Ax had enjoyed his stay downtown, but Prince Jake and Cassie were worried about it.

"What did you do? Did you talk to anyone?" Prince Jake seemed… perturbed.

"I only talked to cashiers like you said, except one nice woman in an alleyway. She offered to show me a good time for five dollars, but when she brought me to her place, it looked boring, so I gave her the money and left." Ax was slowly morphing back into his much-more-stable Andalite form. He was temporarily blind as he spoke, because for some reason his human eyes had disappeared before his Andalite eyes appeared. When his eyes formed and opened, he saw Prince Jake and Cassie's reactions.

Cassie was trying to hold back laughter. Her right hand was over her mouth, but even Ax could tell that she wanted to laugh. Looking at Prince Jake, though, that wouldn't be such a great idea.

Prince Jake looked like he couldn't quite decide whether to laugh or be angry. His face was turning red, and he was staring at Ax, mouth agape.

((Prince Jake, you may want to close your mouth,)) Ax offered. That statement set both Prince Jake and Cassie to doing what they wanted to do. Cassie burst out into peals of laughter, and Prince Jake started yelling at Ax.

"Ax, you idiot! Couldn't you have just followed my advice?" He yelled. His face was bright red by now.

Ax calmly thought-spoke to them. ((I did what you said; I didn't speak to anyone who did not speak to me directly first, and I didn't give money to anyone on the street. We were inside when I gave her the money.))

Cassies stopped laughing, long enough to say "Ax, why exactly did you give her the money?"

((I assumed she was hungry, with the amount she was licking her lips.)) Ax said.

Now Prince Jake was laughing as well.

"Ax," he said, holding in the laughter and sighing deeply. "Let me tell you a little something about the birds and the bees."
