"It's an entertainment event!" Marco cried. "A major, major event.
Stars! Famous people!

6 Millionaires! Babes! A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Ax-man
to see Bruce and Demi."

Cassie giggled out loud, then tried to look serious. Tobias, the
remaining member of our group, was about a hundred feet above us,
floating on a nice warm current of air. He was watching out for any
intruders who might get close enough to notice that we were walking
around with an An-dalite.

In case you've never seen an Andalite, and of course you haven't, they
look like a strong blue deer with a mouth less face, with two extra eyes
mounted on stalks, weak, human-looking arms, and a vicious scorpionlike
tail.

So you can see why we'd want Tobias aloft to keep an eye open. A hawk's
eye, no less, which meant no one was going to be sneaking up on us.

Jake nodded at Marco, totally unimpressed. He cocked a skeptical eyebrow
at me. "And you figure the human culture Ax needs to be exposed to is
Bruce Willis playing a harmonica? Come on, spill it. Why are you into
this, Rachel?"

"The whole cultural thing. . . . Okay, look, as part of the deal they're
having a fashion show. Ralph Lauren. You know how I feel about Ralph
Lauren."

"Oh, man."

"Plus . . ." Marco said, letting the word hang in the air.

7 "Plus what?" Jake demanded.

I sighed. "Okay, Lucy Lawless is going to be there, too. But that's not
why I want to go."

Jake looked puzzled.

"Lucy Lawless," Marco said. "She's the actress who plays Xena: Warrior
Princess. Rachel's role model."

Okay, Xena is not my role model. That's just some stupid thing Marco
made up. He calls me "Xena" to grind my nerves. Marco is good at
grinding people's nerves. It's his specialty. If you could get paid for
being annoying, Marco would be a millionaire.

But this wasn't the time to slam Marco.
