Poisoned (BOOK TWO OF TRANSFORMED)

Chapter 2

Bumblebee's pov

I slowly open my optics and sit up. I'm in the med bay... What happened? I put my servo to my forehelm since I've got a helmache. And that's when I notice it. I'm... HUMAN!! Not this again... My hands fly to my mouth. I can't speak... I wonder if that weird telepathy thing will work again. If not, maybe I can try learning sign language? Ugh, I don't know...

'Arcee?' I ask in my head, testing to see if it still works. She turns towards me and smiles.

"Oh good, you're awake." She says and I climb down off the medical berth to try and get closer to her. I climb up onto her berth and sit next to her.

'Do you remember what happened?' I ask her and she just shakes her head.

"No, I don't know... Bee? Did you happen to have a... dream about Megatron right before waking up?" She asks and I furrow my eye brows, I think is what they're called.

'Not that I can remember... And I usually do so... why?' I ask. She looks away for a moment.

"It's just... I had a dream about Tailgate... But I haven't had one about him in years... It was probably nothing... I'm just glad that we're both safe. The others too." She says and I nod my head.

'Yeah...' I sigh. Why do I have to be human again? Not saying that humans are bad and stuff but... I like my own body better... I hear something from behind me and see Optimus waking up. Well, this should be interesting...

"Ugh, my helm... Wait- WHAT?! WHY AM I HUMAN AGAIN?!" He yells almost immediately after waking up. Arcee tries to stifle a laugh while I just die cause he can't hear me laughing. Soon enough Arcee starts giggling a bit because it's just too hard not to. He immediately looks towards us and just glares which only makes us laugh harder.

'O-Optimus... I'm sorry it's just... Your reaction was just...' I couldn't finish thinking of the rest because I was laughing too hard. He just rolls his eyes and looks towards Bulkhead and Smokescreen.

"Well, we should probably wake them up." He grumbles and I run over to Smokescreen's berth.

'This should be fun.' I say as I go to wake him up. I gently shake him and when that doesn't work, I violently shake him until I can hear his processor rattling in his head. He still doesn't wake up so I go find a really loud airhorn. I go right next to his face and aim the airhorn right next to his ear. I press down on the button and he jumps 10 feet in the air.

"AARGH!" He screams. "I'M AWAKE!" He yells and looks at me. His eyes widen so much I think they might fall out of their sockets.

"B-Bee?" He asks and I just nod my head, smirking. He looks at himself and back at me.

"Am I human?!" He cries and I nod again, trying really hard not to laugh. He's about to start complaining when he sees the airhorn in my hand.

"Did you blast that in my ear?" He asks, sounding slightly angry. I nod with a nervous smile on my face. I make a calculation in my head, and based on his expression, I decide it's probably best for me to start running. I drop the airhorn and run for my life.

"I THINK I'M NOW HALF DEAF BECAUSE OF YOU!!" He screams and I try not to laugh. I turn a corner and aim for my quarters. As soon as I get there though, I realize the key pad is too high for me to reach and I can't get in. I can hear angry footsteps running towards me and I panic. I get a running start and push my foot against the door and jump up onto the keypad. Yes! I made it. I type in the code and the door opens. I jump through and into the room and I see Smokescreen round the corner just as my door shuts. I hear him bang on the door and I step back slightly. He doesn't know my code so even if her figures out how to get up to the key pad, I doubt he'll get in.

"I SWEAR TO PRIMUS BEE, I WILL GET YOU BACK!!" He yells and I can hear him stomp away. Ah, fun times. Suddenly, my door shoots open and Ratchet is standing there. I forgot, he knows my code... Scrap. He picks me up and places me up on one of the cross beams in the ceiling. I guess he was never hit with whatever turned us to humans. He'd better watch where he's stepping...

'Hey, come on Ratch, put me down!' I yell and he just looks up at me then back down at his work.

"Sorry but you blasted Smokescreen with that airhorn, you get to sit up in the ceiling." He says and my mouth drops down. So, this was Smokescreen's idea... Well, he doesn't know who he's messing with... Suddenly, I see him walking by so I catch his attention and spit on him. He wipes it off his face in disgust and glares at me.

"What was that for?!" He asks and I smirk.

'For putting me in the ceiling!' I counter. He looks at me, eyes wide. I hadn't actually "spoken" to him yet so you could say he was more than a little shocked.

"H-how did you...?" He trails off and I shrug.

'I dunno but it's cool.' I say and he just nods his head. He walks off slightly dazed and I smirk. Until I remember that I'm stuck up here,

'Hey Ratchet, can I come down now? I promise I'll be a good boy.' I ask and he just looks at me.

"Nope, you haven't been up there for an hour yet." He responds and my mouth hangs wide open. An HOUR?! Well, I guess I should get comfortable, since I'll be up here for a while... Smokescreen is so going to get it...
