Show & Tell

Remember the days when you would bring an item to class for Show & Tell? You would stand up in front of the classroom, and tell a story about your beloved treasure, while the class looked on with envious eyes. I'm bringing that back, but with a twist.

Each week, you can choose 1 neopet item, and tell a story that includes the item. The story can not be longer than 300 words long, and must include a reference to your item at least once. It can be any neopet item you want, including NCMall items.

Now for the twist. Before writing your story, you must come to this page, because I will ALSO be choosing an item for you to include in this story. The items will change each week, and will never be the same. Both items must appear somewhere in your story to receive credit for it.

Rewards are as followed:
1st Place: Butterscotch Treat & 5000 Candy Coins.
2nd Place: Bubblegum Treat & 3000 Candy Coins
3rd Place: Caramel Treat & 2000 Candy Coins
Other Participants: Mint Treat & 1000 Candy Coins

Send your entry, HERE. Be sure to make the subject, Show & Tell.

Good luck.

Hi. My name is Tiiny, It's just a few days from Valentine's Day, and look what I got in the mail! It's a Mysterious Valentine Card, I haven't opened it yet. Who would want me to be their Valentine? I mean my best friend is my Ripped Valentines Chia Plushie. It's a little worn, but that's because it is soo important to me. I take it everywhere. I've lost it a couple of times, but I've always managed to find it again. I wonder if this is a joke, or maybe I do have a secret admirer?!

SunflowerYewwo: "My show and tell story is about the time I dressed up for a costume party and a very mysterious night awaited me. I did not expect what would soon come. This is how the night began: I wanted to be one of Jhudora's faerie apprentices so I tried to come up with a nice costume to go along with my idea. I found this great Jhudoras Bewitched Ring at a Battledome shop and an Evil Hair Clip near Jhudora's Bluff. They went together perfectly. I put on the Evil Hair Clip and then put on Jhudoras Bewitched Ring, and that is when things got weird... the ring would not come off! It was stuck! Immediately I was warped into a vortex leading to a mysterious location. It was like a faerie world battledome it seemed? For young faeries? Jhudora walked up and asked, 'you are my new apprentice?' I told her that I was going to a costume party! She thought I was just backing out and pushed me forward into the next battle! I was fighting against an Air Faerie! Somehow Jhudoras Bewitched Ring helped me win the battle! I pulled Jhudora aside afterwards and explained to her again that I really am just wearing a costume! She finally believed me and because I was able to win the battle without even being a new faerie, she gave me the outfit I am wearing today! It has purple in it just like how she wears purple! She wished me back home. I will never forget what happened!"

So, for this weeks show and tell I, misscookieusul, want to show you two items of mine. These items are Yooyu in the Box and Stately Wooden Carriage. So, noprat and I were on a trip to Candyland to participate in some activities. We decided to take the Stately Wooden Carriage to Candyland, this carriage was passed down generations throughout noprats family and to tell you a secret, it is a MAGIC carriage. This carriage can fly! So as we flew to Candyland I thought it would be funny to play a trick on noprat. She was sleeping in the carriage so I started to turn the handle for my Yooyu in the Box, and just before it popped I screamed, "NOPRAT, LOOK!" her eyes flew open and just at that time the Yooyu burst out of the box! Noprat was so freaked out she jumped and hit the tip of the cotton candy clouds just as we were arriving to Candyland! It was so funny! I laughed and laughed until we came to a stop at the gingerbread houses to look for some treasures. That's my story about my Yooyu in the box and the Stately Wooden Carriage. I always like to have a little bit of fun on my trips to make the ride less boring!

The small class of pets gathered outside to look at Faerinne's Stately Wooden Carriage. Faerinne stood next to it proudly, and smiled. "I wanted to share this special carriage with each of you, because it was passed down to me from my grandmother. She always keep it hidden in secret location in Candyland. Sometimes, on the weekends, she would take me there and we would go inside and look at it. I would ask her why we never got to take it out for a ride, and she told me that I had to wait until I was older. Well, I finally became old enough to take a ride in it last week. Shall I show you what happens?

Faerinne climbed up into the ornate cushioned seat of the carriage. She turned to the class and noticed how bored they had become. She giggled to herself and thought, wait until they see this.

So, are you ready?, the giddy usul asked. The pets barely seemed to notice. They were all talking and playing around. Faerinne became slightly irritated, as she wasn't known for having patience. She closed her eyes and began to chant softly, "Ecto zubu eflamus fastidious".

Over and over she said the words, each time increasingly louder. The pets began to grow quiet, and watched Faerinne with a quizzical curiousity. The air around the vessel began to sizzle with heat. The usul stood up in the carriage, her chanting had become so loud the pets had become frightened.

Ecto zubu eflamus fastidious! Ecto zubu eflamus fastidious! Ecto zubu eflamus fastidious!." Flames began to burst forth from the carriage. The pets all yelped and jumped back away from the fire. When they turned back to look at Faerinne, they gasped in shock.

So, who wants to go for the first ride", Faerinne smugly asked.

There, where the wooden carriage once stood, was a blazing Fire Faerie Racer.

Yo ho, the briny seas where salty dogs pillage and plunder,"

Never a day we miss good loot, through the rain, wind and thunder!"

The band of pirates roared with laughter as they chugged down mugs of frothy amber liquid. "Arr, me mateys, look see what we got here," boasted Scallops the Gelert, as he rolled a large, gray orb unto the table. It was a Pirate Draik Egg, and the other Neopets ooh'd at it in interest. More good mateys to join the deck, and by mateys they meant a deckswabber.

The egg moved a bit and everyone chuckled, while one of the pirates went out of the room to fetch something. The egg cracked, and a tiny gray head popped out of the shell, bright red eyes scanning the room in bewilderment.

With a laugh, a pirate Skeith pulled the poor thing out, and plopped it back on the table, forcing it to balance on its two tiny legs. "Look at 'im go!" one of them mocked as the baby pirate Draik almost tumbled itself over.

Alright you lot – git back to work now!" The Acara that left the group earlier had come back. At her word, the rest of the crew dashed out, and the Acara approached the still confused Draik and handed him a Mop and Bucket. "Got a name?" she asked him.

The Draik nimbly took the mop, examining it. "I heard them call me Imgo.." he replied meekly.

Well, Imgo, you better move those chops." The Draik watched as the Acara left for the deck. "Cap'n ain't got time for slackers."

As Imgo climbed down the table and into the fray of hollering and feisty pirates, he knew this was the start of his pirate adventures.

It was the wee hours of the night, just before the sun would rise in Meridell. Everyone was asleep in their warm beds unaware of what was about to happen. At that very same moment, a swarm of dastardly evil fuzzles bent on taking over Neopia were coming down like a rain shower from their mother ship above in the atmosphere. They had already sent earlier, some 500 years before, a flock of evil fuzzles of all colours, so they would blend in with the colours of the neopets of Neopia. The Royal family had even sent some of their cousins to keep an eye on them while they befriended as many neopets as they could. Alas! It was time for the invasion and the dastardly evil fuzzles now were ready, but they knew they would need a little help. They had been informed that some of the most feared creatures were pirate draiks. They could find many nests stock piled with eggs if they went to Meridell. This was where they would start the invasion of Neopia, for once they yielded the power of controlling a pirate draik they thought they would be invincible! Little did they know, there were many Neopians that had a pirate draik egg already in their possession, and once hatched they would control it as well. The sun was rising and the fuzzles were beginning to hatch their first pirate draik egg when they noticed that Jhudora's minions had gotten wind of their plans and Jhudora was not impressed that anyone would take over Neopia before she had the chance so she sent out an attack. They were swift and were able to destroy all of them before it was too late. Neopia awoke unaware of what had transpired.

Well? Hand it over."

Jorahn's customer today was an Aisha, who handed over a large bag of neopoints to the green Kyrii. Jorahn took it and held it up for a moment, calculating the amount through just the weight of the sack. His eyes never left the shivering Aisha.

.. "You're off by 10k." He spoke calmly, yet with a condescending tone."Would you like to explain yourself?"

The speckled Aisha started to fret. "Surely we can compromise. " he protested against Jorahn's stone cold face. "I really have no np left!"

Unfortunately, Jorahn wasn't the one to hear such pleas. This Aisha wasn't remembering what he signed up for. Perhaps a little force will help remind him. Jorahn dug under his jacket and pulled out some sort of necklace.

The Amulet of the Dark Faerie.

The Aisha was spluttering for mercy now as Jorahn's eyes coffee colored eyes glowed a menacing red. His face, once cool and stoic, now hardened with raw anger. Clouds of black smoke emit from the amulet, grasping at the Aisha's throat and dangled him up in the air. The Aisha tried to scream, but failed to when the smoke tightened it's grip. Finally it wheezed out; "Alright.. I'll pay..!!"

Just like that, the smoke evaporated away, and his customer landed back on the ground with a pathetic thud. Jorahn made no reaction at all as the Aisha fished out it's remaining neopoints, all the while sobbing in terror. Paid in full, Jorahn finally gave the Aisha the Jhudora's Crystal Ball that he smuggled. "You never saw, heard or got that from me. Understand?" he growled as he pulled up his bag of NP. Not waiting for an answer, he left the poor Aisha alone in the dark alley.

Throwing her paw up into the air, xcutedinox shouted at the top of her voice, "Me Me Me Me!" It was time for Show and Tell. This was the best part of the day, no best part of the week, for every neopet in class A. xcutedinox really wanted to show off her newly enquired Amulet of the Dark Faerie, which she received from her odd but loving grandmother on her birthday, a few days ago. Miss Xweetok slowly moved her stretched out finger across the room, figuring out which keen pupil to choose next. Her finger came to a halt in front of xcutedinox. Bursting with excitement, xcutedinox rushed out of her seat, nearly falling on top of Jonny the jubjub. Standing at the front of the class, xcutedinox held up her Amulet, and proceeded to say, "My grandmother gave me this for my birthday on Saturday. I am not sure what is does or where it is from, but it looks dar......" As her voice faded, the Amulet of the Dark Faerie started to glow. A strange quaking shook the floor beneath her feet. Suddenly, a Lava Puddle appeared under xcutedinox, and swallowed her and the Amulet of the Dark Faerie whole. No-one ever saw xcutedinox again.

Pheo__cc decided he was going to show every pet in the guild he joined his Army of Undead Cupcakes. When he took them out of his safety deposit box and set them on his table, his table suddenly turned into more undead cupcakes. He spent over 3 hours trying to find some way to possible collect the cupcakes that had multiplied. In those 3 hours of trying to collect those cupcakes, everything he owned was turned into an undead cupcake. Everything except his Amulet of the Dark Faerie which sat in the middle of his floor untouched… Maybe, if he put it on and used it on the undead cupcakes, they would just go away. To be continued…..

Valodius twirled the Milk Chocolate Rose between his fingertips nervously as he walked along the path at the local park. He remembered that she liked chocolate; Milk chocolate to be exact. They were about to meet each other within minutes and he wasn't quite sure if he felt ready. What if he gets too clammed up? What if she thinks he's just weird? After all, this was the first time Val was going to meet his pen pal from Mystery Island.

The blue Zafara walked up to a Candy Floss Tree that was firmly planted just at the side of the path among the soft grass, its tall white and red striped trunk held a multitude of fluffy pink branches. A piece of it fell fell, and Val watched it dance in the air as it descends. He expected that it would hit the ground soon, but instead, it fell on a soft patch of light tan fur.. This took him by surprise and he drew a sharp breath as he was confronted by the warm smile of an Island Kougra, who delicately plucked off the fallen floss off her head.

... "Hey, Val." she greeted cheerfully.

Val felt his heart thump harder than a Cybunny's foot. This was going to be an interesting day. The End

Last week, I was doing some gardening in the guild's garden. I planted the jelly beans, and tended to the cupcake flowers. It was a nice day out, so I decided to go and sit down on the bench and read a book, while listening to the hum of the chocolate fountains. I went over to my favorite part of the garden, the place near the Candy Floss Tree. It had a wonderful candy nest and neggs in it. I couldn't wait to see what would hatch from those neggs! Then all of a sudden, the wind picked up and the tree started to sway back and forth. That nest fell right out of the tree and landed on my head! Well, after a few moments, I realized what had happened as my guild members came running out to see if I was ok. They put the nest back up in the tree, the neggs were safe because the nest landed on me, but I was all dizzy. All I saw in front of my eyes were foobugs everywhere! It was kind of like THIS. I quickly recovered, luckily those foobugs were not interested in me; they flew back up into the Candy Floss Tree to finish eating their snack. I'd had enough gardening for one day; I went back inside to play some games with my friends.

Today, when Blaze_Lyons raised up from his slumber, he sleepily rubbed his eyes. He realized that today was a very special day; today was a day like no other. It was the time of the year when the Candy Floss Tree blossoms. Blaze_Lyons stood up in front of the class, and with a sparkle in his eyes, he held up a large puff ball of Candy Floss. He says with excitement in his voice, "I have something special to show you all". Blaze_Lyons gulped and cleared his throat. Then, before everyone's eyes, Blaze_Lyons threw the Candy Floss that he freshly picked from the Candy Floss Tree, just this morning. The candy floss landed in his mouth, and with a poof, Blaze_Lyons sprouted beautiful Brilliant Blue Faerie Wings. The whole class gasped in amazement as they watched their classmate, Blaze_Lyons, swoop above their heads so gracefully. Even Mrs Xweektok clapped her hands and giggled, as she watched this amazing scene unfold in front of her own eyes. From that day, every year when the Candy Floss Tree blossoms, the talk of the school is how Blaze_Lyons, a mere pupil of their own school, could fly with the help of the Candy Floss and a little hope.

Zvanyir wants to show everyone her flatfruit lolly. This lolly is very special to her, because whilst she was gazing at her neighbours candy floss tree in the garden, the lolly fell onto her head! Could it be that this candy floss tree grows lollypops? Anything could happen...

As Myystykaal walked up to the front of the class, she heard a few giggles, which didn't help her nervousness any. She put on a bright smile though, and cleared her throat. The class quieted as she held up her Faerie Candy Floss. The blue stars studded throughout it were sparkling, even in the dim classroom light. "Today I brought Faerie Candy Floss to class. I actually forgot to grab an item from home for show and tell today, so when I passed the Candy Floss Tree on the way to school, I just knew it would be great for show and tell. I flew up and gathered some to bring, and the best thing is, I brought enough to share with everyone!" The class cheered as she started passing it out, and her friend Kittsey laughed and pulled some candy floss off of Mysty's wing. The frilly, fluffy look the sticky candy had given to her wings had caused the giggles that Mysty had heard. Mysty laughed as Kittsey popped a piece in her mouth and mumbled. "This is the best show and tell ever!"

I dream of a world of delectable delights,
yummy vanilla mornings and ambrosial chocolate nights.
Fluffy whipped cream clouds that float high above,
cast cocoa shadows upon the confections that I love.
Lollipop flowers and cotton candy trees,
tempt my resolve as they sway in the breeze.
Lemon drop bushes and peppermint streets,
lead me to a place filled with irresistible treats.
Candy bar boats cruise down butterscotch streams,
carry graham cracker men dressed in marshmallow cream.
Off in the distance, ice cream mountains sweetly stand, Guarding the delicious treasures of this Candyland.
