I once lived in a part of Neopia where all the Bruces and Blumaroos frolic
in the white snow. That's right, I live in the wonderful place of Happy Valley.
In case you don't know where it is, it's the bottom part of Happy Valley.
Just below those scary Ice Caves. Well, I'm friends with everyone there except
for that frightful Snowager. The thought of that beast just makes me shiver.
Oh yeah, you don't know who I am! I'm Blizzardball2000 and my owner is hyperlunatic.
She does look after me well, but it all started when I wanted to go to Faerie
Castle on vacation…
"Oh please Lara, please" I asked, "Faerie Castle is a Deluxe Hotel!"
"Well, OK. I'll send you there for a week, since they have great facilities--I'll
pay for all the extras of course," she replied.
I could have jumped up and hugged her tight, except she's a lot taller than
me so I hugged her around the knees instead.

The grand door of Faerie Castle was opened by a posh butler. He was an Eyrie.
"Welcome to Faerie Castle. Please go through to the check in desk and wait
for your reservation to be processed," he said, "then I will show you to your
room."
"Thank you so much," I replied.
I did exactly what he said and soon I was lying down peacefully on my luxury
bed… until the alarm started to light up and make loud noises.
"Attack! We're being invaded by the Dark Pet Team!"
The Dark Pet Team. I'd heard that name before. Oh yes, I remembered that they
where made up of fierce Lupes and Grarrls.
Just as I was about to call out for what to do and where to go, the door burst
open and standing in the doorway were two yellow Lupes and a green Grarrl.
"All right lads, let's pop this lil' Mynci in this sack. Don't worry, the
lass is small enough," ordered the Grarrl.
As I was shoved into the sack, I noticed I wasn't the only NeoPet in the sack.
There were four of us. Me, a red Chia, a Yellow Kacheek and a red Shoyru.
"Welcome to the club," they all said sadly as I fell down to land next to
them.
"Cheer up! We'll be out of here in no time. Think positive people! By the
way, I'm Blizzardball2000. What are your names?" I asked gently, so I didn't
frighten them.
The Kacheek spoke up first. "I'm Billabong525," she said, "and this is Jumbleys
the Shoyru. She's very shy around new people."
"And I am Adee22 the Chia," announced the Chia.
"Pleased to meet you all. Now where are we going, I wonder?"
I was just about to find out…
BANG!!!!!
The Dark Pet Member that was carrying the sack dropped it onto a hard surface.
A Lupe bit the bag open and dragged us, one by one, out of it. When I was out,
I stared at my surroundings. There was rock everywhere and dry hot land with
some plants. A bit further away was what looked liked a plateau.
Suddenly, I remembered. The place I was in was called Tyrannia. Lara had taken
me there to play some games and grab some free omelette.
"OK, you little NeoPets! You'd better listen to us!" ordered the green Grarrl,
"I am Grarrlmot74 and these twin Lupes are Lupi1 and Lupi2. You'd better do what
we say while you're here."
I was a bit puzzled. He'd said while you're here. That meant that we'd not
stay here in Tyrannia forever! And then I could go home, back to Lara… home
sweet home in Happy
Valley…
"Um, excuse me Grarrlmot74, but are we staying here forever?" I asked timidly.
He stared at me and cackled. Well, it wasn't exactly a cackle, it was a cackle
for Grarrls… weird.
"Oh, you won't be staying here forever. After this, you'll be off to serve
the people of the Haunted Woods. Oh and help the duplicate Kauvara. We kidnapped
the original potion maker Kauvara. After that, I think you'll be working hard
in Krawk or Mystery Island… no, they're too soft over there, they'll set you
free…well, you will then serve the Snowager or the Beast in Tyrannia. I'm not
sure which," he answered.
All four of us gulped at the same time. That was a lot of work for some scary
people. What happened if we did something wrong or slacked off? The idea just
scared me out of my wits.
