Author's note for chapter two: ((I was bored, so I read a bunch of various simmings, then realized I hadn't finished this, so I said well hey. Yahoogroups is down and I can't work on rps. Nobody's on to chat with. It's cold and wet outside. I'll work on my fic!! And then I open the file and discover I had already written chapter two, so now I'll post this and then write chapter three for ya! ::pause:: Erm, well, dunno why I told you all that, no doubt you're not really interested.. Ah, nevermind...))


J: "Hey! Don't you hit me!!" ::slaps Cassie::

C: ::indignant gasp::

R: ::glares at Jake:: "Nobody, and I mean nobody, not even my cousin, is allowed to beat up my best friend."

J: "I didn't beat her up, I just slapped her, and she started it."

R: "RAAAAUUUGGGHHHH!!!" ::attacks Jake::

C: "Rachel, what in the world do you think you're doing!! Leave him alone!" ::grabs a pillow which conveniently happened to be in the barn and begins walloping them both with it::

M: ::realizes the fight is two-to-one, unfair odds, but decides not to join in since it would be difficult to figure out who was fighting whom, so he climbs up into the loft to keep from getting hurt::

J: ::kick's Cassie's smallest left toenail:: "Don't you hit me on the head like that again!" ::pulls Rachel's hair:: "And you don't attack me, I'm the fearless leader!"

R: ::screams:: "MY HAAAAIIIRRR!!!" ::punches Jake in the nose::

C: ::whaps Rachel with the pillow:: "Don't you dare try anything like that again, Jake's mine!"
R: ::pulls out Cassie's shoelace and breaks it:: "He pulled my hair!!!"

J: "So? You deserved it!"

M: ::sighs::

C: ::whaps Jake very hard with the pillow, causing it to burst:: "Rachel's my best friend, don't you dare say she deserved to be fatally wounded!"

J: "HEY!!! Whose side are you on, anyway?"

C: "Um..."

M: ::shouts above the din and flying down feathers:: "SIIIIIII-LEEEEEENCE!!!"

::all action stops::

R: ::trips::

J: ::snickers::

::Nicole appears out of nowhere:: "TAYLOR! Stop pulling in things from the Simming!" ::dissappears again::

OOCTAY: ::glares after Nikki:: ((Hey, I can't help it, it was *necessary.* Besides, you haven't even read this to the best of my knowledge...))

M: ::shrugs at the weirdness:: "Um, anyway, so far we have established that Rachel can't have amnesia, because she already did once, Yeerks can't spell, Ax has been kidnapped, and there was a big fight in which no one knew which side they were on."

R: ::fixes her hair:: "Right."

C: ::begins gathering the feathers and stuffing them into a bag:: "So, um, what are we going to do?"

R: ::straightens lipstick with the aid of a handheld mirror:: "No duh, rescue Ax."

M: "I say we go over to his scoop and divvy up the loot."

R: "You'll notice that no one asked for your opinion..." ::brightly:: "By the way, will Ax's rescue involve a big, huge battle?"

J: ::rolls eyes:: "Okay, well, the Yeerks no doubt have infested Ax. Which means they know everything that we do."

C: "Um, that means they know the location of this barn."

M: ::glares at Cassie:: "You so did not have to say that, now the worst will happen. Murphy's law and all that, you know."

::the barn disintegrates and they realize they are surrounded by approximately 37 and one twelfth Hork-Bajir warriors::

Animorphs: "AAAAAAAHHH!!!"
