*The story begins on the Andalite home world. We see here a scoop - the scoop of Alandris-Eshalla-Eilshalti's family. Alandris is not military personnel and may never be. She spends most of her days, lazing about.*
Alandris: I am lying down on my side resting. I'm probably the laziest Andalite you'll ever meet. I recently left school and I spend most of my days just doing nothing. I know, such laziness is uncharacteristic of an Andalite. Most Andalite's really are intelligent, hardworking creatures. I don't want you to think badly of my species because of how lazy and useless I am.
Right now, my sister Genalda is looking at me with disgust as usual, and our youngest sibling, my sister Farilda is just observing me.
Farilda is so strange. She has these large eyes and when she looks at you, she can just read you. It bothers me when she looks at me that way. I wish she'd just go play somewhere.
<What are you looking at, Little one?> I ask, without malice.
<You're very strange, Alandris.>
I feel a little embarrassed now. <Why would you say something like that, Fari?>
<Well...you're different from other Andalites. I don't know how. But you just are...>
Unsettled, I shift a bit and look away from her.
<Go out and play Farilda,> I tell her.
<Eww! Alandris you look like a cheap prostitute lying that way!> My middle sister, Genalda cries.
I am lying on my side, which is innappropriate for a proper Andalite. You are supposed to "recline" on your belly if your body even touches the ground at all. We usually sleep standing up, Andalites, but I am lying on my side simply because I'm lazy.
<Be quiet Genalda! Mother! Genalda said I looked like a cheap prostitute!>
<Well,> my mother says, looking at me for a moment. <You do reclining that way, don't you?> Then she goes back to her studies.
My sister laughs. I use my tail to flick a disk off of one of the shelves nearby. It strikes her right under the eye.
<Ah!> She cried out. <Mother! Alandris hurt me!>
<Oh I wish you two would leave me be!> My mother says with a sigh. Which is fine with me. Any time my mother is not nagging me is a good time indeed.
I get up to leave.
Genalda:
My sister gets up to leave and I find another opportunity to get Mother on to her - I know that's why she's leaving! To get away from being nagged, which she fully deserves!
Alandris is such an embarrassment to me! I often wish she could just act like a mature adult already and do something with her life! But no, she spends all day lazing about instead! I'm always glad when my friends don't come over to our scoop because of her!
I know I shouldn't feel about my sister this way, but still...it's very hard not to, and Alandris certainly makes it that way!
<Mother! Alandris is running off!>
<Oh, leave her be,> and suddenly I am jealous. My mother always takes Alandris' side in anything! If Alandris had an affair and left a resulting child from it around the scoop, mother would make me take care of it and she wouldn't say a thing to Alandris - she would probably just nag her!
I'll update more later. ! I'm going to need someone to play Estrid soon, so if you're interested please let me know with a pm or an email some time soon!
