Rachel-
"Rachel... Rach? RACHEL!" Cassie yelled, snapping her fingers in front of my face.
"Wha!" I yelped, jerking my head up.
"What's-ooooh," Cassie smirked.
"Huh?" I asked.
Cassie and I were in the bleachers, watching one of Tobias's soccer games. Might I include that he looked so ho- no. He looked average. Very average in that uniform.
At least, that's what I'll tell Cassie.
For some reason, everybody thinks that Tobias and I are 'meant to be'. I mean, so we're close. So it's my chance to be with him now that he's human. Doesn't mean I'm gonna do it.
"You are so crushing," Cassie giggled.
I blinked. Cassie isn't usually like this. She's usually the little farm girl who couldn't care less about most boys.
Jake being an exception. Duh.
"Hello, ladies!" A voice came.
Ugh. Marco.
There the shorty was, walking up to us. He planted himself next to me, and I flinched.
"A bit too close for comfort, Marco."
He grinned. "Ah. The lass is saving herself for a certain young lad," He said in a Scottish accent.
I rolled my eyes. "And who might this 'young lad' be?"
"You're looking at him, lassie!"
My jaw hung open.
Realizing that he had spoken wrong, Marco's eyes widened and he shook his head.
"No, Rach! I meant the one you were just drooling over."
"I was not drooling over Tobias!"
Well, maybe a little (a/n: I am a full Tobias lover. So sweet and sensitive, and cute!).
I looked down to disguise my flushed face.
"If Tobias gets this goal, he'll win the game!" Cassie suddenly whispered.
Looking up, I saw Tobias kicking the ball toward the net. The goalie looked tough and nimble. This would be hard.
"Go, Tobias!" I yelled. Corny, I know, but I couldn't resist.
He was as close as he was gonna get without there not being enough room.
"This is it," I whispered, clutching Cassie's arm.
Then... bam! The ball went straight into the net!
I stood with the rest of the crowd, cheering wildly for him.
The referee gave him the trophy, and his team gathered around him.
"I'm going down there," I whispered to Cassie, casting a suspicious glance at Marco, who was smirking.
Man, why is he bothering me about
Tobias so much?

Tobias's POV
The team was all around me. Chris, my best bud (a/n: I am trying to make my writing sound like a guy... they do say 'bud' don't they?) on the team, walked up.
"Man, you were awesome!"
"It was nothing!" I grinned.
"Hey, Tobias!" A cheerful voice came.
Looking around, I saw a tall, beautiful blonde walking over to me.
Rachel.
The rest of the team's eyes were on her as she walked over in her jeans and sweater.
"You did great!" She smiled, normally icy blue eyes warm.
"Thanks," I said, "I didn't know you were here."
"Wouldn't miss it. Sure, I know nothing about soccer, but maybe you can teach me."
I nodded. "Sure."
Then unexpectedly, she hugged me.
Stunned for a moment, I hugged her back. He lips moved toward my ear, and she whispered, "It's nice to hug you again."
With that, she turned, flipping her golden hair, and walked off.
"Whoa," Chris said once she was out of earshot, "That's Rachel Berenson (a/n: I read the last book, and warning to all people who haven't read it yet: DO NOT READ IT!)."
"Yeah. So?"
Chris's eyes bugged out. "Oh, nothing. She's only the hottest girl in school!"
"Um, yeah."
Hottest girl in school. She had to have a date for the dance.

Ax-
What do you want me to do? I asked Marco.
We were in the woods, talking. He said that he had an important mission for me.
"I need you to talk to Tobias about Rachel."
Why?
"Look. Do they have a holiday on your planet for love?"
Why, yes. Ramika Day (a/n: Made this up!). It is one of the most highly praised holidays. I replied.
"Well," Marco said, "We have that here, except it's called Valentines Day. I have to get Rachel and Tobias together by the 14th."
Or what?
"Huh. Mrs. Walden never told me... it'll be bad, though."
How do you know this?
"Well, duh. Teachers are the epicenter of all evil. If we didn't have teachers, we wouldn't have Yeerks."
Interesting.
"Very. Now, you know your mission, Aximili! Dooooo it!"
Humans confuse me.

Hey, Ax man!
I looked up into the sky. Even though he is human and living in a foster home, Tobias still visits me daily in his hawk morph.
Hello, Tobias. Be careful.
Don't worry. I'm never gonna be a nothlit again.
Oh yes. My mission.
How is Rachel? I asked.
"Uh... fine. Why do you ask?
Just wondering. You seem closest to her.
Nah. That's Cassie.
Actually, I would say that you two are very fond of each other.
Fond of each other? You mean, like each other?
Tobias seemed very disturbed.
I still do not understand this 'like' concept.
Uh... it's when a person as feelings for another person
Feelings?
Man, this is awkward. Having feelings for a person means that you care for that person in a special way.
Ah. You mean, love?
Well, sometimes. Like is one step away from love.
Do you 'like' Rachel?
Ye-I mean, no! OK, I gotta leave... um, my time's short.
I seriously doubted this.
R and R!
