Transformers Imagines

A New Chapter (Bumblebee)

Small flames curled around us. Buildings crumbled and fell around us. My face felt clogged with dirt, sweat and grime from the war. Lifeless bodies of the Decepticon's lay scattered around us. I blinked, trying to take it all in. The reality of what I had just endured finally dawning on me. I just went through a war. I could have died. But I didn't. Now that I had the time to look back and reflect on the recent events, I did. One thing stuck out at me; Bumblebee had been beside me every step of the way. Quite literally, he was right beside me if not putting himself between myself and the danger. Realizing that only made my appreciation for him grow.

"(Y/N)." Sam called, bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah?" I asked, turning and looking at him. I wrapped my arms around myself, not sure if I was trying to keep myself together or hold in the hysteria.

"Are you alright?" He asked, wrapping an arm around Mikaela. I shrugged, then thought better of it. Standing there surrounded by a bunch of alien robots, I wasn't hurt. I was rescued and in safe hands and care. Where I went from here, I didn't know. A couple of weeks ago I had been living a normal life, but now... Now I wasn't sure.

"I could be worse. This ironically isn't the worst situation that I've been in." I chuckled. Sam smiled a bit.

"How could it be any worse? You were just abducted by an evil alien race, rescued by the better half of said race, and just witnessed a blood war."

"Yeah, but how could it be any better?" I questioned him. "The first sixteen years of my life were as normal as any life could be. I had two parents that loved me, and a younger brother. The last year of my life may have been a huge turn of events for me. But you know what? It gave me a sense of adventure and made me realize what I've been missing in my life. I may have had a family, but it wasn't a family like this one. That had small petty arguments and fights. Where everyday is an adventure. Yeah I miss my mom and dad and Jackson, but I've never felt more alive at the same time. And I'll move on from the car one day and get another one, so it's no big deal there." I smiled, turning and looking at all of the Bot's standing around us.

Bumblebee knelt down and stretched his hand out to me, to which I extended my arm out to him and brushed my fingertips over the warmth of his scrapped digits. Looking to his face, had he a mouth he would have been smiling and had he the tears, he would have been crying. I gave him my warmest and most sincere and love filled smile.

"I'm still surprised you haven't asked one question though." Sam broke Bee and I out of our gaze. I turned and looked at Sam frowning.

"What do you mean?" Behind me, Bee began to lean towards the ground before transforming back into his car mode and carefully creeping up behind me so I could lean on his hood. I patted the warmth of the hood and looked back to Sam.

"Where do we go from here?" He cocked an eyebrow and spread his arms out as if it was the most obvious answer in the world. I rolled my eyes.

"Obviously there's only one choice here." I paused for affect and looked to Sam. "You and Mikaela graduate from High School. You go off to college and live your life in a long distance relationship with Mikaela, and I stay here helping to keep the Autobots out of the public eye as I finish my own High school career." I folded my arms across my chest. "As well as helping the Bot's kick Decepticon ass as needed." Sam and Mikaela laughed. Captain Lennox came up behind me with his team, smiling with a devious gleam in his eye.

"Not so fast there young lady. Me being the father I am and a part of the government, can't continue to allow you to run from authority. You're going to stay with us at the base until you finish High school, since it's only a few miles from your school anyways. You can even have one of the Autobots take you to school every morning." He added. I laughed and smiled. Then a thought occurred to me.
