Cassie
*****

"Hey kids!" I said with a half-morphed horse mouth.

Rachel looked at me with wide surprised eyes, "Ca-Cassie?"

One and the same, as I morphed back to a full horse.

"Wow! How's it like being a horse? I only morphed a cat, but that was still pretty cool. Hey wait! You're talking like the Andalite!" said Tobias with a dreamy look on his face not looking surprised or weirded out like Rachel. That's Tobias for you, he doesn't mind the weird stuff, it's all the normal stuff that he's afraid of.

You morphed before? I asked Tobias.

"Yeah, just last night I morphed my cat. That's what this meeting is for, so I can tell you guys about morphing, but I guess I don't have to tell you," said Tobias.

Oh, I said with a little disappointment. I thought I was the first to morph and I was totally eager to tell Rachel and the rest of the group at this meeting.

Suddenly Rachel came out of her surprised face. "Wait so all this morphing stuff is real? Cool! When do I start?"

I tried my best to give a little horse grin. That's my girl Rachel she's fearless and always jumps into things without thinking the consequences.

I think we should wait for Allen and Colin first, I said.

Sure enough, after 5 minutes Allen and Colin arrived. "Hey babe," said Colin to Rachel. "Where's your black friend Cassidy? I brought Colin here for your stupid double date idea."

Allen pushed Tobias aside from Rachel and put his arm around her. " I brought Colin here, so when Cathy comes here it'll be just you and me babe."

Rachel looked mortified beyond belief. She was getting both angry and embarrassed at the same time. "We are NOT going to go on a date of any kind! You're just here to listen to what happened to Tobias last night!"

"What the hell? No you said we'd go on a double date! You and me, plus Colin and Claudia!"

If I were human at the time my face would be filled with anger and humiliation. Just like Colin's face right about now. I guess Colin didn't know about it either. Tobias was just looking around pretending not to hear what they were talking about.

Rachel rubbed her forehead in frustration and anger, "Look, I lied to you. Plain and simple. I don't like you, hell I don't even want to be near you. I only said that dumb stuff so that you'd actually come here. So be quiet and listen to what Tobias has to say"

Well I knew Rachel had a good reason, I'm just glad it wasn't because she suddenly turned coo-coo.

"Fine I'll listen to what wussy-boy over here has to say, then me and Colin are leaving."

Tobias started to explain to Allen and Colin about his strange morphing experience. But predictably Allen or Colin didn't buy it.

"I know the alien encounter was real last night, but you don't expect me to believe that the nerd is telling the truth, and that he turned into a cat last night," said Allen. "I think you are all INSANE to expect me to believe you wussy-buy, Rachel, and that Carla girl wherever she is."

"No we don't," said Tobias. "But we have a an example." Tobias turned to me. "Go ahead Cassie, show them your stuff."

"Look very close at that horse," said Rachel.

I started to focus on becoming human. My hooves started to form into hands and feet. My muzzle became a human mouth. My head formed into a regular human sized head. Allen and Colin were backing away from me VERY slowly. But Rachel and Tobias kept them from leaving. Pretty soon I was fully human.

Allen and Colin's eyes were wide in horror. Not surprising since they just saw a horse turn into a girl which not a lot of people get to see every day. Rachel and Tobias' faces had huge grins on their faces, they were enjoying the look on their faces very much.

"Hiya boys," I said to Allen and Colin.

"How did you morph clothing?" asked Tobias curiously. "When I morphed, well let's just say I'm glad you girls weren't there."

"I started testing out morphing this morning," I replied. "After a few times I got the hang of it, and I figured out that it can only be skin tight clothing. I also tried other clothing stuff like a jacket and shoes, but they all got shredded."

"But-but, what's going on here?" cried Allen horror struck. "Am I dreaming?"

Rachel then punched him. "If you felt the pain then that means you awake."

Allen was going to say something but surprisingly Colin cut him off. "I could do this? We could all do this? I mean we can turn into any animal we want?" he said with his look of fear on his face turned into excitement. Just like Rachel he overcame his fear and excitement came in.

"Yeah basically," answered Tobias. "Any animal, just as long as it's not more then two hours remember?"

"Show it one more time," said Colin. "I want to see it again."

I said sure. Why not? I started the horse morph again. When I was halfway horse we heard a sound of tires on gravel.

"The cops!" Tobias cried.

"Hurry up the morph now!" snapped Rachel. "Everyone stand in front of her!"

"Hey! You can't tell me what to do!" said Allen clutching his arm.

"Just do it" said Rachel. They did. They all stood in front of me.

"Morning," the officer said. "You kids, uh…hiding something?"

He told them to step aside but it was okay. I was already fully horse. "Could we help you officer?" asked Rachel.

"We're making some inquires," he said, looking at me in some strange way. "We're looking for some kids who were shooting fireworks in the construction site across from the mall last night."
Allen was going to say something but again he was cut off by Tobias, "What does this have to do with us?"

"We're not saying it was you kids," the police officer said. "We want to know if you know these kids. See, it was dangerous what they did. Could have been someone hurt. So we want to find them."

Suddenly I knew. He was one of them. He was a controller.

"We don't know anything about it," Rachel lied.

He looked at Rachel real close. "Hey don't I know you?" he said. "You look familiar. Do you know a boy named Tom Berenson."

"He's my cousin," responded Rachel.

"Tom's your cousin, eh?" Well he's a good kid. I know him from The Sharing. I'm one of the adult supervisors. Great group, The Sharing. You should come tonight at the beach for a meeting. It's gonna be on bonfire meeting tonight, bbq, sports and all kinds of stuff. Why don't you kids come tonight."

Rachel looked like she was gonna say no but then Tobias stopped her. "Sure, it sounds like fun. Could we bring some more people if we wanted?"

Rachel looked slightly shocked. But slowly it dawned on her.

"Yeah sure. Bring anybody you like. The Sharing always welcomes everybody. Oh, look at the time, I've got to roll. See you kids tonight!" said the police officer as he walked to his car. No one spoke until the officer was gone.

I started to demorph. While I was demorphing the others were having a discussion.

"Why are we going to that geeky sharing meetings. It's stupid. The Sharing is only for helping losers with problems. Why the hell did you say we were all going?" said Allen

"Because you're the loser who needs help," said Rachel. "You're the one who almost gave us away to that controller."

"A controller? Him? No way! He's a cop," said Allen.

"A controller could be anyone," Tobias reminded him. "And we know he's a controller because he was obviously lying about that he wanted to catch those kids because they could've hurt themselves? No way! He has to be a controller."

"Did I say you could talk to me wimp?" said Allen.

"Enough fighting," I said with a human mouth. I was almost demorphed. "We know that guy is probably controller, and this Sharing that he kept egging us on to attend seems like its very important. I don't know how, but I have a feeling that The Sharing is more than just a 'help group'."

"So we have to got to The Sharing-"

"And then we have to follow the Cop and figure out how to stop the invasion," said Rachel.

A/N: Hi!!!!!! It's me Jake the Yeerk Killer. Exams are almost over and pretty soon I'll be able to finish this fanfic off before at July 7th. Anywayz, enough off my pointless babble. Here are my announcements,
(#1) Just to clear this up for you, the creation of Colin. For some reason you people hate Colin more than Allen. I don't know why, he hardly talks! Anywayz, his P.O.V. might be in the next chapter and I might reveal some of his family history. Announcement (#2) I'm planning to have some characters make some cameos or even take a HUGE part in this fic, so don't pester me about "What will happen to this character?" Or "Will this character appear?" Well I'm done my announcements, and I hope I answered some of questions. See you in the next Chapter!!!!!!!!!
