Transformers: Glitched pt.2

Sam and Mikaela arrived at 12:36, with only running 1.5 stop signs and several yellow lights. Sam argued that the point five of the stop sign didn't count, until Bumblebee told Mikaela to pull out the driving manual in his glove box and read the section on stop signs.
Sam then pouted the rest of the way to the movie theater.

Once they arrived, both teens groaned. Nearly all the parking lot was full of cars. The only parking spaces were the ones way out in the lot and Sam never liked leaving Bumblebee so far out.

Sam knew Bumblebee couldn't be easily scratched or dented like other cars and he certainly couldn't be broken into, but Bumblebee wasn't just Sam's car. He wasn't even really his. The yellow black striped Camaro was a living thinking sentient robot and like a best friend to Sam. He wouldn't leave Mikaela or another friend in the farthest parking space from the theater, then go watch a near two hours movie and expect everything to be a-okay. No that wasn't a friendship, so Sam drove around for about five minutes before they got lucky and someone pulled out of the third parking place from the first.

"Come on! We still have to get our tickets and get popcorn! Which you're paying for, remember?" Mikaela  nearly jumped out of the car before it was fully stopped, making Bumblebee give a high trill/chirp in warning and fright.

"Sorry." Mikaela apologized quickly as he gave Bumblebee's door a pat. He rumbled his engine in what could have been considered a purr. Mikaela smiled.

"Yeah I remember, but slow down I'm coming and we still have time." Sam said as he stepped out of Bumblebee.

"Not if were going to get a good seat." Was the last thing Sam heard before she ran off inside to get the tickets.

Thinking he better hurry, Sam looked around, seeing no one around, he turned to Bumblebee. "The movie is only an hour and forty minutes. You think you can wait that long here with out getting bored?"

Bumblebee quietly trilled then chirped, making a sound close to an 'I dunno.'

Sam sighed and was about to say something but was cut off by Bumblebee, who chirped and made a whirl noise which Sam had learned to mean "Yes, I capable." or something of that nature.

The teen smiled and patted Bumblebee's roof, "K, see ya in about two hours." And with that, Sam jogged off after his girlfriend, in hopes she was still waiting for him and didn't make true her threat of going by herself.

Bumblebee meanwhile entertained himself with watching a movie himself on a website Sam had shown him. It had all sorts of genres of movies; horror to comedy to children's shows to romance and so much more. Best of all he could watch them instantly, he didn't have to wait for them to be mailed or go to a movie theater to watch them. Nope he could be anywhere and still watch a movie or TV show of his choice. His current choice was a comedic television show where the main character pretended to be a psychic even though he was just very observant and along with his best friend, they solve crimes for the SBPD.

Bumblebee was enjoying the episode where the main character, his friend, a police officer, and the mortician had all gotten over-energized at a party the night before and were trying to figure out what had happened. Things weren't going well for the characters. First the one named Lassiter was missing three bullets from his gun that had been fired as well. Then they all get called down to the station because a dead human was found, who happened to have been shot three times, wore the sandals the character Shawn was wearing and had his phone too.

Bumblebee laughed as he continued to watch until his internal comlink beeped, signaling that another Autobot was trying to hail him. He opened the channel and heard the loud heavily accented voice of Skids.

*Yo, Bumblebee! What's up?*

Then a second channel pinged in Bumblebee's HUD and it showed the green bots brother was also contacting him. He reluctantly opened the second comm channel, knowing he would being getting a processor ache from having the twins loud obnoxious voices blaring on his internal comm system.

*Hey, black and yellow! We had a question for ya. * Mudflap called immediately after Bumblebee opened the comm link.

*Yeah! We got a little problem with our human chia pet.* Skids added before Bumblebee could send a word.

*That's the question we were going to ask?* Mudflap asked

*Yeah, stupid!* Skids shot back.

Before Mudflap could respond and most likely start a fight Bumblebee sent via comm text, -What's the problem with Leo?- Bumblebee doubted that it was something very serious by the twins attitude towards the situation, even though they had a different sense of humor and did spend a majority of their time joking and fighting they did care for their charge.

*Oh. Well he has this habit of eating in our cabs and leaving crumbs everywhere but won't clean up after. * Came both Skids and Mudflap's reply.

-Did you try telling him to and how you don't like it?- Bumblebee sent. If he could talk he'd probably get that tone that adults get when talking to the younger of the human species.

*Yeah! 'course we did!* Came Skids' indignant reply. *He just laughed and called it payback*

*Yeah and we heard Sam kept doing the same thing ta ya and we were wonderin' if ya could tell us what ya did ta cure 'em of it?* Mudflap asked.

Bumblebee laughed at the memory of that day. He hadn't thought about that in a while and he sure did cure Sam of his 'leaving crumbs in Bumblebee's seat or floor' bad habit.

Bumblebee had tormented Sam that week with many different crumb related pranks. The bot had put potato chip crumbs in Sam's bed each night, had hid cookie crumbs in his school bag/binder, had placed sticky caramel squares in his shoes, and had finally rigged up a bucket full of chips along with other crumblely human foods and set in on the top of the garage's side door which Sam always came though when he came to get Bumblebee. That had been the last straw for Sam, he'd at first been anger, but then realized that he didn't like food crumbs everywhere or food being dropped on him so he stopped eating inside Bumblebee or if he had he would vacuum the crumbs up as soon as he could.

-Um… It's a long story and I don't think Leo would like it very much- Bumblebee typed and the twins groaned.

*Come on Bee-bee! We need ya help!* Skids whined

*Yeah!* Mudflap agreed, *I got crumbs all up in my seats!*

-First off, don't call me 'Bee-bee' and why should I help you when all you did was laugh and make stupid comments when I had the same problem?- Bumblebee texted, feeling no sympathy for the two.

*'Cuz were stupid and need help from a much wiser mech. *Mudflap started but was interrupted by Skids' comment of 'who you calling stupid?'

*You! You stupid piece of..* Mudflap was quickly interrupted by Bumblebee, who could feel that processor ache coming on.

-Okay. One condition.-

*What?* The twins asked in unison.

-Next four times I come to base, I'll be target free from both you two and the other two. - Bumblebee texted his proposition and both twins groaned but agreed. So Bumblebee told them the story, which set the green ad orange twins into a fit of laughter.

With his CPU rattled with loud laughter, Bumblebee didn't hear or see the tiny blip that appeared then disappeared on his long range scanners.
