I don't own Animorphs and as long as you can't tell me where the incorrect grammar is, don't waste your time, I don't have English as my native language but I'm doing my best, and all misstakes that I'm able to find myself is allready gone...

Chapter 1

Jake

When mum and dad decided to take a day off and go to a water park in another city, I just jumped up in delight, for once I could play with Tom without thinking too much about the viscous slug in his head.

And as it was only for one day the yeerk couldn't came up with any viscous excuse for staying at home either.

After breakfast I ran over to Marco to tell him the news. He couldn't see any danger in it either so instead of giving me warnings, he began to tease me for being so full of joy.

"You will regret it, you know, the higher you are the more pain you will have when you fall!" He sneered at me. I just laughed.

"This time nothing can go wrong Marco, if something was going on then Tom wouldn't be so…" I got silent and stopped laughing. "Then Tom wouldn't seem so happy…" Marco understood.

"Don't think about that, go home and get your things together before they decides to go without you!" I looked at the clock, and was shocked when I noticed that I only had fifteen minutes to go.

"Bye Marco!" I shouted and ran towards the door.

"And don't think about any aliens today, today they can invade just as much as they want."

I stopped in the door and turned to Marco. He had his usual annoying Marco-smile. I laughed again and ran back home and I had exactly as much time I needed to put everything I wanted into a plastic bag and run back down again.

Mum, dad and Tom sat in the car waiting for me.

Tom seemed to shine with happiness and for a few seconds I had that horrible voice in my head telling me that the yeerk was only playing with him again, but I threw that thoughts away, as Marco said, today they could invade as much as they wanted.

After some hours in the car, we arrived to the water park and when I had got my ticket it took me exactly eight minutes to run away to the changing room, get changed and run out in the water.

I had been in the pool for certainly ten minutes before Tom and our parents had left the changing rooms and for those ten minutes I almost wished that I had asked Marco to come with me so I had anyone to be with that minutes. But when they arrived, we played together in the water all four of us until mum and dad got too tired and wanted to be alone for a while.

"Hey Jake, do you dare to try the water slide with me?"

"Sure!" I ran up from the pool and then up all the stairs to the highest tower. And there I stopped to wait for Tom.

I didn't notice when he came, suddenly he had taken a grip around me and just jumped down into the nearest slide.

Tom had got more speed than me so when he had left me he disappeared somewhere in front of me in the slide, I could hear him laugh somewhere under me. I laughed too… before I caught sight of my arm… it had turned into a dolphin fin, only a few seconds later the entire me was a dolphin and it didn't end with that. I continued morphing and ended up as an orca.

And the orca was too big and too heavy for the water slide. I was stuck, I couldn't move and I could hear the water slide was about to give up.

There was only one thing I could do, stay calm and try to demorph. I tried…

What happened after that are things that I have been told later but I will try to retell it as far as I can.

Tom had returned to the pool safe and sound, and then remained in the area to wait for me.

He, mum, dad and almost everyone in there saw that the slide was about to collapse.

Some seconds later I and some other kids float out from the slide, the others swam away to their parents immediately.

Only I remained in the water, face down, human, but unconscious…

Dad had dived down into the pool and rescued me, he had dragged me up on safe land and pressed out some water from my lungs and then he had blown in new air through my mouth.

When I woke up he was gone, but mum and Tom were still there. Both of them had wrapped their arms around me and I think that my mum cried.

Then I don't remember anything more.

Next time I woke up dad was back, we were still in the water park and I think that he yelled at someone. He seemed pretty upset.

I also noticed that someone had wrapped a blanket around now, I remember that I was coughing and crying quietly, that's all I remember, I didn't hear anything the others said, I'm not even sure who was there.
