NTAG Adventures: The Rabid Shadow Meepits

The Afterlaugh- math

The rabid shadow meepits came pouring through. Most members were able to seeked high ground. Others were not so lucky, and were captured as prisoners. But in the end, all the members were captured and knocked out. The Grand Hall was formed into some holding cell for the members. The windows were blocked and it was dark.

They could only see by candlelight. Soon, the meepits started questioning the members by using none other than pen and paper. The members were questioned in groups. The first group to be questioned was Meep, Leah, Mashy, Nim, Dragonfly, and Nano. Though Nano was barely any use.

They were blindfolded and their hands were tied. The meepits used long sticks to poke them to the questioning room, as if they were a herd. The members could feel themselves entering another room. The blindfolds were taken off and light penetrated their eyes. The first one to be able to see clearly was Dragonfly, for she is an elf and elves... they have that kind of power.

Dragonfly saw a quite massive throne before them. Sitting upon it, was the biggest meepit she'd ever seen. Soon, the others were able to focus their eyes, too. Except for Leah. Since it would be hard to blindfold a weewoo, they decided to just throw her in a bag. So, in her case, she was able to breathe and see. Meep was silent and staring ahead. This was unusual for the hyperactive member. Nim noticed this and nudged Mashy who nudged Leah, who was thrown back quite a bit, and then she pecked at Dragonfly. But, they didn't do anything to Nano. She sat on the floor, transfixed on the ground, rocking herself and mumbling words incoherent to anyone.

"Come forth, the one they call Meep." The big meepit said, actually wrote. The meepit had the redest eyes of any of his followers, and a small, blackened crown had been placed upon his head.

Meep stepped forth and bowed. None of the members were shocked by this. Meep had a weird respect for meepits, not that any of the other members did. But sometimes, Meep just got carried away with things.

"Meep, for long times you have cared for us. You have sheltered us. You protected us from the others. For that we are eternally gratefull." The meepit had wrote. "We intend to repay you for what you have done. I give you the chance to rule beside me. Rule the rabid shadow meepits, the pink meepits, every kind of meepit you can think of."

Meep closed her eyes after she read it and then handed it down to the rest of the members. A few of them let out gasps after they finished. They all stared at Meep. She had her eyes focused on the ground, deep in thought.

"Oh for the love of cheese!" We all jumped a bit at Nano's voice. She had a stern and serious look on her face... for once. "Really Meep. To actually think about joining them. they just want to use you to get connections from the neopet and human world. You just be a pawn in thier plan. Once they rule, you won't get noticed. You'd be treated like every other human and neopets the meepits enslave."

"She's right, Meep. You can't accept. You can't..." Dragonfly's voiced faded.

Meep continued to stare. Tears formed in her eyes. The members heard a small noise from her. In fact, all the meepits were making the same noise.

"What in the...?" Mashy, who had been quiet, finally spoke. an eyebrow was raised.

The members recognized the noise that Meep and the rabid shadow meepits were making. It grew louder and louder. Meep was bursting into tears. They were laughing, laughing at Dragonfly, Nano, Nim, Mashy, and Leah! Meep was soon on the floor laughing and shouting, "Roffle!"

Meep finally calmed herself down enough to speak.

"Oh, I've got to get pictures of this. Roffle! Ahem, sorry. It's just that, it went so perfect and smooth!" Meep said.

"Well, that definately clears things up," Dragonfly said, sarcastically.

"Okay, okay. My rabid shadow meepits and I thought to well, play a prank on you. Nothing too big-" Mashy snorted at this, "Just a 'we'll look back on this day and laugh about it' kind of thing. All the other members were informed about it when we were summoned here. In fact, if you're silent enough you can hear their laughter."

Everyone hushed. Sure enough, a sound was thundering from the Grand Hall.

"We decided to have a big feast afterwards. Don't worry, my rabid shadow meepits don't like feasts. They, uh, eat other stuff. Yeah... stuff.So, how about we change and get to eating?"

There was a murmur of agreement and everyone soon began to file out. Dragonfly stayed behind. She motioned for Meep to come over to her.

"Yeah?"

"I believe you forgot someone," Dragonfly said as she pulled a rabid shadow meepit out of her hair. Meep smiled and took the meepit.

--------------------------------

"Let us forever remember this day as The Invasion of The Rabid Shadow Meepits...Or So We Thought. And let's applause Dragonfly for having a meepit in her hair for over two hours. They're always getting into trouble," Meep said.

Dragonfly blushed, her hair was wet, for she took two hours to wash her hair to make sure it was clean. Everyone sat in the long rows of tables. There was laughing and drinking of neocola.

Nano was thoroughly enjoying herself. After the prank, the five tons of cheese arrived. On the tables, there was assortments of every kind of cheese. People filled plates sat, stood, and talked. After about a couple of hours, most were full, glomped, and happy. The members started to file out to their rooms.

Dragonfly, Mashy, and Leah walked (or flew) down the halls. They each departed at their rooms. Dragonfly looked curiously at her door. The waterfall had stopped and instead there was a loud chatter coming from the inside. Dragonfly opened the door. Nithe was throwing his own party and this time, for the rabid shadow meepits. They were being party animals.

"MEEP!"
