I know, right, if they were asking her doesn't that make her a Controller? So she can press the button that lets them in? x3
In sixth grade art class we all had to make these cheesy papier mache models of people, so I made mine of Rachel in spandex frozen in this running stance (still have it around here somewhere, heheh). One of my (non-Animorphs-reading) friends in the class, who had blonde hair, looked over and saw that I was making a model of a girl with blonde hair, and she was all like "hey, is that me?" And I just snickered. "Nope, it's Animorphs." "Figures."
