From Earth to Neopia: The New Owner on the Block
By: David_The_Ultimate
Chapter 1- The Mysterious Man
David sighed as he logged off Neopets.com. He hated leaving the site worse than cleaning his room, worse than anything in the world, but he had to do his chores. So, it was with a heavy heart that he closed down his browser and turned off the computer.
He sighed as he walked through the living room into the kitchen. It was Saturday, and every Saturday he had to mow the lawn. The most boring job in the world, thought David. He would much rather be feeding his Acara, but it was only the fact that he mowed the lawn that his parents would allow him to be on the internet.
Walking out the back door, he could see it was a bright, sunny day, and quite hot. David knew this wasn't going to make his job any easier. So, unlocking the gate, he pulled the mower out onto the lawn, (after a few tries) started it up, and started to cut the grass. He said or thought nothing for a little while, only concentrating on his work and the growling of the motor. After a while of this, he started to think about his favorite subject- neopets.
Granted, he had been on it for only 9 months, but he had found in Neopia a world of great delight. All the way from the tip of Terror Mountain, to the ruins of Maraqua all the way beneath the sea, David's soul seamed to yearn for it every second. But, alas, he could not go. "Reality check, David," he said to himself, "Neopia is only a web site."
"Is it, really?" asked a calm, quiet voice that pierced through the roar of the mower into David's ears. Turning off the lawnmower, he turned around the face the voice, and saw a man who looked in his late 60's (As punctuated by his grey moustache and sideburns), yet in great physical condition.......for a guy his age, anyway. He wore almost nothing but grey, from his tux, to his shoes, why even the top hat he was wearing was grey. David was quickly reminded of his dad's wedding outfit. He carried a cane, which was made out a silvery wood and had a red gem at the head. David was wondering why this man was dressed like this, and (more imporantly) why this man- who closely resembled the monopoly guy wearing a grey suit -was talking to him.
"Who are you?" he said after a few seconds.
"An observer," replied the man, bowing a little, as he tipped his hat to David, revealing his bald head. "You like Neopia, do you not?"
"Well, sure, it's the greatest. Why?"
The man smiled. "What would you say if I told you that Neopia was real, and that I had the power to take you there?"
"I would say you need to come down to earth and face reality."
"Don't don't you feel in the very depths of your soul that, no matter what anybody says, Neopia has always been real to you?"
"......yeah, a little, I guess," David replied, raising an eyebrow. Whoever this man was, he was either nuts or somthing else. "Are you saying that you have the power to take me there?"
"Now you're getting it!" laughed the man. "Yes, I can take you to Neopia- it is known that your love and affection for Neopets is great, and so we feel that you are worthy enough to come."
"Is this a joke?"
"I am completely sincere. All you need to do is say when, and I will take you."
"Now's ok, I guess." David figured that he had nothing to lose, and anything would probably beat mowing the yard.
"Take my hand."
Daivd shrugged, but his heart gave a tiny leap- if what this man was even partly true, his greatest dream would become reality. Cautiously, he extended his hand and grasped the man's. Almost immediately, he felt like he was being sucked up a giant vacuum cleaner, as the area around him seemed to melt away. He felt like he was fling very fast, and what David saw was astounding- stars and planets flew by him as he seemed to be cruising through a tube of light. Finally, with a loud thud, he and the man hit the ground.
"Ugh, that was SO Stargate SG-1," David quipped groggily as he got to his feet. He looked around, and discovered he was in a neighborhood not too much different from his own. They were standing in front of a quite ordinary-looking house. "What is this place? And what're we doing here?"
The man smiled. "We're here to introduce you to your Neohome."
"My WHAT?"
"David, welcome to Neopia."
