Jazz stood in the door to the main room of the warehouse taking in the sights. Bumblebee was chasing Prowl around with a clump of greenery tied to a stick, while Bulkhead helped Sari and Captain Fanzone decorated the base. Or rather Bulkhead was doing the decorating while the humans watched Bee and Prowl while laughing themselves sick. As Prowl hadn't noticed him yet Jazz walked over to the humans intent on being let in on the joke. "What's going on? Normally Prowl doesn't stick around when Bee pulls this sort of stunt." Fanzone took a second to catch his breath before answering, "Optimus decided that Prowl needed to be more social and ordered him to stay in the same room with the rest of the team for three hours a day, it's only been an hour and a half so far." At this point Prowl finally noticed Jazz and shot him a pleading look. Jazz chuckled before opening their private com line :Sorry Prowl, Fanzone told me about Optimus's orders: Prowl shot Jazz a murderous look before replying, :Traitor: Jazz just shrugged before turning back to Fanzone. "Okay, I know watching Bee chase Prowl is funny but not this funny. So, what's the joke?" Fanzone shook his head before pulling himself together, "Bee took Sari shopping for decorations and on the way home he saw some boys chasing a pair of girls with a sprig of mistletoe, he then apparently decided to try it on Prowl." A snicker escaped Jazz's vocalizer earning him another glare from Prowl. "I guess he figured it would annoy him pretty good, right?" Fanzone shook his head with a grin before replying, "Actually, I kinda figure he's finally admitting his feelings." Sari chimed in, "Don't you think they make a cute couple." Jazz's thought processes came to a screeching halt as he tried to take in the humans comments. As a result he was rendered mute till Fanzone took pity on Bumblebee and shouted, "Bee there are better ways to get Prowl to kiss you!" At this, all motion in the room stopped. The only sound was Jazz's shocked "What?!" All attention was turned on the humans as the bots looked for an answer. Sari and Fanzone exchanged a look before Sari spoke up, "It's a Christmas tradition when two people stand under the mistletoe together they are supposed to kiss, and given that that's mistletoe." At this Sari pointed to the clump of greenery attached to Bumblebee's stick. "I can only conclude that you want Prowl to kiss you." Bee looked the mistletoe before looking at Jazz. Motion then resumed with Bumblebee's mad dash out of the room with Jazz hot on his heels. A few seconds later the sounds of a scuffle reached the stunned ears of the remaining occupants of the room. The sounds ended with a muffled yelp. Jazz then stalked back into the room, picked up Prowl and stormed back out. Prowl's protests grew fainter till they where cut off by the sound of a door shutting. The room was silent until Sari spoke up, "Um... what just happened?" Her question was answered ten minutes later when a very upset Ratchet stormed into the room, "Would someone like to explain to me why in Primus's name did I just have to remove a clump of greenery from Bumblebee's tailpipe?!" Ratchet glared at the room's occupants till Fanzone explained what happened. At this Ratchet's jaw dropped, "I knew he was stupid but I didn't think he was that stupid." Sari looked at Ratchet with a confused expression on her face, "What do you mean?" she asked. Ratchet couldn't keep the smirk off his faceplates as he replied, "Bumblebee and Prowl aren't a couple, Jazz and Prowl are."
