"Were back" Bulkhead said transforming with Arcee as the childeren walked around.
"Cee wanna..." Bumblebee started to chirp bouncing up and down beside Arcee.
"With the childeren...woohoo..." Arcee sarcastically cheered rolling her optics, not noticing Bumblebee below her, walking past him.
"Your a grumpy one" Jack said rolling his eyes.
"Cee..."
"Well having to babysit you yeah I guess so" Arcee growled still not noticing Bumblebee.
"Cee..."
"She'll warm up to you don't worry" Bulkhead said to Jack.
"Oh yeah?" Arcee growled giving Bulkhead and angry glare.
"Uh hey Arcee..." Jack called noticing the sparkling calling for Arcee, tried to get the femmes attention.
"Cee..."
"I was just..." Bulkhead stuttered backing away from the femme.
"You were what Bulkhead, please enlighten..."
"No mind..." Bumblebee lowly bleeped drooping his doorwings and walking away.
"Hey I think someone was trying to get your attention" Jack said pointing to the depressed sparkling sitting on the floor in the corner.
"...How long was he trying to get my attention?" Arceeasked shaking her helm.
"Since you got in the base" Jack answered.
"Scrap..." Arcee cursed at herself walking over to Bumblebee.
"...Hey buddy, sorry I didn't pay attention to you earlier" Arcee cooed kneeling down infront of Bumblebee.
"It k..." Bumblebee whirred quietly slightly looking up at the femme then back at the ground.
"You upset?" Arcee asked in a kind soft voice.
"No..." Bumblebee shook his helm and started to tear up.
"Aw Bee what's wrong?" Arcee asked sitting on the floor picking Bumblebee up and placing him in her lap.
"Cliff...why he have go!" Bumblebee cried resting his helm on Arcee.
"...He was at the wrong place at the wrong time Bee..." Arcee didn'y know what to say to the sparkling, she was just as upset as he was.
"...Not fair!" Bumblebee cried harder.
"I know it wasnt sweetie" Arcee said trying to hold back her own tears as she hugged the sparkling tightly.
"I no have nody to watch cartoons..." Bumblebee cried to Arcee.
"Aw Bee..." Arcee smiled to Bumblebee.
"Cee... you watch with me?" Bumblebee clicked through sobs.
"Aw of course I will Bee" Arcee chuckled and cried getting up while holding Bumblebee.
"Guess she wasnt joking when she said can watch cartoons back at base with Bumblebee" Jack thought outloud to himself.
"Jack you comming Bulkhead's taking Raf and I for a drive" Miko asked cheerfully.
"Nah I think I'll stick around here, you guys go ahead" Jack answered with a smile.
"Alright, see ya later" Miko said hopping Bulkhead before he drove away.
Bumblebee turned away from the cartoons for a moment seeing the lonely teen watching him and Arcee from a distance.
"Cee! Cee!" Bumblebee beeped and tapped Arcee's shoulder from where he sat.
"Bumblebee yes what is it?" Arcee chuckled watching Bumblebee bounce up and down from where he sat pointing over to Jack.
"He watch to?" Bumblebee clicked at Arcee.
"Him... I don't know... I guess I could ask..." Arcee sighed.
"Jack... Bumblebee thought you might want to watch cartoons with him or are you to old?" Arcee asked Jack rolling her optics.
"Uuuuh...yeah sure" Jack shrugged walking over to where the two sat on a giant couch.
Arcee rolled her optics and helped Jack up onto the couch so he could sit with them.
"Hi" Bumblebee chirped and smiled at Jack.
"Uuuh..."
"He said hi" Arcee translated in an annoyed tone.
"Oh hey there" Jack smiled and waved back.
"So you two like brother and sister, mother and..."
"Brother and sister" Arcee quickly answered Jack's question.
"So this is your little brother?" Jack asked Arcee.
"Yes... well he's not my actual little brother but he thinks so and so do I" Arcee answered Jack, watching Bumblebee as he focused on the cartoons not paying attention to the femme and human.
"So what about the others, like Ratchet" Jack asked.
"Him old as the Allspark, a very grumpy uncle" Arcee chuckled starting to enjoy the conversation.
"Bulkhead's a big brother I'm guessing" Jack said noticing Arcee getting along with him.
"Yup correct" Arcee nodded.
"What about Optimus?" Jack asked.
"Bumblebee the adopted son of Optimus, but dosen't know it" Arcee told Jack.
"Adopted why?" Jack asked getting interested in Bumblebee's past.
"Bumblebee was born four years earlier then he was supposed to be, but him being born in the middle of the war didn't help, Optimus found him in an abandonded storage unit only a few hours old, cold, hungry, and tinier than any normal sparkling" Arcee explained to Jack.
"Wow that's crazy" Jack sighed in amazment.
"And that's not his whole story" Arcee said to Jack.
"There's more?, what has this kid gone through?" Jack asked in surprise.
"In deed there is more Jack, and I'm afraid the more Bumblebee grows the more things will add to his story" Optimus smiled standing beside the couch.
"Opt!" Bumblebee chirped slipping off the couch bouncing over to Optimus hugging the primes leg.
"Hello little one" Optimus cooed picking Bumblebee up.
"AAAAH STUPID THING!" Ratchet shouted as a tool of his snapped.
"Know who really needs a hug?" Optimus gave a playfull smile to Bumblebee.
"Get away from me!, Bumblebee!" Ratchet growled as he was hugged by the giggling scout.
"Aw Ratchet lighten up, he's just trying to cheer you up" Arcee chuckled helping Jack off the couch before walking towards the med bay.
"Well I don't need a hug" Ratchet hissed picking Bumblebee up.
"Ha ha!" Bumblebee giggled happily as Ratchet held him out.
"...Fine...thank you for the hug" Ratchet sighed to Bumblebee, those optics of a sparkling are hard to resist, along with Bumblebee's adorable personality.
"You crazy little sparkling" Arcee cooed taking Bumblebee from Ratchet.
"Cee like hug to" Bumblebee squeaked hugging the femme that held him.
"Yeah" Arcee smiled returning the hug, while Optimus watched with a warm smile.
Jack watched the scene as well, knowing Bumblebee obviously meant alot to the team, Bumblebee seemed different from the others though besides his young age.
