Jazz was watching Prowl pack, laughing as Prowl tried to hunt down something he'd misplaced.

It was the Academy's equivelant to Christmas break, and the Twins, and Prowl were going to be with their creators. Prowl had tried to convince Optimus and Elita to let Jazz stay, but seeing as how Ratchet, 'Jack, and the Twins were staying with Prowl and his family, there just was no room.

Not to mention, Magnus was out of town on some diplomatic meeting. So Jazz was going to be left to his own devices for a week or so. Not good.

Prowl glanced over at Jazz, optics dark with worry. "Are you sure you don't mind staying here?" he asked for the thousandth time.

Jazz grinned. "Yeah. Prowler, this ain't the first time this has happened, you know." he pointed out.

Prowl sighed as his doorwings lowered. "I know. I just feel bad."

Jazz cocked his head as he looked at Prowl. "Why?"

"Cause you're stuck here."

Jazz let a smile cross his face. "Prowler, I'll be fine. The worst that'll happen is I'll end up trashing the room again."

Prowl mock-shuddered. "The horrors of a messy room." he teased.

Jazz laughed. "I dunno. Your reaction when you got back last time was great."

"Jazz, you'd managed to completely and utterly destroy the room!"

Jazz scoffed and waved a hand dismissively. "It wasn' that bad."

"It was!"

Jazz opened his mouth to retort when the doors slid open, revealing Optimus and Elita. He gave them a bright smile. "Hi, Optimus, Elita."

Elita gave Jazz a hug. "Hello, Jazz. How are you?"

Jazz hugged her back. "I'm fine. Does Prowler have to go?" he asked, directing that question to Optimus.

Optimus laughed at the slight whine in Jazz's tone. "Yes, Jazz. But next time, you can come with Prowl, provided Magnus doesn't mind."

Jazz grinned. "I'm gonna hold ya to that, Prime."

"Very well. Prowl, are you ready?"

Prowl sighed. "Yeah. I'm ready." his optics flicked back over to where Jazz was chatting with Elita. "Optimus. . "

Optimus sighed. "Prowl, we can't. Not this time around."

Jazz looked over at Prowl and flashed him a grin. "Go on, I'll be fine! I swear!" he said, drawing an 'x' over his spark. "Harass the Twins for me, kay?"

Prowl nodded and walked over to Jazz, wrapping him in a hug. Jazz hugged him back, before letting him go. "See you in a week, kay?"

"Yup! And you'd better stay out of trouble until I get back!" Prowl warned. With that, Prowl, Optimus, and Elita left, the doors sliding closed behind them.

"Well, slag."

At least now, he had the time to plan his next prank. He just hoped that Prowl would get to see the results.

Four days later

Jazz crept through the halls, visor dimmed so he would be that much harder to see. He had a specific target in mind, and he was almost there. He keyed the doors open, and slipped in, the doors sliding closed silently behind him.

He headed straight for the computer banks, and cracking his knuckles, set to work. He began to hack the system, and with one simple line of code, locked Sentinel's computer. Jazz straightened, and with a satisfied smirk, turned the computer off. Sometimes, being a saboteur in training was a good thing. He walked to the door, and pressed an audio against the door.

All clear. Good.

Jazz walked out of Sentinel's office, and headed down the hall to the cafeteria to grab a cube of energon before heading down to his quarters. Odds were, he wouldn't need his computer until classes resumed later that day.

Prowl walked into the room, dropping his bags with a sigh. Jazz looked up from his datapad with a grin. "Heya, Prowler."

Prowl grinned back. "Hey. How'd break go?"

"Well, it went. Coulda been a bit more entertainin', but I can't complain. How'd it go on your end?"

Prowl grinned. "Next year, you need to come with us. It was actually pretty fun." he paused as he stared at Jazz. "You look entirely too smug. What did you do?"

"You'll find out later." Jazz promised.

Prowl shook his head as he grabbed his books. "I'm almost afraid to." he murmured as they headed to class.

Sentinel finished handing out the worksheets, and turned to his computer. Jazz's gaze flicked up to Seninel, and a smirk crossed his face. Prowl looked over at Jazz when he heard the mech snicker. "What?"

"Wait and watch." Jazz said, looking like he was working on the sheet, when he was watching Sentinel closely.

Prowl watched as Sentinel turned his computer on, and it shut back down. Sentinel's optic ridges came together, as he tried again, just to have the computer shut back down. By this time, Seninel was cursing rather colorfully, and the entire classroom was laughing.

Prowl glanced over at Jazz, who'd laced his fingers behind his helm as he grinned. "When did you do that?"

"Actually, right before you walked into our quarters. My timin' rocks."

"Jazzy? One of these days, you're gonna get yourself into trouble."

"Yeah, but I will be happy."

A/N- And I cut it off there. There wasn't much of the Twins in this one, I know, but this was actually inspired by Shadowblade-tara's newest chapter to her story Night to Day. Anyway, read, review, and lemme know what you think.
