CHAPTER 4: AN UNCOVERED LOVE
"And I don't want the world to see me, cause I don't think that they'd understand. Well everything's made to be broken. I just want you to know who I am. And I don't want the world to see me. Cause I don't think that they'd understand, well everything's made to be broken. I just want you to know who I am." The song played on the radio as we stood in Cassie's barn.
"I hate this song." Rachel said as she walked over to turn it off.
"Well I like it." I said with a laugh, I got the feeling Rachel didn't like me very much. She didn't like the fact that I didn't let her get her own way all the time. "Besides, I think it describes you and Tobias perfectly." She blushed and walked back to where she was standing.
"No, okay Jake why do you think Batman could beat superman? Are you stupid or something?" Marco said as he and Jake walked into the barn. "Danielle, please straighten him out." Marco looked at me with a smile. Over the past few months we had gotten closer. The school dance was coming up in three weeks and I was hoping he would ask me…Before Trent. Trent thought I was still his girlfriend even though we only went on that one date.
"Jake, Superman is THE single most great super hero of all time!" I explained with enthusiasm. "I mean not even Cat woman could beat him."
"My god it's a female version of Marco." Rachel sighed.
"Okay, time to get down to business." Jake said interrupting the argument as he looked at Tobias. "Clear?"
Yep. He replied silently. Tobias was our eye in the skies; he would stay in the rafters where he could see everything for miles so we could talk in privacy.
"The yeerks have the Anti-Morphing ray. From what I hear their ready to test it." Jake went on and on until I zoned out.

This is all that has been, will be and was supposed to be. I didn't know where I was. I looked around and saw once again the mist. It haunted me, clouded my memories. I looked in front of me and saw them, the Animorphs. But they were different. I couldn't sense any knowledge of me in them. They were in a battle. David, David the Animorph. The one that had died, the one that was killed by the Visser shortly after becoming one of us, he was there. He was alive, and he was fighting Jake. As though he were trying to kill him. Do not be alarmed, that was what should have happened. But it didn't. So you have changed them, you have changed their lives.
I woke up right after that with Marco looking at me. "You okay?" he asked as we rode our bikes back to our houses. Ever since he and his father moved, we had lived near each other.
"Ya, just a bad dream." I said trying to pass a laugh.
"Umm…I was wondering." He said as he stopped his bike and looked at me. "You know that dance coming up and everything?" He seemed nervous as he talked on.
"Marco, actually I have something to ask you," I said interrupting him. He looked depressed. "Would you like to go to the dance with me?" I smiled as he said yes and we rode our bikes home.
* * *
The dance was wonderful. I was late though because my mother had tried to convince me into going to a sharing meeting and skipping the dance, but I declined her offer. I saw Marco standing on the side of the room all alone so I came up from behind him. "Would you care to dance?" I asked with a smile. Marco looked at me and smiled.
"Sure, as long as you don't mind me stepping on your feet, I'm a horrible dancer." The rest of the night went by like a dream…almost. At about ten o'clock Trent came up to me while I was dancing with Marco.
"May I cut in?" He asked politely.
"No." I said as I dragged Marco to the punch bowl. Trent came back up to me.
"I said, may I cut in?" he asked, I swear he had a little vain popping out of his forehead as he talked.
"Did you hear me, NO." I said rudely. Trent hadn't stopped bothering me over the past few months, I was starting to get afraid it seemed like he was insane.
"Dude, just leave her alone." Marco said as Trent walked up to him. Trent was about 6 feet tall and Marco only about 5' 5", an inch taller than me. "Mr. Dude." He added with a smirk on his face as Trent let out a punch.
"Hey!" I said. The whole room was quiet as I ran to Marco and helped him up. Trent stepped back and grabbed his head as I helped Marco.
"I…I don't know what happened. It's here then it's gone. It controls me, the oatmeal did it, and it did something, made it sick. It killed us!!" He started screaming until Chapman finally got him to leave with his parents.
"Here." I said with a smile as I pulled my arm out to help Marco up. When our hands touch I felt something. I can't describe it but…a light of some sort, something joining us. I let it pass and we walked outside where he morphed and then demorphed to get rid of the wounds.
"I can't believe he did that, are you okay?" Marco looked at me and without saying a word walked up to me and embraced me into his arms. There we kissed for the first time.
"I'm hunky-dory." He said with a laugh as we walked back inside.
