A/n- this is the first real Animorphs fan fic

A/n- this is the first real Animorphs fan fic. Wow that's too amazing. I hated the end of the series, you know that? So depressing. Ok this is a pre-54 thing…yeah. Late night at the camp. Enjoy.

Disclaimer- it's not mine. I wish it were, then I could make the end less depressing.

Helpless

            It was night. A night after a long day, and the troop had finally made it back to camp. Rachel had just about gone back to her "house" when she suddenly remembered about meeting up with Tobias. She quickly turned around and headed in the other direction, towards the woods where Tobias was waiting.

I can stand with the weight of the world

On my shoulders

I can fight with the toughest of tough

I can laugh in the face

Of all my insecurities

Anytime, anywhere, anything

I'm strong enough

            She heard a fluttering of wings above her, and she knew that she was in the right place. Tobias morphed human and jumped off of the low branch, landing softly next to Rachel. He took her hand and pulled her over to a rock hidden in the night's shadows, they sat down, and Tobias wrapped his arms around her, Rachel realizing how she felt so weak in his embrace.

But when you're holding me like this

I'm carelessly lost in your touch

I'm completely defenseless

Baby, it's almost too much

I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly,

Falling in love

            After a moment, Tobias pulled back and looked into her eyes. Reading his mind, Rachel leaned forward, locking his lips in a kiss. They sat like that for a couple minutes, holding onto each other for warmth. They pulled back, but stayed close, and Tobias whispered, his warm breath landing on her face.

            "I love you Rachel."

So let consequence do what it will to us

I don't care

Let the stars stand as witness to it all

Say the word and tonight I will follow you anywhere

I just can't pretend anymore

I'm too sturdy to fall

            Rachel looked back at him in total disbelief. It wasn't like Tobias to show so much emotion, but she appreciated it all the same.

But when you're holding me like this

I'm carelessly lost in your touch

I'm completely defenseless

Baby, it's almost too much

I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly,

Falling in love

            Rachel collected herself from her shock, and smiled sweetly up at Tobias.

            "I love you too, Tobias."

I am not afraid

I am not afraid

            Tobias smiled a rare smile, and kissed her again, but the moment was ruined by Jake.

            "Tobias! Rachel! I need you for a meeting!"

            Rachel laughed for no real reason, and Tobias quickly kissed her again.

'Cause when you're holding me like this

I'm carelessly lost in your touch

I'm completely defenseless

Baby, it's almost too much

I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly,

Falling…

            They stood up, and Tobias took her hand, and the started to slowly walk out of the woods.

Helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly falling

            Right before they reached the edge of the woods, Tobias stopped, and Rachel turned to face him. He kissed her again, and they stared into each other's eyes, which seemed to take eternity.

I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly,

Falling in love
