TRANSFORMERS: Bumblebee's Boy

CLOSURE

A/N: So I know last chapter was supposed to end the Tranquility arc. But I decided that there was still some stuff to wrap up and bring closure to. So this is technically "the end" of that arc.

...

CHAPTER 31
Closure

"I'm gonna miss having you around again, man."

"Yeah, me too." Trevor muttered, as he pulled away from Sam's hug.

They were on the porch of the Witwicky home, saying their thank you's and goodbyes. It was going to be hard leaving Tranquility again, but he knew he had to. Just as he had missed his friends in Tranquility, he missed his friends and family at Diego Garcia. And for that matter, though they could have easily spared more time, he also needed to do one last thing before he left. The very last thing that he had on his list, and that he avoided all things considered. He had to go back to his father's garage, and see how things were going.

He sighed slightly, and looked at Sam. "Look man, it'll probably be a while before I come back," Trevor told him quietly. "So promise me, y'know, that we'll keep staying in touch," He explained. "I miss hanging out like this, and I think-."

"Of course," Sam patted him on the back. "Dude, you're coming to my graduation. And plus, I would never just cut you out like that. Who else am I going to come to when," He leaned in. "They're driving me crazy," He pointed over at his parents as he whispered quietly. "But yeah, man, we're going to stay in touch." He then added, his eyes turning towards Bumblebee. "I'm glad you're happy man... And that you have a family that loves you as much as they did."

Trevor smiled as he looked over at Bumblebee too. He was definitely just as glad, especially after this week. Who knew what might have happened if he was in foster care in Tranquility when Michael had shown up. "Yeah, Dad and the others are pretty awesome," Sam nodded his head at Trevor's words as the boy moved to take a pair of hugs from Judy and Ron. "Thanks for letting us come, guys. I really enjoyed seeing you again."

"Hey, our doors are always open for you, Trev," Ron ran a hand on the boy's head, rubbing his hair slightly. "We love you, kiddo. We may not be your family, but you know that, right?" Trevor nodded his head. "Good, now come back and visit when you can."

Judy threw her arms around him, and broke into a fit of tears. A sight which Trevor could feel Bumblebee sadden at, but sent reassurance through the bond. He knew the Witwicky's loved him like a son themselves, but he was his son now. And he was happy for that, something he knew Bumblebee needed reassurance about. "You need to call more!" Judy told him. "It feels so weird here without you that seeing you leave is making me cry. And you aren't even my baby mister!" She turned to Bumblebee. "And you'd better keep taking care of him. I don't want to hear you're mistreating him."

"Mrs. Witwicky," Trevor pulled her into a hug. "We're going to be fine, I promise to call more."

"And he's in great hands," Bumblebee placed an arm around his shoulder as Trevor finally pulled away. "After all, he's got an awesome dad."

"And a modest one," Trevor chuckled.

Judy only nodded her head, she was clearly worried, but he knew she'd be okay. He told himself that as they finally descended the steps to the Witwicky home, and Trevor climbed into Bumblebee's passengers seat. He waved slowly as they pulled out of the driveway, the family waving as well. And before Trevor knew it, they were off, with a pair of Corvette's tailing them. "We'll be back before you know it," Bumblebee assured him. "So do you still want to visit the old garage or...?"

"Yeah," Trevor nodded. "I need to see it, and make sure Nick's doing good. I mean, I know he is... Because he was my dad's best friend," He explained. "But, just... I need to make sure it's still there and all."
