I know this is two weeks late, I'm so sorry! This semester is really crazy. I have labs every day but Friday! I'm also out of pre-written chapters so updates probably won't be regular for a while. I'll try and work on them when I can.

Anyways here's a sweet little chapter for you guys!

Guest: I don't think they would! Anna and Bee are like the OTP of the team, haha.

Alexandria Prime: The sass levels would be off the charts!

Adby1: Thank you! And yeah, they're creepy.

Guest #2: I might just be doing that. ;)

JJ: He is and thank you! I loved writing that part. *High five given* I loved the hug as well, I love Grimlock so much. Steeljaw being a problem is going to be his evil plans and his persistance. He feels like Anna would be perfect by his side so he's going to do his best to get her.

Also, you didn't sound rude! I just didn't know what you were referring to, haha.

Gry20: That would be really cute. They would be such good parents.

Anna practically ran through her ground bridge, looking around for her mate. "Bee?" She jogged to the middle of the junk yard, spotting almost everyone looking at her weirdly.

Sideswipe tilted his helm as he finished buffing his arm. "What's up with you?"

Anna grinned, running over to Bee who was talking to Strongarm. "Bee!"

Bee turned to her, chuckling as she fell into his arms, spinning him around. "What's going on, Anna?"

Anna sat Bee down, kissing him in front of everyone. The quiet chatter turned to pure silence at what happened.

Sideswipe was smirking at Grimlock, waggling his eye ridges. Strongarm was looking away, trying not to stare. Fixit was too shocked to even try to hide his staring. Denny was chuckling softly while Russell looked away, embarrassed.

Anna pulled back, grinning even more at the cute expression Bee was making. "Today's family day on Raf's base. We can go see him!"

Bumblebee grinned at her, realizing why she was so happy. "That's great!" He then paused, "What's family day?"

Anna tried to calm down a little but was still grinning. "It's the day before graduation. They usually present awards during this time and go through some demonstrations. After that you can spend some time with your family until after graduation."

Bumblebee smiled at her, "And you're going to go see him?"

Anna frowned at him, "You're coming with me."

Bumblebee rubbed the back of his helm, laughing nervously. "Do you think that's a good idea? I'm sure he's really mad at me… I wouldn't want to ruin his day. Besides I don't even have a holoform."

Anna stepped towards him, frowning more when Bee began backing up. "You don't want to go."

Bumblebee continued backing up, glancing at his teammates and friends for help. No one would meet his optics, already knowing this was gonna be bad. "I d-do. It's just… I'm nervous?"

Anna crossed her arms, frowning at him still. "Nervous. Well then." She motioned towards him, "I was nervous when I met you but I'm still here. I'm still here even after all the shit I've been through, Bee. I've been poisoned with Dark Energon. I've been injured by Decepticons multiple times. I was almost dissected! I was human and didn't have to become part of this world. But I'm still here because I love you."

Everyone around them was gaping, not knowing what kind of life Anna had lived before they met her. They realized why she seemed to be so haunted at times.

Bumblebee walked closer to his mate, frowning. "Anna… I know. I'm sorry, darling'. I love you so much I just don't know how to do this." He hugged her close, venting. "I don't know how to make everything up to Raf… It's a bit easier with you…"

Anna hugged him tightly, "Just be there for him. Don't leave us again, that's all we'll ask of you."

Bumblebee picked her up, carrying her off so they could have some privacy. "I'm not going to leave you two again, I promise."

Anna looked up at him, trying not to let coolant flow from her optics. "You better keep it this time or I'll hunt you down."

Bumblebee smiled, leaning down to kiss her helm. "I will." He laid down against the fence, holding her in his lap. Once she was comfy he gently nuzzled her, cooing softly in Cybertronian. He used to do it for her when she was human but it worked much better now.

Anna relaxed against him, venting softly. "I love you."

Bumblebee smiled, rubbing her arm gently. "I love you too, Darlin'."

Anna gently hooked up the cables to Bumblebee, smiling down at him. "Don't look so nervous, Bee. I'm not going to hurt you."

Bumblebee grinned nervously up at his mate. "Not intentionally."

Anna huffed and looked up at Ratchet who was reading his scan of Bee. "Ratchet, you know I won't mess up, right?"

Ratchet looked up at her and then down at Bee, smirking. "Don't make her mad now, she'll mess up your holoform."

Anna chuckled at the panic expression Bee gave her. "I won't do that, but it's tempting." She leaned down and gently kissed him. "It's not even going to take five minutes, Bee. I promise."

Bumblebee kissed her back before venting as he dropped his helm down on the berth. "If you say so."

Ratchet smirked as he began inducing stasis. "See you soon, sunshine."

Bumblebee tried to protest but was knocked out too fast.

Anna smiled and gently caressed the side of his helm. She looked up when she felt Ratchet staring. She blushed at his blatant grin at them. "Oh shush." She stood up, going to the computer. She began working on installing her modified holoform program to Bumblebee's processor.

Ratchet chuckled as he monitored the warrior, no longer a scout. "I didn't say anything, Anna."

Anna grumbled to herself. "You didn't need to." Anna looked up when she heard the door open. She relaxed when it was only Miko. "I thought you would be on a mission somewhere."

Miko walked up to them, grinning. "Nope! I finished in time for our little Raf's graduation." She was wearing a black, band tee with jeans. She had on some rainbow converse and her hair pulled back with a clip. "What are you doing to Bee? Torture? I'm totally in!"

Anna laughed, "No. I'm installing the holoform program."

Miko walked up on the platform, peering down at Bee. "Hmm. I wonder what he'll look like." She looked at Ratchet and winked, "You were a surprise too, Ratchet."

Ratchet shook his helm, "It's your fault for believing I would be ugly."

Miko shrugged, turning to Anna. "You're just so grumpy."

Anna smiled and finished installing the program, letting his processor adjust. "It was a surprise to me as well. Your processor just happened to pick Gerard Butler as inspiration?"

Ratchet smirked at her. "I guess so."

Anna gently removed the cables from her mate, letting him start to wake up. "Now to wait and see what Bee's processor chooses."

Miko drummed her fingers on the railing, "I hope it's that Winchester brother!"

Anna chuckled, "Dean?"

Miko smirked, "Hell yeah."

Bumblebee groaned as he came to, sitting up slowly. "Everything okay?"

Anna smiled and gently helped him up, "Let's find out. Run the program."

Bumblebee looked up the new program, letting it start up. He felt a shock run through his system before his whole consciousness split. He was vaguely aware of his real body but now he was looking up at himself. He looked down, seeing white arms sticking out. "Whoa… This is so cool!" He looked up at Anna, grinning. His grin faltered at how tall she seemed from his level. "You're so much taller now…"

Anna smiled at him, "And your holoform is sexy as hell." She then looked away when Miko laughed loudly. "Sorry."

Bumblebee smirked at her, "Oh really?" He looked up when Ratchet held out a mirror for him. He bad blonde hair that was a bit long but slicked back. He had a beard that matched his hair color. His eyes were the same, striking blue as his real form. His biceps were very large and he could tell he had what humans called abs. He was wearing a black and white plaid shirt, jeans and yellow converse. He liked it and could tell Anna did too if what her expressions showed.

Anna had enough and activated her own holoform, appearing in front of her mate. She smiled at him, reaching out to caress his cheek. "I prefer the real you but you're hot no matter what."

Bumblebee smiled and stepped closer, gently touching her face. Her skin felt different in this form but still just as soft as he remembered. "Can I try something?"

Anna nodded, tilting her head. "Sure?"

Bee leaned forward, kissing her. He loved kissing her normally but this was wonderful in its own way. Their lips were soft and warm in these bodies. His pseudo nerves were on fire with sensations he was picking up from kissing her. It was wonderful.

Anna pulled back, blushing when she heard Miko whistling and Ratchet mumbling about young hormones. "Oh, shut up." She looked down at Bee and smirked. "It's quite ironic that your processor chose the main character from Sons of Anarchy."

Bumblebee looked it up before chuckling, "Did you watch the show?"

Anna blushed a little. "Maybe. I did love the show." She grabbed his hand, gently pulling so he had to walk. "Now to make sure it's working correctly."

Bumblebee followed her, frowning at how weird it was to walk in this new form. "This is so strange."

Miko chuckled, "Try being a human and turning into a 'bot."

Bumblebee looked up at Anna and frowned softly. "That must have been difficult… I'm sorry."

Anna smiled softly at him, "It's okay… It was really weird but I got used to it." She let go of him before smiling, "Ready to go now?"

Bee smiled nervously at her, "Yeah… I'm just nervous."

Anna smiled at him, kissing him softly. "Don't be. He'll be so happy that you're back that he'll forgive you."

Bumblebee blushed as he dropped his holoform, rubbing his lips. "Anything you say."

{X}

Anna stood beside Bee, holding his hand gently as she looked through the lines of soldiers. She looked back down at Bee when she felt him squeeze her hand. Bumblebee was biting at his lip, looking around for Raf. He was tense, looking like was ready to bolt. Anna squeezed his hand, looking into his eyes. "Bee, it's going to be okay."

Bumblebee looked up at her and smiled softly, relaxing slightly. "Sorry. I'm nervous."

Anna smiled and rubbed her thumb over his hand. "You'll be okay." She turned to the ceremony as the soldiers marched into formations. She spotted a familiar face in the middle of a line, grinning. She whispered softly to Bee, pointing Rafael out to him.

Bee raised his eyebrows when he found Rafael. He couldn't imagine how the little Raf he knew turned into this man. Rafael was muscular, lost all his baby fat and was just under Anna's height. He then felt his spark thrumming sadly in his chest as he recalled their sad goodbye. He just hoped Raf would still understand him just as well.

Anna and Bee watched the ceremony quietly. Anna was trying to pay attention to Raf and to figure out how he did. Bumblebee was paying attention to Raf but also imagining Anna being in her brother's place. Anna would have had a worse time than Raf.

Anna had just lost her sparkmate after becoming so close, hearing nothing from Bumblebee. She would have known he graduated to warrior class, without her there and on his home planet. She would have been trying to move forward with her life, without Bee. Basic training isn't taken lightly for humans and he knew she would have still struggled even with the AllSpark's energy. And then on her graduation date only her human friends and family were there, none of the 'bots. None of her new family that she had tried her best to save, who she bled for on multiple occasions, the family she almost died for.

Bumblebee picked up Anna's hand, kissing the back of it as he looked up at her. He gently reached out to her spark, trying to let her feel how much he loved her. They weren't bonded and he wasn't trying to. However, they were close enough they could pick up things from the other, including emotions.

Anna felt her spark thrumming violently in her chest, almost wanting to fall to her knees. She leaned against him, closing her eyes as she enjoyed the feeling. She could feel the force of his love for her, feeling it through her whole body. She squeezed his hand tightly, sighing. "I love you too, Bee." Her attention was taken from Bumblebee back to Raf when she heard him being awarded the basic rifle marksmanship and the distinguished honor graduate award. Anna grinned to herself, squeezing Bee's hand again.

Bumblebee felt a grin form on his face when he realized Raf got two of the awards than Anna had received upon her graduation. He was so proud of them both that he wanted to dance and then bear hug them both.

Rafael smiled when his mother hugged him, hugging her back gently. "I've missed you too, mom."

Martina gushed over her youngest child, smoothing his uniform out and his hair. "I've missed you too, Rafael!" She leaned back and smiled, "You remind me so much of Anna, Raf…"

Rafael's smile twisted a little, the image of how sad Anna had seemed before he left. He had realized she was becoming depressed. She didn't seem to have much of a drive anymore, which is far from the Anna he knew. The Anna who would have fought Unicron herself to help her family. "Is she here?"

Ian patted his son on the shoulder, "She said she would, you never know with her job." They knew she worked for the government but that was it. "Your siblings wish they could have come as well but they're all busy."

Raf smiled sadly and nodded, "I know." He then paused when he heard his name being called. He turned and saw his sister's holoform walking towards them. "Anna!"

Anna saluted her brother, waiting for him to return the gesture before hugging him tightly. "Raf!" She grinned down at him, "I'm so proud of you!"

Raf smiled up at her happily, "I'm really glad you came."

Anna smiled and ruffled his short hair, "Of course I wouldn't miss it." Anna nudged the strange male forward, talking with their parents to distract them.

Rafael frowned lightly at the man who seemed to with his sister. Anna might have moved on from Bee, which he didn't know how he felt about. "Hello. I'm Rafael E-"

The man cut him off, smiling. "I know who you are Raf." He gestured for him to follow him, "Will you follow me?"

Rafael slowly followed the man, feeling comfortable with him somehow which was weird. He was sure he never seen him before, even though he looked a lot like a famous actor. He stopped when the man stood by a yellow sports car, which looked like Bee's old vehicle mode. "Your car? It's very nice…" He was really confused, why would Anna's boyfriend want to show off his car so bad?

The man got in the car, motioning for Rafael to do so as well. "More than that."

Rafael got in the car, looking everything over. He then looked closer at the Autobot symbol on the steering wheel. "What?" He looked over just in time to see the holoform disappear. "Whoa!"

Bumblebee resorted to using his binary code language he had used before, feeling like it would help Raf figure it out. 'I'm back, Raf, I'm back with my family.'

Rafael gaped at the stereo, immediately knowing which Autobot he was talking to. "Bumblebee…"

"Yeah! You're grown so much, Raf! I'm so proud of you, you've turned into a wonderful young man."

Raf smacked his dashboard, smirking when Bee cried out. "That's for leaving for five years!" He then leaned forward and rubbed the spot, "But I'm so glad you're back I can't stay mad."

Bumblebee activated his holoform again, smiling at Rafael. "I'm glad I'm back too, Raf. I've missed you."

Rafael hugged him tightly, smiling brightly. "I've missed you too, Bee…" He leaned back, smirking at him. "How pissed was Anna?"

Bumblebee chuckled nervously, "Livid. I thought she was going to kill me."

Rafael laughed softly, pushing his glasses back up. "I don't blame her, but that's in the past." He turned to him more, grinning. "So, tell me everything! We have a lot to catch up on."

Bumblebee grinned, happily catching up with Rafael, glad to have his best friend back.

{X}

Anna and Bee cheered loudly for Rafael when they could for his graduation ceremony the next day, quiet and respectful at other parts. They quickly filed out, waiting by their vehicle modes for him. Bumblebee was leaning against his bumper, Anna leaning against his side and his bumper. "So, is he going to come work for Unit E as well?"

Anna nodded her head, watching families meeting and leaving. "Yeah, Miko was going to be here to help him transition but she got called out on a case last minute. When she gets back she'll start training him, though he won't need much."

Bumblebee smiled happily, "So we'll be seeing a lot more of him."

Anna chuckled as she looked down at her mate, "His best friend is back, of course not." She leaned over, kissing his cheek. "I'll love having him close again, both of you."

Bumblebee smiled at her, agreeing before he saw Rafael approaching them, bag over his shoulder. "Ready to go?"

Rafael grinned before motioning to them both. "Uh…"

Anna laughed, "You can ride back with Bee, Raf. It's okay."

Rafael smiled and hugged his sister, kissing her cheek. "Thank you, sis." He quickly got into the car, talking to Bumblebee excitedly.

Anna smiled and watched them drive off, sighing happily. Her baby brother and her mate were with her again, she was content.
