Those Crazy Pets of Mine: Part One

by Selphie_Tilmitt

Admantine the Uni slowly opened the large cedar door to her and her best friend Viator the Shoyru's room. Not to her surprise Viator was sitting on the floor playing her game console that she never seemed to put away (except when she was reading or eating).

"Dorkus Malorkus," said Admantine as she entered the room and sat in the bean bag chair next to the closet.

"Is that you Admantine? I'm sorry I didn't see you come in," said Viator not turning from the game console, she knew it wouldn't matter because Admantine was invisible anyway, though she liked it she didn't like people teasing her which was what Viator usually did so of course she had to get even.

"At least I don't take a bath in Windex," said Admantine poking fun at Viator who was painted like glass.

"Funny…your fancy Latin before wasn't funny either..." muttered Viator.

"It wasn't Latin..hehe..simpleton," said Admantine.

"Well, while you were out spending our beloved master Selphie's money, she, Harle_quin and WhiteSilver went out to restock the shop," explained Viator.

"I don't spend half as much on shopping as you do for training at that island school! Codestones cost more then anything nowadays!" said Admantine.

"You lie, they don't cost more then a green apple!" laughed Viator.

"That's true, heehee." Giggled Admantine.

"Well, I think we should go down and help them yah know. I feel guilty spending all day at the training school, I don't get to spend any time with Selphie anymore," said Viator.

"It's not our fault she's a seed...but that is true, we should go and spend time with her now," said Admantine.

She and Viator left the house and took off for Neopia High Street. As they walked down the sunny sidewalk they window shopped for a while and said hi to random people they knew. "Wow look...this store only has faeries for 5000 NP," said Admantine sarcastically.

"Hmm...Neggs only 1200," retorted Viator.

"Oh wow…" gasped Admantine.

"A black satin collar for only 500 NP."

"Yeah that little?" laughed Viator, then realizing it wasn't a joke she gasped, "No! You can't have it!"

"But it's just the thing to jump start my modeling career!" said Admantine.

"You tard…don't spend so much money..let's just get to the store and grab Selphie," said Viator.

"You make it sound like a kidnapping..." muttered Admantine.

"Oh wow!" gasped Viator as they passed the Money Tree.

The large tree made of some unknown material protruded into the sky and was used somewhat as a beacon for High Street, as usual there was a huge crowd of people around it. "There's more than usual today...I swear…" said Admantine shocked.

"Yeah, I feel bad for the ones who have been stolen from by those awful thieves that keep popping up everywhere...but the ones that just hang around to grab a quick dollar are so selfish," said Viator.

"I agree," said Admantine, "They should learn to work for a living. I remember way back with Selphie before you came to live with us, she had to work all day just to make 200 NP a day," said Admantine.

"Yeah, someone should tell those people they can make like, 2000 NP a day by going to that place downtown, you know where I mean...they can be a ski coach, or an adventurer, or they can just solve puzzles all day..." said Viator.

"Yeah, Selphie donates there everyday. I wonder if people who actually need it ever get it?" wondered Admantine, and they hurried off to the store.
