Mostly just an epilogue. Yea I know it's short but I never said the last chapter would be long. Anyway thank you to all of you for reading this story. Thanks to SilverCatofBast for doing most of the editing and beta reading. And just plain thanks for your support.
==============================
Viola jumped in surpise as she hear the Tiger's roar, she remembered a swirl of color and then found herself facing a metalic erect dog like creature with a sparrow on it's shoulder. "Mom?"
The Sparrow nodded. ::We're going to get you to safety Viola.::
"I don't understand. What is this? Wheres dad?"
::This is a Chee Viola. Your father is safe, but we need to leave::
The Chee nodded. "I'm going to switch the hologram, you have to stay close to me."
She watched the area around her shimmer and then the android began walking. Viola followed close behind acording to the Chee's instuctions.
********************
"Dad!"
Viola ran, breaking away from her mother and the Chee and embracing her father. Mr. Lawrence smiled, hugging his daughter in return. "Viola, we were so worried."
"I'm sorry dad, I should have listened, I'm really sorry."
Marco smiled. "I'd like to have a hug like that. Hey Rachel did you miss me too?"
"Not even in your dreams Marco."
Asgariem approached her family, turning back around to face Jake and the others. ::Thanks for your help.::
Jake nodded. "We can hide you in the free Hork Bajir colony..."
::No. We won't hide that way.::
Jake sighed. "Look you don't have much of a choice. It's the one safe place we have, unless you have a better idea."
::Do you have the morphing cube?::
***********************
Viola looked at her hand, it didn't feel any different. The blue box had a strange tingling sensation, someting happened but how one little cube could be so powerful was amazing. She looked up at her father, then over to Uncle Frank and the others until finally she focused on her mother. "I just concentrate?"
Gari nodded. "Think about what you want to become."
Viola nodded, closing her eyes as she pictured the image in her mind. Gradually the blue fur began to disapear, her skin paling as her stalk eyes disapeared in her head. It was a strange sensation as she felt her hooves turn to feet and her ears shrink and round. Finally she opened her eyes, looking in the mirror. She took a step back in surprise and gazed at the human body that stood before her. Stalk eyes no longer interupted the shoulder length red hair and her skin remained a pinkened shade without the need of make-up. She smiled as she wiggled her toes, feet large enough to fill out shoes. "I'm human."
Gari nodded. "We should go."
Viola smiled, turning to Frank. "You'll be living with us now."
Frank grinned. "I'll be careful about teaching you anymore card games."
Erik looked at his friend. "Card Games?"
"Uh, well just good clean fun."
******************
Marco leaned back as he sat on one of the hay bales, waving an envelope into the air. Two weeks since the Lawrences had left Marco had called everyone into Cassie's barn. No one knew what it was about, until they saw the letter. Marco smiled."It's got no return address and it's addressed to me. Three guesses to who it's from."
Rachel folded her arms. "The lab finally decide your human?"
"Haha. Laugh all you want, but she sent it to me out of all of us."
"Well theres no accounting for taste."
Marco grinned as he ripped the envelope open and pulled out the letter. "Dear Marco, Jake, Cassie, Ax, Tobias and Rachel.
We've finally settled in. I can't tell you where but it's a long ways from home. Mom has had to get all new morphs and I'm having a great time at flying. Uncle Frank has his hands full treating the local population and dad is still writing, although he uses a different name now. It's nothing like our old place and we hardly get any visitors except for the local villaigers. There's no sign of Yeerks or The sharing anywhere but I've decided to keep my morphing capability just in case. It's really great, I havn't spent so much time outdoors in all my life. It will be a few months before I can send the next letter, we're really busy learning the language and the next town is miles away. Until then I wish you luck on the war and don't give up hope. Viola Lawrence."
=================================
Well I hoped you liked it, although it started to get a little obvious at the end with the Chee ;) Anyway Review, write or...have a good day. Whatever, Ciao!
