Hey! So I hear you love the story! Thank you! Someone needs to tell me if people actually read these things…

Chapter 9

"Yes, but if he knew you would be handcuffed and in the cells" Bee replied... "Yeah I suppose you're right... I need to change back into a male though" soundwave comments idly.

"You will not while you're here!" Bee commanded quickly "if you want to then you leave the base... till then welcome to the life of a femme" Bee said opening her arms.

"What? NO!" Soundwave hissed at Bee.

Bee just shrugged, those were Soundwaves only options.

"Bee... get me outta here! Please! I'm not meant to be a girl!" Soundwave pleads with Bee.

"Well, you can just leave... I think" Bee thought for a moment, "I think Optimus wanted to talk to you, but then I'm pretty sure that you can leave" Bee shrugged again, going to the bathroom to change from the dirty clothes. Once she came out changed there was a knock at the door.

Optimus needed to talk to Bees friend and so he made his way to bee's room.

Soundwave looked panicked, "You wanna calm down before I open the door?" Bee asked hand on the handle. Soundwave calmed down and Bee opened the door to find Optimus.

"Bumblebee, I need your report on what has happened" optimus says as he takes in the other girl in the room.

"Okay, so after you left, Megatron and a few other cons busted in, Megatron didn't know who I was, thank Primus! But he did believe that we both were normal humans who knew about the Autobots. He wanted to know where the base was. Long story short, I threw a vase a Megatron and we ran here. probably not the best idea because that's probably how they knew where to attack..." Bee said quickly but slow enough for Optimus to understand.

"Well at least we're not dead" soundwave throws in helpfully. Everyone just looks at her strangely.

"You did the right thing getting yourself and your friend out of the situation Bumblebee" Optimus replied to Bee's report, "but there is the problem of your friend's safety" he continued. "Right Optimus, this is Harley, and yeah since the cons saw her with us..." Bee replied for the time being they ignored the femme Soundwave.

"What? No! I can't stay here!" Soundwave shouts at them both.

The two autobots were startled by her outburst. "Okay Harley chill." Bee said giving her a glare, "I'm sure we can figure something out" she suggested looking to Optimus for help.

"I'm not stay here bee... you know why" soundwave replied. Just then ratchet came in. "Optimus, I'm detecting high levels of energon in here, much more than there should be if it were just you two" Soundwave and Bee looked at each other nervously.

'Scrap' Bee thought. "How is that possible Ratchet?" Optimus asked calmly and confused.

Soundwave and Bee knew that they were in deep shite.

"It's not possible, unless Bumblebee's friend isn't human" Ratchet stated, "but Bumblebee isn't dumb enough, it must be a glitch or something..." he finished trailing off, not knowing things annoyed him. Bee was relieved that they didn't know anything. Optimus was going to say something when he was called away by Fowler, "We'll sort something out later" Optimus told Bee. When Optimus left Ratchet turned to the girls and straight away said, "What are you up to Bumblebee?".

"I have no idea what you're talking about" says Bee as she looks away.

"Bumblebee... who is this really?" Ratchet pressed, "Ratch, this is Harley a human, your being ridiculous! you just said it's a glitch in the system!" Bee defended. "Bumblebee, stop lying to me!" Ratchet demanded, it actually hurt Bee by the look on his face, Ratchet didn't like his team lying to him and although he understood that Bee was still young and would occasionally lie he still didn't like it.

Soundwave was quite for the whole argument, not wanting to interrupt and get caught.

"Ratchet, I can't" Bee said defeated, she had promised not to say anything about it being Soundwave and even though it tore her apart she wouldn't break it. "Why not? Bumblebee it can't be that bad..." Ratchet said in a quiet tone, one that Bee had not heard, but Ratchet saw that she was fighting a battle in her head and thought that yelling at the youngling might not be a good idea.

"You can tell if you need to Bumbles, I just was hoping to get a head start first but that ain't gonna happen so be my guest" soundwave comments as she inspected her nails "I might be able to change back too".

"But I promised..." Bee muttered quietly, she felt terrible, Ratchet was something of a father to her and she hated the way he was looking at her with hurt clearly written on his face.

"Go on bee, they would have found out eventually, I don't want you to get into extra trouble for me" soundwave replied back with a smile.

"That's not Harley" Bee admitted, she dare not look at Ratchet, "its Soundwave" Bee said really quietly and quickly.

"I'm sorry can you please repeat that?" Ratchet asks hoping he heard wrong.

"You heard" Bee mumbled staring guiltily at her feet.

"You mean to tell me that THAT is soundwave?!" (I nearly wrote Deadpool for some reason) ratchet hissed.

"Yes" Bee mumbled scared what Ratchet's next reaction would be, she feared the worst.

Soundwave decided to cut in by changing back to his male form, feeling all eyes on him as he did...

Bee didn't look up from her feet, but Ratchet was freaked.

"How can he even do that in this form?" Ratchet asks bee.

the most important part of us, he's still more machine than man" Bee explained still not looking up from her feet.

Bee felt something touch her head and looked up, Soundwaves feeler was messing with her hair while ratchet just looked stunned.

She whacked the feeler away, she wasn't in the mood, she didn't realise that Soundwave was trying to comfort her. Ratchet was stunned by the feeler and by Soundwave in general.

Soundwave looked down, not wanting bee to see his hurt. He didn't know what to do. He had only wanted to help but he just seemed to mess it up more.

Bee couldn't handle the silence, "I'm sorry" she said to Ratchet and ran out of the room, down the halls of the base, and out of the base.

"I'm sorry about this" soundwave says to ratchet, still refusing to look up.

"You can be sorry later," Ratchet said finally snapping out of his stunned state, "Are you able to transform back to Harley?" Ratchet asked. "I need your help to find Bumblebee, she'll get herself into trouble while she's upset, and we need to hurry, she's fast, and we don't need the autobots stopping us for seeing you" Ratchet explained further, he may have been hurt by Bee's lies but he knew that the youngling was trouble and he didn't want her to hurt herself.

Instead of answering soundwave just turned back. She silently followed ratchet out of the base. "She about 2 miles ahead of us" soundwave told him, in a mix of voices, not wanting to speak knowing that ratchet wouldn't care either way.

"That damn femme, it hasn't been 2 minutes and she's already far away" Ratchet mumbled, "We'll never catch her by foot, we'll have to take one of the cars" Ratchet stated leading Soundwave over to the car that he was assigned to. Ratchet paused when they reached the car then threw Soundwave the keys, at her confused look he explained, "You have her location, you drive" he got in the car after that.

Soundwave got in the car and drove off in the direction that Bee had gone. She stopped and pointed out at bee, who was sitting on a park bench.

She had tear stains on her face, a blank look staring out at the lake in front of the bench.

Soundwave got out of the car and changed back to male. He watched as ratchet hugged her and comforted her. "It's not your fault Bee. You made a promise" ratchet says as he hugged her. "No one will blame you, we're Just glad you're safe.".
