Bumblebee's POV

The next morning was pretty good. We all did our daily routines and what not. That afternoon was a bit different though... I was busy working on something in my office when someone entered. Actually, it was two someones. I look up to see who it is and immediately wish I hadn't. "I thought I told you I never wanted to see you again." I say a bit harshly. I then went back to my work. I did expect a response, but not one quite like what they said. "Listen, we understand you're mad at us. The way we worded our explanation yesterday wasn't quite what we'd meant to say. We realized how upset you were so we thought we'd get you something." I heard the femme explain. I look up, slightly interested to see how much effort they'd put into this so called "gift". The mech pulls out a little device and hands it to me. I examine it. "What is it?" I say dryly. Look, just because I'm interested in knowing what it is, doesn't mean I have to express that emotion through my voice. "Well," starts the mech who I still don't know the name of because they're both stupid, "it's a device that will allow you to communicate with your friend, Rafael. We know he was someone you cared a lot about so we thought you might want to be able to speak with him." He finishes. I look up at them and then back at the device. They do realize I already have means of communicating with Raf, right? "Um, thanks..." I say. I go to continue with my work when they say one more thing. "By the way, your medic, Ratchet, has allowed us to live here with you guys for a while." The femme says excitedly. I stop what I'm doing and snap my helm up. "What...?" I say absolutely dumbfounded that Ratchet of all boys would do that. "Yes, we get to live with you now and do things with you so that you'll let us back into your life!" The mech exclaims. Okay, I feel like I might puke. "Um, just saying but, I don't even know your names yet and you want to live with me?" I question, maybe a bit too harshly. Look, I can feel that they love me and really do want to be with me again but I'm just too mad at them, and I'm also kind of worried that if I accept them, they'll just hurt me again. They both look at each other as if they were stupid (which they are) and then back at me. "How could we be so silly we completely forgot to properly introduce ourselves yesterday. We were just so excited!" I give them a look to say to just continue, and they introduce themselves. "Well, my name is Honeybee and this is Stinger." The femme says. Honeybee and Stinger? Well, I understand where my name comes from... "Cool." I say. They are smiling like crazy here and I'm surprised I haven't raged at them again. "Well, we won't keep you, you seem to have a lot of work on your hands." Honeybee says as they both leave my office. And it was at that moment that I processed what had just happened. And I proceeded to slam my helm against my desk. Again. This is going to be a very long week...

Arcee's POV

I walk over to Bee's office to get him. We all have a meeting with the leader of the high council of Kaon today because Cybertron has decided to celebrate the Autobots and they want to host an "Autobot" day to honour us all. I haven't seen him since patrol this morning. I wonder what he's doing. I walk in to find him drinking an energon cube while working on something. He seems a little distracted from his work though because he doesn't even notice me walk in. "Uh, Bee? What are you doing?" I ask. He barely looks up from what he's doing when he responds, "I'm working." He says. I roll my optics. "I can see that doofus. I mean, what are you working on that's so intense you can't even look up at me and say hi?" I say to him. He looks up at me. "Hi." He says. "Are you satisfied now?" He smirks slightly. I just groan. Obviously something is wrong. I guess I should ask. "Is everything alright?" I ask. That's when I notice something in his servos. "I'm fine." He says. "No you're not." I retort. "What's that you're holding?" He looks up at me and sighs. "A communicator thing." He responds. I nod. "Where did you get it?" I ask but, instead of responding to that question he said something else. "They came here. They came here and told me that they're going to live here! They thought that by bringing me some silly little communicator thing and that by telling me they'd live here I would suddenly love them again!" He growls. I see pain and anger flash through his optics. "They don't know what they've done to me though. They're stupid and they just don't understand that I'm not ready to be near them yet..." He trails off. I sigh. They won't give up, will they? I should get his mind off of this, we have an important meeting to go to. He can't be distracted. "Hey Bee? Put it down, okay? Besides, we need to go now. We have that meeting, remember?" I say to him. He nods and puts the communicator down. He stands up and we both exit the room. As we walk down the hallway I kiss his cheek and I can see he lightens up a bit at that. We enter the meeting room and  sit down with everyone else. Just then the leader of the high council of Kaon enters the room and sits down. He begins talking and sharing his ideas. He wants to make sure that they don't accidentally do something to offend any of us. He even asks us if there's anything particular that we wanted to happen. The only boy who spoke up at that one would, of course, be destiny's child. *Cough* Smokescreen *Cough*. The meeting seemed to go well and when it was over I decided that Bee and I needed to do something. I need to get his mind off of things. So we found a restaurant (yes, Cybertron has restaurants and they serve energon foods) and we hung out for the rest of the evening. I could tell that Bee was feeling better do we went back to base. Luckily that night, I didn't sense Bee wake up. That's a first in a long time. At least 5 stellar cycles. Maybe this next week won't be so bad after all?
