Dreams...
By: KtDiD A.K.A Mellisa Chapman
She stared lifelessly at the test in her hand. She had studied some of the night and yet she still made a bad grade. To all her friends a �B� would be nothing to cry about but to her, it meant a near miss of her dream� He stared at the girl sitting on the bench. Actually, all he could do was stare. Only he knew of her dream. And only he could see the �B� written in red across the top. He knew it must have been bouncing around in her brain screaming, � FAILURE,� but he couldn�t make himself known. The enemy was watching. � If only I hadn�t had a � conflict I bet I would have made the grade!� she thought as the tears welled up and fell down her face. She had only cried about 5 times in her life (not including when she was a baby). Her one and only dream (aside from defeating �them) was to become a teacher. She never let it show. It was always hidden from everyone� except him� Silently, yet with urgency in his voice, he asked her get up and walk down the street. They were closing in and he at least wanted to say �Goodbye,� to her. They met in �their spot� and he de/morphed. All at once, in a flurry of motion, they were in each other�s arms, as the end of the free world came about. �And the world as we know it was gone, Armageddon complete. Evil rising to the top, good falling under its heavy footsteps. Evil that is in the form of an otherwise helpless race. Their name�s�the Yeerks. Author�s Note: The characters in this story could be any �couple� in the Animorphs. They all have hidden dreams. The test didn�t have to be of this moment either. She could have been looking back and saying, � I�ll never reach my dream�� The enemy, of course, was the Yeerks. This story shows the outcome the Animorphs are fighting against, but still dream about in the deepest, darkest hours of the night.
