The Full Book
Ok this is the second one. So remember how I said that Morgz ate a kid? Well that was just a dream! Bumblebee was so shaken by this dream that he woke up and screamed. Pink ranger asked if he was ok and he said no because he had a dream that Morgz ate one of their kids. “But honey, Morgz’s mouth is too small to eat one of our kids!” Pink ranger says laughing. Bumblebee realizes this and also laughingly. They laugh so hard that they bump into each other and kiss. Just like in the last book! Woah! But now they don’t need to go to the hospital because the bump is small.

The next beautiful morning, all seven of their kids wake up and cry. Barry, Bernard, Bell, Beauty, Beast, Billy, and Bariumista storm into the stormy kitchen and conjure a storm of stormy emotions stormfully. Also, it was storming outside. Bernard throws a fork at the wall and then ponders the meaning of life. Beauty and Beast stare into each other's eyes and then decide that love is meaningless and rob a bank. Barry is a bee, as most children would say. Finally, Bell slaps Bariumista into the couch and the couch falls apart so hard that it breaks.

Bumblebee and Pink ranger don’t know what to do with these brats! They yell at them to stop, but they do it harder. The whines and shines get so loud that the neighbors come over and investigate. They burst through the door and pull out their flashlights. They shine them around the room and find the kids playing Just Dance 2017 on the Wii. But, the parents are locked up in the closet!

“Why are you in the closet?” Mr. Neighbor asks. “The kids put us in here!” Bumblebee says sorry. “They are so mean to us!” Pink ranger says sadly. They are so sad. They kiss to get happier. But, it doesn’t help much. It helps a little, cause, well, I mean, kissing is epic, but they are still locked in the closet, which isn’t that epic cause one time I was locked in a closet and it was not fun. Kissing Pink ranger would’ve made me feel better though.

Mr. Neighbor tries to unlock the closet, but the kids throw him out the window. Pink ranger then uses her cyan blast to destroy the closet, but accidentally destroys Bariumista too! Oh no! All the kids turn and look at their mom. The mom cheers and does an epic dance. Bumblebee is sitting and questioning the morality of his wife’s decision. But then they kiss, so it’s cool.

The seven kids pull out their water guns and shoot Bumblebee. Bumblebee and Pink ranger escape from the house, which has been turned into a giant robot by the kids so they can take over the world! All the kids except for Bernard and Bariumista. Bariumista is gone, but Bernard left that morning after throwing a fork on the wall. He was still pondering life.

He thought to himself: “Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide… no escape from reality.” But then, Morgz came up to him and profoundly profounded, “Open your eyes! Look up to the skies and see!” “But I’m just a poor boy; I need no sympathy,” Bernard cried. Morgz then threw Bernard up into the sky so he could see. When he reached the sky, he saw a dove! The dove had a picture of Chris Pratt. Chris Pratt came out of the picture and turned into Tom Holland. “Why are you sad?” Tom Holland asked while turning into Chris Evans. “I don’t know what to do with my life,” Bernard replied. While Chris Evans turned into Benedict Cucumber, he said, “You should become Batman!” Bernard thought this was a genius idea and turned into Batman.

Meanwhile, Bumblebee and Pink ranger went to the White House to get help to stop their kids. Obama was sitting in the oval office drinking some coffee. He likes coffee. Then, Bumblebee and Pink ranger asked him, “Can you help us stop our kids from taking over the world? They turned our house into a giant robot!” “Ahh, yes, I see, that is quite bad on a level of good to bad,” Obama weeped. “Yes, I will help you out by giving you all lightsabers in the shape of my face! I call them… Obamasabers!” Bumblebee and Pink ranger take the Obamasabers and destroy the house robot. The kids get mad and turn into werewolves. They rip apart the Obamasabers, but Pink ranger uses her tangerine blast to wipe them all out! So now all of their kids are gone. Except Bernard! “Where is Bernard?” Bumblebee says. Benedict Cucumber comes down from the heavens and turns into Robert Dairy Junior to answer their question. “He has turned into Batman to find meaning in life,” Robert Dairy Junior swims to the edge of the world. “Ahh, that makes sense. I knew he would do that one day,” Pink ranger cheers. “Let’s go see how he’s doing and make sure he isn’t trying to take over the world,” Bumblebee says statingly.

When they find Bernard, he is in a Batman suit pondering life. “How’s it going being Batman, son?” Bumblebee says. “I’m not okay, I’m just good at pretending I am,” Bernard moans, “I thought that being Batman would give me purpose. You know, serving justice on the streets of Metropolis. Maybe make up for my past mistakes. I was a brat as a child. I did so many cruel things with my siblings. But, when I threw that fork on the wall, I suddenly received the thought: what’s the point of this? Why must I bring misery upon my poor parents? Is this what I’ve become? Why all this needless pain and suffering? I looked to find forgiveness for my past. Morgz told me to look at the sky, and then even threw me up there. I found Chris Pratt, or Chris Evans, or Benedict Cucumber, I honestly don’t know. But he said that this would help me. That obtaining a career fighting against the evils I once supported would reconcile my mistakes. But, has it? I still did those things. History cannot be erased. I still threw that fork on the wall, and the world will never be the same. Does me doing justice now make up for the lack of justice then? Is there any way to obtain full forgiveness for my past?”

Bumblebee and Pink ranger sit there, not comprehending the wisdom that their son now bestowed. “I don’t know, just keep being Batman or something,” Bumblebee said. Then they all go to McDonalds, and Bernard never finds the answer. I mean, is there one? The end.

Reception
The book received warm reactions upon its release, with the general consensus being that it's a satisfying follow-up but not as good. The book did introduce many fan favorite characters, such as Bernard and Obama, but many were disappointed that the rest of Bumblebee's kids were killed off so early. However, Bernard's monologue about forgiveness won the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award for Deepest Thing, beating out Billie Eyelash. Many users commented kind words on Scratch:
