Chapter 10- Little Things

Shelly-

Another group of Animorphs?!?! The idea was crazy! But, there they were, clear as day.

After we demorphed, April came riding in on Marco, the Hork-Bajir.

"I knew it!" She was screaming. "I knew you were the Animorphs!"

"Shh!" John called. "We can't let the controllers hear us."

"What do we do now?" Jeff asked.

Personally, I didn't like Jeff. I thought he was the most annoying person on the face of this planet.

But, I had more useful things to do. Like thinking about Jerry.

Jerry and I were, well, pretty close. You could almost say we were dating.

Almost.

April was speechless. She was practically obsessed with the Animorphs book series. Now, she was meeting them.

"Guess monkeys do fly out of Sarah's butt..."

Honestly, she looked like she had just won the lottery. Her eyes were brightly lit and a small smile crept up her face.

"I can't get caught by the Yeerks now, huh?" she said, still smiling.

"And we can't let you go back to your parents, either. For all we know, they could be Controllers," Jake said, before John could.

"Cool. I was getting bored of Allison and Nikkei anyway."

"I checked her parents out. They weren't Yeerks," I said skeptically.

"They will be, though," Elfangor said, having morphed to human along with Ax. "Your parents might know something that you knew, maybe about the Animorph book series, maybe about Camp Streefland. Your sisters, too."

"Yeah, I know. Wait, I have the whole Animorphs book series, if they get their hands on that..."

"God, this is just getting crazier and crazier..." Jeff and Marco said at the same time. "We need to go steal books? To protect our secret?" They stared at each other.

"A Marco clone?"

"A Jeff clone?"

Rachel and I exchanged glances, seeing how similar the two sets of Animorphs were.

"Anyways," Marco began, "we've got to go on a suicide mission to rescue books, of all things, and possibly reveal our secret?"

"Hmmm, basically," Stephanie said.

"Well..." John started, looking at Jake.

"Let's put it to a vote. For or against saving books..." Jake smacked himself on the head. "This is as stupid as the oatmeal incident..." He said.

"Oatmeal?" Jeff asked.

"Long story short: Instant maple and ginger oatmeal makes the Yeerks go insane, and removes their need for Kandrona waves," Marco replied.

"Ah."

"For," Rachel said.

"Against," Marco said.

(I do what Prince Jake says.)

(I do what Prince John says.)

"STOP CALLING ME 'PRINCE'!!!!!!!!" John and Jake said.

"For." Cassie.

"For." Stephanie.

"Against." Jeff.

"For." Jake.

"For." John.

"For," I said.

"Out of 9 votes... 6 for, 2 against... not counting April, Ax, and Al," Jeff tallied.

("Al?") The other Animorphs said in unison.

We replied, ("Elfangor.")

"Oh."

Stephanie asked, "What I'm wondering is why they haven't come after us. I mean, they know where we live."

John turned to Jake. "You see, after the whole begging to go back, especially for me and Stephanie who hated it the first time around, they got suspicious. They caught me morphing. But strangely they didn't come after us. We've always wondered why..."

oooooh.... okay, ONE REVIEW FOR TWO CHAPPIES? Not that I'm mad I got reviews....

Cassie: definately did not forget plotline. In fact, I'm done with this story. Just need to post it all. Was finished with this story early summer of '03.
