Cassie couldn't believe the grade she'd gotten on herr last history test. Her parents were not going to be happy, and she would probably end up grounded, which would make sneaking out for missions a pain. The youth emmited a sigh, she hated lying to her family as it was, and this test had only lead to more lues when theyy had asked her to explain how she had gotten such a poor grade. Luckily, the teacher had given her the option of working on an extra credit assignment. She had to make a diarama of the battle of Gettysburgh. Another sigh. Art projects had never been her strong suit.
She'd gone out the previous day to purchase her supplies, little army men (that probably weren't accurate for the civil war), popcicle sticks, paint, little toy cannons, and other various assorted items. Before her were spread the objects, laying upon a large sheet of foam she would use to build her diarama, as well as an open text book with a diagram of the battle. In her hand she held a bottle of glue and in the other was clasped a tiny military man.
"Great..." Again she sighed, not understanding the diagram at all. It was all about tactics, she supposed, and tactics had never been her strong suit either. Even in the Animorphs, it was Jake and Marco who handled the tactics most of the time, she just went with what they said.
