Sorry it took so long for this chapter. But it doesn't matter anyway, because you'll all hate me after this chapter. Yeah, there's a bad cliffhanger at the end.

"NeoMoon Star"
Chapter 4

"Your real parents? But how does that Usul know?"

"I don't know, Brandy."

The Usul ran up to Brandy, "Are you Jessica Stephens?"

"She is." Brandy pointed to Jessie. The Usul looked at Jessie then at a picture in its paw, "Jessica Stephens. You're her."

Jessie was confused, "I'm who?"

A voice came from the dark corner, "You're Jessica Stephens. NeoMoon Star."

"How do you know?!"

"I know alot about you, Jessica... And your mother, NeoMoon Crystal."

"Fine, you know who I am. Now who are you?"

"You're just like your mother."

"That doesn't answer my question, mister!"

"I am... Zac Stephens. Ruby," he pointed to the White Usul beside him, "Is my Usul."

"But you're a Stephens..."

"Of course I am. What other last name would your father have?"

"My father?!?"

"That's right."

Mrs. Barnes ran behind Jessie, "Zac! There you are!"

Zac said, "Yes, Meg, early but here."

Jessie looked at her, "We need to talk alone."

Meg left. Jessie looked at Ruby, "Who's are you?"

"Your mother's. I saw her die. I, fortunately, escaped and I've stayed with Zac ever since."

"How horrible..."

They heard a scream. Jessie looked at the Fire Meerca, "Seems Sloth is impatient... Neopian Star Pow--!"

Meg said, "What are you talking about that I couldn't hear? And I didn't know you made a power stick like NeoMoon Star's, Jessie. Jessie?"

Jessie was gone. NeoMoon Star was fighting the Fire Meerca. She was getting burned. Amber and Ruby both used their Magic Pebbles ability but it didn't help. Star jumped over the Meerca's tail swing.

Zac watched, "She really is her mother's child."

"How would you know?" Meg asked him.

"I have my reasons."

Two Quench abilities from Amber and Ruby defeated the Meerca. It crawled wearily back to Sloth. Star thanked Amber and Ruby and leaped off.

Meg said, "Jessie disappeared again."

Jessie walked up to her, "You were worried about me?"

"Jessie! Don't scare me like that again!"

"Yeah, I know."

The next day, Jessie, Brandy, Ruby, Amber and Sapphire were in Jessie's room.

"Are you happy your dad is here?" Brandy asked her.

"I don't know what to think. Him coming here could be a good or bad sign."

"That's true."

Ruby said, "I've always wanted to meet you, Jessica, especially after your mom passed away."

"Oh, really? Ever since that Mutant Kacheek came, almost everyone I know has found out about me and now he's here! Why can't my life be like it was before all this happened?" She slammed the door and stormed out.

Sloth was rampaging the town, looking for NeoMoon Star. He was mad at her because she kept defeating his minions. With Meg watching, Jessie didn't want to transform. Sloth said, "Do any of you know where NeoMoon Star is?" He kept destroying things.

Jim, who was visiting, looked at Jessie, "Jessie, go ahead!"

"Go ahead and do what?"

"Sloth wants NeoMoon Star. So go ahead and transform!"

"How do you know that?!?"

"I've known for years. Now hurry!"

"Right. Neopian Star Power!" She completely forgot about Meg. Meg didn't say nothing. She just smiled.

NeoMoon Star's attacks did nothing to Sloth. Sloth laughed, "You're weak!"

"No! You killed my mother, now you'll pay!"

"She was weak, too!"

Star growled in anger, "Flaming Neggs!"

Sloth hit them away, "You're weak just like you're mother!"

"Don't talk about my mother!"

Meg stepped beside Star, "You need help, Jessie?"

"Huh?"

Meg held up a power stick, "Neopian... Crystal... Power!"

Told you that you'd hate me. LOL.

Now, if you think about that last phrase said(think about what Jessie says to transform), exactly who is Meg? Review and I'll get the last chapter of "NeoMoon Star" out! Then there's a sequel!
