the bait

[instar]

Now that Trouble is back, the limiting factor on bear and elephant acquisition is just the availability of those of the Animorphs who experience nonzero parental supervision. There is a coincidence of Renée being out well past zoo closing time and Robin's mother being occupied the day after Trouble's return.

Everybody morphs pigeons and they fly to the zoo. The three of them that are going to get bears head for the bear enclosure, and Trouble, of course, is the bait.

"Okay. We'll see you guys later, then."

"All right."

In that case, Robin and Ethan will go and grab the rest of their clothes out of the basement.

And Trouble will follow them. To help. Yes.

About twenty minutes later, a pigeon flutters out of the basement.

And Robin and Ethan, fully dressed and quite tidy, follow it out.

[instar]

"Bye."

[pandion]

"Bye, guys."

[hold_infinity]

"Bye," says Robin.

And they're off.
