Ok, so technically, Chris guessed, he should have stayed in town. That had been the agreement to allowing him to go to Tranuitlity every so ofter. But he was just bored, and he needed to relax a bit. The visions, and the warning of his Grandfather.... That Unicron wanted him dead, weighed heavily on his mind.
He sighed, technically the lake was in Tranquility, just outside the town, so he figured he couldn't get into too much trouble. He just had to be at custom cycles to meet his ride by Six O'Clock. Besides, he was sure someone was shadowing him currently, so an attack on him was unlikely to go off well.
He stared onto the lake with silence, thinking hard on everything that was happening. He still didn't understand, what did he have that made Unicron himself fear him? Why was he so... Different like that? And most of all, what did his spark have to do with any of it.
None of it makes any sense. He thought to himself quietly, tossing a rock and allowing it to skip across the water of the lake.

The Satan's Camero drove through town before slowly pulling up to the lake. He stopped and began to blare out, "Hey there lonely girl, lonely girl
Let me make your broken heart like new
Oh, my lonely girl, lonely girl
Don't you know this lonely boy loves you."
After his scare with Sam, he was going to go back off...and go with a cell phone contact with him and text Sam about where he was before worrying without need. He shifted at that memory and mentally sighed.
He was allowed to worry about Sam, right? Well, no matter! He would haunt...um help Chris instead!
At the lake, but maybe it would help. He played the fanfare music he found and let his wheels to shift happily, looking at Chris.
((Lyrics; Hey There Lonely Girl by Eddie Holman))

Chris jumped slightly, turning his head, he saw Bumblebee in Comero form. He blinked, though he wasn't surprised Bee was working as his 'shadow' that day. He sighed, and began to walk over to Bumblebee, figuring he was motioning for him to come over.
"'Lonely Girl? Nice Bee." Chris smirked a bit, though a look of deep thought was still on his face as he reached the yellow bot "You here for a friendly visit or guardian duty?" He questioned.

Bee let out another fanfare sound and played, “Lean on me, when you're not strong And I'll be your friend…But, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour. I'll be there for you, like I've been there before. I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too.”
He managed a garbled chirp before falling silent. He had been straining his vocal processors a lot recently, making it hard to do even the smallest chirp now. He shifted on his wheels and popped open the passenger side door. Driver’s side was for Sam…and occasionally for Mikaela.
“Need a lift?” he quoted.

"Ah I gotcha, a little of both." Chris said, having known Bumblebee a long time, he always easily knew what Bumblebee meant when he talked with music.
When Bumblebee offered Chris a ride, Chris thought for a moment. A ride would be good, after all it may get his mind off things. He nodded, smiling. "Sure I could go for a ride." He commented, climbing inside.

Bumblebee played cheerful music and gently closed the door behind Chris. He waited for Chris to buckle himself in and started up. With a happy rev of his engine, he began to drive off, though he was heading to out of Tranquility and the open dirt roads. He revved his engine again and began to speed, playing the Theme Song to ‘Speed Racer’.
The sounds of everything, before switching to seeing if he could get Chris to talk. “If she can take it, I can take it Sam,” he quoted from Casablanca, correctly.
He turned down the dirt roads and slowly came to a stop, though it wasn’t the Lookout. He stopped and waited for Chris to either start talking or ask for him to keep driving.

Chris felt Bumblebee stop and knew what he meant when he played the clip. He sighed, and thought about how Bee could possibly know it everytime something was bugging him. Even when he was a little kid Bumblebee seemed to just know when something was wrong.
"I'm fine Bee, really. Just a little... Scared is all." Chris commented, shaking his head "This whole Unicron thing.. It's just... I don't know what to do." He shook his head "I'm scared Nemesis is going to suceed... Most of the time I barely sleep because I'm afraid he'll attack me when I do." He shook his head.
"Sorry. I'm rambling." He muttered.

Bumblebee listened quietly as Chris explained and made a strained annoyed sound as Chris stopped. "I'm listening," he quoted from 'Fraiser'.
He waited and began to play a soft, relaxing, comforting, melody that he found over the waves. He had no idea what it was, but it suited the situation. He usually didn't like lyricless music, but for now he would relax, lean back, and wait for Chris to continue to rambling.
He needed to talk and Bumblebee was more then happy to listen. Bumblebee always listened when he was needed to listen, drove when he needed to drive, and fought when he had to fight.

Chris sighed, shaking his head slightly. "There's nothing more to it Bee. I'm just scared." Chris shook his head "It's only a matter of time before Nemesis does something... And the last thing I want is anyone to be hurt." He then added "And if he doesn't get Sam or I he's bound to start hurting people." He shook his head "I'm starting to think of just handing myself over to him and finishing this before anyone can get hurt."

The sound of the doors locking echoed through the car almost and Bumblebee let out a grating, strained, concerned sound. He didn’t even notice, focusing on protecting Chris from the most dangerous enemy; himself.
“You're stuck with me… Yeah I think you're stuck with me… You were no trouble at all… It's no trouble, believe me. In fact, this is getting to be fun… You couldn't ask for anyone better in your corner. No matter what kind of trouble you're in…” Bumblebee rattled off quietly, trying to get Chris to realize that this was a bad idea.
Chris words had frightened him though. It made him want to take off, get Sam, lock him in here with Chris, then get David and every other Techno Organic out there and lock them in here and keep them safe. But…he couldn’t do that, not without kidnapping them. He refused to open these doors until he had to take Chris home or until Chris got this nonsense out of his head, whichever came first.
Because, right now he was a friend, not a guardian.

Chris looked at Bee in surprise, he had never locked him in like this before. Apparently this was his way of saying: 'You'll turn yourself over when I'm offline'. He sighed, and crossed his arms. "Bee I didn't mean it... If I did I doubt I'd tell you." He shook his head "I just... I just don't want people hurt because of me."
He knew what Bee meant, he'd be safe as long as he, Sideswipe, and Optimus were around. After all, Bee had put his own life on the line to protect Chris and Monica from Nemesis. As had both Sideswipe and Optimus. All three had made it plainly obvious that when their friends or family were on the line... They'd rather die then see them dead.
"I'm sorry for scaring you Bee." He commented.

Doors unlocked at Chris's words and Bumblebee's entire frame shivered with releif. Despite what Chris said, it still made him want to go driving off and protect them all. He woudl do it, he woudl fight for them all. Of course, he would not be bringing this up to Chris right now...or to Sam. He was about to say, 'It's okay', before deciding against it and finding a quote instead.
Or a song. He always prefered songs. He suddenly played a song for him, "Here is a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy...... "
Or, a clip at least. A happy rev of Bumblebee's engine, or an attempt to be happy. He wasn't really sure of anything right now. He still wanted to go racing through the city and collect everyone so he could protect them.
"Home James," he quoted.
((lyrics from Bobby McFerrin's Don't Worry, Be Happy.
I don't know where the quote is from, but it's a quote I heard on TV once))

Chris grinned a bit at Bumblebee, he had to chuckle. That was the thing about Bumblebee, he always had a way of making things better even when someone was horribly sad. "Don't worry Bee, I know you'll protect me. As long as I have you, Sides, and Dad... I really shouldn't worry." He admitted calmly.
"Is it already time to be heading back? Sheesh I must of lost track of the time." Chris really was genuinely surprised, but considering Bee went looking for him it made sense "You want to go right there, or have a little fun first?" He grinned a bit "I mean Dad does give me four hours to get back. And it'll only take two to get there at your speed."

Bumblebee rumbled happily and flipped on a song clip, "if you're lost you can look--and you will find me
time after time
if you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
time after time."
This time, it was for his reassurance and let his engine turn over with a soft growl. He paused at Chris's words and let Cindi Lauper's 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' play for a few moments. He wanted to aid Chris and he decided to go have fun. After all, the female singer was wonderous at conveying a lot of what Bumblebee wanted to say.
Of course, he was also expecting Chris to yell at him for the song choice, or laugh.
Hopefully laugh.

Chris pat the yellow Autobots dashboard lightly, smiling a bit. "I have no doubt in my mind you'll always be there Bee." He grinned lightly.
He laughed at what Bee did next, biting back his next comment for a moment, but decided he had to say it. "Wow Bee, are you trying to tell me you're a femme?" He jested.
"But seriously, what do you want to do?" Chris knew picking up girls was out of the question, considering he was in love with Monica. And nothing was gonna change that. "As long as it's legal of course."
