An Ownerless Week!
Aebli, Aljentra, c1620, DaizyMai_V, Knoddle and Unitesa are all alone
for a week, as their owner, aljentra has to go to a school camp. Will
they drive each other insane, or manage to quietly resolve their
differenes and keep their house clean? Why not find out!
A/N: I do not, unfortunately, own Neopets, but the pet and story line
are both mine and are copyrighted as such. Yes, kloudwoolf is my
brother, and I have his permission to use both him and his pet in this
story. By the way, if such an opportunity is provided, I'd be happy to
do a story about your pet (please, I'm an out of work author!), so
long as your request is polite and provided with details about what
you would like to happen. Thank you!
Chapter 1:
Aljentra stood at the door of her Neohome, looking doubtfully at the
assembled line of pets and petpets before her. Her family was big -
and would the mess she came home to be even bigger? After all, there
were six pets - Aebli, the strawberry Poogle, Aljentra, the checkered
Aisha, c1620, a starry Kiko, DaizyMai_V, a Striped Kau, Knoddle, the
desert Poogle and Unitesa, the Uni with an obsession for chocolate
that matched her coat of brown hue.
She was now not sure that leaving them home...alone was such a good
idea. But then again, her brother, Kloudwoolf, had said he would be
able to check in on them from time to time, and Aljentra, DaizyMai_V
and c1620 were responsible enough. And anyway, it was only a week.
"So you know where all the neopoints you're going to need are? And
where to get food?"
Aebli, the youngest of the bunch, piped up: "Yes mum, we haven't lived
with you so long that we haven't picked this up, you know." Aljentra
grinned fondly at her small poogle. She picked her up and gave her a
hug. "Alright then, I'm sure you'll all be fine. Now listen, there's a
list of emergency numbers in the -"
"Kitchen." All six pets recited back at her.
"Right. And you have to brush your teeth - "
"Every night."
"Stop doing - "
"That!" Aebli, Knoddle and Unitesa started to giggle, and aljentra
mock fainted with exasperation.
"Well, if you know the rules off by heart, then there won't be any
'forgetting' them, alright?" She looked pointedly at Aebli, Knoddle
and Unitesa, the troublemakers of the family...and terrors of Neopia.
"And last but not least...NO -"
"PARTIES! With that, Knoddle, Aebli and Unitesa started to collapse
over the couch, laughing madly.
"I mean it you three. Just because you're all incredibly cute will not
give you extra privileges. Okay?"
The three mentioned pets' heads drooped to the floor, deliberately
looking like victims of severe child abuse. DaizyMai_V gave a snort of
a giggle, and aljentra sighed dramatically.
"I guess that's all, then. Have fun, just don't get into too much
trouble." She swooped down on each pet, gave them a hug and a kiss on
the head, and DaizyMai_V hugged aljentra extra tightly, and with a few
tears in her eyes. She was a bit of a loner - very sweet, kind and
funny once you got to know her, but shy, and with not very many
friends. Having her beloved owner leave for a week was going to be
especially hard for her - and Aljentra was a few years older, and
Aebli, Knoddle and Unitesa were such a tight knit group already. Yes,
this would be very hard for her. But then, aljentra reflected, It
might teach her some independence. Anyway, it's only a week.
"Oh, I really wish I could bring you, bring you all...I love you! But
bye!" And with ten creatures of Neopia waving at her, she turned
around and stepped into the taxi, which had been waiting impatiently
for the past twenty minutes. Waving from the back of the automobile,
aljentra gave them a big smile, and then turned a corner and out of
their lives for a week.
As the rest of the day dragged on, each pet could be found in one of
their favourite haunts, doing what they did best. Aebli, Knoddle,
Unitesa, Larwhoon and Clunkit were shopping, as was their tradition,
in Faerieland; DaizyMai_V was reading the poetry that had just been
submitted; Aljentra was on the phone to one of her friends whilst
cleaning up the kitchen and C (birth name c1620) was wandering idly
over Meridell, enjoying the quiet scenery of that marvelous place. He
often did that on his spare days, catching a bus to wherever he wished
to spend the day, with a packed picnic lunch and everything.
None, except for DaizyMai_V and C were wondering about their absent
parent - which is not to say that the others didn't care, it was only
that the rest were so very pre-occupied with their own affairs. Both C
and DaizyMai_V, whether they knew it or not, also were thinking the
same thing: How long would they last without supervision? It was an
interesting question, one sure to bring an even more interesting
answer within the seven days they had to find out.
