Megamorphs 1-The Andalite's Gift "Would you both shut up? I'm trying to drive here!" "Car! Car! Car!" ...BAM! "AAAAAAHHHH!!" "Oh, it's just a trash can. Chill out." ...BAM! BAM! BAM! "Do you hate trash cans? Is that your problem? Do you just HATE TRASH CANS!?!" "I can't drive with you screaming in my ear." "You can't drive at all!! ...I'm going to kill you, Marco. If I survive, I am going to kill you." --Marco, Jake The good news was Marco had gotten out of the neighborhood, so he couldn't destroy any more trash cans. The bad news was he'd gotten on the highway. --Jake <The good news is, we're out of the ship.> <You seem to be implying that there might be some bad news, too.> <Oh, yeah. The bad news is, we're about two miles up in the air and we are plummeting to Earth.> --Marco, Ax <That was exciting.> <Yes, it was. Let's never, ever do that again.> <Ever.> --Ax, Marco I sat up, spun around, twisting myself up in my sheets, then promptly fell out of my bed. Marco laughed so hard he started crying. "How did you get here? You're alive?" "No. I am the ghost of Marco. Fear me." "Cassie said the Veleek carried you away." "Yes, it did. And now we're going steady." --Jake, Marco <I can't believe you guys were doing all this while I was sleeping! Playing tag with some dust monster from Saturn? Rachel having amnesia until Marco plowed into her with a truck? Escaping from Visser Three's Blade Ship? And I'm sleeping the entire time? No way! I missed all the fun.> --Tobias <Are you ever afraid?> ...<Yeah, Cassie, I'm afraid a lot of the time.> <How do you handle it?> <Who says I handle it? There's only one way to deal with fear: be afraid. Be afraid and then go ahead and do what you have to anyway.> <Yeah, I guess that's true. Listen, Tobias, if I don't make it...> <Oh, shut up. You're going to make it.> <If I don't...if I don't, you know, then tell Jake that someday he has to tell my parents, okay? Someday, if it's ever safe. Tell them what happened to me. Promise?> <Sure, Cassie, I promise.> <Just don't tell my dad what happened to his truck.> --Cassie, Tobias |
