Uh-oh Spagettioes!
Disclaimer: I do not own that phrase. I own everyone who has been mentioned in this story so far except people like Visser 3 and the Animorphs. Ok. On to the story. Oh wait. To answer a question. Tiamate is now in space, heading towards Earth. She is not in MA.
Darex was furious with his father and fumed about it for over an hour after we left. He also "kindly" told me where I could and couldn't go. The real fun was when I had to ask him where the bathroom was. Finding the toilet was all well and good, but using it was a different story all together. Apparently Andalites have two pipes. One to pee in and one to poop in. Which was which, I didn't know. So I had to ask Darex for help. He looked at me like I was crazy when I asked. You wish to know how to use a toilet? What, do they pee on trees on your planet?
"Actually, we pee in large cylinder basins that are usually white." Again I got the crazy look, but he was kind enough to explain about the pipes.
A little later on, I was walking towards the small "dome". Translation the large patch of grass with a small stream and a large tree in the center. This was where I was going to sleep since the only quarters that were available had enough room to stand. As I walked, I passed a door that slid open, and I was attacked by the female Andalite, uh Liliare or something (I couldn't remember her name at the time), and a box of Andalite weapons. She stood up, brushing herself off. Where may I find Darex? She asked coolly.
I stared blankly at her and massaged my head. I tried to remember who she was and where Darex was at the same time. Needless to say it didn't work. "Darex? Oh, umm he's on the..." I paused for a minute, trying to remember the name of the place where he was.
Bridge? She asked almost sarcastically. Is that even possible for Andalites?
"Yes, that thing."
Thank you, I suppose.
"Don't mention it. Really." I muttered that last bit under my breath, hoping she didn't hear it.
She stalked off to the bridge and I went to the dome, still massaging my head. I was so beat that I was asleep even before I hit the ground.
Through the night I had a nightmare about being controlled again, but this time I seemed to have lost the will to fight. I woke up and heard someone screaming. It took two minutes for me to decipher that that person was I. I rubbed my eyes and tried to go back to sleep. After a while I finally gave up and got up. I looked around and saw no one so I decided to take a bath. I pulled off my clothes and slid into the stream. I pulled my clothes in with me so I could wash them. After laying them out to dry, I started to try and wash myself. This was rather hard without soap, but at least I wouldn't smell like the Yeerk Pool anymore.
I was washing my hair and had just come up when I noticed a shadow. I looked up to find Darex leering over me, obviously upset about something. It took me another minute to realize that I was naked and he was looking at me. I think I reached a shade of red that doesn't exist on the color spectrum. I grabbed my shirt and yelled at him, "GET OUT! I'M TRYING TO TAKE A BATH HERE!" I pulled myself mostly out of the water, still yelling. I would have found the look on his face hilarious if I weren't so ticked. Let's just say he retraced his steps rather quickly. I got dressed and went out to look for him.
Do you wear artificial skin all the time? He asked.
"Yes. Now what is it you want?"
Why did you not inform me yourself that my sister was on board instead of simply letting her barge onto the bridge in a tantrum?
"Oh, was that a problem?"
Yes, you should have informed me or Chrispen before letting her speak to me.
"Hey, she asked for ya."
He seemed annoyed at my response but said nothing. Just then a bunch of lights started flashing and a computer said Warning: Incoming Blade Ship. All personal report to bridge.
