notice the paramedics and this crowd all
gathered around the Cinnabon."
Marco is one of my human friends. He is
shorter than some humans of his age. He has
dark hair and dark eyes and likes to make
jokes. Jokes are humor. Humor is more
common among humans than among Andalites.
I think they have to resort to humor. It helps
them deal with the embarrassment of being so wobbly on
their two ridiculous legs.
"And I swear, it was like this sudden, psychic
feeling. I knew, I mean, I knew somehow
the Ax-man was involved. So I go over and ask
someone in the crowd what's happening. And she
says--"
"She?" Rachel interrupted. "Let me
guess. Some good-looking girl who normally would
never even talk to you? But you figured since there's
a medical emergency that would be a good time to hit
on her?"
"Exactly," Marco said.
Rachel is a female. She has gold
hair and blue eyes. She is tall for her
age.
"Anyway, she tells me, "Some kid went
crazy and ate an entire pan of cinnamon
buns." Now, who, I ask you all, who do
we know who would eat an entire pan of cinnamon
buns?"
Marco, Rachel, and the others--Prince
Jake, Cassie, and Tobias--all looked
at me and stretched their mouths horizontally
to make grins. All except Tobias, who is
a nothlit: a person trapped in morph. He
is a hawk and has no lips.
I felt I had to say something. 8I was not
aware of the precise specifications for human
stomachs,"; I explained. 8It seems there is
some sort of limit on the quantity that may be
consumed. Passing that limit caused an
unpleasant sensation in the stomach area. It also
caused me to become dizzy.";
"The sugar rush of all time," Cassie said.
Cassie is no taller than Marco. She
has dark hair and eyes. Cassie is very
interested in animals. By "animals,"
humans mean all animals aside from themselves.
I was out of my human morph and back in my
own body. We were in the forest that begins at the edge
of Cassie's farm. This is where I live.
