Jake told me everything.

About the yeerk invasion, how Elfangor gave them the morphing cube. About the Andalites, Taxxons and Hork-Bajir. He told of the Chee and Pemalites, and the Ellimist and Crayak. Everything.

I was at a loss for words. Honestly I had nothing to say.

I was very shocked, to say the least, but my speechlessness was induced by the fact that everything I was taught about life, and reality in general, were put into question.

It felt like I was taking a regents test without ever going to class. Okay, bad analogy, but it felt very unnerving.

I stood in front of them with a pretty stupid look on my face. Or at least that was what Marco told me afterwards. I decided to speak my mind.

"So now what?" Oh yeah Michael, that was inspired.

Jake turned to look at the others (Ax and Tobias had demorphed by now) then he turned back to me.

"Well, we have several options here" he explained, "first off, we could give you the morphing power so you could help us against the yeerks. Secondly, we could relocate you and your family to the Hork-Bajir colony."

"And lastly" Rachel butted in, "we could just kill you."

I thought she was kidding, but you never know when Rachel is involved.

"I think I'll go with number one, thanks." I said hastily, sending an accusing look. She seemed taken aback for some reason.

Then I realized I was getting a tad bit out of character and decided to give her an apologetic look. She smiled and a wave of relief went through me.

Jake led me and the others (with the aid of Tobias) towards Cassie's barn where the morphing cube was located.

Even though I was put through extreme emotional stress in a very short period, I felt excited about getting the morphing power.

Ever since I was little I wanted to have super powers and help people (I blame my parents) so now, in a way, my wish was going to be fulfilled.

They led me into the barn where Cassie hid the cube. She took it out of a refrigerator in the far corner and came back to us, holding it in front of her.

"Is there a manual to this thing?" I asked. Rachel rolled her eyes.

"Oh great, another Marco." This got a Laugh out of everyone.

As I touched the cube, a strange sensation ran though my body like an electric current. This was seriously cool.

"I here by dub thee Animorph." said Marco.

"So Jake you said Erek covered for me while I was away right?"

"Yeah why?"

"Because I'm late and I'm gonna get an earful when I get home, if I don't leave right now." I responded.

"Fine, go home and get some rest, but get here tomorrow morning at 8:30 so you can get some morphs."

When I walked in Dad was sitting at the table reading a magazine.

"Why back so soon from the supermarket?" my Dad asked.

Great, Erek probably left like five minutes ago.

"Oh. Umm, they didn't have what you asked for." I replied hastily.

"They didn't have milk?"

"Umm….." Damn you Erek! "Yeah, something about a milk impurity or something." Phew! That was a close one!

He seemed to believe me so I went upstairs and took a shower. Afterwards I felt refreshed enough to try out my new power. When I went down stairs I saw that my Dad went to bed.

Hmm…I guess he had a busy day at work.

I decided to go to The Gardens. It was sort of like a theme park combined with a zoo. The perfect place to get morphs. I walked the way there, assuming I'd get a morph to go home with.

After arriving, I hopped the fence (not as easy as it sounds) and landed with a thud.

I was in.
