What is it? Tamitha wondered, but then she too saw the trouble in front of us. Oh, crap.

Well isn't this just perfect, Marco added, First, Jake has other work to do and now someone decided to hold a festival right on, no right next to our digging spot. See, there's our hole, just to the left of...Chapman?

Yep, this is a Sharing gathering of sorts, I told the others. They must be planning on stealing the Bob-stic sometime today.

So, let's get in there and steal it before they do, Rachel said.

Well there's a typical Rachel response, Marco interjected. Now, what would be the smart thing to do?

Is there any way that we could get in there before the controllers without them noticing us? Tamitha questioned meekly, she must still be unsure of how much of her input could be useful, I thought.

We could create a diversion, like we did when we were rescuing Tamitha, Cassie suggested.

All right, Marco said, and I could feel a sarcastic comment coming on, who wants to go on the kamikaze mission so that the rest of us-

- You weenie! Rachel interjected. You obviously don't have the guts to do that.

No, I don't, Marco responded. "Now, back to what I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted – so that the rest of us can steal a little piece of something for our own safety?

I will volunteer, Ax said.

No, I'll do it, Tamitha said with force, You have to tell the others what the thingy looks like, and besides I know exactly what will set these guards off. I swear she grinned just then.

And how are you going to do this? Cassie wondered.

You know that sign they always have that says, 'no dogs' so I though I would morph into a dog, and once one guard starts to try to catch me, but can't, all of the others will join in the chase with him, she replied, then comes even more fun, if the controllers are inside the building by then, I'll lead all of the guards right to the middle of that group so that the controllers have no way of getting to the bob-stic.

Have you ever heard of a plan that could go wrong in so many ways? Marco added.

What course of action will you take if you are shot? Ax asked.

I will probably tell all of you to get out of there and I will find my own way out.

Nope, sorry, wrong answer, you will have back-up to save your tail in order to avoid that scenario, Me. I told her.

So, anybody see any dogs nearby? Marco asked.

Ax, is it possible to acquire the DNA of an animal if it is someone in morph? Tamitha asked.

It has never been tried, but I do not see why it would not work, since it is still the DNA of the animal, even if it is only a copy... and he continued to mumble to himself for a while before finally, Yes, I believe that what you have suggested is possible.

But you're not positive, are you? Cassie pointed out worriedly.

In science, nothing is ever a sure bet.

He does have a sense of humor! Marco said with exuberance. I have a dog morph so you two are welcome to it, if you like.

I'm going as Dude, so its just Tamitha who needs to acquire you, the dog, whatever, I told him.

Do you still have that morph, Rachel asked.

I should.

We found a secluded area behind the museum so that Tamitha and I could test our morphs while the other went to find some clothes, or at least shoes.

Amazingly Tamitha's idea worked and she was able to morph whatever dog Marco had previously acquired, an Irish Setter, she told me. And even more amazing than that was the fact that I was still able to morph, Dude, my wonderful and loyal cat.

The others returned not too long after Tamitha and I had gotten used to the animal instincts and she was no longer trying to eat me.

"You'd be surprised at the stuff you can find at a dollar store!" Rachel commented indicating to their sandals and a strange array of shirts and shorts.

So lets get going, I think their party is about to end, I said.

"Right, Ax, will you keep track of time for us?" Jake, who had met up with them at the dollar store, asked.

"Certainly, cer-cer-tain-ly-ly, Prince Jake." Man, I though we had stopped him from playing with syllables a while ago.

A/N:  still working on this story, and still wondering if any one has any objections to a cross-over

Please review with your view on this proposal of sorts.
