Book 22-The Solution "Marco, you know you're a toad?" "Kiss me and I'll become a prince.  I'll be The Prince Formerly Known As Toad.  You know you want me.  You can't help it.  After all, you're female and I'm...well, I'm me." "Yeah, that's the real Marco." "Believe me, we all did the same kind of thing.  I asked him to tell me what it was like when we morphed trout.  Just to test his memory." "And I answered that it wasn't bad except that the cracker-crumb coating chafed a little and I was allergic to tartar sauce." --Rachel, Marco, Cassie It made sense.  Cassie was the best at morphing.  Jake was using her for her special talent.  Like he used Marco for his suspicious mind.  Like he used Ax for his knowledge of all things alien.  Like he used Tobias for his raptor eyes and ears.  Like he used me.  For what?  For my recklessness?  For something dark that lived inside me? --Rachel <Charge!> <Charge?  I bet he's always wanted to say that.> --Jake, Marco "Okay, fine, Rachel.  You want to do this, fine.  I think you're the bravest member of the group.  I think in a bad fight I'd rather have you with me than anyone else.  But yeah, Rachel, I think you're the only one of us who would be disappointed if all this ended tomorrow.  Cassie hates all this, Marco has personal reasons for being in this war, Ax just wants to go home and fight Yeerks with his own people, Tobias...who knows what Tobias wants anymore?  But you, Rachel, you love it.  It's what makes you so brave.  It's what makes you so dangerous to the Yeerks." --Jake <May I be forgiven for what I am about to do.> --Cassie
