Title: Go Fish

Summary: Jade is trying to flirt with Jazz again. although this time, the story didn't go quite the way I had planned. Takes place on New Years Eve, 1990, one year after "Shameless Fangirling".

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The rec room was alive with voices and music when Jade walked in. She smirked at the Christmas decorations that were still up. "I guess they're going to wait till next year to take them down." she smirked. Considering the new year started in about three hours, it wasn't very long. She caught sight of the twins sitting at a table with Ratchet, Wheeljack, and Jazz.

She went to the dispenser and got a cube of energon "I just know Sunny's got some of that high-grade stashed away, and he's going to just insist I take a shot." she thought. She couldn't stand the stuff, it was like whiskey would be to humans, but if she had an energon cube, she could just pour the shot into her drink. She waltzed over, giving everyone at the table a sweet smile. "Hi guys, whatchya doin?" she asked.

"Hi." came the replies.

Wheeljack looked at his cards "go fish."

Ratchet groaned and reached for the pile. Jade laughed. "You're playing "Go Fish?" She sat down between Jazz and Sideswipe. "What's wrong, run out of credits for poker?" she snickered.

"No. We just decided to find something new to play." sunstreaker replied, reaching for his barrel. "Aaaand... here we go!" Jade thought, taking the proffered shot and pouring it into her drink. She nodded. "Can I get in one the nxt round?" the others shrugged. "Sure"

----------------------------------

Three hands later.
Jade grinned and looked over her cards coyly at Sunstreaker across from her."Gimme a four."

Sunstreaker glanced at Jazz and Sideswipe. "Go fish."

"Drat!"

The jet leaned back and stretched as Sideswipe took his turn. She knew it was a terribly obvious move, but held onto her cards with her right hand and draped her left one across Jazz's shoulders as she stretched. Ratchet glanced up, then back down at his cards. "Don't let Prowl catch you doing that."

"Oh?" Jade gave the black and white next to her a glance "Why not?" She grinned mischeviously. Ratchet took another shot of high-grade. "Because he found out about you two last year, and was none-too-happy about it."

Jade eeped and removed her arm. "Whattya mean he found out!?" The CMO looked up and shrugged. "He knew about it because A. they're bonded, so one knows what the other's doing all the time, and B. because Jazz told him."

Jade looked at him suprisedly. "He allready knew when I told 'Im. The second you walked out of our quarters he asked me 'bout it." Jazz put in.

Sideswipe and Sunstreaker looked at each other. "How's come we didn't know?" Sideswipe asked jokingly. Jade glared. "Well I didn't get yelled at or anything. So that's good."

She turned back to the game. Jazz added "No, but he said since we were both really drunk, it probly didn't matter." Jade threw the requested card over to Wheeljack. "No wonder I got stuck with monitor duty and nightshift gaurding." she frowned.

The game continued on for another round, and Jazz got up. "I'm gonna put on some more music." Jade started to get up, too. "I'm gonna get another round of drinks. Anyone else need one?" She asked. "Sure." came the answer. The jet started to get up, and cursed inwardly. That high-grade was allready starting to effect her balance. She would have hit the floor, had the person next to her not caught her. "Heh. you okay?" Jazz grinned. Jade smiled. Their faces were just so much apart. she could practically lean in and kiss him.

Unfortunately, Prowl chose that very moment to walk in. Jade glanced over. "I'm fine, thanks." she said quickly, and wobbled to the dispenser. Prowl gave her a curious look and went over to one of the other tables to talk to Trailbreaker and Hound about their patrol routes and lack of reports. They had been taking too many offroading trips in their spare time, and it was starting to get expensive for repair parts and things like that.

Jade leaned against the dispenser, watching the tactician walk away. She jabbed the button for a cube. "Can't do anything to me for just flirting." she groused. She turned and stumbled back to the table, almost falling onto it. Jazz and Sideswipe each grabbed an arm, and Sideswipe helped her sit.

"Thanks." she mumbled, looking at the table. She sat down the cubes, picked up the deck, glanced at Prowl, then glanced at Jazz. "Just wait till he leaves." she though, smirking. She shuffled the cards. "So, who's up for another round?" she asked.

--------------------------------------------

Yeah, I know. Jade's a shameless flirt sometimes. Not that it gets her anywhere though. grins Reviews are appreciated. Thanks!
