Family

Chapter 4

"mind if... I join you?" Burnbee ask. "th-the stars look a lot better from here." Burnbee adds.

"go a head." Prowl said. Bumblebee smiled, though he knew Prowl was still a bit uneasy about his sister. she smiled and sat by Jazz.

"hey Prowl?" Bumblebee ask.

"yes?" Prowl replied.

"what constellations do you see?" Bumblebee ask. Prowl pointed immediately, as if he'd been waiting for the question.

"Sagittarius." Prowl replied. he pointed to another. "Scutum." Prowl said.

"anymore?" Bumblebee ask.

"the little dipper." Prowl added. "thats all, but I scanned over the city. all thats in front of us is the little dipper." Prowl said. Bumblebee nodded, cuddling to his side. "I won't carry you down again. don't fall asleep on me Bumblebee." Prowl warns. Bumblebee giggled softly, and hugged his side.

"yes you would." Bumblebee smirked.

"nope, I'll make you stay up here." Prowl said. Bumblebee held back a giggle knowing it was a lie.

"so how long are you guys staying?" Bumblebee ask.

"well I thought it was a medical emergency, so I told Magnus we'd be back in a week or so." Jazz shrugged. Bumblebee nodded.

"yeah stay out of the medbay." Burnbee warned. "its getting weird in there." Burnbee added.

"I try to avoid it anyway, unless I'm pranking Ratchet." Bumblebee shrugs.

"avoid it until we leave. trust me. you do not wanna walk in on what I walked in on." Burnbee said.

"ah, gross. it would have been gross before but now knowing we're related makes it disgusting!" Bumblebee said. Prowl snickered softly while Jazz openly laughed at the siblings.

"hey whats that?" Jazz asks watching a streak across the sky.

"humans call it a shooting star." Prowl said.

"you're supposed to make a wish on it but there's not really a point to it, it doesn't actually do anything." Bumblebee shrugged.

"if it doesn't do anything why do humans do it?" Burnbee ask.

"hope." Prowl replied. "the belief that if they hope and wish and want hard enough, it'll happen, but they're wrong. you have to actually do something about it. hoping and wishing do nothing. I speak from experience." Prowl added. Bumblebee cuddled to his side.

"sooo hey lil Bee?" Jazz ask.

"yeah?" Bumblebee ask.

"why ain't'cha off pullin' pranks with your sister?" Jazz ask.

"don't feel like it." Bumblebee replied. Prowl looked down at him.

"you don't feel like pranking someone?" Prowl ask curiously.

Bumblebee, are you alright?

Prowl ask over their bond.

my tanks have been churning for a few days.

"I ran out of stuff to do pranks with." Bumblebee shrugged, but Jazz knew the pause meant they were talking through their bond.

you're seeing Ratchet later.

Bumblebee didn't respond just cuddled to Prowl. the four sat quietly on the roof until Jazz and Burnbee decided to retire for the night. Prowl held Bumblebee tightly, not willing to move him before the beetle wanted to be moved.
