Anyway, here it is!

Cautiously, Jetstorm wandered around the scrapyard during his break. Drift usually allowed a few a day, and this was one of his longer ones. He didn't have a reason for searching the aisles, he just wanted to see if there was anything interesting because Denny did own a lot of stuff. They all looked the same, old antiques or ancient relics that they had discovered.

Suddenly, he came across a wierd looking box, it was mainly black but decorated with discs and switches. He liked the way it looked, so he pulled it out from under shelve and examined it. It looked like it was in good condition, but it wasn't working.

"Hey, Jet." Jetstorm gasped then turned around, Sideswipe was standing there with his servos on his hips and a confused look on his faceplate. "Whatcha doing?"

Jetstorm let out a sigh of relief. "Oh, Sideswipe, I was just looking at this." He crouched down behind him and looked at the box, giving him a smile as he realised what it was. "What is it?"

"It's a portable DJ console," he replied with excitement.

"A what?"

"Don't you know? A DJ console is... I guess you could say a special kind of instrument, it creates wonderful music of all sorts, you just need to know what sounds to put together," he explained. "Most of my tunes are made using this. I think it's awesome, but Bumblebee doesn't think so...until he steals my headphones."

"I would love to try!" Jetstorm exclaimed before he lowered his helm. "But it doesn't work."

"It just needs a few batteries, I'm sure Fixit can help you out. I'll go get him."

Sideswipe stepped forward but was stopped when Jetstorm called his name. "Sideswipe, promise me that you won't tell Master Drift or Slipstream, if Bumblebee doesn't like it, then I'm positive that they won't either."

He turned around with a smile. "No worries, as long as you keep the volume down and avoid them, they'll have no clue."

"Thank you." The Autobot nodded and walked off as as reached for his comm. Leaving Jetstorm with the DJ console.

Sideswipe returned a few minutes later with the orange Mini-con, Fixit, who was holding a pair of batteries. He wasn't thrilled by this idea because it would mean more noise, but he couldn't say no to Jetstorm.

He knelt down and examined the console. "You're right about one thing, this DJ console is in urgent need of a battery transplant. Luckily I brought some when Sideswipe mentioned, 'We need lots of power to blow the roof sky high'." Jetstorm gave Sideswipe a unsurprised looked and raised an optic ridge.

"Okay, I admit that it was a little extreme but what can I say? I'm a music-lover," he told them which caused the two Mini-cons to laugh. Fixit closed the console and picked it up, holding it out for Jetstorm.

"Wow..." the black Mini-con said before accepting it. However, he gave them a confused look once he examined it. "Uh..."

"What's wrong?" Sideswipe asked.
