Chapter 17
We told Tobias all the details of the plan. He was kinda pleased, but cautious. He was worried one of us would get pulled up the tube. He also brought up some interesting points, like what if there was a wire guard to stop the fishes. We hoped not, but we weren't planning on being sucked in.
Then Cassie, Marco and Whitney all came to the house to see what was going on. They were all surprised to see Tobias there. He told them all his story of loss and hardship and they were all just happy to see him back.
Then we all got together to have the greatest bash ever. Bonfires, food, marshmallows an everything, sharing war stories that we all already knew and laughing about all the stupid things we did. It was a celebration to our survival.
Well, after a little while, everyone left and we went to bed. The 'big plan' we going to be tomorrow. We were all a little psyched, so we barely slept. We were also scared, of course. We could be marching to our deaths, but we had already survived two fights, what's one more. Besides, think about it this way, I am writing to you right now. Not many dead people can do that.
That night I had a dream. This time it was about the sea. I could see the ocean's surface coming up to hit me. Than I went submerged and saw something in the water. It looked like a giant domed park on the oceans bottom. It was like an underground colony or something. It was cool.
Then words came and spoke to me, but not spoken. {If anyone can hear me, I am in need of help. I am stranded here on earth and have nobody to communicate with. Please.} this went on for the majority of the dream. Then right before the end, I was pulled out of the water and pulled back to shore.
It was definitely a distress call. It wasn't like other realistic dreams and it wasn't like a regular dream. It was really real, like I was there. Even more real than the other ones.
I woke up the next day, energized as ever. We all had to be there at six in the morning to actually catch the fish.
Unfortunately, I was woke up by the rest of the Animorphs. They were standing above me as I woke up. I had one of those thing where you just woke up and aren't thinking properly, so little things are weirdly out of proportion, so this little awakening was a little surprising.
"Good God!" I shouted as I sat up, heart pounding in my chest. Rachel started to laugh. I was embarrassed. "Okay guys, we need to go." I said. "Who is going wolf?" We had to have someone be a wolf. That was the only way to ensure we could get the bomb there.
"I will." Whitney volunteered.
"Alright." Jake said. "Let's..." He started.
"Let's do it!" Rachel said.
We all got morphed and started to gather up the materials. The things we had to take included, fishing line, hooks, etc. We also had to give all of this to Whitney. She would carry it all in her mouth. Can't catch a fish without hooks and tackle.
We got all this in a bag and left. I was the last to morph, because I was the one who put the stuff in the bags and gave them to Whitney. I looked at Tobias. "Ready to go." I began to morph, just then I noticed Tobias had a little wristwatch on. It was really funny to look at.
{What? I needed it to keep track of time. We don't need any more problems like last time.} he would have smiled if he was human. I was glad he was getting along just fine now. He was even happy.
I finished my morph and flew out the door and headed back with the rest of them, who were all circling overhead.
{Okay, we have to keep tabs on Whitney. I want at least one person watching her at all time. Just watch the lone wolf and we will be fine.} Jake instructed.
{Oh, and don't forget, there may be birdwatchers out there somewhere. So keep a relatively safe distance.} Tobias added.
We all went on our way.
