Disclaimer: Same as the last 3 chapters
A/N:This is a really short chapter and there isn't much of a point to it. It's really only here to grant the requests of one or two people who asked for more R/T sap in Torn Between Two Destinies. It's not extremely sappy, but it's as mushy as KA Applegate ever really gets w/ R/T, and I have a habit of staying as loyal as possible to the real books.
By the way, as a warning, this chapter might sound a little strangely written. Good, but different than the other chapters. I wrote it the day my class finished reading Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry, and after you read that it's really hard to write without using like a million adjectives. It gets you in the habit. (Do you know how hard it is to read a book from the POV of an African- American girl named Cassie who lives on a farm, and NOT let your mind wander to Animorphs? It's hard, trust me. lol :-) )

*~Tobias~*
BOOM!
A loud noise woke me from my sleep. I blinked my hawk eyes a few times and focused them on the gap between a patch of dark green trees, which were black and shadowy at this time of night. After a few seconds a bright blue streak of lightning cut through the blue-black of the starless sky in the distance, and was followed by another deep rumbling of thunder. I felt something cold and wet hit my left wing, and took off before the storm could get any worse.
Beating my soaked wings hard against the howling wind, I finally saw Rachel's house, and her room illuminated with a single dimmed desk lamp.
I shot through her window and landed on her night table. The iridescent red numbers of her digital clock read 12:18 A.M. I was debating whether or not to wake her so late when she began to stir, and then opened her eyes. "Tobias?"
Hey. Sorry for waking you.
" Don't worry about it. I was only half asleep anyway. I was freezing from this storm. Maybe I would have slept easier if you had come a bit earlier and I could've shut my window…" she said, a little angrily. Rachel's always cranky when I wake her up.
I laughed. I said I was sorry.
She got up and shut the window. Then she opened up a drawer at the bottom of her bureau. Inside were a little blanket and a pillow, probably belonging to one of her little sisters' dolls. I fluttered in and laid down in a very un-hawk like position. Rachel got back into bed.
"Tobias, do you think this is the right thing to do? I mean, letting the Daughters join us?" she whispered.
I don't know. I mean, it's a good idea. It could really strengthen us. But it could destroy us, too, I answered truthfully, shifting in my little bed.
"Yeah," she said softly, sounding unsatisfied with my answer. Just as I had guessed, there was more she was uncomfortable about. "Well what about me? I mean, I decided not to join them. Maybe they don't like me, or don't respect me. Maybe they'll resent you guys for keeping them from having another team member."
I was kind of surprised. Rachel didn't usually sound this unsure.
Rachel, why would they think all that stuff? All you did was remain loyal to your friends. Decent people would realize that someone is not going to just leave their best friends for strangers, goddesses or not. Besides, you had an obligation already to fight the Yeerks. In my eyes, they should respect you more for doing what you knew was right. I know I do.
"Yeah. I guess you're right."
And Rachel? You know I'm always here for you. I care about you. You can always talk to me.
"Thanks, Tobias. That helps, really." She said in a tone that said 'I care about you, too.'
No problem.
"Goodnight, Tobias."
Night, Rachel.
