Okay. Just to tell you, yes, I DO include Animorphs in this story. Just not until later, but trust me, read the beginning, or you will be COMPLETELY lost, got it? Oh yeah, Animorphs does not belong to me. The Uratians and such belong to me, but the Animorphs and Andalites and such belong the K.A.A. and Scholastic. I am so NOT looking to get sued. So, read on!
Taurus Together, #1 Separation
****Chapter 1
Hi. My name is Nova (No-:;vah). I am here to tell you that you are not the only ones in the galaxy. Sure you think you are, but in reality, you're totally wrong. There are many other species in our galaxy. There are the Vitex, the Andalites, the Yeerks, the Hork-Bajir, the Chehta, and a whole lot of other species.
My species particularly, is pretty much like your's. It is called the Uratains. Besides the fact that we have cat-like ears and that we live probably about a kabillion light years away from you, our species are exactly alike. Well...sort of.
I am a Hunath Quota.On Earth, that means I look like a Native American.
My friends names are Freesia (Free-:sha), Garthropho (Garth;//-ro-po),Yenta(Yen;;-tah),and Christian(Cris-tee-'on). But since most of us do not like our freshen names, which means our full names, we use nicknames. The nicknames of our freshen names are Frieze, Garth, and Chris. The other names, Yenta's and mine, we don't change.
Since I am Native American I have long, black hair and deep, brown eyes. Usually I am a quiet, idea person. You know, one who daydreams but still gets good grades. I don't wear flashy clothes or cool hairstyles. You see, I don't like to stand out and I guess I'm kind of shy.
My friend Frieze is exactly the opposite. She always wears flashy clothes because they go very well with her long, curly, red hair. She has long, dark eyelashes and these great, green eyes. Just to say, I am a bit jealous. She is so pretty, and I am just....plain.
Chris is, well, I don't know him that well. He just transferred to our section and a lot of girls are dying to go out with him because he has soft, light blue eyes and smooth, blond hair. He has a healthy, wholesome look. He is the coolest boy in our section, and he has only been here a month! I met him from Frieze and Garth.
Garth is very serious. He is the one person that is most like me. He is Frantic Demo. On Earth that means he looks African. His curly, black hair looks really nice with his copper colored skin and eyes. Being serious, he can see what you are feeling very easily, and he can point out the risks of about everything we ever do. Sometimes it bothers me, but Garth is a great friend.
Yenta is this child who, well, is really nice but no one knows much about her, besides the fact that she came from a different planet. It is a planet far away called Geagantous. She was kidnapped by the Skirt Na. The Skirt Na are a race that kidnaps other races to study them and steal things from their world. She was accidentally left here when they were taking another child so now she lives in a topiary. That means a family adopted her and this family lives in the best part of the whole section, thank the Ellimist for that.
Well, on with business. Yenta has straight, blond, shoulder-length hair and tanned skin. Her eyes are bright yellow and her hair has jagged blue, green, and red streaks in it. Yes, really. Yellow eyes and her hair was born like that. As I said before no one knows much about her but I do know she is sad. She misses her parents and her seldom mentioned brother Maui, who is at war.
****Chapter 2
I was walking home from my center at school when I ran into Yenta.
How's it going?I asked her, Is everything still not blown to bits at the science center?
Yes, it is. she replied sarcastically. Yenta is working to become a Scientific-engineer. But that is not our problem. I figured out that they are doing a report on the planet Myliy. They told me to come along because since they are going to Myliy, they would go the extra few light years to bring me home!
I said Good for you.
And that's not the best part, Yenta gushed, They also said I could bring you guys along, because you have been my friends for so long!
It was an old thing. We had been walking around the woods and had seen her laying there. She had halfway been wrapped in a piece of rough cloth, supposedly a horrible type of a Skirt Na blanket,and she had been on her side. We had carried her to a place where she could get some help because she was burned. Later, after she had recovered, a man told her we had rescued her and transferred her to our section. That's how we became friends.
You know how I said that humans and Uratians are pretty much exactly alike? One big difference. We are a bit more advanced than you.
Yeah. Just a bit.
That is so totally cool! I said enthusiastically A trip to Myliy would be the best! I mean, we need a vacation and I heard that the Myliysians are pretty cool. It would be even better than going to Rindiker. Remember, that planet with the cool sonic veins around the outside for protection?
Yeah, I remember. Yenta replied I get to go with you to Myliy too. They said that I should have at least another adventure with my friends.
I asked curiously, Just who is they, anyway?
They, are the 827@#5 Court Science Explorers she answered proudly
Wow! They're famous! I said admiringly
Then Garth and Chris came up.
So, what's up?, Chris asked
Yenta has the chance to go home and we get to go with her. I said, The best part is we get to go to Myliy while we're at it.
Wow, this is big news! Chris said, astonished So, like who's hosting it?
827@#5 court science explorers Yenta replied
Yikes!!! That is even cooler. Chris said
Don't you suppose they have a good reason to do this?, Garth pointed out, I mean they wouldn't do this without a reason. Giving all of us a very expensive vacation? Never.
I told you, said Yenta There doing research on Myliy.
You told me, not them, Yenta. I said
Oh. Yeah.
We all glanced at each other, then broke out laughing. Yenta gave us a look that said, Keep it up, and you'll wish you'd never been born. Needless to say, we stopped.
Oh, are the babies having a little talk? Let me interrupt it.
Great. Just what we needed. Dorhand the Dimwit. He had an absurd crush on me and I, on other hand, hated his guts. (Hey, I said I was shy, but I never said I was nice to everyone.)
Just get the heck out out of here, Dorhand. said Chris
Okay, I'm leaving. But only because my fair lady is with you. Otherwise you'd be obsolete. You know, dead.replied Dorhand
Ugh. Does anyone else have problems like this? Because I really want to kill this guy.
We decided to go home. I called Frieze and told her about the trip. Also about what Dorhand had said. She laughed at that.
She had said, I bet it took him three hours just to sound it out. We laughed
Frieze was ecstatic. I told her we were leaving tomorrow and she better get packed. She said she would. Man, this was going to be the best trip ever!!
The next day I went to the space station. I was a little late, but I was ready to go and I couldn't wait. Then I saw Yenta and waved hi.
Let's go!she said, Everyone is waiting for you
Wow, I didn't know I was that late! I said, surprised.
You're not, Yenta said, and giggled, Everyone else just got here early.
We got on the spaceship just in time to here the captain say, Leaving Port!
Here we go. I whispered.
On our way to Myliy, I got sick. I was queasy and I threw-up constantly. I stay that way for 2 days before I got better. Then I went up onto the bridge. Everyone was there. Luckily (for them), they didn't have motion sickness.
Oh, hi Nova. Guess what! said Frieze
Only 60 more light years to Myliy.
Where are we now?I asked
I think were over the planet Earth. said Garth, Isn't that one sweet sight.
Oh it's just gorgeous, I agreed. The planet was blue, with misty white clouds moving over it. There was a lot of water, and some land. It was beautiful. Not as interesting as Rindiker, but it was pretty.
This vacation would be great. At Myliy we could go to Milan Shamways and--
We're on attack!!We're on attack!!
Oh my lord!
Get the kids!
Kids go to the dorms!
We ran to our dorms and got under our beds. The dorms were protected in a force field so that we would have enough air if a hole was shot in the ship. We could hear sounds and yelling and then we heard a loud crack.
This isn't good. said Chris
The understatement of the year award goes to... Chris!
Then I felt something I did not like. Dropping.We were dropping toward Earth. The ship had split in half!
Oh man.
A red flash!
Then I was unconscious
****Chapter 3
After I woke up we were falling down to Earth.
Luckily for us, sort-of, it was night on Earth and we had our clocking shields on so Earth radar didn't pick us up.
SPLASH!
We landed in a lake.
I heard Yenta groan.
Where are we? Garth said, looking around wildly.
We are on Earth, I think. Chris mumbled, and for the first time, we noticed that water was seeping in.
We have to get out of here! I said, Get your stuff and let's go!!
Everyone tumbled out, after getting items from the ship. Then we pushed a button to disenegrate it so no one would find it.
We went to a place in the Earth woods and started talking.
Where are we? asked Yenta, repeating Garth.
Earth, possibly. I said. At around 3:00 a.m. Earth hours.
It's scary here.said Frieze
Well this is just great said Chris, Here we are, stranded on Earth, missing our vacation, alone, cold, and being bitten alive by earth's idiotic insects. Not to mention I only have two bags of clothes, none of which are winter clothes, when it is freezing here.
Great. Sarcasm. Just what we needed
It is not freezing out here and on Earth it is spring.You know, I think it's called May or something. It only gets cooler at night which is what it is right now. said Garth.
When are they going to find us? said Frieze
Uh, sorry to burst your bubble Frieze, but I think when we broke away from the ship, the other part blew up. That was the red flash I saw. Maybe. I said.
Chris yelled.
Are we going to die?! cried Frieze, fearfully
No, of course not. said Garth, Humans are like us, in a way. But they do have food we can eat.
I going to look around, I said, I'll be back in one Earth hour.
I left them as they were talking about food and clothing.
I decided, since it was 3:30 a.m. Earth hours, to look for food. I could sense internally where what passes for civilization on this primitive planet is. I was walking down a long street when I saw a man. He was watching me. I quickly hid my ears so he would not notice they looked strange.
All the time I was walking he watched me. Then, when I was almost a block away he stopped. I figured all humans did that. You see, every other year our planet studied other planets. This year it was Myliy, as you might have noticed. Anyway, we haven't studied Earth yet, sad to say. Then I might have know something useful about humans. All I know is that they look like us and how to read their language. And that is not very useful if you ask me.
Then I saw a store that said . I do know that means a place to find foods, so I went in. Then I looked around. I had my bag with me so I did something that wasn't right. After checking left and right, I stuffed a bag marked in my bag. I know it was wrong but we were starving. After stuffing other boxes and bags in my bag, I got exactly 5 beverages marked Mountain Dew and put them in my bag. Then I left the store.
When I got back my friends were waiting.
About time. said Chris, What did you get?
I smiled and shrugged my shoulders as I pulled out the stuff .
****Chapter 4
Once everyone had eaten their fill we built a campfire from the survival kit we had found. Then I gave my report on the situation.
We are in a semi-deserted area. The wood into this clearing is very thick unless you find the secret path that leads in. But that path is carefully hidden thanks to yours truly. No one seems to have ever been here so that is good. We are extremely lucky. When we go into civilization we have to cover our ears. This isn't a problem for Frieze and I but we will have to get a kind of hat that I saw at the for Chris and Garth. Yenta, you will have to wear human so that none of the humans see your yellow eyes. You can leave your hair because human children think that is a hairdo. Chris, you and I should try to get work. I overheard a human say you have to be the human age of 16 to try and get work. We are only 15 in human years but we can pretend to be 16 because we look older than we really are. Okay?
Woah, a new super Nova. Stronger, not as shy, and look, a very demanding tone. I approve.said Chris.
Ha ha. Funny. But this is serious. Who knows how long we'll have to be here. We could be 79 Earth years old before they find us.I said. I meant it too. I mean, I would defiantly like to be at Myliy like we were supposed to.
said Frieze, I just remembered something. Just before we went down, I heard the ships' contacting signal. The one where they are contacting the people at the home base for emergencies and stuff like that. I couldn't hear what they were saying but I defiantly heard the code. You know, BLEePP BLeEPP BLOoPP BLeEPP BrEEEEEEE.
You really heard that? Garth asked
Frieze nodded.
Wow. Then are chances of getting rescued are increased by 75% Chris said, That's great news.
We all were really tired so we decided to lie down on the blankets and stuff we had gotten from the ship before we had disinagrated it If we were lucky we would get a good nights sleep without being bothered.
Before I went to sleep I was spinning thoughts through my head. What exactly happened, where could we get help, what if we get lost. All of though were spinning around in my head like a hundred planets rotating around a sun.
I was the first one awake after our nap. It was 2:15 p.m. Earth hours. I stretched and yawned and looked around. I decided to look at the education building I saw. It said High School' on the the door. it had other writing before that, but I could not make it out.
I was looking in the building when a human child with curly blond hair saw me. She was tall, and she had very strange looking gray eyes.
Hey, you better get to class before you get in trouble.
But I don't go to school here. I said
Yeah, right. the girl said, If that's the case, I'll say you're my cousin. I believed that the tone she used was sarcasm, but who knew with these humans? They might think that sarcasm was something different.
By the way, I'm Anna. Who are you?
I replied
Oh. That's cool
We walked in silence for awhile. Then Anna led me into a door marked .
Mr. Tinily, this is my cousin, Nova, Anna said, gesturing toward me.
All right. Will you sit down? The older human said. I noticed that he seemed frustrated, or something, and that he barely noticed that Anna or I were there.
Yes, sir said Anna
Anna brought me to a rectangular table. I took a seat and waited for something to happen. Anna ignored me, and began to talk to another person.
All right class, go take out your science texts and turn to page #373.said Mr. Tinily
I looked in the cubby-hole under my desk and found a book labeled I turned the pages to #373, and I saw stuff we had learned when I was six in Earth years.
The rest of the Earths other classes were boring, except for the history. Did you know in the second world war they killed people because they had different religious beliefs. Strange.
When I got back everyone was mad at me.
Where in the heck were you!??shouted Garth, We have been waiting here for the last Earth hour for you.
Yeah, we were thinking of going out and looking for you, Frieze said.
Even though I know I shouldn't have, I lied.
I got lost. Earth is very complicated. I said
Everyone cooled of afterward. Frieze went out to get more food and we sat and ate.
We should stick together from now on. We don't want anyone else getting lost. said Yenta.
If only I didn't feel so guilty.
*All right, I know that this part is short, and that it didn't really contain Animorphs. But the next part will, so GO READ PART TWO!!!! Please?*
