NTAG Adventures: Through The Glass Mirror

Interruptions

Unlike the usual days at NTAG, today was a quiet day. Most were reading, writing, and there was the occasional running through the hallways. But all in all, most were relaxing. The harsh days of winter were coming to the end. Spring was arriving with new flowers, and even new neopets. On this particular day, Dragonfly was in the Grand Hall editing a story. It was silent in the Grand Hall, she made sure of that. Her elven ears could pick up the slightest sound, but she would usually ignore the shuffle of feet, or the turning of a page. Three members sat around her. One was human boy, by the name of Sage. Another was an island kiko, by the name of Luau. A smudge of cheesecake was on the side of her mouth. The last one was a blue shoyru, by the name of Nano. Her cheese mallat sat, resting beside her.

Dragonfly looked up for a moment. Luau was reading a rather difficult looking book, by the look on her face. Sage was doodling on the margin of a story he was supposed to be reviewing, and Nano was munching on cheese while sketching out a story. It couldn't be more peaceful. Seriously. Dragonfly glanced at the other tables around them. They were mostly deserted. A few members were sipping coffee or sleeping of the party from the night before.

"Hiya there, Dragonfly!"

Oh no... here it comes, Dragonfly thought. Slowly she twisted around in her seat to look at the noise source. She could see a few other people rising their head, too. There stood terror itself. One word. Meep. Meep is a rather... hyper member. She spends most her time destroying parts of the building, not that it's unusual, and trying to chase down her Rabid Shadow Meepits.

"Hi, Meep," Dragonfly finally said. She looked longingly at her story. She knew she would be soon dragged away onto some wild adventure.

"Whatcha doing?" Meep said, curiously, and peered down to the paper, her nose almost touching it.

"Oh, just editing... it's quite a busy job."

"Well, that's no fun!" Meep stated.

"But, I need to get it done, so I can help Mashy."

"Oh... is there anything I can do?"

"No, sorry." Dragonfly saw Meep's smile turn to a frown. "Actually, I do have a job, err... can you go get me some ink? It looks like I'm running out," Dragonfly asked. It was true. She barely had enough to dip her quill into.

"Well, sure! I'll go get some!" And like that, Meep was off.

That was close, Dragonfly thought. She turned back to her story.

"Dragonfly."

Another one. Oh, I'm so popular, Dragonfly thought sarcastically. Yes, you can think sarcastically.

"Yes?" Dragonfly once again swivled around. This time it was Nimras. Her interests? Showers and her blue fuzzy, which is otherwise known as Jeran. She is a white lupess.

"I was just wondering if you would be kind enough to help me edit this story. I'm not sure about this one part..." Nimras drifted off. She saw the look on Dragonfly's face. What was that look? Oh, just the i'm-busy-right-now-are-you-blind-look. "But, there's a few spelling errors still. I think I'll go correct them and maybe tomorrow, when you're less busy, I can ask. Okay, bye!"

Okay, that was even closer, Dragonfly, can you guess? Yeah, she thought that, too.

"I'm back with the ink!" Meep shouted in Dragonfly's ear. And since Dragonfly is elven, it came out much, much louder than just the normal shouting.

"That's great..." This time Dragonfly drifted off. Meep was holding, not ink, but an inky pen. "Uh, hate to say this, Meep, but that's not ink. That's an inky pen."

"Oh... okay! I'll go get some ink!" Meep dashed off.

Dragonfly turned back to her story. Nano, Sage, and Luau looked at her breifly before going back to their business. Dragonfly did the same.

"Dragonfly, can you pass some paper?" Sage asked.

Dragonfly looked down at the paper. It was in-between them.

"But, it's in the middle." Dragonfly stated.

"Yeah, but I'm busy."

"And I'm not?" This caused Dragonfly's anger to flare up. One more interruption and she would blow.

"Dragonfly, are you done with the story yet?" Mashy had walked in. Unluckily for her, Dragonfly's button had been pushed.

"I'M SORRY, BUT NO! CAN'T YOU PEOPLE SEE THAT I'M BUSY AND I CAN'T CONCENTRATE WITH ALL THESE INTERRUPTIONS!" Dragonfly shouted. "I'm going to my room, where it's QUIET!"

And with that, Dragonfly stalked off, leaving Mashy, Sage, Nano, and Luau with shocked faces.

"It's okay, Mashy. It wasn't you. I guess she was just having a bad day," Luau comforted.

"Yeah, but I still could've prevented that. I'm going to apologize," Mashy said.

"I'll come with you. I'm, uh, almost done anyways," Sage said, as he looked down at the story still waiting to be edited.

So Sage and Mashy went through the tall doors into the hallway. They had trouble finding their way, because there are so many hallways and so many new members. You can barely get the hang of where your going, even if you are a member for a long time. So it took them about ten minutes to find themselves at Dragonfly's door.

"Dragonfly mentioned that she changed her room, a lot. It no longer looks like Zora's Domain," Mashy commented. "But she also said that there's a new security system."

The door to Dragonfly's dorm was a dark mahogany wood. Mashy reached for the handle. When her skin brushed the cold metal, it instantly vansiehd. The door, too, vanished. It was replaced was a mirror. Sage and Mashy looked at each other. Mashy shrugged and touched the mirror. Her hand caused it to ripple. She could feel her hand going through it.

"Okay, it's a liquid mirror that stays in place... nothing I can't handle," Mashy muttered. Mashy started to slowly go into it.

"Actually it's a..." But before Sage could warn Mashy, she had already gone through. "... dream world."
