Marco-

Oh yeah. I'm Cupid, and get no credit whatsoever. Rachel, has, in fact, been even more evil to me lately. According to Cassie, it's because she has 'conflicting emotions'.

Please. This is Rachel. She just plain loves to torture me!

"Marco," She said as we 'dicussed' matters in the barn. "Is it just me, or did you lose a few inches in height?"

"Ha ha," I laughed sarcastically.

Tobias, meanwhile, was looking 'troubled'. Cassie says that he is coming to terms with the fact that he's in love with his best friend.

Man, the Animorphs have their own Dr. Phil. Sweet.

"Look," Jake sighed, "We shouldn't focus on the holiday, just on the important matters."

"A-men." I agreed.

"He just doesn't want to go to the Valentine's Day dance," Cassie commented.

"Jake!" I pretended to be disgusted. "How could you!"

"Who does have a date to the dance, out of all of us, anyway?" Rachel asked.

"Trust Rachel to change the subject to our social lives," Jake remarked dryly.

"Jake and I are going, of course," Cassie said, shooting him a death glare. "I may not be the girliest of girls, but I want to go to the dance."

"What is this dance about? Ance." Ax asked. He was in human morph, duh.

"Remember when I told you about Valentine's Day?" I asked. He nodded. "This dance is a celebration of that day."

"I think that Ax should go," Rachel announced, "Since he almost died at his last one." (a/n: I loooooooved that book! How all those girls were looking at Tobias on that one part...)

"But-" Jake began, but Rachel, being Rachel, cut him off.

"We'd have to find a girl for him to take, so Tobias can introduce him to the cheerleaders. I would take him, since I don't have a date, but it would be kinda awkward."

"You don't have a date?" Tobias's surprised but pleased-sounding voice rang through the barn. It was the first thing he had said since the meeting began. Everyone-including Rachel- turned to him. He blushed.

"Yeah," She answered in a weird voice. "I... I don't."

Rachel's never been dateless, so I'm guessing that she turned down a lot of guys.

I finally broke the silence. "Tsk, tsk, Xena. I know how sharp of the tongue you are."

She rolled her eyes, blushing.

When she and Tobias weren't looking, I mouthed to Cassie, Jake, and Ax, 'told you!'

Tobias-

I was going where few men dare to enter. A terrifying area. Dangerous waters.

Toward a group of cheerleaders.

Yes, it was time for me to get Ax a date. "Look," I muttered to him, "Do not play with sounds, please." He bobbed his head.

After a moment, one of them caught sight of us and nudged her friends.

"Hi Tobias!" She squealed. I recognized her. Her name was Sara. She was pretty ditzy, and Ax needed someone smart, so I decided that she wasn't it.

That's when I saw one girl, standing apart from the others, watching us. She was taller than all of them, only a couple inches shorter than Ax and I. She had dirty blonde hair, with grey eyes, and tanned skin. Chris, and honor roll student. Perfect for Ax.

"Do you like her?" I muttered to him. He nodded.

"Actually," I said, "My friend Ax was wondering if Chris wanted to go to the dance with him."

She walked up, smiling. I'd love to, Ax."

If only my love life was that easy.
