A/N: Stupid QuickEdit... won't let me do thought-speech anymore... I've resorted to using {} until I can use the others.

Chapter 5 –Getting Goaty

I acquired Goaty and sat down with the rest of the group. There were about 24 or 25 kids in the group. Some I knew, some I didn't.

Okay, most I didn't.

"Okay! I'm Ben, and we're doing a few activities before the Black Hole. The first one we're going to do is called Class Juggling. We're going to get into two groups." The adults separated us into two smaller groups. "Okay, now go around the circle and say your name."

"Tressa."

"Jean."

"Alexander."

"Simon."

"Natalie."

"Stephanie."

"Karlee."

"Grace."

"Rachel."

"Ryann."

"Nick."

"Chris."

"Now, what you do is take this ball," Ben handed us a ball, "and pass it to anyone in the circle and say their name."

That went on for a while, doing games, games, and, oh yeah, games. Everyone's favorite was the name train!

It went like this: Ben walked up to Ryann and said, "What, what, what's your name?"

She replied, giggling, "Ryann."

"Hi Ryann! Ryann, Ryann, Ryann, Ryann! Jump on the name train! Toot, toot!" She came up behind him, and they turned around. She went up to someone and did the same thing. It continued for a while, and then the long-awaited time came. The black hole. It was basically a long tube slide. You ride down it on sleds.

But first, we had bathroom breaks and I saw my chance. I went into the bathroom. Since no one else was there, I focused, and morphed Goaty.

I had been a grizzly. I had been an elephant. But this was new. The goat was almost docile. But, it had horns, and would be less conspicuous than any other morph, so, I ran out to find Karlee.

I ran towards the group that had assembled and butted Karlee in the butt into a puddle that had formed. Her eyes darted to the goat pen, to me, and back again.

She had seen the real Goaty. And me.

"Fool of an Andalite!" She muttered to me. "Do you know what my host is saying to you right now?"

{I wouldn't know. How many of your classmates are your people? Will you have to infest them to get to me? I have many stronger morphs of these human animals, but this would be covered up easily. How many, Yeerk?}

"20. Including myself. A few remain."

"Karlee, are you okay?" Ben ran over to check on her.

"Andalite," She muttered.

"Come here, Goaty!" He asked. "C'mon!" I walked away.

He turned to Mrs. Freebush and said, "Take them down to the black hole, I'll be there in a second."

I darted into the bathroom, did a quick demorph, and remorphed to, you guessed it, grizzly.

"HROOOOARR!" I slammed into the door as Ben and Karlee ran in and pulled out Dracon beams.

"What do we do, sub-Visser?" Ben asked Karlee.

"We do nothing. The Visser will take care of the Andalite," she replied. She flipped a switch on her Dracon, probably a communication device or walkie-talkie, and said, "Visser, we have found an Andalite!"
