Oh wow, i got reviews... And they're all good reviews! I can't tell you how encouraging that is, i was so nervous publishing the first chapter...
Thanks for everyone who corrected me. That realy helps.
SouthrnBelle - I think that spoilers would be unavoidable at some point, sorry. But I'll make sure to mention it at the beginning of the chapter.
McCoy's-Trial-and-Error - Oh, we all have our little obsessions :) . And I am grateful for the corrections. And when it comes to grammatical weirdness, English is a small offender in compare to Russian (my native language) :)

chapter 2
"Let me get this strait," I said for the millionth time now. " The sharing is expanding it's operations to England. Understandable. The Chee are there to spy. Perfectly logical. Said Chee is suddenly stuck inside some force field that is draining out her power. Not only that, but it's in the middle of a camping site for the new British members of the sharing. Oh, and by the way, three days from now the Yeerks will have a cool new android toy to play with. The only people who can save the day? six kids from across the globe of course. Makes perfect sense."
"Did you finish whining?" snapped Rachel.
"Oh, that was a warm up, i barely even begun."
"Well speak for yourself. I always wanted to visit England."
"Scotland, actually. They're both part of Britain," Cassie corrected.
"What's the United Kingdom, then?"
"Um, Synonym?"
"We'll just ask someone while we're there," Jake said. "Right now, we have a plain to catch."
"Do you need me to tell you how many things can go wrong with this?"
"No, i remember from the last ten times you mentioned it."
"Oh fine, lets get this over with."
I glanced to my sides. Everybody were already morphing flies. I concentrated on my fly morph, hoping my eyes would change first so i wouldn't have to see what's going on around me. My eyes were almost the last to morph. obviously.
So this was the plan. We morph flies, and get into the flight to Britain, along with the baggage. Remorph every two hours until we get there. Morph birds. Fly to the damn forest, and get the Chee out of there. somehow. Which meant eleven hours without sleep during the flight. Which in turn meant we'll have to camp out and sleep in an unfamiliar forest in a foreign country. And I'm not even talking about the actual mission here.
Oh well.
At least the flight was going smoothly so far. It's been eight hours already and i actually started thinking 'hey, this isn't so bad'. Which was the cue for the gods of irony to strike.
I didn't feel it at first. The surface on which i was sitting moving slightly, vibrations in the air. I mean, the fly in me definitely felt something was wrong, but i spent so much time in this morph by now, my human mind took over it almost completely. Thank god for almost, because if I've been one second slower, I'd die a very stupid, un-alien related death.
A giant, brown monster landed exactly where i was sitting a moment ago. i found myself in the air, flying near the ceiling, my human mind just beginning to comprehend what happened.
(Listen, guys,) i called the rest in thought speak (there's a very large spider walking around, looking for Animorphs to eat. I think I'll demorph and get rid of it.)
(Just be careful. I know it's quiet here, but still, we don't want unnecessary trouble,) Jake warned, always the responsible leader.
(yes, mom), i answered, starting to demorph. This time my eyes changed first. Figures. Man, was i glad there weren't any mirrors. My feet started changing, and i'm telling you: a tiny, already wingless fly, standing on two little but very human legs is not a pretty sight. Funny probably, in a grotesque sort of way, but not pretty. One minute later i was fully human again, standing in the freezing cargo bay, hunting down a spider.
I was standing above the now tiny monster, a small bag in my hand, ready to strike, when a voice behind me said: "Sorry mate, Would you mind using someone Else's luggage on your anti-spider crusade?"
A/N: Hopefully, this isn't too boring. But I couldnt just skip the flight, or sum it up with one paragraph, right?
