here's the next chapter. enjoy!


~Tobias' View~

I was flying over my territory when I spotted Ax running as usual.

so I hear you have a new girlfriend? I said.

yes. Ax replied. I'm going to see her soon.

you guys have a date already? I asked.

yes. he said. we're going to what you humans call a 'Carnival'.

If I could smile I would have.

He reached a certain part of the forest and morphed his human morph.

He still needed practice putting clothes on, so I morphed my human morph.

"By the way." I said. "Where'd you get the clothes?"

"Prince Jake dropped them off last night. ni tuh." Ax replied.

I helped him put the rest of his clothes on.

He had a black T-shirt, a gray jacket, ripped jeans, and sneakers.

"So how are you guys gonna get there?" I asked. "And what about the two hour morphing limit?"

I noticed a few dollars in the bag his clothes had been in.

"I think humans call it a 'taxi'. ta xi" he said. "And I'll make an excuse every two hours and find a place to de-morph and re-morph. mooo rff."

We walked to the taxi.

"See ya Ax-man." I said.

"Bye. byuh." he said.

The taxi drove off.

I walked back to the forest, de-morphed, then went off hunting.

~Ray's View~

I was getting ready for my date.

"Oooo. Someone look dressy." Carly teased.

I wasn't really dressy. I had a gray T-shirt that said it red sparkly letters...

I'm A Bad Girl!

It had a black, sparkly, skull on my waist.

I had a black, open, half-vest, black shorts, a thin, black, headband, and sneakers. So like I said, I wasn't really dressy.

Carly gasped. "You wearin' makeup!"

"Yes." I said.

All I had on was a little gray eye shadow and a little lip gloss. But I've never even that done before... which was why Carly was reacting that way.

The door bell rang.

"Ooo! It must be him!" I said excitedly.

Carly snickered and I glared at her. She got quiet real fast.

I opened the door.

"Hey." I smiled.

"Hi. hiiii." Ax replied.

He took me by the hand.

We walked down to the taxi.

"So which ride do you want to get on first?" I asked.

Ax shrugged.

A few minutes later we were there.

We bought wrist bands so we didn't have to pay with tickets.

"Hey look." I said as I pointed at the sign. "There's gonna be a firework show later tonight. You wanna stay and see it?"

"I've never seen fireworks before. beeeee foruh." Ax replied.

"Ooo. We can see them later." I said excitedly.

Ax smiled. "Sure. shhhuruh."

"Oooo! The Himalayas!" I said.

It was one of my favorite rides.

We got in the seat and fastened the seatbelts.

The ride started. It was a huge roller coaster.

We went up a tall hill and then...

ZOOOOOOOOM!

We went down. I liked the feeling of butterflies in my stomach.

Ax wasn't expecting that. He gripped onto the seat as hard as he could.

The ride played music too.

It played Black Eyed Peas- I Got A Feeling

WOOOOOOOSH!

We whipped around the turns.

Ax was still clinging to the seat for dear life.

I began to wonder if he had ever been on a roller coaster before.

He was pale when the ride was over.

"You okay?" I asked.

"Uhh...I think so... soh." Ax replied.

I laughed a little. "Have you ever been on a roller coaster before?"

"No..." he said.

"Did you like it?" I asked.

I didn't see him.

"Ax?" I said.

"Over here. hereuh." he said.

I laughed. He was already back in line.

~Jake's View~

All of us were in Cassie's barn. Well almost all of us...

"Where's Ax?" Marco asked.

Tobias landed on a perch.

"Yeah." Rachel said. "He's supposed to be here."

he's on a date. Tobias said.

Everyone looked at him, including me.

"Great, while we plan a new way to get the yeerks Ax gets to spend the day with his new girlfriend." Marco complained as usual.

chill. Tobias said to Marco. if you had a girlfriend I bet you be spending most of your time with her right.

That shut Marco up.

"Wait." Rachel said. "What if..."

"What?" Everyone said.

"What if Ray was a yeerk?" Rachel said.

"If she was a yeerk then why would she have any feelings for Ax?" Cassie said.

"She wouldn't." Marco confirmed. "What if it's a trick?"

you just can't stand the fact that a girl likes Ax better than you Marco. Tobias laughed.

"No I can't." Marco agreed, then he grew serious. "But what if she is a yeerk?"

"What would she want with Ax then?" Cassie said.

Then the thought came to me.

"Because he's an Andalite!" I blurted.

Everyone seemed to get what I was saying.

"You mean she's going to gain his trust then turn him in to the yeerks?" Rachel said.

you mean if she's a yeerk. Tobias reminded us. she might not be remember.

"I guess we have no choice." Marco grinned. "We have to spy on them."

"You just want to see what their doing." Rachel teased.

"No." Marco protested. "I wanna see how he gets a girl like that."

We all morphed seagulls and flew off to the Carnival.

It was getting dark when we arrived.

We split up to see if we could find them.

After a few minutes I spotted them.

They were on the Tilt A Whirl.

It looked like the were having the time of their lives.

The lights on all the rides turned on and made them look even cuter together.

I noticed Ax had his arm around Ray.

Then I got to thinking.

Was it a yeerk in Ray's head pretending to have a good time only to turn Ax in... or was it like I saw it, no yeerk and both of them having the best night ever?"

The ride was over.

They walked over to the food area.

Uh-oh...hopefully Ray had a lot of money...

This was my chance to get a closer look.

I flew down just a few feet away from them.

They didn't even notice, probably because seagulls were everywhere around the food area.

"I'll be right back okay. kayuh." I heard Ax say.

" 'Kay." Ray said. "I'll order."

I flew and followed Ax.

He walked into an empty tent. I flew in.

He started to de-morph.

When he was finished he immediately began to re-morph.

I didn't blame him, it would be to risky to stay like that.

Once he was fully human again he walked back out of the tent.

I flew and followed him.

He waked right back to Ray.

I hope she wasn't a yeerk. I don't think Ax would ever get over it if she was...

After about three orders of five different kinds off food Ax saw them...

"Cinnamon buns! bunzuh." Ax shouted with excitement.

Ray smiled.

They bought about ten of them.

It was dark now.

They finished eating the cinnamon buns.

"The fireworks are going to start any minute now." Ray said. "Come on."

They walked over to the ferris wheel and got on.

I watched them for a few minutes. They mainly just talked.

The ferris wheel stopped and their seat was looking out onto the whole Carnival.

~Ax's View~

She looked so beautiful in the moonlight.

Her hair shined and her eyes glittered.

I put my arm around her, I've seen humans do this to indicate affection. Which was why I did it.

She sighed calmly and put her head on my chest.

I saw a flash of color followed by an explosion. Then another... and another.

"Is that a firework? workuh." I asked.

"Uh-huh." Ray said.

Fireworks were amazing! It looked like explosions of color! Some even made screaming sounds!

"This was one of the things I always looked forward to when my parents took me to the fair..." she whispered.

"There wonderful. fula" I said. "Just like you. yoo."

She made a gentle smile. "This has been the best day of my life."

I felt like the luckiest Andalite in the universe at that moment.

She put her lips on mine. I think Marco said it was called 'kissing'.

There are so many uses for a human mouth...

Instead of questioning it, I went with it.

It felt good. We both closed our eyes.

I could feel her heartbeat and her every breath. It felt relaxing.

I tucked her hair behind her ears.

see I told you she's not a yeerk. I heard a voice say.

We stopped kissing.

"What was that?" Ray asked.

I knew... it was thought speak...

I started looking around for the source.

I saw two seagulls flying circles over the ride we were on.

I also saw three on the ground keeping an eye on the two that were flying.

The other Animorphs...

But why were they here?

"Did you hear it?" she asked.

I couldn't tell her... I just couldn't...

I already broke the laws by helping my friends but I couldn't tell her...but I didn't want to lie either...

"I don't know what it was. wazuh." I said.

"Phew, at least you heard it too." she laughed a little. "I thought I was going crazy for a minute."

What were they talking about?

Ray wasn't a yeerk.

Andalites can sense in someone is a controller or not and I knew she wasn't.

We talked some more until the ride started again.

We got off.

It started raining. Hard.

We decided to go.

"This was fun." she said.

"Yes. yesuh." I agreed.

We reached Ray's house.

This time I went in the house with her. We were soaked because we had to walk to her house.

I heard thunder and saw flashes in the sky.

"The weather channel says it's a severe thunderstorm." a person came in and said.

"Hey mom." Ray said. "This is my boyfriend Ax."

Ray's mom shook my hand.

BOOM!

A huge flash that lit up the whole sky appeared for a brief second.

"It looks pretty bad out there." Ray said.

"Maybe you should stay here for the night." Ray's mom suggested.

I thought about it for a moment.

"Okay. kayuh." I said.

I took my gray jacket off and set it on the floor in Ray and Carly's room.

"You still here?" Carly asked.

"Yeah." I said. "I'm staying here for the night because of the storm. stor muh." I said.

"Meh, me go now." Carly said.

Carly walked down stairs.

"So what ya wanna do?" Ray asked.

I shrugged, a human habit I've picked up.

Suddenly all the lights went out.

"What happened? happp ennnduh?" I asked.

"The power's out because of the storm." she said.

We sat on the floor and leaned up against the wall.

"I'm going to get a flashlight." she said.

She left the room.

I watched her walk away. Every time I looked at her now, I remembered the lights of the fair, the way her heart beat felt, the feeling of when she kissed me.

I wanted it again...

I quickly de-morphed and re-morphed.

She came in with the 'flashlight' and sat down next to me.

We started talking again.

I couldn't stand the feeling of wanting her again any longer.

I put my lips on hers.

She had her hand on my chest. I felt her hair, it was soft and silky.

The thunder seemed to crack harder and louder, the flashes of lightening seemed to light up the whole room.

We both closed our eyes again.

I could feel her heart beat again. I could feel her every breath.

She was mine and I was hers.

I knew this would be a night I would never forget...


wow, I don't know where that romance scene came from... please review and tell me how I did. :)
