Optimus Prime's unusual Charge

Recap

She had been working on a landscape drawing for a little over an hour, when the bots finally emerged from their respective berthrooms. The loud thumping and the shaking ground beneath her, was certainly something she'd have to get used to. At the very least, this time she didn't almost get a heart attack with anyone sneaking up on her, like Bee did last time.

Instead, she noticed how he looked on with curiosity at what she was doing. His Antennae moving about in conjunction with how he was feeling or whatever it was he was thinking. Not unlike her own ears.

"Hey Bee!" I waved "Wanna see?"

.:"Sure!":. Bee perked up.

I put down the pencil, got up with the sketchbook, and walked closer to the railing to show Bumblebee my drawing.

"It's still a work in progress, so...what do you think so far?" I asked.

.:"It looks familiar...":. Bee squinted his optics and cocked his helm as he looked at the drawing.

"Yeah, it's the forest we were at." I rubbed my arm. "I'm still coming to grips with what happened..."

Bee's antennae's drooped. He whirred a bit worryingly. I noticed it and tried cheering him up though;

"But it's really nothing, I'm just trying to remember the positives, like; it's a very beautiful forest!" I tried explaining. "Like, have you ever noticed how many different shades of the same color can be found in there?"

Bee shook his head. .:"No.":.

"So many different shades of green!" I showed him a wide gesture with my arms. "But, I can't show you that now, cause I don't have coloring pencils..."I put my arms back down. "We'll have to settle with sketches and our imaginations." I added sheepishly.

.:"It still looks great though, almost like you took a picture of the place with a camera.":. Bumblebee pointed out.

"Oh, c'mon Bumblebee; I'm not that good." I shrugged.

"Hey Bee!" It was Raf. "Nurse Darby picked us up early today!"

.:"Hi, Raf!":. Bumblebee carefully lifted the boy up to his face, and Raf gave him a hug.

.:"Did you see what Zucky made? It looks like a real picture!":. Bumblebee excitedly beeped and lowered Rafael back onto the platform.

"Hi Zucky, had a good night?" Raf asked.

"I slept like a log, from the moment you guys left all the way into this morning." I said while rubbing the back of my neck.

"Wow, you really were tired, then." The boy's eyes were wide with surprise. "What's this?"

"The reason Bumblebee's so excited this morning." I chuckled. "He says I made it look like I took a picture taken with a camera, but I'm not that good, am I?"

"Are you kidding?!" Raf lifted the sketchbook and showed me the drawing. "I still draw like a kid!"

One of my ears fell limp in thought."You...still are..." I squinted my eyes in confusion at what he said.

"Yeah, I know; but I mean I'm terrible at drawing. I'm way better at technology, than I am at well...this." He emphasized his point with the sketchbook.

"It's okay Raf, I wasn't this good at your age either...Plus, I'm pretty sure I'm caveman level-smart at Science-Technology stuff, compared to you, but that's just fine. We can't all be super good at everything, otherwise; what are we even doing here, you know what I mean?" I explained, and I looked up at Bee as I meant to direct the question at both of them.

Bee thought about it; agreed and nodded.

"I guess you're right. But can you blame Bee for thinking it's awesome?" Raf asked as he looked at Bumblebee who went to greet the others.
