Foolish Games
Foolish Games
By EllimistGirl
Summary: Cassie musing about Jake's love.... and how she
seemed to lose it. It's set to Jewel's Foolish Games. Not my best effort.
So Momo Claus, do I have the power?

Cut to a day in the Hork-Bajir valley. It's dark, overcast,
and it seems to be raining lightly.
You took your coat off and stood
in the rain,
you were always crazy like that,
As we pan around we see Jake standing outside in the rain. He's not doing
anything, just standing with his face turned up to the clouds, simply thinking.
And I watched from my window, always
felt I was outside,
looking in on you, we widen
out the view to see Cassie also, standing in one of the hut's doorways
and seemingly thinking of happier days.
You were always the mysterious
one with dark eyes and
careless hair, we change to
a scene from #21. Jake is all messed up from demorphing on the beach and
Cassie is trying to read his mood. He looks up at the clouds and looks
down again, with his mask firmly in place. Cassie looks away, slightly
disappointed
You were fashionably sensitive,
but too cool to care. Fade to a dance at the school. The Animorphs
are standing around and Rachel has apparently made a comment on Jake's
taste in fashion. Jake just laughs and shakes his head. Rachel then turns
to her next victim, Cassie.
You stood in my doorway with nothing
to say, besides
some comment on the weather. Back
in the present, Jake looks at Cassie and walks over to her and seems to
make a little joke about the weather. She seems to make a smile, but we
can see the turmoil in her eyes
Well, in case you failed to notice,
in case you failed to see,
this is my heart bleeding before
you, this me down on my knees Cassie sings softly as she looks at him,
These foolish games are tearing
me apart Flash to Jake excluding Cassie from the meeting in #53.
And your thoughtless words are
breaking my heart, you're
breaking my heart. Another
flash to Jake and Cassie yelling at each other in #50 after Cassie gives
away the morphing cube. Jake then storms off. Back to the present, we see
Cassie still singing louder this time while staring into the trees which
seems to hold more images. Jake just looks at her, listening, wanting to
hear her reaction over the past few days.
You were always brilliant in the
morning, smoking your
cigarettes, and talking over coffee,
The sky holds the image of Jake and Cassie holding the conversation
outside of the truck in MM1.
Your philosphies on art, Baroque
moved you, you loved
Mozart, The sky scene dissolves
to a day when Cassie was listening to a song on the radio. Jake and Marco
come in and start discussing her choice of music.
And you'd speak of your loved ones
as I clumsly strummed
my guitar Cut to the scene
in #31 when Jake confesses that his father's up for infestation. Everyone
looks at him warily.
Excuse me, guess I've mistaken
you for somebody else,
somebody who gave a damn, somebody
more like myself, As we gaze into the fire, we see Cassie yelling at
Jake as he's walking away and calling him a coward. He just keeps on walking.
And these foolish games are tearing
me, tearing me, you're
tearing me apart Back to the
present. As Cassie looks at Jake and keeps on singing, Jake looks as though
he's finally getting a wakeup call to what his actions are doing to her.
And your thoughtless words are
breaking my heeeeaaaarrrt,
you're breaking my heart. A
flash of #51 where he says that he can't trust Cassie. You can still see
her singing in the background kind of Jewel like. Back in the present,
Jake looks at Cassie and attempts to speak and then just turns around and
goes back outside, a thoughtful look on his face.
You took your coat off and stood
in the rain, you were
always crazy like that. Cassie
seems to whisper the last few words and then goes inside the hut. Jake
remains outside searching the sky as though looking for a sign of forgiveness
or to point the way. Fade out on that image.
