bumblebee's journey (book 1)

bumblebees pov: 

its been two days since the..... incident. I walked around the camp aimlessly looking for something to do. I wasn't aloud out side for obvious reasons but it still sucked being in here. some of the autobots had been called out to war highfire included. he said it was a small battle and I shouldn't be worried but I still think back to the dreaded day when stormchaser said that. it was about noon when they came back. it smelled normal leaking energon the smell of smoke and flaming scrap piles but nothing serious. the day here was hot and dry windy to. highfire walks though the gate next to rainshot and cascade. I wave them over. its been boring all day from being cooped up in camp. "B-127 its good to see you didn't try and escape when I was gone" he really wasn't going to let that down. "I was thinking about it" I reply back.

the maters of my failed escapes had become a joking topic. Im still going to try and get out of here that's true at least. plus I'm definitely not going to tell highfire about it after he snitched on me last time. "so highfire fall off any benches out there" his incident had also become a joke. "oh can it will ya your never going to let that down are you" he says crossing his arms and pouting but his laughter tells me he's not really mad. I chuckle and we walk back to the main area where bots go to hang out. I sit down on one of the benches and the others sit around in a circle while a few other bots joined. shocksplit and more. "what are your war stories this time" rain shot says to the rest of the group.

I normally keep quiet when the group gets big I don't know these bots very well. "I chucked a grenade right into the engine chamber of one of the cons" a bot named wheeljack said he was part of the wreckers only carried one grenade at a time and rarely missed.  he was a skilled swords men and had thought some of the others some moves. "I skewered two cons at once" shocksplit said confidently. "I tricked on of the cons to let me past them" highfire added. "and how do we know you aren't lying to us right now then CON" rainshot said questioning him in a playfully tone she didn't really mean it. "I don't know can you" he said jumping at rain shot wo dogged out of the way and let highfire hit cascade insted. 

"oh I see how its going to be" cascade retorted and a playful fight was engaged. I stepped back as they rolled to me. "hey watch it" I yell as the run in another direction. cascade chasing highfire after he snagged his gun. we sit back down and continue to talk. "so B-127 do anything special while we we away" shocksplit questions me. he hadn't been here when I tried to escape or when I almost blew highfires helm off. someone else is going to tell him about that. "Oh you know just get dragged back to camp again" I say glaring at the cargo plane as he sat down with us. "hey I was just doing my job" he says moking me "yep man handling bots is your jod" I say snarkily back. "you would have just run again" I open my mouth to say something then close it and sit back down. he's right I geta few laughs from the rest of the group. 

They continue with their conversation and cascade and highfire sit back down. I eventually get bored and get up to go find something to do. "Autobots camp refugees I have a announcement" I hear optimus voice ring out over the chattering crowd. We quickly gather round an wait for him to continue. "with the war raging on I habe decided that we need a training camp nothing serious just a fiscal battle tactics it is not mandatory but highly suggested" he finishes and the chattering continues. I don't give much though to it its mainly for bots who want to fight in the war not me. I walk to the entrance of the sleeping hall to get some peace and quiet from the crowd. I feel a large severo placed on my shoulder to stop me. I turn around to see Optimus prime looking down at me. I'm slightly stunned at first but quickly reply. "Yes optimus prime" I say hoping I was formal enough.

He smiled at me with a look of hope in his optics. Why? "B-127 I would like to to train with us even tough you might not be a autobot I see great potential" I'm even more shocked the optimus prime personally asked me to train with him. "Yes sir but why" I question. He just smiles and walks away. Why would he want me of all bots. He couldn't have known that my sire was the one who trained even the seasoned autobots. He was a autobot and my carrier was a neutral I followed in her path. my sire had tough me all of the moves I know perks of having a autobot sire I guess. He couldn't have known about them could he.
