DISCLAIMER: I am not the writer of Animorphs. K.A. Applegate is. I am just a lazy teenager using her main, central ideas and making my own characters with them.

This is in no way linked to the actual Animorphs book series.

Sadly.

Because it's so cute!

Wraithlord42, I didn't let you beta this, because, well, it's late at night, and I'm tired, and I don't feel like waiting anyway...

And cuddly fluffy baby Andeewites just don't seem like your action-loving- self's area of expertise...

But if you have any ideas you are very welcome to telling me...

Here we go.

Chapter 1

I stood staring at it.

No way.

No, possible way, was that there.

It stood on four shiny black little hooves.

It had large eyes, too large for it's head. It had bobbly stalk eyes that could barely yet move themselves.

And it had a clunky little dull tail blade that dragged along the ground. That signature tail blade that let you know what species it was, and what arrogant, Supposed-Lord-of-the-Galaxy it would grow up to be.

It's eyes opened wide when it saw me and it made little wheezing noises through it's nose of excitement.

It began to waddle toward me.

Dodi! It said, loud and clear in my mind.

"No!" I said back to it. "No no no! Don't come to me! No!"

What if the PARENTS were around here somewhere?!

It waddled up to me and wrapped it's little arms around my host's legs. I let out a groan. "Noooo! Let go!"

Dodi! The baby Andalite insisted.

What was an Andalite infant doing here?!

Apparently, the parents were either dead...or the child was just lost...

Which meant I would have to act quickly...

My stupid host was bothering me.

The Hork-Bajir's first instinct was to pick the little tyke up and cuddle it to it's stomach. Then take it off into some tree top and plop it in a nest.

"Like I'm going to do that!" I said out loud. "This little brat means promotion!"

I scooped it up in strong Hork-Bajir arms. "Heh heh! Come on you little bugger!"

He bounced happily in my arms.

Dodiiii! He called again. Dodidodidodidodidodi... On and on and on.

"Shh!"

He giggled. I suspected it was a 'he', anyway.

What if it was a female? I wasn't going to check...

I was the middle of the woods! I had to find the others from my unit.

The Subvisser would be in a huge fit...

Dodi!

"Who is 'Dodi?" I asked him, absentmindedly, not really expecting an answer. I was looking around desperately, trying to find anything of my unit at all.

SISTER! The baby bellowed in my head.

I stopped walking.

"Sister?" I squeaked.

Yes! It grinned up at me with shining, innocent eyes.

I sighed.

"Where is your sister?" I spoke slowly and clearly.

He began to look around.

Dodi...dodi...dodi....I don't know! He cried and giggled.

"Well you keep calling her, and we'll just walk around and look for her."

I began to feel excited as I stalked, looking for the other baby Andalite.

Another child! Even more promotions!

DODIIIII! The child screamed in my head.

I'm here! A tiny thoughtspeak voice declared at my feet.

I looked down.

She must have just jumped out from the bush in front of me.

I had almost stepped on her!

She stared at me.

I stared at her.

She looked at her brother questioningly.

Washju?!

He blinked. I don't know.

Silence.

They both began to look around and unanimously screamed.

WASHJU!!!

"WHAT?!" I yelled. "You're not going to tell me there's more of you!"

BROTHER! They both yelled. Then they began to call out for him again.

The one in my arms began to wiggle. I set him down.

He and his sister galloped around the bushes.

WASHJU!

"Hey!" I yelled, panicking. "Stay close!"

They did, but continued looking around behind bushes.

Suddenly, a third Andalite child leaped out from a large bush.

FAMILY! He cried out happily, sounding almost relieved.

WASHJUUUU!!! They both cried out and raised their arms in the air.

He ran to them, and soon they were all rolling and hugging and giggling in thoughtspeak. I walked up to them after a few minutes, interrupting the little family reunion.

"Alright! Alright! Are you all here now?!"

They smiled. Yes!

"Any more siblings?"

They look confused and looked to eachother.

"That is, any more brothers or sisters?"

They smiled again, understanding now.

NO! They shouted unanimously.

"Alright. Good! Now come with me!"

They followed quite obediently in a little herd behind me. I grinned with my host's Hork-Bajir grin. Heh! How I'd look marching back into camp with three little Andalites trailing behind me! The Sub-visser wouldn't be able to say anything!

So what if I'd gotten lost from the group? Who would care? The Visser himself would congratulate me when I gave him his new prize...

Or, well, prizes...

I kept looking back every few seconds. They were fine so far.

They all looked the same age.

Must be triplets, I thought. Which was even more bizarre.

Andalites seldom had triplets...

They had strict rules as to the number of children allowed to be born on their planet.

What were infant Andalite triplets doing on planet Earth?!

This began to bother me more and more as I traveled along. I kept looking back.

They followed, but now I noticed they were lagging behind. I was going too fast.

I stopped.

"Alright!" I said with a sigh.

I put my Dracon beam on safety, then put it in it's sling.

"Come here, close." I said to them. They did. I scooped them up one by one.

I picked the female 'Dodi' up in one arm, the first male still unnamed in the other, and then I stared at the third, Washju.

He blinked back at me.

The children blinked up at me.

TAIL! The two adorable little nightmares giggled in my arms.

"Oh! Right!"

I carefully used my double bladed Hork-Bajir tail to scoop up the third little grub up, just under his lower body, and hold him to my stomach.

"Thanks. Alright!" I said to them. "Now hang on Washju!"

I walked as quickly as I could, feeling their furry little bodies pressing close to me.

We got to a stream.

Thirsty! The little female announced.

"We don't have time!" I snapped, annoyed.

Thirsty! She wailed again.

Dodi's thirsty! Her unnamed brother in my arm insisted.

Oh no. I thought. I knew the little uprising would come soon...

I was going to have a full scale-yet-mini revolt on my hands in a few seconds...

Dodi thirsty! Washju agreed with his brother.

Thirsty Dodi! Dodi said, giggling.

Dodi Thirsty! The brothers said back, giggling too.

Soon my head was full of giggling, gleeful, thoughtspeak cries of 'Dodi thirsty!' and 'Thirsty Dodi!' !

There was no way I was going to be able to move on with all of this!

"AAAAAAAAHHH! Alright! That's it!" I yelled, agitated, and they quieted.

I plopped them all roughly onto the ground, almost throwing them.

They stared up at me, in a heap, shocked, and looking a little hurt.

They began to wail.

"No! No no no! Shhh!"

Uuuuhuuuuuuu! Dodi, the Troublemaker insisted.

"Nooo! Shh!"

Any Andalites for miles around were going to hear this!

I got down, crouching as a Hork-Bajir can.

"Shhh! Shhh! There there! It's alright! Don't cry!" I spoke softly.

They continued to wail, though now a little quieter.

It was working.

"Shhh! It's alright! There now..." I thought for a second.

I began to gently shake them a little with my hand, by their shoulders, rocking them.

They calmed down.

For a few seconds, anyway.

Then the unnamed child went straight back to wailing. Soon his siblings joined him too.

Without thinking, and desperate, I began to tickle his little torso sides. His wailing changed to giggling, then hysterical laughter.

The other too stopped wailing!

They stared, shocked, surprised. Then they began to giggle too.

"Yes!" I said, more at my joy of my discovery than them.

Then I began to say it to them too. "Yes yes yes!"

They grinned up at me, and for a moment, my heart was almost sold on them.

Yes yes yes! They all chorused and giggled. I stopped tickling him.

He giggled, calming down, and his laughter subsided.

Then I was standing again, looking down at them, blinking.

They looked back at me, serious now, curious, waiting to see what I'd do next.

"You," I spoke, surprising them and making them jump a little. "may drink."

I gestured to the stream.

They grinned and got up and hurriedly waddled toward it.

It was shallow, but deep enough for them to be up to the tops of their little legs in it. The current was pretty swift too.

Worried, I got in, a little downstream from them so that I could keep them from getting sucked away and lost forever.

I tried to tell myself that I was worried about their promotion value...

HOHOHOOO! CLIFFHANGAAA!

Well, review if you really, really want to know what happens next.

I have nothing, and I mean, absolutely nothing preplanned for the next chapter, so I gotta think...

But while I'm thinking, you can tell me just how badly you want to know the rest.
