2. Black cat

Prowl blinked his optics slowly as he tried to dispel the fog that clouded his processor. As it cleared he almost wished it hadn't. Someone had placed a mirror in his room so that the first thing he would see upon awakening was his reflection. Judging by his current appearance he was certain that he could name the culprit.

10 minutes prior

"Ratchet, calm down. I swear I'll find and deal with whoever's responsible." Optimus Prime vented a sigh as he attempted to placate the angry medic. So far his day had not been going well and the sun was barely above the horizon. Being woken before dawn by an irate Ratchet, who claimed that someone had stolen a dose of sedatives from the medbay, did not rank high on his list of ways to start the day. As Optimus opened his mouth to once again reassure the medic that the culprit or culprits would be caught and punished; a shout shattered the early morning quiet.

"JAZZ!!" Normally this would have been ignored, as such shouts where a semi-regular occurrence, except for three things: the name being shouted, the identity of the shouter, and the malice behind the shout. Both mechs turned to look at the door from the living quarters as Prowl entered the room, shuriken drawn and murder in his optics.

Their optics widened as they took in his appearance. A pair of cat ears were affixed to his helm, a tail was attached to his lower back just above his aft, and his fingers now ended in claws. The coup-de-grace however was the jet black faux fur that had been somehow glued to every exposed surface of his armor. All in all Prowl was doing a phenomenal expression of a enraged black cat.

Optimus was in the middle of thanking primus that it took a marching band to wake Bumblebee up before noon when Ratchet commed him. : You go tell Jazz to make himself scarce. I'll calm Prowl down and get him cleaned up. : Optimus didn't have to consider before replying, : Deal. I guess we know who raided the medbay. : Ratchet shook his head Optimus sped out of the base, he figured Prowl would calm down once he offered to help get the "costume" off before Bumblebee woke up. He just hoped that Jazz stayed out of Prowl's reach, he really wasn't looking forward to the repair job that was certain to follow that encounter.
