The Wicked Three
by Little_lady_goddess

We have what you truly crave
Deep beneath the salty waves
Where pure blue turns darkest black
But the colour is not all we lack

The wicked three make up for it all
Deeper and darker you will fall
Pain only lasts for so long
Vanishing quickly with this song

Don't you fret, my lovely one
We've only yet begun the fun
Our other toy broke too soon
He fell and faded 'neath the moon

We ask sweetly for a replacement
You look like you're Fyora-sent!
Water faeries love to play
“You are the newest toy,” we say

Do not tremble, do not shout
Let enchanting voices win out
Do not run, do not fear
Swim out further, danger near

Come and join us, you will see
The hidden treasures -- for a fee
You won't notice the loss of sight
Becoming Drenched wins the fight

The Goth Usul
by Advices

I don’t want your Red Blush,
Your eyeshadow green,
In fact, I’m in no rush
To get to that scene,

Where girly items are. 
Nail varnish, Bars of Soap,
Bubble bath superstar,
Here, there is no hope. 

Brushes, combs with glitter,
Buzz Honey Lotion!
No wonder I’m bitter,
And lack emotion.

Few items I do like,
They’re always in stock
Black Lipstick, most dislike,
Black Nail Varnish rocks!

I may be wearing pink,
But don’t be deceived...
The face on my shirt, inked,
Is the beauty queen

Herself, her eyes Xed out,
Her smile now frowns. 
The Beauty Shop, no doubt,
Is mine to burn down!

MAGAX's Graveside Vigil
by Agedbeauty

A year has passed,
And a year ago,
We said our last good-byes.

A year has come,
And a year has gone,
Since Xandra lost her disguise.

It’s been 52 weeks,
It’s been 365 days,
Since Neopia put you to rest.

12 months slipped away,
Four seasons gone by, 
Each one its own little test.

You died on a Tuesday
And 51 Tuesdays ago,
I sat by your grave for the first time.

Who thought that I’d mourn you?
Who knew that I’d miss you?
Who guessed that for you I would rhyme?
But what is a villain
Without his anti-hero,
And conversely, what am I without you?

Nox, it’s been a year
And things still aren’t the same.
I guess I never thought this through.

Without you to fight,
I’m aimless, and meaningless,
Since Xandra took you down a notch.

Good-bye, my old friend,
Who wasn’t a friend,
Until my next graveside watch.

The Collaboration
by Sarika_ambrielle

They talked and they talked
Their mail come alive
A goal was chalked
Onward they strive

As the days turn to weeks
The goal seemed so close
Do the last few tweaks
And it really shows

The acceptance mail arrived
A huge goal had been achieved
Together they thrived
A weight of burden they heaved

Their comic will appear
In this week's Neopian Times
Friday is just so near
Anticipation level climbs

It was such great fun
They're doing it again
It'll certainly get done
If they use their brain

Decisions, Decisions...
by Atou666

Faerie, Halloween, Christmas or blue,
Neopoints saved up, but now what to do?
Too much choice! Which brush will be mine?
The colours! The styles! They all look so fine!

I’ve travelled Neopia, from left to right,
Shadow, jelly, ghost, or white?
Toured many places, all in a rush, 
When will I finally find my perfect brush?!?

If you’ve been there, you’ll know what I mean,
It’s hard to choose, from the many you’ve seen,
There’s fire, pirate, and rainbow, too,
So, dear Aisha... which will suit you?

But then you stumble across your perfect one,
And this one can compare to none!
It’s better than all the ones you’ve seen,
Even biscuit, cloud, or green!

You sigh in relief, the job is done,
Feeling accomplished - this round you’ve won!
Then suddenly the realization hits, 
Not quite yet can you call it "quits,"
 
You see, it’s not yet over,
And believe me, you’re going nowhere!
You realize, as you start to feel faint...
You still have three other Neopets to paint!
