700 Weewoos


by sparkleeze

--------

      Sparkles looked at the devastation of the wreckage that I made happen. I couldn't stop thinking about what I could of done to prevent this. I wish there was something I could do to fix it, or make it seem like it's one of those accidents that happen all the time. It seems to late to do anything now or make it right. All I could hear was the sound of the wreckage setting in. If only I hadn't done it, I don't know what made me do it! I feel like I can't go on. I'll be in the Neopian Times and everyone that was wondering what made this happen, will know that I did it! I tried not to cry and let everyone know that I can't fix it. Or let anyone get a glimpse of my red cheeks and nose. I can only imagine what my sister is thinking. How she was right and I was wrong, or how she could of fixed some of the damage already done, before it was to out of hand. I wanted to run and hide some place no one would hear me sob and see how weak I am. I stood up trying not to let my legs wobble, but I failed. I took a deep breath and I let out a tiny wine, but the sound of the damaged was louder...

      "Maybe letting out 700 Weewoos wasn't such a good idea." I said, trying to make it sound like it was no big deal. I could picture what my sister was about to say, or probably yell. But instead of yelling or rubbing, she was right in, she said something different in a calm voice, like she knew that yelling wouldn't fix any of this.

      "You think. You should of just got me something else." she said calmly.

      I could see the Neopian Times reporters walking around showing what damage was done. I started to sneak away, but the reporters stopped at us and started asking questions.

      "Are you Sparkles?" They asked us. Holding their microphone up to us.

      "Yes" My sister said puzzled.

      "Is this your sister?" The Spotted Kougra asked. I wondered if they were going to ask me what I had to say about this, or ask why I did it. I could feel my heart pounding as I stood there waiting for my fate. My sister wouldn't lie would she? Or was she so mad she was going to tell them everything? I thought silently to myself, trying not to be nervous.

      "Yes. Why?" The Xweetok asked. Relieved for a second. I thought maybe they did not know who did this yet.

      "Do you know someone who might have something to do with this?"

      "Um..." I shivered slightly as I waited for what she was going to say next. The more time she thinks on it, the more suspicious it looks.

      "Um.., no I don't think so."

      "Who do you think did this?" They held their microphone up to my sister. I stood there, wobbling my legs, but hopefully they think it's only because I've been standing here a while. While, I knew it was the fear slowly creeping out of me.

      "Probably someone who didn't mean to do it, or didn't know. I doubt anyone would do this on purpose." Sparkles said confidently.

      "Hopefully that's the case. Wouldn't want this to make whoever did this on accident, make it sound like it was on purpose." They said and walked away getting more images of the disaster with their camera. Relieved I sat down on the bent bench still standing. I couldn't help, but think of how this all started...

      "Happy Birthday Sparkles!" We all shouted as we stood in her room. Our owner gave her a tiny, beautifully wrapped present. She quickly unwrapped the purple and pink gift. A new out fit was unwrapped.

      "Come on" I pulled on her shirt. "I got a surprise for you!" We started walking down Neopia Central till we came to the PetPet Shop.

      *Dingle Ling* The soothing sound of the bell rang as we entered the store.

      "Hello!" A sweet, charming voice came from the desk at the front store. A Yellow Usul was taking care of one of the petpets.

      "Can I help you find anything?" She asked. I looked around only to find out, that the only petpet here was a Weewoo. My heart sank as I looked around hoping for one different petpet to appear.

      "You only have Weewoos?" I asked

      "Yeah, sorry. All we have are seven hundred of them."

      "SEVEN HUNDRED!" I shouted.

      “Yep. Sorry” She said.

      “Sparkl...” Petal, the Aisha was cut off.

      "It's okay Petal. You didn't have to get me anything. We'll find something else. Ok?"

      Tomorrow was the same thing just Weewoos were at the PetPet shop. I walked around looking for a petpet that maybe hiding. I took my finger and slid it across each bar making a different sound. Till I came to one big cage which must have all seven hundred of them in there. All of them making a racket and flapping around the cage. I opened the cage door taking one out, but about five of them came out and flew all over the room. They started flying out the door, and a whole flock of them went rampaging into the streets. I thought. There only Weewoos, they can't do much and they'll be happier flying around outside. I ran outside trying to get some of the Weewoos. Then I remembered I forgot to close the door! By the time I got back there, there were no more Weewoos in the cage.

      My sister showed up and took one look at me, then the whole town was watching us trying to collect the Weewoos. Weewoos went flying into neopets, making flying neopets fly into each other, and the Kougra that repaints the buildings fell off his ladder, making the ladder run into a tree with paint going everywhere. A "domino wall" started falling and destroying everything still standing. The Weewoos flew farther out spreading out of Neopia Central. We couldn't see them any more and then I knew that I would be in big trouble.

      I jumped awake from my day dream. Still shaking from the fear, I got up. I saw the Neopian Times reporters with their camera talking the the owner of the PetPet shop. Did they think she did this? Or where they asking her who was last in the shop? I started wondering if the people who didn't know who did this, will soon know. The fear and terrifying punishment of being caught came back to me, leaving me with a small tear, running down my face, while my sister helped the people around town clean up. After the Neopain Times reporters stopped talking and left the lady at the PetPet shop, I went to go talk to her. After being not five feet away from her, I thought of backing out, but she came up to me.

      "What did they say about the person who did this?" I said with a shake in my voice.

      She smiled and started saying, "They said whoever did this was a hero, because all these Weewoos that somebody let out, was actually flying from Kiko Lake and they needed to go back home." She continued, "They weren't happy here because they weren't from here. They were just passing by until we caught them and then when somebody let them go, Kiko Lake wasn't quiet any more from the having no Weewoos there. You see, their tweets, whistles, and songs made the people of Kiko Lake happy and beautiful."

      I smiled trying not to let anyone see the blush on my face. I couldn't control my laughter so I just let it out. After I finally stopped laughing I asked, "Did you tell them who let them out?"

      She grinned and said "A very special girl named Petal."

      I couldn't help but grin back as I knew I had become a hero. My sister came up to me and then I asked...

      "Are you mad at me?"

      "No, I'm proud of you!" She gave me a high five then we both took each others hand and helped the people around town.

      I finally realized that even when it looks like you are in big trouble, sometimes you get out of it and end up making it better.

      The End.

The New Restocking System Explained
Shops used to keep the same old junk in stock forever, taking up the four rows so nothing good could restock. Therefore, people would spend their hard-earned Neopoints on garbage to deliberately make space so good items could stock. This was deemed a problem, and the auto-clear system was born.

The group of Neopets and their owner stared at the Blue Peophin who had been caught trying to kidnap Vineti, a Chocolate Aisha. It was the middle of the night, and according to the Peophin, his boss would know if they went to the Chia Police.

“Should I still go?” Kata asked uncertainly. Lina looked at Vineti before answering.
