Soundwave pulled up beside the large white painted house. The car journey back had been silent again, but this time the silence was heavy and Jazz for once was at a loss what to say.

Soundwave clutched the steering wheel tightly, his processor still spinning. Jazz placed a hand on his shoulder but he hardly registered the touch until Jazz spoke.

'Soundwave, baby, what's wrong?' he asked softly, his servo smoothing circles across his shoulder plating. He looked up to Jazz, fighting hard not to cry or shout or both.

'Hook, school nurse, scrapper only just started high school and Mixmaster sits next to Soundwave in physics...' he trailed off as his optics started leaking, his visor doing nothing to hide the small trails that went down his cheeks.

Jazz wiped them away shushing him 'I can't imagine what they're going to go through, but it wasn't our fault what happened.' he said. Soundwave's fist smashed into the steering wheel.

'Soundwave does know how they'll feel, Rumble and Fren-' Soundwave cut himself off before he started rambling 'they were taken, for three days, Soundwave was told they'd died. Soundwave lucky they were found safe. Constructicon family not as lucky.' he told taking deep vents. He felt like he could trust Jazz with that much of the story.

Jazz continued to stroke his face and soon Soundwave was leaning into the touches. His spark slowing down in its erratic spinning, and his engine started to let out a low purr.

'You don't have to tell me everything, I got the gist of it. Today's been a bit of a mess hu?' he said, a small smile formed on Soundwave's face. His servo let go of the wheel to catch Jazz's chin.

'Not all of today.' he offered shyly, Jazz smiled softly before leaning in to kiss Soundwave, his mask still left on the back seat.

'True, now I really need a drink, I understand if you don't wanna come tonight?' he asked, there was only a few groons left till the victory/losing party.

'Negative, Soundwave will be there, baby sitter already arranged.' he said, he wasn't in a good mood but his anger was being replaced with a more peaceful feeling as he left the car.

Jazz followed him to the boot 'oh good since it'd be a shame if you weren't there, mechs get grabby after a bit of high grade.' he scoffed as he picked up a few boxes.

'Would they leave you alone if Soundwave was present?' he asked his tone a little more dangerous than it was a few seconds ago.

'Hopefully having an ace pitcher on my arm will keep 'em at bay.' he said, flashing his visor in a wink.

'Hi Jazz. Oh hi Soundwave.' Blue cheered as he walked towards them. 'I heard the car pull up, thought you might need a hand?' he asked. Jazz grinned at his friend.

'Yep these two boxes are the uniforms and the bags are the supplies.' he informed the other before loading the blue bots arms with one of the boxes, Bluestreak grabbed one of the bags and hooked it under the box before walking up the patio to the house.

Soundwave felt his phone vibrate and looked at the message, it was a mass text and he scowled at it.

'Warning.' Soundwave said, Jazz turned to him 'parties location and time have been leaked, possibility of gate crashers increased.' he answered handing the phone to Jazz to look at the text.

'WH-what, oh scrap this is bad.' he groaned, looking at the text 'urgh and I know exactly who sent this out!' he said, handing the phone back. 'There's this Autobot named Whirl, he loves to make trouble and has it in for Bluestreak since he rejected him a few months back and everyone knows that Blue's older brothers a stick in the sludge..You remember I said I couldn't be caught at that crime scene?' he asked.

'Affirmative, Jazz mentioned someone named Prowl.' he replied handing Jazz the last box.

'Detective prowl of the homicide squad, well I say squad but Prowl's the only one in it, anyway it would not go well if he found out about the party.' he stressed, Soundwave nodded.

'Prowl is Bluestreak's older brother, graduated a few years back I assume?' he asked, he could run a background check from his computer later, but getting more information from the source was always helpful.

'And Mirage's cousin, and my cousin three times removed, that is my side of the family was removed. Mirage hasn't got a problem with the party but Prowl would bust it up in a spark beat.' he laughed. He wondered if telling Soundwave his family was considered a blight on the others perfect aristocracy was a good idea.

'Understood, Decepticon's have not invited any others and many cliques have been warned against gate crashing, if that helps.' he said, he wondered if it would be ok to kiss him again before he left.

'Megatron's got that kind of power over them?' Jazz asked, Soundwave merely shrugged as he closed the boot. Jazz laughed.

'Tonight's going to be interesting to say the least. See you tonight Soundwave.'


Soundwave got home to the sounds of shouting and the TV volume turned up to blasting, the sound of screeching tires and engines revving filling his small house.

His living room was remarkably free from chemicals and bits of burnt scrap, he thanked Primus for small mercies when he caught sight of the smouldering wreck of a mini shuttle propped up by his back door, at least this time Starscream had brought his own fire extinguisher.

Starscream and Frenzy were racing each other, Starscream was losing and making a point of blaming everything but himself for it.

'This game is stupid.' he cried as he came in twelfth, Frenzy giggled, he caught sight of Soundwave leaning on the door frame and jumped up.

'Hey your back!' he cried, abandoning the game to run over, Rumble joined him in hugging his older brothers waist.

'You took forever?' Rumble dolled, he saw the bags in Soundwave hands 'did you get us anything?' he asked, smiling up to Soundwave.

Soundwave gave them both a bag each. 'Affirmative, go un-pack for Soundwave, do not consume all the goodies.' he said, the twins carried the bags into the kitchen quickly.

When they were out of sight, Soundwave pulled the living room door closed 'Soundwave needs to tell you three something.' he said hushed. The seekers perked up.


'Woah, woah, that can't be right I literally saw Bonecrusher like yesterday, he was talking 'bout some kind of curse or rumour or something?' Skywarp said trying to remember what Bonecrusher had talked about.

'You said the police had found a different body? Well who's?' Starscream asked impatiently, Soundwave sighed, explaining for the third time that he didn't know who the other victim had been.

'Damn, well they're probably not connected, maybe Bonecrusher was into some bad business or something, you guys hear the drug rumour?' Thundercracker added looking around. Soundwave shook his head.

'Bots and Cons alike have been going unconscious, there's already been a few victims come forward but the drug washes the system out completely so its hard to track, one kid's already died of an over dose.' he told the other three.

'Decepticon's should be on alert at the party.' Soundwave said looking at them in turn. 'Autobot's will undoubtedly blame Decepticon's present if any incident occurs.' Starscream scoffed.

'it's probably on of us supplying the drugs anyway.' he joked, even if the joke was probably true.

'Even so, we should be vigilant.' Soundwave finished 'baby sitter should be here soon, seekers can wait and come with Soundwave?' he asked. Skywarp cheered as the other two thanked him.


'N-no way!' Bluestreak cried out, hands cupping his face, 'that's way too much, how could somemecha do that?' he asked, completely outraged. Jazz just nodded vigorously as he put multi coloured streamers to the ceiling lights.

'It's true, me and Soundwave saw the body, it really ruined the mood we had goin.' he huffed as he finished putting the streamers up. Bluestreak gave him a look.

'You should really have your priorities straight Jazz, speaking of which I didn't even know you were interested in Soundwave?' he asked, once the door had been shut Jazz had told him everything, even things Bluestreak was probably better off not hearing.

'Well it's not like I just met him, uhm it's kind of a long story, but I've actually had a crush on him for a while.' he admitted his faceplates burning as he climbed down the step ladder. Bluestreak turned from where he had been putting out cups.

'We've got plenty of time.' he offered, Jazz made a little hmming noise before leaning on the mantelpiece.

'When I lived in Praxus, me and Soundwave used to go to school together. He was really shy and scared of groups of mechs, but I wore him down with my charm and eventually we became inseparable.' Jazz was wringing his hands together and stared off as he remembered how it had taken almost a month for Soundwave to not bolt when Jazz came near. Bluestreak awed at his friend as he started pouring candied energon into bowls.

'We played together every day and I kind of fell in love with him, first childhood crush you know...' his smile faded.

'Until one night he shows up at my house, crying and saying how he was a terrible big brother, I didn't understand why he was so upset so I just told him how wrong he was, Primus, Bluestreak he hadn't stopped talking about his new born brothers at all, he was bringing photos in every day of them.' Jazz sighed, it still tugged at his spark how jealous he had been of the babies, he had been such a spoiled sparkling back then.

'I got through to him, he even made a big show of vowing to be the best big brother in the world.' Blue giggled at the mental image, Jazz hardly ever opened up like this.

'Next day he was gone... The teachers just said he had to move, I went to his house and it was a mess, the door was broken there was scrap everywhere, I got really worried but no one would talk to me. After a while I stopped asking and..just kind of moved on.'

'wow Jazz, I had no idea, but isn't this great, you moved here a year ago and suddenly you find each other, you should tell Soundwave!.' he said jumping on the spot, Jazz's engines hitched.

'No way, that's embarrassing, hey baby guess what I'm totally that little kid you used to hang around with. He didn't even recognise me, so it would be weird to suddenly spring that on him' he said waving his servos around , Bluestreak groaned.

'He already seems to like you, finding out your his childhood friend can't hurt your chances.' Bluestreak left the living room to help Grimlock with the stair decorations.

Jazz pondered on the thought, was it worth telling Soundwave and hope it lead somewhere or should he just wait it out to make sure Soundwave was still the mech he had loved before?


'ERRBODY IN THE CLUB GETTIN TIPPSY!' the music blasted through the house as mechs crowded around the hallway. The living room was over flowing with gyrating mechs, their cups of energon raised high in the air as they danced along with the music.

'Blaster great sound system.' Hound complimented as he watched his lover and the rest of his team try to out dance each other.

'No problem, Hound. I still feel like the oldest person here though. What's the party even for?' he asked downing the rest of his high-grade.

'Weelll it was suppose to either be our victory party or our 'we gave it our best shot' party, but we lost and we invited the cons so it's kinda their party.' Hound looked out the open door again, checking his chronometer, he pursed his lips.

'If they ever show up that is, also the cheerleaders said something about a dare earlier and they all disappeared.' he lamented 'you have no idea how many people have been asking me if they're gonna dance.' he groaned. Blaster just laughed at his younger friends life problems.


Soundwave pulled up and vented loudly as he turned off the radio. Starscream had taken over the radio and had been playing nothing but his science journal audio -recording. Even his brothers had started to get bored and they tumbled out of the car.

AstroTrain pulled up next in his beaten taxi cab. 'GET THE FRAG OUT OF MY CAR!' Soundwave cringed, they had started calling AstroTrain 'taxi driver' again. It was the one thing that really pissed him off.

Vortex, Blitzwing and Onslaught piled out of the car and headed towards the seekers and Soundwave.

'So we going in or what?' Vortex cried, holding two kegs of energon under his arms, AstroTrain glared at him.

'We have to wait for Megatron.' he replied while locking his car. 'I swear to Primus, my ride gets towed you're paying to get it back Vortex!' said Con spun around, the Energon under his arms made sloshing movements that made the others take a step back.

'Why me?' he cried out, Blitzwing face palmed, the mech just couldn't keep his mouth shut.

'Because you were so fragging annoying I had to park quick or risk strangling you.' Astro answered walking past him to stand by the rest of the Decepticon's.

'Now now sparklings let's play nice.' they turned to see Megatron walk towards them, the group huddled together in a circle.

'You parked round back by the back door didn't you?' Starscream asked even if he knew the answer.

'Old habits die hard I guess, now let's go over the plan.' he said, Onslaught looked around the group.

'Hey ain't we missing DreadWing?' he asked, Megatron nodded as the rest of the team caught up to their missing team mate.

'He's got his flier test tomorrow, so he cant get drink,' Megatron supplied, Starscream huffed.

'I would have been the first seeker in the group to get my license if it wasn't for the weather.' he yacked to the others, no one paid him any attention though.

'The cheerleaders got the outfits Soundwave?' Megatron asked, he looked over and could see some bots staring at them, whispering to each other and pointing.

'Affirmative, also any moves made on Autobot Jazz will not be tolerated.' he threatened. The others looked at him and oohed and whistled at him.

'Something good happen today?' Megatron asked, Soundwave merely shrugged. 'Very well, also the little blue mech, Bluestreak, he's my target tonight, the rest are free game, I see any of you making an aft of yourself I'll personally throw you out and I swear to Primus any of you get the cops called on us I will break you!'


'I hate my life, this outfit is disgusting, someone put me out my misery.' Sunny wailed as he begrudgingly pulled the skirt up, his brother karate chopped him on the head.

'Don't be such a sparkling we're literally gonna do one cheer for them and then we'll be gone.' he said as he adjusted the sleeves.

'I kinda like it.' Blue offered, smoothing the cotton over his chest. Sunny gave him a stern look of 'better like mine better!' Blue swallowed and added a quick 'but not as much as your outfits 'Sunstreaker.'

'Hey Jazz you've been awfully quiet?' Bumblebee asked, the squad turned to Jazz who was staring wistfully out the window, he snapped back to attention and smiled.

'Sorry Bee, just thinking' is all.' he assured his friend, Blue flashed him a knowing grin and made to go downstairs.

'They should be here by now, let's go show them the Autobot's aren't cowards.' he said nervously making small fists pumps to the squad.

They giggled at him but followed suit.


'Is this really a good idea guys?' Fulcrum asked as he followed the band of misfits he called friends. Misfire looked over his shoulder, a large smile on his face and a bag full of fireworks.

'Relax Fulcrum, they tell us to leave we will' he said, he turned to their de facto leader Krok, who gave them an indifferent shrug of his shoulders, Fulcrum sighed, trying to look inconspicuous.

They managed to get in with only a few way ward glances, but the party was already at full swing and he noticed the Baseball teams immediately. They were mixing pretty well but there seemed to be a tension in the air already.

Fulcrum looked around and found that he'd already been abandoned. He spotted Misfire trying to flirt with two very pretty femmes and decided he'd rather be away from that train wreck waiting to happen.

'It's ok Fulcrum, just get a drink, find a corner and wait it out till the others get bored.' he sighed turning to get a drink when he bumped chin first into somemech much, much larger than himself.

'S-sorry about that.' he stammered 'frag what was that about staying coo-oh no!' he scolded himself as he looked up to the Autobot, he was taller than everyone else and Fulcrum had to tilt his head to look at him properly, he looked down to see the larger mech holding two cups of energon.

'Urgh sorry you were taking that for someone- I'll get out of the way.' he tried to step sideways but the big mech followed him, fulcrum stopped and tried sidestepping the other way...no luck the big guy was blocking his path in the hallway.

'Me, Grimlock.' Fulcrum swallowed harshly, this was the part where he was beaten up, first time they had announced who they were before hand but first time for everything.

'Me, Grimlock bring energon for pretty bot' he trilled, handing the red cup to Fulcrum, he took it hastily, his confusion growing, maybe he wasn't gonna get beaten up.

'Uh I'm Fulcrum, nice to meet you.' he smiled up at the over sized autobot, 'wait did he say pretty?' even with the large mask on Grimlock beamed down at him, his tail swinging side to side lazily and he managed to knock over a vase. He turned to look at it for a few seconds before one of the team shouted that it was ok.

'Fulcrum, pretty name. Grimlock show Fulcrum around?' he asked bending over so his face was closer to Fulcrum and one large arm rested against the staircase, trapping the mech in place.

'Ugh sure sounds lovely.' he said, if he survived tonight he was going to give himself a medal.
