Marco's POV-

"So, we're off on another suicidal mission," I sighed.

"It's only a surveilence," Rachel pointed out cheerfully, "Not nearly as suicidal as most."

"I must agree. Eeee. Ee, ee, EEEEEEE!" Ax exclaimed.

"Tone the 'es' down a bit," Jake suggested.

"Yes, Prince Jake."

"Don't call me prince."

"Yes, Prince Jake." (a/n: I luv this!)

"I swear, that's what Jake's dying words shall be," Cassie muttered, trying to take the temperature of a very unlucky squirrel.

This is quite disturbing.

Rachel tossed her hair. "So, we're going into this big, 'scientific' place, and randomly destroying things?"

"I wish," Tobias muttered. He has this new morph, a Kodiak bear, which is basically very near the grizzly, but, according to Cassie, different. He enjoys it's firepower.

"Look, aren't you two perfect for each other?" I grinned in a cupid way.

Rachel blushed. Tobias rolled his eyes as well. But still...

I am so good.

Cassie's POV

I felt the changes in my body begin as I morphed to fly. Ugh. Flies are disgusting to morph, you should all know that by now... I'd just like to remind you.

( I do not see why you are all so worried when you morph this,) Ax commented. We were behind a big, empty warehouse.

"Oh, I don't know," Marco snapped, "Maybe 'cause I'm gaining four extra legs, my eyes look like they're shattering?"

(Well, it isn't that bad,) Ax muttered dejectedly.

"Sure," Rachel coughed.

I could see Marco getting a plotting look on his face. What was he thinking?

I was full fly now, and everybody else was still human.

"Uh, Cass?" Jake asked, looking around.

( Over here, Jake, ) I laughed in thought speak.

"Eeeek! Fly!" Marco fake-screamed, trying to swat me.

Jake pumched him.

"Look-" Rachel began.

"NOOOOO!" Marco yelled. She smirked.

"Let's do it."

000

(This is the most boring surveilence we've ever done,) Rachel announced.

It was.

All the yeerks were doing were talking about the losses they'd had since "The Andalite bandits" last attacked.

And, uh, we kinda knew who we had killed.

(Look,) Jake snapped, (We ha-)

(Let's just go,) Marco sighed.

We began to fly out of the place, and everything went smoothly.

Until we were out, that is.

"Um," Jake said as we demorphed, "I feel like we're missing something."

I looked around.

"Oh my gosh," I whispered, "We're missing Rachel and Tobias."

"Exactly," Marco smirked.

Marco's POV

"What do you mean?" Jake hissed in his silky mean voice.

"Yes!" Ax, in his human morph, nearly yelled. Then ruined it by adding, "Es. Sss. Eh!"

"Look," I sighed, "I'm cupid. They won't get hurt. They'll just think they might be... I found this tool of Ax's... it creates very realistic simulations.."

Rachel's POV

It was dark. I was human.

"Tobias?" I called. Please don't ask me why I tried for him first.

"Rachel? Over here!" Came a voice from down below. I walked into a sliver of light. I was on a high platform, looking down onto Tobias.

"Oh man," I whispered.

"It must have been a trap," Tobias said quietly.

"Where are the others?" I asked nervously.

"Don't know. You and I seem to be the only ones around."

"How... how do I get off of here?"

There was a long silence, and finally, Tobias spoke.

"Rachel... you're gonna have to jump."

I laughed.

"Yeah. Right."

"I'm serious."

"Look," I exclaimed, "I can morph bird-"

"No. There might be alarms. I'll catch you."

"OK... you'd better." My voice was shaky.

And then... I jumped.

The wind was whistling past me. I kept my eyes open though. Not like it would help, but...

Thump!

"Oof," Tobias grunted as I landed in his arms. Instinctively-only that!- I wrapped my arms around his neck and laid my head against his chest.

"Tobias!"

"Ssh," He murmured, "It's OK."

For a moment, we stayed that way, just him holding me.

Finally, awkwardly, we separated. I was blushing. That had been like a scene out of a corny old movie.

"Look," I whispered, pointing. "A way out."

Marco's POV

I watched Tobais and Rachel sitting very close together on the bus the next day.

Muhahahahahahahaha! My evil plan is working.

Well, that had some T/R in it. Actually, all of te chapter have at least a bit...
