CHAPTER 4
I was busy for the next four days. You see, we cannot tell by just looking if someone has a yeerk in his or her head. We have to watch them because yeerks have a weakness. Every three days they must come out of their host's body and absorb kandrona rays in a yeerk pool.
So we were watching Tabitha to see if she was a Controller. Ax and I did most of the work, seeing as we didn't have any family to worry about, but the rest did what they could.
"Aww, come on Cassie! I want to go spider morph!" Marco whined.
"You just want to do that because that's where the bathroom person is going to be," Cassie said. We have quite an array of bug morphs, one of which is a daddy long legs.
"So is there anything wrong with that?" he asked innocently.
"Yes," Everyone said in unison.
"Is there something inappropriate in the bathroom?" Ax asked.
"No, nothing, just a possible shower. It's not like I would see anything with the spider morph anyway."
"Yes Ax," Cassie answered. "Looking at the other gender when they are without clothes is not appropriate."
He answered still not understanding, "Oh."
Cassie was in the bathroom in spider morph, Marco a fly in the living room, and Ax and I were outside. We were watching for if she leaves. Ax was morphed into a northern harrier and I was in my own bird body.
After four days, it was uneventful. No trips to the yeerk pool. There had just been normal everyday things. However, she was a very interesting girl.
She had taken a shower, and had also seen Cassie in spider form. Unlike most girls, she scared Cassie into a spot where she wouldn't get wet. Then she let her be.
Cassie approved.
"I like her, she doesn't kill unless she must" We were debriefing to Jake, who couldn't be there. Jake is our leader. He didn't ask to be the leader, but that's why, because he didn't ask. He just is.
"Yeah, she is very cool. She didn't try to kill me either. One of her friends did, but not her." That would be Marco.
"Well you said you would go, but I would still like all of us to be there, in one form or another." Jake said.
Marco whined again as was his habit, "Man I think I spend more time as a bug then I do as myself."
"Well, if I were you I would like it that way," remarked Rachel.
"Ha ha," was the sarcastic reply.
So it was planned. Jake, Cassie and Marco were going to attend as bugs, most likely as flies, while Rachel, Ax, and I went as ourselves, to a very normal dinner date.
Yeah right.
