Okay do you remember that scene in "Stronger, Faster" When Ratchet went through the Groundbridge? Well Bumblebee was back at base, so I always wondered what happened between them in those moments. Okay also, this scene is obviously to long to happen in those few moments, so you will need to suspend belief here ,Now I know others have done this but hey, I needed to get it out so without further a due! Here we go!

"Talking"

:Bumblebeeps:

*Bumblebee, Bridge us back* Optimus ordered. A second later a Groundbridge opened up and Ratchet begrudgingly walked through it in to base were Bumblebee was standing by the Groundbridge controls while Raf stood on the platform behind him.

"They don't know what's good for them!" Ratchet exclaimed to himself in frustration, his shoulders tense.

:What are you talking about Ratchet?: Bumblebee whirred questionably, confused by the medics outburst. The scout hadn't heard the conversation that had taken place only a moment ago. Ratchet turned towards him.

"Those bots think we should live by some code, no matter if it interferes with us winning the war!" Ratchet fumed. Bumblebee was slightly taken back by the outburst, Optimus had raised him to respect and follow the Autobot ways, and he did immensely, Ratchet had always agreed before.

:But Ratchet, that code is what keeps us separate from the Decepticons: Bumblebee beeped with a childlike innocence to his tone. Ratchet scoffed and stepped over to Bumblebee, glaring down at him ever so slightly.

"Your weak minded Sire said the same thing" Ratchet huffed "He's raised you to lose, just because of some moral code!" the medic snapped. Bumblebee was shocked, Ratchet never spoke about Optimus that way.

:Ratchet! How could you say that? Optimus is the most strong willed person I know: Bumblebee watched as Ratchet stepped closer to him, making Bumblebee step back a small amount.

"Oh, you are so much more naive then I had originally thought!" The medic loomed over the scout a disgusted look on his face. "Sometimes I wonder who your real sire was, I mean Optimus can be daft sometimes but you! Your just dumb!" The emergency vehicle barked, making the smaller bot shrink because of his volume.

:Ratchet your just confused right now, I think the synthetic Energon is getting to you: Bumblebee ignored the pain the words had caused and tried to calm the medic down. Ratchet actually laughed at that, a vicious smirk forming on his features.

"Confused? No. I'm the only one here who isn't confused!" Ratchet was progressively stepping towards the yellow and black youngling as he spoke. "We have a leader whom will never finish the job, and kill Megatron. We have a big wrecker, who I believe is dumber than you. We also have a small femme who gets angsty when you say anything about her past, even a name!" Ratchet had forced Bumblebee into a corner by now. Bumblebee flinched as his sensitive doorwings scraped up against the wall, Ratchet glared at him and continued.

"And then we have you, Prime's kid, the kid who tries to be strong for his sire even though he is still just a weak little sparkling. The kid who tries to make up for his disadvantages in life by trying to help with the war cause, but only ends up failing and making a fool out of himself. The kid who would have been ridiculed by others his own age if he was still on Cybertron. The weak, pathetic, kid who slows the whole team down. Who is nothing but a scrawny, little, MUTE!" Ratchet shouted the last part. The scout had slowly been sliding down the wall trying to get away from Ratchets insults. Bumblebee could feel the lubricant in his optics, but he wouldn't let them fall just so he could be laughed at.

With one last glare at the whimpering youngling, The medic set the portal to close after him, then Ratchet ran back through the Groundbridge. As the bridge closed Bumblebee began to cry. Sobs raked his frame as he let the lubricant run down his faceplate. pulling up his knees he rested his head on top of them. Ratchet had pointed out all his insecurity's and yelled them out at him.

Raf walked over and placed a, he hoped to be comforting hand, on Bumblebee's foot. Raf had heard all the nasty things Ratchet had said. The small boy thought they were all completely not true, but Bumblebee needed convincing. Unfortunately Raf knew he couldn't be the one to comfort him. He needed Optimus. Actually he needed Ratchet to come apologize.

And so the two of the sat there for a moment. The only noises being Bumblebee's clicking and whines as he cried. Raf hoped Ratchet would come to his senses soon. He didn't know if Bee could take losing him, even if he had been the one to make said bot cry.

Raf sighed "It's okay Bumblebee, Ratchet will be back. And he will be his normal self" The twelve year old reassured his guardian.

"I hope"

So, That's that. Tell me if you would like a follow up on this one! I will gladly write another chapter to this, maybe Ratchet apologizing or something...Idk...anyway..Yeah, let me know, It may take awhile but it will get done.
