
"Ok ok!" Arcee quickly grabbed Bee that was picking up the ball, and ran outside.
"Oof whoa what's the hurry?" Optimus asked after Arcee ran into him.
"Ratchet's in a really good mood today" Arcee rolled her optics.
"So either the apocalypse is happening or you're being sarcastic" Optimus raised an optic ridge.
"I'm being sarcastic" Arcee chuckled as Bumblebee droped the ball and whimpered and reached for it.
"I figured... so where are you to off to?" Optimus asked as Arcee placed Bumblebee down and watched him chase the ball.
"Oh I figured I'd take Bumblebee outside to play and away from Ratchet and his temper" Arcee put her hands on her hips and Watched Bumblebee roll over the ball.
"It's a beautifu day do you mind if I join you" Optimus asked as he watched Bumblebee tackle the ball making him roll over onto his stomach.
"Not at all come on Bee" Arcee called as they headed to the canyon.
"Ah!" Bumblebee squeaked as he followed the ball over the edge of the canyon.
"Whoa little one we are heading down there no need to jump down" Optimus quickly grabbed Bumblebee before he fell down into the canyon.
"But ball went down" Bumblebee beeped looking up at Optimus.
"Bee we will get your ball don't worry the ball is fine it's you that would be in peices if you jumped down there" Arcee cooed bwalking to the enterance of the canyon.
"Ok" Bumblebee squeaked toddling behind the femme.
Optimus smiled shaking his helm giving a happy sigh as he followed the two into the canyon.
"Be careful little one you don't know what that creature can do" Optimus called to Bee as Bumblebee chased a jackrabbit.
"Ah!" Bumblebee fell onto his butt as he poked the rabbit that took a big hop after he poked it.
"Bumblebee what are you doing you silly sparkling?" Arcee giggled as Bumblebee mimicked the rabbits moves.
Optimus couldn't contain his laughter as Bumblebee hopped like the rabbit and continuesly fell and picked himself back up trying to keep up with the hopping creature.
"Ball!" Bumblebee chirped and headbutted the ball making it roll into a bolder.
"Looks like he found it" Optimus laughed.
"Yep he did" Arcee also chuckled as Bumblebee pounced into the bolder.
"Ouch!" Bumblebee rubbed his helm after he hit his helm into the bolder.
"Yeah well you took a flying leap at it what did you expect" Arcee giggled at the sparkling.
"Wock is meanie!" Bumblebee folder his arms and pouted.
"Is that so?" Optimus cooed walking up to the pouty sparkling.
"Uhuh" Bumblebee whired nodding his helm.
"Come on go get your ball it's getting away" Optimus cooed rolling the ball past Arcee.
"No go ball!" Bumblebee chirped and chased after the ball.
"There's been quite a bit of energon minning from the cons" Arcee said to Optimus as they continued their way down the canyon.
"Yes they seem to be finding the most hotspots" Optimus said to Arcee.
"Yeah what's Megatron mining all this energon for?" Arcee thought out loud.
"I don't know Arcee but what ever it is we have to stop it" Optimus told the femme.
"Yes no questions asked on that one" Arcee nodded.
"It's getting quite dark out huh?" Optimus said looking up into the night time sky.
"Yeah it is" Arcee agreed noticing Bumblebee tiredly flopping himself onto his ball.
"Probably best if we get little Bumblebee home he looks about ready for recharge" Optimus said walking to the droopy sparkling.
"Come here you" Optimus cooed picking up the tiny yellow sparkling.
Bumblebee made no fuss and quickly snuggled in the primes strong arms purring as he fell into a light recharge.
"He certainly wasted no time" Arcee chuckled as she witnessed the tiny sparkling quickly get comfy by the primes spark and fall into recharge.
"He must be very tired" Optimus said looking at the slumbering yellow sparkling in his arms.
"He must have, anyway I'll call for a bridge.
"Thank you" Optimus said as he looked at the glowing yellow sparkling as light from the moon shone on the sparkling.
"We all need some rest" Ratchet said shutting down the med bay.
"Yeah I'm ready for recharge" Bulkhead wasted no time heading to his room.
"Night" Arcee said following the medic and prime down the hall.
"Goodnight and no more balls getting thrown at my head!" Ratchet snapped as he stood in his doorway.
Arcee laughed at the words that came from the medic as she wallked to her room.
"Grow up!" Ratchet growled walking into his room.
"Ok Ratchet no more balls for you" Arcee roared with laughter as she went into her own room.
Optimus rolled his optics as he entered his own room.
"What so funny Opt?" Bumblebee buzzed tiredly as Optimus layed down on his berth.
"Never mind sparkling, just recharge" Optimus told the tired sparkling.
"Ok..." Bumblebee yawned closing his optics.
"Night opt..." Bumblebee squeked to Optimus falling into recharge.
"Night little one" Optimus spoke softly as he fell into his own recharge.
