Kauvara's Potion

by chocolate_luver_111

Kauvara was hard at work in the back part of her Magic Shop. For weeks, she had been looking for a cloning potion. You would put your own hair into it and it would make a clone. So far, Kauvara was having lots of luck creating this new potion of hers.

"Okay, then." Kauvara said to herself. "The potion is almost complete. I think we need to let it simmer, then add some Blue Potion and Krakuberries. At this rate, it will be ready by dusk!"

***

"I dare you," hissed Griffyndor2001 the Fire Eyrie.

"He can't do it," laughed his friend Kahro the desert Elephante.

The rebellious teen pets had a Dare of the Week contest to test bravery. This week's dare...was to break into Kauvara's Magic Shop!

"B-but...no one can! Kauvara's got powers!" whimpered devils_night.

"You have to...or you are OUTTA this grouped," said Kahro menacingly. "Tonight...and that is FINAL!"

***

Kauvara grinned happily. It was 7:00 P.M., and her potion had proved successful. She would soon go to bed, wake up in the morning, and put a load of the potions for sale in the Magic Shop. Kauvara couldn't believe it. Her dream come true!

"I'd better get to bed...busy day tomorrow," yawned Kauvara sleepily. With that, she turned off the lights, locked the door, and left for her house.

***

The teens snickered as devils_night, pale in the face, picked up a heavy rock from a NeoHome's garden.

"Throw it through the back window. That's where all the potions are," said Griffyndor2001.

Trembling, devils_night pulled back his arm then chucked the brick right through the Magic Shop's window.

CCCCRRRRAAAAASSSSHHHH!!!

The noise was terrific. The window shattered into a million bazillion shards.

"YEAH!" cheered Kahro, pumping his trunk in victory.

"Hurry up," whispered Griffyndor. "We don't have much time." The three scampered up onto the window sill, then jumped into the shop.

"Let's look around. We may find something valuable!" said devils_night excitedly.

"You've toughened up," said Kahro approvingly to him.

"Look! cried Griffyndor2001. "It's a new potion!" Devils_night and Kahro rushed over. The new potion was on the shelf labeled- "CLONING POTION," read Kahro in disbelief. "Let's steal them! We could make some serious money!" He swung his trunk in excitement.

"KAHRO, NO!" cried Griffyndor2001 in alarm. Too late.

Kahro's trunk smashed the entire stock of Cloning potions off their blue and yellow shelf.

CRRRRASH! SMASH! BANG! THUD! The potions tipped over and spilled out onto the floor in a puddle.

"Idiot!" howled devils_night. He tripped over a wire. Sparks were now flying everywhere!

In the confusion, another shelf vibrated. Another new potion, an INSTANT DISTEMPER potion, tipped off and shattered in the puddle of Cloning Potion. The blue distemper mixed with the red cloning brew turned the puddle violet. Then Kahro, forgetting the window was their exit, opened the door. It set the burglar alarm off.

"Let's get outta here!" they all yelled in unison. One by one, they scrambled out the door and took off down the street.

But Griffyndor2001's wing had hit Kauvara's golden hairbrush off the table. It landed in the puddle. Kauvara's hair slipped in...and the next morning created an exact replica of Kauvara- with on difference. The distemper potion made the new Kauvara...evil...

***

Kauvara (the real one) woke up to the cheery sound of Beekadoodles, perched on pine boughs, chirping sweet melodies. Today is the day, she thought. Today is the day I will introduce my potion to all of Neopia! She sprang out of bed, got dressed, and hopped in her Kau-vertible. She drove to the shop, entered, and froze.

The place looked like a battlefield! Her electricity was gone, the broken wire still weakly shooting random sparks. Thirty one smashed potion bottles were scattered all along the wooden floor. But worst of all, the most surprising thing was...

"Good morning Kauvara," said her clone, in a fake-sweet voice, dripping with sarcasm.

"Wha? H-how did y-you get th-there?" stuttered Kauvara in shock.

"I'm your clone, fuzzbrain," said the clone, annoyed. "And my purpose now is to raid the Faerie Queen's Hidden Tower undisguised, giving you a criminal record, and probably life imprisonment. See you around!" Her clone danced off, leaving Kauvara standing there, stunned.

***

"Kauvara breaks into Hidden Tower, stealing all money in Faerie Queen's till and entire stock of the mighty Rod of Dark Nova an Rainbow Swirly Things," read chocolate_luver_111 from The Neopian Times. She was a Neopian living on Bread Street. Merolae, her Cloud Pteri, gasped in shock. "Lemme see that," she said, grabbing the newspaper. "Kauvara was taken down to the Police Station for questioning in the early afternoon," she read. "Wow."

"Kauvara, how do you explain yourself?" asked the Chia cop sternly.

"It wasn't me, sir."

The cop frowned. "It had to be you. The Faerie Queen witnessed all of this herself!"

"Well, sir, I had just finished a Cloning Potion," Kauvara began. "And some practical jokers broke into my shop and spilled it onto the floor along with a Distemper Potion. One of my hairs must've slipped in."

The cop hesitated. "Well, your story does sound pretty far-fetched," he admitted. "But you're no liar. I suppose I have to take your word and start a search.

***

All cops were looking around the town. The clone was hiding in the Hills of Jub, way out in the country. She chuckled. "The real Kauvara was caught," she said gleefully, looking at a discarded newspaper that had blown across the fields from Neopia Central. "I wonder if those Chia cops imprison her for life.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

Someone knocked on her cabin door. Who would come out here to see someone? I'm like, five miles from town! she thought.

She opened the door and five cops marched in, handcuffing her.

"I demand to hear the charge!" she squealed.

"The charge," said the cop, "is robbery." With that, the clone was given life imprisonment. The Faerie Queen collected new Rods of Dark Nova. Kauvara, the real one, was let out of the station.

But, in her lab, some of the evil clone potion had sunk through the floor. It seeped through the mud...it would be ready to form soon...

Dun dun dun!
