Alberto
Alright, we could morph mice, but me and Alberto have no mice morph, said James.
I acquired one yesterday, said Helen
Eeeeeewwwww, You actually touched it? Not that i'm afraid of touching a mouse, I said
Uh-huh, sure Alberto. Whatever, Okay helen get ready to morph the mouse. We'll tell you when it' clear, said James.
Helen swooped down. And we swooped up to gain altitude to observe the area. No one looking or anyone in sight.
Okay, Helen. All clear Do your stuff, announced James.
Helen started to meld and mold. Eeeeewww Helen, do you have to make it look that gross? i asked her disgustedly.
Helen made a face, i don't know what it was supposed to me since she had a beak still on her face. I guess it was Beakanese for "shut-up Alberto", but it's just my guess.
Helen was almost fully human now. But then i spotted something.
Yo jamie boy, Look! Some girl is approaching the house, I said.
helen! Keep down, somebody is coming, said James.
Helen nodded and tried to hide the best she could.
The girl rang the door bell, and the new boy opened the door holding the blue box. They started talking. I couldn't hear them, but Helen could. I could tell she was listening.
Her eyes widened. She looke up into the sky.
She started mouthing something to me.
The hurl wanted the chicken pox? Wait that's not right. Wait i almost had it.......
The girl is asking for the blue box! exclaimed James.
Oh sure, take away my thunder, i said resentfully.
The boy thought for a moment, he was was moving the box closer to her. He was handing it to her!
James.... I started, but he was already on his way with his Peregrine falcon morph in a dive!
But the boy turned the blue box back to him. He held onto it. I think he said something like No, Sorry. I'd liker to keep it.
The girl looked angry and started to walk away.
James! STOP!
But he was still going, it's hard to stop when you're going over 200 km/h
Daniel
"Sorry,"I said,"I'd like to keep the box here but your welcome to come and see it any time."
She started to walk away with an angry look on her face.
"Wait!"I yelled after her,"I'll let you ha-"but my words were interupted.
I looked up and one of the birds I had seen earlier was rocketing towards me at a speed of at least 200 mph.
As it reached me,I leapt out of it's way. It continued into my house and crashed onto the sofa.
Lynne looked horrified and came up to me,"Are you okay?"she asked.
"Yeah,"I said,"but I don't think that bird is."
Walton came in the room as I set the blue box down on the ground near the door and went over to the couch and looked at the bird.
Lynne and I were examining the strange bird when another bird landed on my doorstep and started to push the box with it's head out the door.
Walton started to growl and pounced over to where the bird was. The bird lifted off and flew out over my house.
I closed the door and went back to looking at the bird......
Alberto
Helen! James is in the kid's house! We've gotta rescue him!
Helen nodded.
Morph something that will be able to get james out! I yelled.
Helen looked puzzled. She didn't really have that much of a reputoire of morphs.
so i guess we'd have to go as humans....
5 minutes later.
I rang the door bell.
The door opened.
The boy answered the door.
"Hi i'm Alberto! and this is Helen," i said cheerily.
"hi, i'm Daniel," he said less enthusiastically. "Bye"
and he shut the door.
Helen gave me a look again.
I rang the doorbell again. The boy Daniel answered it. again.
"You're still here?" he asked us.
"Well yes, we were just in the neighboorhood and we noticed you were new at school, and we just wanted to say hi," Helen said sweetly.
"Well you did. Bye," said Daniel. And he shut the door again.
I rang it one more time. Daniel answered again.
"Do you guys have any lives at all?" he asked us.
"We tend to think so," i said jokingly.
"What are you really here for?" he asked us.
We shrugged.
"Well.... we kinda wanna come back for our bird. that kinda jumped into your sofa," said Helen.
The boy looked at us for a long time. "That's your bird? Yeah.....come in then," he said reluctantly.
He let us in. And we saw James on the sofa unconscious.
Helen went to look after him.
Helen
I ran over to James's unconcious body,
"What've u got a bird like that for anyway?" The boy asked.
"um...well, its a... um...injured bird, you see..." explained Alberto
"I can SEE its injured" said the boy rolling his eyes, i meant why is it yours.
"...Yeah? well i meant it was injured before it crashed in here, we were... looking after it." Replied Alberto trying to keep the boy distracted.
"I got him, but I think he'll need some water to wake him up, is it ok if i just run up to your bathroom + get some?" I asked
"Weelll..."
"Cant we just take hi..." began Alberto
"NO! He REALLY needs some water, from the BATHROOM," I added, winking at Alberto so he got the idea.
"Yeah, ok, but be quick" replied the boy.
"Hmmm, nice computer....." I heard Alby saying as I hurried out the room + up the stairs.
As long as he kept the boy distracted, i might be able to find the box.
I looked into the first room on the landing.. nope... wrong room, next one... YES, this had to be it.
I started looking round the room, not on the desk, not on the bed. Under the bed... no...
I started to panic where WAS it?
"oh.....there it is..." I muttered to myself.
On the very top shelf, had to be really, no way could i reach. I pulled the chair from by the desk, + stood up on it.
"I'm sure she's JUST COMING" I heard Alby saying urgently + loudly from downstairs.
I heard footsteps on the stairs, i stretched higher... maybe i could reach... bit more... bit more... The door flew open.....
Daniel
"I'm sure she's just comming!"Alberto said as he,Lynne and I walked up the stairs towards the bathroom.
We slowly walked towards the bathroom,I just remembered that I was going to show Lynne more of the box.
She seemed to agree and we all went into my room.
"Shouldn't you get your friend and leave?"I said to Alberto.
"Yeah....,"he said,"but first,what's up with that really cool box? I've never seen anything like it."
"What is it with everyone and this dumb little box?"I said angrily,"Everywhere I've gone this week,it's been nothing but:'Hey!Where'd you get the box?' and 'Woah! What's up with the box?',It's just a dumb little box! I found it,decided that it looked cool and put it here! There's nothing much of interest about this box! Now take your dumb little bird and your friend and get out of my house!"
"Okay,geez,don't be so sensitive."Alberto mumbled under his breath.
I turned around and grabbed Helen by the wrist,"Get out."I said.
They both took the bird and left.
Deanna
I watched, slightly nervous as a girl named Helen and a boy named Alberto storm from that boy's house.
They seemed angry, but werent anxious to show it so close to the house. Helen was carrying a bird, and I assumed it was another one of them.
I stalked them from behind trees and watched curiously as Helen set the bird on the ground. I could see her lips moving as she talked to the bird. Alberto stamped his foot impatiently and the bird slowly began to grow larger. I nodded in satisfaction.
I had made my desicion, I wouldn't kill them. I shouldn't. I couldn't. I decided maybe I could help them without them knowing it...or I could at least try.
The bird grew slowly into a human, whom I recognized as James. He looked tired and weary, but happy to be alive.
"I can't believe him!" stormed Alberto angrily. He rolled his eyes.
"How can anyone be friends with him?"
Helen shook her head and snapped her fingers irritably.
"We were soo close. Sooo close." She sighed. James just shook his head sadly.
"I think that girl, his friend, uhh what was her name? Lynne or something? Well, I think she may be a Controller."
"Yeah," I agreed under my breath. "She may be." I started to make my way out of there, to get away from them when a twig snapped under my foot. Helen, James, and Alberto froze. Their heads turned in my direction.
Uh. Oh.
Alberto
We saw a figure. And we saw it ran.
I tried to run after him or her but i was stopped by james.
"No, we have much more important things to worry about. She probably didn't see anything," said James.
"What important things?" i asked angrily.
Helen answered my question. "Look. Over there."
She pointed across the street, and he girl from earlier was there with Daniel, and they went inside. The girl motioned her hand in a 'come here' fashoin signaling someone when daniel was turned around.
We saw where she was signaling to. 2 jeeps were there. And out came three 7 feet tall cloaked figures came out of each jeeps. 6 in total. I'm prett sure what a saw were hork-bajir
"Oh crap," i said.
6 hork-bajir, plus 2 human drivers vs. 3 of us?
We weren';t going to survive.
Helen looked nervous. James looked tense. I'm pretty sure i looked scared.
"Battle morphs now. We have to get that blue box. No matter what the cost," whispered James.
