Chapter 1
My name is Ty.
I have blond hair and blue eyes. I'm tall, but not too tall. I'm pretty strong.
I like video games. Especially and Andalite game called "Dome Ship III". I like sports, too.
I like Coke, not Pepsi. Sour, not sweet. Crunchy, not soft.
I have two siblings. A younger brother and a younger sister, both are an itch in the side.
I live in a three-story house on the planet AK-6, the 6th planet from the sun in the Andalite Solar System, which is called AK.
I also have the power to morph. I can become any animal I want just by touching an animal and thinking about it. But I am still normal, here in the year 2051 half of the human population can morph.
The reason I am living on AK-6 and not Earth is because of the Yeerks. Yeerk, the word every human and Andalite alive has been taught to despise.
If it weren't for the Yeerks, I may still be living somewhere in your own solar system. Possibly even Earth.
And if it weren't for the Yeerks, I wouldn't have become the leader of a little group called the Animorphs.
What I am about to tell you is the beginning of a long story about us Animorphs. So long I may not be here to tell you the end.

The first place the whole group was ever together was during lunch time at the AK Elementary School for Humans #16.
During lunch time the AK Elementary School for Andalites #16 joined our school for lunch, for some reason like to 'meet new friends of different races' or some load of bull like that.
In the cafeteria there were around fifty tables, each table with five chairs. As usual, I sat with two of my friends.
My friends, Gyp (her real name is Nicole, but we call her Gyp) and Reed, both grabbed a cheeseburger as usual, and as usual Gyp sat at my left, Reed at my right.
Except this time two Andalites also came over to us and sat down. Usually only the three of us sat together. I looked around. All the other tables were full.
::Hello.:: One of the Andalites said. One was a boy and the other was a girl. It was the girl who had talked.
"Uh, hi." I said and watched as they both morphed to their human forms. Since Andalites ate by walking or running on grass, they enjoyed morphing to human and eating human foods during lunch time.
Eating human foods was such a popular thing nowadays in the Andalite world, it was considered a privilege to eat anything sweeter than a watermelon. Eating chocolate was like drinking beer, if you had too much you would go nuts, and you weren't allowed to have it unless you were old enough.
Gyp, Reed and I watched as they munched happily on burgers and cinnamon buns, squealing with delight like a toddler every now and then.
"These buns are quite delicious," The boy Andalite said with a little bit of a slur. "Can I have your burger if you aren't eating it? Burrrgerrrr. Burger. Thank you." Without warning he reached over, took my half-eaten burger in a hand and popped it into his mouth. He reached out an empty, sticky hand. "Hello friend. I am Rexered-Oditional-Snilram *burp*. Pleasure to meet you."
"I'm, uh, Ty..." I reluctantly shook his hand, and afterward wiped my hand on the side of my pants.
"I'm Gyp." "And I'm Reed." Both my friends said without bothering to shake Rexered's hand. They couldn't anyway, his hands were full again.
"Hello Uh-Ty, I'm Seilliph-Snillor-Llerrub." The female said, without shaking my hand. She wasn't eating as much as Rexered, but she had had her fair share of Jelly Beans. It didn't matter; I had lost my appetite anyway. Noticing that I was eyeballing the Jelly Beans, she said: "My favorite are the green. Would you like one? Nuh?"
"Oh, no thanks," I said, not bothering to correct her about my name.
"Are you from..." Rexered said, swallowing. "...Earth?" He finished.
"No." Reed said. Gyp and I shook our heads.
"Have you been to Earth?" Seilliiph asked.
"Nope." What? Why were they suddenly interested in Earth?
"Would you like to go?"
