Snow

Snow 2

Will smiled at the snow on the ground as he and Sam stood in his front yard.

"this is gonna be great! you got decorations right?" Sam ask. Will nodded and chuckled.

"yeah, shhhh though. Ironhide's exhausted still, he's been sleeping in the garage all morning. I'm gonna let him sleep too." Will said. he looked over at the Camaro, Ambulance, and Semi all parked in the yard. the three holoforms studied the sky or ground. it wasn't the first time they'd seen snow, but they still reacted like children seeing snow for the first time every time they saw it.

"I don't understand." Ratchet said. "decorations for what?" he ask.

"a human holiday." Bumblebee said.

"Christmas is in a few days." Sam said.

"Christmas...?" Optimus muttered, looking up the word.

"yeah. we're gonna decorate the base." Sam grinned. "where's the decorations Will?" Sam ask. Will shivered a little, shifting in his jacket.

"in the barn." Will said. Sam looked over at the old barn, Will never let anyone in there. it was a death trap.

"uh the death barn?" Sam ask hesitantly.

"yeah. that would be the one." Will chuckled, heading towards the barn. "though all the glass stuff is in the attic of the house." Will added.

"the structure isn't stable. would you like help?" Ratchet ask.

"nah. it won't take but a few minutes." Will shrugged. they slowly trudged through the knee high snow.

"so Ironhide's just gonna sleep all day?" Sam ask.

"well I'm not gonna wake him." Will said. Sam nodded as the finally made it to the barn. the carefully made their way inside.

Ironhide grumbled lowly, rolling out of the garage carefully. something didn't feel right, Bumblebee called it his 'guardian sense'. some how the weapons specialist could <i>always</i> sense when Will was in danger or something.

"hey old man, finally decide to get up?" Bumblebee teased. Ironhide appeared to ignore him and the scout went to speak again but the Topkick suddenly spun his back tires hard, throwing snow all over the yellow Camaro with a grunt. "hey!" Bumblebee huffed, shaking side to side on his tires to get the snow off.

"where's Will?" Ironhide ask.

"in the barn." Ratchet said. Ironhide shifted.

"the death barn?" Ironhide ask. Sams nickname had stuck with the old mech. Optimus' holoform raised an eye brow at Ironhide.

"uh I believe thats what Sam called it." Optimus said.

"and you let them go into it?" Ironhide ask.

"we didn't see a reason not to." Ratchet shrugged. Ironhide stilled as did Bumblebee.

"Sam!" Bumblebee shouted. before the younger could move, Ironhide's alt was already tearing across the snow covered lawn at high speeds. the other three transformed, running towards the barn. they watched the mech crash through the side of the barn as it came down. it was silent. "SAM!" Bumblebee shouted running over. the three stared in horror at the wreckage. nothing moved, there were no sounds coming from the wreckage.

"oh Primus." Ratchet muttered in shock. Optimus slowly inched forward, but came to a stop as the rubble started moving. slowly Ironhide stood, servos pressed to his chest, cupping something. Bumblebee was hoping it was their charges. he carefully took one of his hands and started shoving things off him. immediately the other three made use of themselves and started helping get the stuff off Ironhide. the big black mech took the chance to put his other hand back to cupping his chest plates and shifting something. some of Ironhide's gears ground as wood splinters and nails got caught as he stood. he turned to the other three, slowly opening his hands. Sam was sitting up, pale and terrified. his head was bleeding pretty badly. Will was laying on his back, either in pain or unconscious. there was blood on his head and side, blood running down his face as well. pooling in the large mechs hands.
