Last time ...:
T: "Where are the others? Katrina, Kyle, Cassie ..."
R: "Cassie?" ::looks at him:: "You haven't seen Cassie either?"
T: ::shakes head:: "Or Marco. I've only talked to Jake, Ax, Quan, and you."
R: "Well, I've seen Marco, and Kat and Kyle live on the homeworld, but Cassie-"
Drode: ::gleefully:: "Is a casualty of war!"
* * *
OOCEm: ((Jenni, you are horrible ...))
R: ::stamps foot impatiently:: "Yes, and I don't want any lip from you. Got it?"
Alf: ::meekly:: YES MA'AM.
T: "Have I mentioned how great a mother you're gonna be?"
R: "Yeah, in that reality, remember?"
T: "Oh ... right."
Alf: ::takes them back 15 years, when Mina was two. They are in
her house, standing next to her bed. The house is oddly empty.::OOCEm: ((Why did we just jump back a couple of years?))
OOCJe: ((HELLO! ::knocks on Emily's head:: So they can change what Mina did!))
OOCEm: ((Then shouldn't we have gone ... oh ...))
R: ::whispering:: "Well here is one Mina, where's the other?"
T: "I don't know. Where would she go?"
YMi: "Mommy? Daddy?" ::begins waking up, rubbing her eyes::
T,R: ::exchange glances and duck out the door::
R: "What are we going to do?"
T: "I think she'll come for Young Mina. We should just wait here ... I think."
::they suddenly hear a noise downstairs::R: "Hide!" ::hides::
Mi: ::creeping up the stairs slowly, reaches the top::
T: ::whispering:: "It's Mina."
R: "Oh ..." ::steps out in front of her:: "Mina."
Mi: ::doesn't hear, and walks right through Rachel.::
T: "Hmmm ... I don't think that's a good sign ..."
R: "That felt weird." ::touches his arm:: "I can touch you, but Mina can't see, hear, or touch us."
Mi: ::from inside room:: "Hello ... Mina."
YMi: "Hi. Where's Mommy?"
Mi: "She's not here right now. Listen, you need to come with me, okay?" ::walks out carrying Young Mina::
YMi: ::points to Rachel and Tobias:: "Who are they?"
Mi: "Who are who?"
YMi: "Those people."
Mi: ::freezes:: "What do these people look like, Mina?"
R: ::frowns and looks at Tobias:: "She can see us?"
YMi: "Yes I can see you, why wouldn't I be able to see you?"
Mi: "Tell me, Mina!"
YMi: "A boy and a girl, with blonde hair-"
Mi: ::begins running::
T: "Mina! Wait!" ::they run after her::
YMi: ::pulling away:: "He says wait."
Mi: "No, Mina! We have to stop this. Leave us alone, Rachel, Tobias!"
R: "We can't, you can't do this!"
YMi: "They said you can't."
Mi: "No! I'll change everything! It'll be better."
R: "No, it won't! Cassie will be dead ..."
T: "Jade will be a messenger boy ..." ::snickers::
YMi: ::relays all this to Adult Mina, extremely confused::
Mi: ::falters:: "But I ..."
T: "You need to stop."
YMi: "Stop, Nice-Lady."
Mi: ::crying:: "But Tobias ..."
T: "Mina, I don't blame you. Now let her go."
YMi: "The man says he don't blame you."
Mi: "Really?"
T: "Yeah, now you've got to undo all of this."
YMi: "He says yes."
Mi: ::stops, putting Young Mina down slowly:: "I have to go now, Mi-mi. You be good for L-for Mommy, okay?"
YMi: ::nods solemnly::
Mi: ::suddenly, she can see Rachel and Tobias.::
"What just happened?"R: "We're not sure, but we've got to get out of here."
T: "My mother will be coming for her," ::gestures at Young Mina:: "soon."
Mi: "The Drode said I can't go back without him."
R: ::snorts:: "And you believed him?"
Mi: ::defensively:: "Yes! Drode helped me. Why shouldn't I believe him?"
T: "Um, because he works for big evil?"
Mi: "Uh?"
R: "The Crayak, he works for the Crayak."
Mi: "Who?"
T: "Never mind. Let's go."
R,Mi: ::shrugs, follow him outside::
Mi: "So, how do we get back?"
T,R: ::exchange glances:: "Alf!"
Alf: ::whiny:: WHA-AT?"
R: "Take us back."
Alf: ::proceeds to take them back to the Andalite world. Everyone is there.::
M: ::to Katrina:: "...bias says, 'I don't think it's politically correct to call nuts nuts.'" ::they all begin to laugh.
Between laughs:: "And ... and then Jake, trying to be funny said 'You have to be nuts to be called nuts.'" ::wild laughter:: "And to make it worse, he repeated it!"J: ::blushes as everyone laughs hysterically::
T,R,Mi: ::appear as everyone is laughing::
T: "Hey, what did we miss?"
OOCJe: ((Did they notice they were missing?))
OOCAl: ((I don't think so.))
A,Q: ::pop in, cowering, with Estrid and Lutmash::
Alf: OOPS. ::pops out Estrid and Lutmash::
Q: "Um ... what?"
R: "Cassie!" ::hugs her::
C: "What?"
R: "You're alive!" ::puts hand on stomach:: "And I'm still pregnant!"
J: ::looks at her like she's crazy:: "Why wouldn't Cassie be alive?"
C: "Yeah, and why would you not be pregnant?"
T: "Long story ..."
Mi: "Kyle!" ::runs up and hugs him::
Ky: ::hugs her back::
Q: ::OKAY! She is a female, obviously, with long, really long, long, long, long dark brown hair, um ... pale skin and eyes, let's see ... purple eyes. Yeah. Uh, and she always wears a brown two-piece, bottom is a skirt.:: "Why am I human?"
A: ::still remembering, snuggles up to her and takes her hand after morphing human. He has an olive type complexion, brown, short, sorta curly hair and has green eyes. Emerald green.:: "You don't remember?" ::dips her and kisses her::
Q: ::smiles:: "Now I do ..."
K: "Excuse me? Would you like to inform the rest of us?"
T: "It doesn't matter anymore."
C: "Um ... Quan, I don't think you're supposed to be in morph ..."
A: "Why not?"
C: "Her twins. They'll be affected by the birth."
Q: ::begins to cry:: "It's ... it's not twins anymore!" ::cries harder::
All H: ::stare at Ax::
A: "What?"
T: "What did you do now, Ax?"
Q: <He made me get rid of Resdent's.> ::now demorphed::
A: ::now demorphed and mutters:: <And the stupid doctors didn't even get the right one.>
Q: <But ... it wasn't Resdent's, the child was ...>
M: "Wait, one was Ax's and one was Ressy's? How unlikely is that?"
Q: ::stares at them blankly:: <Did we forget to tell you about all this?>
J: "Um, yeah. But who's was it?"
A: <Mine. It was mine.>
M: ::whispering:: "That's gonna put a crimp on their marriage."
OOCEm: ((Yeah, a single crimp. ::sigh:: I am so tired ...))
K: "They've had plenty of crimps." ::smacks him:: "Now shut up, you're not helping."
M: ::hangs head:: "Sorry."
Q: ::since she's mad at Ax ...:: <I need to go.::
OOCJe: ((Hehehe. She's gonna go to Resdent cuz he loves her.))
OOCEm: ((::sigh:: Jenni, you're yelling at me for confusing signs? Look at what you just wrote.))
A: <Quan! Wait!>
Q: ::whirls around:: <What?!>
A: ::meekly:: <I love you.>
Q: ::falters, but thinks of the dead child, and the live one he would have dead:: <Sure you do.> ::gallops away::
All: ::everyone stares after her::
M: "Ya know, ever since Quan got here, our lives have been one big problem after another."
K: "More problems than you had before?"
M: "Yeah, and that's the scary thing."
A: ::mutters:: <Females. Why do we even have them?>
J: ::morphs tiger:: <Alright, women, you're going down in a hole and you're coming up for reproduction only.>
OOCJe: ((Oh, here we go again. Is he talking to Quan?)
OOCAl: ((No, Cassie. We need more paper .......))
OOCEm: ((God, not again.))
R: ::crosses her arms and stares at Jake:: "Excuse me, dear cousin? I don't think Cassie, Mina, Katrina and I heard you clearly."
C: ::sigh:: "Jake snap out of it and demorph."
J: <Shut up, woman! I'm in charge!>
M: ::morphs gorilla:: <You tell 'em, Jake.>
Ky: ::morphs Taxxon:: <At long last, we will rule!>
T: ::morphs lion:: <We will triumph!>
OOCJe: ((Oh ... my ... God ... is it the water again?))
K: "Oh, not again ..."
Mi: ::frowning:: "You mean this has happened before? Kyle, what's wrong?))
OOCJe: ((Kyle needs more morphs ... Blair ... He's Blair ... ::sighs dreamily::))
OOCAl: ((Hey! Kyle's mine! And you can't have him!))
R: "Yeah, it happened before. Don't worry, you'll spend a week in the hole, they'll get bored, and spend another week kissing up to us. No biggy."
Mi: "I don't want to be stuck down a hole!" ::swats all the guys on their noses:: "Bad!"
OOCEm: ((Ya know, I knew a girl named Savannah once, she was a bitch ...))
Ky,M,J: ::all whimper pitifully::
T: <No, men! Be strong! We are the mighty ones! Stand together! We will take them to the hole!> ::all the guys morph gorilla because I say they now have gorilla morphs ... well the guys anyway ... they pick up the girls and take them to the very nicely furnished hole chanting:: <Take them to the hole! Take them to the hole!>
OOCJe: ((This is so pathetic.))
R: ::kicking Tobias:: "Get off me! I'll show you!" ::Tries to morph elephant, but Tobias is holding her too tight, she cannot grow::
C: "Jake, honey, is this what you really want to do? I mean, what fulfillment will you get?"
K: "You hairy monster, get off me!" ::pauses:: "Argh! You made me drop my M&Ms!"
C: ::goes into labor and clutches stomach:: "Ahhh! Jake, it's time!))
OOCEm: ((Considering the fact that she just found out she was pregnant like two WEEKS ago!))
J: ::stops:: <What?> ::demorphs, everyone demorphs with him::
OOCJe: ((You just be quiet! It's for the sake of the story.))
R,K,Mi: ::collective sigh of relief::
C: ::collective howl of pain::
R: "Katrina, do you know how to deliver a baby?"
K: "Um ... no."
C: "I'm ... the only one ... Owww!"
J: "Well, who's gonna deliver it then?!" ::suddenly, a pink pig pops into existence::
PPP: "Hi! I'm the Pink Personality Pig! I can help!"
OOCEm: ((Oh my God ...))
J: "Um ..." ::thinking 'Just go with it, Jake, weirder things have happened.':: "Do you know how to deliver babies?"
PPP: "Of course! It's in my Personality Piggy Banks."
T: "I got a question, when did our lives become so weird?"
M: "I think it started with the pen." ::frowns and sniffles:: "I miss that pen ..."
Mi: "He must have been nice, for you to have liked him so much, I-"
C: "I'll try to be as diplomatic as possible, but I'm having a BABY here!"
M: ::looks down at her:: "Oh, right."
PPP: "Okay, just breathe, you're doing fine."
C: "Oh, really? How would you know? You're a pig!"
PPP: ::turns even more pink:: "Well ... do you really want to know?"
All: ::everybody turns quiet, including Cassie, and stare at the pig::
PPP: "What?"
::ignores them::J: ::takes Cassie's hand just at a very bad contraction.::
PPP: "Okay Cassie, at the next one, I want you to push."
C: "Ahhh!" ::kid is born as Quan and Res come::
Q: ::looks down at Cassie in pain:: <Hurts, don't it?>
C: ::nods head weakly::
Q: <Don't worry. Around the 4th kid, you get used to it.>
J: ::ignores all but Cassie and the baby:: "It's a girl." ::kisses Cassie:: "She's beautiful, just like her mother."
R: "What are you going to name her?"
J: "Hmmm ... we could name her Penny?"
M: ::brightens:: "After the pen?" ::hopefully::
C: ::thoughtfully:: "Yeah, or we could name her Piggy ..."
PPP: ::turns even more pink:: "Well, I ..."
C: ::continuing:: "Because of the way her face scrunches up like that, she looks like a pig ..."
R: "No. She'll be scarred for life."
J: "True."
J,C: ::suddenly, both of their faces light up and they say the name at the same time:: "Hope!"
K: "Hope?"
C: "Yes, she is the first free human child to be born out here among the stars after the Yeerks were defeated ..."
M: ::muttering:: "Because we all know how much that happened before the Yeerks were defeated."
J ::ignores him:: "She is the hope for all of us ..."
M: ::giggles:: "A New Hope ..."
All H: ::all humans break into the Star Wars theme song. Now, back to the Andalites.::
Res: ::beaming:: <Hello, Aximili.>
A: ::glares at Resdent:: <What are you doing here?>
Res: <Taking care of the mother of my baby.>
A: ::sighs:: <Quan, I'm tired of doing this with you. Call me when you're ready to be my wife and a mother to our children.> ::turns to Jake and Cassie:: <Congratulations Prince Jake, Cassie.>
All: ::everyone stares at him.::
OOCEm: ((I was just getting extremely tired of all of it ... Think Ali would be proud?))
M: "Wow, he finally told her off." ::turns to Katrina, whispering:: "I think you owe me five bucks ..." ::there is a quiet rustling as money is exchanged all over the room::
OOCJe: ((No! Rewind!))
OOCEm: ((No, somebody had to tell Quan off, but if you really want you can have her tell Ax off ...))
OOCJe: ((Yes, that would be nice.))
Q: <I was drunk! And I wouldn't have to do anything if you would pay attention to me and our children! I mean, you shoved Zanlor off for training, underage! You don't care that Leehara and Clovis are missing and with the Yeerks! You pay no mind to Jaina's first love, and you hardly fight for your honor and freedom! You never do anything anyone asks you to! And don't you tell me I'm being a slut! You have had enough love affairs with Estrid, Delrassi, and who knows how many others! Killing my parents and siblings sure shows your love for me! So don't you blame me for our family problems!>
All: ::all humans exchange glances and there is more rustling::
K: ::to Marco:: "I believe you owe me some money now, dear."
A: <So, I've made mistakes, we all have! I admit that! And I've apologized over and over! What will it take to get you to forgive me?>
All: ::humans stop in mid-money-exchange::
Q: <What will it take? Bring my parents back. And my sister and brother. And Leehara, Clovis, Zanlor, and the dead child! Only then could I forgive you!> ::runs away tearfully, Res follows after looking at Ax triumphantly.::
Ja,B: ::suddenly, Jaina and Brian walk in, Jaina as human.::
Ja: "Hello Daddy! Where's Mother?"
A: ::looks down at her sadly:: <I don't know Jaina, I just don't know anymore!> ::said very dramatically, runs in opposite direction.::
Ja: ::looks around, confused:: "Did I miss something?"
B: ::takes her hand:: "I think so."
Ja: "Cousin Tobias, what's going on?"
T: ::takes Jaina's other hand:: "Your parents are having a little ... spat ..."
Ja: ::sighs:: "Again?"
T: "Afraid so." ::frowns and looks her up and down:: "Why are you in human morph?"
Ja: "Oh, I don't know. I just like it. I've been in this morph for awhile, though."
All: ::all slowly turn to look at her::
C: "Jaina .. how long?"
Ja: "I don't know. Why?" ::pauses:: "Iy."
T: "Jaina, with morphing there's a time limit of two hours. Did you go over the limit?" ::urgently::
Ja: "Um ... I think so. Why? What happens? Will Daddy be mad at me? I didn't mean to!"
T: ::kneels in front of her:: "Jaina, think hard, when did you morph human?"
Ja: ::frowns, thinking hard:: "When the sun was over there ..." ::points::
T: ::looks up to where she is pointing and hangs head:: "That was three hours ago ..."
All: ::everyone is silent::
T: ::quietly:: "I'm going to kill Ax and Quan, how could they not tell her about this?"
Ja: ::now frightened:: "Why, Cousin Tobias! What's going to happen to me?!?"
T: ::memories flood him:: "You ..." ::looks to Cassie for support::
C: "Jaina, do you know what the word nothlit means?"
Ja: "Um ... unchanging, I think."
C: "Well ... that's what you are, a nothlit. You're going to have to stay human for a long time ..."
Ja: ::fearful:: "How long?"
T: "I don't know, I can't guarantee that you'll ever get your morphing powers back. I didn't get mine back for a very long time ..."
Ja: ::teary eyed, looks up at him:: "This happened to you, Cousin Tobias?"
T: ::nods:: "Yes, right after the first battle we fought, I was trapped as a bird."
Ja: "Will it start to hurt or anything?"
T: "No, you'll still be Jaina, just in another body ..."
Ja: "How did you become human again?"
T: "Two ... people ... if you could call them that, gave me the power to morph while being human."
Ja: "Would they help me?"
OOCEm: ((I don't know, would we?))
T: "Well, they haven't been around in awhile, and one of them is far away now ... I don't know if they can."
OOCEm: ((Yes I can Tobias, all you have to do is say the word ...))
OOCJe: ((What word?))
OOCEm: ((The word ...))
Ja: ::starts to cry:: "Am I going to be human forever?"
T: ::hugs her:: "I don't know, Jaina, but your parents and the rest of us still love you."
Ja: "I want to be Andalite! I want Mommy and Daddy! I want Leehara and Clovis and Zanlor!"
B: ::comforts Jaina, hugging her::
T: ::also hugs her::
J: "I can't believe this happened again ..."
C: "I know." ::looks down at Hope and holds her tightly.::
PPP: ::squeals:: "Um, did I miss something?"
All: ::all look at the pig and realize he is still here!::
Mi: ::pokes him:: "I have this sudden craving for bacon ..."
PPP: ::squeals and backs away::
K: "How many do you think he'll feed?"
Ky: "I suppose there's only one way to find out ..."
All: ::everyone then ignores Mina, Katrina, and Kyle, who are eyeing the Pink Personality Pig hungrily.::
Ja: ::is crying still:: "I want my mom!"
T: ::sighs and silently curses Ax and Quan::
R: "I'll go find them."
T: ::looks at her and gives her a look that says: "Give them hell, Rachel."::
R: ::nods back and begins to morph bald eagle::
M: ::for some reason, Marco also morphs osprey and goes with her::
K: ::trying to be nice, walks up to Jaina:: "Here, honey, have some pork."
Ja: "How? My hoof ..." ::looks at Brian:: "... foot won't eat."
K: "You eat with your mouth."
T: "Do you think that's a good idea?"
K: ::looks at Jaina nervously, then down at the pork, the remains of the Pink Personality Pig:: "But I don't want to waste it. Cassie? Do you want some?"
C: ::shakes head and backs away, still holding Hope:: "No, I'm a vegetarian."
Ja: "Please can I have some, Cousin Tobias? Bi-us ... Tobias?"
T: ::smiles at her playing with words:: "Fine, just stop playing with your words."
Ja: "I am not playing. Ing." ::takes some pork:: "Would you like some, Brian?"
B: "Sure." ::accepts it:: "Ya know, I like you as a human."
Ja: ::smiles:: "Really?"
B: "Really."
T: ::exchanges knowing glances with Cassie.
Softly to Cassie:: "He's going to have a big part in helping her get through this."C: ::smiles:: "So will you."
OOCEm: ((Gee Jenni, thanks for stealing my notebook with all my Math homework in it! Leaving me here with no idea what page the homework was on!))
T: ::shrugs:: "Nobody else knows what it's like."
C: "Do you think Alf will help her like the other Ellimist helped you?"
T: "I don't know, that Ellimist helped me because he said I was important."
C: "But Jaina is important."
T: "To us maybe, but you never know with the Ellimists, they're fickle creatures ..."
Alf: ::pops in:: HEY!
Ja,B: "Ah!"
Alf: OH, SORRY, I ALWAYS SEEM TO SCARE THE LITTLE ONES.
Ja: ::hides behind Tobias.:: "What is it?"
B: ::hides behind ... uh ... Jaina.::
Alf: GOTTA GO. MY MOM'S CALLING ME. ::pops out::
A: ::comes back:: <Hey. Did I miss Alf? Hello, Jaina.> ::eyes darken.:: <Brian.>
T: ::narrows eyes::
"Ax! Where were you?"A: <Chasing after Quan, as usual, why?>
T: ::angry:: "Look at your daughter!"
A: ::glances at her:: <Jaina, why are you hiding behind Tobias?>
T: "Ah! Ax, that's not the point!"
A: <What is the point?>
T: "She's human, Ax! She's been that was for three hours, because someone didn't tell her about the time limit!"
A: ::puts tail to Tobias's throat:: <What? Are you suggesting she is a nothlit? A disgrace to this family like all nothlits?>
T: ::eyes harden and he glares at Ax:: "Gee Ax, I'm sorry I was such a disgrace to you for so many years. And I'm sorry that you're ashamed of your daughter because you were too busy wrapped up in yourself to warn her about the dangers!" ::is yelling now::
A: <I did when I sent her to the Academy! It is her own fault for not paying attention!>
Ja: "Daddy, will you tell Mother?"
A: ::switches tail to her throat:: <You will refrain from calling me that name! You are a disgrace, Jaina! You were never meant to be! I hereby disown you. You may go!>
Ja: "No, Daddy-"
B: "Get off her!" ::throws himself at Ax::
A: ::whips tail blade to his throat::
J: "Ax." ::steps up to him and glares:: "Leave them alone."
All: ::Cassie, Hope, Katrina, Kyle, and Mina are standing there, watching all this is shock. The remains of the Pink Personality Pig are forgotten.::
T: ::takes Jaina's hand:: "Let's go, guys."
All: ::they all join hands, except for Hope who is a baby, and walk out, leaving Ax behind::
Q: ::incidentally, they bump into Quan.::
<Hey, have you guys seen Ax?>Mi: "Unfortunately ..."
T: "Quan, Jaina is a human nothlit because you and Ax never bothered to warn her about the two hour limit!"
Q: <What? Yes I did!>
Ja: "Mother, I made Daddy mad ...
And he disowned me, and almost killed Brian!" ::bursts into tears:: "I'm sorry, Mother!"Q: <Oh, my baby ...> ::gathers her into her arms:: <It's okay, it's okay, it's not your fault ...>
Ja: "Daddy said it was ..."
Q: ::looks up at Tobias, privately:: "He did?"
T: ::nods::
Q: <Sweetie, that's because your daddy is what we like to call a 'jackass'.>
Ja: "Mother, I don't want you and Daddy mad over this ..."
Q: <I'm not mad sweetie, it'll be alright, you'll see ...>
B: ::leaves them, goes to Tobias:: "Um, sir-"
T: "Tobias."
B: "Tobias, I've been wondering ... why can't Jaina go back? To Andalite, I mean."
T: ::frowns, wondering if anybody ever told these kids anything.:: "When Jaina morphed to human, she was only allowed to stay that way for two hours. When she went past that time, she was stuck as human, no longer able to morph to anything, much less Andalite."
B: "Can't we do anything to help her? She loved her tail a lot."
T: "I'm afraid not." ::sadly::
B: ::hangs head:: "It's my fault. If I hadn't made out with Jaina, she wouldn't be stuck."
OOCEm: ((Um, rewind! They are only like, 12!))
T: "Um ..."
Ja: "... I think my stomach hurts ... At least I think it's my stomach."
B: "You're hungry."
K: "I knew she should have eaten the pork."
Ja: "I ate a little ... Well, not really."
Ky: "Here you go, I don't think the supply ever ends ..."
Mi: "That's what you get when you eat a magic pig ..."
Ja: ::bites into the pork:: "Wow! Ow! Oh! Oh! What? Wh!"
C: "It's called pork ..."
J: "At least she hasn't had any chocolate yet."
Ja: "Hmm-mm-mhm!"
B: ::staring:: "I think she wants more ..."
K: ::hesitantly gives her more::
J: "Hey, shouldn't Marco and Rachel be back by now?"
::as if on cue, a trumpet is heard. Suddenly, an elephant comes up, holding Ax high in her trunk. Marco is human, and riding on the back.::M: "Hey guys!"
Q: <Hello. I see you found Aximili.> ::coldly::
A: ::struggles:: <Let me go! I'll have you thrown in jail for this!> ::slashes wildly::
R: ::rolls her huge eyes:: <Sure, Ax ...>
T: ::chuckles:: "Rachel, didn't we tell you to be nice?"
R: <No.>
T: ::pauses:: "Oh well."
A: <Put me down!>
R: ::drops him::
A: <Ow ... pain ...> ::gets up::
Q: ::holds Jaina protectively::
A: ::glares at Quan:: <Oh, now don't tell me you're not upset about our daughter throwing herself at this boy and being a nothlit to stay with him.>
Q: <You're just afraid because your brother did the exact same thing.>
A: ::is taken aback::
OOCJe: ((Go Quan!))
OOCEm: ((Ha!))
T: "Wait, stop!"
All: ::everyone stops to look at him::
Ja: "I didn't want to be a nothlit! I just didn't know!"
B: "And Jaina isn't throwing herself at me! If you had paid attention to her, you might have noticed that!"
A: ::ignores Brian. To Quan:: <I am not! I hold my brother in high regards!>
Q: <Yes, but, you have to. I bet if Elfangor wasn't your brother, you would think he's nothing but a fool who was just like Seerow.>
A: ::turns pale, knowing Quan knows the truth.:: <No ... I ... No!> ::backs away from Quan, frightened::
OOCJe: ((Yes! Go Ali! Go Quan!))
Ja: "Who's Elfangor?"
All: ::everybody turns quiet and looks at Jaina::
T: "Elfangor was my father, a great Andalite warrior who gave up his Andalite life to live as a human and be with my mother."
Ja: ::quietly:: "Oh ..." ::is still confused:: "What happened to him?"
T: "He died, murdered by Visser Three, trying to give us the morphing power. He is also your uncle."
A: ::mutters:: <He wasn't a very good father ...>
Q: ::angry at Ax's remark:: <But he loved his family very much!>
A: ::hangs head in shame::
J: "So, he was a nothlit like me and Cousin Tobias?"
Q: <Yes.>
Ja: "But if Daddy likes Uncle Elfangor and he's still friends with Cousin Tobias, why doesn't he love me anymore?"
Q: <Sweetie, who said he didn't love you anymore?>
Ja: ::sniffles:: "He did ..."
Q: <Did he now?> ::angry::
OOCEm: ((So tired, no ink left ...))
OOCJe: ((Wow, Ax is becoming a wimp lately ...))
Ja: "Yes."
A: <I said nothing of the sort!>
PR: <Aximili! How could you be so cruel?>
A: ::whirls around:: <When did you get here? No, it doesn't matter, you have no right to intervene in the affairs of my family!>
PR: <It won't be your family for long. Quantana and I are getting married!>
OOCJe: ((Quan never agreed to that.))
PR: <I shall love her always, and care for all her children, regardless of any prejudices you might hold against them!>
A: ::stops, shocked:: <Married?!?>
OOCEm: ((Married?!?))
Q: ::glances at Resdent:: <Married?>
OOCJe: ((Yes! Married.))
PR: <Yes! Married!>
Q: <Did you ever think of asking me?>
PR: <We are betrothed. Andalite laws demands we be married.>
Q: <Resdent, stop. I'm already married. I have children with Aximili, and, as evil as he is at times, I still love him!>
All H: "Awww ..."
::all look at Ax expectantly::OOCJe: ((And I shall not sim further until Ali sims ... for real, too!))
A: <What?!> ::pause:: <Oh. I love you too, Quantana.>
All: ::look at him sadly::
A: <What? I meant it!>
PR: ::turns to Quan:: I promise that I will love you til the ends of time. I will never leave you or cheat on you. I shall protect you always, and save you children and love them as my own. I will grant you anything you want. Will you marry me?>
Q: ::looks to Ax::
A: ::hangs head and turns away, knowing his love will never be his again::
Q: ::softly:: <Resdent, I can't just leave Aximili.>
PR: ::looks shocked:: <You are going to dishonor your family and mine?>
Q: <Never will I dishonor my family! But I don't love you. And I know I love Aximili, even though I'm angry right now.>
PR: <Quantana, think of your children. Your family's already dead from him. How long will it be before he takes the rest of your children's lives?>
OOCJe: ((Kids ... Leehara, Clovis ... Zanlor ... NO WHERE TO BE FOUND!!!))
A: ::puts tail to throat:: <I will never do such a thing! You hear me?! I love my children! It is upon my honor and duty I love and protect them from anything and anyone.> ::applies more force:: <And I will never let anything happen to my wife.> ::coldly::

Ja: ::shakes head and goes over to Tobias:: "Cousin Tobias?"
T: ::looks from Ax and Res, who are still arguing over Quan, to Jaina:: "What is it, Jaina?"
Ja: "Well, I'm not sure if it's very important, but what are those ships over there?" ::points to a dozen Yeerk ships landing::
T: "Oh no ..."
OOCJe: ((Thank you! There's Lee and Clovy!))
Mi: "Oh, that's not good ..."
R: "Guys, morph!"
C: "I can't! Hope!"
J: "Cassie, Mina, Jaina, Brain, stay back and behind us!"
R: ::begins to morph grizzley::
OOCAl: ((Add grizzly to the list. So far, that's:
Keep up the good work, Jenni :) ))
OOCJe: ((Shut up and sim! :-P))
OOCEm: ((Hehehehe, banklet Jenni? Banklets? Ya know, Mina still can't morph!))
A,PR: ::Ax and Resdent are still arguing over Quan!::
J: ::morphs tiger:: <Cassie, get Hope out of here! Take Mina, Jaina, and Brian with you!>
Ja: "No! I'm not going ... Leehara and Clovis are on that ship ..."
T: "All the more reason for you to get out of here!" ::begins to morph::
Ja: "But ..."
B: ::pulls Jaina's arm:: "Come on!" ::they go with Cassie and Mina::
Q: <Are Leehara and Clovis with them?>
J: <We'll find out soon enough.> ::suddenly, the doors open, revealing a lot, a lot, and even more lots of Hork-Bajir.::
M: <We can't fight this many!>
K: <Definitely need back-up, Jake!>
J: <Mina! Go grab any Andalites you can find and tell them we need help!>
Mi: ::runs off as fast as she can::
R: <What do we do til then?>
M: <Pray to God they burst into flames?>
HB: ::charge out of the dozen ships::
J: <Go!>
All: ::assuming that everyone is morphed by now ... except for maybe Ax and Resdent who are still arguing, they attack the Hork-Bajir troops::
OOCEm: ((You know who else is on my list?))
OOCJe: ((::sighs:: No, Emily. Who?))
All: ::the Animorphs are injured badly, and losing ground fast. Even with the help of Ax and Res, they cannot hold back the swarming masses of Hork-Bajir. Screams are in the air, then ... the Andalites! Lots and a lot and more lots of Andalite! They join the fray and turn the tide of the battle led by a beautiful female::
Q: ::meanwhile, Quan has left the battle to go into one of the ship:: <Leehara? Clovis? Are you here?>
OOCEm: ((Yeah, that's brilliant, why doesn't she just paint herself red and yell, "Lick me, all of you!"?))
OOCJe: ((WHAT?!?!))
Q: ::suddenly dumps bright red paint on herself and marches into the ship, yelling ...:: <Lick me! All of YOU!!!>
OOCJe: ((
NO!!!))All: ::rewind::
Q: ::morphs to ... something small ... um, fly! And flies into the bridge muttering:: <Lick me, all of you ...>
OOCEm: ((Oh, poor Carter ... can't sim and watch ER at the same time!))
OOCJe: ((Get off the licking!))
Q: ::when she gets to the bridge, she sees a central chair, in which sits someone she cannot yet see. Flanking it is Leehara and Clovis.::
OOCJe: ((Hehehe ... enter Visser Eight. Anybody remember who it is?))
OOCAl: ((I have no pencil. Sean took mine. So I'm writing in crayon. Math should be fun.))
OOCAl: ((No, Jenni, I do not.))
V8: "Fool! You must keep your control, Leehara!"
L: <Yes, Visser Eight. Forgive me.>
V8: ::Visser Eight turns and reveals ... a young, blonde-haired human girl with glasses.::
OOCJe: ((Anybody know yet?))
OOCEm: ((Jennifer Eileen *********! The simming is annoying enough at times without your sister! When are we killing her?))
OOCJe: ((I thought you bear could use a snack.))
OOCAl: ((That bear needs a name ...))
OOCJe: ((Yes, he does. Alright! I have nothing to write her, so back to the battle.))
All: ::outside, there is chaos.::
OOCEm: ((Oh man, remember the last time we wrote that line?))
C: ::having put Hope somewhere safe, has stumbled onto the battle field::
RandomHB: "Help!
Please, someone!"C: ::kneels beside the fallen HB:: "It's okay, you'll be fine."
RHB: "No ... it's too late ... Grant me a favor ..."
C: "Anything!"
RHB: ::points:: "Tell the bee I love him ..." ::dies pointing at the giant bee::
C: ::glances at the bee:: "Ummm ........"
OOCJe: ((Just had to write it. Okay Ali, do your love scene.))((Fine, don't write. See if I care.))
Res: ::fights beside the beautiful Andalite commander::
All H: ::have had cover with the Andalites, so they have re-morphed and are healed. They go into battle again.::
Ky: ::unfortunately, Kyle did not have time to morph. A Hork-Bajir that has broken through enemy lines is going for Mina.:: "NOOO!" ::jumps in front of a blade that would have killed Mina, taking the blow::
Mi: "KYLE!!!!!"
Ky: ::touches his chest and pulls it away, seeing blood, staring at it disbelievingly. Then, he falls backwards into Mina's arms, pulling her down with him::
Mi: "Kyle, no!" ::presses her hands to his chest, trying to stop the gushing blood:: "God, no! Kyle!"
Ky: "Mina ... you have to go ..."
Mi: "No! I won't leave you!"
Ky: "It's too late ... too late for me." ::touches her tear-stained cheek:: "Our destinies must part now, my sweetling."
Mi: ::shaking her head, crying:: "No!" ::pushes his long dark locks of hair out of his face and kisses him, long and tenderly::
Ky: "I'll always love you, Mina. You'll always be my lucky star." ::takes one of her bloody hands, the one with her engagement ring, and brings it to his lips shakily, kissing the ring. Then he drops her hand back, and closes his eyes, unconscious, but alive. On his lower lip is a dot of blood, the shape of the heart.::
Mi: "Kyle ... Kyle!" ::holds his hand to her cheeks, but it falls. She thinks her love, the only one who truly loved her is dead. She looks to the alien sky and screams in love, rage, and immense grief, the meaningless battle raging around her::
OOCJe: ((So. What do you guys think?))
OOCEm: ((I think you just took up like 4 pages for a dramatic love scene ... I'm so proud ... Nicole would be too ... And don't worry, I will top you ...))
Mi: ::Mina's scream echoes throughout the battle field, causing everyone to stop in mid-fight::
Mi: ::shouts at them:: "See what you have done! See where this pointless war has gotten you!? You have killed the only one who has ever loved me!" ::as if on cue, it begins to rain, soaking them all::
Mi: ::pushes wet hair out of her eyes:: "You should all be ashamed! He never hurt anyone!" ::gestures at Kyle, who is lying at her feet in a pool of blood:: "He only loved! That's all he did."
All: ::slowly, the Yeerks and the combined human/Andalite army move apart and Katrina approaches::
K: ::tearfully:: "Kyle ... my twin brother ..." ::looks up at Mina:: "Mina ..." ::hugs her tightly.
Mina and Katrina cry in each others arms for the lover and brother who "died" loving, like he lived.::C: ::examining Kyle:: "Guys! He's not dead!"
K,Mi: ::stop crying and look at him::
K: "He's not?"
C: "No, but he will be if we don't get him out of the rain."
Mi: ::runs to Kyle and grabs him:: "Pick him up! Go! Don't you let him die!"
A: ::sneaks onto the ship and morphs fly:: <Quan?> ::Ax has, apparently, decided that he wants Quan back::
Q: ::is hidden, watching Lee and Clovis:: <Ax?>
OOCEm: ((Oh ... I ... Mulder! Scully's pregnant ... uff ... sith ... grr ... evil CC! Can't talk, so pissed!))
A: ::flies up behind her and sees Lee and Clovis:: <Who's the new Visser?>
Q: <A human girl. Why this Yeerk stays with such a week host, I have no idea.>
OOCAl: ((Jenni, dear, you have the wrong weak. Not week.))
A: <Hast du eine Kuli? Ich habe keine Kuli.>
Q: <Ax, focus. What do pens have to do with anything? C'mon, how do we get our kids back?>
OOCEm: ((Okay! A: Why is Ax talking in German? And 2: I cannot believe the X-files did that to me! Grrr ...))
A: <Ummm ... We get the others and attack?>
Q: <Okay.> ::they go outside, and see the battle has just ... stopped.::
A: <Oh man! And I wanted to fight!> ::stomps hoof in anger::
::they are magically demorphed::A,Q: ::walk over to the female commander::
A: <Commander, there are two Andalite Controllers aboard that ship. We must attack and free them!>
OOCEm: ((What's her name?))
OOCJe: ((Eyzita-Robursko-Fehlen.))
OOCEm: ((Ummm ... okay ...))
Eyz: <But ... the battle's over ...>
Q: ::looks around:: <What happened?>
Eyz: <I'm not sure, exactly.
Some girl got up and started yelling ...>A,Q: ::exchange glances::
A: <Did she by any chance have blonde hair?>
Eyz: <No, the blonde is over there. This one was a brunette.>
Q: <Mina?>
Eyz: <I suppose. She and the black-haired girl and the red-haired girl carried a wounded male off the field. He had long brown hair.>
A: <Kyle's hurt?>
Q: <Again?>
Eyz: <I suppose. But you say we must attack?>
Q: <Yes.>
Eyz: <Then we shall.>
OOCJe: ((Apples, bananas, (surprise, surprise) coconuts, dingo, elephants, Fox Mulder (who should really get together with Scully), grasshoppers, humble prayers, ice cream, Jenni (cuz I'm a hobby), Kyle (because he has long dark hair like Blair), lovin', Mufasa Mangos, nuts (specifically Daphnuts), orangutans, pe-pe, quarkels, raisins, Spike, truffle thong soup, Uranus, Venus, Wookie Cookies, Xander, yodel-lay-he-who, and Zelda!))
OOCEm: ((Of course no one has any idea what you're listing except for me, you, Ali and Daphne and Sarah ...! Damn! You had to mention Mulder and Scully didn't you?))
Res: ::runs up:: <Eyzita!>
Eyz: ::smiles:: <Yes, Resdent?>
Q: <Resdent?>
Res: <Quan? Ax?>
Eyz: <Well, now that we know who everybody is ...>
OOCEm: ((Fine then Jenni, I'll just be abrupt ...))
Res: ::turns to Eyzita and throws his arms around her:: <Eyzita! My love! Alas! You have returned!>
OOCJe: ((Think I'll see if Ali wants to work with it.))
OOCAl: ((Okay! Oh, Jenni, it's Xena Xerox copies! And Egzita is spelleg with a "g", not a "y".))
Egz: <Yes, Ressy, I am here!> ::hugs him tight:: <I thought I'd never see you again! I thought you would marry your betrothed, Quantana.>
Res: <No. She is married to Aximili.>
Egz: ::nods:: <Yes, they deserve each other. I knew they'd be together ever since school.>
A: ::smiles and bends down to kiss Quan.::
OOCJe: ((Sorry. Way to spell 'spelled' wrong. Kiss with their non-existent lips.))
A: ::walks up to Quan and hugs her tightly from behind:: <I love you, Quantana, and I will never let you go.>
Q: ::snuggles up to him and lays her head on the front of his shoulder and sighs::
<I love you too, Aximili.>Egz: <Now, let's go save those Andalites!>
A,Q,Res: <Yeah!>
All: ::all charge into ship::
V8: ::is-::
OOCJe: ((Hey! V8 Splash! Cool!))
V8: ::anyway, stands and turns:: <Andalites! Leehara, Clovis, attack!>
Q: ::flips tail blade through V8's neck, killing her.::
OOCEm: ((Ya know, Daphne keeps killing all our Vissers ... yeah well ...))
OOCJe: ((What's up with that?))
L,Cl: ::attack the four Andalites::
Q: ::hesitates:: ::privately:: <Aximili, we can't kill our own children!>
A: <You can't, but I can.> ::attacks::
OOCJe: ((NO!))
Q: ::only fights in defense:: <Aximili, no!>
Egz,Res: ::so do they::
OOCJe: ((No one simming ...))
All: ::since the Hork-Bajir are still outside, the grown Andalites easily overpower the children.::
Res: <So now what do we do with them?>
OOCJe: ((20 pages til 666, guys.))
OOCEm: ((Evilness ....))
Q: <We are going to tie them up for three days, and keep them tied up this time.>
OOCEm: ((Ummm ... Jenni? You alright?))
OOCJe: ((Yeah, Heather just pisses me off.))
Egz: <A good plan.>
A,Q: <Quan picks up Leehara and Ax picks up Clovis and they all go outside, where the Hork-Bajir have been taken away.::
OOCJe: ((Why were they there in the first place?))
J: ::walking up to them with Rachel, Tobias, and Marco.:: "Hey guys. You can take them to the med faculty. The girls are taking care of Kyle there, and Melissa's watching the kids."
A: <We must hurry. The children shall awaken soon.> ::they all proceed to go to the medical faculty.::
K: "Hey Melissa, do you have Jeremy?"
Mel: "Yeah, he's right here." ::she proceeds to distribute the numerous children to their various parents::
OOCEm: ((Grrr ... can't believe they took Mulder! Bastards ... must stop thinking about X-files!))
T: "Where's Kyle and the other girls?"
Mel: "In the ER."
OOCJe: ((Heh.))
OOCEm: ((So you're saying that I should start thinking about ER? Hmmm ... I am happy that Carol went to go be with Doug ... Excuse me ... ::slams head on desk repeating:: This is not happening, this is not happening ...))
R: "What happened to Kyle this time?"
Mel: "His chest. They said it was real bad this time."
K: ::bites lip and inhales, feeling her twin's pain:: "How bad?"
Mel: "I don't know. They were running, and I heard him cry out-"
K: ::breaks into a run, all following her, and enters to see Mina crying and Cassie comforting her.::
K: "Is he ..."
C: ::shakes her head:: "No."
K: "Well, then what is it?"
Mi: "He's ... he's ..." ::sniffle::
C: "He's paralyzed."
K: ::scrunches up face:: "Paralyzed, how?"
Ky: ::wheeling in on a wheelchair, chest is bandaged up:: "From my waist down."
K: ::gasp:: "Kyle ..."
Ky: ::smiles faintly:: "Hi, Katrina."
K: ::smiles back, just as faintly, feeling his pain:: "How're you feeling, big brother?"
Ky: "What, this? Just a flesh wound. I should be jumping hurdles in no time." ::laughs falsely::
OOCJe: ((Ya know, Kyle has brown hair and I think Kat has red ... how'd that happen?))
Ky: "My upper arm strength should be greatly improved from this." ::continuing to smile falsely, wheels over to Mina.:: "Hey, Mi-Mi. You okay?"
Mi: ::eyes are red, whispering:: "I thought you were dead ... you saved my life and gave up your ability to walk. Kyle, I'm-"
Ky: "No, Mina. Don't talk about it. Don't think about it."
Mi: "But, how can I?! You can't even stand up! You can't go up stairs, or run, or anything!" ::all the others have quietly left, only Katrina stays by the door:: "It's my fault, Kyle!"
Ky: ::shaking his head, curls bouncing:: "You're wrong, Mina. It's not your fault."
Mi: "I should have stayed back, and out of the way! But I wanted to help you, to see if you were alright and ... and look what's happened."
Ky: "Mina, I love you. Once we're married, I will vow to protect you. But I've already made that vow, in my heart. If you would have died ... I don't know what I would do."
Mi: "You shouldn't have to protect me from my mistakes. You shouldn't have to be hurt because of my weakness." ::Takes deep breath:: "So, I've decided to pick up the weapon and fight. I'm going to receive the morphing power. Then I'm going to make them pay for what they've done." ::Mina's eyes are hard, staring beyond Kyle's head, remembering things he cannot reach within her soul.::
OOCJe: ((Wow. What's with me lately? Where is all this love material coming from? Hmm.))
OOCAl: ((Your fantasies with Jay?))
An: ::That was sweet. Now to the Yeerkish family reunion. Quan is sitting in a room with Lee and Clovis, Jaina and Brian. Ax arrives with Zanlor.::
Z: <Mother!> ::Rushes to her and hugs her:: <Mother, who are the humans?>
Q: ::suddenly realizing her little girl's fate, chokes back her tears.:: <Honey, the female is your sister, Jaina, and the male is her friend, Brian.>
A: ::nods at Brian, seeing his wife's tears.:: <Brian, could you leave us for a moment, please?> ::privately::
B: ::shrugs:: "Sure." ::leaves::
Ja: "Brian?! Where are you going?" ::goes after him::
Q: ::seeing that her little Jaina's gone, she burst into tears::
A: ::rubs her back:: <It's okay, it's going to be all right. We'll make her Andalite again.>
Cl: ::snickers:: <Foolish Andalites! You know as well as my host does that she will never be the same!>
Q: ::hearing this, cries harder::
A: ::in fatherly instinct, he gives a swift kick to the cage, causing the bars to clang.::
Z: ::about to cry, also.:: <Mother? Is-is Jaya still my sister? And wh-what's wrong with Lee and Clovy? Are they going to die like the rest of my Controller family?>
A: ::takes over because Quan is now uncontrollable:: <No, son. They're in there until the Yeerk dies in ...?>
Z: ::brightens because he knows the answer:: <Three days!>
A: <Right!> ::ruffles the fur on his head between the stalk eyes:: <Now run along, you have to have lunch.>
Z: ::runs off::
A: ::goes over to Quan, who throws her arms around his neck. Ax wraps his arms around her waist as she buries her head in his neck.:: <Shhhh. It's okay.>
OOCJe: ((Yay!))
Q: <What have we done, Aximili? What have we done that is so horrible that our family must be punished again and again?>
L: <You left your pitiful planet, Andalite. You never should have gone into space.>
Cl: <Yet you did. And in the process, you set the glorious Yeerks free to conquer the galaxy!>
A: ::feels a pang of guilt because for them to stay together, Quan had to leave the best academy in the Andalite academy ground base. As remembering this, he holds Quan closer and tighter.::
OOCEm: ((Thanks so much for letting me write people, ...))
Q: ::looks up at her children:: <You can't win, the Yeerks are already losing. And in three days you will die.> ::leaves the room in tears.::
OOCEm: ((Okay, this reunion has been lovely and all, but it's ending. Jenni, stop talking about Blair and do not make him pop into existence, and while you're at it, stop singing the alphabet song!))

M: "How are you feeling?"
Ky: ::shrugs:: "I've been better."
Mi: "Do you have it, Jake?"
J: ::nods and holds up the blue box.::
"We need an Andalite with the morphing power to give it to you."OOCJe: ((Hey, can Zanlor morph?))

A: ::comes up behind him:: <Woah, Zanlor. Calm down. Maybe you should let someone more experienced do this.> ::whispers:: <Your mother really wants to. So why don't you give her a turn, okay?>
Z: <Alright, Father!>
A: <That-a-boy.> ::ruffles his fur.::
Q: ::stepping up slowly:: <Are you sure this is what you want, Mina?>
Mi: "Yes."
Q: ::takes the box from Jake.:: <Then place your hand on the box.>
J,R,T,C,M: ::as she does, the original five Animorphs are reminded of the night they met Elfangor and made the decision to change their lives forever.::
Mi: ::as she does, the box changes color, and becomes lighter and lighter. Mina feels a pleasant tingling sensation running up her arm and all throughout her body.::
Q: <It is done.> ::Mina removes her hand.:: <You now have the gifts of the Andalites.>
T: ::softly:: "And the curse."
All: ::everyone is quiet for a moment, lost in memories.::

All: ::they pass many weird animals and a couple of chadoos.::
C: "We already have chadoos, right? Or did we work with them?> ::she turns her gaze to a couple cages down, she hears two voices.::

J: "Those sound like human voices!"
Q: <Uh-oh ...>
T: "What uh-oh?"
Q: <Nothing, nothing to see over here, move along .>
Mi: "Hey, who are those people?" ::points::
M: "It looks like Amelia Earhart and Da Vinci. C'mon, let's go see something interesting."
AE: "No! Wait! I have to finish my record! Take me with you! I was flying my plane, when all of a sudden, I was knocked unconscious, and then I was on a ship with these Andalites! They beat me and put me into this cage ever since! And every year we get a shot to keep us alive."
DV: "Yesha. I wasa herea longer. Amelia taughta me Englisha."

Z: <Father? Why aren't the other humans in cages.?>
A: <They morph, Zanlor, and are our friends.>
Z: <Oh yeah.>
M: "Thanks for your mercy, Ax."
A: <You're welcome.>

M: ::groans:: "Good job, Cassie."
C: ::steps back:: "It's not my fault!"
T: "Now, amidst all our other problems, we have to take care of some crazed lunatics?"
R: "No big deal, we do it everyday with Marco."
OOCEm: ((I have decided I didn't like that line ... ::rewind::))
R: "It's no big deal really, Katrina takes care of Marco just fine."
M: "Hey! I-" ::is cut off as he burps loudly.::
K: ::rubs his back soothingly:: "It's okay, dear ..."
OOCEm: ((Pure insanity ... I'm tellin' ya ... I think Nicole would be proud ...))

Q,A: ::start running, chasing after the crazed Earhart and Da Vinci.::
Q: <They're so fast! What do we do? We can't let them reach a city with those shredders!>
A: <Well I know you're not going to chase them.>
Q: <And why not?!>
A: <Because you're pregnant?>
Q: <Oh yeah. I forgot. The feeling's so natural.>
OOCEm: ((Yeah, Quan is like the most fertile Andalite ever! Now ... where in nine hells did Amelia Earhart and Da Vinci get shredders while in a cage? Nine hells, hmm ... I think I've been reading too many Drizzt books ...))
AE,DV: ::run screaming:: "For NEVADA!!!"
OOCJe: ((Definitely crazy.))
A: ::runs after them, seemingly alone, but Zanlor runs and catches up ... with Jaina on his back!:: <Jaina, get off! You'll hurt him!>

A: <I don't think so! You're not getting the rest of my children trapped as a nothlit! Now get out of here, both of you, before you get shot!>
Ja: ::confused:: "Is someone shooting at us?"
A: ::ducks:: <Well, duh ...>
Ja: "Oh." ::glances around.:: "I see, come on Zanlor."
Z: ::gallops off::
A: ::takes cover behind a boulder, just escaping a shredder shot.:: <Damn!> ::puts out his shredder from the sling around his shoulder.:: <Have to have a long talk with Cassie-> ::looks out from behind the boulder and fires with perfect accuracy. Earhart cries out, and the firing stops.::
OOCEm: ((Jenni, did you just kill Amelia Earhart?))
OOCJe: ((No ... ::pause:: Yes ... ::pause:: Maybe ...))
OOCEm: ((Psycho ... yes ...))
All: ::all crowd around Amelia::
J: "Oh my God. We killed Amelia Earhart!"
M: "Yeah, we're bastards."
Mi: "Yeah ... we're going to hell, aren't we?"
C: "Oh yeah."
All: ::they all walk away::
OOCEm: ((That was a little tribute to me and my brother ...))
All: ::they all get various new morphs and head back to the hospital because I've decided it's nighttime, and over 600 and 60 pages, they need some sleep, can you work with that Jenni?::
::no, I can't! Mina has to morph! And she'll morph ... hey, what happened to Da Vinci?::
::who cares? Ya know, we're doing it again ...::
::so?::
::sigh, this is really going to confuse anybody else who reads this.::
::the next morning, everyone wakes up from the first nap they've had in over 600 pages, Jenni?::
::thanks for the great intro. Um ... oh!::
Ky: ::lies there for awhile, then:: "Guys? Anyone? I need some help."
OOCEm: ((Yes, reverting back to OOC ... heh, I could do something really bad here ... but I think that both you and Nicole would kill me, so ...))
Mi: ::rolls over and sees Kyle:: "Hi ..."
Ky: ::frowns:: "Hi. What are you doing here?"
Mi: ::shrugs and snuggles up to him:: "Sleeping, silly. You looked so lonely, and I was tired. Have you seen the beds they gave us?"
OOCEm: ((I decided against it, just sleeping ...))
OOCJe: ((You evil, evil person!))
Mi: "It got kind of cold, and I was a little nervous ... I hope you don't mind."
OOCEm: ((What? They were just sleeping!))
Ky: "I don't mind." ::leans his head against her:: "It's nice to see you first thing in the morning." ::takes her hand and kisses it.::
Mi: ::smiles faintly:: "I love you, you know that right?"
Ky: "I know." ::kisses her softly:: "I love you too."
OOCEm: ((What is this sappy mood I'm in today?))
Mi: ::wrinkles her forehead and smiles, shaking her head slightly.::
Ky: "What?"
Mi: "I had the weirdest dream ... something about Amelia Earhart and Da Vinci in a zoo ..."
Ky: "It wasn't a dream. But, um, could you help me get into my wheelchair?"
Mi: ::feels guilt, but nods and jumps up to help.::
OOCJe: ((One page to evilness.))
OOCEm: ((Yup ...))
Ky: "Thanks ..."
Mi: "You're welcome, come on, let's go see if they have anything to eat but grass ..."
OOCEm: ((Wait, did they sleep that time Quan made all the food?))
OOCJe: ((Hey, yeah!))
Ky,Mi: ::they walk out of the room and see ... Quan lying down.::
OOCJe: ((Hehehe.))
Q: <Owww!> ::Resdent is there, but only for support. Ax is holding Quan's hand.::
OOCEm: ((Umm ... did I miss something?))
Ky: ::glances at Mina:: "Did we miss something?"
Mi: "I think so." ::to Ax and Quan:: "What's going on?"
A: <She's having a baby, duh!>
OOCEm: ((It hasn't been a month!))
Ky: ::frowns:: "Has it been a month already?"
Q: <I'm thinking so ... OW!>
::the child is born.::
OOCEm: ((Great timing Jenni, do you want this kid to be evil?))
R,T,J,M,K,C: ::all rush to the door, falling over each other in the process.::

A,Q: <What?!>
Res: <I'm the father. The child belongs to me now.>

Res: ::glares at her:: <You wouldn't dare.>
Q: ::Blade presses in:: <That's what you think.>
All: ::alright, let's leave our readers handing in the suspense of the moment, and move on to the humans.::
All: ::all the couples are walking hand in hand::
C: "Do you think we'll ever get home?"
J: ::sighs:: "Not for a while. There's so many who need our help our there."
M: "But we've saved Earth. Haven't we fulfilled our part of the bargain?"
R: "As long as the Yeerks are out there, we have to keep fighting!"
K: "Yeah, they'll eventually find a way to steal humans of Earth or something."
Mi: "But do we have to dedicate our lives to holding the Yeerks back?"
T: "If we must."
Ky: "The Yeerks must go back to their planet. Our worlds aren't safe until they do."
C: "We have to keep fighting." ::sighs::
M: "Yeah. For our kids."
R: "For their future." ::rubs her belly::
J: "Speaking of kids, let's go see Leehara and Clovis. I think Jaina and Brian are with them."
All: ::they all proceed to the ... hey, where are they at anyway? Oh well, wherever Clovis and Leehara are.::
T: ::opens the door and peeks head inside:: "Jaina?"
Ja: ::looks up and smiles faintly.:: "Cousin Tobias, hey."
T: "Hey." ::comes in with the rest of them:: "How are they?" ::gestures at Clovis and Leehara, who are untied and sleeping::
K: "And why are they untied?"
Ja: ::smiles and takes her twin sister's hand:: "They are free."
B: ::comes in, holding two cups of some kind of liquid.:: "Hey."
J: "Hey."
R: "Hey."
T: "Hey."
C: "Hey."
M: "Hey."
K: "Hey."
Ky: "Hey."
Mi: "Hey."
Ja: ::smiles:: "Hi, Brian." ::takes one of the cups:: "Thank you." ::sips it:: "Wow!" ::gulps the rest down::
T: ::concerned for his cousin:: "What is that?"
B: "The Andalite who gave it to me-his name was Hispen-said it was Vincin. He gave us a lot of it."
J: "Hispen!"
C: "Isn't Vincin like vodka?"
All: "Shit!"
T: "What if he poisoned them?!"
K: "How much did you two have?"
B: "Um ... only a cup or two ..."
Ja: "Or six ..."
C: "Six?"
T: "Six!"
Ja: "Yeah." ::begins to sway unsteadily:: "And I ... I don't feel too good ..." ::faints, Tobias catches her::
T: ::checks her eyes and picks her up:: "Jaina? Jaina!"
B: ::looks down at the cup, then at the floor that suddenly rushed up to see him.::
M: ::picks him up:: "We've got to get them to the hospital!"
K: "We are in the hospital!"
M: ::pauses and looks around:: "Oh ... well, then get a doctor!"
Kaia: ::appearing in doorway: "I am a doctor!"
K: "Mom, you're still here?"
Ka: "I came back. Loren came with me."
T: "Mom?"
Mi: "Loren?"
T,Mi: "Where?"
Ka: "Well, we went to Ax's family's scoop to look for you guys." ::frowns:: "And Loren saw some tree and got all misty-eyed. I left her there to talk to Noorlin and Forlay."
T: "That won't go over well ..." ::glances down at Jaina and holds her out to Kaia.:: "But, moving along, we think Jaina and Brian have been poisoned."
Ka: ::looks down:: "Who's Brian? That's not Jaina."
M: ::holds up Brian:: "This is Brian."
K: "And Jaina got trapped as human. We need you to help her, Mom."
Ky: ::who is hidden behind the crowd, softly:: "Mom?"
J,R,T,C,M,K: ::all exchange glances and step aside to reveal Kyle, who is gripping Mina's hand tightly.::
Ky: ::in a choked voice:: "Mom ...?"
Ka: ::bites her lip and looks from Katrina to Kyle:: "Oh, God ..."
K: ::steps back slowly and takes Kyle's other hand.:: "Kyle, this is our mother."
Ky: ::nods dully:: "I kind of had that part figured out."
Ka: ::comes over to the two of them and crouches in front of Kyle.:: "Kyle ... my baby. I thought you were dead."
Ky: ::coughs, voice breaking:: "I almost was ... when Kat found me ... and now ..." ::gestures at wheelchair::
Ka: ::tearfully:: "I'm sorry Kyle ... I'm sorry ..." ::hugs him tightly:: "But I won't leave you again."
Ky: ::hugs her back, unable to speak.::
Ka: ::draws away and notices Mina, who is still standing protectively by Kyle.:: "Who's this?"
Ky: ::reaches out and takes Mina's hand.:: "Mom, meet Mina Chapman ... my fiancé."
Ka: "You're getting married?"
OOCEm: ((::sigh:: So predictable ...))
Ky: "Yes."
OOCEm: ((There, see how it feels.))
Mi: "Hello."
OOCJe: ((Hah!))
OOCEm: ((Jackass, sim more.))
T: ::glances around and sighs, muttering.:: "Every time, every damn time ..." ::shifts, holding Jaina:: "You know, as lovely as all this is, my cousin has been poisoned ..."
Ka: "Oh ... yes. Come this way."
All: ::follow, Tobias holding Jaina, Marco holding Brian, Katrina pushing Kyle.::
Ka: "What kind of poison was it? How much did they have?"
T: "We don't know, we think somebody put it in their drink. Jaina had six cups, Brian had two."
Ka: ::reaches two gurneys.:: "Put them there."
OOCJe: ((See, I do learn stuff from TV.))
OOCEm: ((I know! So do I! I've learned all this medical stuff from ER and all this scientific stuff from the X-files and a little from Sliders.))
Ka: ::wheeling them in:: "Push five of morphine, IV drip."
OOCEm: ((Hmm ... Either I just saved 'em or killed 'em ... hmm ...))
Ka: ::taking charge of the chaos and the scurrying doctors.:: "We've got to pump their stomachs, I think ..." ::they proceed to do so and lets fast forward to the end of this medical scene.::
Ka: ::walks up to Tobias:: "They'll be okay. Um ... where are their parents?"
T: ::sighs and strokes sleeping Jaina's hair:: "Don't ask."
Ja: ::wakes up slowly:: "What ... what happened?"
T: "You were poisoned by Hispen-"
Ja: "Brian, where's Brian?!"
T: "He's in another room, he's okay."
Ja: ::lies back down:: "Have we caught Hispen yet?"
T: "No. We're looking for him."
Ja: "Is my family alright? I want to see them."
T: ::hesitates:: "I'll go get Clovis and Leehara if you want."
Ja: ::frowns:: "What about Mother and Daddy and Zanlor?"
T: "They're busy attending to your newest sibling."
Ja: ::groans:: "Oh, not another one ... What is it this time?"
T: "It's another boy. Last I knew, they were trying to name him."
Ja: ::sighs:: "Well, at least Daddy will be happy for awhile. Can I see Leehara and Clovis?"
T: "Sure." ::leaves::
Ja: <Brian, if you can hear me, I'm okay. Cousin Tobias says you are, too. I'll try to get to your room, soon.>
T: ::comes in with Lee and Clov::
OOCEm: ((Magically.))
L: ::smiles faintly and comes over to take her twin's hand.:: <Hey ... what happened to you?>
Ja: "Poison."
L: ::shakes head:: <I'm sorry.>
Ja: "Don't be, it wasn't you."
OOCEm: ((I'm thinking that everyone is in another room since they only let family in as visitors.))
Cl: ::takes Leehara's hand, but is still watching Jaina.:: <Why are you human?>
OOCJe: ((No, they're looking for Hispen.))
Ja: "Didn't anyone tell you?"
Cl: <No.>
Ja: ::sighs:: "I'm trapped ... a nothlit."
L: <Oh, Jaina!>
Cl: <How horrible!>
L: <Stuck as a pathetic human ...>
Ja: ::glares:: "What's wrong with humans?"
Cl: ::steps back:: <Well, they aren't strong, and how do you manage on just two legs?>
Ja: ::indignant:: "I'm stronger than you would think, Clovis. Being human isn't all bad."
L: <But they're so weak and stupid, Jaina.>
Ja: "Stupid?! Brian and the other humans-"
Cl: <Brian?>
L: <Have you fallen for a human and brought him here?>
Cl: <Just like Uncle Elfangor!>
Ja: ::pushes herself up, despite her still being weak.:: "I did not fall in love with Brian and bring him here! He came of his own free will. I got trapped afterwards! And Uncle Elfangor wanted to be human, this is nothing like that!"
T: ::hears all this yelling and looks in:: "Jaina? Are you all right?"
Ja: ::switches to public thought-speak in her anger:: <I'm FINE, just PERFECT!>
B: ::who has heard Jaina's yelling, runs into the room:: "Jaina, what's wrong?"
Cl: ::glances at him:: <Is this him?>
OOCEm: ((Damn arrogant male Andalites ...))
B: ::frowns at them and takes Jaina's hand:: "Jaina?"
Ja: ::bites her lip to keep from crying:: "I ... just want to be left alone."
Cl,L: ::exchange glances::
L: <Jaina, we're sorry.>
Cl: ::privately:: <We are?>
L: <No, be she obviously can't be reasoned with right now.>
Cl: <Oh.> ::out loud:: <Yeah, me too.>
B: ::looks at them:: "Maybe we should find your parents."
OOCJe: ((IIC days ... seem so long ago.))
A,Q,Z,D: ::as on cue, Ax, Quan, Zanlor, and the new baby come in. Ax is carrying the baby on his hip.::
Q: ::lets go of Zanlor's hand and hurries to her baby girl:: <Jaina! Are you all right? What happened?> ::hugs her::
OOCAl: ((Motherly instincts hurumph!))
OOCJe: ((What happened to the whole Resdent being evil and stealing Dareno thing?))
OOCAl: ((Ax knocked him out, and they ran away.))
OOCJe: ((Kay.))
Ja: "Yes, Mother, I'm fine. Leehara and Clovis are free ..."
Q: ::switches to hug Lee and Clov::
A: ::steps forward:: <Jaina, Leehara, Clovis, Zanlor, meet your new brother, Dareno-Krotopin-Showtair.>
OOCEm: ((Oh my ...))
Ja,L,Cl,Z: ::all exchange glances::
Ja: ::sighs:: "Another sibling?"
A: ::darkly:: <Yes. Your mother can't behave.>
Q: ::shoots a venomous look at Ax:: <You children will make sure to treat him well, and teach him?>
Cl: <But why, Mother?>
L: <He's not a real brother to us.>
Q: ::angry:: <Neither is Clovis, yet you treat him the same as Zanlor!>
Ja,L: ::gasp and step away from Clovis::
L: <You-you mean he's not our brother? You lied to us?!>
OOCJe: ((We must have forgotten to tell them that ...))
A: <He is your brother ... okay, cousin ... but Quantana adopted him when Estrid died.>
Cl: ::looks sad::
Ja: "And Dareno is no way related?"
A: <No. He is your half-brother. You have the same mother.>
L: <But he is not our full brother?>
A: <Correct.>
Ja,L: <"Oh.">
Z: ::very confused:: <But I thought that Mother could only have children with the one she is married to ...>
A: <What Mother did is called adultery, Zanlor.>
Z: <Oh.>
Q: <Yes, well, moving on ... has anyone found Hispen yet?>
B: ::who has been silently watching the Andalite soap opera:: "He was last in the cafeteria."
A: ::looks at Brian in disgust:: <You gave Jaina the poison, didn't you?>
B: ::straightens up:: "I did not know what it was, sir."
A: <Sure you didn't. Why were you taking drinks from Hispen? I think you were working with him!>
Q: <Aximili!>
Ja: "Daddy!"
B: "I would never hurt Jaina! I haven't seen Hispen before today. How as I to know he was a Controller?!>
A: <You knew! You just want us all dead! Well I'm not going to let that happen!> ::puts tail blade to Brian's throat.::
Ja: "Nooooooooooooo!"
::hurls herself at Brian, knocking him out of Ax's range.:: "Leave him alone! He's my friend! He wouldn't hurt me!"A: <Humans are all the same!
You can't turn your back on them! They'll kill you! That's all they know how to do!>A: "Ax ... I'm human ..."
A: ::not pausing:: <No, you're half Andalite. All humans have no morals whatsoever!>
Ja: "That's not true! Your Prince, Cassie, Rachel, Katrina, Kyle, Mina, Marco ... well, maybe exclude Marco cuz he's insane, but they have morals! And so does Brian! Because I've become a human, does that mean I will eventually lose all the morals I have? Is that part of the reasoning you were thinking as an excuse when you disowned me? I've been watching people all my life, and far as I can see, you're the one without morals!" ::runs out of the room::
OOCAl: ((This is so Little Mermaid.))
A: <Don't use that tone with me, Ariel!> ::Called after her::
Q: <Aximili? Dear? Who's Ariel?>
M: ::in Jamaican accent:: "She is the mermaid who lives Under the Sea." ::bursts into the song, 'Under the Sea'.::

K: ::thoughtfully:: "Hey, we haven't had a good singing session in a long time." ::joins singing::
All: "The seaweed is always greener, in somebody else's place. You dream about going up there, but that is a big mistake. Just look at the world around you, right here on the ocean floor. Such wonderful things surround you, what more are you looking for? Under the sea! Under the sea! Darling it's better, down where it's wetter, take it from me! Up on the shore they work all day, out in the sun they slave away, while we devoting full time to floating under the sea. Down here all the fish is happy ... ::rest of song goes here.::

OOCEm: ((That was not rambling, I cleaned up quite a bit in those six pages.))

A: ::grabs Quan's hand as she was going to slap him again and twists it behind her back, almost breaking it.:: ::coldly and threatening:: <Well at least I am loyal to you and not a shameless slut.> ::throws her arm down and runs out.::

All H: ::exchange glances::
J: ::sits back:: "Here we go again ..."
An: ::suddenly, an Andalite nurse comes in, carrying a bundle:: <Quantana. I have someone who wants to meet you. He just came out of intensive care and is your healthy baby boy. We saved him.> ::hands Quan's old, once aborted son to her::
Q: ::looks down and sees her baby boy that was dead.:: <Oh ...>
OOCAl: ((Ok. For those who are confused, the baby is the aborted baby that was Ax's.))
A: ::comes back in and sees Quan holding a different baby and becomes confused.::
<What? Another bastard child?>Q: ::trembles:: <Oh my ...>
Baby: ::begins to cry::
OOCEm: ((Wow Ali, that was abrupt ...))
J: "No, Ax. That one's yours. The one that was aborted. They brought it back to life."
A: <Really? Let me hold him.>
Q: ::hesitantly hands the baby over::
M: "Alright, has anyone been keeping count of how many kids they got now?"
OOCAl: ((Let's see ...))
C: "Let's see ... There's Jaina and Lee, Zanlor, Dareno, this one, and Clovis. That's 6."
OOCEm: ((Wow ...))
K: "Wow, that's more than all of our kids combined."
OOCEm: ((Speaking of, where is Jeremy this time?))
M: ::frowns:: "Speaking of kids, how long have Alf and Melissa been baby-sitting Jeremy and Hope?"

OOCAl: ((Okay. But we need a new piece of paper.))

R: ::Frowns:: "A long time actually ..."
C: "Alf takes good care of them. Hey, Quan, what are you gonna name him?"
OOCAl: ((Name, name, we need a name.))
OOCEm: ((Hmm, we could always use Marcimus like we had before, heh. Sorry, I'm better at girls names.))
A: ::looks down at the tiny Andalite baby.:: <Golener.>
OOCEm: ((Spelling, Ali?))
OOCAl: ((It's right.))
Q: ::nods agreeingly:: <Yes. Golener-Osspin-(Aximili's grandfather's middle name)Nicton.>
A: ::nods and hands the baby to Quan proudly:: <I'm sorry.>
Q: ::privately back:: <Me too.>
OOCEm: ((Damn, I had something really good to write and I forgot it ... Ya know, we have a mouse soap opera and an Andalite one, I'm getting a bit nervous. I've decided that Kyle and Kaia and Mina are off having bonding time somewhere ...))
Ky: ::wheels in with Katrina, Mina, and Kaia behind him:: "Hey everyone, what's going on?"
Mi: "And who's the new kid?" ::gestures towards Golener::
Q: <This little one is Golener, which means miracle.>
Mi: ::looks confused::
Q: <Let me explain. If you remember, I had an abortion, because Aximili wouldn't allow me to have Dareno. But they made a mistake, and took this one, and ever since, he was in an intensive care incubator. And now he's well enough to live on his own.> ::smiles::
Ky: "Oh."
K: "He's cute."
Q: ::smiles:: <Yes he is.>
OOCEm: ((Wonder when Jenni's coming back, hmmm ... I'm getting tired of Quan and her six kids, heh.))
B: ::notices Zanlor sneaking away and going in the direction Jaina went in, follows him.::
Z: ::sees him:: <Ah, Brian.> ::they walk in silence for a minute:: <Do you love Jaina?>
B: ::startled by the question:: "I-I don't know. She's a great friend-"
Z: <But do you love her?>
B: "Yes ... I do."
Z: <You know you cannot have her.>
B: ::looks surprised::
Z: ::continuing:: <My father will not allow it. He has told me Jaina and Leehara shall be betrothed to Andalites. He hasn't made up his mind about us males yet.>
B: "But does Quan know about this?!"
Z: <No. He said he'll tell her when 'she is more agreeable.'>
B: "You know Quan and Jaina will never stand for it! Leehara's not going to be too happy either!"
Z: ::shrugs:: <They will have no choice. Father is the dominant male, and the law in on his side. His request is not an unusual one, 95% of marriages at arranged.>
B: "You're younger than I am, how do you know all this?"
Z: <The Academy.>
OOCJe: ((Is it just me, or does everything have an academy?))
Z: <It taught me many things.> ::gets a distant look::
B: ::looking back:: "We've left the hospital. Where do you think she could be?"
OOCJe: ((Bored, bored, bored, Cassie/Wade/B'Elanna is on the Sentinel, bored, Salmonious is weird, bored, bored ...))
Z: <Maybe she went to a special place, or to talk to someone->
B: "-Other than your crazy family."
Z: <Well ... yes. But we really don't know anyone outside our 'clan.'>
B: ::laughs:: "That's a good way to put it. You all are related."
Z: <Will be, once Kyle and Mina have their wedding.>
B: "What's with Kyle and Katrina, anyway?"
Z: <As far as I can tell, Kyle grew up on Taxxon and Katrina grew up here, which is probably for the better. They didn't have a 'normal' human life.>
B: "Oh, that's why they seem so distant."
OOCJe: ((Someone tell me why Brian and Zanlor are having a male-bonding time. I can't stop! STOP THE MADNESS!!!))
B: "It's weird." ::muttering::
Z: <What is?>
B: "Being on an alien planet, learning there are aliens, dating an alien, having no real humans my age around, take your pick."
Z: ::looks at him strangely:: <You said dating an alien ...>
B: "I did?" ::sighs:: "Well, don't tell Ax I did. You know, I wonder how the guys back home would handle this. I had this one friend who loved wars and weapons. He would be in heaven with all this technology you guys have."
OOCJe: ((Heh, heh, does Sean have nay friends named Brian?))
B: "Sometimes I wonder why I came up here in the first place. Then I see Jaina watching me or laughing ... and I know, man."
Z: ::nods:: <I know how you feel, Brian.>
B: ::turns, grinning:: "You have a female Andalite waiting for you at the Academy?"
Z: <Yes. She just doesn't know it yet.>
OOCJe: ((Kinda like when Ax and Quan were in school.))
OOCAl: ((No. Just an imaginary son named Brian. Oh. Very good, Jenni.))
B,Z: ::suddenly they hear sniffling in the bushes::
Z: ::goes over to the shrubbery and finds Jaina in a ball, crying.:: <Jaina? What's the matter?>
B: ::crouches next to Jaina and puts his arm around her, rubbing her back:: "Shhh. It's okay. What's the matter?"
OOCAl: ((That event was true. The names were changed. I know. I saw it.))
OOCJe: ((Shrubbery, Ali?))
Ja: ::whispering, Zanlor and Brian have to strain to hear her:: "He's right, I don't deserve to live, I never should have been born."
B: ::Frowns and pulls her closer:: "That's not true, you are the most wonderful person I know."
OOCEm: ((I was going to write something really good there, but forget it. Heh, I like this pen! It lights up! You know what else I love? That fanfic, I was up until midnight reading it man! It was great, I just can't say enough about it ... I'm not crazy by the way ...))
Z: <And if you had not been born this whole family would have gone to hell a long time ago.>
Ja: "But Daddy doesn't love me! Mother has so much to do, she doesn't have time. I cannot live without his love, I just can't! I'm a mistake, and everyone knows it."
OOCJe: ((::sighs:: Not using a totally true story in a different context ...))
B: "Jaina, listen to me. If your father didn't love you, then why is he so protective of you? Why does he put up with you calling him 'Daddy'? Why doesn't he like me with you alone? Jaina, you're his little girl, and nothing can change that. Not ever your form."
OOCAl: ((Woah. That was touching. Can I barf now?))
OOCJe: ((I thought it was beautiful. And I have no idea what to write.))
OOCEm: ((What totally true story, Jenni?))
Ja: ::tearfully:: "You think so?"
B: "Yes, I really do. Now come on, it's getting dark."
Z: ::watches, amazed at how good Brian is with her.::
OOCJe: ((Not telling.))
Ja: ::looking up:: "It's going to storm. We'll never get to the hospital in time."
Z: <Father's old scoop is nearby.>
Ja: "Yes, we can see Grammy and Pop-Pop." ::they go to the scoop.::
All: ::meanwhile in the hospital ... Ax and Quan are in human morph doing the polka with the other humans who are learning. Oh. I've decided that Ax and Quan know ballroom dancing. Anyway, since dancing is an Andalite pastime, some Andalites are playing with strings, percussion, and accordions.::
An: <Why are you listening to this when you can do a polka?> ::rest of song:: <You can listen to the stupid song or create your own CD!> ::then they start playing a cha-cha, the Andalite Anthem, one of many.:: <Here we go; oley, oley, oley. Go, go, go! Oley, oley, oley!>
OOCJe: ((Oh ... my ... God ...))
All H: "Oh ... my ... God ..."
OOCEm: ((Oh! My! GOD! Heh, that was my nice little Chandler impression ... Ya know, I can't write anything while the Andalites are listening to the Devil!))
OOCJe: ((Yeah, it's too much. Back to Ali ...))
OOCAl: ((No. They are singing it! It was their song first!))
All: ::the song finishes and a slow waltz starts up::
OOCAl: ((I feel like doing something abrupt ...))
T: ::dips Rachel::
OOCEm: ((Sorry Ali, but you can't do something abrupt with my characters without consulting me, or at least until it's been nine months.))
OOCJe: ((::sigh:: Where's Lee, Clov, Dareno, and Golener?))
OOCEm: ((Heh, off with Melissa and Alf?))
OOCAl: ((Again?))
M: ::Marco trips::
((166))OOCJe: ((We really need a plot.))
All: ::the dance winds down and everybody collapses, tired.::
C: "So ..."
T: "What now?"
All: ::Alf and Melissa pop in with Hope, Jeremy, Clovis, Leehara, Dareno, and Golener.::
Alf: HELLO ALL. I HAVE A PROBLEM.
OOCJe: ((Oh no, what's Alf's problem?))
OOCAl: ((He wants to marry Melissa, but if he does, he will have to live his life as a human.))
OOCEm: ((Well, they fell in love rather quickly ...))
J: "What's up, Alf?"
Alf: MELISSA AND I ARE IN LOVE.
All: ::everybody stares at them.::
R: "Umm, how did that happen?"
Mel: "You know, I don't know."
::smiles:: "I just woke up one day and realized I was in love ..."OOCJe: (( ... realized I was in love ...))
OOCAl: ((And I am in love.))
M: "So when's the wedding?"
OOCJe: ((Oh! She admitted it! Can we get a confession from Sean?))
Alf: WE'RE NOT GETTING MARRIED RIGHT NOW! BESIDES, THERE'S A PROBLEM.
OOCJe: ((I should probably write up Kyle and Mina's wedding, huh?))
OOCEm: ((Probably ... let's see, Jenni was in love. And Ali is in love ... I have no comment.))
K: "What's the problem?"
OOCJe: ((Hey, I am currently in love. Kind of. Who do you love, Emily?))
OOCAl: ((With Jay?))
OOCJe: ((Nope. You'll never guess. Sim!))
Alf: WELL. I CAN'T GET MARRIED OUT OF MY SPECIES, OR I'LL HAVE TO STAY HUMAN. I CANT STILL BE THE LIVING PLOT HOLE AND SUCH. BUT I CAN'T BE GHOST-LIKE OR PURPLE, WHICH I LOVE. BUT I LOVE MELISSA, TOO.
M: "Well that's the problem!"
K: "Yeah well I was wondering, we know Kyle and Mina are getting married, but when are you two having kids?"
OOCJe: ((Um ..."
Ky: "I think we have other things to worry about ..."
::glances down at the wheelchair he's (still!) in::Alf: OH MAN! ::smacks head, hand goes through forehead:: I TOTALLY FORGOT YOU'RE CRIPPLED, NOW! SORRY, MAN.
OOCEm: ((Hmm, I think I said no comment, Jenni.))
OOCAl: ((It's okay. You'll find someone.))
Ky: "It's okay."
K: ::brightens:: "Hey! Could you make Kyle better?"
OOCAl: ((Hey,))
OOCEm: ((Hey, way to finish your sentences, Ali! Hey wait, CAN Alf fix Kyle? Grr, stupid automatic return!!!))
Mi: "Wait, wait, stop a minute. Are you guys saying that my sister is going to marry an alien?"
OOCEm: ((Mina is a bit slow today ...))
Alf: ::Lookass at her coldly:: I AM NOT AN ALIEN, I AM AN ELLIMIST, FAR SUPERIOR TO ANY ALIEN. WE ELLIMISTS ARE ...
M: "Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've heard it all before. Ellimists are superior, blah, blah, blah."
OOCEm: ((Is it possible? Have we managed to find a race more arrogant than Andalites? Or maybe just someone more arrogant than Ax? It's amazing! You know what else is amazing? The fact that I am a writer and I cannot type for SHIT today!))
K: ::sighs:: "I'm hungry." ::turns to Marco:: "Do you have any of those M&Ms left?"
OOCEm: ((My gosh, I sound like Nicole ...))
OOCJe: ((Oh ... my ... God ...))
M: "Hey, these are the only M&Ms on the planet!"
Mel: "ANYWAY, we're not getting married ... yet. It's just that when we do we have the problem of Alfie becoming a human!"
OOCJe: ((Kinda like))
OOCAl: ((Kinda like what Jenni?))
All: <"ALFIE?">
Alf: ::blushes:: YEAH ... WELL ...
A: <I've heard of pet names, but that has to be the worst! Right, Quanta?> ::gives her a quick peck on the cheek.::
OOCAl: ((::sighs:: Baby Cheeks ... ::looks out dreamingly::))
Q: ::blushes at her old nickname:: <Aximili ...>
OOCJe: ((Um ... what was our original topic?))
OOCEm: ((Original topic? What's that? Hey! Baby Cheeks! Wake up!))
OOCAl: ((::snaps out:: "What?! Oh. The topic. Okay. Should Alf fix Kyle so Mina can get married? Or ... we could go to Jaina and them in the scoop. Or Rachel could have her baby, or ... no. Oh! Hispen could come back and kill Golener, or not. Or just Hispen comes back. Take your pick.))
OOCJe: ((Alf should fix Kyle, Rachel should have her kid, Hispen should come back, not kill any kids, Quan should not have triplets, Alf should become human, and we're going to Jaina, Brian, Zanlor, Loren, Noorlin, Forlay, and the tree!))
OOCEm: ((Alf should fix Kyle and marry Melissa, Hispen has to come back so we can finally kill him, what's this about Quan having triplets? And the tree?))
All: ::to Brian, Zanlor, Loren, Noorlin, and Forlay oh, and some random tree ...:: ::and Jaina!::
Z: <Hello? Grandmother? Grandfather?>
N: ::walks in:: <Yes? Can I help you?>
OOCJe: ((Noorlin forgot about everything, didn't he? Damn plot holes ...))
Ja: ::runs and hugs Noorlin:: <Pam-Paw!>
N: <Do I know you?>
Ja: "It's me, Jaina."
F: <Jaina is an Andalite, not a human.>
Z: <She's a nothlit now. Hello Grandmother, Grandfather.>
F: <And who is the other human?>
B: "I'm Brian, Jaina's ... friend."
N: <Yes, well, if this human is Jaina, then she should prove it. Name the family tree with Andalite names.>
Ja: ::hides her nervousness:: "Beginning with my generation?"
N: <No. Start from my father.>
Ja: "Okay. Okay. Your father was Vanlor-Osspin-Nanook, whose wife was Nannie-Sirinial-Bertie. They had one son, Noorlin-Sirinial-Cooraf. They had another older son, but he died at infancy after he was named. Noorlin married Forlay-Esgarrouth-Maheen. They then had two sons, Elfangor-Sirinial-Shamtul and Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill. Elfangor married a human, Loren, and they had a son, Tobias. He married Rachel. Rachel's father was Dan and her mother was Naomi. Rachel had 2 younger sisters, Sara and Jordan. Dan had a brother, Greg, who married Nikki. They had two sons, named Tom and Jake. Jake married Cassie, and recently they had a daughter named Hope. Cassie's father is John and her mother is Aisha. On the other side of the family, Aximili married Quantana-Semitur-Jahar. They had twin daughters, Jaina-Esgarrouth-Cassia and Leehara-Semitur-Cinnabon; a son, Zanlor-Sirinial-Corass; and twin sons, Dareno-Krotopin-Showtair and Golener-Osspin-Nicton. Dareno, though, is not Aximili's, he is Resdent-Krotopin-Nerica's. Anyway, Quantana had two younger siblings, Lutmash-Showtair-Nestin and Estrid-Corill-Darrath. Estrid had and son, Clovis-Corill-Wilks, who was adopted by Quantana and Aximili after Estrid died. Their parents were Alloran-Semitur-Corass and Jahar-Showtair-Nicton. Alloran's brother was Arlisle-Corill-Einnan. He married Kaia, and they had a boy and a girl, twins, Katrina and Kyle. Katrina married Marco and had a son with the Ellimist, Alf's father. Marco's father was also named Jeremy and his mother was Eva. Kyle is engaged to Mina. Mina's younger sister is Melissa, and their father is Hedrick Chapman. Melissa is considering getting married to Alf." ::pauses:: "And Brian is my ... friend. That's all I know."
N,F: ::stare at her::
F: <Jaina, what happened to you?>
Ja: ::looks confused:: "I told you, I'm a nothlit."
N: <But how? I thought you parents were responsible enough to warn you about the time limit.>
Ja: "You would think so.
I think they did, but I wasn't paying attention because I was with ..." ::trails off::N,F: ::exchanges glances::
F: <Well come inside Jaina, what past is past.>
::they all walk to the covered part of the scoop just as the rain passes.::N: <Loren? Could you come here, please?>
OOCEm: ((Loren is magically ... oh yeah.))
Loren: ::steps out:: "What is it?"
Ja: ::smiles:: "Aunt Loren!"
Z: <Aunt Loren, hello.>
Loren: "Wait, wait?"
OOCEm: ((I guess Tobias, he should be looking for Jaina.))
Ja: "It's me, Jaina, and this is Zanlor."
Loren: ::glances at Noorlin and Forlay:: "Ax and Quan's kids?"
N: <Yes.>
Loren: ::smiles at Jaina and hugs her:: "Hey there, Jaina. How have you been?" ::not asking why she is human.::
Ja: "Okay. This is Brian."
OOCJe: ((And this is a dull scene.))
OOCSe: ((Go away.))
OOCAl: ((Jenni would say 'No!'. I feel abrupt ... Sean sim!))
All: ::suddenly, there is a surprise Yeerk attack. Lasers and bullets are flying everywhere. Take it, Sean.::
OOCMe: ((Ok gotta set the scene. The Yeerks attacked from the tall grass, completely concealed by the grass. Everyone was caught off guard.))
Alf: HERE TAKE WHAT YOU NEED.
All: ::four large gray containers appeared. Then a whir of engines as a ship approached.::
All: <"What the hell!"> ::all are in HB morph.::
Ship: ::the ship landed and 3 figures stepped out::
W: "Come back in 20 minutes. Hover around at about 4 clicks." ::the ship lifted off. The 3 men walked toward the group. They walked without hesitation through the blasts of gunfire::
W: "Alright everyone! Get those crates open. Set up to 50 cal and put some fire on them. You over there, get that SAW out and start usin' it." ::the Hork-Bajir nearest to the crate opened it up and picked up a weapon.::
W: "Now fire on them. Come guys, let's give a hand." ::Wilks and he's comrades took control of 20 mm anti-tank gun and used for infantry support, the gun left the ground slick with blood.::
W: ::Wilks watches the battle going on. The ground sprays in the air as bullets strike the ground. He turns to his left as he hears an enemies cry as they charge.:: "Fire!" ::the 50 cal opens up right into the charge, knocking the first wave down, the second wave is decimated.::
R: ::being herself, she charges the Yeerks, shooting wildly.::
OOCJe: ((I can't believe we let Sean write. I must be insane.))
OOCMe: ((What gave that away?))
OOCJe: ((You just shut up and stop using Megan's OOC symbol! :-P))
OOCSe: ((Bitch and moan, that's all you do.))
OOCJe: ((Megan! Yell at him!))
OOCAl: ((Well so do you, Sean! But I won't ask.))
OOCSe: ((Wah wah wah.))
OOCJe: ((Leave me alone, you big bully! ::cries::))
OOCEm: ((Alright, all of you stop it! ::smacks Seam::))
T: ::spots Rachel:: <Rachel! What are you doing out here?! You're pregnant!>
OOCSe: ((There is no warning about fighting a war while pregnant. Only no smoking, no roller coasters, and no alcohol. War is good for you.))
OOCJe: ((Yeah Sean, it's been proven to lower birth defects. ::rolls her eyes::))
OOCAl: ((Exactly.))
OOCJe: ((Idiots, I'm surrounded by frickin' idiots!))
OOCSe: ((Don't go on the Dr. Evil bit, that's MINE you damned bastard!))
OOCJe: ((Stop swearing, dammit!))
OOCEm: ((::sigh:: Jenni, do you ever listen to yourself?))
OOCAl: ((Probably not. Oh well. And Dr. Evil is NOT yours! He's Mike Myers! So there! :-p))
OOCSe: ((What the hell are you all talking about? It is so damned confusing. Talk like goddamned normal people.))
OOCAl: ((You jackass! God is capitalized, God, God, God! Idiot! Oh by the way, I'm doing opposites.))
OOCSe: ((K, won't ask.))
OOCAl: ((26.))
OOCSe: ((21.))
OOCAl: ((Otay, I won't ask, I won't ask, I won't ask, I won't ask, I won't ask!))
OOCSe: ((26.))
OOCAl: ((Hey, we're even and you learned to put your right symbol!))
OOCJe: ((Ali, he's been remembering, but only because I yelled at him. Pointlessness ...))
OOCEm: ((What the hell are Ali and Sean arguing over? New page, please.))
OOCJe: ((How many times she says 'I won't ask!' that many dollars she owes. ::pause:: Damn, that's one for me.))
OOCAl: ((No. None for you.))
OOCSe: ((I hope not.))
OOCAl: ((::lol::))
OOCJe: ((No, no, lol does not go in :: ::! You just type LOL, or brb, or IRL, not in :: ::. Jeez, I have to teach you people everything!))
OOCEm: ((Not me. I have AOL ...))
T: ::grabs Rachel, pulling her away from an incoming blast:: <Get out of here!>
R: <I can't! I have to help!>
OOCEm: ((Hmm, since no one else is actually simming! I'll just have a moment ...))
T: ::pulls her off the field:: <You can't! Please trust me! You have to go find the others!>
OOCEm: ((The others who I have decided are not there, despite what Sean says, cause he knows nothing about what's been going on.))
R: <I won't leave you!>
T: <You have to! Go!>
OOCJe: ((Cool!))
OOCAl: ((Writer's black ... not good.))
OOCJe: ((Tell me about it.))
R: ::shakes head and demorphs, remorphs to bird and flies away:: <Jake!> ::stops him and the others:: <We've got a problem.>
J: ::looks up, shouts:: "What's wrong?"
R: <Tobias and I were going to see Loren, but the Yeerks showed up! And Wilks was there->
All: ::groan::
C: "How many lives does that guy have?!"
M: "Didn't we kill him 10 times already?"
R: <Yeah, but Sean decided to bring him back. Anyway, that's no the point! The point is, we need reinforcements!>
All: "Oh." ::Ax and Quan stay themselves, carrying Dareno and Golener, Lee and Clov stay the same. Jake morphs tiger, Cassie morphs polar bear, Marco morphs gorilla, Katrina morphs jaguar, Kyle, although paralyzed, morphs a Jubba-Jubba monster, and Mina, for her morphing debut, morphs a ... kafit bird. They all start to run to the battle site, except for Mina who begins just ... flying.::
Mi: ::dreamily:: <So free ...>
K: <Yeah Mina, it's great, but stay focused, we've got a battle to fight.>
Mi: ::dazed:: <What? Oh ... right ...>
OOCEm: ((So tired.))
Mi: <This is so great though> ::dives at the rest, swooping back up on her six wings:: <HA! Woah! What a rush!>
OOCAl: ((Emily, Jenni's making Mina stupid!))
OOCEm: ((Jenni, what did I tell you and Nicole about that.))
Ky: <Mina! Focus!>
Mi: <Hmm?> ::sighs:: <Okay.> ::they all got to the scoop, where Wilks and Tobias are losing ground fast.::
OOCAl: ((Otay. Since Sean's good at war things, I'll let him END the battle.))
W: "Pull back, pull back!" ::Wilks' men dropped, chests splattered by enemy shots. Overhead the sound of an approaching craft gets louder as the landing craft reappears.:: "All right! If you want to live to fight another day, get your asses in here!"
T: <Should we?>
J: <No choice. There's too many of them. Go, go!> ::Jake, Tobias, Cassie, Marco, Katrina, Kyle, Quan (carrying Dareno), Ax (carrying Golener), Leehara, Clovis, Jaina, Zanlor, Brian, Noorlin, Forlay, and Loren run in. Rachel and Mina fly in, and the door closes as the transport lifts off.::
All: ::back to Earth, for some odd reason.::
R: "Well, what about Hispen?"
C: "The Andalites will have to take care of him."
B: ::runs in, followed by Jaina, Leehara, Clovis, and Zanlor.:: "We're home!"
OOCEm: ((I can't write like this ... Oh man, they're home? Now we have to have a big celebration ...))
T,R,C,J,Mi,Ky,K,M: ::all poke their heads our and are greeted by a loud cheering.::
C: "Hey! We really are home."
K: "How long have we been gone?" ::surveys the crowd that has come to cheer for them::
J: "Too long."
OOCEm: ((Who did I plan this with? It might have been Nicole ...))
Loren: ::steps out after them:: Tobias?"
Mi,T: ::exchange glances then turn to look at Loren::
T: "Mom?"
OOCEm: ((Wow, page 700. When was the last time I started a hundredth page? Around 500 it started to lose it's novelty. Oh well. Page 700! Whoo-Hoo! I just want to say that I miss Nicole, our resident Great Blonde Weirdo, Sean is annoying! And in 300 pages exactly, Daphne will owe us $10 each. Thank you.))
Mi: "Loren?"
OOCJe: ((I think we should raise it to ... half a cent a word. I mean, really. $10 for just 1,000 pages? We need more.))
L: "My baby ..." ::hugs Tobias::
OOCAl: ((Well. This is interesting. Sean, come join the celebration! 700 pages! Oh. I have to do a classic.))
R: ::Rachel trips.::
((167))OOCSe: ((Oh yea. Don't I feel special. Yippy. I would say $10 per person times the average amount of letters per page throughout the entire Simming. Ca'ching! $$))
OOCAl: ((Megan, you can finish up.))
OOCMe: ((I'm not paying to sim, sorry. Sean, why are you sitting there?))
R: "What happened? Oh, I tripped again! When did I trip in the first place? I'm not blonde." ::flips hair, walks away, trips again,
