Summary: PostMovie2007 Snow has begun to fall. What joys will the season of winter bring?
Rating: K+
Pairings: Open for interpretation.
Warnings: Same as before. I'm still fairly new to Transformers, so don't hate me if things are a little off.
Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers.
I would like to thank all of the amazing reviews! They make me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside, which is good considering how cold and snowy it is where I live.
I'm also so sorry it took me like, a million years to update this.

Bumblebee, our satellites have detected Barricade and Frenzy in the vicinity you and Sam are currently in. Optimus said.
Bumblebee's feet gave way beneath him and he crashed to the ice below, almost landing on Sam again. Thankfully Sam had seen Bumblebee's balance falter and managed to slide out of the way.
Are you serious?! Bumblebee asked, frantically looking around the area from his seated spot on the ice.
"What? What's going on?" Sam asked, not understanding what was being said. He slid over to Bumblebee, grasping onto one of his giant metal feet for balance.
"Optimus has located Barricade and Frenzy in this area." Bumblebee said, his optics narrowing as he scanned the area.
Sam's eyes widened and his grip tightened nervously on his guardian's foot. "They wouldn't attack us would they?" he asked.
"I don't think so. Barricade's had his aft handed to him by me already…"
Optimus interrupted his lieutenant over the comlink, Not to mention that he knows he has no back up if the rest of us step in. If he had Starscream, then it would be a possibility, but clearly that particular Seeker is not here.
Bumblebee suddenly chirped in surprise, hastily leaned forward and scooped Sam up into one hand, drawing him protectively to his chest. "I found them." He growled, his faceplate guard dropping into place. He lifted his right arm as it shifted to reveal his cannon, which began to whir to life.
Do not fire, Bumblebee! The Autobot leader commanded loudly. Even Sam heard it, though to him it sounded like a series of loud chirps, clicks, and random gibberish.
"I've got a clear shot! I won't miss!" Bumblebee insisted, the whirring of his cannon growing louder.
You will not fire at them! Optimus said. Lower your cannon.
Bumblebee did not respond to the command. He held his cannon forward, glaring at the distant Decepticons.
Bumblebee! Lower your weapon! Optimus commanded sharply.
Reluctantly, the young scout lowered his cannon and allowed it to power down. "Yes sir." He grumbled.
I will be sending Ratchet to check on the situation. You will stay where you are until I contact you again. Optimus out. The radio transmission was then cut.
Sam squirmed in his guardian's protective grasp. He could tell from the hisses coming from Bumblebee's vents that whatever Optimus had ordered was not what Bumblebee wanted to do. "Hey, Bee? You can put me down now."
"I'd much rather hold onto you right now, Sam. The Decepticons are right over there." He said irritably, carefully standing up on the slick icy surface.
"You're sort of crushing me buddy." Sam said, trying to push the massive hands apart and away from his torso.
The golden Autobot didn't let go. "We have to stay here until Optimus calls me again." Bumblebee then released Sam without a word and slid away from him angrily. Sam was about to ask him if he was okay, but Bumblebee's radio answered that question before he could answer.
'Uncle Sam taught him to shoot
Maybe a little too well
Finger on the trigger, loaded bullet
He hit the stage so full of rage
And let the whole world know it'Sam shook his head as Bumblebee skated angrily about the lake, his vents hissing as hot air shot out. 'It's probably a good thing that Bee isn't attacking them out here. It could cause attention and what not that we don't really need right now. Plus, who knows how the ice would hold up if more than one giant robot were out here.' He thought as he hesitantly skated behind his angered guardian.
What's wr-wrong with the youngling? Frenzy asked as Bumblebee skated angrily about. His partner was still not letting him into the cab.
Barricade groaned and replied, I don't know. I'm guessing that he spotted us. His cannons were charging, but then he powered them down. Prime and the others have probably detected us here.
Frenzy chirruped and frantically pounded Barricade's passenger door. Let me in-in then! They could be com-coming! He shouted.
Slowly and calmly, the police car opened his door and reluctantly allowed the little hacker back into his cab. If you touch anything you don't need to in there, you'll be back out there to fend for yourself, got that you little slagger?
Frenzy nodded and closed the door.
"Optimus is being such a coward, hiding out in the base. And locking us out no less!" Ironhide complained, pounding on the base door.
Ratchet groaned and grabbed onto Ironhide's massive arm. "Stop pounding on the door or you'll break it down!"
"I will do no such thing! I'll just make a new entrance that will require some repairs!" he said, stepping back and spinning his enormous cannons into place as they revved up to blast through the door.
Just as Ratchet was about to yell at the weapon's specialist when Optimus' voice suddenly sprang into his comlink. 'Optimus Prime to Ratchet. Ratchet respond.'
'This is Ratchet responding. I hope you know Ironhide is planning on blasting down the door now because of…'
'Ratchet, I need you to go and find where Bumblebee and Sam are. Barricade and Frenzy are in that same area and they could be planning to attack.' Optimus said, interrupting the medic.
Forgetting his comrade banging on the door, Ratchet said, 'Will do, sir. Please send me the coordinates and I'll get there as fast I can.' He didn't want Bumblebee to get into another fight with that ruthless Decepticon again. The gashes that monster's weapon could cause were very painful and quite tedious to repair, and he did not want to have to do that again.
'Thank you, Ratchet. Oh, and do not tell Ironhide. He'll just cause more problems for us at the moment.' Optimus added quickly. 'Though Barricade and Frenzy are there, I highly doubt that they'll do anything. I need you to just confirm that they will remain where they are and not attack Bumblebee or Sam. Ironhide will just start a fight, and we do not need that right now.'
Glancing over at the weapons specialist who was still revving his cannons, Ratchet asked, 'How am I going to leave with this trigger-happy fool out here? He'll ask me where I'm going and you know that I'm no good at lying on the spot.'
Optimus sighed over the comlink and said, 'I'll just have to come out there and deal with him. Once I exit the base, you just tell him that you were going off to see Mikaela or something.'
Ratchet nodded and said, 'Will do sir. Ratchet out.' And then he ended the transmission. Quickly, he transformed and began to pull away from the base in a hurry.
"Where are you going?" Ironhide shouted.
"I am going to see Mikaela. She said that she needed some assistance on her new truck. Something about it's fuel lines. I'll be back soon." Ratchet lied as he sped up and turned down the road.
Ironhide quirked an optic ridge in suspicion, but then looked to hear the base's door open up. An evil and daring smirk crept across his faceplate as Optimus stepped out hesitantly into the yard.

Author's Notes: I am so so so so so so SOOOOO sorry for taking so long to update this. Thank you for beings so amazingly patient. I have honestly lost some interest in writing this fanfic. This chapter was rushed and very irritating to write out since real life kept interrupting me.
I should probably let you know that I had distractions (Transformers Animated is now my love) and have sort of forgotten how to write the movie version of the Transformers. I will probably take a while to update this again. The snow has practically melted in my state…so my motivation has left along with it. I will finish this fanfic…but it will take some time.
Reviews are love! Please do it.
