Book 4-The Message "My name is Cassie." "I was busy watching my taped reruns of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood.  Last night it was the one where it was a beautiful day in the neighborhood." --Marco "Marco is never happy unless he's complaining.  Just like Rachel is never happy unless she has something to fight against.  And Tobias is never happy, period.  He thinks that if he's ever happy, someone will just come along and take his happiness away." --Cassie <Marco?  Are you with us?> <Oh, sure.  Where else would I be?  What could be more fun than running around in the sand dunes getting shot at and then jumping into the ocean and turning into a trout, who, incidentally, can't live in salt water?  I wouldn't miss it for anything.  Now can we go home and watch TV?> --Cassie, Marco "If you think we should pursue this, you know Rachel will be right behind you.  Me, too." "What about Marco?" "Marco won't be right behind you.  He'll be several feet back." --Jake, Cassie "I would rather shovel manure with you than do homework without you, anyday." I think it was a compliment.  Sort of. --Jake, Cassie "Weird?  Weird?  The talking bird wants to know if getting information on the location of an alien from a whale, that you've just saved from sharks, by turning into dolphins... You're suggesting that's weird?" --Marco <I am Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill.> "Ax.  Pleased to meet you." --Ax, Marco "Five of us?" <Six, my prince.> "Six. Well, then.  With six it shouldn't be any problem." --Jake, Ax, Marco <Don't you know whom you're fighting?> Yes.  Now I knew. --Ax, Cassie
