Chapter 8
A/N: I sadly don't own TFP or Descendants. Just my OCs.
Midnight shifted through her bag, looking for her mirror.
"Looking for something?' the teacher asked holding up her mirror. "Thank you Firestorm, nice to see some people still respect the honor code." He patted Firestorm on the shoulder. "It'll be my recommendation that you're expelled.
"But that's not fair," Smokescreen said stopping Midnight from saying anything. "Obviously she wasn't looking for that thingy if she didn't have it! Maybe she needed another pencil?"
"Alright," the teacher sighed. "If you can pass this test, I'll give you back your property, and let you off with a warning."
"Thanks," she whispered.
"Don't mention it," Smokescreen responded. "You want me to beat Firestrom up for that?" He may have been in band, but he still had enough muscle to rival some of tourney players, he was the coach's son after all.
"Thanks for the offer, but 'Bee already threatened to hurt him if he hurt me, and apparently he didn't get the message, so I'll just let him curse him or whatever he feels like," she said, and Smokescreen stifled a laugh.
"Send me a video, I want to see the look on his face," he said.
"Will do," she said going back to her test.
-.-
Midnight sat next to Smokescreen, and showed him a B+ on her examination booklet. "For the first time it seems like I'm more than just a pretty face," she said.
"Shocking huh?" the blonde said.
"Thanks again for what you did back there," she said. "I bet I could get an A on the next test without the mirror."
"Hey did 'Bee do his thing to Firestorm yet?" Smokescreen asked.
"Primus it's going to be hilarious!" Midnight exclaimed. "'Bee found out that Firestorm was taking steroids, and he switched the steroid pills out for estrogen pills!"
"Really?!" Smokescreen said trying not to laugh. When Midnight nodded, he burst into a laughing fit.
"MIDNIGHT!" 'Bee called running to them, skidding to a stop.
"What's wrong?" she asked seeing his panicked expression.
"Moonrose just asked me out on…" Bumblebee stopped a blush creeping onto his pale cheeks, "a date!"
"We can handle this," Midnight said with a devious grin. She gave Smokescreen a quick peck on the cheek. "I'll see you later."
"Yea…" he said placing a hand on his cheek blushing.
"You're looking a bit pale," she said.
"Since when do I not?" 'Bee groaned.
"Maybe a bit of blush…"
"I'm not putting on make-up!" he exclaimed.
-.-
"Leave my hair alone!" Bumblebee snapped.
"You asked for my help," Midnight said.
"Yea, but I don't want my hair slicked back like some preppy prince!" he growled.
"My mother has been teaching me this stuff, since before I could talk," Midnight said.
"My dad wasn't really into that," 'Bee said. "I learned how to fight with every weapon imaginable, since I could walk."
"Well that's why you have me," she said. "Are you ever scared of your dad?"
"Who isn't? I just want him to be proud of me…he gets really angry when I disappoint him. But he's my dad so I know he loves me," 'Bee sighed. "You?"
"Mom's not a barrel of laughs when she doesn't get her way," she responded, "just ask Moonracer." Seeing his depressed expression she decided to change the subject. "Look in the mirror."
Bumblebee got up, and blinked in surprise. He was wearing a blue button-up t-shirt, jeans, and converses. "Thanks Midnight," he said giving her a one-armed hug, before heading to the courtyard.
-.-
Bumblebee was leaning against a pillar, when Moonrose came down. She was wearing a very short purple spaghetti strapped dress, black leggings, and boots.
"Hey…you look amazing," 'Bee said.
"Thanks, you look different," she smiled. "Hope you like horseback riding." She took his hand and led him to the stables. "We all have our own horses here, so you get to pick your own."
"Wait, every single student here has their own horse?" 'Bee asked looking astonished.
"Yep," she said leading him to a paddock. "This has all the unclaimed horses, you get to pick one," she said pushing him in.
Bumblebee looked at the horses, not sure witch one to get. Something pushed his back, and he turned around to see a stallion that was slightly larger than the other horses, it was jet black, with a white star on its forehead, and a silver-gold mane/tail, and white stockings.
"Can I have this one?" he asked.
"Yea, no one's ever been able to get close to that mustang," she smiled. "What're you gonna name him?"
"Shadow," 'Bee said.
"Suits him," she said grabbing some tack. "Do you ride Western or European?"
"Western," he said.
With an undignified grunt, Moonrose handed him the heavy tack. "Saddle him up."
A few minutes later 'Bee was sitting on his horse waiting for his date. Moonrose rode out, also on a western saddle. Her horse was a silver mare with black stockings, mane, and tail. "Ready?" she asked.
"Yep," he said giving a kick, and the two horses took off into the forest.
-.-
"Tell me something about yourself that you've never told anyone," Moonrose said.
"My middle name is Sparkfire," he said.
"Sparkfire?" she said. "I've never heard that one before, I like it."
"My mom chose my name, if it was up to my dad I'd be Steve Stephen," he said.
"That's horrible!" Moonrose said trying not to laugh, but unfortunately was failing
"Just my dad doing what he does best, being evil," 'Bee laughed.
"Mine's Grace," she said.
"It's pretty," 'Bee said. "Moonrose Grace."
"It's better than Steve Stephen."
-.-
Moonrose led a blindfolded 'Bee through the forest.
"Shouldn't this be the other way around?" he asked, as he almost tripped.
"Not this time," Moonrose laughed. Stopping and turning him, she removed the blindfold. "Tada!"
Bumblebee smiled taking her hand, and he led her down to the lakeside picnic.
-.-
"This your first time?" Moonrose asked.
"We don't really have dating on the island, just getting activity," 'Bee said.
"I meant eating an éclair," she laughed.
"That obvious?" 'Bee asked. She pointed to the corner of his mouth and he wiped it off.
"I've been doing all the talking," Moonrose said. "I barely know anything about you. Tell me something."
"I'm sixteen, only child, only ever lived in one place," he supplied.
"Same here! We have so much in common already!" she said excitedly.
"Trust me," Bumblebee laughed, "we don't…so now you're gonna be queen."
"Yea," she said solemnly.
"What?"
"A crown doesn't make you queen," she said.
"No, it kinda does," he argued.
"Your father is the King of Evil, and I have the poster parents for goodness," she stated. "But we aren't automatically like them; we get to choose who we get to be. And right now…I can look in your eyes, and I can see you aren't evil."
Bumblebee looked taken aback. "You're the first person to ever say that to me," he said surprised.
"Let's go for a swim," Moonrose said.
"I didn't bring my swimsuit!" he objected.
"I figured," she said tossing him a bag, inside there was a pair of swim trunks with little crowns on them.
"Did you seriously give me swim trunks with little crowns?" he asked.
Moonrose just laughed, and went to get in her swimsuit.
Sighing he got in the suit, and dove into the water. Popping up he saw Moonrose in a red bikini with little black dragons on them, standing on the large rock the small waterfall was coming from.
"Is today opposite day or something?" he asked.
She just smiled, and released a battle cry, jumping into the water. Smiling 'Bee went underwater and swam towards her.
"'Bee?" she asked surfacing. Looking around she couldn't see him, and she got worried. "Bumblebee?!"
'Bee grabbed her leg and pulled her under. He popped up laughing his head off, while she just glared at him.
"Don't do that!" she said splashing him. "You gave me a heart attack!"
"Can I do this then?" he asked with a mischievous grin.
Moonrose then found herself floating in a giant water bubble suspended above the pond. "Ah! Put me down!" she commanded, popping her head out of the bottom of the bubble. "Though this is kinda cool."
"Your wish is my command," 'Bee said gently dropping her back into the pond. He handed her a glowing rock. "I found this fancy rock. I don't know if you'd like it, but…here."
"A wish stone," she said amazed.
"What's a wish stone?"
"You make a wish, and toss the stone back in the pond, and it's supposed to come true," she said. Making her wish she dropped it back into the water.
"C'mon let's get back to the picnic, I want to try those strawberries!" 'Bee exclaimed, swimming back.
They climbed back onto the small grotto, and sat down. Bumblebee picked up a strawberry, and took a bite, his eyes going wide. Moonrose laughed at his expression as he began to devour the unfortunate berries.
"Don't eat all of them," she laughed watching him go for more.
"I won't make any promises," he said going for another.
"'Bee…" Moonrose said. "I told you that I loved you…what about you? Do you love me?"
Bumblebee's expression turned unreadable. "I don't know what love is, let alone feels like," he sighed.
"Maybe I can show you," she said. A moment later she pressed her lips to his. 'Bee sat there stunned for a moment, but then leaned into the kiss.
