ANNIE
I am Annie Mull Luvre. I control the gateway between the Milky Way galaxy and the Star Wars galaxy, along with Basi Lisker. And something had gone terribly wrong.
When the bird and the Andalite had first passed through the gateway, it had been such a small tremor, we hadn't noticed. After a few times, Basi noticed them. We decided to move the gateway.
But we hadn't moved it in time. The bird and the Andalite both made it through one more time- along with five others. We tried to turn them around, but it was too late. We managed to turn two of them ninety degrees, and slow down four others. But they all made it through the gateway.
The Andalite, Aldrea, went through the gateway with the bird, Tobias. But Aldrea was rescued by the Jedi Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade, whereas Tobias was sucked back into the gateway. The strange way that he was positioned ensured that rather than returning to his galaxy, Tobias ended up on Zonama Sekot…

I watched the Animorphs' adventures with detached interest. They couldn't come home. I knew that. It had been bad enough when it was just Aldrea and Tobias, but now this meant that none could return. With a phantom finger, I reached over and shut the gateway on the Milky Way side. This meant that Annie and I could never return home.
We had grown up apart, never aware that we were gatekeepers. After fourteen years, Annie and I had met. We had taken control over the gateway from its previous keepers, and now easily controlled it.
But we were from Earth, and could never return.
And the vindictive previous keepers knew that we were trapped in the same galaxy as they were.
Annie left to Zonama Sekot. But I had somewhere else in mind…
