Well, after that, I went back home to sleep. Erek assured me that one of the Chee was covering for me at school, and had already conversed with my parents that morning so they thought I was gone.

Hopefully my mum wouldn't walk in my room though.

The good thing was, just as I was getting in, I heard her cooing Phoebe, saying something about shopping, and the front door slam.

Thank. God.

Rtaia went out for a fly, saying she wanted to view the town a little more. I made sure she knew where my house was, and how to get back to it, before I landed face first on my bed.

And had the deepest sleep I'd ever had in months. Nothing could have woken me up. Not one thing.

Which was absolute heaven for a person like me.

When I woke up it was late in the afternoon. About two thirty, I guessed. The way the sun was made me almost sure of it.

As well as the rumbling in my stomach.

So I groggily got up, stumbled downstairs and got myself some leftovers from two nights ago. I loved my mums pasta bake.

When I was done, I trudged back upstairs and had a shower to wake the rest of me up.

And then I remembered what I'd done.

"Crap" I muttered in the shower, biting my lip. I quickly finished in the shower, then went back in my room to get dressed.

I was just wringing my hair out when a pigeon hawk flew through my window, making me jump about a mile in the air.

"Rtaia!" I screeched, watching as she landed on my bed. Just as quickly she began to shift and change. I just stared at her.

"Rtaia, please try not to make me age about twenty years next time you do that"

"Apologies Jade, but my flight was a wonderful one"

"Good to hear"

"I passed by here once before. It seemed as if you were enjoying your period of rest"

I couldn't help but smile at her "Yeah Rtaia. I did. It also helped me clear my head"

Then I felt the butterflies in my stomach. Had I really just done that to the Animorphs?

The answer, of course, was yes.

"Jade, are you well?"

"I feel a little iffy, but I'll be ok" I bit my lip again, then went to borrow mums hairdryer before she got home. I needed to get the heck out of there, and soon.

I dried my hair quickly, seeing Rtaia was absolutely fascinated with it. When I was done I stuck the hairdryer back in her room, then fixed the rest of me up. I slipped on some shoes, then opened the window a little wider.

And I saw something no sane person wants to see.

A bald eagle heading straight for my window.

"Don't you dare!" I cried, knowing she'd hear me.

Oh god don't let her break the window!

I dove out of the way just as Rachel folded her wings and swept into my room, landing on the other side of it. Thankfully, shards of glass didn't come with her.

A good sign.

"Dammit! What is it with birds and my window today!" I snapped, watching as Rachel demorphed, having a slight panic attack at Rachel being here.

When she was done she was just staring at me. Just… that's all. Nothing else was said and she barely moved.

"Uh… Rachel? Is there some reason why you just scared the living crap outta me? Or was it just for fun?"

"Jade"

"Rachel?"

She took a step forward, and I edgily stepped back.

Finally, she sighed.

"Look Jade, thanks for this morning. After that, Tobias worked out what we're gonna do for tomorrow night" Then, she smiled "He said he's actually coming to the dance"

I let out a strange squeaking noise.

"Say what?"

"Jade, he's coming to the dance. And last I checked, Cassie and Jake were talking about coming too"

Okay, now I was scared. Rachel was in my room, smiling like I'd just given her a credit card with a million dollars to spend. And… oh my god… Cassie and Jake were… about a dance? Without Rachel or Marco nagging them?

This couldn't be real! I was dreaming! I… I had to be…

"Uuuh…" Was all I could say. Kinda hard to talk after hearing that news.

"But…" Rachel was suddenly herself again.

Oh crap. She was going to pound me one. It was all a lie and…

She took a step forward! I jumped backwards, my legs slamming into my bed and knocking myself head over heels. I found myself on the floor on the other side of my bed, then jumped up, slamming myself into the wall and hoping she wasn't gonna go grizzly on me.

"But? But what?"

"But, there's one thing I want from you"

"And what would that be?" I squeaked.

She smiled "I want to dress you up for the dance tomorrow night"

"Um… I don't know if I shou-"

"Jade, you're going and that's the end of it!"

I shut up. Rachel's decision seemed final.

"Oh great. My own personal hell" I couldn't help but saying.

My smart mouth would be the end of me one day.

Rachel just laughed. And then she began to morph. Before I knew it she was out the window again.

And then I remembered Rtaia was still there.

"I am confused" She said to me.

"Same here" I muttered, then let out another strange squeaking sound as I heard the front door slam shut. My Chee Jade wasn't here! I was!

Damn!

I motioned for Rtaia or shift, and seconds later two pigeons booked it out my open window.
