We all jumped and spun around. Before I even finished jumping, I felt coarse brown hairs sprouting from my flesh. But once I saw, the fur of the grizzly bear was sucked up like spaghetti. It was just Erek the Chee.
"Whoa. Down, Bessie," Marco joked.
"Shut-up, Wilbur," I retorted.
"Did you just call me a pig?"
"Nah, Marco. I called you a great big hunk o' muscles."
"Thought so."
"And did you call me a cow, you stupid, unfortunate weasel?"
"'Nah Rachel! I called you a beautiful babe that belongs in Victoria's Secret!'" he said, imitating me.
"How long have you had your teeth?"
"Dunno. My whole life, I guess."
"Well, it ain't gonna stay that way, bub!"
Erek turned to Jake.
"Do they *ever* cease?"
"As far as I know. nope. Sure don't."
"Why you." Marco continued, but he actually stopped the argument.
"Wait. Erek is here. As far as I know. he's the grim reaper. What is it?"
~Cassie! Hurry! Demorph! They are less than 20 feet away from the clearing!~ Tobias shouted. We could hear a loud (and really nasty sounding) SCHOOP! And Cassie walked out.
~Erek! Quick. Hologram! *NOW*!!~ Screamed Tobias. To any passing person, it would look like an abandoned barn. Erek made it so that the Hork-Bijar troops wouldn't want to inspect it. But on the inside, it looked like a beautiful shimmering sphere.
"Remember the good old days," Marco whispered, even though any outsiders couldn't hear. "When the only times we saw this kind of stuff in nightmares? And when that happened, we could just wake up and climb in bed with mo. m. with Dad." Marco choked when he tried to say "Mom." See, everybody except we, the Animorphs and the Yeerks thought that Marco's mother had drowned, and they never found her body. But we knew better than that. Marco's mother was a Human-Controller. We would say "a-person-who-has- been-infested-with-a-nasty-descusting-grotesque-slimy-gross-evil-sluggish- thing-called-a-Yeerk," but "Human-Controller" is a tad bit easier to say. In fact, Eva's Yeerk was Visser One. You know. "The boss."
Moving on... Inside of the sphere, we heard the scariest, most awful, tormenting voice you should ever hear. Not to mention it was absolutely dripping with evil.
Visser Three. ~Where is it? Where is the morphing energy coming from? ~ The Visser asked coldly. "Tssssssssss hessssssssssssssth tseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee," said one of the Taxxons with its disgusting native tongue. The Visser blew into rage.
~What? What do you mean you can't locate it!? You fool! You idiot! You.~ Visser Three said a word that we didn't think Andalites or Yeerks knew.
"We should wipe out his brain with soap! Such a dirty word." Marco whispered.
When we heard a swish then a really gross sounding splat! and a wild flurry of hisses and movement, we made a correct guess that the Visser was in the mood for killing a Taxxon.
~Move out, ~ Visser Three growled. A little later, I looked at my watch and panicked.
"Oh my gosh! I'm supposed to be home in, like, 20 minutes! I have to go! Bye!" As I was leaving (awfully hurriedly), I heard several calls to me. "If I can't call you tomorrow, happy birthday, Rachel!" (Cassie) "Tomorrow is her birthday?" (Jake) "Yeah... Jake! I'm surprised at you! She's your cousin!" (Cassie) "I'll betcha anything she doesn't know my birthday." (Marco) "December 23!" (Me) I didn't get to hear his reply, because I was way too far away. But I did hear Tobias. ~Happy Birthday Rachel,~ he said privately to me. I smiled to myself and said aloud "You're invited."
-Later At My House at around 8 a.m.-
"Wake up Rachel. wake up! Happy birthday!" I opened my eyes to the two little girls named Sara and Jordan... also known as my sisters. I also opened my sense of smell to my three favorite food groups: bacon, eggs, and toast. Mom was making me breakfast!
"Thank you girls, but I would appreciate it greatly if you got off my legs." I said, and they both did.
When we were downstairs a couple hours later, everybody gave me their gifts. There was one from my mom. two from my dad. a little itty-bitty box from Sara. and an envelope from Marco! That was freakish. I decided to open it last. Okay. Now look through the list and see if you can figure out who is missing (Not Cassie; she gave me a top from LTD2 last week. She might as well have lost our bet!) Yeah. Jordan was missing.
"I'm sorry Rachel," Jordan said apologetically. "I didn't have time to get you a present. But I'll clean your room for you!"
"That's okay, Jordan. If you really want to, you can clean my room." But Jordan wasn't the only one who forgot something. I also forgot what was in my room hidden under my bed. It was a blue cube with a strange, alien glow.
