NTAG Adventures
Memories
"Oi! Dragonfly!" A voice penetrated the daze thaat captured an elfmaiden warrior.
"Huh? Oh, hey Nano," Dragonfly said as her eyes refocused.
"What? You didn't hear me?" A Blue Shoyru holding a cheese mallat asked her.
"Well... no. No I didn't." Dragonfly sighed, she has having a good day dream.
"What were you day-dreaming about? Got a secret crush? Perhaps cheese? Gouda? I can hook you guys up!" The Blue Shoyru persisted.
"No, no. I was just think about when I first joined NTAG. I really haven't noticed how... well strange it was," Dragonfly answered.
"How so?" A blonde-haired human walked through a door, clutching a steel-coated pillow.
Scary, that pillow. Tried to bite off Dragonfly's foot off once. Not that it was unusual.
"Well..."
(Vision blurs and you see into the past! Or... just a memory)
----------------
"I refuse to go. I'm not going to... NO PLEASE DON'T!"
Too late. The guild had been deleted and a golden-brown haired girl was left standing at an empty space in the Guild Houses. The girl sighed. She had just been in a great guild. But the guild leader started to miss a few days. And then another. Until she finally came back one day. And unfortunately deleted the private guild. Only a few active members were still standing there. Then, they departed to find another one. Some of the power-hungry members shouted in frustration.
"I guess it just wasn't meant to be..." The girl sighed and stooped off.
"I guess we'll have to find a new guild! I never liked that one, you know. The members there always said how cute I was. Pathetic and inferior humans. Uh... I mean annoying members." A yellow Lupe mentioned to his owner, Dragonfly.
A frown appeared on Dragonfly's face. Silently she shook her head. The Lupe could see that they were heading for the exit, into the world of Neopia.
"N-o spells no. Remember what I said when I joined this guild? This would be the last. I'm sick of searching for a guild that is postively perfect for me. I found it and it has been deleted. I guess that... I'll just make... make... friends outside of guilds. I mean, who needs a guild, anyways?" Dragonfly tried to cheer herself up.
"You do. The last time we tried going without a guild you about died of boredom. The only thing that kept you going was the lab map. That's not going to happen again!" At this the Lupe cut in front of Dragonfly, causing her to stop.
Dragonfly sighed. Nithe was a stubborn Lupe. There was absolutely no arguing with him.
"Alright, but if we don't find a guild today, I'm going to go back to Terror Mountain where we are supposed to live." Dragonfly said in a sigh and turned around.
Nithe sighed. Dragonfly was a stubborn person. There was absolutely no arguing with her. And so they walked. And walked. And even jogged a bit. They at first searched the private guilds seeing if they had what was needed to join at the least. Then they started to go to the public guilds. Dragonfly didn't like these guilds very much. They tended to be deleted or remain unactive. They passed a few guilds that looked a bit interesting. But only to find that you had be active so much that you couldn't sleep. Or they found a cool plant and garden guild only to find that it had been unactive for about eight months. It was five hours past when they started looking. It was starting to get dark.
"Let's face it Nithe, there's no use. There is no guild that right for me," Dragonfly said in a sigh and they stalked off to Terror Mountain.
On the ferry, Dragonfly bought a Neopian Times Issue. Reading through some of the stuff, she tossed it on the chair next to her. Nithe picked it up. He was about to start on a story, when he noticed the author. Nimras23. He'd seen her before. As always, he was a fan of her stories for they contained many Lupes. Going to the bottom where Nimras kept her author's notes, he noticed the letters "NTAG".
"Aha!"
"What'd ya say Nithe?" Dragonfly said with a bit of a start.
"Wha- oh nothing!" Nithe grinned.
That night, Nithe, a sly Lupe, snuck out of the house and made his way onto a ferry headed for Neopia Central. Snow coated the Lupe's fur and it soon melted as he arrived at Neopia Central.
"Sir, do you know what time it is?" Nithe asked the ferry captain.
"Yes."
"..."
"And?"
"Oh! It's 1:25 A.M. NST."
"Thank you."
Right on time, Nithe thought. Swiftly, he headed for the Guild Section of Neopia Central. Nithe pushed the large gate open and ran down the street. Most of the guild houses looked dark and uninviting. Nithe scurried past them, his prize not far. After about five minutes of sprinting, he was coming to the back section. Soon, a large intimidating building came into view. One word was said.
"NTAG."
-------------------------
"So it was Nithe who suggested NTAG?" Nano asked.
A few more members had joined the room. There was Meep, a hyper-active silver Lupess. And Nut had came in and listened too.
"More of like forced it upon me." Dragonfly smiled.
"So continue, continue," Sage insited.
---------------------------
"Can you take this stupid blindfold off me?"
Dragonfly grew more disgruntled by the second. Nithe took it off and soon the light began to seep into Dragonfly's eyes. A large building came into view, obstructing the sun.
"Nithe, what is this supposed to be?" Dragonfly asked, though she already knew the answer.
"Your new community!" He said cheerfully and began pulling her to the entrance.
"What! Wait! Let go of me!" Dragonfly struggled, but it was no use. Nithe was much heavier and stronger than she was. "I refuse to do it. I know nothing of this guild!"
"Don't care. Now join, human." Nithe growled. He never got the fact that humans were the owners, not the pets.
Sighing, Dragonfly walked up to the elegant door. It looked strangely new, even though it said it was founded on December 13th, 2001. Dragonfly looked up at the door in wonder. Each guild had a different way of joining. The one she was in previous had her trace the door with her membership card and say the words that were written upon the card. She stared at the sign that read 'New Members Join Here' with a big arrow pointing down. Dragonfly looked down and saw a drawer. Opening it, she found a golden quill laying at rest. Dragonfly picked it up and was about to start writing, when the quill wriggled out of her hand. And to Dragonfly's astonishment, so did her membership card! The quill began to write on the card in neat cursive, that oddly represented the cursive in the Neopian Times. The quill then went back to the drawer and it shut itself. Dragonfly grabbed her card from the air. It read:
Member: AquaBlueDragonfly
Rank: Suscriber
Post(s): 0
Status: active
Joined: 10/02/2005
"Well... here goes nothing. And Nithe! No funny business. The moment I find something I don't like, we're leaving. Got that?" Dragonfly pointed a finger at him.
"Yes, ma'am." Nithe said mockingly.
With a deep breath, Dragonfly opened the door. Dragonfly expected either a room full of literary writers or an empty room in an unactive guild. What she didn't expect is to have a meepit, the biggest one she ever saw, narrowly missing her head. In the whole meepit versus feepit ordeal, Dragonfly mainly remained neutral. But this meepit apparantly didn't seem to know that as it quickly began trying to gnaw off her leg. Dragonfly shook the meepit off sending it flying towards the other side of the room.
"Well, this is interesting. See ya, Dragonfly." And with that, Nithe dashed off to cause havoc and misery to weak fools.
"Welcome... what's your name?" Dragonfly turned to see a red Kyrii standing beside her.
"Dragonfly. Um... where's your owner? I would like to meet him or her."
"..."
That was obviously the wrong thing to say.
"O-owner? Excuse me! But I am the owner! Geo VII! Thank you very much!" The Kyrii fumed.
"Oh, calm down, Geo. She's a new member." A white Lupesses said. "Hi, I'm Nimras. I like showers and my blue fuzzy, more commonly known as Jeran! And don't you dare touch him or else face the fate decided by the cheesegrater!" Nimras said holding up a large cheesegrater.
"But you control it right?"
"Yup."
"So you decide my fate."
"Well..."
"A newbie! Yayy!" A voice floated from above.
"Brace youself, Dragonfly."
"Wha-"
WHAM!
"... Ow." Dragonfly managed to sqweak.
"Welcome! You have just been glomped!" A blue Shoyru said. Seeing the confusion and pain on Dragonfly's face she continued. "It's a rather painful hug or tackle. The more painful it is, the better the glomp!"
"I can't feel my legs!" Dragonfly moaned.
"That's not a problem!" Another voice came.
Dragonfly looked up to see a great water faerie standing... well she had fins but she was standing nevertheless ...in front of her. A mystical light surrounded Dragonfly and hse felt completely healed.
"Are you some sort of Healing/Rainbow Fountain Faerie mix? What are you doing here?" Dragonfly asked as she got up, her legs wobbly.
"Oh. I'm the guild's official Water Faerie. My name is Belle! I'm responsible for all the water creature transformations in NTAG!" Belle said cheerfully.
"So where was I?"
"You think we're the pets right? Well see, whever you come in here, you're magically transformed to whatever you want to be! Like me! Nano! I'm a blue Shoyru! Oh and I'm obsessed with cheese! So don't you dare steal it!"
"Oooohhkaaay... uhhh... have you seen a red Lupe around here?"
"You mean Nithe? Oh yeah! He's in the party room! Join us! We are celebrating!" Nimras said. And before Dragonfly could protest she was being pulled by a red Kyrii, a white Lupess, a blue Shoyru, and a Water Faerie.
They entered a large room. Music was blasting and there were many active members in there partying, eating, chatting, or just being insane. Dragonfly spotted Nithe at once. He was on the dance floor doing the robot, making lots of members laugh.
"ROFFLE!" A girl shouted.
"Pardon?" Dragonfly looked bewieldered. Had she done something wrong?
"What? Oh, a new member! Welcome! I'm Mashy! I love mashed potatoes! Roffle is another form of rofl. But this is much better and is not considered chatspeak!" She said.
"Cool!" Dragonfly exclaimed. "So um, Belle, why are we throwing a party?"
"Plankton, our guild's pyromaniac, managed to not burn down the guild house for a whole week!"
"... Horray?" Dragonfly said uncertaintly.
"Precisely!"
The party cotinued all night. Dragonfly ended up with a few more bruises than she liked to from glomping of other members. It was around that time that normal people would head off to bed. But NTAG wasn't normal. So it was around the time that NTAG people would head off to bed. Dragonfly was given the choice of a room or finding a place in the guild house to call her own. Dragonfly took the room. She and Nithe were just about to hit the hay when Nithe stopped her.
"Well?" He said, his sharp teeth shining.
"Well what?"
"Are staying?"
And suddenly Dragonfly's mind remembered everything that happened that day.
"Where else to stay but home?" She smiled and rested. Sooner or later they realized that they had the mistake of picking the room that would be right next to a certain new, hyper-active member-to-be.
--------------------------
"Are you kidding me!" Sage said beweildered.
"What" Dragonfly looked up in confusion.
"All you got were a few bruises! I had to be doctored by Heather!" Sage exclaimed.
Everyone was silent for a moment. Then...
"ROOFLE!"
Then there were some serious damage to the trampolines. They weren't use to that kind of weight.
THE END
Authors Note: I know I didn't describe NTAG's insanity as much as I should have! Nevertheless, it shall be shown in my next chapter. And the last part about the trampolines- well whoever is in NTAG and read Nut's story about Roofle should know what I mean. Hope you enjoyed. A la! Fweeeeee!
