Okay, I'm not entirely sure where this is going. But I'd like to warn you and tell you that this is JUST AN IDEA! It doesn't impact any of my other stories, okay?
Okay! ON WITH THE SHOW!
And please, review? I'd love reviews for this!
ONWARDS!

"Oh come on!" I threw a chip at Marco, and he dodged it, laughing.
"You gotta be kiddin me!"
"Who says I'm kidding?" He grinned that Marco grin, challenging me. I just glared at him.
He burst out laughing.
Which just deepened my frown.
"I give up with you"
"Good. I win!"
I raised an eyebrow "Who said you won?"
"Daaaaaax"
"I aint askin her out for you!"
"You loooost"
"No I diiiiidn't"
"Yes you diiiid. Now ask her out for me!"
"Oh I'll ask her out, it just wont be for you"
Now it was my turn to grin, and his turn to frown.
A sudden hand on my shoulder made me jump, andI looked up to see a very regretful Cassie looking down at me.
"I hate to be rude Dax, but you've only got five minutes left in morph"
"SAY WHAT!"
"Shh! People will hear you!" Marco hissed.
"And what? Wonder what he's doing with you?" Rachel teased, sitting next to him as I silently began to panic.
"Where's the mens in here!"
Jake pointed "That'a way"
"Better hurry" Tobias muttered as I bolted towards it.
FIVE MINTUTES!
Had I really been that distracted?
I jumped into the nearest stall, tearing the clothes from my body as I already thought of my normal form.
My bat form.
My pants and socks slipped off me as I began to shrink, and I tore my shoes off with them, leaving only my morphing outfit.
I heard someone come in, and almost freaked when I saw a hand on top of the door.
"You okay in there?" I heard Jake ask.
(Yeah. Before you scared the bejesus out of me!)
"Just hurry up" he muttered as I started to grow again. Once fully dressed I opened the stall, going out and pretending to wash my hands.
"Cutting it close"
"Blame Marco for the distraction"
"Hmm?" He raised an eyebrowat me in the mirrors reflection. I looked at my own face; one I rarely ever saw anymore.
Not like I needed to or anything. Just some messy sandy hair and wierd coloured eyes anyway...
"What? It's true! Him and girls man..."
Jake snorted, then left "Just try not to forget next time"
"Unless I want to"
"What?"
"Which I don't" I assured him, following him out.
"You realise that-"
"I know, I know. And I'm telling you I wont" I assured him, then looked around the food court.
"Hey, I'm gonna take off. Is that all right with you?"
"Sure, go for it. Just don't loose those clothes or Rachel will have your head"
I snorted "Don't I know it"
We split up and I went for the exit, then changed my direction to go look in some shops, just browsing this and that.
I was admiring the sweets, like Ax always did, when I accidently bumped into someone.
"Oh, sorry" I muttered to the blond-haired boy who looked about my age, mooving on and towards the door of the shop.
I suddenly feel something squeezing my arm, turning to see it was the guy who had my arm. And he looked...
Well, nicely put; he looked pissed.
"Um... hi? Do I know you?" I asked politely, trying to pry my arm out of his grasp, almost having a panic attack when I thought that this guy might be a controller.
"You don't know me, but your friends sure do" He said the word 'friends' with such distaste it was... kinda unnerving.
"And which friends would they be?"
"The Animorphs" He hissed in my ear.
It dawned on me then. Who he was... what he was...
Or what he should have been.
"You're David"
He smiled a little "Correct. Now, let's take a walk outside, shall we?" he yanked me along, until I pulled myself from his grasp, just following him along.
(Guys! If you can hear me, we've got trouble!) I called to whoever could hear me, hoping they'd get the message.
After I didn't hear anything, I added (It's your friend David! He's come back!)
(WHAT!) I heard Ax and Tobias shout in unison, almost giving me a headache.
I continued to play Mr. Innocent, following David up to the roof of the building.
"So, David, I thought you were a rat"
"I am"
"Oh"
"And you're really a bat"
I stopped in my tracks "How... did you know that?"
He turned back to me, smiling "I know everything"
"All right punk, what the hell do you want with me" I snarled, shovig him against the wall. He just chuckled.
"Just to talk"
"About?"
"About how your life was ruined the way mine was, all because of... them"
"Say what?"
"Coming? Because I can't be in the open for long"
I let go of him, and he went up the steps to the roof, with me blindly following him.
"So, how'd you get this body back?"
"Same way you did. Crayak"
I flinched at the thought.
"All right rat boy, whats your deal?" I asked, folding my arms and leaning against the door. He looked up at me, smiling.
"Don't you miss your family?"
"Course I do. But I'm not gonna whinge about it"
"They made you like this" he continued, almost not hearing me.
"Oh, because Rachel threatened your family?"
His turn to flinch.
Steeerike one for the bat boy!
"You don't know what they put me through! They made me a RAT!" He yelled, slamming me into the door.
"So? You threatened to sell them out. Fair trade I think"
He grinded his teeth "You're really not getting me"
"Yes, I am. Boohoo David. Boo-fucking-hoo. They weren't the ones who decided to sell a box, they weren't the ones who took your family, and most of all, they weren't the ones who killed someone innocent just to get payback"
"I WANTED A NORMAL LIFE!" He shrieked in my face.
"Boo-fucking-hoo" I restated, looking blandly down at him.
Sarcasm is what I do best.
Too bad sarcasm will also get me killed one of these days.
"All right, you asked for it! You and me, one on one right here!"
"How about somewhere less crowded. Say... the construction site, tonight"
"Oh no you don't. You're not gonna get your little Animorphbuddies to help you"
"I wont. Just you and me, one on one.They wont come near the place"
He looked at me, then around.
"All right then. But you'd better be there" he growled, turning and walking away. A few minutes later a golden eagle rose from the roof, taking off into the afternoon sky.
I put my head back against the door and sighed.
"DAX!"
"YAAAH!" I yelped, spinning around and putting my fists up as someone broke through the door.
That someone happened to be Marco, closely followed by Jake and Rachel.
"Where is he!" Rachel snapped, but right now I wasn't caring about her.
"MARCO YOU ALMOST GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK!"
"AAH! I DIDN'T MEAN IT! STOP CHASING MEEEEE!"
