A/N: I don't own any items or pets that belong to Neopets but SpiceFlyer and MLP are my pets.

I sighed looking down in my cage, my careless owner had abandoned me so long ago I started to forget when the sun felt like on my red fur and what the ground felt like under my hooves.

I often found myself watching more fortunate pets regain their freedom and less fortunate pets having the freedom stripped from them.

I sighed and rested my head wondering who would ever want a plain red Uni like me.

"One day." I whispered letting a silent tear fall.

When I woke up I scanned the other cages filled with every kind of Neopet young and old, big and small I knew then well.

There never was anyway to ignore the hunger we faced so most pets found talking to the other pets a way to distract themselves from their problems.

I wasn't one of those pets.

I often went into my own world, where I was safe and happy.

When I opened my eyes I saw a blue Ixi and a young brown haired girl looking at me.

I sat up hopeful.

The girl smiled seeing me and gently put her warm hand through the bars of my cage and touched my cold hoof.

At first it felt odd but I couldn't help but smile, feeling as if she cared about me.

She read my name out loud and looked at the Ixi.

The Ixi seemed to be studying me for something before nodding.

The girl smiled and walked off.

My heart sank when she left.

However after a few minutes the girl came back, with a key in her hand.

I tilted my head wondering what the key was for.

The girl smiled at me and unlocked my cage.

My spirit soared hearing that rusty cage door squeak open.

I wanted to run out and hug the girl, but me feet burned when I tried to move them.

After a few minutes I finally dragged myself out.

The girl looked at me worried and tried to help me up.

Eventually I was finally up.

"Are you ok now?" the girl asked.

I nodded.

After a few minutes of rickety steps I finally got the feeling back into my legs and walked out with the girl, but not before she gave the key back to the pink Uni who had no doubt come to see what was taking her so long.

She smiled at me.

As the door out of the pound opened I had to close my eyes because of how bright the outside world was.

After a few seconds my eyes adjusted to the light.

I smiled feeling the warmth of the sunlight on my cold fur and skin for the first time in ages.

I asked the girl where we were going and she replied to get something for you to eat.

My stomach growled at the thought of food.

The girl apologised to me explaining she only had a few hundred neopoints on her after adopting me.

I didn't care though, I was only happy to be out.

I looked at the girl and asked what her name was.

She introduced herself as Breeze543 and that the Ixi I had seen her with earlier was my new little brother who she called MLP.

I asked why he was called MLP and Breeze543 explained that it was shorter for the name he had.

She said she made a mistake when he was created and that he was suppose to be a girl but she had accidentally forgot to change it from male to female.

I nodded.

Breeze543 smiled and took me to the nearest shop where she brought me a small smoothie and a Chocolate Dipped Peophin Cookie

After I was done we made our way back to my new home.
