Author's Note: First I do not own Transformers or anything you recognize from it. Secondly I don't own the idea of being replaced by a chinchilla either. That belongs to a friend of mine with a crazy sense of humor. Enjoy!
Chinchillas
"Remember at any moment you can be replaced by a chinchilla."
"What?" Jazz stared after the retreating form of Will Lennox, commander of the humans at the NEST base. Lennox didn't even respond to Jazz's question; he just kept walking. Jazz shook his head and wandered off to find the two sets of twins, deciding it wasn't worth thinking about. He was wrong.
"So have you talked to Lennox lately?" Sideswipe asked when Jazz finally found him.
"Yes..." Jazz admitted warily.
"Did he say anything strange to you?" Sunstreaker asked and Jazz began to get a sinking feeling of being tricked by some higher power.
"Yes..."
"What exactly did he say?" Sideswipe demanded.
"Only that at any moment I could be replaced by a chinchilla," Jazz admitted.
"You too," Sunstreaker groaned.
"That's you, me, Sunny, Mudflap, and Skids he's told," Sideswipe said. The two sets of twins and Jazz exchanged puzzled and slightly irritated glances.
"What exactly is a chinchilla anyway?" Jazz asked finally. It didn't take long to find out. "Lennox is going to replace me, Skids, Mudflap, Sunny, and Sides with little rodents!"
"What exactly is going on?" Optimus Prime asked. He wasn't expecting the instantaneous answer he got.
"Lennox is going to replace Skids, Mudflap, Sunny, Sides, and I with chinchillas," Jazz said. Not far away in the med bay Ratchet and Will exchanged glances, trying not to laugh.
As the group moved away from the med bay Ratchet said, "I think it was a good idea."
"Sarah does too when Annabelle gets upset," Will said with a laugh.
Somewhere peaceful and solitary on Diego Garcia Optimus Prime was asking one very important question. "What exactly is a chinchilla anyway?"
