Iikka probably wouldn't hold being spoiled against Theo, given that he himself also comes from a well-to-do family. It shows in how even though Iikka's parents barely acknowledge his existence, he still manages to make do just fine. He isn't so much as he is merely , so he wouldn't care that Theo doesn't sports. Theo has a fairly balanced dismeanor that I think would disarm Iikka - he's smart, but not excessive chatty or extroverted like Maxine is. He also tends to stand out, but he's not particularly well liked - which Iikka can probably sympathize with.

I think it would be a large stretch to call them friends at the start, but other than Jason I think Iikka would think more of Theo than the others.[/quote]

Fair enough, I do like the idea of Theo and Iikka being united by their situations.

Speaking of which: If DotCom approves Theo quickly enough, we could potentially have either Mario/Maxine or Iikka/Jason swoop by him for X reason and have him be with everyone at the construction site, rather than having to find an excuse to introduce him to the morphing cube later.

Well, then you just have to post slower. ;)

Actually, I have it in mind that Theo gets to the mall himself and winds up behind Max and Mario at GameStop. It'll probably work itself out from there. 

The same thought had occurred to me, and I was worried before I noticed how far you guys were in the story. Since nobody has even reached the construction site yet, I think there's still plenty of ways for Theo to get in on Team Animorphs, OG.
