Hi! Ok, I think that this fic is completely sweet BUT SHORT. But before u start reading it, I just wanted to let u no that the whole main thing was actually inspiration from this slogan that another girl made. I even put on my web site.

So, I hope you enjoy it!

"Ok, guys. So we have everything set up for tomorrow's trap right?" Jake asked,

Everyone said "yes" and started leaving.

The animorphs were in Cassie's barn, preparing for tomorrow's job, nothing major.

But one particular person had a troubled and nervous look on her face.

Come on, Rachel. You are strong. You can do this. You may faint along the way, but you can do this. She told herself silently,

Before Rachel lost her nerve, she forced herself to speak.

"Um…Tobias?"

Yeah, Rae?

"Can you demorph for a minute? I want to talk to you."

Uh…ok. Sure

As Tobias demorphed, Rachel was having an inward battle with herself.

Tell him! Don't tell him. Look at him. Don't make eye contact. He's going to laugh at me! No he won't! He's not like that! Then, he'll think I'm weak and stupid. The way you are thinking right now is only going to make you more nervous. And if he does think that way, he is a moron.

"Ok. What's up?" Tobias said snapping Rachel back to reality,

Just do it!!!

"Umm…Tobias…uh…" Rachel was fully aware that her voice was trembling but she had to try, "I've been kinda meaning to ask you this for a while now…"

Tobias's only reaction was a quizzical look, but it was good enough.

"D-Do you think I'm pretty?"

"No." Tobias answered bluntly,

Rachel could already feel her heart breaking, but she forced herself to continue.

"Do you want me?"

"No."

"If I left…would you cry?"

"No." He said for the final time.

Tears brimmed Rachel's eyes, but she would not allow Tobias to see her cry.

"Oh……oh, okay." Rachel said preparing to leave, but just as she turned and spilled her unwanted, hurt tears, Tobias' hand grasped her arm.

"I don't think you pretty. I think you're beautiful." Tobias told her, "I don't want you. I need you. And if you left, I wouldn't cry………. I would die."

Those were the most beautiful and loving words Rachel heard, her tears now were not of sadness but pure joy.

As both of them pulled each other for a sweet kiss, Tobias whispered against Rachel's lips:

"Rachel…I Love you."
