Jennila
It all started with Ali's mother, Jennila. She was a young egypitian dancer. She was the best in all of Neopia, and one day the king would was going to hold a contest.
For 1,000 you could see if you are the best dancer in all the land will be crowned prince or princess of Sakhment. And will be the heir to the throne." An announcer read from a scroll.
Just as he'd announced it, Jennila and her best friend Amira were walking by.
You want to give a try? What is there to lose?" Amira said.
Oh, I don't know, my confidence, lunch money for a month, and pride?" Jennila said.
Oh, ha. You know you'll win. Imagine it, the heir to the throne, oodles of cash, and guys coming from far off lands to try and marry you." Amira suddenly went off into her own dreamland. Jennila rolled her eyes.
I don't need a fancy chair, cash, and guys I don't know to make me happy. I'm a simple girl. You can sign up, but forget it if you're going to make me sign up." Jennila and Amira walked up to the sign up sheet, "And besides, you'll win becasue you're related to royalty. Isn't Princess Neera your aunt or something?
Well, I just have a hunch that she's not exactly royal material." Amira smirked. "But anyway, I won't do this without you. PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE?
Jennila sighed, "You really want to do this, huh?" She signed her name.
"Yesssss!" Amira signed underneath, "Thank you!
The contest was just weeks away and they started practicing. Day and night, night and day. Until finally the day had come.
I'm so excited!" Amira was jumping up and down.
Jennila was ready, too. She didn't think this was going to be fun at first, but she was having a blast. She'd thought it through and she decieded it would be fun to be princess. She looked at the competition, they didn't look very challenging. There was a break-dancing Chomby, ballerina uni, jazzy Elephante, pop shoyru, etc.
All of Neopia must be trying out." Jennila said nervously, "They're only going look at people with connections. Like you!
Jennila, chill. You're going to do great." Amira reassured.
Amira! Amira!" The announcer called Amira into the try-out room.
Wish me luck!" Amira took in a deep breathe and raced towards the room.
You don't need it." Jennila said after Amira was out of ear-shot.
***
Jennila walked into the room. "Hello, my name is Jennila, I am from Sakhment." She placed her neopoints on the table of the judges'.
So Jennila, you're from right around here, do you have any changes you'd make if you were Queen?" The first of three judges, a yellow male blumaroo asked.
No, I believe that Sakhment is fine how it is." Jennila responded, she'd have to think on her feet for the first part.
The second judge, a red male Lupe, nodded, "Yes, but what about the starving widows, bandits, and unwelcome visitors?
I would limit each person to how much they can buy per day, and limit each marketer for how much they can price. I would increase law enforcement and anyone who steals will be immedeatly put in jail without a second chance." Jennila said intelligently.
The third, and last, judge, a red Zafara, just smiled, "Well, let's see your dance.
Jennila suddenly got butterflies, she started, and once she got started the music flowed through her, she went from step to step without thinking.
All the judges looked very impressed. Jennila took a bow.
Well, nicely put together. We'll notify you if you make it." The third judge said.
Jennila bowed and walked home.
***
A few weeks later, there was a knock at the door. Jennila answered it.
Ms. Jennila, you have been asked to a call back. Please come with me." A messenger had read from a scroll. As he closed the scroll he looked at her. His eyes widened. "Wow, no wonder why the called you back." He said.
I'm sorry?" Jennila said politely.
Oh, nothing." He suddenly sounded shy.
Jennila cocked her head but followed him regardless. The messenger was a black and green kacheek. On his cheek was a symbol close to Jennila's. They walked up to the palace. Jennila was greeted by several guards. And she said goodbye to the fetching messenger.
He nodded, "Goodbye, your highness." And he walked off.
At first Jennila was thinking he was jumping to conclusions, or assuming she would win. But then it struck her, he liked her.
***
There weren't nearly as many people as there were the first time.
Jennila looked around and spotted Amira. She raced up to her and hugged her.
It's so great to see you!" Amira shreiked.
I know! Last time I was so nervous, what about you?" Jennila said, obviously she was calmer than Amira.
Not one bit!" Amira chirped, "I think this time we get to watch each other dance." Amira pointed to a group of pets surronding an area. "Come on! Let's go see!
The pets that were dancing now looked much better than the ones before.
Jennila!" The first judge called.
She took a deep breath and walked into the center of the circle.
She said, "Hello, my name is Jennila, and I am from Sakhment.
The music started and Jennila just went with the flow.
There was a roar of applause when she finished. She took a bow. Some people called for an encore.
Amira's jaw dropped to the floor, "I didn't now you were THAT good- I mean, good job!
***
Each call back was the same, the messenger would come get her, Amira was there and would be dumbfounded by Jennila's performance, and she would go home.
Each day Jennila's desire to become a princess would increase.
The last call back fianally came and it was just Jennila and Amira. Jennila had obviously done better.
I'm sure you've noticed by now that Amira finds Jennila a total threat to her princess title. So you can be sure that she was willing to do ANYTHING to win. So late that night Amila snuck in and changed Jennila's name on the announcement to her own.
***
And our new princess is-," The announcer was in the center of the town market and everybody was surronding, "Amira!
There was a gasp through out the crowd, and Jennila immediatly started crying.
You could see this coming, the climax of the first story is here. Or is it?
The messenger who had gotten Jennila the many times for call backs rushed over and started comforting her. He held her tight and took her home.
Jennila knew Amira must have tampered with the announcer's scroll because she had done much better than Amira. She grew a deep hate for Amira. A hate that was so deep, that it was contagious. Soon the whole kingdom hated her. And Jennila was thrown out of the kingdom because the threatened to over-throw her.
The messeneger was also thrown out, he was helping Jennila.
I'm sorry, I brought you into this mess and I don't even know your name." Jennila said to him, feeling a little guilty.
Alex." He said, "We'd better start walking, the sun will set soon and we don't want to sleep in the Haunted Woods.
The both laughed and started walking.
***
They arrived at Neopia Central around 9:00 P.M.
They stayed in one room, that's all they could afford, for the night at the Neolodge.
They stayed there for a few nights and sooner than later, Jennila became pregnant.
And three days later Ali was born. She looked just like her dad, except her cheek marking. It was different than both of the parents'.
THE END
Ali
Ali was born in the hospital, just down the street from the neolodge, among her sister, Gwen.
Ferternal twins, the girls would cry if seperated.
Jennila stroked Ali's cheek, she looked exactly like her father, except the mark on her cheek. It was strange, and closely identical to both her's and Alex's, but it wasn't the same.
She glanced at the younger twin, Gwen. She had no mark on her cheek.
The two kacheeks weren't but an hour old. Jennila still had pain from giving birth, but that was normal for new kacheek mothers. It would only last for a small while though.
Or so it was supposed to.
Days and days went by and Jennila still felt the pain.
A week later, the Jennila was holding the babies in her arms, closely, and then she put them down into their crib they shared.
And just a she put them down, she began to weep. She soon ran off through the door, and that's the last she saw of her.
After soon which, the two young kacheeks were left in the care of their father.
A few years passed, the girls were having their tenth birthday. Their father wasn't with them to celebrate.
Where do you think he went tonight?' Ali asked her sister.
He's probably still preparing for our party.' Gwen said, hopefully.
Just then, the girls heard the door open, they both jumped with joy.
Dad!' They shrieked and ran up to hug their father, who's arms were full of presents.
He set the presents down, 'Here Gwen, these are for you.' He smiled.
Ali stared at the presents, 'What about me?
Don't interrupt me when I'm talking to your sister.' He sneered and slapped her across the face.
Ali felt tears drip down her face, this was the 3rd year in a row she hadn't gotten anything while her sister got countless presents.
Though Gwen always shared with Ali, ali was sick of getting nothing from her father.
Dad!' Ali screamed, then ran up to her room and sulked the rest of the night.
Ali?' Her father came in, 'I have something for you.' He smiled.
Really?' She looked up and wiped the tears away from her eyes.
Yes, come with me downstairs.' He brought her down to the front door.
He opened the door and kicked her out, 'And stay out!' He snapped.
Ali spewed out hot tears and ran as fast as she could, as far as she could.
She came to a tree, she climbed up to the top of it and slept there.
That night Ali dreamt of her sister, crying. She dreamt that her sister was being sucked into a tornado and being carried to a desert.
When Ali awoke, she climbed down to the trunk of the tree and carved a big hole out of it, she made it her home and carved out furniture. The wood wasn't very comfortable to sleep on, so she took two branches and used them as knitting needles and sowed leaves together to form sheets for the bed. She made a pillow out of leaves and cotton she found growing around the tree. For food, Ali fished in the river next to her tree, and if she was lucky, she would eat food she might find in a random event. She also carved a staff out of wood, for defense.
Years later, after Ali learned that she could live alone, after years of hating her father, after years of missing her sister, there was a girl with blue hair, wandering around in Ali's territory. The girl was amazed with everything she saw.
She's new here, Ali thought as she watched the girl stare at the tree, wide-eyed. I should probably go easy on her.
Ali picked up her staff and dropped out of the tree right in front of the girl, 'I'll give you 10 seconds to scram.
The girl looked startled, but she didn't even yelp, let alone move.
You're a kacheek.' She marveled, 'Wow.
Ali's eyebrows furrowed, '1 2 3.
Did you make that?' The girl pointed to the staff Ali held.
4 5 6.' Ali refused to answer.
The girl knelt down at the river and saw the fish, 'Neopia certainly is beautiful.
7 8 9 10.' Ali growled, then she tripped the girl with the staff, 'I warned you.' Ali stepped on the girl's small chest.
The girl looked unalarmed, 'I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by coming here, I was just exploring.
And you ignore my warnings, thinking I was just bluffing?' Ali was furious, she was just about to jab the staff into the girl's chest when she squeaked, 'Ignorance is no excuse, go ahead.
Ali was suprised, she took her foot of the girl and helped her up, 'I'm Ali.' She coughed.
The girl looked greatful, 'I'm Shrimp.' She started beaming, 'I'll be right back, I'm going to go get you some food, you're all skin and bones.' She smiled shyly and ran off.
THE END
Princess
Yes, that is a starnge mark." Shrimp nodded, staring at it.
My mom and dad and sister all had something like this." Ali shrugged, as if it was nothing, ut she'd been wondering what it was for as long as she could remember.
It looks so... familiar. It looks like it is a mark from another language or something." Shrimp put her and on the mark, it appeared to be carved into her skin, but it wasn't colored. Just, an indent.
Shrimp pulled out her pocket symbol-english dictionary and searched for the picture.
Ali leaned over her shoulder, "Do you see it?
Shrimp gasped as a reply, then glanced back at her mark, "It says, 'Princess.
Tears stung Ali's eyes as she remembered her mother's past. Amira. Ali was destined to be a princess, but because a jealous Aisha had gotten in her mother's way, she was forced out of her rein.
As of that day, Ali hated Amira. And anybody she didn't know very well. Well, almost anybody.
Yep, that's all about her strange marking. There's no to be continued, no more. There's nothing else. Now, it's actually-

Ka Tche
Ka Tche (ronounced Ka Chee) is a form of martial arts practiced with a staff known only to kacheeks, and few of them. It is about self defence, mostly. It can be very violent.
Ali's staff is very important to her, she made it out of wood. She is ever improving it, she recently painted it, and added a gem in the center of the head that glows and controls earth. She only uses the gem when nessicary, for it's powers are limited.

| Saun, he's pretty cool, if you like those poetic, mopey types. all he does is right poetry and hang around, really. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with some girl, or something. I don't know. |  |
 | Boring, a cross-bred, half-insane, multipersonality Borgle. His dad used to work at the lab ray and he accidently zapped Boring and something wacky happened. I don't really pay attention to all the details, but I know he's twisted. |
| Azi is an albino freak. She's plain and simple. A mark on her left thigh, that's the only thing special about her. |  |
 | Sheri is Boring's girlfriend, though she'll never admit it. She's also Speth's best friend. She's a ghost because she died at some carnival in a freak roller coaster accident. Speth was the first one to realize she wasn't really dead. Oh, and she glows different colors. |
| *gag* This freak? LM is obbsessed with me in a super-freaky way. He absolutely hates any guy who even looks at me. He's a big headed, pirate wannabe. His bandana? Yeah, it was a present I was forced to give him for christmas one year. He never takes it off. |  |
 | Moon, she's a goth punk. She's really deep and is always over-analyzing everything thing you say ar do. She's got this freaky way of being able to predict what you will say or do next. It's cool, but she only uses it at an advantage of being a smart alec, instead of using it to predict he enemies next move. |
| Fe is this super sweet girl who used to help Edna by testing potions and stuff. And something went wrong and now she has the power to control shadows, but she's terribly ugly. Blah, blah, blah. It's a pretty basic thing. And kind of stupid, because she doesn't even use the shadow thing to her advantage. |  |
 | Sandra, she's this down-to-earth, motherly skeith with a heart shaped mark on her right arm. She lost he memory when she was about 13, and that's when we found her on the street in front of a strange, run-down building. |

Friends
Yes, even I have friends.
| Myth, sometimes I feel like he's the only one that really understands me. But there are other times where he just completely shuns me. I don't know what it is about him, but I'm pretty sure I like it. |  |
 | Tekirai, I don't see her much any more. She's my book buddy at neoschool. We never really do anything except listen to my IPod and talk. She's cool, for a 10-year-old, even if she is hyper sometimes. |
| Slip, he's someone I'll never forget. Stupid Shrimp and stupid Sugar dumped us at the haunted woods and we got lost. Just like them to forget us there. |  |

Well, you've bugged me long enough, now get lost." Ali growls then throws a quilt and patch at you, then she turns around, and seems to disappear into the brush of the forest.
