Chapter 8

Ian

We stood there waiting for someone to come out and tell us this morph thing was a practicle joke. But me and Jake knew better. "We need morphs. And some group structure." L. pointed out.

"Who should be the leader?" I asked knowing the answear, "Lets take a vote. Ok I vote, I vote. Ah screw it, I have no vote."

"Everyone who was there last night saw what Ian did, so I vote Ian." L. voted.

"Ian." Jake dittoed.

"To my friend," Seth said, with a smile, "Ian."

"Me and Zepher," Chris said, "vote Ian."

Zepherith nodded.

"Me," Luna said, "I guess, Ian?"

Erin was about to say something. I looked at her pleadingly. "Ian." She said, completly ignoring me.

"Ian." Courtney said.

"Ian." Yesima said seeling my fate.

"Ok, but who is the council?" I asked, "I mean a group to be my council."

"I think everyone who was with Elfangor should be in the council," Yesima told us, "Except Seth, he just watched."

"Ok the prime council and leader will be called the, Animorphs." I told all of them, "Everyone else will be an extra Animorph."

"Cool." Seth commented.

"We need morphs," I told them already asuming myself as the leader, "Everyone meet me back here at 3:00 pm, got it."

Everyone said yeah and left. I was alone. I took off towards home. I thought about today. Stranger than yesterday, already. I saw Seth a little ahead of me. I peddled up to him. "Strange." One of us said. We rode our different pathes soon. I walked over to my neighbors house. Zepherith's house. I rung the doorbell. "Hi Ian." Zepherith's mom said.

"Some of my friends were wanting to go to the Zoo and I was wondering if we could get back stage passes?" I asked hopefully.

The Zoo was a place that was just built down the rode from our neighborhood. Zepherith's family owns the place so I hoped they could help. "Ok, how many do you need?" She asked.

"Ten." I answeared.

"Ok." A few minutes later she came back with ten passes, to go back stage and actualy touch the animals. "Thank you!" I said happily as I walked off the porch. Cool I got us in. I looked at the experation date on the passes. Cool they expired 10 years from now.

I looked at my watch. 11:32 am. I had some time too burn. Hmmm lunch time. I could eat lunch.

It was time to go. I put the passes in my pocket. I biked off to the bridge. I saw Jake on the way. I rode up to him. "Whats your plan to get these morphs anyways Ian?" Jake asked.

"You know the Zoo?" I asked.

"Yeah." Jake answeared.

"I got ten passes." I told him, "We just bike down the rode there."

"Oh" Jake relized.

We got there. We were the last ones. "Everyone know about the Zoo?" I asked them.

"Yeah I went there last week." Erin told us pointlessly.

"I got ten back stage passes that don't expire for ten years." Everyone gasped.

I handed them out. "Lets go." Courtney demanded.

"Fine." I said as I rode off. The others followed.

We stayed silent the whole time. Then we saw it. The Zoo! "Cool." Jake admired, his uncle never took him anywhere so this amazed him.

We walked in and with a flash of our passes.This was easy. There were probaly hundreds of controlers letting us get our morphs. Haha, this battle with the Yeerks would be over soon. Was I ever wrong.
