-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x--xx-x--x-xx-x-x--xx-x-
I think I was stunned.
No, seriously. I could...not..move on my own.
Rachel actually had to pick me up and take me back to the barn after Cassie had coaxed Pilot to demorph. Which, after that, he slipped back into unconciousness for some reason.
(It talked to me) I muttered limply in Rachels arms as Marco and Jake carried Pilot back to the barn, everyone else following, including talking Fid- I mean, Charlie.
(Dogs should not be talking to me. Not just the fact that things other than you guys are talking to a bat-me- is waaay wrong, but the fact that an acutal dog is talking is wrong on sooo-)
"Dax, if you dont shut up I'm going to wring your little bat neck"
(Hey, you try being a bat thats been-)
"I so dont care Dakota!" She grabbed my neck, bringing me up to her face. I sqeaked.
(Have mercy!)
"I'll show you mercy you little-"
"Oh Rachel leave him be" Cassie chided, prying me from her hands and cradling me gently "He's just-"
(IM JUST A BAT! BE NICE WITH ME!)
"Ow! Dax!"
(It would be advisable to keep the noise level down for the time being, as-)
"What the-"
Thump!
"MARCO!"
"SORRY!"
"YOU COULD'VE-"
(ENOUGHT SHOUTING!) Tobias suddenly yelled, then when everyone shut up muttered (Geez, it's amazing I put up with you people sometimes)
"Did that dog just-"
(Thankyou for finally noticing!)
(I am not merely a-)
(This is quite strange indeed)
"Can we save it for when we all get to the barn!" Jake snapped, making all of us, even...talking dog.. jump.
"Well... yes sir!" Marco saluted, and Jake gave him a wary eye before Marco picked up Pilots head, and they continued to carry him back to the barn.
(I wouldnt be surprised if he's got brain damage from that) Tobias muttered as we all finally reached the barn, and Cassie set me on a stall door, which I used to climb up into the rafters beside Tobias.
Marco and Jake put him down in the middle of the floor, and Charile... talking Fido as I'd renamed him... sat beside him, with everyone taking their usual places. Ax flicked his tail, obviously cautious.
"Ooookay, now what?" Rachel asked.
(I believe I am...required to explain my presence here)
(Damn right...stupid talking Fido) I grumbled, catching a glare from Jake.
And if I'd been game I would've stuck my tongue out at him.
"Wassgoinon?"
(AAAAAH!)
Everyone jumped at the same time I think, and both Tobias and I lost our footing. I thumped to the ground, Tobias right beside me.
"PILOT!"
We all looked to see Pilot sitting up, rubbing the back of his head.
"Did I fall?"
(Yeees, and thanks to me you're still alive) I managed to scrabble up, checking myself for injuries. Surprisingly there were none.
He looked at me, completely stupified.
"Oh...yeah...David"
(YES DAVID YOU MORON!)
"Who you callin moron bat boy?" He asked as he stood up, making his way over to me but I was already shooting up towards the rafters, where he couldnt get me.
(And did I mention that your dog TALKS!)
"Are you eating too many hallucinigetic bugs?" Pilot asked me, crossing his arms over his chest.
(Oh ha ha, and just for that, an extra ha)
"Pilot, as strange as this sounds" Jake started, rubbing his forehead "your dog really does talk"
"Charlie does not talk"
(He does) Ax confirmed.
"HES A DOG! HOW CAN HE TALK!" Pilot shrieked like we were all crazy.
(I am not a dog)
Pilot spun around to look at talking Fido and blinked.
I swear, if I had been human I'd have been smirking.
"C-c-charlie?" He stuttered.
(Not my name, but yes Pilot, it's me)
"Whoa!" Pilot jumped, stumbling back before tripping over his own feet and falling over on his stupid ass.
Seconds later he was back up, looking around, brushing himself off.
"I meant to do that"
Oh I was trying so hard not to laugh at the guy.
He looked around, acting cool, then looked over at talking Fido.
"I knew there was something about you"
"Gee, and you didn't think to tell us?" Marco asked.
"Marco? Shut up" Rachel growled, which, suriprisingly, shut him up.
"Well, not like I knew my dog could talk, which, I'd like to know why and how you can talk, and why you didn't tell me sooner" Pilot turned back to his dog, and I managed to keep it to a snort.
"Shut up bat boy"
(Didn't say nothing)
"Both of you shut up" Jake growled, and we fell silent.
(I believe it's best I explain)
"Go ahead then" Cassie coaxed.
(My name is Jirik-Charvet-Kewal)
Ax visibly jerked. It looked like the poor guy was about to fall over.
(Uh, wait, is that what I think it is?) Tobias asked.
"I think it's-"
(It's an andalite name) Ax hissed.
"Andalite!" Marco and Rachel yelled together, and I almost fell off my perch.
"You're shittin me!"
(I shit you not)
That, coming from an andalite, just... was just too funny.
I fell, laughing my head off, not caring if I hurt myself in the process.
"DAKOTA JUST SHUT UP!"
I squeaked, instantly silent.
"Go on... um... Jirik"
(Thankyou. As you may have guessed, I am a nothlit. I came to this earth seeking refuge. I was... previously on the High Council)
(So it is you!) Ax cried, making me jump again.
Damn insane aliens!
(You were-)
Jirik nodded his doggy head, sighing in our minds (Yes, young aristh, I was-)
"Was what?"
(I...committed crimes that were held highly offensive by the High Council)
"Like?" Pilot pushed.
(I...cannot say)
"We'll, how'd you manage to become a nothlit?" Rachel asked.
(I became aware of the presence of Yeerks on this planet, and decided to investigate)
"How?" Cassie asked.
(It was over time I noticed that some people changed. Not enough to make other humans aware of it, but enough for me to notice. They went to the same places every three days... and soon, I knew I had to find out what was behind those doors, and not as a human)
"Then...howd you get in?" Marco asked, and I had a feeling this was where the story would get interesting.
(I decided a domestiv animal would be best, as they could move in and out more easily than myself as a human. I soon found a dog with a litter of puppies, one of which I aquired. I snuck into one of the areas I'd been investigating. After a certain amount of time I found I was correct)
(Why have I got a feeling this story doesnt have a happy ending?) I whispered to Tobias. He just looked at me, and I fell silent again.
(During this mission, however, I was captured by a young female, who insisted on taking care of me, since I was 'too young to be alone', and had no choice but to stay as I was)
"Wow, thats so sad" Cassie whispered.
(Not as sad as you think. I later found this girl was actually one of your Chee friends. I talked to her, and soon, she introduced me to Erek. A year later... I met you, Pilot)
"Um...wow, quite a story" Pilot rubbed the back of his head again.
(Totally. Who knew talking Fido was actually a disgraced andalite turned nothlit?)
"Um, excuse me? Talking Fido?"
I looked down at Pilot who was glaring up at me.
(Yeees, I said that. Got a problem with that?)
"His name is Charlie-um, Jirik-whatever, and he's my friend!"
(And the point of this story iiiiis?)
"Thats it!" I saw him grab onto the ladder, making his way up to the rafters, and I squeaked.
(CANT YOU TAKE A SIMPLE JOKE!)
"NOT WHEN ITS ABOUT MY BEST BUDDY!"
(AAAAAH!) was all I had to say as I scrabbled around, trying to find a place he couldn't reach me. Which was...surprisingly harder than it sounds.
He managed to grab onto the beam, coming after me.
(STOOOOOP! IM INNOCENT!)
"OH BULLSHIT YOU ARE!"
(IM JUST A LITTLE BAT! DONT HURT MEEE!)
"IM GONNA WRING YOUR NECK!"
(WHAT IS IT WITH PEOPLE WRINGING MY NEEEEEECK!)
"You're just that annoying!"
(SHUT UP MARCO! YOURE NOT MAKING THIS EASIER!)
"WOULD THE TWO OF YOU GIVE IT A REST FOR FIVE GODDAMN SECONDS!"
I yelped and fell off when Pilot was close to me, hitting the floor. Pilot managed to jump down, landing beside me, instantly grabbing me around the throat.
"If you ever say something bad about Charlie again you wont live to see another day"
(Okee) I squeaked.
He put me down, and just as he turned away I stupidly had to go and open my big mouth.
I'm seriously surprised I'm still alive to this day.
(I mean, hes just a dog, why get so-)
Pilot turned and lunged, and just before he could get me Rachel stepped in, saving me.
"Dakota you owe me!"
"DONT YOU DARE SAY HES JUST A DOG! YOU SLIMY LITTLE NUISANCE OF A BAT!"
(I'm not slimy) I sulked.
"IM GONNA KILL YOU!"
"WOULD BOTH OF YOU JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!"
(I believe I am going deaf) Jirik/Charlie said from somewhere as I lay there, a stupified bat.
(You and me both pal) I muttered.
(Then why do you insist on picking fights with him?)
(He started it) I said stupidly.
"DAKOTA!"
(THATS MY NAME DONT WEAR IT OUT!) I yelled, taking off into the air, realising why I did.
Cause it was just damn fun to tease the guy.
And yes, I know I'm mean, but a guy... um, bat.. has to get his kicks somehow, doesnt he?
