TORI
Weekend. Yay and what can we do on a weekend? Well, the mall closes at five and there are some sales happening, so I dragged Adam and Leah along. Oh man, am I so much like my mother. Fun, so much fun. Especially when I'm there, looking at prices and sales, while my brother and sister are standing around, trying to look interested, but are failing
"Hey Leah, this could look good on you"
"Hey Tori, I don't care"
"Come on, be interested"
"Failed that already. F minus"
I rolled my eyes and walked away, before rummaging through more clothing. Something caught my eye. And I caught its eye
"What the…?"
HISS
"Aaaahh"
I fell backwards, throwing my bags in the air. A large snake came out from the clothing
"Tori!"
Adam and Leah came into view, as I backed away. But there was something else. No-one else was running away or screaming. They were continuing on like nothing was happening. The snake came close. I noticed it had large spikes on its head
"What is that?"
"A giant snake, duh"
"Tori get away from it"
"Adam, you're an idiot. It'll bite her"
"Hang on, back-ups coming"
"Yeah, well, hurry up. This snake looks hungry"
It was opening its mouth, but looked away after Leah or Adam threw a clothes hanger at its head. I crawled away, barely avoiding its fangs
"Morph something small"
Scales started to cover my body. My head grew smaller and so did my body, which also grew longer. My arms and legs slid into my body, as fangs grew in my mouth. A hood grew, as the cobra's colours appeared. I slithered into a changing room, as something slammed against the door
(On our way)
I heard crashes and bangs, as I demorphed. Once I had demorphed, I began to concentrate onto the wedge-tailed eagle morph. Feathers grew, as I became smaller. And that's when the door burst open and the giant snake glared at me
"I'm doomed"

JOHN
"Oh man, I give up"
Sam smirked, as I threw down the gun to the game machine
"It's just a game, dude"
"I know, but you always beat me. I'll get so close, then bam, I'm down"
Sam clapped me on the shoulder
"One day, mate, one day, you'll beat me"
"Well, I can't wait for that day to come"
We left the game arcade, before heading out towards the eatery
"I wonder where the guys are"
I looked around and saw that Adam and his sisters weren't around
"Where are they?"
"They said they'll be here, after Tori's finished shopping"
"They should be here by now"
"Well, you know Tori"
"Just like Rachel"
We sat down, waiting for them to show up. That's when we heard a loud roar. And no-one moved. They carried on like they didn't hear anything. I jumped up
"What was that?"
Another roar, followed by a loud hiss. Sam and I took off, heading in the direction the sounds were coming from. And we found the source. A tiger, a Hork-Bajir and an eagle were attacking a giant snake with spikes on its head
"That can't be good"
"It's not"
"Demolition?"
"Sounds good"
I began to grow larger, as my skin turned thick, hard and grey. I fell onto my hands, which were forming into hooves. My vision dimmed greatly, but my hearing and sense of smell made up for that. I continued to grow larger, as a huge horn grew from my nose. I could smell another rhino, tiger, snake, eagle and Hork-Bajir. I twitched my ears, so I focus on the snake. Once I was locked on, I charged
(Demolition derby, here it comes) laughed Adam
I felt my horn pierce flesh and bone. The snake hissed and struck me with its fangs. I staggered back and planned my next attack. The blur that was the snake disappeared
(Where did it go?)
"Rowr"
(There)
I charged again, as Sam charged. We both struck at the same time, leaving two deep wounds. I withdrew and ran back, as an orange blur lunged forward. Another blur dove out of the air and struck the snake in its eyes, blinding it
(Nice shot Tori)
A green blur slashed at the snake, which swayed and collapsed. I demorphed to stop the poison running through my body
"Okay, how did that snake come about?" I asked once I formed my mouth
"Tori found it hiding in a stack of clothes," answered Adam
"And what is it with everyone?" asked Leah, "a giant snake appears and they don't even flinch"
"And they didn't scream when we morphed"
"You morphed in front of people?" asked Sam
"Yeah," smiled Adam, "they didn't seem to care"
"Okay, something strange is going on here"
"Do we bother telling our parents?"
"When it gets too strange, then we let them know"
The snake disappeared. And that's when people started looking at us strangely
"What is going on?" yelled Adam
Everyone continued to look at us strangely, as if we were aliens
"Uh guys," I said, "I think its time to go"
"Sounds good," said Adam, "everyone's freaking me out"
Ignoring the glares of everyone, we left the mall and flew back home

Yes, it's all strange, but it will all be explained soon. Soon maybe. He he, so interesting, to see the Animorphs' children caught in something out of the ordinary. Makes it fun, doesn't it?
