I went into the academy with Ultra Magnus and watched as the young soldiers training did their drills. Sentinel greeted Ultra Magnus but completely ignored me. He might be nice to my father but he sure wasn't nice to me at all! I grimaced at the thought of having to stay here with Sentinel ALL DAY which was a complete NIGHTMARE! My servos shook at the very idea and I got a weird look from Ultra Magnus. "Is everything alright Cassie," he asked.
"Oh...everything is fine," I answered with a hint of sarcasm. He nodded and walked away after telling me to stay and watch the Autobot soldiers train so I could pick a guardian. I sat on the ground and watched.
~A FEW HOURS LATER~
Ultra Magnus came back only once to give me food and left again going back into the building where this time he told me to follow him. I saw, before disappearing in the building, two Autobots who caught my eye. They were both short and small but very fast. After we disappeared into the building the soldiers followed behind us in two straight lines just as they were taught marching in unison. Sentinel smiled at this until one of the Autobots fell out of line. He was one of the soldiers that had caught my eye earlier. All yellow with black stripes. Sentinel yelled at him and told him to get back in line. The yellow bot mumbled something under his breath and obeyed. What Sentinel didn't see was that the other short green bot that had also caught my eye had tripped the yellow one. The green one laughed silently and followed the rest into the auditorium. After that little stunt I knew which one I was picking. Sentinel showed me to a room that had all the profiles of each and every soldier in the academy spread out on a desk. The green short one was called Wasp and the yellow, black, short one was called Bumblebee. Wasp wasn't really the type I would like guarding me. There was also Longarm, Bulkhead, and...Bumblebee...he seemed nice and like he would protect me. I pointed to his profile and Sentinel left and came back with Bumblebee pushing him into the room before leaving with Ultra Magnus. Why did he leave me alone with him?! "Um...hi...I'm Cassie." I was trying so hard not to stutter.
"Hi I'm Bumblebee," he stated. He seemed nice enough.
For the next two hours Bumblebee and I talked. I even switched into my human form, which surprised him a little. We were the best of friends by now since we had so much in common. He told me about Wasp and how he suspected how he was a Decepticon double agent. He said that after he left the room he was going to expose him for who he truly was. I nodded my head, "you make a compelling argument with all the evidence you have."
"Thank you! Now I have someone else who knows and agrees with me," he half yelled with excitement.
I smiled at him. Well here goes everything. "Um Bumblebee...how would you like to be my guardian," I asked.
He just smiled at me for a little bit. "It's better than staying here. After I tell Sentinel Prime though. Today is my last day here anyway so sure." I smiled brightly as he put me on his shoulder and walked out of the room. I watched from his shoulder as he argued with Sentinel about Wasp being a double agent. Sentinel gave in and sent Wasp to the stockade. It was weird. The whole time this was going on Longarm looked really nervous until Bumblebee said that it was Wasp who was the double agent and Wasp looked appalled. Bumblebee volunteered to his new home at the palace where he would live with me and Ultra Magnus and I accepted his offer as he transformed. I got in the car and changed into my human form as he drove behind Ultra Magnus. I saw the palace barely come into view when I fell asleep.
