Bumblebee rolled to the side on his sleeping berth, sighing softly.
5:30, red the clock.
Bumblebee never got up this early in the morning. Nor did he want to. But now being the apprentice to Prime, Bee thought he could impress his leader.
Slowly, the young bot staggered out of bed, stretching his tired servos. The night before he had decided to get up early and make some energon tea for Optimus. That when Optimus woke up he would see that that Bumblebee was already to go!
Bee silently left his room and made his way into the stoke room near the hanger. This is were the Atuobots kept there oil and energon. Almost like kitchen he humans called.
Bumblebee entered the room ready to start the tea when…
"Oh hello Bumblebee. You're up early."
The young bots door wings drooped as he looked up at his leader who was already sipping energon tea.
(G-Good mourning Sir.) Beeped Bumblebee, disappointed. He really wanted to impress Optimus! But the Prime beat him to it! This made Bumblebee wonder just how early did Optimus wake up?
Interrupting his thoughts, Optimus smiled. "Bee," He said in a father like tone. "I didn't know you got up this early. Usually Ratchet is the next one up."
Bumblebee blinked, finding his chance to impress the Prime. (I wanted to get up early Sir. So we can start training right away.)
Bumblebee waited for his response, hoping Optimus would see how serious he was. But to Bee's surprise, Optimus started to…chuckle?
"Bumblebee," Optimus said, his voice highly amused. He came over placing a hand on the younger bots shoulder. "I'm glad to hear you are ready to begin work. This shows sings of a great leader."
Bumblebee felt himself perk up. Him? A great leader? Did Optimus really just say that? Bumblebee couldn't believe it! He was so used to being the youngest and less experienced of the group. The thought of him being a leader surprised him, but also made him a bit fearful. What if he wasn't cut out to be a leader? Let alone Prime. What if he messed up? He didn't want to fail Optimus.
"Bumblebee," Optimus said, seeming to notice to fear in the young bots silence. "I have faith in you."
If Bumblebee could smiled he would. Trying to get his voice together, Bumblebee managed to hum out the words, (I wont let you down Sir.)
O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Not to far off, up in the clouds, a faceless and voiceless being played back Bumblebee's words.
~I wont let you down Sir~
The being repeated in a muffled voice.
The second being in the room smirked, a twisted smile appearing on his face.
"Well Sound Wave," Said the owner of the evil face, known as Starscream. "Looks like another Prime has been found."
Soundwave played back another recording, this time Optimus's muffled voice played through his speakers.
And since the disappearance of Megatron and lack of Decpticon activity I have decided on something. With your permission, I would like to continue your Cybertron training and take you as my apprentice.~
"And so young to." Starcsream mumbled. "What is Prime thinking? Choosing a mere child?"
The Decpticon Seeker turned away from the muted soundwave.
"At least he will be easy to destroy."
