The Tough First Day

by cheetahpurr

It was a sunny day in Mareboro, a small town just outside of Neopia. Maggie, an owner of a young Moehog, had just dropped off her Moehog at the Mareboro Daycare Center for NeoPets. The Moehog was named Dream because of its cloud fur coat. Dream had been painted when he was first created by his owner.

Anyway, Dream had just trotted back to the room for NeoPets his size when he had a collision with a very pretty green Moehog. "Oh, why hello you must be new. I'm Prissilla. I have been going to this daycare ever since I can remember," said the beautiful Moehog. "Yeah I'm new. Um, my name is Dream," he said.

Just then a Skeith came out of a room muttering over and over, "Stupid Moehogs." Dream turned around and said, "Excuse me?"

The Skeith looked as though the Moehog had just cursed. "You heard me Shortstuff."

"Please, he's new...he doesn't know any better. His name is Dream," squealed Prissilla.

Dream would have given anything he owned even his pet Gulper to keep Prissilla from saying his name.

"Aawww who named you that your owner's grandma? HAHHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHHAH!!!!" the Skeith roared and strutted out of the room still laughing.

"Who was that nerd?" asked Dream.

Prissilla sighed and said, "That is the daycare's bully Groan."

"Whoa, wait up his name is Groan? Man his name is so much cooler than mine!" sighed Dream.

"Don't say that!!" said Prissilla.

"Okay whatever!" said Dream.

The two Moehogs strolled into the classroom."Today, many kids are not here so we are going to spend the day outside," announced the Gelert teacher. All of the pets formed a line by the door. Dream got near the end of the line with Prissilla in front of him and a yellow Quiggle behind him.

"Good day! I'm Aussie the Quiggle," said the Quiggle.

Dream turned around and said, "I'm Dream the Moehog."

"Why good day Dream!"said Aussie.

The two pets talked all the way outside. They had began to play chase when Groan had flown outside with a female Skeith that was painted with stripes. Aussie turned around from running and said, "Ya can't catch me mate!I'm way too fast. The two Skeiths had landed on the ground and Aussie had ran into Groan.

Dream ran to catch up with Aussie to see if he was all right. "Well, well, well, if it isn't that pesky lil' baby Moehog named Dream by his owner's grandma,"said Groan. Groan's girlfriend giggled. Dream could feel his face burning. Dream growled. The female Skeith laughed out loud. Suddenly Prissilla trotted over to see what the commotion was all about. She once again pulled Dream out of the argument by saying, "GROAN and SMIRK!! Please excuse these over grown baby NeoPets. I'm sure they know you are sorry." Groan whispered something to his girlfriend, Smirk. They flew off without another word.

"Why in the name of Australia did ya do that? We are big NeoPets we don't need you to stick up for us!" roared Aussie. Prissilla didn't answer she just looked from Dream's concerned face to Aussie's upset face. Prissilla blushed and ran away, no doubt to hide from them. "We are not baby NeoPets! Nor do we even think we are sorry!!" yelled Aussie after her.

Dream thought about the way Prissilla had looked before she had ran off. Why had she blushed?" Oh well, it must have been humiliating," thought Dream.

After a while it began to rain and the class went inside. "Hi, um...are you okay?"asked Dream after he had found Prissilla in the classroom.

"Y-Yes," she said looking up from the ground.

Aussie had spotted them and was bouncing over. Prissilla saw him and pulled Dream under a large round art table.

"Listen, I-I-I-I kinda, well...well...umm...am very mad at Aussie from what he has done to me," whispered Prissilla.

"Cool, but I just want to know why you where blushing before you ran off?" asked Dream.

"I-I-I was blushing? Umm Umm!" said Prissilla.

"Yep!" he answered.

"Uhhh!!" she said turning around to face the wall.

Dream had caught out of the corner of his eye Prissilla blushing even more. Dream felt the room get very cold. He trotted over and saw his owner coming down the hall. She took Dream in her arms and let Dream say bye to Aussie and Prissilla.

"Well, how was your first day of daycare?" asked Maggie.

"Great!!!" said Dream with a confused smile on his face.
