A.... Pirate

Chapter 9

You sighed as you pulled to a stop in front of the base. You transformed and stretched your arms you adjusted your hat slightly and looked at Prowl.

"I look like a gem don't I? I don't remind ye o' an organic whose been drug o'er concrete then dumped in acid now do I?" You fretted softly stroking the feather on your hat

"(Y/n), you look fine. Just give Optimus the Allspark fragment and you'll be fine." He placed a reassuring servo on your shoulder, "We've all missed you."

You gave him a soft smile and followed him into the building. It was surprisingly quiet as you followed Prowl towards the main room. He paused at the entrance gen you heard Primes voice.

"Ah, Prowl you're back, did you find the fragment?" He asked

Prowl nodded and looked over to you, "And something a little more important."

"And what would that be?" He asked

"Now Prime, ye haven't forgotten about th' loyal pirate on yer crew now 'ave ya?" You chuckled stepping through the doorway into view, "That be if ye'll 'ave me?"

He offered you a smile, "You're always a welcome source of strength and energy (y/n)."

You looked down at the fragment in your palm, "Yeah... I 'ave this pretty 'n ye prolly should 'ave it."

"That would be best." Your leader said extending his servo to you

You placed the glowing blue fragment into his servo and watched as the glow was smothered by his digits wrapping around it. You looked up at him and he couldn't help a smile.

"Welcome back. We've missed you." You smiled at this

"I've missed th' lot o' ya too ya salty sea bags." You chuckled bashfully, "Sorry I left without word... I... I wasn't in starb'rd processin' unit at th' time. 'twas about as selfish as a crew seven Jewel-Stealer."

"It's alright (y/n), I'm glad you're alright." He paused, "And the Crustulians only go up to class three."

You cast him a grin, " Th' tales I could tell ye Prime. "

"So I've reintroduced meself t' Bulkhead 'n Ratchet, but where's me wee first-mate?" You asked mainly to yourself, but Prowl answered.

"I assume your talking about Bumblebee." Prowl spoke earning a nod from you, "He might be in his berthroom doing who knows what, outside racing, or playing video games.."

You heard an angered shout of your young friend a few doors ahead and you grinned at Prowl.

"I be gonna assume 'tis th' ladder." You chuckled walking towards the door

You watched your small yellow friend throw his digits on the buttons and furiously grip the controller with the others. There was a victory sound admitted from the TV and the small yellow bot jumped up with a cheer.

You rushed up and joined in laughing and shouting Bumblebee not even registering it was you during this whole duration of celebration over a video game victory. Bumblebee calmed down with a few deep vents and wiped a tear.

"I finally did it (y/n)! I finally beat that boss!" Bumblebee chuckled turning away

He froze suddenly comprehending your arrival as you allowed your normal sideways grin to appear. He whirled around back to face you his optics wide.

"(Y/N)!" He grabbed your faceplate and squished it slightly, "ARE YOU ACTUALLY HERE!? YOURE NOT JUST A FIGMENT OF MY IMAGINATION!?"

You nodded in reply grinning as best you could.

"WE NEED TO GO RACE RIGHT NOW!!!" He yelled dragging you off

After several hours of racing and Bumblebee begrudgingly taking on the title of seconded fastest thing on wheels, which you told him he was still the fastest thing on four wheels which brightened his mood right up. You walked back into the base being mindful of the new organic resident in your dorm. You cocked a stabilizer up on the now padded berth, ooo fancy.

Sari was drilling you with questions that you were half paying attention too. She was getting to really personal totally cliché "slumber party questions" which some how you were answering without paying attention.

"Do you have a crush on anyone?" She asked excitedly leaning forward

"Yes." You bluntly answered

"Who then?"

"Prowler." She immediately squealed and you had to pause to think of what you just said

The little fragger took advantage of your clouded state of processer and found out something about you and Prowl. Before you could even open your intake she spoke.

"YOU SHOULD TOTALLY TELL HIM!"

"Scrap.."
