(Try saying THAT title 10 times quickly!)
Helloo.. This is a fic I wrote when I was obsessed with neopets, but it got rejected from the neopian times because it has T.V.s and cars in it. Hopefully you like it. I haven't gone through and read it to make sure there isn't more than two exclamation marks at the end of any one sentence, or that it doesn't sound too corny, so please ignore anything of that sort. (Or typos for that matter) I Hope some of you people out there like this! (Try and review if you can – it doesn't even have to be detailed, even just a "I liked it" would be fine! Thanks!)

A blue cybunny lay in the backyard of a gorgeous neohome under an odd tree. She twitched in her sleep as the stars twinkled. In her dreams she remembered when she was created...
-"Okay cybunny, your official name is Cycy288, but I'll call you whatever I want, and you will call me ma'am or master. Got it?" The small cybuny nodded a weak reply. "Good. Now, just so you know, I only made you so that I could have an anibus. Here he is." The cruel lady pointed to an anibus sitting on a royal purple cushion, chewing a bone toy. "His name is Regal, and you will feed and clean up after him without making any attempt at being friends. I will play with him. Your room is that tree." She pointed to a gnarled and twisted tree that looked quite neglected in the corner of the beautiful back garden...-
The cybunny woke with a start. She looked around in a hurry. Seeing that it was night, her owner's party guests had left and that she had not overslept, the cybunny lay back down on her blue-soled paws. She fell asleep almost immediately, knowing that tomorrow would not be any easier than any other day.
---
The blue cybunny awoke to the crowing of next-door's peadackle. "Dawn already?" She whispered to herself, her voice sounding very small, as it always did. She climbed to her feet and walked to the clear pond in the middle of the lush garden. The cybunny drank from a small part of the lake where the fish could not go. A large rock made it impossible for them to reach that certain part. She walked to the dirty white tiles that surrounded the back door and placed a paw on a pale blue tile that only just stood out from the rest. The glass door clicked and slid open. The cybunny walked inside and into the kitchen. As usual Regal was still asleep and the kitchen was a mess from the party last night. Of course the cybunny had not been invited and had had to stay in her deserted corner under the straggly tree. She got out the cereal and ate her breakfast quickly; there was a lot of work to be done. Regal was asleep on his royal purple cushion which had been replaced twice since it was first bought a year ago because 'some pesky rats' had made it tatty and old looking. The cybunny tipped some 'Anibus Yumminus' into Regal's purple bowl and placed it on his play mat. She then got the green water bowl next to the food bowl and re-filled it, placing it down where it had been before. The cybunny sighed and started to clean up.
About an hour later a lady with charcoal black hair with hot pink streaks walked down the spiralling stairs, already dressed.
"Are you cleaning 288?" She called.
"Y-yes ma'am, I'm also nearly done as well!" The cybunny said in her small voice, afraid to speak any bolder.
"Good. Naki said to paint regal white, since Anibus can't be painted royal, so I'm going out to buy one. Watch over Regal while I'm gone and if you've finished cleaning up when I get back then I'll let you come see him get painted." Naki55 was Petapetpetluva's friend. The cybunny had always thought Peta was an odd name, but the statement in her username was more than true. Peta loved petpets and would do anything to get hold of the popular ones. Peta was very rich and could afford anything. Regal and Peta played games in their spare time, and the shop named 'Peta's petpet's!' was one of the top shops around, cycy was amazed by its size and vast quantity of petpets. The cybunny nodded and watched as Peta left the mansion and headed for the market place.
---
Once Cycy was finished she sat down in a small cybunny chair and switched on a small television in front of it. The picture wasn't very good but it was better than nothing. Suddenly Regal started to yip and the cybunny knew that Peta was home. Peta rushed in the door with a bag and a box.
"Turn that thing off and come here!" She ordered. Cycy did as she was asked and ran to help Peta. She thrust the bag at her and ran to a large fruit painting on the wall. Moving it aside Peta revealed a huge safe. The safety deposit box. She put the box inside and snatched the bag from the cybunny. She put the bag in as well and shut the safe, leaving Cycy to re-hang the painting.
"Alright!" Peta said, a smile on her face.
"Have a seat Cycy!" The cybunny sat down and turned her chair to face Peta. "Now," Peta said. "I got you because cybunnnies are rare. I got Regal because Anibus are popular. Right now weewoos are popular, but only white ones! So you are going to be caretaker of a white weewoo. Now, red lupes are all the rage right now, so you are going to also have a brother. We are going to the pound to pick him up because apparently it makes you look good if you are generous and kind and all that sort of rubbish. So let's go." Peta stood up as she finished her mini-lecture and walked to the door, closely followed by Cycy.
---
They reached the pound and Cycy put on a smile for the other neopets and people. The pink adoption uni showed them through the door and pointed out the lupe section. "Thank you." Peta said sweetly. They went through the doors and walked slowly down the isle, watching out for a good red lupe. Finally Peta called out "aha!" and opened one of the cage doors.
"You're coming home with us today lil' lupey!"
Regal greeted the new lupe at the door with a thorough sniff-over and a series of yips. "Now, what's your name Lupe?" Peta questioned.
"I'm Mike992, but you can just call me Mike. You?" He said.
"I'm Petapetpetlover, but you will address me as ma'am or master, clear?" Peta's voice had hardened and Cycy had wandered off to her tree, not wanting to hear the harsh explanation of what Mike was for.
---
Mike and Cycy were left at home while Peta went out to paint Regal rainbow and the weewoo, who had been named Larka, white, and buy a tree and seat for Mike. The lupe did not seem shaken, but angry at what Peta had said.
"She has no right to use us like this! She... She... she just doesn't!" He had said when they had finished the chores Peta set them.
"Please don't be like this Mike, I don't want to see you get hurt! If you disobey her then she locks you outside! And she'll starve you if you mess up bad!" Cycy protested.
"You're right. We have to look after ourselves first before we can do anything. I don't think I know your name yet, what is it?"
"Cycy288. But I don't really like it..."
"Neither do I, let's get you a new name... how about Carly?"
"Oh, Carly's such a nice name, I'd absolutely love it!"
A grin spread across Mike's face.
"It suits you too."
---
So after that Mike called cycy Carly, but only when Peta wasn't there or couldn't hear what they were saying.
Mike's tree was as straggly and gnarled as Carly's. She suspected that they were gnarled stumps given growing potion from Kauvara or something. When she announced this to Mike he burst out laughing, and when Peta yelled at him to stop his grin said that he was dieing to continue laughing his head off.
'He's the best big brother I have EVER had. Even though you're the only one I've ever had.' Carly thought, lying down next to her brother, their trees tangled in each other's branches.
---
"I'm leaving tomorrow morning for Mystery Island!" Peta announced as she walked through the sliding front door, "Two weeks away from you rotten pets, in heaven too! Mud spas, a five star hotel - but I can't take my lovelies with me. Regal and Larka with have to stay with you." She stroked Regal's rainbow fur and cooed to the little white weewoo. It was obvious that Mike and Carly were struggling to keep straight faces, but Peta probably wouldn't have noticed right now, even if they were laughing right in her face.
---
The next morning the house was all a-fuss, but Mike and Carly did their work swiftly and happily. By the time Peta had left it was 11 in the morning, and they had been helping her get ready to leave and organizing Regal and Larka since 8.
Peta's last words to them were; "when I get back, the place will be clean, and my lovelies will be waiting for me – in perfect, conditioned health." Carly wasn't sure that what she said had made real sense, but did Peta really make sense at all?

Ish teh end of chappeh 1.
Once again, forgive me for any cornieness (Is that even a word?), overused exclamation marks or typos. I wrote this around year 5, so those things may pop up. (But I am proud of this story! Some people say "omg this is like just some stupid thing I wrote when I was like ten and I hate it but I'm posting it anyway" but not me! I am proud of this story and do not hate it! (even if some parts make me cringe))
Review!!
