Disclaimer: I do not, will not, and never have owned Animorphs.
I also have not read all the Animorph books so I will not mention how Rachel died.
And this fanfic was inspired by Thecheesecake's video on youtube: Tobias is no one's boy- Tobis and Rachel.
"Tobias...I'm sorry." Rachel said softly as she looked at the ground.
"No your not. Rachel I care about you...How could you go out with him?" I asked in Thought-speak.
"I care about You to Tobias..." Rachel said as she walked closer to the tree branch I was sitting on.
"Than why? Why go out with Marco?" I snapped at her.
"Tobias...I would love to go out with you. You know that...But Marco's completely human. I care about you Tobias,but I want a normal relationship. I want a boyfriend who I can hold hands with, who I can go see a movie with, And who I can stay up talking on the phone late into the night." Rachel tried to explain.
"And I won't give you any of that." I said bitterly. "I really am stupid! I should stay human and be with Rachel, but I couldn't live with myself if I did that..." I thought to myself.
"Tobias.. I wouldn't ask you to give up your power to morph as long as the war's going on but after the war... Do you think we could be together?" Rachel asked.
I looked down at her. "Rachel once the war's over I'll stay human. I promise." I said softly.
Rachel smiled slightly. Than she began to fade. "Good-bye Tobias..." She said ever so softly.
"Rachel! Wait don't go!" I yelled as I flew towards her.
"I have to Tobias.." She said than she disapeared.
"RACHEL!" I yelled as I shot up into a sitting postion.
"Tobias?" Luke my roommate groaned as he sat up across the room.
"It was a dream...It was just a dream..." I said shakely. I looked over at Luke as he got out of his bed and crossed the room over to mine. Concern was written on his face.
"Hey you ok buddy? He asked me. I was panting. I than noticed that I had broken out into a cold sweat. I looked up at Luke and Nodded. "Calm down Tobias." Luke told Me. A few minutes later I was calm. "Go back to sleep Buddy. Six o' clock's gonna come early." Luke said, Than He went back to his bed.
THE NEXT DAY
I was in school between classes when a new girl came up to me. "Hi I'm Jordan. I just moved here, and I was wondering if you could show me where the gym is? She asked me.
I froze as I looked at her. She had long blond hair, blue eyes, and a great smile. She looked so much like Rachel, Only shorter..
"Umm...Yeah..I guess come on." I muttered as I led her towards the gym. "I'm sorry I didn't catch your name.." Jordan said as she tried to keep up with Me. I slowed down some, and not looking at her I muttered "It's Tobias." I picked up my paste again. "She looks so much like my Rachel... Tobias! Stop thinking about Rachel she's dead!" I thought.
"Are you a senior?" Jordan asked me.
"No I'm a junior..." I mumbled.
Jordan looked surprised. "I'm a junior to. Though I skipped tenth grade... You know Tobias you look formilar..And you look old for your age." She told me.
I Fineally looked at her. "I'm nineteen. I dropped out of school a few years ago and now I'm back. And I have that kind of face. Here's the gym." I said, then I quickly turned and walked away before she could say another word.
"Hey Tobias man wait up!" Luke said as he came towards me.
I stopped and waited for him. "What's up?" I asked him.
"Nothing really.. Hey look man Trish wants to know if you'd like to go to the dance with her friday. Shall I go tell that Sister of mine yes?" Luke asked with a grin.
Friday? Thursday I was going back to Californa for the weekend. Not to see Jake, or Ax, Marco, or Cassie, but to visit Rachel's grave. Because on friday it would be three years since She'd died.
"Well man?" Luke asked me.
I looked at him with an emotionlist face. (Which is how I always look.) "Tell her no." I said flatly.
Luke's face fell. "What? Tobias man Trish is great. Beside don't you like brunette's?" LUke asked sounding upset that I had turned His younger sister down.
"No I like a blonde..." I said before I could stop myself. (You see noone here in Florida knows about Rachel or My past besides the fact that I use to live in California and that I'm an orphan.)
"A blonde?" Luke asked. Before I could say anything Luke's pale blue eyes lit up. "Rachel?" He asked.
I growled. "How'd you find out about her?" I asked clearly upset.
Luke looked excited. Just than the bell rang, but Luke and I ignored it. "You screamed her name last night. Is she your girl? back in California?" Luke asked.
I looked down. "She was...kinda...not really. She was going out with someone else but we liked each other alot.." I said softly.
Luke grew somber. "And since you moved you never had a chance to be with her?" He asked.
I shook my head. "No.. She died...That's why...I moved here." I said with a catch in my voice.
Luke put his hand on my shoulder. "I'm sorry man..."He said as I looked up at him.
"Yeah, well We'd better get to class, We're already late." I said. I guess Luke sensed that I didn't want to talk about Rachel anymore because He nodded and said "See ya after school." Than he went around the corner and disapeared. I sighed. Then I hurried to Class.
AFTER SCHOOL
"He's not breathing! Get the Oxygen Luke!" I yelled.
Luke ran over to me and the man. He than than put the oxygen mask on him. "Smoke filled his lunges. We need to get him to the hospital now man!" Luke said. He than called over another EMT to help put the unconscious man onto a strecher, then load him into the ambulance.
The other EMT, named Liz stayed in the ambulance and began working on the man as the Ambulance pulled away.
I looked at the buring building. It was almost put out. Luke came over to me. "Hey...are you ok?" He asked me, But I wasn't listening to him. I was watching a Bald Eagle fly threw the smoke, flapping it's wins as it looked down at me and watched me.
Yeah yeah I know not to good and lame end of chapter but oh well. Next chapter on it's way. XD
