T'laren: Well, by the time you see this, I'm gonna be trying to beat the online Hitchhiker's game! I got to the end once...but I messed up, so I had to start all over again.
Silver Angel: *doesn't get joke* *reads it out loud with various pronunciations* *bursts out laughing* Bad joke. But I like bad jokes! ^_^
Malathyne: Here's your cameo! Considering the fact that I can't neomail you, I'm guessing you're not a teenager, but I'm guessing you're around 12, so I hope you won't mind if I describe you as a teenager. About the suggestion: I'd like for Sarah's last name to sound American or English or something. Oh, and I know basic Japanese. I can only recognize 5 kana, but I do know a bit about Japanese language, and Timigotch just...isn't. Sorry.
Theameab: YES! IT'S TRUE! http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hp&cf=prev&id=1808403872 AUGUST 8, 2003! WOO! ELLA ENCHANTED! MOVIE! WOOHOO!
Also thanks to mnm for reviewing.
3 things: If you want to be alerted about new chapters, please put your e-mail addies in your review.
Second, I'm thinking of making Sarah's last name "Parker." What do you think?
And Third: My web site is up, and if you go there, you can see a picture of Sarah...without wings...because I suck at drawing them...

Sarah leapt onto Frank Sloth and pushed him to the ground, where she immediately started punching his stomach. The doctor kicked her off and grabbed her hair as she was about to land behind him. He got up, and let go of the Faerie's hair as she dug her thumbnail into his finger. He shouted in pain, and promptly gave Sarah a black eye. He grabbed her wrist, and punched her mouth, before the girl dug her thumbnail into his wrist and kicked his face. As Sloth rubbed his wrist, Sarah took the opportunity to kick his back, which made him fall down. She immediately landed on his back and pulled his antennae while pinning his arms behind his back. Although Sarah never saw how he could possibly do it, he managed to get up and grab her wrists, making sure her fingers were held tightly.

Tin, being the fastest of the four,
had gone to the Shop Wizard with all the money in the shop till. "How much..."
he panted, "How much is a Lost Desert...Dagger?"
The yellow JubJub thought for a moment.
"Hmmm...there's one for about 24,000 at 157326 Cairn Close, Neopia Central.
Oh!" the Shop Wizard gasped. "There's another one at the same place...and
they just lowered the price to 23,500 NP!"
The Meerca shouted a thank you as
he ran off. It didn't take him long to find the place, so he ran up to
the door and knocked. A dark-haired girl with a stern expression on her
face answered the door with a blue Shoyru close behind. Her face softened
when she saw who it was. "Can I help you?"
Tin rested a bit as he nodded. When
he got his breath back, he asked her, "Are you still selling those Lost
Desert Daggers?"
The girl stared at him for moment,
and then laughed. "I'm sorry. That's next door. Where's your owner?"
Tin walked through the yard to go
buy the weapons, and noticed the girl, the Shoyru, and a Warf following
him. Sighing, he finally answered them. "She's fighting with Sloth, and
I'm a bit worried about her, since she doesn't seem to be the kind of person
that gets into fights." He looked behind him, and noticed that the three
had stopped in their tracks. He took this opportunity to visit the shop
with the daggers, which had lowered in price by a hundred. When he came
out of the shop, the girl was waiting.
"What do you mean?" she asked. "Only
Neopets can battle, and they can only fight Sloth during a war with him,
or at least, that's what I heard."
"Long story short: Sloth kidnapped
her, and she's angry."
The Shoyru, surprised, flew in front
of Tin. "WHAT did you say?!" Tin repeated himself as he ran, which prompted
the Shoyru to speak again. "But Sloth only brought Mala here!"
By this time, they had gotten back
to Sarah's house. She was kicking Sloth wherever she could, not worrying
about her aim, as he kept punching her. Neither of them noticed the guests.
The girl that the Shoyru called Mala took one look at the scene, and jumped
onto Frank's back, knocking him down.
Dr. Frank Sloth could handle armies
of Neopets, Faeries, and angry mutant Neopets. If he failed, it was never
in a REAL fight between himself and another. Unfortunately, he had never
prepared to be attacked by two enraged teenage girls, which resulted in
a humiliating defeat in a matter of seconds.
"I told you, Sloth," Sarah spat as
she wiped her bloody nose. "Don't ever do that to me. You have no
idea how long I've wanted to read that book. As you can see, I get angry
when I'm interrupted while reading."
Mala looked at the hurt Faerie. "Who
are you? I don't remember a Faerie dressed that way."
"I'm Sailorc27. Sloth kidnapped me
from Earth. Long story. Wanna get rid of the green idiot before we talk?"
"Sure."
As soon as he was released from the
two girls, he ran away.
"What a wimp," Mala commented.
Sarah shook her head. "If I know him,
he wasn't trying to get away from us. He's gonna go plot revenge. Come
on, I wanna enjoy my freedom while I've got it."
§~*~*~§
Malathyne sat at Sarah's kitchen table,
drinking a Cup of Hot Borovan as the Ocean Faerie went to the Safety Deposit
Box in her room to get a towel for her bloody nose. It wasn't that Sarah
was stingy about people eating or drinking away from the table. It just
happened to be the only piece of furniture besides the beds. She was staring
at the cardboard walls when Sarah came back in, with her nosebleed gone,
and holding a towel. "You okay?" she asked the girl.
"I'm fine," replied Mala. "Just a
few scratches. So you said Sloth kidnapped you??"
"Mmm-hmm," Sarah mumbled a reply as
she stood for a moment as she tapped her chin. "THAT'S RIGHT!" she suddenly
shouted. She looked over at Mala, who had jumped and spilt the drink all
over herself. "Sorry. I was trying to figure out what I had done to that
Ice Mote. I just remembered that I never had one. It was a Salt Mote that
I had." She let out an embarassed laugh before pointing her finger at the
mess. Nothing happened. "Dang. I was hoping that would work." She snapped
her fingers, and the mess dissapeared, to the amazement of both girls.
"Well, Morning Moon. Never thought of that."
Mala looked up and smiled. "It's okay.
Anyway, I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Malathyne, also known as
Alexi. How about you?"
"Sailorc27, ay-kay-ay Sarah. I planned
on looking for you sometime. Howdja find me?"
Alexi raised her eyebrows. "Your Meerca
came to the wrong Neohome. Why were you gonna look for me?"
"Fyora told me about you. She--OH!"
Sarah's eyes lit up. "I love this song!" Seeing Alexi's confused look,
she explained. "I found some headphones on the ground a while ago. I put
a link to google.com in my shop so I could go there, and then I got a few
MP3's. This one is so...I dunno...perky! It's sung by Ami-chan from a show
called Sailor Moon. Do ya watch it?" Without waiting for an answer, she
continued. "It's really great! You see--"
"Don't start," Tin interrupted. "Sorry,
Malathyne. She'll never stop if you start listening. Actually, she'll continue
even if you aren't."
"Just because I got a sore throat
the day I was telling you about it is no excuse to pick on me," the Faerie
defended herself. "It could have happened to anyone."
"But sore throats that occur out of
nowhere are usually caused by talking too much! That, and Ugga Ugga, but
that only happens to Neopets."
Alexi giggled at the argument as Sarah
stood up. "Just be glad I didn't rant about Arwench and how
Peter Jackson is messing up the movie. They make it sound like Aragorn's
gonna cheat on her. Well, actually, he is. With Sam. But I don't blame
him, since his future wife stole Glorfindel's part. Frodo could have gotten
to Rivendell on his own, thank you!"
"BOROVAN!" Tin shouted. "Why must
you rant on and on about her? And why do you insist Sam loves Aragorn?!
Just because one fanfic says so doesn't mean it's true!"
Sarah smiled smugly. "Oh, I have proof."
She pulled a piece of paper out of her pocket and showed it to Tin. It
had a picture of two people in white shirts, with the faces of Samwise
and Aragorn pasted on using a computer program. It looked incredibly fake.
Alexi was staring at the two as Tin
pointed out that one of Sarah's friends made the picture, while Sarah said
it was good enough to prove the theory. "Maybe I should come by another
time?" she suggested as she stood up.
Sarah stopped in the middle of her
sentence and looked up, embarrassed. "I'm sorry. I got carried away. I
didn't mean to argue in front of you." She looked down at her Meerca. "What
did you come in here for in the first place?"
"I came to give you these daggers.
I got them for you to fight against Sloth with, but you didn't need them.
Figured you might want to sell them, since they cost so much." With that,
he handed her two Lost Desert Daggers and left. Sarah inspected them. They
were in nice shape. Shiny, sharp, lightweight…they seemed like nice weapons.
Having absolutely no experience in weapons except what she played on video
games, there was only one way to find out how good they were.
"Hey, Alexi," Sarah asked, "do you
want to come with me to the battledome?"
Malathyne waved her hands. "No, I
have a few things to do. Haven't done the daily freebies yet. It was nice
to meet you, though."
The Faerie smiled. "You too. Sorry
about earlier."
Alexi, her blue Shoyru, who had been
introduced earlier as Jeremy_200225, and Jeremy's Warf, Ringo walked to
the door with Sarah. As they headed off back to their home, Sarah noticed
a Zafara. Normally, she would have thought of it as just another Neopet,
but this one was about 5 feet tall. And it was coming towards her. About
halfway into the yard, it stopped and wrote a note, and continued. A few
seconds later, a Neomessage appeared in front of Sarah. Apparantly, it
wasn't Neomail, but a something else. It said simply:
Tlaren wants to be your neofriend.
Do you accept?
Accept Reject
She shrugged and touched "accept,"
hoping she wouldn't have to go inside and get a pencil to answer. Fortunately,
it worked, and the paper disappeared, revealing that the Zafara was in
front of her. Sarah jumped back in surprise as she gave a small gasp.
"I'm sorry I scared you," the Zafara
said, apparantly a guy. "I'm Tlaren. I happened to notice your black eye,
and figured you might want a healing potion. Here you go." With that, he
handed her a small bottle, labeled "Healing Potion X." Sarah stared for
a moment, a bit surprised that a complete stranger would just give away
a healing potion, especially this close to the war. Slowly, she came to
her senses.
"Th-Thank you. Very much. Is there
anything you want in return? I have a few neopoints and some plushies,
if--"
Tlaren interrupted. "It's okay. All
you have to do is keep fighting that Sloth guy like you were earlier. You
did pretty well for your first fight."
Sarah looked at him curiously. "How
did you know it was my first?"
He smiled before replying, "I've watched
a few movies and fights myself. After awhile, you can just tell, although
I don't know how. See you around!" With that, Tlaren walked away, leaving
Sarah wondering about this mysterious but friendly Zafara.
"Well," she said after awhile, "That
was very random. Nice, but very, very random. If I didn't know any better,
I'd swear I was a character in a story, and the author used that out of
desperation to get rid of writer's block..."
Just then, a Chia ran out into the
street, shouting four words: "THE WAR HAS BEGUN!"

I joined Meridell! And I'm about to go fight! The expression "Morning Moon" came from the song I happened to be listening to at the time...and the song that Ami-chan was singing that was perky... it's called "Someday, Somebody." It really is perky! ^_^ ---My new favorite face.
AND IT WASN'T MY FAULT IT TOOK SO LONG! I had writer's block. Then we spent a few weeks moving. Actually, we still are. I'm typing this on my mom's computer, but I have to upload it on my gramma's, since that has internet access.
Sorry if I got your personalities wrong, T'laren and Mala! I found out I'm not too great at them. Need to work on those!
Next chapter: WAR!
