Hello~ Me again! This chapter was actually longer. But it turned out that
it was too long, so I've split the chapter and I'll post the next one soon.
Meanwhile, *looks pleading* Could you guys please review? I need motivation
to keep writing, because there's a strong temptation to stop and go study.
So, pretty please?
Okay, I'll stop begging. I'm making myself sick. *sigh*

Does anyone else feel like raiding Charlie's Chocolate Factory? Marco asked. I turned my beady eyes at him and twittered excitedly, thinking but walnuts and acorns. I was a squirrel. We all were squirrels. We were sitting on a tree, supposedly spying on the house across the street.
Eric had said that this was where Katrina Price, Charlotte's mother was last seen. The house looked innocent enough. Sturdy walls, white picket fence, neatly trimmed lawn. But two houses down, a big black van sat waiting with its engine turned on. More likely that not it was full of Hork- Bajir ready to spring out at a moment's notice.
However, my attention was riveted elsewhere.
Acorn! Cassie squealed. I jumped around, nose twitching. I spotted the acorn. My acorn! Cassie shot off across the tree branch and skittered onto the road. She paused, jerked her head around, watching for danger. Then she speeded towards the acorn like a tiny jet plane.
Not if I can help it! Jake speeded after her. I looked around, twitched a little, then galloped after them, Marco and Ax on my tail.
Acorn! Marco shouted, bouncing up and down.
Acorn! I agreed, snatching it from Cassie's tiny paws. Ax snatched it from me. Cassie snatched it back from Ax. And we had a tiny squabbling session over the acorn.
I found it! Cassie whined, trying to scamper off with it. Finder's keepers!
Cassie look over there! Jake yelled. Cassie turned. Jake snatched up the acorn. Tricked you! Cassie ran up to Jake and beat him on the head with her paw. They squabbled with each other for the acorn. Then suddenly, we heard a deafening blare.
CAR!!! I yelled. We split. Jake and I sprinted towards the house. Marco, Ax and Cassie scrabbled up the tree. A white car zipped by, crushing our acorn into little pieces.
The acorn... Marco wailed forlornly.
I believe we let this morph overpower us for a moment. Ax commented. I began to clean my face, rubbing my paws up and down, a sign of indignation.
Ax is right. Let's all get ourselves under control. Jake said. He turned and skittered up the white picket fence. Since Rachel and I are on this side, we'll go into the house to check things out. Ax, Marco, Rachel, keep a outlook. Tobias?
Right here! Tobias was a hawk. He soared and landed on a branch above the others. My squirrel twittered nervously.
Keep an eye on these children. Jake joked.
Children! I'll show you children! Marco started to run after Jake. Ax and Cassie jumped on him to keep him from doing so. I followed Jake, jumping up and down excitedly. It was fun being in squirrel morph, since squirrels rarely worried about anything.
