Jazz's Pov
"Aw, don't look so glum Jazz man. Being a cat isn't so bad."
"Well that's easy for ya to say Mint. I ain' never been anythin' organic before."
I said as I tried to climb up his tower. Apparently I have no special abilities to aid in that endeavor. "Jazz, try using your claws while jumping." Celeste said from where she was going through her box of "Minty care items". I tried to do what she asked and I found it easy for a whole klik, then I nearly fell off only for soft warm hands to catch me. "Easy there Jazzy, don't want you to take a spill." She said as she helped me up to the tower. "This totally sucks!" Sides whined from below me.
"Says you. Personally I'm okay with this little scenario." Minty purred from where he laid next to me. "Of course you are! Only a filthy animal could be happy about us becoming filthy animals." Sunstreaker sneered from where he laid next to Sides. "That was rude!"
"I'm sorry, cat. But I prefer the finer things in life. And those things aren't stupid fluffy castles and kitty kibble!"
"That's it! BANZAIIII!"
He shouted as he jumped from his perch with his claws drawn landing on the twins. After that the three became a whirl wind of hissing and growling as Minty fought the two into submission. Celeste eventually pulled Minty off the twins who were still hissing and snarling and making funny noises.
"What the pit! You two sound hilarious!" Bee laughed from where he sat next to me. "Minty, that wasn't very nice."
"They started it! I was ending it."
"Look, I really don't need you brawling with the others."
"And I won't, so long as they understand that this is our house, and they will treat us with respect." He said firmly as she put him down. "All right. But if I see you three brawling again, know that no treats will be coming your way."
She said as she went back to what she was doing. Minty decided to come back up to our current perch, while Ratchet and Ironhide started lecturing the two. Surprisingly, Optimus decided to join us.
"I would like to apologize for what the twins did. I hope that they haven't caused any form of damage to you."
"It's, okay. I'm fine, and I'm not mad at any of you guys, I get it. It's hard being something you're not. I'm just mad at them for insulting my tower, because its new, and because of the fact that they made me fat and never apologized. I know it seems petty, but-
"Heh, petty?"
"Anyway, putting on all that weight wasn't fun, not to forget to mention that it made me scared that Celeste would actually try to kill me."
He said dryly as something began to happen. I can't explain it, it feels and sounds like something is inside of me, but it…its angry. "Uhhh, I think somethin's wrong."
"Jazz? What seems to be the problem?"
"Prime…somethin's happenin' in my chest."
"I better have a look at you. Get down from there!"
"Hold on there, Doctor Mc Fluffy paws. I think I know what's wrong with him."
"Nonsense. The change could be affecting his internals."
"Just hold on for a second okay? Thank you! Now, Jazz is your strange feeling towards your front middle or your back end?"
"What has that got to do with scrap?!"
"Easy! Don't get your non-existent tail in a twist! Now Jazz, where is your feeling and may I hear it?"
"Uh. Sure…in the front middle I think."
"Good, now hold still for just a moment." He said as he scooted under me and pressed an ear to my tummy (which felt really weird) and began murmuring quietly. "Well?!"
"Oh I have a simple diagnosis. Jazz, you're hungry." He said with a snort as he jumped off his tower and landed on his feet before he took off looking for Celeste. Looking at Bee, I shrugged and jumped down, only not to land on my feet but to roll and land on my belly. "Nice dismount Jazz!" Bee laughed from where he was jumping from his perch to Celeste's bed then to the floor. I watched as Optimus did the same only he walked over to a pillow and sat on it. "Okay boys, I have to go get some more food from storage. Behave, and if anything is clawed beyond repair, I will shave you bald." She said as walked out the door. Minty on the other hand rolled his eyes as he walked over to his care box and climbed into it. "It'll be forever and a half by the time that she gets back here!"
"So? Not like we can change that Mint man."
"Oh yes we can Jazz! Behold the glory of treats!" He said happily as he tried to nudge a positively huge bag of cat treats out of the box. After Ironhide and I helped him push it out, it was the simple task of opening it, which the twins made easy with their claws. From there we basically feasted. Cat treats are odd. Not bad, but not good either. I mean that they mostly tasted well, meaty. But I will say that they were good enough for us to rip through another nine bags.
"I'm back- Ah really?"
"Ohhhh. I feel strange." Bee moaned from where he was laying belly up next to an empty bag.
"Those weren't half bad." Hide said between licks of his bag. "Indeed. Though I fear we may have spoiled our dinner." Optimus sighed happily. Celeste stared at Minty with a look that said, "you are so wrong."
"Why…(yawn) why do I feel so tired?" I whined. "That's what happens when you eat so much. Don't fight it, just enjoy a nice warm cat nap." Celeste said as she began cleaning up the bags.
Cat naps are amazing! Oh Primus I feel so rested! No wonder cats sleep during the day so much, it was nice and warm. And then after our naps Minty showed us his best toys. Sunny and Sides weren't interested at first, until Celeste distracted them with a laser pointer. Apparently, they can scale walls when they really want to. Ratchet was enjoying the catnip ball (which is like the weed of the cat world apparently, since he got so sentimental) me, I like the pouncing toys. It's actually fun trying to catch the little feather thing. Most of us liked playing with the pouncing toys, even Optimus left his perch to come play. That's really all we did the first day, eat sleep and play. This is the most sleep that some of us have gotten in a long time! The only downside is that…well…we don't burn energy cleanly. We never had bladders or intestines before…so yeah that's something new. Bee was the first to experience potty training and he was freaked out at first, hell all of us were. I mean we never really have anything to come out of our afts…so suddenly having an urge to…well…go was unique. But on the Brightside, we all now know how to use the toilet.
"Ya live a charmed life Mint man."
"Thanks Jazz. To be honest, as charmed as it is, it gets a little lonely."
"How so?" Optimus asked. "Well, before you guys got turned into cats, I really had no one to talk to. I mean I have Replenish, and he's a great friend, but sometimes I wish I had others of my own species to talk to."
"I got ya. Man, must be hard to be the only cat on base."
"It is and it isn't. I mean, I get all the attention I want, but at the same time I feel left out because you guys can't understand me half the time. Replenish is the closest thing I have for a translator."
"I am sorry. I was unaware of your plight, but now I fully understand. Perhaps I will have Wheeljack create a device that will allow you to better speak with us. If that would make you happy."
"Thank you Optimus. I would really appreciate that." He said while he stretched. Of course just when the good times begin to roll, someone has to ruin it. And that someone is the twins. "AAAGGGHHH! WHAT THE PIT! MY COAT!" Sunny shouted as Sides jumped on a bottle of what looks like glitter glue splattering it all over his twin and us. Before any of us could stop him, Sunny turned the bottle around and splattered Sides with the glue. "Oh no. This is bad. So so so bad!" Minty moaned from where he stood looking around and the huge glittery mess. "WHAT THE PIT WERE YOU TWO FRAGGERS THINKING?!" Ratchet snarled as he tackled the two. "Oh no. Oh no. Oh no no no!"
"Easy Mint man. Everythin' is gonna be okay."
"No, no it isn't. Jazz, we're cats! When our coats get messy- "
"Oh gross! I really don't think that this stuff would taste good!"
"Exactly. Which means that Celestial has to get it off for us!"
"And that's bad because?"
"Oh, I dunno sunflower, could be the fact that 95 percent of our bodies are covered in hair, and when we get wet it is extremely uncomfortable!"
He said as he dashed under her bed. Hearing the door knob turn, I ran under the bed to hide too. Minty and I heard a gasp, followed by a very long line of loudly spoken swear words. She is not happy about this. This isn't good, she just grabbed the twins by their scruffs and pulled them into the bathroom. Optimus, Ratchet, and Ironhide followed them as Replenish squealed mischievously from where he must have been in the bathroom. "So, yer 'fraid o' water?"
"No, not really. I just hate how nasty a bath feels. Having said that, you'd probably like it. If what Celeste says is true. I mean she pines for you all the time and…oh no. Don't tell her I said that!"
"She what?! Minty! Does she?!"
"AH HA! There you two are!" She crowed. "And you two thought that you could get out of a bath so easily." She said with a mischievous smile as she carried us into the bathroom where the twins were protesting from the tub. "Both of you can be quiet. It was your fault in the first place!"
"That doesn't mean that you can throw us in a tub with running water!"
"Okay, I'll take you out. Hope that glue doesn't impede on your transformation back into your old bodies."
She said sarcastically as she reached for the two making Sunny hiss angrily at her. With a roll of her eyes she grabbed a bottle of shampoo and got to work. Neither of the twins sounded happy about their predicament, especially since Replenish kept crawling up onto the rim of the tub and taking pictures. I guess the little mech knows the value of blackmail material. After the twins were done being dried off by a towel, Optimus and Bee were next to get cleaned up. Celeste wasn't harsh with them like she was with the twins, though Replenish thought it a good idea to take more pictures. Ironhide mysteriously disappeared when Celeste was drying off Bee and Prime and Ratchet was hunting him down, which meant that Minty and I were next. "Alright you two. In you go." She sang. Where I do agree with Minty, I have to say that I loved bath time. Yeah the soap was slimy, and yeah it was uncomfortable with how wet I was, but overall it was great. I never knew how warm and soft Celeste's hands were. And she was so gentle as she rubbed the soap into my fur. Frag car washes, I want her to massage me from now on because it felt more relaxing, and more personal! I really really didn't want her to stop, and I did whine when she took me out, making her giggle as she used the hair dryer to fluff us up like the others. Once we were done, she let us trot out the door, and I pointed to the laundry basket with my head so that Hide could get a bath. The mech made a real show, snarling and hissing at her as she pulled him out of the hamper and grimacing at his new found odor. With a sigh she closed the door, leaving us to listen to Ironhide's snarling protests. Optimus and Ratchet chuckled as they slid Replenish under the door to record, leaving me and Minty to crawl onto the bed and nap alongside the twins and Bee. I wanted to talk to him about what he said under the bed, but I was too tired. Everyone seemed that way. At some point Celeste had put down food and we ate, enjoyed a movie or two and then we all passed out again! Maybe these little naps aren't so great. Especially if they have me waking up in the middle of the night.
"PSST! Jazz! C'mere!" So much for going back to recharge. With newly learned skill, I jump up to the little cubby in Minty's tower and squoze in. "What Bee? It's like after midnigh' an' I'm tired."
"Spill it Minty!"
"I told you there's nothing to spill!"
"Oh yes there is! Ya neva answered my question!"
"Jazz, I am not about to ruin your friendship with the best owner and friend in the collective universe!"
"Oh, for the love of Primus! He likes her too!" Bee snapped. I was about to tackle him and possibly knock the whole castle over while doing so but the look on Minty's face stopped me. It was a look between confusion and…well no it was mainly confusion. "Oh sweet God. How stupid am I?! You've been pining for her the whole time! And you did it in front of me! Oh wow. Just wow Minty. Really dropped the catnip ball there buddy."
He said somehow face palming himself. Don't ask me how…I really just don't know how he did it. "Anywhoo, you really need to talk to her."
"I can't."
"Why not? Now you know you both like each other."
"And on a physical level at that. You should have seen Celeste after she accidentally walked into the washracks three weeks ago. Boy you sure got her all hot and bothered!"
"Wait what?! She…she saw…oh frag no wonder she was avoidin' me! She was embarrassed to the pit an' back!"
"Mm. That was part of it. Really anytime she saw you she kinda came back to the room panting heavily before she locked herself in the bathroom for like twenty minutes. And then she'd always walk out looking like Ratchet on catnip…you know the total utter bliss face? I think she really wants to mate with you."
He said nonchalantly making Bee snicker. She really feels that way about me. Pit, I've been too blind to see it all along. She rarely hangs out with anyone but me, she cuddled me nearly the entire time I have been a cat and only stopped to do work, she played favorites in pranking us excluding me most of the time, she made me my own costume when she knew I could just change my holoform, she made me a blanket! And she claimed that there was love in every stitch! HOW FRAGGING DENSE AM I?!
"None of what I am telling you can be said to her all right? I am sworn by the oath of best friends and pet confidentiality not to tell anyone ever!"
"Yeah, but before this we couldn't understand you."
"Where that's true Bee, it's still a promise, and she is my best friend."
"I get it man. I won't tell her, but yer both right I gotta act on what I know."
"When?"
"Tomorrow. I gotta do it tomorrow."
"Oh yeah." Minty said sadly.
"Hey, Mint man, it aint like we're never gonna talk to ya again."
"Yeah, I think I heard Wheeljack say that he'll be done with your new device in a weeks' time."
"Thanks. I'm just really gonna miss having other cats around. I liked having hunting buddies."
"An' we're gonna miss hangin' out with ya like this. Maybe I can convince Celeste to get ya a new buddy to play with. Ya know, 'nother kitten maybe."
"A girl kitten. Then you two can double date!"
"I dunno Bee. I'm still pretty young for that. Plus, she'd have to be intact. I never did thank you Jazz for talking Ratchet out of operating on me."
"No thanks needed man. It's just wrong to do that to a mech. Feline or otherwise."
"Wait…was Ratchet going to…"
"Neuter me? Yeah he was. Already gave me the sedative and everything." He said with a shudder that we all shared.
The night came and went quickly. Before we knew it we were nuzzling our goodbyes with Minty and turning back into our mech forms. Turns out that Celeste's being able to understand us was a side effect, but the good news was that Jacky actually had a perfectly working collar to translate for Minty. He actually had finished the collar a while ago and only had to tweak it a little. And he did that after he fixed the gun, which may never be used in war, unless it's for drastic measures.
After the transformation back most of the mechs ambled off to other places as I swallowed my aberrant nerves. (I have sensory array after all, not nerves.) "Hey Celeste?"
"What's up Jazz?"
"I been meanin' to tell ya…I think I tore my blanket."
"Oh. Where on it?"
"I dunno exactly, I jus' heard it do somethin' but I forgot to tell ya."
"No biggie. We had a busy week thus far."
"Ya mind takin' a look at it?"
"C'mon. Better take a look so that I can set that up first in my studio."
She said as she sauntered towards my room, damn she does look good when she does that. "Ya feelin' pretty confiden'. Can I ask why?"
"Oh, it's just the umm. The Outfit I'm wearing. I like to feel confident." She said sheepishly as I keyed in the door code. "Well, it looks really good on ya. Very pretty." She's blushing! Is that a good sign?! Or wait, Ratchet said they weren't supposed to change color like that. But if she wants to mate with me then- "Uh Jazz? Earth to Jazz?"
"Hngh? What? Sorry! Sorry, I got wrapped in my thoughts."
"I said trying to come up with an excuse for why my blanket didn't have a rip…
"Something on your processor?"
"Uh…yeah. You uh? You got a minute?"
I asked as I placed her on my berth and took my alt mode, projecting my holoform. "I… I really didn't want you to go…"
"I never planned on leaving…you walked by at the wrong point in my conversation with Mikaela."
"H…how did you know?"
"I can…well…I can kinda just sense you. Your presence. I never wanted to leave. I would miss too much. I would miss you too much."
She said, making the tension in the room that much thicker. "Celestial, I think…"
"We both like each other- "
"A lot. Like- "
"Wanting to never let go of each other?"
"Couldn't have said it better myself." I sighed from where I sat next to her.
"We both have liked each other, for a long time, and only realized that recently."
"Yep. But what do we do now?" I asked her, stealing a glance at her cat like eyes.
"Jazz, I... I don't want to be friends anymore."
"Celes- "
"I want to be more than friends. I…don't want to be in the friend zone anymore."
"Me either. I... wanna be with you." I said softly, noticing that we had subconsciously moved closer together. Almost as if we had been magnetized, we leaned into each other until our noses touched and as our lips gently caressed each other's.
A/N:
*releases pack of Rottweiler's*
Mom: "Is this really necessary? Isn't the moat, drawbridge, and 80 foot wall enough?"
Me: "Yes its necessary! And no its not enough! I swear I heard a mob in the distance! I think they summoned orcs!"
Mom: "What did you do?! ...Cliffhanger?"
Me: "Oh yeah."
Dad: "Honey, on my way home, I saw an angry mob of Transformers fans with pitchforks catapults and orcs. Did you write a cliffhanger?"
Me: "I did. And I made the main characters kiss. That's the cliffhanger."
*Parents shake their heads and walk away wondering how their daughter fortified their house in so little time*
