A/N: Well, this is it. My first fic.. Please tell me what you think about
it….
Oh, right. First, I have to say that Neopets does not belong to me, neither do the names of neopets used. They are property of Neopets.com, and the creators of the site. Now…

The young purple grundo ran his hand slowly over the smooth glass of the container, staring at the glowing brown substance inside of it, as if he was in some sort of trance.
"HEY KID!!" Bellowed the old kyrii behind the counter at the front of the shop. His hair was completely gray now, but his voice was as strong as ever. He pushed his rectangle reading glasses back up his face, so that the once more rested comfortably on his nose.
"Gulp…" He removed his hand and slowly turned to face the old kyrii shopkeeper.
Now see, the shopkeeper had a reputation for being strict. It was a very well known fact that he was a former Neo-Army General and was a foremost battler in the Tyrannian war. However, why he had chosen such as relatively boring career afterwards was not known by anyone, even his few friends.
"Kid, If your not going to buy that, don't get all of those… disgusting GRUNDO germs on my merchandise." Said the kyrii sharply.
The grundo started to yell at the insult, but quickly drew back. He knew that old kyrii was set in his ways, and still thought of most grundos as dim-witted minions of Dr. Sloth.
"And why would you be interested in that disgusting concoction? Most Neopets would just be terrified of that stuff, but I just find it disgusting."
"Well, you see, I'm very curious about what Dr. Sloth uses to create his transmogrification potions, and because I have no way to have him explain it to me, much less actually GET INTO SPACE, I have to figure it out on my own, and as you might expect, this isn't easy at all…" Explained the grundo.
"Well, kid, you certainly wont get anywhere hanging around my shop… you have 5000 np."
The grundo reached into his backpack, put only scrounged up a few coins. "Well, you see, one of my main problems is my extremely low budget…"
"Sigh….. kid, if I can find some way to help you, WILL YOU LEAVE ME ALONE?" Bellowed the kyrii angrily.
"Well, I would be gracious and… well, sure I would leave you be." Replied the grundo meekly.
"Sigh… fine." He leaned over on the counter and spoke calmly to the Grundo. "Listen, go to the Library. If you go to the back of the old section of the building, you'll see a door. Walk into that door, you'll see a purple shoyru. She's been here a lot. Ask her."
The grundo blinked in amazement. He couldn't move for a moment.
"WELL, WHAT ARE YA WAITING FOR?? GET GOIN!!!"
The grundo jumped and dashed out the door, causing several papers on the counter to fly up. "THANK YOU!" he yelled as he ran out.
The kyrii sighed. "I gotta stop letting kids in here……"
