Chapter 5-Rachel
I have got to admit, for an Andalite, heck for anyone, on a traveling Dome ship, she had a nice room. I mean, you might think the girl had nice walls and decorations because she is the princess, but her room looked like something even Bill Gates' daughter couldn't dream up or get. Sounds like I'm over exaggerating, I'm not. The size of the room was understandable, considering her rank and all, but that was nothing. Her room was two stories; we had walked in the upstairs part. There we spiral stairs leading down to the next floor and they were a beautiful aqua like color. Her bed was on the second floor to the far right side of the door. In the far-left corner was a real waterfall. I had no clue how they got that to work. She had virtual screens of wildlife that changed frequently; the one I liked best seemed to suit me. It was a jaguar sneaking through the forest, stalking its prey. It was of the Amazon Rainforest. Cassie would of thought it was beautiful. It hurt just to think of Cassie. Why did her morals have to be so strong that she couldn't have finished off the Yeerks while they were down? I shook my head. I couldn't concentrate on Cassie right now, if I did, I knew I would begin to cry again.
"Computer" Godiva said, "concentrate on the moods of Godiva-Adel- Lithium alone".
"What does that mean?" Marco asked as the wall screens went to a tropical rainforest look. A look you would see on the islands of Hawaii.
"My wall screens react to the moods of the people in the room. Six of us were in the room, the screen was changing so fast to suit everyone's moods that it might hurt the hard dive".
"Their should be seven" Jake said quietly. Godiva looked at him sympathetically.
"Let us go down stairs" she replied after a moment of silence.
Her downstairs was almost like her upstairs. The ceilings were the same, a deep bluish purplish color. It was beautiful, I guessed it was the sky of the Andalite home world. Then I saw a picture of Cassie on what looked like a flat screen TV. Tobias saw it, as did everyone else, he took my hand and squeezed it. I rested my head on his shoulder and he kissed my forehead.
"I'm sorry," he said looking deep into my eyes.
I turned to him and he held me close. "It wasn't you who let this happen," I said dryly.
He grabbed my shoulders and looked me in the eye, just like a hawk. "It wasn't your fault Rachel, there was nothing you could have done but got yourself killed. Let it go, Rach".
I knew I was about to loose it, he knew I was about to loose it. He pulled me closer to him.
"Its okay, you can let it out". I buried my head in his shoulder.
"I love you Tobias" I answered.
"I love you too Rachel". I had waited so long to say those words. Then I did something that surprised me. I gently touched Tobias' cheek with the palm of my hand and he smiled, something he had rarely done. He leaned towards me and I leaned towards him. As we kissed, I melted in his arms. No one had ever made me feel that way. I knew he was the one for me. When we parted, Marco and Jake were looking at us. I hadn't noticed them looking at us. None of us had noticed Ax and Godiva quietly talking. He stroked her face with the palm of his hand while holding her close. She did the same and for a moment, it seemed as if they would never part. Marco coughed and that brought all of us back to present.
"I'm not sure who I'm more surprised at, Ax or Tobias. Neither of you guys seemed to be womanizers". If it was even possible, both Ax and Tobias seemed to blush. Godiva and I quietly laughed. Jake and Marco were both smiling, something I hadn't seen Jake do since Cassie battled the Yeerks on the blade ship.
"Okay" Godiva stated after containing her laughter, "we need to talk". Tobias let go of my hand and demorphed.
"Why is Cassie's face on your TV" Jake asked.
"It's not a TV, it's a message board that my fellow Andalites send me messages on. Captain Prince Asculan has sent me information on each of you and Cassie" she answered.
"Why" Jake asked.
"So we can know about you. And even though I'm probably not aloud to share with you most of the information I'm about to share with you, it seems only fair. We know who you are, you should know who we are".
I was getting a little angry, but not at Godiva. Captain Prince whatever should have told us he was downloading the FBI's files on us. Didn't matter now, though. When we landed on earth, everyone would know who we are anyway.
"You might want to sit down" Godiva said walking over to her couch on the other side of her room, "this is going to take a while".
"What are you going to talk to us about" Marco asked. "The story of where Andalites came from"?
"No. I am going to tell you of myself. Who I am and who my family is. I am a twin. My brother, Prince Brian-Dalchal-Estevak, supposedly died in battle. We are, were, identical. I am a futurist, he wasn't, but we had some sort of a connection. We almost always knew where the other was or what the other was thinking. My brother came out two minutes before I did, but he came out feet first. I came out headfirst. He knew I wasn't with him anymore. So he came out feet first, arms reaching back for me". I couldn't believe it. That was impossible.
"That is not possible," I said. "No baby could possible be that aware or do something like that. It just doesn't happen" I stated. The others nodded their agreement. Except for Ax, he smiled and shook his head.
It is very possible Rachel. I knew Prince Brian-Dalchal-Estevak. He was just as Godiva has said. Once, we were at an estreen showing and over 100 of your miles from Godiva when Prince Brian automatically knew she needed him. When we returned to their palace, it was just as he knew it was.
"Okay, so I guess it is possible. You guys have a palace," Marco asked.
"Yes" Godiva answered. "Now, I must continue my story. We were always close my whole life. When his Dome ship was attacked while heading to the Hork-Bajir home world, I heard him cry out. We were light years away from each other and I heard his cry. I had my father check the Dome ship's status and he told me it was destroyed. The Dome ship had to come back to the Andalite home world. When the ship returned, I learned that my brother had taken his ship, which was the size of a Blade ship, and attacked one of the three Yeerk Pool ships. He was no match. Some say that his ship was destroyed, others say that his ship was not destroyed, but captured by the Yeerks. Sometimes I hear his voice in my head. Mostly, I think its just memories, but other times, I just don't know" she looked at the picture to her left. It was a picture of a tall, handsome, guy with brown hair and brown green eyes holding Godiva in the 'carry you over the threshold' position. Both were smiling and laughing. I noticed the red diamond, heart shaped, necklace hanging on a gold chain around her neck in the picture. It was the same necklace she was now touching. It must have been worth many millions. Ax gently laid his hand on her shoulder. She gave it a squeeze and looked up.
"I know how you feel", Jake said.
"I know" she answered. "But, in this war, everyone must loose something or someone. My brother died for the good of the people. And it is now my duty to carry on the burden and responsibility he was born with". Jake smiled at her and nodded. She returned the smile and continued her story.
"Since my brother could no longer become the ruler of our world, the responsibility fell to me. I would, will, one day become queen. My responsibilities became more numerous. This happened about two years ago. My training to be a queen began. I had to learn many different languages, learn the customs of all worlds, and much more. My brother never wanted to be king; I wanted to be queen. He knew this, only he knew this. It was his intention that one day he would deny his kingship and pass the thrown down to me. I told him if he did this, I would not accept it. I don't take hand me downs". Then she explained to us of how her parents met and how she came to be. It took about three hours for her to explain every detail. When she finished, I felt like I knew who she was. But I didn't, there was so much I didn't know and wouldn't find out until later. Her message board began beeping. She got up and walked over to the screen.
"Answer message" she said. The face of an Andalite appeared. The Andalite seemed to smile with his eyes.
"How are you, Treownik" she asked smiling.
"I am well, Princess Godiva. And you"?
"The same. What is the purpose of your call today, my friend"?
"I have called to tell you their rooms are prepared. And the captain also wants to know if we should head back to base 1".
"Thank you for your news and tell Captain Prince Asculan I shall let him know soon".
"Yes, your highness".
"Oh, and Treownik, will you stop by later, you know, as a visit"?
"Anything for you, my friend".
The two said goodbye and she shut off her message board. She laughed to herself and walked back to us.
"That was Warrior Treownik-Barafin-Altacross. He is one of my closest friends. His father built this Dome ship. He called to let me know your rooms are ready".
"Our rooms" I asked skeptically.
"I have a question to ask you all" she began.
"What is it" Jake asked.
"My father, mother, and the Andalite high command would like to talk to you all. And there is much I have to ask you. I was wondering if you might return with me to base 1. The Andalite home world. There is so much more I could show you all and offer you," she said the last part while looking at Ax.
"We have to vote" Jake said.
"Go" I said.
Go Tobias said.
Go Ax.
"This is insane and crazy, but go", Marco, of course.
"Go" Jake, said. "One question though, when will we get to come home? And how will our families know where we are"?
"Our Andalite military is sending information to your parents about where all of you are and you may go home at any time you wish". She looked at Jake when she said this.
"Are you going to tell Cassie's parents what happened to her?" he asked.
"Yes" Godiva answered. "They deserve to know".
We all nodded in agreement.
"Well" Marco said, "lets all pack our bags as we head off for the amazing Andalite home world".
We all laughed as Godiva led us to our rooms. I had my own room, Ax and Tobias shared a room, and Marco and Jake shared a room. Ax and Tobias' room was a good size. It was big enough to fit five Andalites in there comfortably. It also contained a perch for Tobias and grass for a carpet. It had a little pond of water. Jake's room was the same size but without the water and grass. It looked like a regular room, as did mine. All of our rooms had dressers with clothes in it and Jake's room and my room had a joint bathroom. When we asked Godiva why she had human rooms made in an Andalite Dome ship she said it was because she had a vision that she would need these rooms. I still was a little suspicious that she was a futurist, but so far she had proven herself true.
"You all may walk around and explore the Dome ship. If you wish to visit the bridge, I have told them that it is fine and I have told them your decision to go to the Andalite home world, so you may go there. But please, don't touch anything. I don't mind, but Captain Prince Asculan does".
We all went our separate ways. Jake and Marco to the bridge and Tobias and me going to the dome. I saw Godiva and Ax a little in front of us as they too were going to the dome. Tobias morphed to human and took my hand. We began to talk about something we hadn't talked about in a while, his becoming human.
"You know, now that the war is over, I could become human. We could be together," he said.
I looked at him as we headed to a pink tree to sit down under. "You don't have to do that, Tobias. We can still be together. I want you to be able to morph again. If you became a nothlit, you wouldn't be able to".
"I know that Rachel, and I'm okay with that. If I'm with you, nothing else matters. Being with you is much better than flying in the sky as a bird or swimming in the body of a dolphin. You mean everything to me".
I was speechless. No one had ever said these things to me. I didn't think it was possible, but at that moment I loved him even more. A single tear ran down my cheek. He wiped the tear away with his finger and held me close. I leaned on him and he kissed my head.
"No one has ever loved me like you do, Rachel. I don't want to loose you".
"You would never loose me" I answered turning to him. He leaned towards me and kissed me. It was a sweet, tender, loving kiss that seemed to last forever. I wish it had. Then he did the unexpected. When we parted, he picked me up in the 'carry me over the threshold' position and spun me around. I laughed aloud. He gently touched my cheek and once again smiled. He began smiling even brighter, but he was looking behind me. I turned around and saw Ax in human morph sitting under a tree with Godiva. They were looking deeply into each other's eyes. Tobias and I crept toward the tree and listened to their conversation. I know, it was eavesdropping, but hey, we were curious. Jake and Marco came up behind us and did the same, we were all curious about what these two were talking.
"I have something to ask you Godiva" Ax looked like he was nervous.
"What is it Aximili" she replied.
"Do you think when we return to the Andalite home world you could attend an estreen showing with me and possible take a walk after"?
"Are you asking me out on a date, Prince Aximili"?
I thought Ax was going to be sick. "Yes".
She smiled warmly, "Of course, I would be honored". Ax smiled. It was amazing that he hadn't played with his words. He again stroked her cheek with the palm of his hand, but she lightly touched his hand and he stopped.
"I did not mean to offend you," he said slightly hurt.
"You didn't offend me" she answered.
"I get it" I whispered. "She wants him to kiss her".
"Duh" Marco whispered back.
"Shut up, Marco. Tobias, could you tell him that for me" I asked.
Okay he said using thought speak. Ax-man.
Ax looked up questionably, Tobias?
Yeah, don't get mad, but Rachel, Jake, Marco, and I are watching you and Godiva. We think she wants you to kiss her like humans do.
Alright. And please, stop watching us.
Tobias laughed and we continued watching them. Ax squeezed Godiva's hand and leaned in to kiss her. She leaned towards them and their lips were about one inch apart when Prince Penar came up and interrupted them. All of us, except Godiva, looked like we were about to kill him.
"Yes, Prince Penar" she asked not letting one bit of annoyance show on her face. But I guessed how she really felt. He held out his hand for her and she took it. After she got up, she released his hand and motioned for Ax to get up as well. The rest of us walked over to them.
Your father has called you onto the bridge the rude prince answered. Ax demorphed.
King Dralu is also on the Dome ship Elfangor Ax asked emphasizing Elfangor's name.
No Penar answered sharply; the king is not on this Dome ship named after your brother. The word brother was emphasized. These two really didn't like each other. Both of their tail blades were slightly shaking, ready to attack. Godiva saw this two.
"It's not a good idea to keep my father waiting. Let's be on our way," she said lightly touching Penar's arm as she walked to the bridge. He grabbed her hand and held it tight. I could tell Godiva didn't like this.
You'll never come in first, Aximili I heard Penar say. Obviously he had said this to everyone but Godiva.
Godiva is not some trophy you can win Ax answered angrily.
Yes she is Penar answered.
Ax stopped and we all stared at Penar. When Ax continued walking, it was with his tail blade twitching. If either had said a word, there would have been a fight.
"You know what, you can just bight my butt Prince Pee-head" I said under my breath so everyone but Godiva could hear it.
Everyone started laughing except Penar, who stared at me in shock and anger and Godiva, who looked back at us. That gave her an excuse to wiggle out of Penar's grasp. I could tell she was relieved.
"What's so funny?" she asked.
"Nothing" I said still laughing. As we entered the bridge, Penar was no longer angry, he was enraged.
I have got to admit, for an Andalite, heck for anyone, on a traveling Dome ship, she had a nice room. I mean, you might think the girl had nice walls and decorations because she is the princess, but her room looked like something even Bill Gates' daughter couldn't dream up or get.

"It's not a good idea to keep my father waiting. Let's be on our way," she said lightly touching Penar's arm as she walked to the bridge. He grabbed her hand and held it tight. I could tell Godiva didn't like this.
You'll never come in first, Aximili I heard Penar say. Obviously he had said this to everyone but Godiva.
Godiva is not some trophy you can win Ax answered angrily.
Yes she is Penar answered.
Ax stopped and we all stared at Penar. When Ax continued walking, it was with his tail blade twitching. If either had said a word, there would have been a fight.
"You know what, you can just bight my butt Prince Pee-head" I said under my breath so everyone but Godiva could hear it.
Everyone started laughing except Penar, who stared at me in shock and anger and Godiva, who looked back at us. That gave her an excuse to wiggle out of Penar's grasp. I could tell she was relieved.
"What's so funny?" she asked.
"Nothing" I said still laughing. As we entered the bridge, Penar was no longer angry, he was enraged.
