Miko sat on the couch as she watched the other two like a hawk. She began to fidgit as she waited impatiently. She checked the clock again for the hundredth time. Jack looked at her and raised an eyebrow. She held still and grinned at him. The youth knew something was up but also knew the girl would never tell. She was really good at keeping secrets, which bothered him sometimes.

After a few more minutes Jack looked at the clock and sighed. He had to get to work. The teen got up and went to talk to Arcee. Miko watched as they got on the bike and drove off. She waited until the engine faded away then she jumped up and ran to the rail. She knew he would be back later and had already told Arcee her plan.

"Attention Autobots!!" Miko called. They all looked up at her then at each other.

"This better not be something ridiculous." Rachet grumbled.

"This is important!" She huffed. "Today is Jacks birthday and we are going to throw a surprise party." She grinned.

"What are we throwing at him?" Smokescreen asked confused.

*What's a....* Bumblebee paused and frowned at his hands, unsure how to sign 'birthday'.

"What's a Birthday?" Bulkhead asked. The scout snapped his fingers, touched his nose and pointed at the wrecker as he grinned.

"Oh.... well it's the day you were born. We celebrate it each year." Raf said as he walked over. They looked at him for a moment.

"So.....do we have birthdays?" Smokescreen asked as he looked at Rachet. The room was quiet for a second

"No." He responded and went back to work.

"Aaanyway." Miko said trying to keep them on task. "The point is we have to decorate so when he gets here later we can surprise him!" She grinned. She ran down to the SUV and pulled things out of the trunk.

"How did those get in there?" Bulkhead asked as he walked over. She just smiled as she went to the middle of the room.

"Okay." She said as she dropped the bags. "We need someone to blow up balloons, get the streamers around, and find a place for confetti to drop." She said.

"I'm good at blowing things up." Wheeljack smirked.

"Not that kind." Raf smiled as he showed him a balloon. The wrecker frowned as he watched the boy blow it up.

"Oh...." he muttered as he looked at it. Then he shrugged and helped the boy.

Bumblebee and Smokescreen grabbed the streamers and opened the package. Miko told them what to do and they walked around as they tried to figure out where to put them. Smokescreen threw one in the air and smiled as it got caught on the rail and came back down. The speedsters grinned at each other and started throwing the rolls at everything and everyone. There was a loud bang and everyone jumped. Wheeljack stared at the popped balloon at his feet and grinned.

"They do blow up." He said and grabbed another one.

Bulkhead helped Miko organize the decorations and keep everyone on task. She told the speedsters that they didn't need anymore streamers and Smokescreen moaned in protest. He looked around and then back at the small roll of streamer in his hand. He looked at Bumblebee and grinned mischievously.
