Hi everyone! ^_^ Thanks for all of the awesome reviews! I am happy...:) Well, my self-esteem was boosted so much(and Links was batting my head around like a ball of yarn) that I decided to write the third chapter! *gasps* YAY!!!

Disclaimer: I do not own Neopets. At least, I think I don't own Neopets. If I did own Neopets then I obviously wouldn't be the person I think I am. *shudders* Disturbing.

Scorpio awoke reeaally slowly when her ears started hurting. Yawning, she realized they had landed in California. Time to go to the Neopets-company place, she thought. She leaned over to Bryan.

"Where are you going, anyway?" she said. Bryan looked up drowsily. "We're just going on vacation," he said. "You know, Disneyland and junk."

She thought hard. "Well, I'm going to visit the Neopets company, to find out why they really shut down. Everyone knows it cant be money."

Bryan raised an eyebrow. "Flying to California, by yourself, no hotel rented, just to stop a website from closing down? Jeez, you're--"

"-Stupid, I know," sighed Scorpio. Bryan shrugged. "Well, I was going to say 'psycho', but now that you mention it..."

"Whatever," interrupted Scorpio rather rudely. "So do you wanna go too?"

Bryan sighed. "Sure. What've I got to lose? Just a vacation, swiming by the beach, relaxation, 3-D movies--"

"Yea yea whatever," said Scorpio. "It'll be fun! It'll make up for everything you miss, I promise!"

"How do I know I can trust you?" said Bryan. Scorpio pretended to fall asleep.

{Later, in fancy braces...}



"Why am I doing this?!" whined Bryan.

"Um, because you like Neopets maybe?" replied Scorpio.

Bryan sighed. "I hate you."

But hating Scorpio did him no good as she prepared to knock on the company door. She payed little attention to the fact that the building was burning up in flames, huge screams were coming from within, and the place was in wrecks. She didnt pay much attention to that sort of thing, as she was stu--um, unintellectual.

After knocking seven times very heavily on the door, a woman answered breathlessly. "The...the...the...ooohh," she moaned, fainting. Scorpio and Bryan looked on in shock. Then Bryan had to pull Scorpio inside because he was brave and Scorpio was scared.

Once inside, the two realized that the place was utter chaos. A yellow beanbag creature was being chased around the building by a giant blue wolf. There was a huge, snot-covered, mouse-like thing, prowling around and easily chomping through the walls. A dark shadow slinked across the walls, darting this way and that. To boot, the entire Neopets staff was either hiding somewhere or being chased by an evil-looking thing. Bryan looked around. "What HAPPENED to this place?!" he cried. A weary looking man crawled up and seemed to plead to Bryan and Scorpio in a way that seemed rather pathetic.

"Please," he moaned, "Help us. We created an invention that has ruined the world and cannot be fixed. You two look like the only ones stup--I mean, brave, enough to help us!," he moaned.

Bryan stared wide-eyed. "W-w-what do you want us to do?" stuttered Scorpio.

The man moaned. "This invention we created, it takes data from computers and creates DNA. Every little gigabyte is transformed into a sliver of DNA. With this machine, computer images may be turned into real, living, breathing, feeling creatures! The Neopets Team figured they could actually make pets for people. Actual, real pets. Everyone knew it was wrong but felt they had no right to protest. The machines worked; the first living, breathing Neopet, a Blue Ixi named Trianaé, was created. But then someone had the bright idea to test it out on a villian. Namely, the Shadow Usul." He shook his head. "The Shadow Usul created utter chaos. She released other villains, like Meuka and the Spider Grundo. Before long, with her brilliant mind, she engineered the machines to let loose larger, more powerful villians like Jhudora and Dr. Sloth. She even took care to release pets that just dont mix--namely, Chias and Lupes and Gelerts and Unis. Now there's only one way to fix it, but no one is stupid--er, brave--enough to do it."

"W-w-what is it?" shuddered Scorpio.

He looked up. "You have to go into the machine and transvert your DNA to computerized gigabytes. You will be able to go into the computers and fix this problem!"

"Um, okay...come on Scorpio..."said Bryan. Scorpio, still extremely scared, stepped into the machine. Bryan stepped in to, and pushed the shiny red button. In an instant, their blood, flesh, bones, muscles and all the other human make-ups transformed into a gigabytish style. Soon, they were nothing more than computer images. And man, it was cool.

[Later, in cool...um...thingies...]

Scorpio danced around happily. She was in Neopets! She was with all the Aishas, and Kougras, and Wockies, and Eyries, and Acaras, and Lupes, and Gelerts, and Zafaras, and Scorchios, and Shoyrus, and Draiks, and Ixis, and Skeiths, and Tonus, and Lennies, and--oh, well, you know, the Neopets.

Bryan, however, was not skipping around like a lunatic. He was thinking about exactly what they had to do. Probably ask a Faerie for help, he thought. However, I dont know how a measly little Faerie could help us out in a time like this...better to ask someone with power. Um...well...there was Fyora, but...okay, whatever, Fyora.

"---------!!!!" he yelled to Scorpio, who raised an eyebrow. "Please," she said,"Here, call me Scorpio. Scorpio Moonlight."

He shrugged. "Look, I dont really care about names, but what the heck are we gonna DO!?"

Scorpio thought. "How about we ask some Neopets about where the problem is?"

Bryan turned on his heel. "But WHO!?"

She pointed to two Unis who were grazing nearby. Bryan and Scorpio walked over. "Hello," said Bryan to the Darigan one, "Can you help us with something?"

"Yeah," said Scorpio to the Christmas one next to it. "We could use some help,".

The Unis looked at each other and laughed. "Sure," said the Christmas one. "What do you need?"

"Well, said Bryan, "We could use directions to Faerieland, or Faerieworld, or whatever it's called."

The Darigan Uni nodded. "Directions? Who needs directions? We're not doing anything at the moment. Hop on our backs and we'll give you a lift!"

The Christmas one was a little skeptical of this idea; after all, Unis are supposed to be honorable Neopets and didn't find enjoyment in humans sitting on them like chairs. But after Scorpio and Bryan explained what they were doing, the Unis were more than eager to help. After all, is it every day you get to lead idiots towards certain doom--I mean, help save the world?

So, the kids talked to their new friends(whose names were Christy and Darren) as they enjoyed flying up to Faerieworld/land/whatever. "So, you're going to fix a problem created by the Shadow Usul, huh?" said Christy, the Christmas Uni. Scorpio nodded. "I felt bored, so I felt like I should do it, you know?"

Bryan scowled. "I had to DRAG you in here! You were PETRIFIED!"

Scorpio put her hands on her chest and made a weird face. "Lil' ol ME!? I'm not afraid of anythin'!"

Christy coughed to cover her laughter(wow, have you ever heard a Uni laugh? No, of course you haven't. It's weird, just so you know.) "Oops," she faked, "Wow, this is a strong gust of wind! I might tip over a little!"

"AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" shrieked Scorpio, clamping on to the Uni's wreath. She laughed. "Just kidding!"

Scorpio glared. "That wasn't funny!"

"Yes it was!" yelled Bryan, who was going into conniptions from laughing too much.

"Oh, shut up," murmured Scorpio. This was going to be a long journey. She wished she had a saddle...
