The Infinite Food Potion! Part One

by erin50

It was a cool December morning and I was on my way to the Advent Calendar with my enthusiastic rainbow Blumaroo, Gare (pronounced Gary.) After waiting for about ten minutes we were handed our prize. I looked down at the green healthshroom in disgust. Then I stomped up to the volunteer and yelled, "Is this what I get? My poor Blumaroo is starving and the only help I am given isn't even enough to call help?!?!?!?! Neopia is suffering from food shortage and huge population and all you can do to help is give us this little green thing from the mold family?"

Gare quickly tugged me away. When we got home I opened a small cabinet, from which seven green healthshrooms fell onto the ground. "Aw schucks! Now it's on the ground. It isn't worth anything!"

Then I paused, I was way too poor and Gare was way too hungry to cry about dirty food. Then a thought popped into my head. Sometimes, bigger food items can be more filling for a pet. I got out a small pot and sent Gare to the store to get a doughnut for flavour. I mixed into the pot:

3/4 cups of water

3 green healthshrooms (didn't want to lose them all if experiment failed!)

1 rainbow doughnut

After mixing for five minutes, I poured some into a cup and handed it to Gare.

Gare had a small sip, paused and then vomited it all over the floor, before drinking the rest of the cup and belching loudly! I carefully gave him the food thermometer trying to avoid possible history repeats. HUNGRY! it read. I couldn't believe it! He had gone from starving to hungry from one cup! I gave him the rest of the pot and unsurprisingly, he was at BLOATED!

Weeks went by and Gare stayed at bloated. Once word got out that I could make a pet bloated forever, I was up to my neck in people wanting the recipe! Rich people came by the truckloads! Although I needed the money I remembered that it was Christmas, the season of giving, so I made a batch of the stuff and brought it to the Adoption Center. Little did I know that people were at the adoption center ready to try to buy the potion or recipe or just steal it! I avoided everyone and learned the next day that three had been frozen for fighting! I couldn't believe that people could be so immature!

While eating breakfast the next day, the doorbell rang. I didn't answer. A man behind the door yelled, "Hello? Anyone home?" When there was no answer he seemed pleased because he chuckled to himself and I thought he had walked away but there was a huge SMASH and I knew that whoever it was had just busted the door down. I quickly ran to hide in my kitchen pantry where my remaining potion and this journal were hiding!
