Kiara: From the dead…not!
Cassi: Anywho, This story is going to be very different from LB's last story, "Total Desolation".
Lakyantkyro: How might you ask?
Little Birdie: One thing, this is a mystery/horror/romance fic…although it only says mystery/romance.
Daisy: Oh, by the way, Little Birdie does not own Neopets. But she does own Cassi, Bryan, and us Neopets' names.
Kyli: And her friend, Little Rabbit, owns Cheyanne Asoku and her Neopets' names.
Jessi & Skyelar: Now on with the fic!

Chapter 1: A New Friend

It all started with the normally hectic day of the twins fighting over or about something.

"Skyelar, give my bows!" "Not until you give me my mine!" Here we go again! I thought sighing at the twin's fighting knowing Daisy would down in two seconds to break it up. "Hold it you two!" yelled Daisy racing down the stairs to break up the two girls.

"She won't give me my bows back!" yelled Skyelar. "She hit me, and then took mine!" whimpered Jessi. "Skye! A little help with the girls?" asked Daisy. Skye wasn't listening. He had headphones on, as usual.

It was time for me to get involved, "Jessi, hand me Skyelar's Bows, and Skyelar, hand me Jessi's." The girls did as I told them. I handed Jessi her bows, and Skyelar hers. It was settled.

It always seemed I was so much like Cheyanne, always the one to settle arguments, and normally the arguments were very easy to settle. Though, most of the arguments come from the twin's fighting. They always make-up later.

The only other arguments are between Skye and Kyli or Daisy and Zafakino. They're usually over stupid things, but enough about the arguments at our NeoHome. Let's get on with the rest of the story.

"Daisy, would you mind if Lakyantkyro and I took the twins to get a slushie?" I asked knowing Daisy wanted time to her and Skye, since Kyli and Zafakino were gone for a few hours. "That would be awesome! Thanks, Cassi!"

"Lakyantkyro, come down please!" I yelled up the stairs. "Coming!" she said as she slid down the banister. "Oops! Sorry Cassi, it slipped my mind!" I patted her head, "It's okay. How would you like to help me take the twins down to the Slushie Shop?" "You mean it?" She asked oh-so innocently. I nodded. "YAY!" She squealed with delight. I grabbed Jessi and Lakyant held Skyelar's paw, as we headed out the door.

"What kind of slushie do you girls want?" I asked when we were nearing the shop. "Berry." said Jessi "Chocolate Chip!" yelled Lakyant and Skyelar in unison. I laughed. No wonder Lakyantkyro and Skyelar got along so well, they were just like each other! We bought our slushies and went outside to enjoy them.

"Where do you want to go now?" I asked. Lakyantkyro looked at me. I knew where she wanted to go. The Defense Shop. "PLEASEEEE!!!!!" she begged. I gave in, "Okay, but only a few minutes." We all walked into the shop. Lakyant being a level 15 made it pretty easy for her to win battle dome matches.

We turned the corner of a display and I saw a blue Aisha with a purple collar on. Kiara? I thought, No it couldn't be, or could it? "Kiara, come look at this." I heard someone say. It was a boy, he looked a little older than me, talking to my Aisha that I used to have!

"KIARA!" Lakyantkyro screamed. She ran over to her sister and they hugged. Skyelar started to run off, but I caught her paw just in time. "Do you know this Aisha, Kiara?" asked the boy. "Yes, she's my sister Lakyantkyro." Kiara replied to the boy. Kiara saw me and ran up to me, "Cassi! Oh, I'm so glad to see you!" "Same here." I said with a smile.

"Oops, excuse my manners. Cassi, this is Bryan. Bryan, meet Cassi." Kiara introduced us. I put Jessi down and shook hands with Bryan.

Bryan was about 4 inches taller than me, and had light brown hair and the most gorgeous blue eyes I had ever seen. He was wearing carpenter blue jeans and an Old Navy sweatshirt.

"I have a question," I asked Bryan "How did you meet Kiara?" "I found her and Pringle at the pound." Bryan said. "Kiara, I knew you shouldn't have left! I had a bad feeling you were gonna get caught!" I sighed. "You mean, you didn't put her in the pound?" asked Bryan. I shook my head.

"Who's that little guy?" I asked as I pointed to a small, green Aisha behind Bryan. "Oh, that's Mason. I got him from the Create-A-Pet center a while back." I saw the look in Lakyant's eyes… she liked him.

"Bryan, why don't you and your Neopets come over and we'll talk a little more." I suggested as I picked up Jessi again. "Sounds good to me." He smiled and my heart melted. He was soooo cute!
