Chapter 1: Welcome to Neopia: Part One
Neopia… a world full of magical wonders and majesticness. A world full of strange but wonderful creatures called Neopets. But instead of looking towards the world, let's take a look at a smaller place. It was a sunny day in Neopia Central. The sun is shining and school is only a day away. Summer's almost over and peace falls over the Neopians. Unfortunately, the peace was broken in a distant part of a neighborhood. In a garage, a driving rock rhythm has been heard throughout Neopia. Inside the garage was a blue Bori wearing a black band t-shirt with the words "Black White" meaning of his favorite band, blue jeans, a chain, black skater shoes, and two black wrist bands. His name was Kyoru. Along with him was a blue Gelert wearing a black t-shirt with the words "Rock 'N Roll" in red, blue jeans, black converse sneakers, and a gold earring on his right ear. His name was Roku. Along with him was a green Kougre wearing a white skating t-shirt with a long sleeved black shirt, jeans, chains, and black converse sneakers. His name was Aroki. And lastly, was a yellow Yurble named Chioku. He wore a green t-shirt, blue jeans, black and white skater sneakers, and chains. After they practiced, they begun to hang out at the Neopian mall.
"I can't believe that school starts tomorrow!"
"It's not fair that they shortened summer break!"
"If they didn't, then I would've skated like crazy!!! Right, Kyoru? Kyoru?"
He didn't speak as he gazed upon a beautiful yellow striped Xweetok. She had long shiny blond hair with eyes as gold as a wedding ring with shining blue mascara. She wore two golden earrings on both ears. She also wore a small bright yellow tank top and matching miniskirt and shoes. She wore a golden necklace around her neck with a blue jewel as the centerpiece, two golden wristbands, and a yellow-orange bow tied to her tail. Her name was Sakuya.
"Oh. Sakuya. You do realize that she's dating another guy right?"
"Yeah I know that. But I just can't seem to stay away from her."
"You might as well forget it. Do you know how many boyfriends that she's been through?"
"I dunno, six?"
"Twelve to be exact. The guy she's dating now is number thirteen."
"So?"
"So, what I'm trying to say is that there are like a gazillion guys in our school. Fifteen of them on the football team and only she dated like seven of them. She dated 2 of the members on the basketball team, and currently she's dating Lance."
"Lance the Kyrii?! Are you talking about the same Lance that pushed us aside in the lunch line? The same Lance that was the only guy who ever through tomatoes at us from our End-Of-The-Year concert last year? The same Lance who has dated like a bajillion girls at our school? That Lance?!"
"Yes."
"Crap! And speaking of crap, she's coming this way! Act natural."
Suddenly, Roku was leaning against the wall, Kyoru was leaning against a support beam, Aroki sitting down against the wall and Chioku leaning against the balcony of the second floor.
"Hi Kyoru."
"Oh, hey Sakuya! What are you doing here?"
"Oh I'm just shopping. What about you?"
"I'm just hanging out that's all… heheh… um… you look pretty today!"
"Oh Kyoru, you're probably just the sweetest, cutest, most nicest guy I've ever met!"
Kyoru blushed so red, that the color of his fur turned suddenly to red.
"But it's too bad I can't go out with you. You would've made the perfect boyfriend for me… But since I already have one, sorry. Well, I guess I'll see ya later."
Then she blew him a kiss and Kyoru blushed even more.
"So what are you gonna do?"
"Isn't she the greatest? And she said I would've made the perfect boyfriend if she had the chance… She's so beautiful…"
"Looks like we lost him. Oh that reminds me! Don't we have to go get school supplies for tomorrow?"
"What?"
"Supplies?! The ones that we all already planned to buy before school starts?! Those supplies?!"
"…………………what?"
"Ugh… Okay Roku, you grab the feet, I'll take the arms."
Then Aroki grabbed his arms and Roku grabbed his feet. After a whole hour of dragging him to the office supply store, Kyoru was finally away from his trance.
"…What the?! Hey! Why are we at the office supply store?!"
"We're here to get those supplies for school that we planned to buy."
"Looks like we're not the only ones."
As they entered, the whole store was crowded enough to fill the stands of a high school football game.
"Aw man! How are we gonna get those supplies now?!"
"Easy just grab a cart and go!"
As they grabbed a cart, suddenly a yellow and black hand grabbed it too. Kyoru's eyes followed they hand all the way up to show an ugly looking Moehog. He had beady little eyes, a giant unibrow, a bright green tight t-shirt with the words "Greatest Man On The Planet" in white, bleached washed blue jeans, and brown suede backless shoes. His name is Ikura. Then, Kyoru covered his eyes in horror that was brought upon to him.
"Ahhhh!!! It's like looking at the backside of an orangutan!!!"
"Ha-ha… very funny Kyoru-loser!"
"Kyoru-loser?"
"Yeah! Now give me back this cart!"
"Your cart?! I found it first!"
"No you didn't!"
"Yes I did!"
"You lie!"
Then, after a long pause… SMACK!!! Kyoru has punched his face into his mouth. He wiped his hands on his shirt in disgust.
"Gross! I touched him!"
Ikura recovered after pulling his face out and then he grabbed Kyoru by the collar.
"Okay that's it! You're gonna get it!"
"Eww… You're touching me!"
Ikura's face got closer to him.
"Shut up! Or you're gonna be looking at the other side of your face."
"Gross! Do you have to get so close up to my face?!"
"Why I oughta!!!"
Suddenly, Sakuya separated both of them.
"Okay! Stop!"
"Why hello Sakuya… My you're looking lovely today…"
"Eww…"
"Well anyway, I'll see you later my sweet…"
Then he blew a kiss to Sakuya. The heart that came out of the kiss turned shriveled up and grey and fell to her feet. She help Kyoru up and held him close for comfort.
"Are you okay?"
"Uh… yeah…"
"(giggle) You are so cute! Here, I'll give you a kiss on the cheek just to get you back to your senses."
She took Kyoru's face up close to her and gave him a soft and long kiss on his cheek. During the process, his face turned redder than a tomato during the summer time.
"I'll see you later Kyoru!"
"Yeah…"
"Ahem… Kyoru, the supplies?"
"Who needs supplies when I got… her…"
"Seriously dude. You need to find another girl."
"What?"
"Never mind."
After grabbing a cart, they noticed the sea of people crowding their way to the supplies.
"How are we gonna get through all of these people?"
"Simple. FLEE!!! FLEE FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!"
Suddenly, the sea of people turned into a maelstrom of panic and terror for no single reason at all. There were even screams like "Ahh!!! You heard what that fat, chubby bear-thing said!!! FLEE!!!" and a conversation of panic like "Ahh!!! Hey!!! Why are we fleeing?!!!" "I don't know!!! But since that fat kid told us to, FLEE!!! FLEE WHILE WE'RE STILL YOUNG AND ALIVE!!!" After about 10 minutes or so, the whole store area was cleared out.
"Great job Chioku!!! Your fleeing idea even had the registers empty!!!"
"Hey! Free stuff then!!"
"Oh no! I can't have Sakuya think I'm some kind of heartless criminal by stealing this stuff! She's gonna hate me for that and she'll never wanna talk to me again! And I cannot handle a girl that I like hating me so much! Got it?!"
"Whatever, now shut up and take these stacks of paper and binders to my dad's car."
"Okay…"
As Kyoru walked over to Roku's car, Ikura popped out of the trunk.
"Criminal! I shall take you to justice!!!"
"Roku! There's some kind of horrible creature in your trunk!!!"
"Is it a friendly alien?"
"No, it's an Ikura!!!"
"I'll get the bat."
After a while of waiting, Roku came out with a giant metal bat with a nail sticking into it. Then, he gave Ikura a giant massive blow to the head and then they went home.
