Epilogue
My life for the last few days had been very eventful. Me, a seventeen year old girl survived a war. Not just any war, but an alien war. Good verse evil; and thanks to Sam and I, the Autobots won.
The battle in Mission City was chaotic..some lives were lost during the battle, many left severely injured.
But thanks to the Autobots, earth was saved.
Megatron's body was dumped in the Arctic ocean, disposing of the evidence of him and anything else that remained in Mission City. That exact location where he was dumped has since then been guarded by military ships.
After the war, Sam and I and everyone else involved was sworn to never speak as to what had happened in Mission City, it was a black listed sort of situation.
As for the Autobots considering their home, Cybertron was lost to the war they were granted permission to stay here on Earth. With the agreement of working side by side with the military, and so N.E.S.T was born.
A military organization that works with the Autobots in protecting our planet from the Decepticons.
As for Bumblebee, he was still able to stay with Sam and I. He was our guardian, our protector. It was pretty cool that I still got to drive him to school; showing Bee off probably was the most fun I had throughout the rest of the school year.
Though the war was over and the chaos had settled, not everything returned to normal.
When I returned home from our battle, my parents had disappeared. Gone without a trace as to where, why or if they'd ever returned.
I tried looking for them, I tried to call, text, but nothing. Their phones had been disconnected, so neither my texts or calls were received. I tried going to the authorities, but for some reason it was as if they didn't care.
The entire situation didn't seem right, as if something or someone was trying to cover up the truth behind my parents disappearance.
I ended up finding a folder; within it had documentation of everything being left to me in my name. Goes to show that they were never returning.
It enraged me.
How could they have just left me? What did I do to them?
With my parents gone, Sam's parents had instantly took me in. It wasn't an easy adjustment, but I adapted quickly given the fact I was always hanging out with Sam at home. I already grew accustom to the chaos in the Witwicky house.
As for Sam, just like in the movies where the guy gets the girl; him and Mikaela got together.
And here I thought my life would never get interesting.
"Hey."
I turned, smiling over at Bee, "hey what's up?"
Since the Autobots would be living here on Earth, Ratchet had designed and created human "holograms" for the Autobot team. But they weren't like the holograms that you think they'd be.
It was an advancement that I never thought could be achievable. Ratchet called them "holoforms". These holoforms gave them the ability to not only just be another disguse but to also give them the opportunity to adapt better to earth's customs and experience what life is like as a human.
I was quite surprised at Bee's apperance that he had selected for himself. It was quite the adjustment I will admit and its been hard to not just stare at him whenever he was in his holoform.
He chose a beautiful yet striking color of blue for his eyes. His skin the color of warm toffee, and god he was big, tall, and toned with muscle. He had an upper arm band tattoo on both arms, including two black strips that came from the sides of his ribs to a sharp point that reach to the front of his chest. He also had to what he explained to be his name down his spine written in Cybertronian language.
His features were strikingly beautiful, he had perfect teeth, cute dimples on both corners of his mouth, soft and kissable-I mean soft looking lips..
It was hard for me to admit that through the few months that had went by, I had caught feelings for the Autobot scout. It was confusing and I often got frustrated with these said feelings.
Bee was great, he was sweet, kind and caring, not to mention funny, I loved being around him. We hung out everyday, sometimes just the two of us but most of the time it was with Sam and Mikaela.
At first it was innocent.
Since the first time of seeing his holoform, I wanted to give Bee first hand experience of what it's like to be a human. So we went to the movies, I showed him the arcades, took walks through the parks, we went to little coffee shops after a long day of spending time at the local library.
I think the trips to the library with Bee were my favorite. He was curious as always, and he asked me what my favorite book was. The funny thing is that no one has ever asked me such things. Aside from Sam, no one has ever took the time to get to know me.
No one cared for what I liked, what I didn't like, no one cared for what I was passionate for, and here Bee was...giving me what I always wanted.
And that's when I realized...that I had caught feelings for him.
He continued to ask me questions, he took the time to know me. He surprised me with little trinkets from certain shows or movies that I had said I liked. He even surprised me with a signed copy of one of my favorite books.
He did all these amazing things for me all because he listened to whenever I rambled. He took the time to know me, had the patience to understand me and to learn.
He even urged me to keep talking whenever I felt as if I was talking too much. He laughed at my terrible jokes, and was there whenever I needed a shoulder to cry on. Especially when I was coping with my parents disappearance.
He didn't have to do any of these things, but as he had told me everytime I asked him why, "I want to do these things because you deserve it."
It was soon obvious to both Sam and Mikaela that I had a crush on Bee and given how clueless Bee could be; he never really caught on anytime Sam would tease me about my crush on him.
He still had lots to learn about what it's like to be human, but he adapted fast and learned just as fast to our customs here on earth. Of course he often acted foolish, especially with Sam and sometimes he would join teasing me with Sam.
Life has been great. Probably the best that it has been for me in a long time.
Before Bumblebee..before the Autobots, my life was boring...it was colorless. I didn't have much going for myself. Yes I was straight A's in school, it's not like I didn't have a exceptional future..it was the lack of passion for it.
I wasn't the prettiest girl, I never got asked out by boys..alot of the time it was for a joke, or because of a stupid dare. I never fitted in anywhere..I was an outcast. Life was hard, and then I met Bee, the Autobot's and my life changed entirely.
Since then I've changed my perspective on life. I became more eager to set goals for myself, become exicted for what the future had in store of me. Life became more livable, more vibrant in color.
"Lisa?"
"Yeah?"
"Lost in your head again?" He asked with a smile as he sat down next to me on the roof. My favorite spot to just sit down and gather my thoughts whenever I needed it.
The sun was starting to set turning the sky from a bright blue to an orange-red with a touch of rosey pink.
"I guess yeah.." I replied as I rested my head on his shoulder. "The view up here is nice, right?" I added on with a soft smile as my gaze stayed fixated on the sunset.
"Yeah it's pretty nice...beautiful even..but.." he trailed off, mumbling something quietly to himself.
"What's wrong?" I asked him, turning to look at him. His jaw clenched, his blue eyes fixated on the sky.
One of the hardest thing about having feelings for Bee, was the fear that he wouldn't feel the same. He'd probably think I'm crazy right?
Bee talked about his time living in Cybertron. He talked about the missions he's been on, the long hours spent training, he even shared a few stories of his troublemaker days. As embarrassing as some of them were, I got a good laugh out of them.
But with the many talks we've had about Cybertron, I could tell how much he missed home. While some memories were good, many of those memories were bad.
He didn't open up much about what had happened to him during the war in detail. I could see it in his eyes everytime he talks about it. There's unseeable scars that is etched in his skin, in his spark, in his soul.
"Bee? You can talk to me..I can tell something is bothering you." I said softly, my hand resting on his causing him to tense up. What's been going on with him?
Hes been like this for the past couple days. Something about him seemed off..as if he was hiding something yet trying to play it off as if it was nothing.
"It's nothing.. don't worry about it."
One thing I've learned easily about him; he was a terrible liar. I frowned, pulling my hand away, "did i do something wrong?" I asked as my eyes searched his face, hoping he'd finally get the courage to look at me.
"What? No!" He blurted out, turning to look at me, eyes wide and filled with worry. "No, no you didn't do anything wrong."
My heart now racing, did he figure out I had a crush on him?! Instantly my face became warm, flushed with embarrassment. Maybe that's why he's been acting weird with me...
"I'm sorry...I just.."
He trailed off, turning his head away, his gaze dropped to his hands that rested on his lap. I watched as he rubbed the palms of his hands up and down his thighs.
"Bee.."
"I need to tell you something.." he said slowly, his breathing became heavy. My heart began to race, oh my god..he knows..he knows I like him!
"This isn't something that I'm used to...something that...Primus..I don't even know how to explain it." He stuttered out, he leaned back, hands pressed against his face.
"Its not something I was ever taught...in Cybertron it's different..my kind expressed things differently, things for me were different. I'm not...I never felt this way towards...anyone...I-" he stopped himself, taking in a deep breath while anxiously running his fingers through his hair.
"I'm not used to earth customs yet...I mean I am! I have sort of an idea of how things work here, how I should act, what I should be doing, just this...whatever this is...the way that I'm feeling right now...I just can't-i don't know how to say it!" He rambled out, tears beginning to form in his eyes out of frustration.
"Its...its embarrassing! And I don't know if I'm-i know this is wrong...it should feel wrong but it feels right...it feels amazing and i-fuck!"
My heart felt as if it was going to explode right out of my chest. My hands clenched tightly into fists as they trembled. Does he...no..there's no way..
"Lisa.. I...I like you. I like you alot."
Just like that my jaw drops wide open, the sight made Bee's eyes widened in horror.
"I'm sorry!" He blurted out, panic had settled in and he was making a run for it. I only had seconds to snap myself out of it before scrambling to my feet, poor guy must've been too freaked out to remember that he could've just turned off his holoform and disappear from sight.
"I like you too!" I yelled out, causing him to stop dead in his tracks. My face redder than a tomato is what I'm assuming as the tears blurred my sight.
"I-I like you too." I repeated, my heart racing; it's rapid beats hammering against my ribcage. He turned to look at me, "you don't...you don't mean that."
I swallowed hard, "yes...yes I do." I barely managed out, God i felt like I was going to pass out.
"You..."
There was a long silence that hung between us. This was not how I imagined my confession to be like.
I still haven't been able to process the fact that Bee had feelings for me. SINCE WHEN DID HE LIKE ME?! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?!
I was internally freaking out, my mind was racing, millions of thoughts running through my head, so many things that I wanted to say, and wanting to ask. I was so caught up in the moment that I didn't realize Bee had slowly made his way back towards me, until he was standing right in front of me.
I couldn't even look at him, I was so embarrassed. I felt so ashamed of myself..all of it felt wrong...but at the same time; it felt right. It felt as if it was meant to happen. That we were meant to be and God do I sound delusional.
"Do you...do you really mean that?"
I bite the inside of my cheek, slowly nodding my head in reply. I was too scared to say anything, my hands were trembling.
"Lisa.." with gentle fingers, Bee reached to my chin; lifting my face up so he could look right at me. I had no other choice but to look at him, tears forming in my eyes; blurring his face.
"Are you...are you disappointed that I like you?" He asked me, a frown forming on his lips, "you don't have to lie to me if you don't like me...you are a human after all, your sole purpose here on earth is to be with your own kind not be with me. Its how you're race survived for eons I-"
"Stop!" I blurted out, I grabbed hold of his hands, "I don't want to be with my kind! I want to be with you!"
His eyes widened, "I didn't just say 'I like you' because I felt bad, or just for the hell of it! I said it because I actually do like you Bee! I've liked you for a long time! And I was scared because I knew you wouldn't have felt the same, or that you would think that I'm crazy! I was just scared."
I glared up at him, my heart was racing, my breathing heavy. My hands tightly held onto his in hopes that he wouldn't notice how much they trembled.
After a long moment of silence once again he began to laugh, my eyes widened for a moment, and my heart sank. Did he find this funny? Did he think my confession was funny?!
"And here I thought you'd never feel the same about me."
"You...you were afraid?"
"You think just because I'm a giant alien robot that I don't get scared? Lisa, the moment I realized what you humans say...a 'crush'...I just got scared. I didn't know what I was feeling for you was at the time. But then it grew stronger and stronger. I knew from then on that I wanted to know everything about you, I wanted to be there for you always. I wanted to do whatever it took to make sure you were happy, and safe. I wanted to be the one that you could come to always. I just...I wanted it to be me. I didn't know what to do, I didn't know how to tell you..I was scared, and I was afraid that if you knew, you'd hate me or never want to see me again. I just didn't want to lose what we had."
I was at a loss of words. What Bee had just said was the most astonishing thing that anyone has ever said to me before. It was beautiful...it was perfect.. it made butterflies flutter at the pit of my stomach.
Bee had made me feel so many amazing things. Feelings that I have never felt towards anyone before. Yeah when I was younger I had silly little crushes, but it was nothing compared to the feelings that I feel towards Bee.
And it was something I never ever want to let go of. Bumblebee has become the one thing that I never want to lose. That I never want to give up. Yeah there could be potential human boyfriends out there for me.
But none could ever compare to Bee..for all the good he has done for me in the past months is nothing I could ever expect anyone else to do for me; because no one has done the things Bee had done for me.
I reach out, cupping his cheek with my hand as my thumb rubbed his cheek in a circular motion. He sighed, closing his eyes and leaning into my touch.
I found myself leaning towards him, God he's so beautiful...everything about him is beautiful. His eyes fluttered open, and he smiled, it makes my heart skip beat. My eyes locked on his, "can I.. can I kiss you?"
He asks me, and at first...it felt like an odd thing to say.
No one has ever asked me permission. They just took what the wanted without it. It made tears weld in my eyes, a surge of happiness flooded through me. As the tears rolled down my cheeks, I laugh with a smile framed on my lips, "yes."
He leans down, the tip of his nose brushing against mine, "I...I don't know how.." he mumbled, his lips just barely brushing against mine before he pulled away, his face flushed red with embarrassment.
My face grew hot, "oh uhm.." I quickly covered my face with both hands, "I'm sorry, I should've known. You don't have to if you don't want to. I'm so sorry, oh my god.." I continued to ramble, not making any sense to even myself.
Before I know it, I'm too far gone into my head to even notice Bee's hands grabbing hold of mine, gently pulling them away from my face. He then cups my face with both hands and before I knew it, his lips pressed against mine.
The kiss was short yet sweet, I couldn't even begin to process what had just happened. He pulled away, his cheeks tinted a rosey pink.
"Oh..oh wow.."
"You were panicking and I didn't...I didn't know what to do...I'm sorry." He rambled out, he hung his head for a moment, dragging a hand through his hair.
"Thats one way to shut me up." I said with a laugh as he looked up at me, "what? No, no that wasn't my intention I just.."
I laughed some more, "Bee, it's fine, I'm just teasing." I reassured with a soft smile before reaching up and pressed a soft kiss on his cheek.
He looked down at me in awe, before cracking a laugh along with me. After a moment or so he gently reached down and rested a hand on my cheek, "it's still embarrassing though, sorry if I ruined the moment.." I mumbled, leaning into his touch.
He sighed, tilting my head up so my eyes were leveled with his, a soft smile framed his lips, "you have nothing to be sorry about."
"Can we try it again?"
His eyes lit up with excitement, "I would love too." He replied, leaning down towards me; the tip of his nose brushing against mine, I could feel his warm breath against my lips, my heart racing.
Within moments his lips meet mine again and just like the first time even though it was quick...sparks flew. It ignited in me, sending butterflies to soar in my belly.
His arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer as my arms wrapped around his neck. It was euphoria. Standing here on this rooftop, being held in his arms with his lips on mine, it made me feel alive. The buzzing excitement I felt throughout my entire body was ecstatic.
Once we pulled away, we were both breathless with big smiles on our faces. He pressed his forehead against mine as he let out a breathless laugh.
"I really like kissing you."
I couldn't help but giggle, tilting my head up to kiss the tip of his nose, "I really like kissing you too."
He pressed his lips against mine again leaving yet another sweet and quick kiss to linger on my lips.
"Lisa?"
"Yeah?"
"As you know I'm not too familiar with the human lifestyle and all the other things that humans do here on earth...but uhm.." he trailed off for a moment, rubbing the back of his neck all while trying to figure out whatever he had going on in his mind.
"W-will you do me the honors of being my girlfriend?"
I swear I thought my jaw had hit the floor. I stared at him in shock, unable to speak. Did he..is he asking me out?!
"Are you..are you asking me out?"
"I believe that's that's the proper term for it..."
After long moment of silence, "unless you don't want-"
"Yes!" I blurted out; startling him for a moment as I finally managed to get the two wires in my brain to connect.
He laughed, "are you sure that's what you want?" He asked me inbetween laughs as I nodded excitedly, "yes!"
He scooped me into his arms for a hug, spinning us around as we both laughed together.
"I can't believe this is happening." He said in disbelief before setting me back down. He looked down at me, his beautiful blue eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Me too."
He leaned down, kissing me softly on the lips once more.
"Thank you." He whispered softly against my lips, "for what?"
"For giving me the chance..I won't let you down i promise."
I smiled up at him, raising a hand towards him before sticking up my pinky finger. "We'll pinky swear on it. Here on earth, a pinky promise is a sacred promise, it beats all other plain boring ones. It's a big deal." I rambled out with a cheeky smile as he chuckled; sticking out his pinky finger and interlocking it with mine.
"Pinky promise."
The End...
