I'm Jamie.

I can't tell you anything else about me. There's no time for that. I also can't tell you where we are. We're already working on a strict time schedule as it is.

I guess I should start at the beginning. It's quicker that way. I will start off by saying this: there are aliens, and they are among us, cheesy as it sounds. They could be your teacher, your neighbor, or even your father. It's not a pleasant thought, I understand. The time for pleasantries is not now.

It all started late one Friday night. I had gone to the movies with a friend of mine, Ryan. He's a year older than me, with spiky brown hair. Of course, I don't spend much time focusing on his hair; my schedule has no time for that. My schedule also didn't include time to wait for him to refill his soda and go to the bathroom after the movie. Also at the theater was Liz, the sister of my little sister's friend, Annie. I think my mom sent her to pick us up. I hadn't asked yet. I thought I recognized someone else from my school over in the corner, but I wasn't paying attention to much other than my watch.

I adjusted my cap. This was so annoying, just waiting for him to get done. I hoped he would be much longer; I still had to finish writing a paper, and I had a soccer game early the next day. I was tempted to yell at him into the bathroom, but decided against it. No time for it, and I didn't want to embarrass him. Still, I wanted him to hurry up.

Okay guys, I'm sorry for just writing them into the scene, but with the first-person writing style, written to attempt to re-create the feel of the Animorphs, I wanted to establish that, yes, they're at the theater at this moment. The opening text, where the name is introduced and stuff, doesn't need to be introduced, and the alien thing I'd prefer not to do because it's been established. Now, when we get passed the first mission, I'm thinking of having us re-start the intro, as if we're starting a new book. Up to you guys.

My name is Ryan.

I wish i could tell you more, but lately, i don't know who i can trust anymore. It's sad, because i used to be a pretty positive guy. However, current events have changed that. As such, you'll just have to do with "Ryan".

By now, you're propably thinking: "Okay, what's this guy's problem? Is he paranoid or something?". Well, i guess you could say that. I have my reasons though...

In any case, let me just start this story...

It was a friday night, and i went to the movies with my friend, Jamie. I may have had one too many sodas though... I could just see tapping his foot as i was doing my business in the bathroom. Jamie's a pretty nice guy, though he tends to be a bit impatient at times. When i was done, i flushed the toilet, washed my hands and left the bathroom.

I nodded at Jamie, then asked "So, what now?".

Hi, I'm Alex,

You've probably read my associates introductions already, but just in case you haven't, let me summarise real quick

We're screwed.

Now to elaborate, I suppose I should start from the time I found out just how royally (bleep!)ed we are.

So anyway I- hang on! Why are you still reading this? Why haven't you lit yourself on fire and started running naked down the streets singing Mary had a little lamb?

Oh, RIGHT, because you're not me.

Come to think of it, that gives me an idea for something to do on this years prom, I just need some gasoline and- Wait where was I?

Oh that's right, Impending Doom

So anyway, I was at the mall, walking home after a late Magic The Gathering tournament (I won't bore you with the details, suffice to say that I came third)

Anyway, I had stopped to catch my breath after running through the mall, I remember seeing a couple of kids from my year about a few metres away from me, and an older girl I recognised from a drama group I had tried to sign up for, only to find out that they were full. Anyway, I decided to observe them, thinking it might be somewhat amusing.

I'd been waiting across from the theater for about ten minutes when I saw Jamie and Ryan walk out. Ryan went ahead and hurried off into the bathroom while Jamie waited. He doesn't like doing that. Then again, who really does?

It's not that they were running late, but more that I decided to leave five minutes early so that I knew I'd be there on time. Which means that the delay I was expecting didn't happen, as always. I'd stopped by the bookstore, but hadn't actually picked anything up today. See, I'd occassionally pick up my sister Annie and her friend Alexandra. So I'd been asked to make sure Jamie got home without any trouble. We all lived close enough that I decided to walk over - after all, I was planning on running out anyway.

When I saw that Jamie had seen me, I started to head over to him. We had some pretty good timing, as Ryan was just coming out of the bathroom when I got there.

"So, what now?" Ryan asked Jamie, apparantly not having noticed me.

"Well, your mom said to make sure that you got home safely," I let Jamie know. He's barely younger than me - I'm not going to lie about why I was here. "Oh, and to say that I was headed home anyway and something about walking with you since we're going the same direction."

"So, what now?" Ryan asked as he walked out of the bathroom. I was about to answer, when I heard Liz start. As much as I'd like to interrupt, politeness requires I don't. Besides, even if Liz and I didn't know each other that well, we were still polite acquaintances.

"There's a shortcut through the construction site," I responded, not bothering with formalities. We knew each other well enough. Besides, I don't have time for this. "If you plan on walking with us, I suggest you go with us through there." With that thought, I started walking out of the mall. It wasn't like I was walking that fast, but I had places to be. I adjusted my baseball cap on the way out, as it seemed to have gone crooked while I was waiting.

I nodded. "That's propably the fastest route. If nothing unexpected happens, that is." I followed Jamie out of the mall. I looked up at the nightly sky. "It's big, isn't it. Makes you wonder if we really are the only ones out there... Then again, it's very unlikely that we'll ever meet anything, let alone a sapient race." I shrugged. I was talking without reason again, a habit most people find annoying. I didn't really care though; it was a part of me i couldn't just turn off.

And I thought I'd be making a foreshadowy comment...

I let the guys go ahead - they seemed to be in a bit of a rush. Plus I had a song stuck in my head, so I knew I'd be walking a bit oddly - to the beat. Between that and Ryan's comments, I let my mind run, following them while paying just enough attention to my surroundings to avoid any serious danger or injury.

Ryan seemed to have a bit of my train of thought. Difference was, he expressed it more often. Jamie tended to be a bit shorter with people. It wasn't aggressive or mean, but if you were in a bad mood to start with, he wouldn't be the best person to talk to.

Not that some of my friends weren't that way when they were younger. I figured that he'd relax a little eventually, he just needed to grow up a bit.

Having given some thought on Ryan's comment, I thought I'd respond. "Wouldn't something unexpected slow us down regardless of which way we went?"

" The girl's got a point there." I said, speaking up for the first time. "The laws of irony dictate, that whatever decision you make, something is going to make you regret it, it's like Schrodingers Cat"

"Schrodinger's cat was just an thought experiment that says that unless we directly observe something, the outcome cannot be resolved," I responded. I, quite frankly, didn't care if he was coming with us or not, as long as he didn't slow us down. Still, I thought I'd clarify. "It says nothing about regretting anything, unless you regret killing cats. Well, if Ryan finds out, you will, but regardless."

"And statistically, it's next to impossible for us to be the only life in the universe," I continued, "It'd just take too long for me to want to find out." I came to a fence that lead to construction site. I stopped for just a moment, mostly to check if Ryan was with me; he was the only guest I'd counted on, and thus deserved a bit of respect. Plus, he was my friend. Then, I started to climb the fence.

"Either you guys can climb after me," I said as I climbed, "Or you can wait for Ryan to unlock the gate." It was no secret that I had taken this route many times, most of them with Ryan. He was one of my better friends, and thus I had taken it a few times. I used to have to unlock the door for him since it took him a while to get over the fence, but when he started getting faster it just became more practical to skip that step.

"Boring" I said, and began to climb the fence. When I reached the top, I grabbed onto the other side, using the leverage to swing my legs up into the air, pseudoflipping over the fence.

I stood up from my crouch

"Oh and by the way, in the case of Schrodingers Cat, I was refering to the mutability of this situation, if we choose to go this way, it will turn out we should have gone the other way, but conversely, if we go the other way, it will turn out we should have gone THIS way. However, until such time as the decision is actually made, the bad way is neither this way or that way. Just as, with Schrodingers Cat, until the cat is actually removed from the box, it is neither dead nor alive"

"Kill the Tuesday oranges." I added

"Mostly I was just saying that it was an unneccessary condition. Like saying I might find a dollar on the street. Unless I get a ride." I replied. It wasn't that I didn't enjoy the discussion, just that I was coming from a different frame of mind.

As I climbed, slower than the guys - I'd blame it on being so long since I was climbing over fences regularly, but it had more to do with being off the ground on something so relatively flimsy - I thought more about the comments.

"Besides, the laws of irony probably do say that whatever result you observe in the cat will be the one that you don't want. Though I'm sure the cat itself would disagree."

I smiled as my random comment somehow evolved into a completely random discussion about Schrodinger's Cat. You know, the first time I heard about it, I thought it was just some guy's cat. Then I heard it was about some kind of weird psychological experiment that didn't actually use any real cats, and I was disappointed. Then I heard it was about the life or death of said cat, and I was glad again. I mean, who in their right minds would harm a kitty, let alone kill it? Let me just say this: If I ever find out that YOU do, you're not going to be happy.
...You know what, never mind that. As i said before, I tend to ramble about anything that crosses my mind.

We reached the construction site. As expected, it was fenced off. Not that that was going to stop me or Jamie though. We've been through here a lot before, and though it took me long enough for Jamie to get impatient and somehow open the lock (I still don't know how he does that without a key and without anyone noticing the next day.), I got better and faster over time. Without any real effort whatsoever I climbed the fence, spinning my body over the top and releasing at the top of my twist, sending my body flying like one of those athletes at the parallel bars. Also like those athletes, I landed nicely on both feet. Of course, there wasn't any reason to do this, but it sure looked cool, so hey.

Double Post of Plot Advancement+1 go!

As I turned around to see if everyone else made it over the fence, I saw it. It's hard to describe in just words, but it looked like some kind of X-shaped light right below the moon. As I wondered what it could be, it became brighter and brighter, the 'arms' of the X becoming shorter while the dot was growing larger.
"What the... Wow, guy, look at that!", I said, pointing at the now quite large...whatever it was. "...You know, I don't think we should be standing here.". I'm not sure if anyone even heard that, because about halfway through that sentence a thundering noise filled the night. Then this... thing shot over us, clearing half of the construction site before crashing into one of the shacks, utterly annihalating it. Whatever it was, in the split-second i saw it i knew it couldn't just be a meteor. If anything, it looked like a military plane or something, but those aren't supposed to be in outer space.
"...What the hell was that?". I felt weird. Just about every fiber in my body was shouting to get out of there. Whatever just crashed couldn't possibly be good. On the other hand, it was clear that whatever that thing was was not natural, and judging by the size of it it's unlikely that it was unmanned too. In that case, that would mean that someone might be hurt. I ended up walking towards the crash site.

And that is when my life changed forever...

I ran towards the crash site, easily over taking the others who were still in shock I slammed to a halt when I reached the site, bent double and gasping for breath. I was about to look over my shoulder to see how far behind the others were, when I heard movement coming from inside the craft.

For once in my life, something actually made me stop and stare. For once in my life, I had absolutely no words, polite or otherwise. That was the crash my friends mentioned.

I'm not sure what just happened. I'll admit it, I have absolutely no clue what's going on. That annoys me to no end, and thus, my feet began to walk in the direction of the crash, just as Ryan's. I'm not sure which happened first: my decision to go, or my feet, but whichever way you squeeze it, I'm going now.

"Alex?" I called as he ran passed me. Why would he run towards it...? Oh wait, I'm headed that way, anyway. I ran in his direction, too, not to be outdone. I reached just in time to notice movement inside the ship... (Wait, it's a ship? Why didn't I notice that when it fell?)

If anyone wants to have been next to Liz and helped down when she ducks, feel free to put it in, otherwise, she ducked herself

I had been enjoying the discussion, putting the sound of cars and trucks behind me to the back of my mind. When we began to walk closer to the center of the construction site, I saw Ryan turn and point at something behind me. After a moment of confusion, I turned and saw the ship descending either uncontrollably or unaware of our presence. "Oh, sh...", I quietly exclaimed as I took to the ground, trying to be sure that it would clear us. After the ground shook and the area lit up, I raised my eyes from my arm.

Had it been just me there, I don't know if I would have investigated it. Maybe, assuming I could make myself move. But when the first thing I saw was the others running towards the crash, I had to follow. I still can't tell you if I regret it or not.

I ignored the presence of Jamie next to me and continued staring at what I guessed was the ships hatch. There was nothing but the dull clanging from inside, but suddenly a hiss was heard. The hairs on my neck bristled in apprehension, as white smoke poured out of the gaps in the opening hatch. I coughed out some of the smoke, but otherwise continued staring at the entrance. I even ignored the presence of Liz and Ryan arriving.

Except to mutter " I hate you SO much" at Ryan.

A much louder clang brought my attention back to the ship and....

It was not human. Whatever that thing was it was clearly NOT human.

Crap! Can I out run it!? Wait there's a broken pipe over there I can use as a weap- Idiot! You know just because it's not human doesn't mean it's a threat! Or are you going to be like those xenophobic retards in the movies, who always shoot at any alien they see, regardless of said aliens actual disposition!?

My internal monologue had momentarily distracted me from the happenings at the crash site, but my... "associates" reactions brought me back to reality. I looked at the alien, it seemed to be some weird cross between a blue centaur and a scorpion.

On a whim, I stepped forward, deciding to be the first to speak.

As I did so, the momentuous nature of the occasion dawned on me. This would be the first ever contact between humans and aliens. I would have to choose my words carefully, so that their profound nature could ring throughout the years to come.

"Are you a pinata?" I asked the alien

I haven't read the books in ages so sorry if I Rp Elfangor poorly.

Elfangor stared at the human standing before him. He was still in shock. How could he have known that he would be ambushed like this? He shouldn't have underestimated the yeerks. He did not know who had attacked him, but he had a hunch. At this point, he heard the human's question.

<Am I a what?>

Elfangor spoke, but without moving his mouth, for he didn't have one. Instead, he projected the thought into the mind of those surrounding him, specifically at the human that had asked the odd question.

I stepped back, reeling in shock at the aliens unexpected means of communication.

I relaxed quickly though.

"A pinata is a type of human toy" I explained

The aliens expression informed me that, if he had been in possession of a mouth, it would be hanging wide open.

<....>

<....>

<wha...I...you... how...you...I...ju...wha...I...wha....ju...I...wha?>

I chuckled to myself.

Breaking the brain of a super advanced lifeform through sheer inanity. God I'm so awesome! Then again maybe the blood loss has something to do wi- Wait What!!

I realised my analysis was correct, the aliens fur was matted in sticky red blood (yes I know half of you will think "Don't aliens have green blood?" newsflash genius. It's a mammal not a plant) just so you know, I was speaking in character there. And as the alien tried to move, it's wounded legs collapsed, dumping the body to the ground. I immediately rushed over to it, but when I got to it My gaze locked on the lethal looking tail. And I realised with horror that I didn't actually know that this thing wasn't a threat.

But now I was to close to run.

Oh well. It's not like my death will be any great loss.

"How badly are you hurt?" I asked the alien.

As i approached the craft, I noticed that it couldn't possibly be earthborn. For one, anything made here would've been blown to pieces by crashlanding like that. This thing barely seemed scratched. My suspicions were then confirmed as a hatch opened up and revealed... something. I had absolutely no idea what it was, but it seemed like some kind of weird fusion of a centaur and a scorpion, only blue. "What in the world..."

"Are you a pinata?", I heard some guy say. I facepalmed. "A pinata? Really? We are maybe the first humans to ever meet extraterrestial life, and you ask if it's a pinata? It propably doesn't even know what that is. I then heard a voice in my head. <"Am I a what?"> "Whoa, did anyone else just hear that?" As I saw the being collapsed, covered in blood, i pretty much stopped caring about what it was. All I knew was that it needed help, badly. I hurried over to the being's side, then realized that I couldn't exactly do anything without bandage. Besides, I didn't even knew what it was, let alone anything about it's physiology. Still, there had to be something I could do... First things first, that bleeding needed to be stopped. ...Except for that it was bleeding all over. "What happened to you? Do you have a first aid kit in your... ship somewhere, or any kind of medical equipment?"

Elfangor noticed the human's kindness, but he knew that there was no way he could survive.

< Thankyou for your sympathy but... It is too late for me. I will die soon even if you do tend to my wounds. That is why I must give you a warning... and a mission. I come from a race called Andalites. We are currently fighting a war with the yeerks, a race of parasitic beings that take over the mind of their host.>

Elfangor paused for a second. He was feeling rather lightheaded.

<Your world has been invaded by them.>
