"Smoke, where on earth are we going to play keep away?" Bumblebee demands. First, the two of them strolled around peacefully for a while until, around ten, Smokescreen broke the news that he wanted to challenge the scout to a game of Keep Away. "I mean, we can't exactly walk into an open or abandoned building and the trees in a forest wouldn't be a pleasant thing to crash -"

"Okay Bee, I think I got the idea that the last time we went to play Keep Away wasn't as expected, but this will be better!" Smokescreen interrupts the latter, "That's why I searched for a place to play the game with all my buddies who would happily join me." Making sure his bestfriend clearly heard his emphasized, 'happily'.

After about five minutes of sneaking around to Smokescreen's, 'Top Secret Playground' he finally manages to spot it and speeds towards it, still gripping onto Bee's servo.

"A cave?" Bumblebee asks his continuously happy friend.

"You have a backstory with caves?"
Smokescreen jokes, "There's light there, ya' know!"
Bumblebee sighs, "'Okay, no I don't, and but wouldn't there be cave spikes and boulders in there?"

"Bee, do you really think I would go into that very cave unprepared? Of course I know the contents inside the cave, that's why I cleared out most of the obstacles!"

"Most?"

"Some were unmovable."

"Ah, I see."

Smokescreen abruptly clapps, and starts, "Bee?"

Bee looks at his comrade in question, "Yeah Smoke?"

"...You, are going down." The rookie finishes off with a devilish smirk.

Bumblebee only smirks, one comeback in mind, "So will that smile of yours when I win the game!"


Soon the two start to play their enjoyable sport. Bumblebee transformed into his black & yellow muscle car, while Smokescreen too when into his alternative mode.

The scores are tied for a few games but the two Autobots still had fun chasing each other and earning points.

Everything is going well, until a few moments after Smoke wins a game, they both hear a large explosion coming from near the entrance to their new hideout.

"Gah! What was that?!" Smokescreen,
In a panicked tone, exclaims.

"Quickly, pull out your defenses and hide!" The panicked scout orders back to his best friend, seeing Vehicons flood their cave.

"Is it the 'cons?!"

"Yeah, Smoke, stay on guard. I'm going to try comm. the base,"

Bumblebee quietly (but also quite loudly) informs his friend, then attempts to comm. their leader while activating his mouth guard, the latter following suit.

: Base, come in, base!
Do you copy?
Smokecreen and I have an unexpected visit from the decepticons,
we will engage if necessary!
Hello? Anyone? :

Bee can hear static coming from the other end.

"No!" Bumblebee frustratedly groans,
"Something's scrambling the signal..."

"Bee, look out!"

Bee looked up to see Smokecreen charging up his blaster as he pointed it upwards, then followed the direction of the aim higher - above him - to see the seeker decipticon smiling devilishly down at him, pointing his blaster downwards at him.

Bumblebee jumps fowards from his failed hiding spot, in a desperate attempt to quickly and safely escape the doom of having a blaster pointed at your spark.

But it was already too late.

The blaster had fired.
