Chapter 7
Jay, Marc, and the Animorphs walked into the lobby of the FVP Headquarters with heavy steps. While the Animorphs were briefed of what Nerf day was, and were excited about getting a chance to play, the hazards of the morning had taken a toll of their energy. No one notice the figure sneaking up behind them. Jay let out a cry of surprise as he was tackled to the ground, a foam dart gun pointed at his forehead.
"You're too slow, Jay."
"Coffee..........."
The girl blinked. "You guys must have woken up really late if Jay didn't have his coffee." She grinned at Marc, "Got lucky last night, I take it?"
"No, Lily. We had guests. This is Jake, Marco, Rachel, Cassie, Ax and Tobias."
Lily, her brown eyes gleaming as she looked the Animorphs over, stood up and stepped over Jay's caffeine deprived body. "Hey! Nice to meet you." She looked at Tobias, "It's so strange. You're supposed look like my boyfriend, but, well, let's just say that mine's cuter. Even if you are a hawk, and he's a human."
Rachel huffed a bit, then blinked as three high pitched voices sang 'Uptown Girl'. "The Chipmunks?"
"ALEX! Damn, I forgot. It's her turn to control the stereo." Lily said glaring down a hall way. "Come on, let's give Jay his coffee before he starts foaming at the mouth."
"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah....... Coooooooofffffffffffffffffffffffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee."
Lily stepped over Jay again and dragged him down the hall by his ankle. "Come on. Let's make it a point to MOVE people."
As they stepped into the lounge room they saw a female Andalite standing by the coffee maker, stalk eyes twitching merrily to the music, well, one was, with other was rained on the door.
Hey Lily. She spotted Jay, Holy... Quick, get him into a chair! Jay, Jay, listen, the coffee just finished brewing. You're gonna be okay! The Andalite rushed to the coffee maker and grabbed a mug that read 'I believe in things that go BOOM and world peace.' She poured in coffee and handed the mug to Jay, who downed it faster than intended. This caused the Andalite to hand him a plastic cup of cold milk.
"Thanks Alex." Jay wheezed. "Alex, these are Alternate Universe uses. Alternate Uses, this is Alex. Ax's soon to be wife and mother of his soon coming child. Say hi and play nice."
Nice to meet you. Will you be participating the the game?
"Yeah."
I'm gonna sit this one out. Tobias said, It sounds like the game takes a while and me, being a bird, would get creamed out there, seeing as how I can't hold a Nerf gun.
"Actually," a new voice said from the door way, "I heard that it was paint ball this time. Hi, I'm Tethys."
