Chapter 7: The seventh month
"Oh, look at this, Jhudora! It's so cute!"
The Uber Dark Faerie was taking Jhudora out to buy some maternity stuff. They were at "Pickles & Ice Cream Faerie" buying clothes for her. There was a wide assortment of clothes for expecting faeries. Jhudora hated to admit it, but maybe this pregnancy wasn't going to be so bad if she could get some cool clothes out of it. They were looking at a bunch of purple stuff in the Dark Faerie section, there was plenty of it, too. There were all kinds of styles, both for those wanting to flaunt their impending motherhood, and those who wanted to hide it.
While they were looking, Jhudora noticed Illusen across the aisle. She didn't know why, but she felt as if she wouldn't be mad if Illusen wanted to talk. And talk, she wanted to.
Illusen spotted Jhudora and waved before coming over. Her potbelly was huge, but Jhudora figured she looked the same as well.
"Hey! Jhudora! Are you here getting clothes, too?"
"Yep. I haven't found anything, though."
"You might wanna look in the cross-elemental section. Look for Earth-Dark since that's what you are."
(A/N: Yes, I KNOW that the website calls her a Dark Faerie, but think. In Illusen's page of the Neopedia, she says they are sisters and in the TCG she is listed as Earth-Dark. Now what does that add up to?)
"Oh, yeah! I didn't think of that. I was figuring on staying in this section, but I'm having no luck."
"I know what you mean! Over here in the earth section, there's nothing- Oh! Wait, here's something!"
Illusen bent down as best as she could (Well, what do you expect? she's seven months along!) and picked up a maternity version of her normal outfit.
"Look! It's perfect!"
Jhudora was bent down as well.
"You think that's odd? Watch this!"
She came back up with a maternity version of her outfit. As near as they could tell, lots of faeries wanted to copy their looks, so the stores either put those out for that reason, or put them out as soon as they heard that Illusen and Jhudora were pregnant. Neither of them noticed the two figures that walked in after seeing the two faeries inside.
"Jhudora? Illusen?"
It was Adam and Donna. They were out on the town in Faerie City, when they spotted the two faeries in the store.
"Are you......... You can't be........."
"Yes we are." They said in unison. "Fyora, too."
"That's wonderful!" said Donna. And is the Uber Dark Faerie-
"Of course not!" The Uber Dark Faerie huffed. "Do I look pregnant?"
"No I guess not." Donna hastily said.
"This is wonderful!" said Adam. "We can announce it over the New Features! The whole of Neopia will be waiting for the birth of the two-"
"NO! Don't announce it!" Yelled Jhudora.
"Yes, she's right. Our customers alreaeady know about the babies. You may say that we have a surprise for Neopia, but the rest of Neopia must find out about it on their own." Added Illusen
"Okay, We won't announce it."
"Thank you."
After everyone made their purchases, Jhudora made her way home where her regular customers were waiting. One by one, they took their quests, and each one gave a sidelong glance at her stomach, but it seemed no one was brave enough to ask.
Finally, the curious little boy with the blue grundo got the courage to do what he came to do.
"Miss Jhudora?" He just up and said it. "I-I have a present for you..."
Jhudora pretended to be angry. She had to be mean in order to keep her reputation as a feared quest faerie.
"I do not need your pity, asinine youth! You cannot do a quest today, and you must wait until tomorrow!
The little boy remained there, and handed over a large carton of ice cream.
Jhudora smiled to herself, so as not to show weakness, as this would keep her customers properly afraid of her.
"NOW GET OUT!!!"
The boy ran. Inside, Jhudora was happy. Outside, she shot a haughty glance at her customers.
But she wasn't fooling anyone. :)
