Well, you all asked for it, and thank you for all the wonderful reviews! And no, Pere, I haven't seen Animorphs XTreme lately, so I didn't know KAA was taken over! L
We were at the food court for our usual monthly meeting. Marco and Ax were at the bookstore, which left Jake, Cassie, Tobias, and me at the table.
"Here they come,"
Tobias said, always keeping a lookout on things, "and they don't look happy."
We found out why soon enough.
"It began with
six. It will end in five…" I read aloud.
"There are
still six," Ax interjected. "Six. Ix. Exxsuh."
"Thank you,
Ax," Marco interrupted. "And stop licking that spot on the table before people
start staring."
"They are
already staring. Already. Dee. Sta-ring. Rink. Ing-nguh."
"Okay," I said
after we skimmed the book. "As far as I remember, I'm still alive, we still
haven't gone public about the way, we still have the auxiliary Animorphs, and
the Yeerks never got the morphing cube."
"Well, we did
tell KAA to write in a coupe of fictitious things about us to throw the Yeerks
off track, but it's getting ridiculous!" Cassie pointed out.
"And what's
with all the ghostwriters lately? I mean, we haven't even spoken to the woman
in months!" Tobias added.
Jake sat
solemnly in thought. "Do you think they've got her?"
"Only
explanation, man. She did the best she could. It's time to move on."
"Harsh--" I
started.
"Tobias
finished my sentence, "—but true."
"So, what now?"
Cassie asked.
"We'll find a
new way to get the message across, Cass. It'll be okay."
