Book 9: The Secret

So, so we, we open The Secret with Rachel and Cassie hanging out at the school, probably the most common location other than the mall and the armory.

Um, so-

God, our, our favorite...

Everybody's favorite.

Let's, let's do the most irresponsible thing we can do with morphing at any given time.

I fu- I fucking love it.

[laughs]

It's such a race to the bottom of how stupid we can have a discharge of our magic space weapon.

[laughs]

Yep.

Yep.

So Cassie got a D on her science, uh, exam about rats in a maze, where she's trying to guide rats in a maze through, uh, smelling some cheese, and is trying to figure out why it's not working.

So her and Rachel, in the quest to get a good, a good grade, decide to morph rats and figure out what's going on, even though Jake has decreed that there should be no morphing unless absolutely necessary, but Rachel is a bad influence.

Like, like the, the thing that I love about this is...

So it's like Rachel and Cassie you would think would be, like, a very responsible team.

Uh, and I don't just say that because of, you know, the inherent superiority of all women.

But I, I [laughs] think that, like, this is the dumbest one yet, because while turning into an elephant and threatening a zookeeper or half turning into an elephant to threaten, like, a, a potential rapist, [laughs] or fucking doing the elephant bird attack on the car lot, no one's keeping watch.

There's no exit strategy.

[laughs] They just turn into rats in the school that they go to, which they also know used to and possibly just now has a different jerk pool entrance.

[laughs] And-

Yeah

... their assistant principal is the fu- is, like, the, the second in line in this fucking area.

This isn't-

Yeah, the devil

...
