Kyle

I was leaning against the tree near Daniel's house where he used to live. I was supposed to be looking out to see if Daniel would swing by here because he seemed a bit mad just as soon as the meeting was over, because James and Joey wouldn't agree on him ever seeing his parents again because of the giant risk. While i was waiting and watching for Daniel, I saw my friend Lynne and she stopped by to talk to me.

"Long time no see Lynne," i said.

"No...long time no speak," she said. "I've seen you around and i'm pretty sure you've seen me around, it's just that you never come to talk to your best friend."

i was surprised to hear her say that. I guess i really did stop hanging out with her after Elfangor, but i was caught up in something way more important that most people wouldn't comprehend. But it still hurt me when she said those words, I guess she saw it too,.

"Don't worry about it Kyle, don't explain your actions, I have new friends too. If you haven't noticed. My friends are all at The sharing. It's a great group. You should come by and check us out if you're not too busy to forget about me a second time ," she said smiling.

The Sharing. A front organization for the Yeerks. Suddenly an image in my head of Lynne being forced against her own will to walk down the same pier in the Yeerk Pool. I shook the image off. She's not a Yeerk, i told myself. Just caught up with the wrong people.

"I'm sorry Lynne. But i am really busy. I'll try and make it next time," i said.

She seemed to look angry but calmed down a second afterwards. She shrugged. "No biggie, i just thought you'd just like to come. See you around Kyle."

And she walked away with something more to think about, but i tried to concentrate at the task at hand. After 10 minutes of waiting for any signs of Daniel i heard a rustling sound. I turned around expecting to see Lynne again but i was facing none other than the person i was waiting for. Daniel.

"Oh hey Daniel. What are you doing here?" I asked him cheerily.

"I used to live here, and i was just visitng" he said wearily "But what are YOU doing here?"

"Me? Um..I...er...," i started.

"James sent you to spy on me. He doesn't trust me," he said suspicously.

"James didn't send me," i half lied. after all, Joey and James sent me."I came on my own to check on you, and i thought you might come here."

He looked at me with beady eyes. "Okay, then who was the girl?" he asked in a demanding voice.

I was taken back from him. What interest did he have in Lynne? "Oh she's just an old friend. Come on. Let's bring you home."

He nodded, but he nodded while staring at his house. "Yeah...home. Let's go." He took one last look and then we left.

James

It was another meeting, but this time at My house, and this time Alberto was awake. Kyle told us all about what happened and how strange Daniel had acted, and seemed interested with Kyle's friend named Lynne. I didn't know what was going through his mind, but i'm not good at those things.

We were gathered here at my house to discuss about a semi-mission tonight, but not invloving Yeerks.

"Okay,as you all know, we have discussed earlier that we might need more morphs for later day purposes but we can't all go to The Gardens all at once," I said. "Joey will go with one team one night. And i'll go with one team another night. Joey will announce who will be going with his team tonight."

Joey stepped forward. "Team #1 will be ME, Kyle, Daniel and Caitlin," Joey said.

I noticed Daniel's eyes light up when we said he was going tonight. I didn't think much about it. But i guessed it was just because he wanted a new morph.

"Team #2 will be James, Helen, and Alberto," he said.

"WHAT??!!" said Alberto.

"HEY! You, me and James weren't such a bad team when we worked together," said Helen.

"Huh? No! I'm not talking about that! The Toronto Raptors beat the 76'ers! And i was bet $20 the 76'ers would win!" Alberto said. He was smiling. Then he noticed the looks on our faces.

"Yeah, that's the exact face i had when i learned they lost," he said.

Joey sighed.

"Hey, I'm the one who's in his team, Not you! remember?" I reminded him.

Joey

We first told our parents all the lies about where we were going minues Daniel. Then we were set and we set off after the Gardens were closed. Luckily they were closed early today, according to Kyle at least.

He was right and we got into the back exhibits no problem. I looked at Caitlin, she seemed gloomy.

"What's wrong?" i asked her.

"It's nothing...it's just that.....Lauren. We had fun the last time we were here and it makes me feel bad that i'm the one who still has my own body and morphing powers. I want her to be here also," she said.

I nodded. I remembered the Yeerk Pool and the shock and horror of the sound of the voice of Lauren's voice when she couldn't moprh back. It was horrible feeling. "Yeah, I understand your pain, but it's the past. I would change it if i could without a doubt, or switch my place with her. But i can't do anything about it, and neither can anyone else.

He still didn't seem satisfied with that. But she seemed a little bit cheered up. I looked at Kyle.

"Kyle where do we go first?" i asked him tryign to focus us back to the mission of getting more morphs.

Kyle stopped and thought for a moment. "Let's go to the Lion exhibit. I want a lion moprh just like Daniel. It's way more powerful then a hyena."

I let him lead the way and i caught Daniel's glance of hatred. I bet he didn't like how Kyle was ripping off his own morph.

After 5 mintues we arrived at a door and Kyle opened it. There was a cage bloocking us to the Lions area. Kyle opened it up and we went in catiously. We could see the Lions sleeping. Lucky for us.

"Let's go battle morphs," i said. "Just in case there's any trouble for Kyle."

In a few minutes there was standing a Bear, a Hork-Bajir, and a Male lion. Plus a measly human boy.

Kyle moved to the nearest Lion. He was walking very slowly with no sound, we moved slowly behing him too. Kyle hand moved up ready to touch the Lion and acquire it's DNA. Within seconds he'd be able to become it.

"Stop right there!" a voice said.

We turned around. There, standing was a security guard. But unlucky for us holding a Dracon beam and with 2 Hork-Bajir and 3 taxxons by his side.

Kyle

Kyle! Get ready! In about 3 seconds we'll attack them. Run and hide as soon as we do that!

"Hmph...dumb andalite bandits...always...."

But right then they Attacked. And i ran, but before that i saw Joey jump at the nearest Hork-Bajir and have Caitlin do her stuff, and Daniel.....hey.....where was Daniel?

TSEEEW!! TSEEEW!! The security guard! He was shoooting at me!

I ducked but then tripped face flat onto the floor...er...grass. Suddnely i felt a something approach me. I lifted up my head and i was face to face with a Lioness. Technically Lionesses are stronger and probably have faster reflexes than Male lions since they do all the hunting.

I touched it's leg. Any second now it would go into a trance leaving me free to run away as cowardly as possbilbe with no girls watching.

"Grrrr...."

huh? I was acquireing it. i looked up at it's face at it wa growling at me. Not at all in a trance. i let go and backed away slowly. It started advancing towards me. I kne i shouldn't have ran, but instinct told me too. But as lightning the Lioness was after me.

Then i ran into a 7-foot razor blade. It was holding a dracon beam. I guess this was the end....I put back my fist and punched the Hork-Bajir as hard as i could.

Kyle? What are you doing? I'm trying to stun the Lioness over there, said Joey.

TSEEEW!! TSEEEW!!

The Lioness got stunned inches away from me. I walked back with Joey, to find Caitlin still in bear morph watch fasinated as the Taxxons were devouring the Hork-Bajir controllers, the security guard, and themselves. With no Daniel in sight.

We decided that it was best to leave the taxxons to do dirty work for us.

Then a figure appeared at the doorway. Holding a Dracon beam.

"Stay right there Andalites!" said a girl's voice.

Lynne?

End of Book #1

A/N: This is the end of Book #1. Originally the ending to #1 involved OMEGA and his visions to everyone, but that just made it a completely confusing story. So this chapter was not originally part of it, and probably neither will be the first chapters of #2. and speaking of book #2, If you want me us to put it up for you just say so, cause we don't know if you want it.

And also #2 The Traitor,will be something like #21, with some of the same scenes but the ending of #2 is unexpected. Well at least it was with the original copies. So here ends #1 and hopefully if you want it, we'll see you in #2.

- Marco da Magnificent. And in the background, Far, far, far, far in the background is the Co-authors of this story, UKani, Jan Girl, ME (Not Me, but the guy with the SN ME. Who originally had this idea. thanks ME!), Hope, EllimistGirl, North, Animaniac, OMEGA, Animan, and Magilex.
