Author's Note: Okee, previous chapters have be re-uploaded…All except for the Prologue. I can't find that anywhere. Meh. Screwed up the time continuum big time last chapter. Okay, to make things less confusing…Sammie's chapter started on the second day, then for some reason, skipped to the third day. This chapter goes back to the second day.

I'm bringing in a new character now…Let me know if anyone likes him, or if I should just scrap it, okay?

Oh, and thanks to my reviewers!

SD: lol…Yup, from Mulan. You get 'em all right! Sam's special that way...no thinking for her! ^_~

Liaranne: I think Sammie's stupid plan is fun, too. ^_~ And you'll find out about the zebras soon enough…Heh. It really is rather stupid. They'll hook up soon, don't worry.

LJstagflower4e: Yeah, I know it's a little confusing…Sorry about that. Thanks for the review, though!

DH: lol! Thankies. And yup…one of the birds is Tobias…*ducks* Cliché, I know, but oh, well.

Disclaimer: "Yes….But /why/ is the rum gone?"

Chapter Eleven – Daniel

Aka: Belated Introduction of the Pyromaniac

My name is Daniel. Man, I have always wanted to say that. Ever since I started reading the Animorph series anyway. In case you couldn't tell, I'm not from around here. Okay, well, I guess I am. But not really.

It all started this morning, in first period. It began normal enough, as normal as spending an hour deriving calculus formulas can be anyway. Anyway, somewhere between multiplying the exponent and figuring out the critical points in an equation, I fell asleep. Big surprise. Hey, don't judge me.

Then I woke up. I slept through five minutes of the lecture. Enough to screw me over on the homework. Great. I looked drowsily at Marco sitting next to me. He'd have the notes right? Course, it's Marco and he never…wait. What? Marco? I don't sit by a Marco. Wait…yeah I do. No…I don't… I took a look around, confused. This wasn't my classroom. But it was. But it wasn't, just the same.

As I searched my mind for answered, I realized that I had two different sets of memories. One from…before, and now this new set from…wherever. Then again, that wasn't so unusual. I suffer from multiple personalities anyway, so come on. Two is cake.

Even so, though, this was a little weird. Somehow, I had ended up in this strange classroom that I knew and didn't know and definitely wasn't my old class. So, rather than dwelling on the whole two memories thing, I was trying to figure out what the heck was going on. Really, now. Because, you know, it's just so typical to fall asleep in one class and wake up in another.

The only possible explanation? I was in an alternate universe. Blame too much sci-fi. I wasn't old-Daniel anymore. Now I was new-Daniel. Amazing difference, eh? So I have no imagination. So my alter ego is basically the same as myself. Leave me alone.

There is one thing that was different from me and my alter ego, though. And that was the fact that this Daniel, the Daniel I was now, could control fire. Yes, control fire. How did I know that? Well, duh. I do have memories from this life, remember? And even if it was hard to sort out this life's memories with the other Daniel's memories, I could remember that I controlled fire.

Of course, now that I knew that, I had this strange urge to light my teacher's chair on fire. Or maybe her annoying squeaky shoe. Or anything really. That would be great. Note to destiny: don't give pyrokinetic powers to a pyrophobic pyromaniac. It's just not good common sense. Moving on.

There was a sigh coming from the Marco guy sitting next to me. I was friends with him, to a certain extent, anyway. We talked in math class, at least. Anyway, I looked over to see what he was sighing about and that's when it clicked. The guy sitting next to me wasn't just Marco. He was Marco. Marco the Animorph Marco.

So of course, the first thing to come out of my mouth was "Did you cut your hair?" Yes, that was my first reaction. Shut up, it could have been worse.

He stared at me. "Yeah, dude. A long time ago."

"Oh, yeah, huh…" And I did remember…sort of. In two different ways.

He stared at me for a moment longer.

"Sorry." I said. "Uh…fell asleep. Blanked out."

"Yeah, math'll do that to you." Marco replied, nodding.

We both went back to ignoring our teacher in our own respective ways. Come on, I might be in an alternate universe, but math class still isn't exciting. I felt myself drifting off again…except that the bell rang and my head snapped up. Hurt my neck a little. I said good-bye to Marco and headed to my second period class, trying to sort things out on the way. Obviously, I was in the Animorphs world. So…what was I going to do about it? I mean, I couldn't just pretend I didn't know about them, but I'm not stupid. I'm not just going to walk up to one of them and inform them that I know about them. That would get me killed. Still, though…Hmmm. Well, maybe I'd talk to Cassie. She made friends with a Yeerk, so I figure she'll be tolerant of me….Yeah, that'll work. Why wouldn't it?
