book about the Animorphs, have a picture of Marco tattooed on my butt -

picture of a four-eyed alien creature painted onto the school building -
might, might!!! - but: I. Don't. Own. Animorphs. Period. I DO own a copy of

Thanks for all the encouraging reviews so far!
And now, on with the fiction!!!
"Daughter of the Past, Light of the Future"
It was a perfect afternoon. The clouds were the big puffy cotton ball clouds, not the gray rainy looking ones. And the sky was a bright blue. There was a warm breeze outside as we walked down the sidewalk together after school. I, of course, was making jokes, getting a gentle laugh out of Fionna, and plenty of eye rolls from Rachel. Cassie and Jake walked behind us, enjoying the scenery in peace as Ax followed last, with Tobias behind him, both in human morph. Rachel paused a moment to let Tobias catch up to her, as they walked behind the rest of the group with Ax. Yup, it was a perfect day. So of course the universe decided that there was something wrong, and decided to change that.
We passed by a new construction site as we walked on to the mall. Fionna stopped. I looked up at her.
"Is everything okay?" I asked. She turned away, wiping at her eyes. Her face had gone pale.
"Ye -yes, I'm fine. Let's just keep walking." she said shakily. She winced as she looked in the direction of the construction site.
'What was that all about?' I turned to look back at the site, but all I saw was a bunch of bulldozers digging up the ground as more workers took down the surrounding trees in the area. There was nothing out of the ordinary about that. I looked again at Fionna. She looked as if she was going to be sick.
"Are you sure you're okay, Fionna?" She stopped walking. There was a distinct "oomph" as Jake ran into my back, still talking to Cassie. That's when I reached over and grabbed Fionna's hand, half running, half pushing her into the nearest group of trees as fast as I could. For some reason I felt it was important to get her away from the open as fast as I could.
"Hey, Marco! Wait up, man, where're you going!?" Jake called after me as I rushed her past the tree line. She was getting ready to collapse, Fionna's weight shifting to my shoulder as I put her arm around me neck to support her. Tobias caught up, panting, and took the other arm as she gave out completely. The others caught up. And that's when it happened.
The very trees around us seemed to whisper. Ax began to demorph, along with Tobias. Jake looked at the red-tailed hawk perched on a branch before him.
"Tobias, go and make sure we weren't followed."
You got it. said Tobias, as he flew off.
"Ax? We need your eyes. Are there any people near by?" he looked at the alien.
No, Prince Jake, but -
"But what?" he quipped.
Th-there is a strange energy vibrating in this area. It's coming from the girl. Jake raised his eyebrows. All the while, I sat on the ground with Fionna's head in my lap. Rachel looked to my hand and despite herself, smirked. I'd still had not let go of her hand.
"Exactly what do you mean, when you say strange vibrations?" asked Cassie. Ax mumbled on.
They are very strange. it seems that her body is emitting strange frequencies. it is making the trees and plants around her vibrate even more strongly. The vibrations are moving in the direction we came from, I think. I do not believe this is a normal part of human physiology, is it? he asked.
Jake! Tobias shouted in our heads.
"What is it? Are there people coming?" He looked up as our friend landed.
Not exactly. he said rather dryly. I know this is going to sound crazy, but that construction site we passed? All of the trees that were being cut down suddenly started growing really fast! Dude, it's just weird! The dirt piles are growing grass and flowers and stuff! It's like a gardener went around and planted seeds on steroids or something. and the air feels. strange. Like, well, I don't know, but it's strange." Fionna stirred softly. It was then I realized our mistake.
"Ax! Tobias, hurry up and demorph, qui-" but it was too late. Fionna sat up and looked at Ax with her own strange eyes, bringing her hand to her head. She craned her neck to look at Tobias's hawk form, and in turn, looked at each of us.
"Uh oh." she mumbled. "Please excuse me a moment." She turned to her side and started throwing up. Despite myself, I reached over and held her hair out of her face. "Someone please tell me that what I think just happened didn't happen." I looked into her eyes. They had changed from the indescribable color to a deep green, and were slowly changing back again.
"What is it that you think happened?" I asked. She blushed, but her eyes never left mine. I could feel everyone staring at me, now.
"I think that the site we passed earlier will make the 6'oclock news tonight."
Author's Note: La! Don't you just love me? Well, anyway, just remember to read and review, and make me happy, okay?! La, la, la! I love singing! Okay, I'm being random now, so I'll just go to bed and try to cure my insomnia that I have tonight. Until we meet again, parting is such sweet sorrow! -Starmoon
