"I dissagree completely Arcee, but there's nothing we can do, it's not up to us" Cliffjumper said over the COM as he drove down a sunny pathed road.
"But he's only seven our years and three is his actual age, because Ratchet said Bee is always four years behind his actual age..." Arcee growled over her COM.
"Arcee the docs right the sparkling was supposed to be hatched four years later, not four years ahead" Cliff said to Arcee over the COM.
"He's a sparkling for Primus sake!, you don't throw a sparkling that bearly is cabable of speech, has no clue how to fight, or what he's fighting for, into a war!" Arcee hissed over her COM.
"Hang on a minute, I'm picking up something" Cliffjumper said changing the subject.
"...You need back up?" Arcee asked calming down.
"Do I ever need back up?" Cliffjumper laughed as he drove off the road and transformed into a pit full of energon it only took a second for him to be shot at, and for him to notice the Nemesis above him.
"...Uh... about that back up"

"Arcee"
"Cliffs gone standong around here doing nothing isn't going to help" Arcee said as she walked away from the group.
"Cee..." Bumblebee cried as Arcee drove away.
"Bumblebee you may follow her, but be carful there are cons around" Optimus warned as Bumblebee nodded and drove off.
"Bulkhead would you go make sure those two don't get into trouble" Ratchet asked the wreaker.
"Sure thing" Bulkhead said tranforming and driving the same way Arcee and Bumblebee went.
In a construction zone jasper Nevada
"What did we just see" A little boy asked the older boy as they left the bots battle scene.
"I don't know and I don't wanna find out" The older boy said guiding the younger one.
"Ah!" Bumblebee squeaked in pain as he was kicked across the ground landing infront of Arcee.
"Bee!" Arcee quicly pulled the smaller bot up to his shaky feet.
HONK HONK
"Who's ready to rummble!" Bulkhead transformed, said pounding his fists together.
Both of the cons transformed and drove off quickly.
"What the hell took you so long!?" Arcee growled to the giant bot.
"Traffic" Bulkhead sighed.
Base
"And I would have scrapped them if it weren't for the human boy..." Arcee explained.
"Human?" Optimus asked.
"Two" Bumblebee bleeped.
"Two boys" Optimus said in surprise.
"Yeah stupid cons chased after them" Arcee sighed.
"They might be in danger, you and Bulkhead will bring them here tomorrow" Optimus told the two.
"Ugh..." Arcee growled rolling her optics and walking away.
"Bumblebee?" Optimus called.
"Opt why I get no pick up humans?" Bumblebee chirped.
"You're still to new at this stuff to be worrying about a human little one" Optimus explained.
"Oh... k" Bumblebee clicked and whirred.
"You are staying out of trouble right?" Optimus asked his tiny scout.
"Uhuh" Bumblebee nodded.
"Good" Optimus smiled patting Bumblebee's helm before walking away.
"Optimus..." Arcee said walking up to the prime as Bumblebee walked over to the wreacker.
"Yes Arcee?" Optimus answered.
"Optimus I dissagree" Arcee sighed watching Bulkhead wrestle with Bee eventually turning into tickle torture.
"My decision is absolutely wrong Arcee you are right to dissagree, but we have lost a teammate and we cannot be shy of one soldier in the field.
"Aah!, No ticklez!" Bumblebee squeaked and giggled trying to block Bulkhead's tickles.
"Bumblebee is not a soldier, he's a sparkling that just wants to prove himself to his team" Arcee told the prime.
"Arcee you Are right but Bumblebee is a quick learner"
"Optimus it dosen't matter you're throwing the last sparkling of our race into the war and you're risking the loss of what pretty much is your son" Arcee growled.
"..." Optimus closed his optics and sighed.
"Optimus you..."
"Cee!" Bumblebee chirped bouncing over to the femme and hugging her.
"Hi Bee" Arcee cooed picking up the sparkling.
Bumblebee giggled as he was hefted in the femmes arms, Bumblebee giggled and looked over to the depressed looking prime.
"Why Opt sad Cee?" Bumblebee beeped to Arcee.
"He's just thinking about something sweetie" Arcee said glaring at Optimus.
"You had your first real battle today" Arcee sighed rubbing Bumblebee's helm.
"Yeah!" Bumblebee purred as Arcee massaged his helm.
"Cee down?" Bumblebee clicked reaching for the ground.
"Ok there you go" Arcee cooed watching Bumblebee bounce off into the med bay up to Ratchet.
"Ratch!" Bumblebee chirped from behind the working medic.
"Ah!, geez what?" Ratchet growled turning and looking down at the sparkling.
"Why I so little?" Bumblebee buzzed to Ratchet.
"Well... your ststems are a little differen't from a normal sparkling, you grow at a differen't rate then others" Ratchet said lifting Bumblebee up onto the medbay.
"What that mean?" Bumblebee clicked in confusion.
"It means you wont grow much bigger then this" Ratchet said to the sparkling.
"Aw... why?" Bumblebee whirred.
"Because you're different" Ratchet sighed.
"Why I diffent?" Bumblebee twittered tilting his helm.
"Different... because Bumblebee" Ratchet sighed in annoyance loud enough for Optimus to hear from where he stood beside the med bay.
"But why?"
"..."
"Ok!, that's enough questions for today little one!" Optimus cooed picking Bumblebee up off the medical berth before Ratchet lost his temper, lifting Bumblebee up above his helm recieving giggles and squeaks from the tiny scout.
"Thank primus..." Ratchet sighed with relief.
"Bumblebee are you asking Ratchet lots of questions?" Optimus cooed holding Bumblebee out infront of him.
"Ya!" Bumblebee chirped to Optimus.
"You might want to watch your amount of questions little one" Optimus cooed.
"Why?" Bumblebee beeped as Optimus held him close to hiself.
"Because Ratchet has a quick temper and a short fuse" Optimus chuckled to the young scout.
"Dat funny Opt!" Bumblebee squeaked not fully understanding what Optimus said but it sounded funny.
"Ow!" Optimus winced as he got hit in the back of the helm by a flying wrench.
"..." Bumnlebee whimpered ducking behind the primes shoulder.
"Oh your halarious!" Ratchet growled waving another wrench.
"The twins would have warned you about the wrenches" Optimus said jumping out of the way of another wrench as he jumped into the hallway where Arcee was walking out of.
"The hell..." Arcee raised an optic ridge as a wrench flew past her.
