♥ MUSIC FICTION >>> ANIMPORPHS >>> CHAPTER 004
"Awww, c'mon Scotty," I said, taking his hand in mine, "Let's go to the Clinic. I think my parents brought in all kinds of birds of prey yesterday. You could morph into one of them."
Scott looked a bit nervous but nodded. "Okay." I smiled and squeezed his hand reassuringly. Once we got to the Clinic, I closed and locked the door behind us.
"Wow," Scott breathed, looking around at all the birds, "We can actally become all or any of these animals?"
I nodded, leading him over to a Peregrine Falcon. "This is Misty," I said, stroking the bird's feathers gently. Scott smiled. "She won't bite off my fingers or anything, will she?" he asked and I laughed. "No she won't. Mostly all the animals here are tame," I assured him.
He nodded. "So, I just touch it?" he asked. I nodded. "Yes. Touch it and think about the animal." He nodded and swallowed hard, gently touching the bird's feathers and concentrating. He gasped and opened his eyes.
"Oh god... I could feel that," he breathed, looking at me. I smiled and nodded.
"Ready to morph?" I asked and he nodded slowly. "Do it with me?" he asked. I nodded. "Ok. I already acquired a Bald Eagle," I smiled, pointing to the Eagle's cage. Scott nodded and closed his eyes, concentrating.
I did the same and felt myself shrink down quickly. It looked as though I was falling towards the ground. My bones creaked and stretched and hollowed out. Feather patterns appeared over my skin, and suddenly they popped out, becoming real feathers. My hearing and sight sharpened greatly.
When it was complete I looked over at Scott, who now stood as a Peregrine Falcon. <Scott?> I asked, and he gasped suddenly. <Oh god... I did it. I'm a bird!> He exclaimed and I could hear the surprize in his voice.
I smiled mentally. <Scott, wanna fly?> I asked.
<Oh man. Yes!> he replied excitedly. <Awesome. How about we head back to your place? Have some fun and freak your brothers out,> I said.
<Totally! Let's go,> Scott said, flapping his wings and flying out of the Clinic. I followed. It was so amazing. If you caught a termal, which is a warm breeze of wind that lifts you into the air, you could fly so high over the city.
<This is amazing,> Scott breathed, <There's my house. Clint and Bob are in the kitchen. I can actually see them from this far away.>

I smiled as I walked towards the Moffatt's house. I didn't really mind the fact that we could become animals, and I wanted to see if they wanted to head over to Diana's parent's Animal Clinic to try it out.
I knocked on the door and smiled as Clint answered. "Hey Attie," he grinned, "C'mon in."
I smiled and went in. "Where is everyone?" I asked, noticing how quiet it was. "Well, Scott and Di went off somewhere and Dave and Tasha went somewhere, but Bob's in the kitchen," he explained.
I nodded and we went into the kitchen and sat down with Bob at the table. "Hey Attie," he grinned.
"Hey," I smiled, "You guys wanna hit the Animal Clinic with me today?"
"Sure," Bob grinned, "We were gonna go there anyways."
A loud banging on the window startled us. "Oh my god, what's that?" Clint asked. Bob got up and opened the window, and two huge birds of prey flew in and landed on the floor.
