Disclaimer: I give up. This is the last one I'm writing! I don't own the Animorphs. If I did, I wouldn't be writing fan fics.

A/N: I am trying to do better about updating sooner. I hope I am doing ok. This is different from the eleventh chapter because it is from Lily's pov. Please enjoy and R/R.

Andalite Meets School

Kathryn was kind enough to wake me for my first day of, what she called, "public school". I rose and morphed into my human form. Opening the "drawers" of a dresser, I removed an article of clothes called a "bre" or a "bra". I was unsure what the true name of it was, but I decided that it was unimportant. What was important was how to don the article. I vaguely remembered Kat instructing me in wearing it and attempted to place it on my person. I pulled on an article called a "shirt" and placed the bre/bra on my body over the shirt. I put on some "shorts" and placed something called "underwear" on my head. I frowned as I looked at myself in the mirror. Are the hooks supposed to be worn on the back or in the front? I believed that they were worn in the front, but was still unsure. I decided to fix my appearance in the restroom if my mode of dress was incorrect.

I ate a piece of fruit on my way out to the "bus stop". There were many children there, who looked the same age as my human morph. I stretched my mouth into a smile as I passed. A girl about my age approached me. "Hi, I like your clothes. Very unique."

The girl smiled and I felt my face getting hot.

"Is this not the proper way to dress oneself?" I inquired slowly, so as not to stumble or play with words. Kat had informed me that this was unacceptable. I was attempting not to displease her.

"Not really, but hey, that's why I like your style. Very cool. My parents would never let me out of the house in something like that. They barely let me out of the house in this." She smiled again, slightly wider than before. I looked at her appearance. She had donned herself in a pink shirt, a pair of "pants", a green "sock", a blue "sock", and wore her mane of hair in many different ways. Her hair was held by brightly colored things that placed her tresses facing many different directions. I did not understand what was wrong with her outfit until I looked at every other human there. They were getting on a large, yellow creature that seemed to be prepared to devour them as they stepped into its mouth. I scarcely managed to stifle the yell of panic that threatened to reveal itself. The girl grabbed my arm and drew me into the creature's mouth. I closed my eyes and felt myself falling. A boy behind me and the girl who had spoken to me reached out and steadied me.

"Careful," he grinned, "You need to be more careful."

I muttered a quick and polite thank you as he walked around me and positioned himself on a brown thing, bending his knees and placing his buttocks on the outstretched area.

"Wow, that Erek is something else. He is so hot." The girl sighed. "Oh, by the way, I'm Erica. Who are you?"

"I am called Lily." I responded as she steered me towards a similar thing as the boy had sat down upon. She tugged hard on my arm as she sat, causing me to bend my knees in a similar fashion. I landed hard on the brown thing. "Oww-ww," I grumbled.

"You alright?"

"I am fine-fin-ee. Fine."

"Ok, if you say so." She rested on the back of the brown thing and stared at the back of the boy whose name was Erek.

We arrived at a large building. There were several more long, squat buildings surrounding it. Erica must have seen the panicked look on my face because she turned to me and smiled, "Don't worry. Stick with me and I'll show you the ropes."

I turned in a circle. "I see no ropes."

"It's an expression." The smile never faded.

It turned out that I was unable to be in every class with Erica. This was acceptable to me. We realized that we did have the same first period and lunch period. Erica said that I would be able to ask any of my teachers or classmates if I got lost. I did not "get lost" while finding my second period, though I did have a slight panic attack when the bell rang for us to leave. ((I had missed the first bell because Erica and I were in the middle of a conversation.)) My third period, however, was a little more confusing. The sheet said to enter the "new gym". Unfortunately, the "new gym" and the "old gym" were in two different places.

I wondered around for a few moments, before I beckoned for a girl, who was in my first class, to help me. She had dark skin and animal feces on her artificial skin, but she smiled and led me to the new gym. It turned out that she was in the same class as I was, along with her friend, Rachel. She told me that her name was Cassie. She lent me a spare pair of gym clothes for the class, insisting that I should wear them.

My third period was something called P.E. It was very confusing. We played a game called "basket ball". I was unable to understand the game and could not stay standing. Afterword, Cassie and her friend Rachel helped me dress myself again, since our coach insisted that we "dress out" for his class. They then invited me to sit with them at lunch. I inquired if I may bring Erica along and they agreed.

I reunited with Erica during fifth period and told her about Rachel and Cassie. She agreed that they were nice girls and was thrilled that they had invited me to sit at their table. When I explained that they had consented to let her sit with me, she looked even more ecstatic.

Rachel flagged us down when we had gotten our lunch. I was frowning at mine. It was a leafy green substance called a "salad". It looked rather disgusting. "Hey, Lily, Erica, come sit down with us." Her smile was warm and inviting. We sat next to her as she kept a look out for Cassie. When Cassie finally joined us, Rachel turned towards us. "So, you guys check out the Sharing yet?" I froze, not sure what to say as I looked at her.

Erica shook her head, "Not yet, though I was thinking about it, though. I hear it's pretty cool. What about you guys?"

Rachel shook her head, "I checked it out with Cassie and my cousin, but it wasn't for us."

I frowned, "I have not 'checked it out', but I have a friend who was a member and she says that she ended up hating it. She said that it ate up all her time and made it impossible for her to have a social life. Thus, I have concluded that I will not check it out. Owwut-out-oww"

Rachel and Cassie stared at me for a moment. I felt uncomfortable, almost as if I had said too much, but then the bell rang and it distracted them enough so that I could edge away.

I was relieved when the end of the day bell rang and we were aloud to leave. I was very proud of myself for remembering to demorph every two hours, which is what my brother seemed most concerned about. I simply hoped that I had not spoken about Tiamate in front of Yeerk Controllers. I did not believe that would have been good.

Kat and Darex greeted me as I entered Kat's house. "Hey, demorph and remorph, or whatever you need to do to get ready. I need to go over to a friend's house today."

A/N: Hope you enjoyed this last chapter. Please R/R. Thanks.
