Chapter 9

today was the day that Bumblebee had to make a choice. A very hard choice. The femme in disugise thought back to when her father had asked her the question.

Flashback.

"I would like for you to return to Cybertron with your mother and me." Ultra Magnus asked his daughter on the roof of the base.

Bumblebee looked at her father. Did he just ask what she thought he had said?

"I want to be able to know you as you not as what everyone says about you." The Magnus said. "I know that you acted the way you acted due to trying to say off the radar. All I know about you is that you were willing to take the blame for a fellow Autobot in Boot Camp. That to me shows loyalty which is something that not many bots have in this day and age."

Bumblebee was shocked. Did Bulkhead tell Ultra Magnus what really happened in Boot Camp? If her best friend did than her father had to ask him about her life in Boot Camp.

"Bumblebee the choice is yours. I don't what you to think that you have to come back with me because I order you to and I don't want you to stay forever. I just want to have some time to get to know. You can return to your team anytime you want." Ultra Magnus told Bumblebee who was looking up at him.

"Can I think about it and give you my answer later?" Bumblebee asked. She really didn't want to give her father an answer just yet.

"Of course Bumblebee. We leave tommorow. You can give me your answer then. Just remember that no matter what answer you give I will always support you." The leader of the Elite Guard told his daughter.

"Thank you Sir." Bumblebee still had a hard time calling her father anything but sir.

Ultra Magnus smiled at his daughter before leaving the rooftop.

End Flashback

Bumblebee sat in her room thinking about the pros and cons of each choice. The pros for leaving her team was that she would get the respect that he always wanted and bots would have to look up to her. But the cons were that she would only be respected because of who her father and mother were.

The Pros about staying with her team was the Bumblebee would be free from all the hustle and bustle of being the daughter of the Magnus and his mate who was a powerful member of the Senate. She would be forced to live in her creator's shadows for the rest of her life. The Cons were that she wouldn't be able to spend time with her parents and that she would miss her friends.

Bumblebee just didn't know what to do and she had to give her answer in a few hours so she settled into a light recharge so that she could think about her choice.

Soon it came time for everyone to leave. Sentinel was not looking very happy as his wings had been removed by Ultra Magnus and he was no longer a Prime. He was just an everyday solider. Jazz had been made the new 2nd in command.

Optimus was a little nervous about what Bumblebee would choose to do. He wanted her to be happy but he didn't want to lose the little sister of the group. But it was her choice. He could also tell that the other members of his team were also nervous about Bumblebee's choose. But they also would respect her choice.

Bumblebee stood in front of her parents. The femmes had already boarded the ship heading for Cybertron. FireFly was a little scared to go back to Cybertron as she had no life outside of the streets selling herself. WindRunner had seen the young femme was scared about going back to streets. So the noble femme had talk to her mate and decided to welcome her into their family by temporally adopting FireFly into the family. Bumblebee had been thrilled with the fact of having a sister. FireFly was shocked that The Magnus would want her in his family.

"FireFly I know that you need a family and someone to care about you. As I said you are welcome in my home for as long as you like. If you never want to leave than so be it. But if you do always know that you are welcome back." The Magnus told the young femme who had a shocked look on her face.

"Thank you Sir so very much." FireFly had replied before getting on the ship with the biggest smile she could muster.

Now all that remained was Bumblebee. Ultra Magnus was hoping that she has made the right choice with her spark and not her processor.

"I have made my choice." Bumblebee told her father. "I want to stay on Earth with Optimus and his team. They are really the first family I really ever had and if I left they would be down a member and even if you sent a replacement they would have to train them and that is something that you don't have time to do if a war when you are a front line warrior."

Ultra Magnus let a smile come to his face. His daughter had done what her spark had told her and he was proud of her.

"I knew that you would make the right choice. But always remember that no matter where you are in live you are always welcome home." The Magnus told his daughter as he hugged her. WindRunner did the same thing. Unaware to them Bulkhead was taking a picture of the family so that Bumblebee would be able to talk to them when ever she wanted to.

"I will miss you my little star. But I am so proud of you and always will be." WindRunner told her daughter as she placed a light kiss on her daughter's forehelm.

"I love you mom and dad." Bumblebee said as she was able to call Ultra Magnus dad for the first time.

"And we love you to." Ultra Magnus replied before getting on the ship with his mate.

Soon the ship took off and headed for Cybertron leaving a slightly crying Bumblebee behind.

Her team came up beside her and hugged her and told her that they would always be there for her also.

Bumblebee smiled at her team before transforming and speeding back to the base.

It looked like everything was back to normal.
