Part 4, Purr, Freckels, Princess and Liloc

"So what do you three want for Breakfast?" asked Jasmine to her three Gelerts. Freckels, the purple one, with pink bows on her ears and a big pink bow on her tail, Princess, a Christmas Gelert all red with white bows on her ears, a holly wreath around her neck and a white stomach, and Lake, blue with a green scarf.

"Anything but omelet." groaned Princess.

Jasmine laughed. "OK, not omelet. How about some fruit? We have a Tigersquash, some Ubmarines, a whole tone of Teachie fruit and…" she never finished. Just as she opened the fruit cabnett all the Teachie fruits fell on her. (She was right, it was really a ton) The three Gelerts jumped on the pile of fruit and began to eat their breakfast, between bites of Teachi fruit, they dug at the base of the pile to free their owner.

After finishing their breakfast the three went upstairs and brushed their teeth and fur. Then they went downstairs and grabbed a lunchbox each. They then put on a backpack matching their color.

"Are you three ready for your first day of neoschool?" asked Jasmine to her Gelerts.

"Yeah, come on, let's go!" replied the Gelerts, ready to bound out of the door.

"OK, well then, let's go!" said Jasmine, putting on a small drawstring bag of her own.

By the time the four of them got to neoschool, Freckels was dragging.

"Man Freckels, if you're in that bad'a shape how come you always beat me in races?" asked Lake.

"My backpack's so heavy! What's in here anyway?" Freckels began to search through her pack when a little white head popped up. "Purr? What are you doing here! You have to go home!" Freckels yelled as she took the little Angelpuss from her bag and gave her to Jasmine.

"Can you run her home mom?" asked Freckels.

"Sure! And we'll be back to pick you three up at three. Bye! Have fun on your first day of neoschool!" Jasmine waved as the bell rang and the three Gelerts ran in the school.

That afternoon Jasmine and Purr were there to pick up the Gelerts. "So how was your first day?" asked Jasmine.

"It was OK." replied all three Gelerts, one at a time, all in a row.

When they got home, Jasmine started naming off choices for dinner.

"And omelet and Tigersquash cake, or that ancient Negg, that thing's been in the cabinet since before we moved in!" on and on she went and suddenly, she froze.

"Mom? Mom what's up?" asked Lake as she walked closer to Jasmine's still figure. All of a sudden Jasmine's feet had ice cubes around them. The ice cubes stated to grow up to her knees. She was being incased in ice! Lake walked up to her and put her nose on Jasmine's frozen leg. Lake's nose was then incased in the ice! She tried to break it off with her paws but that just got her paws incased in the ice too. Princess and Freckels looked on with wide eyes as their owner's form became completely incased in ice. Then the ice split apart and Jasmine vanished. A weird glowing ball then came from the ice and went into the sky until it vanished from the Gelert's view. Lake's body, other than her face was covered in the ice. She looked at her sisters with terrified eyes. Then her face was frozen in the ice too. But unlike Jasmine, the ice didn't break apart. Suddenly, Freckel's paws had the ice on them. The two remaining Gelerts looked at each other and ran. Freckels took the back door and Princess took the front. Purr was sitting and meowing by the front door. Princess grabbed her by the scruff of her neck and kept running. She just couldn't leave her sister's pet in the house with that weird ice thing going on!

A few weeks later, after seeing hide nor hair of her sister, Princess had given up hope that either sister was alive. One day, she came upon a kill. She sniffed it and found that it was made by Lupes and Kougras. A wild pack of Neopets! She'd always wondered what it was like to live in the wild. Here was her chance! She spend days following the scent and finally came across a sleeping Mutant Lupe. She decided to hide in the bushed until dawn. When the Lupe woke up she came to him and offered her help. He thought a moment and decided that she was a strong runner, so she would make a good hunter, therefore she would make a good pack member. He accepted her as a pack member. This Lupe was Dragon.

A few days later, after Princess had met the rest of the pack, they stumbled upon a purple Gelert.

"Freckels, is that you?" asked Princess, not believing what she was seeing.

"Princess, Purr, you two survived? How are you doing?" responded the familiar purple Gelert who no longer had ice on her paws.

So Princess explained, to the pack and her sister everything that had happened. Freckels was quickly accepted into the pack.

A few weeks after Freckels showed up, they stumbled upon a hurt Faerie Ixi. Dragon wanted to eat her but the Saphire and the other girls wanted to keep her. Something about their ethics and not killing a hurt Ixi begging for mercy. Guess that proves that when a guy's hungry, a guy's hungry and he doesn't give a freaking care about ethics. Dragon compromised and the Faerie Ixi joined the pack.

"What's your name?" asked Dragon.

"My name's Liloc." smiled the Faerie Ixi.
