Ellimist: hi, Rachel. I'd
like to ask you a few questions
Rachel: Okay, Ellimist. Can I call you that? Is that your real name?
Ellimist: no, but I'm not going to tell anyone even my real name.
Rachel: Why?
Ellimist: I'll make you a deal. you tell everyone your last name I'll tell you
my name.
Rachel: no
Ellimist: Okay, let's start.
Ellimist: For the first question: What's it like to be an Animorph?
Rachel: It's scary. But it's fun turning into animals. And even through the
tough times I have my friends to comfort me.
Ellimist: Even Marco.
Rachel: Yes, even though we fight Marco is a very good friend of mine. i don't
hate him.
Ellimist: Have you ever been to fanfiction.net or read fan fic?
Rachel: Yes, and I'm tired of stories where i commit suicide. I'm not the suicidal
type.
Ellimist: Even more tired of stories where you and Marco are married.
Rachel: It's hard to believe but yes.
Ellimist: In book thirty-two you were split in half. What's it like to be whole
and yourself?
Rachel: It's a better feeling because "Real Rachel" ,that would be
me, Is not even in that for more than ten minutes.
Ellimist: Rachel, in your up coming book Jake leaves and you half to take the
lead. Do you like leading?
Rachel: When I lead I have a lot more respect for Jake than when I'm just the
follower. But in this book this species called the Garatrons are fighting us.
They are so fast we have to morph cheetahs just to keep up with them!
Ellimist: You just called yourself the 'Follower'. If you are the follower but
the second leader who would be the 'right-hand man'?
Rachel: Well, Jake and Marco are the best of friends and Marco is very good
at suspecting things so I guess it would be Marco.
Ellimist:If you and Jake were both out who do you think would be the leader?
A lot of people wonder this.
Rachel: Well, there have been missions when neither Jake or I went but the only
one I can remember is the one where we were trying to get Visser one and Tobias
made the decisions. But that's because of the mom thing Marco has. So I guess
it's between Marco and Tobias.
Rachel: I hear Jake calling. i only have time for two more questions
Ellimist: okay, let's make these the best.
Ellimist: is there anything going on between you and Marco? A lot of fans are
also wondering this.
Rachel: (in a very calm voice) No.
Ellimist: okay, and for the last question. Why is the grizzly you're favorite
morph?
Rachel: Well, Ellimist and all the Animorph fan out there, I like it because
of the pure strength, the felling of mightiness, and to kick some Yeerk butt.
Ellimist: Well, that's all we have time for. Next week we will interview everyone's
favorite character: Marco! Until then the hard drive is um... not going to um...
give any... um... ah screw it. I don't need a phrase
