Chapter 2
(A/N: None whatsoever. Have fun!)
Disclaimer: Yeah, yeah, I know, this is thepart where the author is supposed to say something funny about they're not wning this, but hey, I can't think of anything funny to say!^____^
I do not on NeoPets in any way, I'm just a pawn in this game of life-wait, is that a song?
The boat ride only lasted a few more hours, but all the same me and Bronto decided to keep it quiet.
That was, after Tiora and Sakura gave us the scolding of our lives.
It was quite hard to tell who was talking, as they were both talking so fast we almost couldn't understand them.
"How dare you-"Sakura started.
"Enter someone else's-" entered Tiora.
"Room?!" Didn't I teach-"
"You better than that, Bronto-"
"ShojuNani?"
We both looked at each other and shrugged. Than, seeing that they both, expectantly, were waiting for an answer, we replied in unison, "We're sorry," before putting our heads down.
***
After our scolding, we head over to the edge of the deck and looked out onto the water.
I pulled out of my Shoyru-sized backpack, my own Pic-A-Sketch and a #2 pencil. I stared out onto the water beyond, onto the sunset.
Suddenly, I was inspired. I put my pencil to the pad and started sketching furiously. Bronto looked at my drawing intently as I finished.
"Hey, that's pretty good!" he exclaimed.
I smiled. The picture needed to be inked, erased, and colored, but I could do that at school.
I didn't realize that someone was looking over my shoulder until I heard a rather nasual voice retort casually, "Well, well. What do we have here?" Bronto and I whipped around and were suddenly face to face with the, what appeared to be, the Uni who we had met before. Unsuprisedly, it appeared that she had gained a posse over the last few hours, consisting of a pink Lupe and a red Usul, both as equally gruesome as her, with their faces also plastered with obviously too much NeoGlo makeup.
"Oh. It's you. What do you want?" Bronto asked unconcernedly.
"Oh, nothing. Just to see you two losers. Oh, and maybe just to grace you with my presence."
"You know, if you like us so much, why don't you just do us a favor and get out of our faces?"
She humphed. Then she got a look at my drawing.
"Ah. It looks like the disgusting beast over there has actually managed to get some talent his sleeve. Or is it actually a her?"
I glared at her. How dare she mistaken me as a him? Her posse glared at me.
"Oh yeah?!," I retorted. I don't see you showing any talent whatsoever, except your rather unwanted ability to gross out people the minute you meet them. Oh, yes, and also your ability to create such disgusting Halloween costumes. I suppose you made that stimulating mask that you're wearing. I'm surprised it didn't scare me the minute I met you. Oh, wait! It did!"
I took a deep breath.
Bronto immediately burst out laughing. Even the Uni's posse snuck some snickers.
"Ugh! Well, I never-Ohhhhh! You're going to pay for this!"
And with that, she beckoned to her posse and they glide away from us.
"Wait a second! What's your name?" Bronto yelled.
She spun around whipped her hair at us," and said, "Ursula. Ursula Won Barkan Rosebud Dugan, the III." Then she spun on her hoof and was gone.

The captain of the ship had long since announced that our arrival to the gates of the school would be delayed due to….reasons beyond our control. Whatever that meant.
As because it was evening, we were to be served dinner on the ship in the dining area on the 3rd floor.
"Today's menu is a Turkey Dinner with a side order of broiled Purple Neggs or corn on the cob." Sakurastar read out from brochure.
What's the vegetarian menu?" Tiora asked.
"Ummmmm….oh, here it is!" Sakura said, scanning the menu.
Tuning out from my beloved owner, I peered into the crowd.
"Ugh. Hey Bronto, look over there."
Bronto looked away from his owner and followed my gaze.
"Hey! It's Misses Ursula Von Baked Poison Donut, the V!" He cried.
I burst out into giggles.
***
In the dining area, someone had apparently tried to stick about twenty round tables in the small space that was the dining room. Sakurastar, Tiora, BrontoBite, and I all crowded into the seats around one such table. I glanced around the ship and saw Ursula and her owner taking seats at the only large, uncrowed table in the room. It was labeled RESERVED.
Bronto also noticed this. "Man," he whispered to me so Tiora wouldn't notice. "They must be loaded. With money, I mean."
I nodded in agreement.
We ordered our food and settled down. Soon, our orders arrived and we began our meals.
I have to admit, the chefs could have done better , but all in all, the food was good. We enjoyed our meals.
Unfortunately, Ursula and her owner did not.
"WHAT KIND OF FOOD IS THIS! THIS IS THE KIND OF THING YOU WOULD FEED TO A KORBAT, THIS DISGUSTING GRUEL!" Ursula's owner yelped.
A nearby Korbat whimpered in fear.
Ursula spat out her food onto her plate.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Ursula, but this is the most expensive thing on the menu!" the waiter who had served them cried. At first I thought he was talking to the Uni Ursula, but than I realized that the owner's name was probably Ursula, and she had just named her NeoPet after her. Conceited jerk.
"TAKE IT BACK! TAKE IT BACK AND TELL YOUR CHEFS TO MAKE IT BETTER!!!" human Ursula shrieked at the waiter. The waiter cowered in fear.
"Y-yes ma'am!" the waiter replied, and ran away.
As he passed our table he mumbled loud enough for s to hear," No good NeoPet and Owner.Just because she's the best payer….mumble-mumble…"
Sakurastar tsked.
Tiora stifled a giggle.
I looked at Bronto.
Bronto looked at me.
We couldn't help it.
We fell out of our seats laughing.
***
After dinner, or rather, lunch, as it was only 4:34 and the sun was still high in the sky, we took turns mimicking the Uni and her owner's extravagant airs.
"Why would someone want to by a Grand Master Suite if we're only going to be on this ship for a day?" Bronto inquired.
I shrugged.
Suddenly, we heard a deafening horn blow acroos the ship.
"We will be approaching our destination in about ten minutes. Please gather all of your luggage and stay seated until the ship comes to a complete stop. Than, please exit the front main exit near the captain's box. If you are returning, please remain seated. Thank you." The intercom went off.
"You heard what he said," Bronto said. "He said we will be approac-"
"Okay!" I said loudly.
We laughed, then hurried to the luggage counter and request our luggage.
About ten minutes later, we hit shore.
We double checked ourselves to find whether we were missing anything, or anyone, for that matter, found ourselves complete, than exited via the front exit.
There, as we stepped upon the hard, cold, concrete (I was glad for my nice navy blue shoes!), we acquired our first glimpse of the Neopian Stars Beginning and Finishing Academy For Advanced Pets
(A/N: None whatsoever. Have fun!)
