Teriteripetery, the red pteri, who lived nextdoor to Lenyloua, came running to littlelilgirls's neohome as fast as she could. She burst open the door, panting heavily. "Lenyloula!" She said between breaths. "He… got lost… in the deserted… tomb, and… I just saw… him get stuck… in a dungeon!"
Littlelilbruce, the oldest pet, came running over. "WHAT!" He screamed. "Lenyloula is in trouble!"
"Yes!" Teriteripetery screamed. "I just saw it! He was in the deserted tomb, when a door opened and he was pushed in a cell! We have to go save him!"
"Not by yourselves!" AMeeku and Littlecutiexweetok walked in, AMeeku waving his finger. "Otherwise you might end up like Lenyloula. Come on. We're all going!"
All of the pets set sail to Mystery Island, where they were on a ship. They heard the captain muttering about a stupid baby, and they went to go check it out.
"Stupid baby had to go and get itself killed!" The captain muttered.
"What are you talking about?" AMeeku asked.
"A baby lenny. It went on this ship a week and a half ago, and it almost got itself killed! It thought the lightning was pretty, and went to go touch it! I just barely saved the little fellow!" The captain was looking proud and happy for saving a neopet.
AMeeku was becoming impatient. "Which way did he go?" AMeeku finally asked.
"Ay, the ship sunk. Everyone made it to the shores of Mystery Island alive, except me boat, and I had to buy a new one! Bummer, eh?" The captain walked back to the deck of the boat, leaving orders. Everyone walked back to where Littlecutiexweetok stood over the edge, throwing up.
"You ok?" Teriteripetery asked.
Littlecutiexweetok didn't answer, but littlelilbruce answered for him. "Boats make him seasick." He said.
They all landed safely on Mystery Island, and they walked across the beach, hoping to find Lenyloula nice and safe and heading home. But when they reached the rock pool, they started to give up hope. Lenyloula was most likely in trouble, and needed help.
Meanwhile, back in the deserted tomb…
Lorely and Lenyloula sat down, with everyone else chatting about how they could never escape and they should just give up hope. Lorely insisted that they try their hardest, and she and Lenyloula sat on the ground thinking of a way to get out. "Maybe it's like in the cartoons, where you push on a magic brick and it slides out and everyone escapes!" Lenyloula suggested, but Lorley insisted that it was differn't and that the people of Geraptiku weren't that stupid.
After hours Lorely started to give up hope. "Maybe the others are right." She said. "Maybe there is no way out, and maybe we are trapped here forever."
"No way!" Lenyloula said happily. "We can all get out of here! There has to be a way!" Lenyloula's happiness gave everyone a little hope, and they all sat back down thinking of a master escape plan!
Back to the rescuers!
Littlecutiexweetok was sitting by the cooking pot, his stomach growling furiously! He hoped maybe something would fly out that they all could nibble on.
"Give it up, Xweetok!" AMeeku said. "You're not going to get anything. Now come on! Geraptiku is not very far!"
Suddenly a large coconut came up to them. "Looking for son of queen!" It said. "Anywhere did you see it?"
Littlelilbruce stared down at it. "No, we did not see son of queen." He said.
Littlecutiexweetok ran forward. "Food!" He screamed. "Do you have any food that we could have!"
The coconut gave away 2 pieces of fruit and some nuts, and they all gulped it up. Then they continued in the direction of Geraptiku, and soon they were there.
They all started towards the deserted tomb, When something stopped them. It looked like a jar of neopoints… don't people know not to leave a jar full of neopoints unguarded? Littlecutiexweetok looked at it happily. "I'm going to be rich!" He said quietly, and slowly crept towards the jar.
Littlelilbruce tugged on his fur. "Don't steal that! It belongs to someone!" He said.
"I'm sure they don't mind if I just take a few neopoints…" Littlecutiexweetok tried to tug free from the bruce's grasp, but didn't succeed.
"Stealing isn't right!" Littlelilbruce insisted, and pulled Littlecutiexweetok away. "Besides, we are here to save Lenyloula, not to steal another pet's neopoints!"
Back to the deserted tomb…
"But, maybe the next time someone gets stuck in here, if we all race out when the gate opens…" Lorley started to say, but was interrupted.
"It would never work." The korbat said. "The gate opens for about, 10 seconds. And people only come every so often. Only one of us would be able to escape, and the petpet would probably throw them back in."
"Well, if it does work, then I think we should let Lenyloula go." Lorely said. "He's just a baby, and needs to get home. His owner is probably more worried than ours."
"Yes," The korbat said, "But I've been here the longest, and I think that I deserve to go if it does work."
"Everyone, stop fighting!" Lenyloula said. "We are all getting out together! No one is left behind! As for Lorely's idea, I think it might work! One of us distracts the petpet, while another of us holds open the gate, then we all escape!"
"But it will be a long time before someone else comes down here!" The royal acara complained. "No one is stupid enough except for us to come down here! I'll bet it will be months before our plan can work!"
Everyone once again started to give up hope, but Lenyloula brought it back. "Don't give up! We may be down here a while, but that doesn't mean we can't keep trying in the meantime to try to get out!"
Lorely stood up. "I'm with Lenyloula! Who else is?"
Everyone else stood up. "We can do this!"
Outside of the deserted tomb, our other friends await!
"Come on, into the tomb!" Teriteripetery said. "We have to find Lenyloula and bring him home!" They all opened the door to the deserted tomb, and walked into the corridor. But they didn't jump when the door shut by itself, they had been here many times before and they weren't scared. They all continued on, forgetting about the treasure chest.
"Wait!" Littlecutiexweetok stopped them. "We need to look in the treasure chest!" They all looked inside, where they got… Lenyloula's dream toy! They all jumped for joy, but continued on, ready to see the look on Lenyloula's face when he got his toy.
They came to a long hallway, it seemed endless, but they kept walking, shivering at the dampness and the coldness. "If we ever make it out of here, I'm going to be so happy!" Teriteripetery exclaimed. "I'm going to tell everyone I know that I saved a baby!"
Soon they all came to a dungeon, and inside, was Lenyloula! He had a bunch of other pets with him, but when they all went to get him out, they couldn't open the door.
Suddenly, a petpet appeared behind them! It opened the dungeon, ready to push them in, but a blue aisha ran out and held the petpet back! Lenyloula ran out and held the door open, while all of the other pets ran out! Everyone made a run for it, running for their lives, with the petpet and the hissi on their tails! (Well, only the some if their tails!) They ran as fast as they could through the swampy place, until Lenyloula tripped!
The aisha ran back to help him up, but it was too late. Lenyloula got up, but the aisha didn't, and she was taken away, ever to be seen again.
"NO!" Lenyloula screamed. But Littlelilbruce scooped him up, and they all ran out of the deserted tomb, and into Geraptiku, where they were safe.
Suddenly, Littlecutiexweetok remembered Lenyloula's dream toy was still in his hands. He walked up to Lenyloula. "We finally got your toy!" He said. "Here you go!"
Lenyloula took it, gave it a hug, and smiled. He gave a quick thanks, when his smile faded. He walked back into the deserted tomb, and into the hallway, but he didn't walk on. He placed the toy on the ground. "Lorely, if you can ever find this, it's for you. As a gift of thanks, for saving me." Lenyloula walked back.
"What was that for!" AMeeku asked. "You always wanted that toy, and you just gave it away!"
"While I was in that dungeon, I realized that friendship is more important than a stupid toy! I wanted to give Lorely the toy for saving my life. You see, friendship is the most important thing in life, and you should never give that up for a toy." Everyone gave a deep sigh, realizing that Lenyloula was right. Then they all went home to their owners, who were absolutely excited to see them all again.
The next day, all of the friends went back to the deserted tomb, where they founds tons of treasure, and a note.
Dear Friends,
Here is some treasure for you. Thanks for the toy, Lenyloula, I know it was very important to you. I hope you have fun with all of these neopoints, and this wonderful plant to put in your neogarden! You are all my best friends!
Lorely.
