"I thought there were only two" Ratchet asked Arcee and Bulkhead.
"Haven't you heard, humans multiply..." Arcee rolled her optics walking away from the humans.
"Hi hi!" Bumblebee happily beeped and waved to the humans.
"Bumblebee come here" Ratchet hissed pulling the sparkling back by his doorwings.
"I in trouble?" Bumblebee clicked to the cranky medic.
"Bumblebee they are humans, they most likely wont understand what you are saying" Ratchet told the sparkling in a sympathetic tone as Optimus talked with the hamuns.
"Oh...ok..." Bumblebee whirred sadly, watching Optimus finish his sentence, as an alarm sounded.
"What's that!?" Jack asked in a surprised tone.
"Proximity sensor someone's up top" Bulkhead answered as the screen showed Agent fowler comming out of a helicopter.
"It would be wise as to not show the humans to Agent fowler at the moment.
"Where's prime!" Agent fowler growled walking out from an elevator.
"Agent fowler..."
"Two car accidents, reports of gun fire, and traffic reports of a speeding motorcycle and black and yellow muscle car!" Agent fowler growled turning to the femme and the smaller scout that hid behind Arcee.
"Look that one he's so tiny compared to the others" Jack whispered to Miko and Raf.
"He's the one that came after the motorcycle got hit hard by those other things" Raf whispered back.
"Aw he's a little baby, I wonder how far the big guy could throw him" Miko thought outloud.
"Miko why would you think of something like that!?, if he's a baby he's fragile" Jack snapped in a whisper to Miko.
"I assure you we are dealing with it" Optimus sighed as Agent fowler left.
"He scary..." Bumblebee beeped to Arcee.
"Aw Bee it's just an act" Arcee chuckled picking Bumblebee up.
"What was that about?" Jack asked as he Miko and Raf came out from their hidding spot.
"Agent fowler is our outside communications with the human millitary" Optimus explained.
"He obviously wasnt to happy about what happened the other day" Raf said in frightened tone.
"If we didn't do that humans would have been killed" Arcee said placing Bumblebee back down, watching the scout bounce off into his room.
"So who's who..." Jack asked the bots.
"Oh sorry, I'm Optimus prime, this is my Chief medical officer and scientist Ratchet, this our wreacker Bulkhead, and this is Arcee my field marshall..." Optimus introduced his bots to the humans.
"And who's the little guy?" Miko asked pointing to the ywellow small bot bouncing over to Optimus.
"This is Bumblebee, our scout in training" Optimus explained pulling Bumblebee close to his side.
"May I aske how old he is?" Jack asked.
"Very very young" Bulkhead answered.
"A specific number would be great..." Miko rolled her eyes.
"3" Optimus answered.
"Three years old and you have him fighting!" All three humans said in shock.
"Exactly what I said..." Arcee smirked.
"Yes... I do not agree throwing someone this young into a war either, but we've lost a valuable teammate recently, and need the help" Optimus explained to the humans.
"Opt can we go play?" Bumblebee chirped pulling on Optimus's servo.
"No, not with the decepticons back" Optimus answered Bumblebee.
"So what age does he stop beeping at, and starst talking like you guys?" Jack asked looking at the flailing femme and wreaker.
"He's not going to speak like us, he lost his voice" Ratchet answered with a sad sigh.
"Oooooh..." All three humans sighed feeling a little awkward for asking.
"You will need protection now thatthe decepticons figure you are on our team" Optimus changed the subject.
"Bulkhead you will be gaurdian of Miko and Raf, Arcee with Jack" Optimus announced.
"Ugh..." Arcee growled rolling her optics at her leaders words.
"Oh man is it that late already, my moms going to kill me" Jack said looking at his cellphone.
"I don't think I follow..." Optimus said in a confused tone.
"We got to get home before our parents start wondering where we are" Jack explained to Optimus.
"Oh, Bulkhead and Arcee will accompany you and bring you back tomorrow" Optimus told the humans.
"Stupid..." Arcee growled transforming.
"Bye" Bumblebee waved and chirped as the two bots drove away with the humans.
"Little one you should be getting ready to recharge pretty fast" Optimus said,walking up to the sparkling standing infront of the base enterance.
"But Opt I no tired..." Bumblebee whirred to Optimus that stood infront of him.
"Come on you" Optimus cooed hefting Bumblebee into his arms.
"Can we play yesterday?" Bumblebee clicked tiredly as Optimus rubbed his helm.
"You mean tomorrow, we'll see little one" Optimus chuckled.
"We don't have time for play with the cons being back" Ratchet sighed as Optimus lulled Bumblebee to recharge.
"I fear the decepticons are preparing for his return..." Optimus growled.
"Megatron..." Ratchet sighed shaking his helm.
"We should be preparing for anything, Megatron is an evil unpredictable leader that can make matters worse in seconds" Optimus told Ratchet as he walked down the hallway into Bumblebee's room.
"Now we might be facing Megatron, an evil mech that can offline you easily..., Throwing you into battle and war was the last thing I wanted to do to you" Optimus sighed to the slumbering sparkling in his arms.
"Click click click..." Bumblebee clicked and shifted as he recharged in the primes arms.
Optimus sighed placing Bumblebee downih hise berth before leaving the room.
Next morning.
"Cliiiiff... cliff..."
Optimus and Ratchet looked down the hallway from the main room, to see the tiny scout bouncing from room to room calling and looking for his big brother that would watch cartoons with him every morning.
"Opt where Cliff?" Bumblebee chirped bouncing up infront of Optimus.
"Little one...Cliffjumper is not here anymore" Optimus kneeled down to be level with the sparkling, Optimus told Bumblebee in a soft tone.
"Where he go?" Bumblebee asked Optimus with confused optics.
"Bumblebee he's gone, offlined remember" Ratchet said comming into the conversation.
"Oh...wish he still here..." Bumblebee bleeped tearing up.
"I know little one..." Optimus sighed giving Bumblebee a hug.
"...Where Cee n Bulk?" Bumblebee clicked sadly, looking around the room to see no femme or wreaker.
"They stayed with the childeren" Optimus said with a small smile.
"Opt?" Bumblebee beeped as Optimus stood up straight.
"Think Cee watch Cartoons?" Bumblebee twittered with inocents.
"I think so" Optimus chuckled patting Bumblebee's helm.
