Okay as promised I am uploading chapters 14 and 15, since they both deal with the Christmas party. So enjoy!


For the next two weeks leading up to the Christmas party, the three teens had decorate the base with the help of the autobot's. Christmas lights and decorations had gone up in almost every inch of the walls and rooms you entered, even Optimus allowed them to decorate his office.

There was a gigantic Christmas tree in the rec room, the three deciding that they only needed one since there were too many rooms to put a tree in each. Sideswipe had taken it upon himself to place mistletoe about the base, so that anyone who walked under it had to kiss.

Alex had laughed when Mikaela was caught under it unfortunately with a recently released Red Alert. Sideswipe wouldn't let the two go until they kissed, one Mikaela didn't like after seeing the security directors holoform. She had quickly pecked him on the cheek and all but sprinted out of the room, not being seen for a few hours.

Alex herself was caught under one with Sunstreaker, the two only being separated when Ratchet walked in and tripped over the yellow mech's prone body.

The night before the party Alex was walking around the base humming a tune to herself, while her guardian was on duty. So immersed in her humming that she didn't hear the footsteps of an autobot behind her until he spoke.

"What's crackin?"

A small scream emitted from her as she jumped high, twirling around to find Jazz smiling down at her. "You scared the hell out of me Jazz," she huffed placing a hand over her racing heart. "What do you want?"

He shrugged bending down and picking her up, before placing her on his shoulder. "Nothing, just walking around you?" asking as he began walking again.

Alex mimicked his shrug. "Just walking."

"Will you be happy to see your family again?" he asked as he took a turn down another hallway.

Alex realized they were at the quarters to where the officers recharge as she answered the question. "Yeah, it's been a few month's since I've seen them and I miss my little brother Cam."

He nodded his head stopping outside his quarters, typing in the code as it hissed opened. Jazz room was a lot more cheerful then Prowl's when she had first visited the second in command.

The saboteur had a recharge berth, a desk practically nothing on it and a shelf with a stereo system filled with tons of cds. When he had been brought back Jazz had instantly indulged himself in human culture, learning anything and everything he could about it.

He had come to like music the best and was even happy when there was a genre named after him, although Sam had pointed out that it wasn't named after him entirely

Jazz put her down on his berth and went over to his sound system, shifting through the many cds. He finally picked one placing it into the slot as soft music filled the room. He came back over and sat on the berth besides her, leaning his back against the wall.

"I brought you here for a reason Alex and I need some answers." He told her bluntly.

She held back a snort. "I kind of figured that."

He frowned. "I need you help." She looked curious. "Ever since Ratchet brought me back, I've notice some changes in the others, especially Prowl. Back when we were on Cybertron he and I would always hangout when we weren't on shifts."

"We would often just talk about things unrelated to the war or laugh at the pranks the twins used to pull on the others, when they weren't meant for us. Now though, now it's like he's avoiding me altogether."

A soft sigh left his intakes, making Alex feel a little sad for him. "The only time I really spoke to him was when you had ordered him to see Ratchet and even then I only got two words out of him. Please Alex, tell me what is wrong with him. He's my friend and I don't like to see him in trouble." He pleaded.

Alex bit her lip in an attempt to stop herself from telling him why. That didn't mean she wasn't going to give Prowl a taste of her mind, when she finished talking with Jazz first. She knew exactly why Prowl was avoiding his friend, but she knew she could not betray his trust either.

Which put her in a little dilemma, sitting before Jazz, contemplating what to say to the saboteur. Alex wondered if asking Jazz what his feelings towards the tactician would make the silver mech angry.

There was only one way to find out. "Jazz, what are your feelings towards Prowl?"

Alex was walking through the base once again heading to the human quarters intent on getting some sleep before the party tomorrow. She hadn't intended to spend four hours talking to Jazz and plotting for something she knew she was going to get in trouble for later.

A smile found it's way to her lips as the conversation with the saboteur came back to her, passing by the security room.

"What pray tell has you so happy?" someone asked her slightly amused.

She turned to see her guardian Sunstreaker leaning casually against the doorway of the room, smirking down at her. Attempting to cross her own arms over her chest she replied. "Aren't you suppose to be on duty right now." She challenged.

He took it, his holoform appearing right in front of her. "I am, but a certain someone is wondering around outside the door, looking rather devious." He continued to smirk in a sultry voice. "It's hard to concentrate when a pretty girl is walking around the base all alone."

He pulled her in closer to him, his arms circling around her waist. Alex gave him a hurt expression. "You only think I'm pretty, well then if you'll excuse me. I have somewhere to be." She made to back away, but he tightened his grip around her, leaving no space.

"Maybe pretty was a little weak, how about beautiful," he whispered bringing his lips down upon hers.

She couldn't help but relax against him as she brought both her arms up around his and kissed back. Her hands tangled into his blonde hair, relinquishing in the feel of it, as his lips found their way down to her neck.

"SUNSTREAKER, RETURN TO YOUR POST NOW!"

Both jumped apart, breathing heavily as they took in the newcomer. There standing a few feet from the doorway was Prowl, who seemed to be holding himself in check as he glared at the yellow mech. Sunstreaker turned back to her, kissing one last time as his holoform disappeared and he trudge back into the security room.

Meanwhile, Alex and Prowl were having a glare down as they stood in the same spot for a good while. He was first to move, turning away and walking back the way he had come. She scowled after him, clearly not at all happy with him as she turned and finished her trek to the human quarters.

Waking the next morning she stretched looking at her watch, seeing that she had twenty minutes to get ready and go see Ratchet. She spared a glance at her wrapped arm, wanting nothing more then to have the cast gone.

Finishing her morning routine she sprinted to the med bay, not meeting anyone on the way there, knocking on the doors. They opened and Alex walked in and over to the office where the medic was.

He was in there obviously looking for something. "Um, Ratchet," she said uncertainty. He stopped and turned towards her, before resuming his searching throwing his datapads aside. Alex winced when one of them shattered. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" she screamed, when another followed the first.

Ratchet continued his search completely ignoring her as he went to one of his cabinets and begun searching through it. "I've found it," exclaiming a few minutes later.

Alex watched as he pulled a box out of the bottom of the cabinet, holding it up in front of him and began scanning it. Crossing her arms over her chest and glared at him. "Mind telling me why you destroyed half your office just for a box," she inquired.

He shook his head placing the box on his desk and then looking around his office as if just realizing what damaged he had just done. "I'll clean it up later," holding out his hand for her.

She climbed on as he walked out and into the bay, placing her on one of the berths, his holoform instantly appearing when he did. Alex waited patiently as he scanned over her mending arm.

"They are mending right and you should have the cast off in another three month's or so." He told her.

"Thanks," she smiled. "But I rather have the stupid thing off now. It's a pain when I have to itch and can't reach it."

"Yes well, that's not something I can deal with unfortunately." He turned as the doors to his bay opened and in walked Sunstreaker and Sideswipe. Alex gave them both a smile while Ratchet only scowled.

"You had better not have done something, or so help me I will weld your afts to the ceiling." The growl emitted from him made all three step back a step or two."

Sideswipe smiled. "Now Hatchet, when have you ever known us to do something." Alex then knew that something was up otherwise the red Lamborghini wouldn't have said that.

"When have I not," the medic growled again.

As soon as he fell silent though did a very big boom shake the base, sending Alex onto her side as she stared at the other three. Ratchet looked ready to pounce while Sunstreaker and Sideswipe were attempting to get as far away from the medic as possible.

The doors to the med bay opened and all four turned to stare or gape in Alex's opinion at what looked like a poorly disguised Ironhide.

He took to steps into the room, followed by Prowl who seemed to be holding the weapon specialist in place with a stern look. But Alex wasn't fooled as she saw his doorwings twitch ever so slightly trying to hide his obvious amusement at the situation

She couldn't blame his though, the sight of the once black mech was truly something to behold. Ironhide was no longer black but painted red and white in what she assumed to be a Santa suit.

His feet were made to look like boots, his head though that was another story. It seemed the twins had stuck a specially made Santa hat on his head, with a bell at the end. On his face he had white bushy eyebrows over his optics and a white mustache and beard over his mouth.

Alex couldn't help it anymore; the sight of him was just too much for her as she fell to her knees laughing. She had missed the threat Ironhide had given her guardian and his brother, the two leaving with Prowl trailing behind them.

Only when her laughing had subsided did she look up to see a still scowling Ironhide, while Ratchet was busy getting few things ready to get the weapon specialist back to normal.

Quickly, she dug out her phone and without raising suspicion; she took a picture storing it for later as Ratchet walked over to her. He picked her up and carried her out the door as she waved, the door shutting after he walked back in.

Grinning, she took out her phone and began sending the picture to Sam and Mikaela, whom she knew would be rolling around on the ground in laughter. Indeed, when she walked into the rec room a few minutes later Sam was pounding the floor with his fist, while his girlfriend was trying desperately not to fall out of the chair.

Bumblebee, Mirage, Bluestreak, Inferno and Blaster were looking quite panicked at the humans behavior. Bumblebee spotted her instantly upon entering the room. He knelt down so that he was somewhat lever with her.

"What is wrong with them?" indicating to his charge.

She gave him a reassuring smile. "Don't worry Bee, they're perfectly fine. Just something funny came up and they are laughing because of it." Bumblebee gave her a grateful look standing back up as the two teens finally calmed down.

"Oh my god," gasped Sam, taking several deep breaths. "That was absolutely the best thing I've seen in a long time."

Alex grinned bowing to both her friends as all three burst into laughter once again. Picking up her phone she then proceeded to send the picture out to the other autobot's and another boom shook the base. The autobot's in the rec room got the picture and all but fell to the floor themselves as their laughing was heard.

By the time she had gotten to the fridge for something to eat and was about to sit down, when both Prowl and Jazz walked through the doorway together. "STOP!" she cried.

Everyone turned towards her as the two mechs stopped eying her curiously. Grinning, she pointed her hand up above the doorway and everyone's eyes and optics turned that way.

Alex watched cautiously, as a fearful look came over Prowl's face, while Jazz seemed to be hiding a smile. "Time to kiss up gentlemen," Alex smiled at them.

Prowl looked quite horrified, while Jazz was looking at his friend with a longing expression in his visor. "It's tradition, you get caught under the mistletoe you have to kiss the person, or mech under it with you."

The tactician still looked horrified, his whole body tense and she was beginning to wonder if he fritz his battle computer. "Should I call Ratchet?" she asked when neither had moved.

Jazz looked to her, shaking his head and placing a hand atop of his friends shoulder. This seemed to snap the black and white mech out of his state, as he turned blue optics to Jazz who chose that moment to lean in.

Everyone held his or her breaths as Jazz gently kissed Prowl, who seemed to stun to kiss back. The kiss ended quickly and Jazz walked away to the energon dispenser, sending Alex a wink as he filled a cure for himself. He calmly made his way to the other five taking a seat at the table and began idly chatting with Bumblebee.

Alex continued to watch Prowl carefully as he became aware of where he was and what had just occurred. He snapped his optics to her instantly and she could tell he was truly upset with her.

He turned and left before she could say anything to him, Alex picking up her phone and texting him. But he had put up a blocking system. Slamming the phone down in frustration she stomped out of the rec room, leaving her untouched food behind.

Having no idea as to where she was going she found herself somehow outside the base, although only by a few feet, knowing she wasn't permitted to go much further.

"You look upset." Someone spoke behind her. Alex turned and saw Skyfire, one of the four besides Brawn, Perceptor and Springer to have made it to earth recently.

"Prowl's being an ass," she grumbled looking back over the desolate landscape.

"I see," was all he said as he walked past her. She watched him as he changed into his gigantic plane alt mode and took off where an F-22, she knew to be Air Raid flew up to meet him.

Skyfire and Air Raid were to fly to the human base to pick up those who had been invited to the party later tonight.

Alex watched them until they disappeared from sight, before walking back inside.

Author Notes: Woot, one chapter down and one more to go. Well not really there still more to the story, but as far as the Christmas party. Please review, it would be appreciated.
