.:Arcee, Bumblebee is Alive!:. Ratchet comms.

No it can't be. No one can survive something like that.

"I'll meet you back at base." I say.

I drove fast to the base, from the side it'd look like a blur of blue and pink. I kept driving, and found my way to the missile silo. This better not be a prank,

When I drove inside, and transformed, I saw that the children were still here.

"Aren't you three supposed to be home?" I ask.

"Well, we would've. But someone wanted to see you." Miko said.

"Fine." Was all I said before going to find Bulkhead.

"Bulkhead, what is Ratchet talking about. Bumblebee surviving that. You and I both know someone can't survive that shot, and if they do, they're gonna die in like a breem!" I say with sadness.

"Arcee, for one, Ratchet is not lying. And two maybe you should go to the medbay and find out exactly what Ratchet means?" Bulkhead says.

"Alright fine, I'll go. But this better not be a trick." I grumble under my breath.

Bulkhead just smiles, and I turn around and head to the medbay.

"Ratchet, what was all that abo-" I stopped myself from talking, when I saw who I was talking too.

Bumblebee.

"B-Bee, you're alive!?" I gasp.

<Sure am, 'Cee.> He beeps.

"But, how? You know what let's save that for later." I say quickly before lunging forward and embrace him in a hug. 

He was surprised at first, but then hugged me back.

"I thought I lost you." I whisper quietly enough for Bee to hear.

"I'll, leave you two alone, but if you want to thank anyone, thank the relic, Arcee. Without it we wouldn't have our scout." Ratchet said calmly before exiting the medbay.

"Oops." I heard, the voice sounded like Bulkhead's

"BULKHEAD I NEEDED THAT!" I heard Ratchet yell, so much for being calm.

<You wanna go some place quieter?> Bee asks.

"Definitely." I say releasing him from our embrace.

TIME SKIP/ FOREST (Bumblebee's P.O.V.)

When we got to the forest, we transformed back into our bot forms, and found two large rocks to sit on.

"So, how was it like spying on the Nemesis?" Arcee asks.

<Terrible, there were things I saw Arcee that I wished I hadn't.> I say thinking back to the dead bodies of Cliff, and Tailgate.

"I'm so sorry, Bee. I-" Arcee started to say

<Don't worry 'Cee, I've seen a lot of things. And lost many old friends, you don't have to worry about me.> I beep quietly.

"Well, that's something we both have in common. We've both lost friends." Arcee says sadly.

While we continued our conversation, we heard another bot. 

Knockout.

"UUGGHHH! Breakdown, this forest is ruining my finish!" Knockout whines.

"Knockout, there's two autobots in here. And we need them." Breakdown replies.

"Is my finish really worth this risk." Knockout mumbles under his breath.

"Come on, Bee. We can take 'em!" Arcee exclaims.

<Then let's do it.> I reply.

When the two decepticons turned the corner, we went into our battle stance.

"There they are!" Breakdown says.

"Finally!" Knockout sighs, exasperated.

"I'll take Knockout, and you take Breakdown." Arcee says seriously.

<No problem.> I smirk.

She smiles at me before lunging at Knockout, blasters out, shooting at him whenever she could. While I took on Breakdown, I blasted him, then kick his chassis as hard as I could. But soon he grabbed me by the arm, and raised me above his head, so I press down my blaster at his chest, then blast. He staggers back in surprise,

.:Ratchet, we need a bridge!:. Arcee comms. 

Soon a green and blue portal appeared behind us, as Arcee blasted Knockout one more time before running into the bridge, and I kept shooting at the two bots before running into the bridge as well.

AUTOBOT BASE /Optimus P.O.V/

When Arcee, and Bumblebee arrived from their 'chat' they went into Bumblebee's berthroom to talk some more.

I look over to see Bulkhead talking with the humans, and Ratchet working on one of his little 'side projects' as he called them.

"Hey, Prime?" Bulkhead asks.

I turn around to look at him, and gestured for him to continue.

"You remember when Nightbird said 'The Fallen can't be kept waiting' Do you think we might have to face the Fallen at some point?" Bulkhead asks.

"Bulkhead, while Nightbird may be working for the Fallen. Until he poses a threat to Earth, or Cybertron. We cannot engage in battle, unless we know of his existence on this planet." I say seriously.

ARCEE'S P.O.V

"Hey Bee, Bulkhead told me that I've been there for you in ways I've never expected. I don't know if he was trying to make me feel better, or if it's the truth. So I want you to tell me." I ask.

<Arcee, you've always been there for me. Don't you forget it, and while you may already know, but I feel like I just need to say it.> Bumblebee whirrs.

"I think I know what you're gonna say." I smirk.

<Oh really?>

"Yes. It's that together, we are more than meets the eye."
