Walking through the forest was much faster than driving through it. But Tech would have preferred to be in their alternate mode. Their optics were a little shiny from their nervousness, engine making a muffled murmur, like a dog's growl. In this situation it was normal to be nervous... right?
They were holding Parthia on his servo, shielding her from the tree branches. It was faster to carry her like this. And they had a chance to talk a bit more before arriving at the place "Just... stay calm and try not to make him feel uncomfortable. Act like a normal adult human"
They hadn't expected Bumblebee to be upset about anything, but Parthia could be very… Parthia. Tech just didn't want things to get awkward... They'd malfunction of embarrassment...

"I know, my spark. You talk like I'm going to make a fuss" Which she would NOT do …or try not to. She really wanted to behave like a normal 17-year-old lady, but she had a right to be emotional, right? She was just minutes away from meeting an Autobot legend... HOW COULD SHE NOT BE THRILLED?!
The place chosen for the meeting was quite nice, so deep in the forest no one will see them. Plus, it was the perfect excuse for Tech to take her on her servo. Being so close to her beloved Transformer's spark calmed her down, even a little.
Reaching the clearing in the woods, Tech set her down. She didn't need the connection to know that her Transformer looked and was nervous "Everything will be fine, honey. Easy peasy, lemon squeasy" She couldn't even try to calm her down, she was sure that the excitement and nerves would fry her circuits.

Going back out into the woods was a nice change of pace, especially since he wasn't training Twitch and Thrash at the moment. It wasn't that he disliked training the Terrans, but sometimes they could get a little bit too rowdy for him. It was nice to let them have some family time or call in a substitute for the day so they could get some training from a different perspective, but today had been a somewhat unique circumstance. He was still training a Terran, but it was one of the other ones he hadn't seen in a little while: Tech. Tech had reached out, wanting to not only meet up but also to introduce Bumblebee to their human partner Parthia. He recalled that the girl had an interest in Cybertronians, and so now seemed like a good time to finally make that meeting happen.
Thankfully the scout didn't have too far to go through the woods in order to meet up with the pair. He wasn't sure how Parthia would react to him, but hopefully she'd understand that she needed to contain herself a bit. Bee's existence needed to remain a secret otherwise his secret mission was going to be blown.. and the Terrans would likely be exposed at the very same time to GHOST.
As Bumblebee made his way through the woods, he eventually spotted the pair walking together. He smiled as he noticed they were holding hands, happy to see that they at least had a close bond. Eventually he waved, approaching them. "Hey Tech! This must be your sister Parthia you've told me about. It's nice to meet you. I'm Bumblebee." At least, he assumed Parthia was like a sister to Tech. That's how it had worked for Robby and Mo with Twitch and Thrash, but it hadn't dawned on him that maybe other Terrans had a slightly different bond with their human partners.

Tech sighed and tried to calm down a bit more. They had prepared for this. Hundreds of scenarios passed through their processor while they waited for theiri mentor. But when Bumblebee was finally in front of them, the nervousness came back even stronger. They were feeling a bit of emotion, too, but Tech was sure it was Parthia who was responsible for it.
"Hello, Bumblebee" They waved back "Yes... she is... Parthia..." Sister? Parthia was not their sister. Their relationship was not like the brotherhood of humans, not like the Maltos. The other Terrans may have considered themselves brothers to their fellow humans, but their relationship with Parthia was... another thing.
For thinking about that, the wave of emotion from their human hit them like... like a bucket of cold water.

She stood still, slowly analyzing the image in front of her. Yellow and black paint, blue eyes, the Autobot insignia, those adorable little horns on his head... " Bumblebee..." She said, trying to understand that this moment was real "You are... Bumblebee" Still feeling the nervousness of her Terran, as soon as she understood that this was real, she couldn't help it "OH MY-! YOU ARE BUMBLEBEE!!!"
He had changed! Of course, if his alternate mode was now a race car he would look different. But the change was... from cute and adorable to cute and handsome! She had to cover her mouth with both hands to keep from letting out more screams. She blinked several times, thinking that such an image would disappear from her sight. But no, it was still there. Bumblebee was still in front of her.
"Oh my God, Primus or whatever exists up there! You're more... more handsome than I expected! I'm a fan of yours- Ah! Can I take a picture of you?!" She took her phone out of the small bag she brought with her. Her glove gave off a constant strong glow, her face was a little red and she had a goofy smile adorning it.

Bumblebee didn't get too much of a chance to react to Tech when suddenly Parthia shouted his name, screaming with excitement. The scout yelped in surprise, taking a step back as he winced. Oh no.. Oh no no that was a bad idea. He was afraid that the girl might get a little too excited, but he'd hoped that Tech had talked to his human partner about his situation. Quickly he placed a digit over his lips, bending down a bit to meet the two of them a little more at their level with a shush.
"Whoa there. I get your excited, but I need you to calm down, Parthia. You never know if there's GHOST agents lurking around, and I can't afford to be spotted by them. Not just because I'm supposed to be in hiding, but if they find out about the Terrans that could pose a problem for you guys too."
He didn't blame Parthia for her excitement of course, smiling reassuringly as he lowered his servo. "Of course you can take a picture. Just make sure to get one of my good side." Bumblebee chuckled a bit, giving the girl some time to ready her photo as he glanced over to Tech. "So this is Parthia, huh? I've been meaning to ask you.. how did you guys meet? I mean I know sorta where Twitch and Thrash came from, but admittedly I don't know much about you."

Of course Tech had told their human about the whole situation, but what they feared most had happened. A rush of emotion that was beginning to overload their circuits. This was so... so... embarrassing!!! They already knew about Parthia's attitude and knew what to expect, and yet... Right now it was so awkward to be in front of Bumblebee. It was a sense of shame that they had never felt before.
<<I'm so, so, so, so sorry for her behavior>>
They said through comms. They couldn't say anything in front of Parthia. They felt that static would come out as soon as they tried. Their frame was completely still, arms pressed to their waist and bright optics focused on the ground. They couldn't even look at his mentor in the face!

How could she calm down?! Even if she tried to control herself it was impossible! I mean, Bumblebee was right in front of her! Her top 1in cuteness, top 4 favorite Autobot "Oh don't worry. I don't think there's a bad angle on you..." She said as she pulled out her phone at lightning speed, turned it on and searched for the camera app.
One, two, three, four, five photos. She moved from side to side, capturing absolutely EVERY angle of it. She couldn't even speak, as if the spirit of a photographer suddenly possessed her. Though the amusement faded when she felt her Terran. Shame, embarrassment, regret was shared in their connection. "Oh, Tech..." Though she wanted to take, like, ten more photos, her darling came first. She put her phone away and walked over to her Terran.
"I'm so sorry girl. I told you I wasn't going to make a mess..." With both hands she caressed her leg, trying to convey calm. Highly unlikely, since she still had a huge rush of energy. And Tech didn't want to look at her. And because of her condition, she had to answer Bee's question "That was my fault. When I moved here I was so eager to explore the surroundings. I stepped where I shouldn't and fell into a cave. There was a weird stone there. And when I touched it, it shone and Tech appeared" Remembering that day made her smile, and she hoped that Tech could feel all that happiness and affection.

As Tech displayed their embarrassment via comms and Parthia made a mention of how they were feeling, Bee gave Tech a bit of a sympathetic smile. He understood that yeah it was easy to get carried away in the heat of the moment. He'd seen it time and time again not just with the other Terrans but some of the Autobots as well. It was a nice change of pace over opening fire on someone, but there needed to be caution as well. He couldn't risk GHOST finding out about him.. not until he found Breakdown and finished his mission for Optimus. He chose not to tell Tech about that during their previous meeting, but that was only because the less people knew the better. Nick got a free pass with the Breakdown thing given the situation, but he needed to keep that on the downlow as much as possible.
"So you found that cave and the stone too." It wasn't a surprise to Bumblebee given the fact that Tech was a Terran, but it was nice to hear that confirmation either way. "Robby and Mo created the other Terrans I'm training the exact same way. I'm teaching five other Terrans now as well." That was right, Tech. The number had increased from two to five. Hashtag, Jawbreaker and Nightshade were recent additions to the crew, and it definitely made for a rowdy bunch. Still, they were family.
"Seems like you guys get along though. Always nice to see siblings get along." Bee paused for a moment, pondering to himself. "You guys are siblings right? That's how Robby, Mo and the other Terrans see each other. Not sure if it's different for you two."

Tech gripped both arms tightly, trying to keep them from shaking. Wow, as if this wasn't stressful enough already. Bumblebee had told them about Twitch, Thrash, and the humans. But now there were five Terrans?! Where did the new three come from?! It was a dumb question and yet they wanted to know! What we're they going to do now?! Should they back off from the idea of meeting the other Terrans? Five was too many! They had never been with so many people around him before!
That mixed with shame made them feel... miserable. As if from one moment to another everything had collapsed. Their optics were still shining brightly on their terrified face. Deep down they could feel Parthia's effort to calm them down, and they tried to focus on that feeling. Besides, they had to answer Bumblebee, Tech couldn't keep ignoring his questions. What kind of impression we're they giving him?
They released their slightly bruised arms. They sighed and relaxed their face, enough to try to answer, "It's highly unlikely for the two of us to be…siblings. We don't share genetics and we-we're completely different species. I can't deny the bond we have, but our relationship isn't ... So..." Although they tried to concentrate on the matter, they went back to rambling about the new Terrans "... Why-why are there suddenly m-more Terrans?"

She could feel it, the immense fear and anxiety that invaded Tech's spark. How she began to clench her arms tightly. Not while Parthia was around! While subsiding her enthusiasm to calm her girl down, Parthia was also digesting the news of the new Terrans. It was great! Tech would no longer be the youngest/least of the Terrans. And if more were showing up, that meant they wouldn't be the only ones any time soon, and Tech could get used to it better.
But for now, her girl needed a little help. "Honestly, I've never considered the kind of relationship we have. Even though I always wanted an older sister, it doesn't feel that way." She put a finger to her chin. and kept thinking, looking into the distance as she kept close to Tech "Being lovers is obviously out of the question. Friends or best friends sounds so banal. As for family... It feels like family but it's a much higher level, more personal" It was very difficult to categorize their relationship. She simply couldn't compare it with anything humanly known "I just know that... Tech is my Transformer, my Terran" She turned her gaze until she looked at the optics of her beloved spark "And I am Tech's human"

Even now Bumblebee was baffled by Tech's reaction. He would have figured the Terran would have been excited to meet others just like them, but it was like Tech was afraid to do so. Granted, every Terran was different it seemed and it became more obvious with each new Terran created. Twitch and Thrash were like excitable teenagers and Hashtag had fit in with them quite well. Jawbreaker was so uncertain of things but willing to give just about anything a try, but there was Nightshade who not only used pronouns that most Cybertronians had never used before but quickly through themself into their work as a scientist. They'd do Wheeljack proud if they ever met. Still, Tech was very different from the others, but did seem to share some of Jawbreaker's anxieties. Maybe getting those two to meant if they chose to do so wouldn't be such a bad idea.
Or maybe it would. Who could say.
Still, even the way that Parthia described her relationship with Tech was unique as well though it did confuse the Autobot scout a little as he tried to comprehend it. Not friends, but not lovers.. but something more than family? He wasn't sure he really understood but maybe there was some Earth terminology that he didn't know that could answer all their questions. "Well, either way it seems like you two know each other quite well and that's a good thing. You need to protect each other; keep each other safe. If you ever do wanna meet the Maltos and the Maltobots I'd be willing to introduce you." Maltobots.. Rubbing the back of his helm, Bee chuckled. "That's the nickname I've kinda given them. Maltobots just sorta has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?"

"It sounds nice!" She said, giving a thumbs up and smiling widely. She still couldn't believe she was actually talking with a Transformer. It felt like a dream, and she didn't wanted to wake up. Obviously her Terran's feelings were a proof of their reality. She had to stop... Seriously STOP being such a fangirl and start acting like Tech's human partner "It means that Tech is our only Valdibot around." Now that sounded good as well.
Anyways... Malto? If she remembered correctly, that was her history teacher's last name, right? What was his name again? Alan? Alex? Yes, Alex Malto. It... Couldn't be true. Her teacher was actually friends with Bumblebee? And had five Terrans living with him?! She wanted to meet them ALL!
Which reminded her an aspect that she wanted to discuss. Something that Tech and herself had talked about "Bumblebee... I don't know how to thank you for taking care of Tech and teaching her. I only could teach her the basics and what normal population knows about you. But I think it's time for Tech to... Meet the other Terrans"
