Also to all you kiddies out there who likes it!
Oh yeah! Another chappie! Heeeere weee goooo!
L'Aini's POV
The next morning, I was talking to Hanike on the thoughtscreen.
(Hello my love!) He grinned. (Well, it's getting closer!)
I laughed. (You're getting desperate.)
He blushed. (WEll! It's boring on this ship! No action at all! We're just floating around in space, waiting for the war to end. It's still intense at the Yeerk's Home World, I hear.)
(Well, you'll be home soon!)
(Sooner than you think.) He looked sneaky to me.
(Is there something you know, that I don't?) I said.
He grinned. (Maybe...) He said, slyly.
I grinned back. (What!)
He laughed. (I have a surprise for you.)
(What?!) I said, laughing a little now, excited.
(I'm coming home early!) He shouted joyfully, laughing and sticking his arms in the air.
(Oh! Hanike! Oh that's wonderful!) I said, and suddenly my day seemed like it would be perfect.
(Yes.) He said softly. He gazed at me. (It truly is wonderful.)
I giggled, like a child. Then I blushed.
He laughed. (I love your laugh.) He said gently.
I blushed further. Then I looked at him out of the corner of my eye.
(I love YOU.)
(I love you too.) He sighed. (You're perfect for me.)
(So are you.) I replied.
I realized it was time for me to go. I had to accompany Aximili; he was going to see Estrid again!
(I've got to go, my love.)
He looked sad. (Already?) He whined. (Why now?)
(Aximili is going to see Estrid again.) I had explained to him earlier about my 'patient'.
He laughed. (She's lovely then?)
I smiled. (I guess he thinks so.)
She was lovely. I felt rather plain next to her. I was short, perhaps a little taller than her, though. I wasn't exactly petite like her, though. I was a little plump. I was built; I had muscles, but not alot. To say the least, I had borne two children. I wasn't exactly the best looking female around anymore. Not that I had ever been!
I suppose Kascherm thought I was gorgeous.He used to shower me with (You are so unbelievably fine.) every morning. And (I can't believe I'm married to you; you're beautiful, AND sane! Hanike said I was at every opportunity.
(You're lovely.) He said, breaking into my thoughts.
See what I mean.
I smiled. (You're very sweet. And very, very handsome.)
(You're sweeter.) He said softly. He was looking me up and down again, dreamily.
I laughed.
(What?)
(You look so homesick. Poor child.)
He pretended to pout. (I am not a child. I am a Prince.)
(Yes you are.) I said, smiling. (That doesn't mean I can't take you down a notch or two though.)
He laughed. (I know.)
(I'm getting late! I've got to go! I love you.)
He sighed sadly. (I love you too. See you later, then.)
(Yes. See you-)
(Tonight.) He said and grinned mischievously again.
(You're playing with me!) I cried.
(No.) He grinned even wider.
(OH! I can't believe it!)
He laughed. (See you tonight, my love.)
(Yes.) I said, suddenly giddy. (Tonight, then.)
(No, actually this afternoon.)
I stared at him.
He laughed. (I'm just joking! Tonight!)
Tobias's POV
When I had gotten back the night before, Jake, Menderash, and Santorelli were sitting in actual lawn chairs, and Jeanne and Marco were actually reclining on blankets in front of them, and talking with Cassie on the large screen. Ronnie was talking too, and chewing on a slice of a veggie pizza Cassie had apparently ordered. I hung out and talked a while longer. Cassie said she was doing great. Just sad; missing us. Jake seemed really shy around Cassie. And of course, Ronnie and Jake were akward around eachother. But they were having a pretty good conversation all around.
This morning, as we headed back to Estrid's scoop with L'Aini, Ax was more excited; all jittery.
We got there and this time, we sat in the scoop and all talked. Little Ax said goodbye to his mother, then ran to school. He smiled at me and L'Aini as he passed us by.
Estrid and Ax were blushing around eachother alot. I had the feeling that there was something going on beyond what I could see. They smiled at eachother mysteriously. Suddenly, Ax asked Estrid and the rest of us to come out on the beach. Her face flushed and she said. (Y-yes.)
We followed them, puzzled. Ax was holding Estrid's hand and pulling her along.
We reached the soft sand. Then the shore. The wind blew sea smell into our faces. I was in andalite morph. We stood in the shallows; the water running up, then back. I stood with L'Aini, our backs to the sea and watched...
as Ax got down on his stomach...
and he took hold of Estrid's tail blade...
and put it to his throat...
I momentarily panicked. What was he doing?!
And then he asked the question.
(Estrid, will you...will you be my wife?)
She smiled, her face blushing beautifully again. Her eyes blinked rapidly.
(O...okay! Yes! Sure!)
She sounded like she was saying yes to going to see a movie with him or something!
Yep. There was definitely something there that I didn't know about.
I looked at L'Aini. She looked as surprised as I was.
We turned to look at them and my hearts swelled. They were embracing now, standing on the gray sand, the pink sky behind them, the wind blowing, and the water swirling around their legs.
I looked at L'Aini. If she had been a human, she would have been tearing up.
I held her hand as her torso bended forward and she began to cry.
(It's okay.) I said, gently. She was probably thinking about her husband again. Poor L'Aini.
L'Aini's POV
I looked into his eyes. Those large green eyes of Aximili's staring into mine.
I blushed and looked down. He gently cuddled me close. The ocean roared behind us, and his warm torso leaned it to shelter me from the wind. The sea water swirled about my legs gentlly; washing forward, then sucking backward into the sea.
A little embarrassed, I pulled away gently. (I...thank you...). We turned to leave.
(Well.) Tobias said and grinned. He walked, holding my hand, and led me away from the water. (We've got a great deal of people to tell!)
Estrid looked nervous. I wondered. Had she told her parents about this?! What about little Aximili?!
Tobias gently released my hand, and demorphed to hawk. He flapped and soared up above us. (Come on!) He yelled.
(Tobias!) Aximili called out to him, protesting. (I...I'm not ready to tell my parents yet!)
(I meant the Animorphs!) Tobias called back, gleefully.
I smiled. Oh brother! This was going to be interesting!
Tobias's POV
We got to the Rachel. Once again, everybody was camped out around the computer for 'Cassie Time'. It was probably about 6:00 pm on Earth- right when Cass and Ron would be back from work.
"The Ronnie and Cassie shooooow!" Marco sang to the tune of 'the Itchy and Scratchy Show' on the 'Simpsons'.
I laughed.
"Hey man!" Marco said. "You're just in time! We's be about to tune in! And you brought le Doctor! And...hey! Estrid?!"
She blushed. (H-hello...Marco, I believe?)
He pretended to look hurt. "You don't remember MY name?! You remember TOBIAS'S name, but you don't remember MINE?!"
I felt like rolling my hawk eyes, but that was impossible. I tried anyway. It worked very oddly.
Marco stared at me. "Okay, Bird man!" He turned and yelled to Jake.
"JAKE! Got a SURPRISE FOR YOU!"
Jake came over from the Cassie screen. "Hey! Wait...Estrid, right?!"
She smiled shyly. (Hello, Prince Jake.)
"What's up?" He nodded to her.
We told him, or Ax told him and we kept butting in excitedly. Soon everyone else was called over and we were all laughing and talking, and excited, and Marco was making stupid jokes, and Cassie was smiling for Ax on the screen and telling him congrats...
It was the best night in a long, long time. Ax looked happy, and almost finally at peace.
For the time, anyway.
Poor Ax.
Marco came over to me and grinned.
"Hey! You know what this means right?!"
(Oh man. What?)
"PARTAAAAYYYYYYY! WHOOOOO!"
"Oh no." Jake said, in a joking tone, and grinned.
Okays! I finally updated! Sorry you guys had to wait a while! Been having writer's block! Thanks for all your reviews! It's great so far! I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! Don't worry; there will be more!
