{Chapter Under Edition} ~Dream Catcher  

I step back.

"Yes you did" he says. I shake slowly my head.

"Bee..." I say nervously. I quickly look at Optimus and then back at Daniel, he's close to me now.

"Yes you did, when I wanted to talk with you..." he's going to grab my hand but I quickly move to my left side and try to enter to the car but suddenly he grabs my burned arm.

"Agh..." His arms start becoming of metal! He wildly pulls me back. "Bumblebee!"

He instantly transforms and 'Daniel' also transforms, from his back, four metal wings appear and all the 'skin' is replaced with dark metal. I look at him and his optics are bright red. I try to free my arm from his claws, but that only makes him tighter his grip. I moan loudly as Bumblebee starts shooting at the con, but he manages to evade them. Optimus also shoots at it and it hits one of it's wings, he chirps and hisses and starts flying! And why not? He picks me up through my arm.

I scream as other shoots pass near me. And finally one crosses the Decepticon right through the chest. Wait... Damn it! I'm like... many meters above the ground.

He let's my arm go and I start falling. I scream as I increase speed. Then, Bee jumps, takes me, holds me against his chest and he lands heavily on the ground. I shakily look up and he looks back at me. I lay my head on his hand. I look at my arm to see that is bleeding a little and the bandage is broken. Perfect. (Note the sarcasm).

My best friend was a freaking Decepticon that tried to kidnap me. As simple as that...

)././.(

"Auch!"

"Stop moving!"

"Sorry, it hurts..." I reply as Ratchet checks my arm.. again. My forearm is in simple words: bad.

We took the Daniel-con with us to an abandoned little market. Why? first, we couldn't leave it there and because I asked them to. Don't tell me crazy.

"So that was your friend?" Jazz asks, pointing at the dead con.

"I've seen him mad and all and I'm pretty sure that's not Daniel"

"Weird" Hide says. I look at him and he chuckles.

"That's what the investigation said, about getting transformed into humans... but, I'm sure there's a real Daniel, he couldn't be a Decepticon since we were children.... right?" I say.

"If he wasn't a Decepticon all this time, he's probably dead by now..." Ratchet says. Well, that helps so much.

I look down.

"But... maybe he's not" I say, even though he can be a fool sometimes, he's my friend. "you said 'probably', not thar he's surely dead... Anyways, did the things I bought survived?" I ask Bee. He nods and hands me the bags.

I look at it's inside and smile.

"Bee" I say. "You'll be my lab rat" he steps back, I roll my eyes and laugh. "I won't hurt you, come" I walk to a little table and place everything on it.

"Okay... I hope you are not ticklish" I say putting my hands in my hips. He wides his optics, I just laugh. "I'm kidding, come here"

He walks and sits at my side.

"And hey, thanks for catching me" I say, elbowing him softly. (Referring to the Daniel-con). He bows and I giggle.

"That's why I'm here" he says. I smile and turn to the table again.

I start working on the things in front me as Bee watches.

"Caelyn" I turn at the call of Optimus. "We'll check the surroundings, stay here with Bumblebee, we'll be back" he says and transforms, he starts to drive away and the others follow him.

"I guess it's just you and me Blondie" I say. "Now no one will here your screams..."

He steps back. I laugh.

"Just kidding again, it's funny to see you like that" I say mockingly. I continue working for some minutes. "Okay, I'll need to check your radio" I say. He first leans his head to one side but then nods. I stand on his leg. Where is the radio? I place one hand on his... Umm... Ribs? Where the human ribs should be to take balance for looking for the radio, he shakes. I take away my hand and look at him. Then I smile. I place it again and he shakes again.

"Oh..." I say evilly. "So you are ticklish..." I smile and tickle his ribs. He shakes more and he makes that sound like a laugh. I laugh too even though I'm not having tickles. "I wonder if it's the same... On the other side!" I tickle him again and he tries to push me but I see his hand coming and jump back before he can take me. "Ha ha!"

He tries again to catch me but I run behind him and tickle him again. He tries to take me again but because I'm behind him he falls back. I move quickly at his side, I start running but I trip with his arm and fall on his chest. I can't stop laughing.

"You're not very flexible, are you?" I say. I stand and find him looking at me. I smile and look at him directly to his optics. "Now I know where you have tickles" I say, squinting. He laughs again and lays his head back. "Stand up you lazy lab rat!" I say playfully. "No time for sleeping! Stand up!"

He sits down and looks at me mockingly.

"Just transform to your car form, it will be easier" I say, waving my hand.

He transforms. I grab the things of the table and get inside him. I work with the radio and with my stuff as I start talking with Bee.

"Blondie, you don't really know that much about me, I mean, general things do you?" I say. He makes that sound, he doesn't understand my question. "Let's start again, I once made an activity with Daniel, it's basically about questions, just to know each other better" I say. "I'll talk about me and then you'll tell me about you" I say. "Okay... Like, what is my favourite animal....? Umm... Probably eagles"

He makes the sound again, now understanding.

"I remember my grandmother used to have one, I never know where did she get it...." I stare at the ground, thinking. "Anyways, favourite colour... I think blue." The engine roars a little. "But relax, I'm starting to like yellow..." I say laughing a little. "Favourite food... Umm... I think Chinese food..."

And as I keep working I talk with him for what seems hours but actually are only some minutes.

"Done" I say as I get out of Bee. "I hope this works"

The others start returning and transform.

"Everything seems to be good... For now" Jazz says. "In what were you working?" He asks as he kneels in front of me.

"Oh, yes!" I start taking what I've been doing, it's a little thing. Really little thing. I press a tiny button. "I've been thinking... That you can communicate with each other but... I really can't so.." I place the thing in my ear. "Watch this"

I look at Ironhide that is turned around, looking at the highway.

"Hey Hide!" I say lowly. He quickly turns.

"What was that?"

"It was me Soft guy!" I say.

"Ha! Soft guy, I liked that one" Jazz says as he bumps his fist with mine. Ironhide rolls his optics.

"Now, I can communicate with you too, and you can with me" I say.

"That will be useful" Ratchet says. I smile, glad that my skills are useful.

"Caelyn, do you think you can continue with the Investigation?" Optimus asks.

"Already there"
