Grimlock stayed where he was for the rest of the afternoon trying to think of who he could ask. Bumblebee comes looking for him and finds him there, "Grimlock, I've been looking all over for you. Have you been here all afternoon?"

"Yeah, sorry. Did you need something?" Grimlock asked as he transformed back into his bot form.

"No, was just wondering where you were because you were absent all afternoon, just wanted to make sure nothing happened to you."

"I'm okay, thanks for coming to check on me."

"No problem."

"Can I ask you something, 'Bee?" He asked as he followed Bumblebee to the scrapyard.

"Sure, Grim. What is it?"

"Um, have you...?" He felt his cheekplates heat up as he tried to ask his question, "Uh, I mean..."

"What is it, Grim? Just ask."

"Have you ever kissed anyone before?" He asked quickly.

"Wow, that's random. Um, I have a couple of times. Why?"

"Sorry, I was just wondering what it would be like to kiss someone. I've never kissed anyone before," he explained quietly with a blush.

"You haven't?"

"No," he mumbled.

"Do you want to try it?"

"Yeah," he mumbled just as quietly.

"Alright, you can try it with me."

"Y-you're sure?"

"Yeah," Bumblebee replied with a smile.

"O-okay," Grimlock smiled nervously. Bumblebee walks over to him and pulls him down to kiss him. Grimlock bent down to Bumblebee's level and started slowly closing the gap between them. Bumblebee brings their lips together and Grimlock's optics widen for a moment before they slowly close as he starts getting into the kiss. Bumblebee kissed him passionately to show him what it was like. Grimlock carefully placed his servos on Bumblebee's shoulders and slowly kissed the smaller mech back.

After about a minute, Bumblebee pulls back and looks at him, "How was that?"

Grimlock made a small squeak when he felt his face get warm, "I-it was nice," he replied quietly still feeling a little flustered.

Bumblebee smiled at him, "Good."

"I, uh, think we should head back, the others may be looking for us," Grimlock spoke quietly as he headed back to the scrapyard.

"I agree," Bumblebee said as he followed Grimlock. I rather enjoyed that kiss.

Grimlock kept quiet the whole way back, still thinking about the kiss. The sun had already been replaced by the moon when they got back. The others had already gotten ready for bed, "I guess I'll see you tomorrow, 'Bee," Grimlock said as he came to a slow stop.

"Yep, see you tomorrow, Grim."

"Good night," Grimlock replied before heading towards his quarters.

"Good night," Bumblebee said before heading to his own quarters.

Grimlock lays in his berth thinking about the kiss, he really liked it. But was it okay to do that? Bumblebee was their leader and a mech. But Optimus and Megatron were together so it should be okay, right? With a sigh, Grimlock held his pillow close to his chest. He could still feel Bumblebee's lips on his, and he smelled really nice. He felt his spark pulsing faster than usual. Why was it doing that? "I'll ask Fixit about it in the morning," he mumbled tiredly to himself as he slowly drifted into recharge.

The alarm sounded causing Grimlock to bolt up and run out towards the Alchemor, "What's going on?"

"We seem to have some 'Con activity," Strongarm replies as she walks over to the Alchemor with Steeljaw.

"We have a slight problem, Lieutenant," Fixit spoke with a hint of fear.

"What is it, Fixit?"

"There have been sightings of a large creature that resembles a Spinosaurus," Fixit brought up a video from a security camera, "Unfortunately, I can't brighten the picture to see who it is. But if you look closely there are four others with him."

"Where is that, Fixit?" Bumblebee asked.

"At a power plant that is under reconstruction."

"OK team looks like we have some dangerous 'Cons on our hands so let's be careful and keep an optic out. Thunderhoof, Metalsound, Grimlock, and Ultra Magnus will go with me," Bumblebee says before he transforms and heads out with Thunderhoof, Metalsound, Grimlock, and Ultra Magnus behind him.

"Good luck everyone!" Emberwing called out to the group.

They headed off and soon got to the power plant, "Keep an optic open guys you never know where they are," Bumblebee warns them.

Metalsound, Thunderhoof, and Ultra Magnus went in one direction while Grimlock and Bumblebee went in another. Metalsound, who was in her beast form, kept looking whenever she thought she heard something move. Her ears perked up as her head snapped towards the back room, she thought she heard something scurry across the floor. 

Suddenly this creature jumped out and attacked her. She let out a snarl when she felt a set of claws dig into her side as she fell to the ground. She snapped her jaws on the creature's skinny arms hearing a pained screech as the creature backed off into the shadows. The creature waited a few minutes before attacking again from another side. With a snarl, she discharged her electricity this time, and bolts of lightning shot off like fireworks in every direction. Keep a look out for this guy, he's fast.

Roger that. Thunderhood said before he saw spikes come flying at him, he ducked out of the way in time. Ultra Magnus managed to get out of the way of missiles that were coming straight for him.

"Shadowrunner, stop fooling around with these weaklings, the boss is going to get upset if you don't take care of their guard dog," a gruff voice spoke from the shadows.

A Raptor came out of the shadows, "Right," he said before he jumped on Metalsound.

Metalsound fell to the ground yelping in pain when she felt his sharp claws raking at her side. Her front paws lit up as she swiped at the Velociraptor's face. The Velociraptor moved back and dodged her paw, he let out a roar as he bit into her back. Metalsound roared as his jaws clamped down on her and she let off another surge of electricity. I could use some help over here.

Ultra Magnus screamed in pain as he collided with one of the power lines. That darn headbutting thing was worse than Thunderhoof in a rage. Falling to his knees he glared at the creature.

I'm a little busy right now. Thunderhoof said as he dodged some more spikes coming at him followed by a tail, he tried to ram the Stegosaurus but with no luck.

I just hope Grimlock and Bumblebee are having better luck.

~~~~~~~~~~

Bumblebee falls to the floor trying to avoid a tail coming at his helm, he then sees the sharp end of the tail coming down towards his face. Bumblebee rolled out of the way just in time, quickly getting to his feet he glared at the Dinobot. He looked like the Spinosaurus that Fixit had mentioned but he still didn't know who he was.

"I don't know who you think you are but I know one thing. I will see that this place is covered in your Energon, Autobot," a deep voice rumbled from the scarred Dinobot.

"That's what you think, Dinobot."

Pained roars echoed throughout the power plant causing the Dinobot to look in the direction of the roar, "You sure about that? Because it sounds like my boys are winning. Also, I'm sure that Amberblade is having fun with your Dinobot."

Bumblebee looks in the direction of the roar then turns back to him, "You're not gonna win this, 'Con."

"I think I already have," the Dinobot grinned before roaring as he charged at Bumblebee. He jumps out of the way to dodge him and then throws a blow of his own. The Dinobot quickly turned around, swinging his tail into Bumblebee's stomach. It collides sending Bumblebee into a wall, "Boys, we're moving out!" The Spinosaurus roared as he picked up what they had come for. A Sabertooth tiger was right on his tail as were the other three Dinobots.

Once they were gone, Bumblebee got up and went to check on his team.
