You wouldn't HAVE to have read the first one to understand this one. The first one was like an introduction to the characters. If you want to know the exact way certain things happened, like how Brandy found out about Jessi's secret identity or how Sloth was defeated, you'd have to read that one though.
This is the sequel to "NeoMoon Star"! Hope you enjoy the first chapter! This one will be a better fic than the first one. In the time between writing the two fics, I have improved my writing. On with the story!
NOTE: For some reason, when writing this one, I spelled Jessie's name without the "e" (making it Jessi instead of Jessie)so that will be what I will be referring to her as. I didn't want you to think they were two different people! ;P

Chapter 1: "Best Friend Worries"
"Jessi, slow down!" Brandy called to her best friend. Jessi stopped, looking back at Brandy. Amber had kept up with Jessi but Sapphire was with Brandy. Sapphire panted, "Jessi, you're just too fast for us. You're used to running long distances but Brandy and I aren't. How about you and Amber race each other and I go up against Brandy?"
"It would be more fair," Amber agreed.
"All right. Let's go, Amber!" Jessi said, getting ahead of the White Usul. Amber quickly caught up.
Brandy and Sapphire jogged at their own paces. "Have you noticed how Jessi's changed since she and NeoMoon Crystal defeated Sloth? And her family practically came back from the dead. She seems happy and carefree." Brandy said.
Then a voice came from behind them, "Well, do you blame her? All those years she thought I was her adopted mother. Think about it, Brandy."
Brandy turned around, "Oh, hi Mrs. Stephens. I guess you're right. I'm happy for Jessi. She wanted her life back to normal. Sloth was defeated and no Mutants have attacked for five months. Maybe Neopia will stay like this and Jessi won't have to take on the pressure of protecting Neopia again..." Brandy's voice drifted off. Sapphire looked at her, worried about her owner.
Jessi and Amber slid to a stop in front of their Neohome. "Do you think they're close behind us, Amber?"
"I don't know, Jessi. We did run pretty fast. I ran faster than you because I beat you here."
Jessi smiled, "There's a first for everything."
Meg sped up from the road, Brandy and Sapphire panting heavily behind her.
"What took you so long? Even my mom beat you." Jessi said playfully. Beside Meg, Ruby laughed at that comment.
It was later that evening and the whole family was sitting at their Kau Print Table eating dinner. Brandy was there also because her mother let her stay the night with Jessi. Sapphire was beside Amber and Ruby eating a plate of Earth Faerie Brownies for dessert.
Jessi's family had always eaten Faerie foods for as long as she could remember. No one knew it at the time, but Meg had always believed that the faeries helped NeoMoon Crystal and NeoMoon Star fight the creatures that roam Neopia. She believed that the certain faeries gave them their own certain powers. For example, the Fire Faerie gave NeoMoon Star her Flaming Neggs attack. She never proved that the faeries came down from Faerieland and granted her her powers because she'd never seen them. Meg thought that buying faerie's fod was a kind of thanks.
"Mom." Jessi broke Meg's train of thought. "Mom, do you sense something wrong with Brandy?" Jessi asked her. Brandy had gone upstairs to get ready for bed.
Meg assured her daughter, "She's just worried about you, Jessi. She's worried for some reason Neopia with need NeoMoon Star again and she doesn't want your life endangered again."
Zac broke in the conversation, "But NeoMoon Star would have NeoMoon Crystal to help her out, right?"
As Jessi walked upstairs, Sapphire and Amber at her heels, she wondered why Brandy would think that. Does she know something I don't? She walked over to the glass case that held the power stick that transforms her into NeoMoon Star. Beside it was her mother's power stick which she used to transform into NeoMoon Crystal.
Jessi snuck a peek at Brandy. Sleeping like a baby. Sapphire walked beside the sleeping Brandy and lay down. She was quickly snoring.
"Come on, Amber. It's time for us to hit the sack also." Jessi lay in her bed but she didn't go to sleep. She thought about Brandy. Amber thought about Sapphire and how sometimes she would see the Blue Gelert and her owner whispering. If she knows something we don't, why doesn't she tell Jessi? After all, she is the defender of Neopia...
Unknown to anyone in the house, in the next room over, was the glass case with the power sticks in it. Inside, the small power sticks were glowing, calling to their owners.
So, review and tell me if it was a good first chapter! Until next time!
