Chapter 2
We got to Syd's and I went upstairs to her room. I rang the bell. "Who is it?" "It's Rave."
The door opened, "Hey! Ravey! Come on in."
I floated into the room. "You know, Syd, that TJ is coming?"
She froze and spun to face me, "TJ? TJ's coming?" I nodded.
"Why wasn't I told this?" I cringed, when Syd's mad she, like her dad, uses this really soft and silky voice.
"I don't know." She started to rush around the room, cleaning it, putting her dirty laundry down the laundry hatch, putting her books back on the shelves. Like me, Syd loves old things, like books and movies.
Just as she finished, the door bell on her door rang, "Who is it?"
I asked, "It's TJ! Open up!" TJ called from the other side. I looked to Syd, she nodded.
I opened the door, "Hey TJ, what's with the packages?" He grinned.
"No way! You finished the hover boards?" Syd said, TJ nodded and gave her one of the two packages.
"All right!" I shouted, "Now you guys can go as fast as I can. Great! No more races!"
TJ grinned, "Right, let's go to the tree house." I nodded.
"Let's boogie." Syd said. They got on their hover boards.
We blew downstairs, "We're going to the tree house!" TJ called.
"Okay!" Rachel called out, but before we left we heard, or at least I heard, Rachel say "If the Yeerks were still here, we wouldn't have our kids. They'd be either controllers or dead."
"Or they'd be helping us fight, and I don't think we'd want that." Tobias put in.
Then Cassie said, "Right. To our victory over the Yeerks." Then they clinked their glasses of water together.
When we were in the tree house, I said, "Iris, tell me what a yeerk is."
"A Yeerk is a parasitic alien race that once tried to take over the Earth, if it wasn't for the Animorphs they would have taken over. The Animorphs have requested that their identies reamin a secret."
"Thanks Iris." Just then someone appeared in the tree house.
"What in the net?! Who are you?" TJ demanded. The new comer looked like a old man that was glowing blue, that's what he was, actually.
"I am an old friend of your parents."
"He's got the old part down." I muttered.
"Rave, hush." Syd said.
"What do you want, Old Man?" TJ asked, he acts like Syd's father, always responsible and knows what to do, and able to make split second decisions, yet can be just as reckless as his mom.
"I simply wish to ask, if you had a chance to meet your parents when they were your age, would you?"
He turned to me, "And if you had a chance to meet your mother at your age, would you?" I glared at him.
"You can't, no one can." I said icily.
He glared at me, "I can and, if you all agree, I will."
TJ scowled in thought, "Let us think, when we come up with our answer, you'll know."
The Old Man nodded, "Agreed." Then he disappeared in a flash of iridescent blue light.
