"Man, I have got to see that movie again! Spiderman rocks!" I grinned, as me and my boyfriend Scott walked back into the mall from the attached movie theater. He smiled, taking my hand in his.

"I agree. How about next weekend? We'll go see it again," he said, running a hand through his spiked hair.

I smiled. "Awesome. Can't wait."

"I wonder if Tasha and Dave got lost in there," he laughed, "They went in to see their movie before us. So they should've come out by now."

I laughed. "Knowing them, they were so caught up in each other that they didn't notice the movie was over," I said.

"Here they come," Scott said, motioning towards Tasha and Dave who were exiting the movie theater and walking over to us. "Hey guys, what took so long?" Scott grinned. Dave blushed. "The movie was longer than we'd thought," he replied.

"Well, we'd better head home. It's after midnight already," Tasha said. *~*~*~*

I yawned and stood up from the table in the food court. "Sleepy?" Attie asked me and I nodded.

"Very."

"Bob's always sleepy," Clint laughed and I stuck my tounge out at him.
"You hush up," I laughed, rubbing my eyes slightly.

"Well, we should be going home. I'm tired myself," Attie said, standing up and pulling Clint up with her.

"Hey, isn't that Scott and Dave?" Clint asked. I followed his gaze and sure enough, saw Scott, Diana, Dave and Tasha walking towards us. I smiles slightly. "Hey guys," I said. Diana smiled warmly at me. "Hey Bob. You guys heading home?" she asked.

I nodded. "Yeah. Care to walk with us?"

"Sure."

*~*~*~*

"Hey check it out. We should take a shortcut through here," Diana said, walking towards and abandoned construction site.

"Are you serious?" Scott asked, "Some freaked up ax muderers or something could be there."

Bob laughed. "Scott seriously. Ax muderers? I agree with Di. It's faster," he said as him and Di walked into the site.

"God, something's gonna happen. I can feel it," Tasha muttered, grasping onto Dave's hand as we followed Bob and Diana deeper into the site.

"Omg... that the fu.ck is that?" Scott asked, looking towards a pile of rocks. I followed his gaze and gasped as I spotted what looked like a long blue tail. The freaky thing was, attached to it was a sharp looking blade.

"Diana what are you doing?" Attie hissed as Di walked over to it. "Oh man.. guys come here!" Di exclaimed quietly.

We all crept silently over and my mouth fell open in shock. It looked like a half human half deer creature, with blue fur and for eyes. "It's hurt," Diana said, kneeling down to be level with it, "Clint, give me your bandanna."

I pulled my bandanna out of my pocket and handed it to her. "Di, be careful! It looks like it could knock you out easily," Scott said, obviously worried.

Diana tied my bandanna around it's injured arm. <Do not be afraid.>

I gasped. I know I heard that. Only I didn't exactly hear it. It was like, in my mind. "You heard that too?" Attie asked, looking wide eyed. I nodded.

<I am Elfangor,> the creature said, <An Andalite. I have come here to save your planet but I am too weak and near dying.>

"Save our planet from what?" Bob asked, know kneeling down beside Diana and... Elfangor. <The enemy. Yeerks. They are taking over the human race. They are parasites that control you through your brain. But there is little time. The Visser is coming.>

"What's a Visser?" Diana asked gently. <Visser 3 is the leader of the Yeerk Invasion. He's on his way. Quickly. Each of you, touch this box. Place your palm against it. It's the only protection I can give you. The power to morph. To acquire any animal's DNA and become it. But be warned. Never stay in morph for more than two hours or you shall be trapped in that form forver.>

*~*~*~*

I woke up the next morning groggily. Events of last night played through my head. I hadn't remembered how I'd gotten home. I crawled out of bed and looked at my clock. Only 10:30 am. I wonder if last night really happened. Can we change into animals? That would be cool!

"Hey Sparky," I smiled as my golden retriever bounded into my room. "Di, Mom says to feed Sparky," my sister announced and I nodded. "Ok ok."

She left and closed the door behind her. I smiled as Sparky jumped up onto my bed beside me. "Hey Sparky," I said, petting his fur gently. I concentrated on Sparky and gasped as I felt a tingling sensation throughout my body. Sparky whimpered gently and layed his head down as though he'd fallen into a sleep. I pulled my hand back and gasped.

Had it worked?

Only one way to know.

I hurried up and fed Sparky before going outside. I crouched in a dark corner and close my eyes, concentrating. I pictured Sparky in my mind. I felt this weird sensation throughout me. I could feel golden yellow fur sprouting from my skin. My bones creaked and shifted to form those of a dog. Strangely, it didn't hurt. Not one bit. My senses became sharper and I could hear and smell a whole lot clearer.

I felt this urge to run around suddenly and Elfangor's words came back to me: <When morphing, you also have the animal's instinct along with your own. You have to control it.>

That must've been Sparky's dog instinct. I concentrated harder and felt the dog side relax.

Woah... I'd done it. I'd morphed into a dog. This was so cool! I ran in the direction of Scott's house, eager to see if him or his brothers remembered last night. This was awesome.
