The Rain.

It poured rain. Summer walked aroud the neohome. Rall looked out the window wishing he could play. The storm messed up the tv. It was all static. Lakeyta and Sammy sighed. Kinkong tryed to play with Juice,Buggy, and Longnose. But they were to scared of the rhunder to play.

"It's just noise. There's nothing to be scared of." The blue Broi told them.

Summer walked to the back door. She looked at the back yard threw the glass in the door. She saw that their pool was over flooding. Their back porch was covered in water. And it had a cover over it! Rall walked into the room to play with the petpets. Summer thought of how the rain had been here since yesterday and didn't leave while Lakeyta and Sammy tryed to find a working channle. They found the news channle.

"Summer! We can see how bad the storm is!" Sammy called.

Summer walked over to the couch not even noticing rall and Kinkong fight over who got to play with LongNose. She sat down and watched the tv. A blue Bruce in a suite was on the tv.

"There is a 55 chance of the storm lasting untill tomorrow in Neopia Central." The bruce said. "It is not suggested that you go outside. The Yooyuball game in Neopia Central has been canceled. Please keep all petpets inside. If they are outside petpets put them in a cage. Just keep them inside. We do have a flash flood wash going on for Neopia Central. This strom gose from Neopia Central to Meridrell. You should keep away from trees. If there is a tree in your front or back yard go to friends house. Trees act as lighting rods. Other than that, stay insi... In Meridel...strom... stay...will last...do go...side..."

The storm cut of the tv signal. Summer got up and grabbed her rain coat.

"We have two trees in the front yard and one in the back. Let's go. Put the Petpets in their carriers." Summer said.

She put on the coat and her rain boots. The boys tryed to put the petpets in their carriers, but the petpets got a sudden rush of energy. Buggy tryed to go to the petpet door to get outside. Sammy ran to him. She picked him up.

"No, Bug-Bug. We need to stay inside." She said to him.

She put him in the carrier. Lakeyta walked up to Summer who was putting on her rain hat. The red Usul put on her rain gear.

"Were are we going?" She asked grabbing her rain boots.

"Some were safe." Summer said bennding down to button up Lakeyta's rain coat which she did not do.

Samantha(Sammy) put on her rain gear when there was a big bang on the door. Summer ran to the door. Her boots made a squeaky noise.

"Hello?" She said as she opened it.

"Summer! Please help me!" A red female Lupe cryed.

"Mrs.Henderson. Whats wrong?" Sammy asked as she walkled up to the two.

"My son, Robert, and his cousin went missing!" She cryed holding on to her rain hat so the wind would not blow it away. "They were playong n the back yard. I was yelling at tem to come inside when the baby cryed. I went to go pick him up and when I came back the boys were gone!"

"Ok. Rall. Kinkong. Find a petpetsitter. Then come help us." Lakeyta said.

The 4 girls walked out in their rain gear. The boys cought up fast. They looked all over for Robert and his cousin. They looked at the toy shop. They were no were. They looked at the kadoatery kennle. No luck. The looked high and low for those two. Nothing.

"I told you we should of looked at the uski shop, but no. You had to have it your way." Kinkong said to Rall.

"Your the one who came up with the dum idea of looking for them in the kadoatery kennle!" Rall said.

"Well Lakeyta came up with the idea of looking for them at the libary. Why would they be at the libary? Nobody likes to read!" Kin said.

"Plenty of pepole like to read. Like me,Summer, and Sammy. So I don't what to hear it!" She yelled.

"I'll never find them! WWWAAAAA! WWWWAAAA!" Mrs.Henderson cryed.

Between the three that were fighting and the crying mother Sammy and Summer couldn't think. Something inside the normaly peacfull Summer snaped. She couldn't take it anymore.

"Enough! Your all standing here looking like a bunch of babies in the rain! Get a hold of your selves!" She screamed.

Everybody stoped. They stared at her. She calmed herself down as Mrs.Henderson sniffeled.

"Now, we tryed as a team, but we need to split up. Rall and Kinkong you go to the west." Summer pointed to the west."Lakeyta, you go with Mrs.Henderson to the east. Me and Samantha will look north. We'll all meet up in the south. Then we'll look there and in the center of town. Two young neopets can't of gone far."

Kinkong took the phrase 'split up' literaly. He grabbed his right arm and began to pull. Samantha just shook her head.

" 'Split up' means go seprate ways." She said.

They split up. Rall and Kinkong looked around.

"This way. They could be this way." Kinkong said.

"Thats were Sammy ans Summer are. We need to meet them south." Rall said fixing his rain hat so it would not fall off.

The rain fell harder than ever.

"No. Their in the north. This is north west. And we need to search all of the north." He said.

"This way." Was all Rall had to say.

"This way!" KinKong said back.

"THIS WAY!" Rall argued.

They began to fight. They took all the time that it took the others to get to the south side to end the fight. On the east side Lakeyta and Mrs.Henderson were haveing bad luck. A neopet drove past them in a car. It was hrad but he did it in those flooded streets. The two were splashed with water. Lakeyta looked at the car to see the Shadow Usul driving.

"Her! Why-o-why did I have to bump into her that one day?" Lakeyts said.

Ever since Lakeyta literlay ran into the Shadow Usul one day, Shadow Usul has been tragetting her. Back on the west side...

"THIS WAY!" Rall yelled.

"THIS WAAAAYYYYY!" Kinkong yelled back.

On the north side...

"Over there! It' a young Lupe!" Sammy ran to the yellow lupe. "Hey little guy. You ok?"

He was lying on the ground.

"Robert. We went... to see the yooyuball game... Then some robbers... took our money... Robert ran... To the south...side." He fainted.

Summer picked him up.

"We've got 20 minutes to be at the south side. Let's go!" Summer ran with Sammy right behind her.

back on the west side...

"If we keep fighting then we'll never find them. Let's just go to the south side!" Kinkong said.

"Fine!" The two walked too the south side.

The rest were at the south side.

"Will! He's safe!" Mrs.Henderson ran to him.

"He said that Robert came here. They were attacked by robbers." Summer said.

She gave the Will to his aunt. She put him on her back.

"My poor Will. Watie. Did you say 'robbers'? Oh No! My poor baby, Robert! We have to find him." Mrs.Henderson cryed.

They splt up again looking for Robert. They searched The entire South side.

"Summer." Sammy said. "Will said Robert went south. If he went south from the north he could also be in the center of the city."

"I'll go find him." Summer ran off.

She ran as fast as she could. She panted as she ran. The rain cooled her off but the running made her hot. She ran and ran. She ran so fast she didn't see the blue Scorchio untill she ran into him.

"OOOFFFF!" She fell backwrads."I'm so sorry. I was looking for someone. I didn't see you."

"It's ok." A friendly, very familar voice said. "Let me help you up."

He offered his hand to her. She took it. She looked up to see Mr.Nobel's face through a rain hat and a trench coat.

"Thank you Mr.Nobel." She stood up. "What are you doing out in this weather?"

"I was cheecking up one the book store. And you?" He asked.

"Mrs.Henderson lost her son and nephue. We found Will. I'm looking for Robert. The two were attacked by robbers." She said.

"Well, we'd better find them." He truned around and began to walk in the derection Summer was going in.

" 'We'?" Summer asked.

"You don't think I'd let you walk aroud in this weather all alone now, do you? Come on. We have no time to lose. Who knows what trobel Roberts getting into."

They walked to the center of the city. Summer and Mr.Nobel looked for the young lupe. Mr.Nobel even tryed to fly up to get a birds-eye view. But he didn't get far. He couldn't fly in the heavy rain. Summer went door to door asking if anyone had seen him. But they got nowere. Summer sat on a tree stump with Mr.Nobel.

"If I could fly higher I would of seen him by now." Mr.Nobel said.

"It's all right. Not even my friends and Their neopets saw him." Summer said.

"Selfish!" A voice said.

"Creep." Another voice said back.

Summer and Mr.Nobel turned to see Rall and Kinkong bitting and kicking each other all the way over there. They were also insutling each other.

"Rall. Kinkong. Boys! BOYS!" Summer called.

They didn't here her.

"BOYS!" Mr.Nobel yelled at the top of his lungs.

The turned to see their owner and Mr.Nobel sitting on the tree stump.

"Hi Summer. Hi Mr.Nobel." They said at the same time.

"Boys, What happened?" Summer asked.

"Rall was being selfish. He thought of imself ober those in need." Kinkong said. "He went to get an icecreem cone."

"It was for the boys when we found them." Rall said.

"Was not. It was for you." Kinkong began to fight agian.

"I don't care! Rall, don't be selfish! Now stop it!" Summer said.

"AAAAOOOOOO!" A howl came from nowere.

"Will that howling stop! We've been hearing it for awhile." Rall said.

"I know that howl. Robert! He howls like that everynight in a howling contest with Will." Summer got up.

She ran to the howling.

"Please be him.Please be him." She said as she ran.

The others followed. They ran as fast as they could. They ran and ran. They saw him. He was lying there howling.

"Robert!" Kinkong called.

"I'm gonna get there first." Rall ran faster.

"No, I am!" Kinkong ran after him.

They fought and fought all the way there. They got there and fought over who got to help him. Summer and Mr.Nobel ran up to Robert. The blue lupe had a red scarf with yellow pokadots.

"Robert! Are you allright?" Summer asked.

"My Leg... OW!... It hurts." He said.

"I'll help!" Rall said.

"No, I will." Kinkong pushed him out of the way.

Rall pushed back. Kinkong would of landed on Robert if Summer and Mr.Nobel hadn't pushed him. Kinkong pushed Rall and Rall pushed Kinkong. Summer rolled her eyes and picked up the hurt lupe. In all of this, they didn't see the rain stop. The sun was out and the whole place was bright. Neopets were coming out of their homes with their owners. Summer and Mr.Nobel left the two fighting brothers to bring Robert back to his mom. She was at the hospital with Will.

"Robert! Your safe! Are you hurt!" She asked.

"My leg." He said.

"Let's get you checked in. Thank you Summer. You and your neopets were great. And thank you Mr.Nobel for helping." She took her son.

"Speaking of your neopets,Summer,..." Lakeyta walked up to her with Samantha."Were are Rall and Kinkong?"

"Their fighting in the Center of the city." Summer said.

"Well, It's always like them to fight." Samantha said.
