Disclaimer: So, I don't own Animorphs, right? Okay. I've gotten that out of
the way, now, so there you go. Oh, and don't you just love my cliff
hangers? La! Well, moving on. . .
"Anata no koto wo omou
Sore dake de mamida ga
Ima afuredashite kuru yo
Hakanai omoi zutto
Donna toki demo negau yo
Anata ni todoku you ni to. . ."
"I think of you
And that alone is enough
To make the tears start to flow now
I always, always wish
That these fleeting thoughts
Would reach you. . ."
chorus from "My Will" by dream
"Daughter of the Past, Light of the Future"
"Um, Marco?" I turned to look down at Fionna, whom I was still supporting her in my arms.
"What?" I asked, still dumbfounded.
"Do you think Ax could morph so we can go and see how big of a mess I made?" That definitely got everyone's attention.
"Wait a sec. Let's just rewind here a bit," said Rachel. "How do you know that that's Ax?"
"Well, the Ellimist told you about me, did he not?" Fionna rolled her eyes. "You should know that if the Ellimist knows who you are, then I most certainly know of you, and what you're trying to do for this planet." She smiled. "In fact, I'd like to thank you for protecting it."
"Oh, well - I suppose we should go and look to see what's happened. . ." said Jake. "Go ahead and morph, Ax."
"Ye-yes, Prince Jake." He began his human morph again. For once, I Rachel was speechless. Fionna pushed up off the ground, but when she stood up on her feet, almost fell over again. I reached over to catch her from behind. Fionna blushed.
"I guess I'm more tired than I thought." She mumbled. "Marco, would you -"
"Yes." I cut her off as I put her arms around my neck from behind as I slipped my arms around her legs, lifting Fionna up onto my back. Funny, it was like second nature to me when I'd never picked anyone up like that before. . .
Everyone was staring at us again. I thought I saw a hint of a smile play across Cassie's face.
"Well, if we're all ready, let's go and see what the damage is." Said Jake.
We ran back to the sidewalk where we'd left. It was like "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" or something. The trees that the workers had been trying to cut down suddenly started growing, and had put out branches so fast that the workers had run off in fear. The trees were growing, losing leaves, growing more leaves, and starting all over again. The ground had sprouted tall grass and wild bushes all over the place, even on the equipment and bulldozers the people had been using.
"Uh, oh. . ." Fionna mumbled.
"You keep saying that." said Jake. "Can you fix this?" he asked, a little more than awed.
"Well, I can't un-grow the trees, if that's what you mean. . . but I can slow down their growing process to a normal speed."
"That's fine. . ."was all he said.
All of a sudden, the air around us went cold, like stepping outside in a snow storm without a jacket. Something like a shock-wave shot through the ground beneath our feet, and when we looked at the construction site again, the super-garden had stopped growing.
"Marco?" Fionna whispered. I turned my head to get a good look at her. She was exhausted.
"Wh-what is it?" I asked.
"I'm glad you found me again." She reached over and kissed my cheek, then fainted.
"WHAT. . .?" I turned red. 'She kissed me?! A girl kissed me?!'
"I think we need to talk. . . Marco? Do you think you can carry her to my house? The barn is closest from here. . ." Cassie tilted her head, looking at Fionna. I realized everyone had seen her kiss me
"Yeah, I can carry her."
"I think the Ellimist was right when he said Fionna is a powerful being." Ax said.
"Gee, you think?" Rachel, again. "I don't know about you, but that was just strange. Even if that weird plant thing hadn't happened, the fact that she kissed Marco just proves that she's not human. . ."
I was still in shock. A girl, a beautiful, intelligent girl kissed me?
"Marco? Are you okay?" Jake asked, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
"She kissed me. . ." I mumbled, dumbfounded. "Fionna kissed me. . ."
We'll have to remember that if Marco will stop talking if a girl kisses him. remarked Tobias dryly.
"Marco, what do you suppose she meant when she said you found her again?" asked Ax.
"I don't know. . ."
Author's Note: La! Another day, another chapter. Mysterious plant life behavior? Fionna claiming that Marco's found her again? A girl KISSED MARCO?!?! What strange and twisted things await you all now, only my large brain can tell! Sorry, if I had some strangely placed periods in all of the previous chapters! I just realized that when I type an ellipsis, it ends up being a single period, so I now have to type out three separate periods. I might go back and correct that, I don't know. Well, you know the drill, READ AND REVIEW or you'll disappoint this lovely short person! Okay? I'm glad we've reached an understanding. *giggles manically as she points at the audience, holding her violin* If you don't review, I'll play loud scratchy notes on my violin that'll make you wish I was scratching my nails on a chalkboard instead!!! Well, until I type again -Starmoon
