The sun was slowly waking up. It was creeping over the mountains, then

through the plains. The desert was already heating up, the islands were getting

the first waves of the fresh new morning. The light seeped into the darkest room

in Neopia. Dr. Frank Sloth stood tall by the window. His figure shadowed out the

sunlight, as he gazed at something within the room. One of his grundo servants

had a box which had tiny air-holes cut into the top. His stocky green fingers

opened it up and Sloth clamped his hands together.

"Excellent." With a wicked smile he unclamped his hands and put them

into the box. Taking them out he looked into the eyes of a petpet. A Faellie, to

be exact. It had big black eyes, mesmerizing. Its fur was yellow, with a tuft of

white on its chest. It let out a soft 'meep' sound which could melt any neopians

heart. Except of course, Sloth's. His eyes were cold and restless, but the smile

stayed plastered on his face. The young grundo servant looked up at him.

"Dr., erm, Sloth, is it worthy of your master plan?" The small animal asked

timidly. Without a word Sloth told him the answer. With barely a nod the Grundo

jumped with some kind of evil glee.

"Now, servant, go find some more of these creatures. They will be

needed. You will be rewarded greatly for this, I promise." And with those words

the Grundo took the Faellie and ran out of the room. He would do anything to

please this master of evil. Sloth just looked at the shining light and smile

malevolently, muttering.

"Yes, soon this will be over. Those stupid Neopians will learn who is boss.

Me. And I will get my queen, Illusen. I will live evilly ever after and watch those

stupid Neopets suffer." With a cold, shrill laugh he closed his curtain, put on his

cape, and left.

---In Neopia---

"AERO! GET YOUR BUTT DOWN HERE AND FEED YOUR SISTERS!" Lexi

yelled angrily up the stairs of her Neohome. Ever since she had decided to get

that invisible pet she regretted it. She wanted another pet to help out, but

instead it just hid and it was impossible to find it. Aero, a handsome silvery

shoyru stepped down from the stairs like he was on 'Mr. NeoWorld'. With a sigh

Lexi gave him the keys to her car. "You are driving them to NeoSchool. It is

finally opened, now go! They are waiting. Oh I hope Muirk is in there, and Berri

needs her show-and-tell. Ah, and don't forget Dellic's glasses." As she piled this

all into his paws he groaned.

"Thanks, Lexi, oh greatest owner of all time. I'll see ya tonight. I love you

too. Bye" He ran out the door and started the small automobile as Lexi watched

the four pets drive off.

"I hope he remembered his special Valentines Day Babaa notebook." She

said worridly, referring to Aero's notebook. Her eyes welled with tears. "My little

pets are off on their own. Those virtual pets grow up so fast" But before she

had anytime to sob about it, a green hand covered her mouth.

"Scream and I'll give all your pets to n00bs." The thing whispered

threateningly. She nodded, a n00b was one of the worst punishments, and went

along with this minion of sloth. And she was gone.
