TF RID: Kitty Bumblebee

A Cheetah?!

Bumblebee POV

I woke up in a strange place. There was metal everywhere. The place looked familiar, but I couldn't think of where I have been here before. I looked around and didn't see Optimus. I immediately got worried. For all I know, this could be another Decepticon base and Optimus could be severely hurt. I remembered that I sniffed Optimus in the middle of the night just in case I needed to track him. I transformed into my animal mode. I quickly learned that my animal mode is a disguise like my vehicle mode is. I can change my size to match an Earth cheetah, Earth Black Jaguar or Earth house cat.

I shrunk my size to the size of an Earth cheetah. I started sniffing the ground to track Optimus's scent. I picked up his scent very quickly. I started following his scent, hoping to find him unharmed and that this place isn't another Decepticon base.

I tracked Optimus's scent to a large opening. I looked up, away from the ground, and saw him. I meowed in relief and he looked towards me. I quickly realize that Optimus hasn't seen my animal mode nor my beast mode. There was a small human standing next a larger one. They were standing in what I could only assume be some sort of control center. The small human asked, "What is a cheetah doing in the base and how did it get in without triggering the alarm?"

I meowed again before I transformed into my robot mode. Everyone that was in the opening stared at me in shock. Optimus shook his helm, seemingly in disbelief. He walked up to me as I stretch. He said, "You can transform into a cheetah?" I said, "I have an animal mode and a beast mode. While in my animal mode, I can change my size to match the size of an Earth cheetah, black jaguar, and house cat." Optimus said, "That is very impressive, Bumblebee." I giggled and played with my digits slightly.

I said, "If you don't mind me asking, where are we?" I then pointed to the bots and humans in front of us and added, "And who are they?" The bots and humans looked at me very worriedly. A red and white bot said, "I was hoping that you were either joking or weren't sure if Bumblebee lost his memories. Too bad that didn't turn out to be the case."

Optimus said, "I had hoped that Bumblebee losing his memories weren't true as well, old friend." I said, "You told me that you had an old friend named Ratchet, Optimus." The bot that Optimus referred to as "old friend" said, "My name is Ratchet, Bumblebee."

I smiled and I suddenly felt like a recognize him. I didn't want him to be upset so I ran up to him. I just gave him a big hug and lightly nuzzled his neck cables with my faceplate. I heard a giggle as he carefully wraps his arms around me, returning the hug.
