A Grand Disaster

Disclaimer: I do not own Jeran,and Devarien was a character created By another great Neopian Times author; ChildDragon (there's an underscore between there) The pets Stargazer, Oasis,and Demyre are mine (Demyre was adopted), and Stargazer is a blue bori, Oasis is a ghost flotsam, and Demyre is a yellow ixi.
Rita continued packing her bags.It was a weeks vacation in Meridell,Neopia,and she needed to be prepared.She'd stop and see her Neopets on the way,then meet up with her friend Kelley in Brightvale,considering earth was towards the direction of Brightvale,not Meridell,which of course, was not convenient.As soon as she'd found Kelley,the two girls would head off to Meridell castle,where they'd find Jeran for the special week of...
HIS BIRTHDAY!
When Rita heard the screaming,happy,joyful voice in her head say it was his birthday,she couldn't help but smile.She'd packed her last two items; her laptop,and a book to read,and then she slung her duffle bag over her shoulder,and left the house in California at 3:00 A.M in the morning.She realized Kelley was leaving her Washington house at the same time as well.
Rita reached the drive way of her house,looked behind her to make sure her parents weren't watching her leave,and then quickly made a run for the end of the neighborhood.It was a long way from her house,but if she made good time,without being seen,she'd get there soon enough.At last,she came to the courtyard ending where a sweet, little gazebo sat in the lush greens that glew at night time.Rita panted a bit and took a break before heading to the gazebo and kneeling on the gravel, the stars barely seen through the light, gazebo roof. She held her hands together as if she was praying,then spread them outwards in the exact opposite,and ridiculous manner.The ground beneath her shook for her and only her,for just a brief moment,when at last,it finally gave in,a muddy,pinkish,blueish mess beneath her knees,yet,not staining her jeans the least bit. She held tight to the hem of her Happy Bunny T-shirt,and at last,was prepared for the slow,smooth,roller-coaster ride fall; which would lead to Neopia Central...
Now there,it was day time.
And Rita was relieved to see a bright sun,clouds,and bird-like petpets singing in the trees of the small, but comfy,Neopia Central.Rita passed by her neohome for a moment to say goodbye to her pets,who were just getting back from Neoschool. She came across a small street,and waited at the stop sighn until her pets, Demyre, StarGazer, and Oasis came across the street.At lats,they were a threesome standing on the sidewalk in front of Rita,all smiles,apparenty having a great day at school.
"Heya, guyz,how was your day?",Rita said as she hugged and kissed them by the sidewalk while taking the youngest; Demyre's hand and walking with her."It was great!",Demyre replied excitedly."I finished my painting project,and I"m gonna get to work on another one for extra credit in Mrs. Wiglaf's class!". Rita smiled at Demyre's enthusiasm,Stargazer could care less,and Oasis was just as happy to see Demyre excited about school."Well I'm glad things are great,but I"ve gotta go for a week,and I won't be here to give you guyz your omlette in the morning,or let you play with your petpets,so you guyz need to do all those favors for me okay.You know,go paly Tombola once a day, collect interest at the bank,ect.",Rita said,starting to talk in a rush. Demyre suddenly frowned,while Oasis perked up more,Stargazer still caring less."But why are you leaving Rita?",Demyre asked,now evidently sad about Rita going.
"Well...umm...one of my good, good friends in Meridell is having a week long birthday celebration, and well...I promised him I'd be there,so I have to go and bring him his present and all."Rita said,leading them all around the corner of the street to land straight on the street where their neohome was.Demyre looked up at Rita again,her sweet,darling ixi eyes now watery,she was so young...she couldn't handle Rita leaving like that. Oasis gave Rita a sultry look,thinking about the fact that it was a boy she was visiting for a birthday,and Stargazer just shrugged,replying, "Well, who is this he anywayz,Jeran?",then laugheda dark,sinister snicker.
"Well...yes."Rita replied. She finally broke the iceberg.
