Not for Animorphs character-sensitive people.
Jake was sitting on the highest stack of hay, higher than everybody else. "Where is everyone?" he growled.
Rachel was lying on her side, thinking of ways to overthrow Jake. Startled out of her daydream, she replied airily. "Oh, they'll be coming. I made sure of that. Although it's your job to make sure everybody actually COMES," she added.
Jake went into a silent rage. "Remember," he said softly, "that I am SUPREME LEADER!"
Rachel consented, but barely. In her mind, she was up to boiling point with rage and anger, but just managed not to show the rage on her face. Do not worry, she told herself. Revenge will come later.
"And where were YOU?" Jake practically screamed, as Marco, Cassie, and Tobias walked (or for the latter, flew) into the barn. Cassie looked like she had been wallowing in mud. Rachel sneered.
"Well, for your information, SUPREME LEADER," Marco said purposefully. "IvebeeneatingnachosmakingsomemoneyandstalkingT'Shrondra. Any questions?"
Jake and Rachel were dumbfounded as they absorbed all the information, their mouths not moving, for once. Cassie was more cunning. "Marco, if you sit down and shut up," she said sweetly. "I'll set you up with T'Shondra!"
Marco quickly sat down. Having silenced this cultural moron, she moved to her next victim and held out her arm.
"Tobias," she muttered, as Tobias perched on her arm. "Go and keep a lookout." She shuddered when he left and quickly wiped her arm of any stray feathers.
Jake, having quickly recovered, addressed everybody else like only a leader should do. "Peoples, Ax has mutinied."
"Why?" asked Marco.
"Ax's exact words: You Animorphs are too primitive!" Rachel screamed angrily, as the stress ball she was stretching broke.
"There there, Rachel. Calm down," Marco said sacastically. Of course he forgot about something.
Dont. You. Touch. Rachel! Tobias screeched from high above. He had been spying on them from the rafters of the barn. How he got there unseen, nobody knows. OTHERWISE I'LL GIVE YOU A FREAKING HAIRCUT!
"I can take care of myself, TOBIAS!" Rachel yelled.
"I AM SUPREME LEADER!" said Jake.
"SHUT UP!" everybody screamed in unison at him.
"Fine! I'm leaving! Nobody deserves MY LEADERSHIP!" Jake yelled as he stormed out of the barn.
"Jakey!" Cassie whimpered. "Wait for me!"
Cassie, on the way out, bumped into Ax.
You humans are too primitive! Now I am leader!
