"Opt look flashy beepy!" Bumblebee chirped at the prime as he tryed to climb back on the berth.

"Wha..." Optimus yawned pushing the sparkling up on the berth.

"Opt flashy beepy" Bumblebee beeped climbing on the primes chest.

"Flasy beepy!" Bumblebee buzzed and pointed to the doorway.

"Flashy...beepy?... you weren't playing with Ratchet's blowtorch again were you!" Optimus sat up making Bumblebee slide down.

"Ratchet what's going on?" Optimus asked walking in the main room with Bumblebee trotting closley behind.

"There's a ship that crash landed in the nearby desert" Ratchet told the prime.

"Hmm I'll take Bulkhead and investigate" optimus said as Bulkhead walked in.

"No Opt" Bumblebee whined staring up at the prime.

"What is it sparkling?" Optimus looked down at the yellow sparkling.

"No go opt" Bumblebee clung onto the primes leg.

"I'm only going for a little while you stay with Arcee and Ratchet" Optimus picked Bumblebee up and handed him to Arcee as she stretched her tired limbs.

"This your way of saying good morning?" Arcee hefted the sparkling to her shoulder.

"Me and Bulkhead are investigating a crash site I need to watch Bee just for a little bit" told Arcee as he walked to the bridge.

"Thanks for the heads up on that" Arcee sighed as Bumblebee played with her helm.

"Cee cee!, what a crash hight?" Bumblebee buzzed.

"You mean a crash site, it's a place where a ship crashed" Arcee chuckled pulling her helm away from tiny curious fingers.

"What are you doing?" Ratchet turned to the femme walking in the medbay.

"I'm getting some energon for me n Bee geez calm down guard dog..." Arcee rolled her optics getting the energon.

"Oh Bee!" Arcee sighed as Bumblebee drank his energon managing to spill it all over himself.

"You always make such a mess" Arcee chuckled wiping the energon off the sparkling.

"Up?" Bumblebee chirped reached up to the femme.

"Alright come here little guy" Arcee cooed pivking up the adorable sparkling.

"Ratchet open the bridge It's Cliffjumper" Optimus said over the calm.

"Shut up no way Cliffs here!" Arcee got overjoyed.

"Who Cwiff?" Bumblebee chirped looking at Arcee.

"A really great friend Bee, you never got to meet him... I forgot... well you'll love him" Arcee cooed to Bumblebee.

"Plus we could use the fire power" Ratchet said as he fired up the bridge.

"Down Cee" Bumblebee clicked.

"Ok geez make up your mind" Arcee rolled her optics putting Bee down.

"Hi Cwiff!" Bumblebee chirped hugging the red mechs leg.

"Oh hi, geez who's this?" Cliffjumper looked down to the tiny ot hugging his leg.

"That's Bumlebee the sparkling you never got to meet" Arcee said walking up to Cliff.

"I thought he was offlined?" cliff said picking up the yellow sparkling.

"No he survived for four years and we brought him here" Arcee said giving Cliffjumper a hug.

"Cwiff wanna play?" Bumblebee clicked hugging the red mechs helm.

"Bumblebee he's probably really tired" Optimus said.

"No no I always got time to play" Cliff chuckled as Bumblebee pulled on one of his horns.

"Whoa easy there little fella those are attached to my helm" Cliffjumper chuckled prying the tiny finger off his horn.

"How old is this little guy two?" Cliff asked holding the bubbly sparkling out.

"Me sis!" Bumblebee buzzed as put his little servos on his hips.

"He's six but giving the truth on the rate he matures at yes technically you're right the years that pass may say he's that age but his body and mind say four years behind his actual age, and he has always been and always will be that way" Ratchet said to the team.

"Oh Cliff it's great you came, we really need the help, with Bumblebee being so little we couldn't possibly start throwing him into battle he'd get squished" Arcee told Cliffjumper.

"Geez if you guys are that much in need of help that you're trying to throw a sparkling in the field you really do need help" Cliff said surprised.

"Play play play play" Bumblebee squeaked smacking the red mechs chest.

"Ok ok ok ok" Cliffjumper mocked Bumblebee bouncing him up and down.

Bumblebee whimpered and growled squirming in the red mechs arms.

"Whoa why all of a sudden so grumpy you are a sparkling arent you, either that or you've been hanging with Arcee to much" Cliffjumper chuckled.

"Hey!" Arcee growled.

"Here he just quickly needs to be changed" Optimus said taking the upset sparkling from Cliffjumper.

"Really!, right... four years back" Cliffjumper reminded himself.

"Holy crap someone I don't have to constantly remind them about Bumblebee's growth thank primus!" Ratchet randomly outburst.

"Doc is a little loopy eh?" Cliff leaned over to Arcee.

"You could say that..." Arcee laughed.

"Alright there" Optimus cooed letting the sparkling run off.

Bumblebee ran straight past Cliff and Arcee and went straight into Optimus's room and came out with his favourite bright coloured ball.

"You take that outside!" Ratchet snapped jumping back.

"Geez it's just a ball..." Arcee rolled her optics picking Bumblebee up and walking outside.

"Bumblebee stay close don't go up ahead remember" Arcee said to the sparkling tumbling over his ball infront of her and Cliff.

"This is a nice place, it's nice to escape Cybertron it's just depressing" Cliffjumper said to Arcee.

"Yeah that's a keypoint to why I came here that and I just couldn't leave the bundle of joy over there for another many years" Arcee said pointing to Bumblebee toddling after the rolling ball.

"Yeah what happened to him anyway?" Cliff asked smiling at the sparkling diving at the ball.

"He was dropped by laserbeak in an energon pipe line and lost for four years with out food and care, then randomly pops up and saves Cybertron from mass chaos, but losses his voice in the process, than we loose him for a couple more months than find him and take here where we are still trying to rais him" Arcee said.

"Wow!, kid has got quite a story to tell" Cliff shook his helm in amazement.

"He really does" Arcee agreed as Bumblebee did a faceplant as he rolled over his ball.

"Oof!, owie" Bumblebee whimpered siting up infront of his ball.

"Humph!" Bumblebee growled and did a belly flop as he bounced off the ball.

Bumblebee took a flying leap at the ball and clung to the ball, and it quickly rolled with him on it straight into a bolder slamming his tiny frame against the bolder and ending in a faceplant on the ground.

Bumblebee wasted no time and sat up and cried in pain as his ball rolled away.

"Ball one, Little sparkling zero" Cliffjumper said as he watched the scene with Arcee.

"Go get the ball I got Bee" Arcee told Cliff as she picked up the whailing sparkling.

"What happened?" Ratchet turned to see Arcee and Cliffjumper walking in the base crying sparkling.

"The ball beat the scr..."

"Please we don't use that language around the sparkling" Optimus told Cliffjumper as he walked up to them.

"Ratchet does" Arcee ponted out.

"We try not to" Optimus gave a disapproving glare to Ratchet.

"Well the ball threw him around instead of the other way around" Cliff explained.

"Well here I'll take him, Arcee help Cliffjumper get a vehicle form" Optimus told the femme taking the crying sparkling from her.

"Alright come on cliff!" Arcee said running out the door with the red mech.

"Shh it's ok little one" Optimus tried to sooth Bumblebee by rubbing his back.

"Owie!" Bumblebee cried and swatted the primes servo.

"Did I hurt you little one?" Optimus cooed quickly removing his hand.

"mmhmm" Bumblebee whimpered through sobs.

"Let me see" Optimus gently grabbed Bumblebee's sore twitching doorwing.

"Ow no!" Bumblebee cried harder twisting his frame shielding his wing away from the servo.

"Bumblebee I just need to see it" Optimus told the fussy sparkling.

"No it hurt!" Bumblebee whailed.

"Ok I an't get any work done what's going on?" Ratchet put his tools down and walked over to the struggling prime.

"Something to do with Bumblebee's wing is hurting him and he wont let me see it" Optimus said trying to see the wing.

"Well me being an expert, well actually I really don't need to be an expert but judging by the fact hat there's a little energo leaking from his back explains he probably has a tear on his wing, so if you would please place him on the medical berth and dangle this infront of him, I can patch it up" Ratchet explained handing Optimus Bumblebee's favourite blanket.

"Ok..." Optimus said feeling like an idiot he placed the crying sparkling on the medical berth, and showed Bee the blanket.

"Chirp click click" Bumblebee clicked and chirped reaching for the blanket.

"Owie!" Bumblebee cried as Ratchet quickly welded and cealed the cut.

"There done you can go back to coddling him" Ratchet rolled his optics.

"Thanks Ratchet" Optimus thanked the medic and walked off with whimpering sparkling.

Bumblebee rested his helm on the primes shoulder letting out soft watery hiccups as he started to drift into a light recharge.

Optimus gave a small sigh of relief as Bumblebee started to purr having a peacful recharge on the primes shoulder.

5 seconds later

Optimus jumped as Bumblebee bursted into tears being disrupted from recharge from hearing the roar of a muscle car and motorcycle echo down the entrance tunnel.

"Hey check out my new wheels" Cliff power slided With Arcee into the base.

"Sweet!" Bulkhead said to Cliff as he transformed.

"Than...ks... what did I do something wrong?" Cliff asked looking at the angry prime with a crying sparkling.

"Wow he's still crying?" Cliffjumper chuckled.

"No! no he wasnt he was recharging!" Optimus snapped storming into his room with a whailing Bumblebee.
