(When the last chapter ended, Daine turned Tobias into a crow and dressed Rachel in ill-fitting, non-designer, pink pleather because they manipulated her to get choco-mice)

Daine (smiling like William Rodger Tenament in crazy mode)

Tobias & Rachel (crying, begging etc.)

Tsubasa: She did warn you. But you didn't know? Authors have very special powers. Some use them for good, others for evil, and some for comedy, depending on their mood. Daine tries not to use her powers. She likes bugging the characters the old-fashioned way. But when the characters make her mad, she'll use them for revenge.

Daine: All right, I'll change you back (she waves her hand, and R&T are back to their abnormal selves) Now then, to business. Here are your next three choices: Toby, Aldrea, or Melissa. Voting will end on Monday. Any votes along the lines of 'I want ______ or _______!' won't be counted. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My name is Esplin 9466. Only fools call me by that name. Fools should die. So I am called by my rank: Visser Three. I could be Visser One- however; the fool in that current position is too wily. In my invasion of earth, I must keep up a pathetic human guise. With this guise comes something called an 'e-mail address'. The humans believe that such a thing is advanced and state-of-the-art. Fools. But when I got this e-mail, I was pleasantly surprised. The mail was answered by the Andalite bandits who were, in fact, human! It was wonderful! I decided, just this once to answer the mail, and strike fear into their hearts.

Welcome to the next edition of getting to know your friends.... this one IS different.... What you're supposed to do is copy (not forward) this entire e-mail and paste it onto a new e-mail that you'll send. Change all of the answers so they apply to you.

Then, send this to a whole bunch of people you know**INCLUDING* the person who sent it to you. The theory is that you'll learn a lot of little known facts about your friends. It's fun and easy. You might be surprised with some of the things you learn about people you think you know....

I gleefully hit the send button and then went to the bridge to prepare my crew for the destruction of the resistance! But just as I was, something hit me on the head! I stayed in my quarters, trying to remember what I had been so triumphant about. **At Jake's house** I opened my e-mail, fully expecting a virus from Rachel for sending spam. Instead, I had an e-mail from someone from the Sharing. I nearly died; right there, but instead, I read the mail. At the first question I was freaking. VISSER THREE had written this. We were dead. I immediately started planning ways to escape- and then I stopped. Written at the bottom of the e-mail was: 'Did the scare you Big Jake? I hope so. But never fear . . . for now. I have erased his memories. For now ;P.' I waited a few seconds for the adrenaline to wear off, then I quickly called the others. We were safe. For now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Daine: Man, this wasn't my best work . . .

Tsubasa: You're right.

Daine: SHUT UP! JUST BECAUSE IT SUCKS DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO RUB MY NOSE IN IT!!

Tsubasa: Whatever. You need more help though.

Daine: Such as?

Tsubasa: A friend of mine. She's an Andalite named Auroral. She'll be a muse to anyone who wants her.

Daine: Auroral, huh?

Tsubasa: Yep.

Daine: Fine, I'll take her in. (there's a big poof with a cloud of smoke)

Auroral: Prince Daine! Thank you so much for making me your second muse! I won't disappoint!

Daine: Auroral, I'm a girl. Doesn't that make me a princess?

Auroral: Nope! Princes are leaders!

Daine: Cool! I'm a prince! ^.^

Auroral: Thank you, Warrior Tsubasa, for getting me this job.

Tsubasa: Cool, I'm a warrior . . .

Auroral: Please, readers, don't forget to vote for the next character!
