There Here!!!
Hey again. Please don't kill me over the cliffhanger. I just thought it would be fun to write, even though I despise them. :). Please R/R. Enjoy!
Two Andalites stood in the doorway. I assumed that they were guys, The taller of the two took charge of the situation by speaking to one of the aliens standing there. Just to be safe I slipped the blue box thingy in my back pocket.
Why have you brought aboard an alien onto your vessel? He asked.
"It just appeared on our vessel when you attacked us." The alien paused, looking at the, um I think it is called a grater, in his hand. "Though I would be willing to trade it to you for the mere price of one of your Shredders."
You just said that it appeared on your vessel and now you attempting to trade for it. I do not believe we will trade for it, we will simply take it back to our ship.
I listened intently to what they said before I intervened. I cleared my throat quite loudly and said, "I do not appreciate being called an it and I do not like being talked over as if I was not alive and sentient."
"It is violent, it has a weapon, and we can handle it. If you will release our vessel, we will return it to its rightful home."
At this I fired a shot about two inches to the right of the alien's head, or at least I meant to. Instead I missed and shot about five inches to the left of its neck. Either way I made my point. "Shut-up if you wish to live," I said as I pointed the gun at the Andalite in front of me. "Get against the wall, both of you." I had always wanted to say that and frankly it was kind of fun. Unfortunately I remembered the other Andalite a little too late. I heard the whoosh of its tail before everything went black.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
"Uhhhhhh." I groaned as I sat up and looked around me. I tried to remember why nothing felt right, beyond the fact that this was clearly not my house. I looked around at my surroundings and realized that I felt weird because I had no Yeerk. I sat up to see the Andalite who had hit me in the head.
Darex, it's awake. It said.
Okay, umm, ask it what it is and what it wants. The Andalite, whom I assumed was Darex, said.
The Andalite turned to look at me. Umm, what are you?
"A flying monkey," I said sarcastically, "Why?"
We wish to know if you are hostile.
"Was that a question or a statement?"
A statement. Are you?
"No, not really. And just to set you strait I'm not a flying monkey. I'm a human from the big round blob in space called Earth."
You live on a blob? And I thought you were weird just because you walk on two legs with no tail what so ever.
"No, I don't live on a blob. That was a joke. By the way, name's RB. What's yours?"
I do not think you could pronounce it. It is very complex.
Hey Chrispen, you done asking it the questions? Darex asked.
Um, yes.
Good. It's your turn to fly.
Chrispen groaned, but left. So I began to gather my thoughts about the day. So far I got this:
It was seven and my gang and me were gathered around the swings at the private school we were forced to go to. My group of friends consisted of FLOSS, GB, MVL, and me, RB. We were trying to decide what to call the new girl who had transferred from Massachusetts. Everyone here had a nickname that we had given to them after we had called them NG or NB for a week. "I vote we call her GG." I said, or rather Kornath said for me.
"Why, RB?" FLOSS asked. "Because she always has something black on so I think we should dub her GG or Goth Girl. Who agrees?" It was a unanimous vote. The girl came walking up, wearing a camouflage t-shirt and black jeans. "Hello GG. How are you?" I asked "politely." She stared at me for a minute before she realized that I was talking to her. "Fine." She said, "And you, RB?" "Great." She walked off. GG? I like it Root Beer. How ever did you think of such a thing? Kornath asked me. None of your BW. And it's RB or Tia to you. I told him. The bell rang then and we headed inside.
I sat in class, going over the nicknames of my friends and remembering how they came to be. We called FLOSS, FLOSS because she came in the first day with a piece of floss hanging out of her mouth. We called GB, good boy because he acts like a class clown in class. We called MVL, most valuable looser because when he came here he told us about the fact that when he left his old school, the bullies said they were so sad because they were going to loose their favorite looser. And they call me, RB, root beer because one day I spilled root beer on my shirt during lunch. Isn't life fun.
The teacher continued to talk and I began to think about the fact that Kornath had to go to the Yeerk Pool right after school and I had left the book sitting on my bathroom sink. Great, I muttered, just great. Now I have to try and engage my fellow prisoners or my captures in a conversation. There are times that I hate life. Well the day went on and on and on. Finally school was over and we headed down to the Yeerk Pool. And that is where this whole adventure began.
The other Andalite came walking in. His eyes narrowed, While my friend may think that you are quite fascinating, I do not. In fact, I do not trust you at all. I believe that you are a Yeerk spy that has been sent to spy on our technology and gather information on our weakest defense points. I assure you, he said, raising his tail blade and putting it against my throat, that you will find none.
"While normally I would be jumping up and down at the fact that you figured it out, today is not your lucky day." I said as I tried to calmly move his tail blade. It didn't work. I tried again. Again it didn't work. I finally gave up and asked, "Can you do me a favor and move your tail. It's a bit uncomfortable to sit here with impending doom pressed against my neck." I was amazed at how calm I sounded, because I didn't feel calm at all. He continued to glare at me, but he removed his tail and I rubbed my neck. "Can you please explain to me why you think that I am a spy for the Yeerks?" I asked.
I do not believe that an alien as unintelligent as you could show up on a Skirt Na ship by chance. Thus I have concluded that you are a Yeerk and will be treated as such until you have proven that you are not.
"You're gonna keep me locked up in this room thingy for 3 days just so that I can prove to you that I'm not a Yeerk. Honestly, and I thought Andalites were suppose to be intelligent." I said, shifting uncomfortably and remembering that I had stuck the blue box thing in my pocket before that Andalite knocked me out. I pulled it out of my semi wet pants, (thankfully my clothes were mostly dry) and held it up. "Hey mister I'm so high and mighty because I have four legs and I can talk telepathically do you know what this is."
He looked at it and stared at me in horror. Where did you get this? he demanded.
"Um, well I found it at my house next to a button. I have no idea what it is. Do you?" I asked.
Yes, that is not your concern, but I suspect that if you have know idea what it is then you are not a Yeerk. I am sorry. he said.
"Well if you had met me this morning you would have been correct in your assumption. But that was then and this is now. Falalala life goes on." I said brightly. (A/N I don't own the falala bit.) "Well, what is it?"
This is a blue box. No one has the technology for it except Andalites. I do not understand how you got this. he said with in confused tone.
"Join the club." I muttered and then smiled. "So now that I know you're not a Yeerk and you know to a certain degree that I'm not a Yeerk, care to tell me your name?"
I do not give out my name so easily. he said narrowing his eyes.
"Oh, really Mr. Darex? You don't?" I said grinning even wider.
How did you? Oh, you heard Chrispen say it. He looked annoyed and must have said something to Chrispen because he then smiled with his eyes. Ah and you also seem to give out your name as easily as I do RB.
"Oh, go eat a worm."
A worm?
"Yes, a slimy thin thing found on earth. Or better yet go eat a slug. It'll probably taste just like a Yeerk."
He left and Chrispen came in to announce that we were 2 hours away from Andalidom (Disclaimer: Mine! I made it up because KAA never gave Ax's planet a name.) and then left leaving me to sit there and stare at space for 2 hours. Can you say increased boredom?
Well that's the second chapter. Don't worry the third chapter will pick up some more. Please R/R.
