Chapter 3
At five o'clock, Jake pulled into the driveway, the radio blasting "Let Me Blow Ya' Mind" By Eve, featuring Gwen Stephani. "And if I had to give you up, it's only been a year. Now I got my foot through the door and I aint goin nowhere. It took awhile to get me in and I'm gonna take my time. Don't fight that good shit in your ear. Now let me blow ya mind." Jake sang as he shut off the car and walked up the stairs to his house. He opened the door to hear laughter. "Hello?"
Marc, his Marc, stood in the doorway to the kitchen, grinning, "Your home an hour early."
"Erek told me to home." He grinned, "More time to spend with you."
Marc sighed and rested his head on Jake's chest, Rachel and Marco awwed from the kitchen. Jake looked at them, "That's the company." Marc said, his voice muffled.
Jake walked into the kitchen and sized up the "company" that was getting in the way of his "romantic evening for two."
"So, you're the one's causing my sexual frustration." Two blinked of them blinked, two jaws dropped and two choked, "Nice to meet you. Call me Jay, just to make things simpler."
"If you don't mind me saying, you are one hell of a hunk!" Rachel said, staring at Jay.
Jake blushed, "Rachel, that's techincally me you're talking about."
"Jake, when you get muscles like his, we'll talk." Rachel said, sighing.
Jay just smiled, "I'm flattered. Why don't we just introduce ourseves and be formal." He grabbed a donut and sat down, "Well?"
"I'm Jake, the other 'you'"
"You're cuter." Marc whispered in my ear. I smiled and shook my head.
"Rachel."
"Cassie."
"Marco."
Tobias.
Ax.
"Well, I'm Jay, and this is Marc."
"You bought us donuts?" A voice came from the doorway. "Marc? Jay?" The Animorphs looked to see what they thought was the 'other' Cassie.
"Where were you, Cassandra?" Jay asked, not even looking back at her.
"Ziggy needed his checkup."
"Riiight. Come and join, you freaks."
The 'other' Rachel and Cassie walked in and stole two donuts each. "I'm Rachel, but you can call me Hot Ice, or Rach."
"Just call me Andra." Cassandra said.
"Alright." Jake said, looking from one to the other, very creeped out.
"We know who you are. Marc told us you might be coming today."
The phone rang and Marc ran to get it. "Marc here! Oh hi, Erek...... Jay told you? ...... You want me to what? ........ Tomorrow?....... Okay. Bye!"
"And that was about what?"
"We have to bring Jake and the others into work with us tomorrow."
"Why?" Jay asked, his hopes for staying home tomorrow deflating.
"We can't leave them alone in here, besides, Erek wants to meet them." Marc smiled at them, "Is that okay?"
"Yeah!" Cassie said.
"Fine by us." Marco said, taking a long sip from his coolata
I'd like to see your work place.
"You'll get to meet Alex and Lily."
"Who are they?" Jake asked,
"You'll see." Jay grined, Marco moaned. "What's wrong?"
"Brain freeze."
Jay, Marc, Andra, Rach and the Animorphs laughed.
"Okay then. I know it's kinda early but where are we gonna sleep?" Cassie asked, controling her giggles.
"Umm, actually, it's almost ten o'clock at night. I think that time passes faster here than in your world, unless the clocks are just acting weird. Ax and Tobias can crash in the living room and there are two guest bedrooms." Marc laughed at the collective glare that was directed at him. "They both have two beds, don't worry."
"Alrighty then. Let's get to bed, we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow." Everyone got up and went their seperate ways for bed.
