A/N: I'm ignoring the California fact! * Plugs ears* you know the one that
said the Animorphs live in California. Toria is my voice. Meaning I'm
putting my opinions into her. A/N-Means Author notes, B/N means Beta-
Readers notes and M/N means Muses notes.

Chapter 3
Tobias
"What?" everyone said in unison.
"You heard me!" Melissa declared.
"Yes, But could you repeat it." Marco said sarcastically.
"Funny. I'll laugh later!" Melissa shot back. "When I'm in a coma." Melissa muttered.
"Good one." Rachel shot a high-five at Melissa.
"Great. I'm out numbered 2 to 1." Marco muttered.
Jake groaned "Can we get back to business." he said.
"Yes, Dad." Marco muttered rolling his eyes.
"OK. I talked to the computer teacher and he said his name was Alan Fangor." Jen continued.
"Alan Fangor! Dad's alive." Toria and I yelled.
We looked at each other with confused glances.
"Wow! You two are twins!" Marco exclaimed.
I looked around at the other Animorphs. Jen was nodding slowly.
My brother is alive? Ax asked.
"Yes." Jen said.
"How? We saw him get killed." Marco questioned.
"Maybe it was an illusion, like in 'Amok Time' McCoy created the illusion that Kirk was dieing so the fight would end." Toria suggested.
I was only half listening. Trying to let this all sink in. I lived with my used to be blind mother and her dog. I thought I was an only child and my dad was dead. Now I learn that I have a sister and my father is alive.
"Exactly!" Jen said back.
"My English class is in the computer lab tomorrow morning, I'll check it out." Toria offered.
"I'll help, since we have the same class." Rachel said.
"Me too." I said.
Marco gasped. "He can talk!" He teased.
"Shut up." I shot back.
"OK. Meeting adjourned." Jake announced.
Everyone, except Cassie, walked out and morphed to bird morph. Since I live near Jake, Melissa and Rachel, I flew with them to my house.
"Hi Mom!" I called after I de-morphed at the back of the house.
"Hello Tobias." My mom said.
I went into my room and turned on the TV. Champ, my mom's dog followed.
"Hey boy. Not getting enough attention?" I asked.
I scratched Champ behind the ear. On the TV was the Star Trek the Next Generation episode "Code of Honor." You know the one where Tasha had to fight a Lionian to the death or something like that. Toward the end, it appeared that Tasha had killed the Lionian, but Doctor Crusher had revived her and I started thinking that maybe Visser Three created the illusion that Elfangor was dead and what we saw was a projection of some kind. I mean the Lionain's believed Yareena (The name of the person Tasha fought) was died, but she wasn't but why? Elfangor was Visser three's most hated enemy. Surely Visser Three would have killed Elfangor if he had the chance.
After Dinner and after another Episode of Star Trek, I went to bed.
"Tobias, Time for school." My mom woke me up.
"I'm up." I muttered grumpily, but then again who isn't grumpy this early in the morning.
Champ began to like my face. "OK Boy." I said pushing him away.
I got ready for school and then ran to the bus stop. Rachel, Marco, Melissa and Jake were already there.
"Hey, Guy's" I said waving.
"Hey Tobias" They yelled back.
"Ready for the mission?" Rachel asked.
"I guess." I told her.
Then the blinding flashing strobe light came into view.
"Don't let the bus leave without me!" Toria screamed.
Toria slipped on a slippery patch of ice and a book she was carrying went flying.
"Are you OK?" Melissa asked, running over to her injured friend.
"Ouch! My butt broke my fall!"
The rest of us ran up to Toria and helped her up. Rachel picked up the book and handed it back to Toria.
"Come on guys the bus is gonna leave us." Jake yelled.
We ran onto the bus and found our seats. Jake put his backpack next to his, to reserve a seat for Cassie (B/N: AW). I sat next to Rachel, Marco slid into the seat next to Toria, and Melissa sat next to a friend.
"You're a Harry Potter fan? Asked Rachel.
Toria blushed. "Yes" She muttered.
"Cool." Rachel nodded "My sisters are literally in love with Harry Potter."
"You wouldn't know when the fifth book is coming out?
"Unfortunately no. Sara thinks sometime next year, because there's no movie coming out next year."
"Darn!"
"Hey did you guys see yesterday's Star Trek?" I asked.
"That was so cool!" Marco said.
"Tasha Yar episodes are my favorites!" Toria exclaimed.
"Don't watch Star Trek tonight then." Marco muttered.
"Why?" Toria asked.
"Skin of Evil." Marco whispered.
"I hate that episode."
We talked about Star Trek the whole way to school. Toria said she was an expert on Tasha Yar, so Marco quizzed her. By the time we got to school everyone was laughing.
"I'm writing a story about Tasha, Marco, would you like to read it when it's done?" Toria asked.
"An unspoken attraction!" I wondered.
Rachel, Toria and I parted way with our friends and walked down to the Computer lab. I reached for the handle at the same time Rachel did. (M/N was THAT supposed to be an R/T moment?) (A/N I can't write romance that's MY excuse!)
"You guys ready to go in?" She asked.
I looked at my sister, wow that felt weird. Sister.
The three of us walked in to the classroom. There was only one other student in there, Brandon, a known voluntary controller, Talking to the teacher, the name on the nameplate on his desk said, Alan Fangor. My Dad. Brandon was talking to him, about the Sharing.
Toria walked in and sat down at a computer. Rachel and I followed her lead. Rachel sat down next to Toria and I sat down next to Rachel.
Elfangor came walking up to us as we were typing.
"Hi, just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Alan Fangor."
I wanted to say, "Dad, I've missed you." But I just said, "My name is Tobias." Then the girls introduced themselves.
My dad put a note on Rachel's keyboard. She picked it up and the three of us gathered around to read it:
If you still fight the yeerks, I would like to talk to you and the other yeerk-fighters, in this classroom at lunch. It's empty, we can talk. - Elfangor-Sirinial-Shamtul.
A/N: I have writer's block so I'll continue this is chapter 4. Any suggestions?
