WOMAN'S VOICE:
"May 17, 1996. It was the day we first learned of the invasion. The day we first
met, Jake, Rachel, Marco, Cassie and Tobias. Since then we've learned much about the Yeerks and
Visser Three and we also met some allies like Ax and the Chee. We learned a lot and they've won
many battles. There is reason to celebrate. As a matter of fact, the year 2000 Animorphs Party
Winner is celebrating with his family and friends right now (shows a pic of Andrew M.). But we
can't tell you where. So, you've read the books and watched the TV show, whats next? Is there a
key to changing your world? According to K.A. Applegate, it's learning as much as possible and
keeping a great sense of humor. Here's K.A. and a young friend with a millenium message recorded
for Animorphs Funniest Home Videos."
"I'm K.A. (laughing), oh dear, OK (beep). (clears throat) Hi. I'm K- (laughing) (beep). Hi
I'm K.A. Applegate, thanks for joining us here today (laughing) (beep). Rolling? O.K. Hi, I'm
K.A. Applegate, thanks for joining us today. Thanks for (very big laughter) over the last three
and a half years (beep). A new
millennium doesn’t roll on every year, in fact, I believe it is several hundred years between millennium.
Math was never my best subject (laughter) to think about
(laughter). That's pathetic. You know, I could get a kid from the neighborhood to do this better (beep)."
"Hi, I’m KA Applegate, Thanks for joining us here today, and thanks for supporting Animorphs for the last 3½ years. A new
millennium doesn’t roll on every year, in fact, I believe it is several hundred years between millennium. Maths was never my best
subject. But every time it the 00s turn on the callender it is a good time to think about what has been and what could be. A new
Millenium always holds up hope that that True and Fictional may at last be conquered. That peace may come both in the place
we never name, and that all places get named on the evening news. But how ever mutch we have for the new millennium, we
have to be ready to act, in order to know what is right, we need to make a change, to make the world a better place. You have to
start with learning, knowledge, and knowledge is pretty much all you know, read everything, read books, read everything, read
newspapers, read tomalears, read the tabloids at the supermarket check out, no, wait I read those, read at home, read on the bus,
the more you read the more you’ll know. At the end of every day, you should be able to think , hey I know something I didn’t know
yesterday, why? Because the more you read, the more ready you’ll be for everything that happens, in your life. Like the new
invasion for example, now go, and read a book and join the the millennium, bye!"
"That was incredible (laughs)"
"And that's the last we're likely to see of K.A. Applegate, on video anyway. So arm yourself with
knowledge and a sense of humor and on January 1, 2000 visit the Animorphs web site. Use
knowledge as your password to gain entry into an all new Animorphs Virtual Time Capsule. It
will feature 200 messages to Animorphs fans for the new millenium. So the more we know, the more
we can change."
