Disclaimer: Grrr. . . I don't OWN Animorphs, okay? You sick lawyer people
you. . . *sigh* Well, I guess I'll get over the damage done to my pride
eventually. Don't worry, I feel for all you people who want to own Marco
and Ax. I understand your pain!

It was all awkward.
We went the long way, didn't we?
We got there in the end."

Fionna went home with Cassie. None of us knew where she lived, and it didn't look like she was going anywhere else anyway. We got her to wake up long enough to call and leave a message on her answering machine before she fell asleep again. None of us said very much. We just sort of hung around - Cassie employed Jake and Ax to move cages for her as Rachel sat doing her homework and Tobias preened his feathers out of habit. I sat on a pile of hay, looking at her pale, tired face. Rachel looked up from her work.
"So Marco? When did you two start going out?" She teased. I stuck my tongue out at her, but for once, I didn't have a good comeback ready. I turned to look at her face again. . . her skin was cold, and she hardly looked alive. I thought back to what happened earlier in the day. . . and then I got an idea. It was strange, but I had to try it.
"Hey, Ax?" He put down the cadge Cassie was helping him lift.
What is it, Marco?
"You know that plant over there by you? The fern-thing hanging over your head?" he reached his hand up to place it on the bottom of a pot that dangled from the ceiling. "Yeah, that's it. Get it down and bring it over here real quick."
"What's the sudden new interest?" Rachel asked.
"Come here, Rachel." She put her book down and strided over. Looking to her side where Ax was trying to reach for the plant, finally allowing Jake to retrieve it before he decided to use his tail.
"See what Fionna looks like right now?" I asked. Rachel's critical eye swept over her.
"Yeah. . . she looks half dead, huh? I didn't think she was that pale at school."
"That's because she wasn't." I said. "Hey Ax-man, not to be rude, but can you hurry with the plant over there?" Ax walked over with the plant, standing over us.
"Was it my imagination, or did Ax just roll his eyes?" I asked Jake.
Just get to the point, Marco. Tobias quipped.
"Ax, put the fern or whatever it is next to Fionna." Everyone stared at me. "What? Did I grow horns or something?"
I do not believe so.
"SOME people just don't know the meaning of a rhetorical question. . ."
"What's the point of this?" Rachel asked.
"Shh. . . Look." I pointed to her face. A faint blush began to rise in her cheeks, as her skin changed from almost pale gray to something like a gentle shade of peach.
"I think I just proved something, but Ax? Do you remember what those vibrations felt like earlier today? When this whole mess started?"
I believe so, Marco. Why?
"Can you feel them now?" I looked into his eyes. Not an easy thing when there are four of them to look into.
I-I believe I can. . . but, it is strange.
"Why is it strange, Ax?" asked Jake.
Well, they are fainter than last time, but what is truly astonishing is how they seem to be working. These vibrations are emanating from your spore- producing plant. . . it is as if the girl is absorbing these vibrations in order to help herself unconsciously.
"Oka-ay. . . Well, this is definitely not the average 'go get-um' kind of situation, is it?" said Rachel.
As I said before, I believe that Fionna is a truly superior human compared to what I have seen of your species. . . though at the time I did not apply that assumption in quite the same context. Ax found something absolutely fascinating about his hooves right about then.
You know Ax? he turned to look up at Tobias. I never knew that Andalites blushed. finally, some of the tension was beginning to break up.
"Well, at least it proves my theory." I sighed.
What was your theory? asked Tobias.
"Well, it's not much of a theory really, but I believe that there is some natural relationship that Fionna has with the Earth that's a little weirder than tree-hugging." Cass rolled her eyes.
There is something else I've observed as well. Jake looked up.
"What is it, Ax?" he asked.
These vibrations, or waves, are also traveling to Marco.
"Come again?" Jake asked sharply.
As I have been observing, the girl known as Fionna has been receiving a constant wave of energy from the plant beside her. As I look at her, her general energy is of a slightly different make-up than that of your own. However, it also appears to me that Marco is receiving the same sort of energy wave. He also appears to carry much the same energy in himself as Fionna. we all stared at Ax, and then everyone stared at me.
"Well, THAT wasn't part of my theory. . ." I mumbled
Author's Note: So, what did you think? Before you all yell at me, I AM trying to put in more Ax like some of your reviews indicated. As always, READ and REVIEW. I NEED these reviews. They are essential to my writing, you know! Well, any way, I'm sorry I didn't post yesterday, but I was trying to see how much of Lord of the Rings I could read and remember. Let me save you the trouble of telling me that I have no life. I know, I have no life. Before you come to the assumption that I have no friends, allow me to disprove you. I have friends, in fact I go to a school that's full of artistic students. So artistic, that we play alternative sports. But I'm not going into that now. The point is (well, I'm not sure if there really IS a point to this, actually) that NOBODY in my school has a life, because most of us do some of the same things. And now I'm rambling, so oh well! Until I update again, Ja ne! -Starmoon
