TITLE: "Adventures in Clubbing"

AUTHOR: Doctor Strangelove (strangelove317@hotmail.com)
RATING: PG-13
SPOILERS: Um, I don't know. No particular spoilers. Visser Three is still Visser Three.
FEEDBACK: I'd love it.
DISCLAIMER: K. A. Applegate owns the Animorphs.
A/N: This is a little mini-chapter. Very short. The next chapter's not Marco's POV though, so I had to do this one short.
TO REVIEWERS: Jinako-chan: You got the flu? Oh, I'm sorry. I hope you feel better. The kiss? Hey, what can I say? People like to kiss Marco. That's be a good chapter title. There was gonna be more "No" stuff but I got confused writing it. A relationship between Marco and Ax would have more problems than the whole "interspecies" thing. A point which will come up in the next few chapters. God, it'll be Chapter 10 before we even get to the Yeerks. Yes, they're up to something at that club, which I still need to name. Brian Kinney is one of the main characters on the show Queer As Folk. Which now that I think about it, doesn't make a lot of sense since I said Marco doesn't get Showtime. ...Oh well. Maybe he went over to Tobias and Ax's and watched it. Oh, you mean the Yeerk. You can hate him all you want. He's just being evil. I wonder what Tom thinks about all this stuff with Marco. Now I have to do a chapter with him, it's gonna bug me to much to leave it open. As for a happy ending. I don't know. I'm sure how this will end. I have some idea of what's going to happen, but I don't know about the end. I don't even know how I'm going to end this. Well, it won't be for a while so I don't have to worry.
Lisa-Ann: Yep, Tom's fallen for Marco. And Marco's starting to fall for Tom. Wait, that didn't happen in that chapter. ...Ignore what I just said.
Kay: *hands you some hot wings* Here. No one can resist Marco, it's why I wrote a fic about him. I sadly can't update everyday, but if I keep getting reviews like this one, I'll try to do it as often as possible. Glomping is a fine reward. But OJ's good too.
Aaren: I hope all the other chapters are good enough to make you dance into walls.
Aqua Rhapsody: You like Marco/Tom. Cool, well there's gonna be more.
Myself: Okay, you caught me! This is all an elaborate scheme to get people to eat hot wings. Actually, I was eating some when I wrote that chapter.

"Adventures in Clubbing"

Written by: Doctor Strangelove

My name is Marco? And yours is? Kidding you don't have to tell me yours. I'm assuming there's more than one person reading this and frankly it'd be too confusing if you all shouted out your names. And I've got enough else on my mind. Let's see; disturbing sexual awakening, demented bird boy, seducing Controllers, and a suddenly very attractive Andalite. Yep, definitely no room to think about names.

Oh, yeah, and carrying on a conversation with Cassie. I'm on the phone with her right now. And in the time I was telling you my name she's been rambling on about something.

"Marco?" Right. I should probably talk to her.

"Yeah, what's up Cassie?"

"I was asking if you're still upset at me. You know, for making you go to club and everything."

"Um..."

"Cassie's a lesbian?" Tom looked at me in disbelief.

I nodded, "Yep. Big 'ol lesbian.

"No, Cassie, I got over that." Hey, don't get mad at me. That makes me and Cassie even.

"Good. I just thought you'd be best for the job. You shouldn't be mad at Rachel either."

"Rachel too?"

"Yep. Both lesbians. They like the ladies."

"I'm not mad at her either. I completely understand."

"That's good."

I paused for a minute. There was something I wanted to talk to Cassie about. "Um, Cassie?"

"Yeah. What is it?"

"What are we gonna tell Jake about all this?"

"I don't know. That's a good point. What do you think we should tell him?"

"I think we should tell him as little as possible. Somehow I don't think he'd love the idea of me seducing his older brother."

"You're not seducing him, Marco. You're... using your charm and looks to make him want to date you."

I rolled my. A pointless gesture, since Cassie couldn't see me. "Yeah, I don't know how I got 'seducing' from that. And I'm not using my 'charm and looks'. I'm making myself look vulnerable to the Yeerk. Very different."

"How so?"

"Well has much less to do with my ruggedly handsome features."

Cassie laughed, "Ruggedly handsome?"

"Hey!" I shouted in mock protest, "I may be no Jake but I'm pretty damn attractive."

"Goodnight, Marco."

"Goodnight."

Cassie hung up and left me with my thoughts, which I'll get to in a minute. First, let me explain to you what happened at the club through the magic of flashback.

Nah, screw that. It's easier if I just tell you. I met Tom. We danced. We talked. We flirted. I told him I had a crush on him. I lied. He was flattered. He said he'd call and we could do something. Maybe with The Sharing. Evil jerk. There. That's the Cliff Note's version.

Now I'm laying on my bed thinking about everything that's happened so far. Cassie found about this club and sent me. Now I'm stuck having to confront all my questions about my sexuality, while seducing my best friend's very attractive older brother. A brother who looks a hello of a lot like my best friend. And that Yeerk's doing such a good job I think I might actually have a little crush. Add to that, Tobias is acting all weird and I think he might be trying to set me up with Ax. Which is really weird, especially in the fact that I think it might not be a bad idea.

It couldn't be something where we're in a threatening life-or-death situation, could it? No! Cassie had to find the club. I can't wait till Jake gets better. Maybe he'll find us a mission that's a little bit simpler.
