It´s a sunny day in heaven
And no one is around..
To open the gates,
And I'm waiting for you;
My Fairweather Friend..

I hear a tiny voice, singing a strange song. I never heard this song before, but it sounds sad and happy at the same time; it almost hypnotises me.

The one thing I can count on
Is nothing much at all
The one thing that I'm sure about
Is that you won't be anywhere around me when I fall
I'd like to think I wouldn't die for you, but you know I would
Cause that's the fool I am
And that's the rule you bend
Absent in the end..
My Fairweather Friend..

I slowly walk towards the voice, trying to make no noise as I step upon the ground. It's Autumn, and the earth is buried with dry leaves, rustling as I step on them. The voice suddenly stops. I hear water ripple. I'm thirsty and decide to walk ahead fastly.
When I walk through the last bushes, I see a scene that could've been from a fairytale. A small river, rippling quietly, makes his way through fresh green grassland. And on a rock on the riverside sits a small creature, her fur pink as the small flowers that grow everywhere. That must've been the source of the singing, I think, and I gently approach the creature.
I make too much noise. The small being looks up, and I see that her eyes are just as pink as her fur. The eyes look scared.
Yokailo Don't be afraid…
Koite *stares scared to you*
I decide to try and talk to the creature.
Yokailo Who are you, little one?
Koite Koite..
Her voice is soft, but I hear that this was definitely the being who was singing.
Yokailo Do you like to sing?
Koite looks even more afraid.
Koite I-I do li-ike singing..
I smile friendly, but Koite still looks to me with big, scared eyes.
Yokailo You don't have to be afraid, little one. I'm not going to hurt you.
Koite keeps looking at me, but now the eyes seem to get wet. I lay a gentle hand on the being's head, and I feel the small body starts to shake, trying to hold back its tears.
Yokailo What happened?
Koite I.. I..
She can't stop crying. The warm, salty tears drip onto the rock and almost immediatly evaporate in the hot sunlight.
Yokail Sshh... It's okay.. I'm not going to hurt you..
I try to comfort her, and after a while Koite stops crying. Still sobbing she looks up to me.
Koite Thank you..
Yokailo You don't have to thank me. Don't you want to go home?
The creature seems to be a bit young to be outside alone, but she almost starts to cry again.
Koite N-no..
Yokailo Where is your family?
Koite They.. They abadoned me.. They said anyone could come and take me.. They even tried to /trade/ me for another pet.. I..
Koite starts to cry again. I soothe her and sit next to her on the rock
Yokailo Why would they do that?
Koite I don't know.. H-how should I know?
Yokailo Do you want to tell about yourself?
Koite O-okay..

Name: Koite
Nickname: Kite
Gender: Female
Species: Xweetok
Color: Pink
Age: 2 years

Koite I.. I don't know why I'm telling this.. I mean.. You.. I..
Yokailo It's okay..
Koite *sniffs* And.. Who are you?

Name: Yokailo
Nickname: Yoki
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Nationality: Dutch
Age: 13 years

Koite You're Dutch?
Yokailo Yep. Have you ever been there?
Koite No.. My brother, Tonzura, has...
Yokailo You have a brother?
Koite No.. Not any more..
Yokailo Why?
Koite {angry} My whole family abandoned me! *sniff* And he.. kind of was.. Stolen..
Yokailo You said so.. And sorry about your brother..
I look at this small creature, furry and pink with brown. Her eyes are of the most amazing color pink you can imagine, and she has a small face that would look so beautiful when she would be smiling. I decide.
Yokailo Do you want to come with me?
Koite To?
Yokailo The Netherlands.
Koite Why?
Yokailo To get a family.

The Family

Koite A.. A family?
Her eyes seem to brighten, but they immediately turn sad again.
Koite It's all the same.. You will also try to trade me.. and.. and..
I shake my head and begin to tell.

Makori is the oldest member of the family. She is a kind Xweetok, basic but irreplaceable. Her simple, red color might once become striped; purple and white are beautiful colors, both of them, and I - and Makori, too - think it's the most beautiful combination.
Rickamiro is a special guy. He is a bit moody, but wise and he says he got his wisdom from Coltzan himself; Makori always laughs about him and says he's old-fashioned, but Rickamiro doesn't care. He knows what he knows, he says what he says and who am I to blow against the wind?
Sporkleadra is a brother of Rickamiro. He doesn't act like one, though. He loves to play around and is very fussy about his looks; it's almost like he's a girl. He likes to dress up and also likes to try the eyeliner of Makori - she doesn't mind. {You didn't think those black lines were real, right?}
He loves his Snowbunny like nothing else in the world. Sporkie is the newest addition to our family, and I have to thank biskee for being so kind to give him to me.
Yokailo is the mother of all those pets. Though not the biological mother, she loves all those pets as if they were her own kids. Only Rickamiro wasn't created by her. She loves thinking of new, beautiful names with nice meanings for pets to give away or trade for other pets, trying to make people happy and at the same time get her own dreampets.

Koite stares at the pets, all smiling happily at her.
Makori Hi, little one. Holland's a nice place, you know. It's a little cold, maybe, but there are also nice and warm days. No wild animals to be afraid of; you'll be safe there.
Rickamiro
In a great city
A creature has begun a life
To forget the past...

Sporkleadra Don't pay attention to him. He's practicing on his Haiku's. I can help you grooming your hair, if you'd like.

Koite stares, almost impolitely, at Makori's kind smile, Rickamiro's wise eyes and Sporkle's perfectly groomed scales. After that, she looks at me, with big, sparkling eyes.
Koite A-are you sure? I-I mean, I.. I'm not special..
Yokailo Yes you are. This is why I'd love to give you a place in my family..

Your name is beautiful, it's cute and makes you an unique being; there's no other neopet in the whole wide world that has the same name.
Your color looks even better on you. I won't lie; I'd also like to have you because of the avatar, but you won't be a one-night stand; I'll keep you forever, only lending to people I really know and trust - like people from my guild - so I'm sure you'll never leave me.
Your species is my favourite. Makori's my first neopet ever, and she will never leave my family, and I know you'll get the same treatment. Although I also like Hissi's - {Sporkleadra and Rickamiro give me an evil look} - Xweetoks have such beautiful, big, sparkling eyes and they look so soft and furry that I just can't resist them.

Yokailo See? You'll have a great family when you come with me.
Koite But.. I mean, they all look so beautiful; all groomed, with clothes and stuff.. I would look so dull next to them..
Yokailo Oh no, you won't; I don't have clothes for you, but you look beautiful enough as you are; you won't look dull at all. Look at Makori; she's a basic Xweetok, yet she still is a beautiful creature.
Koite nods slowly and smiles happily.
Yokailo That's better.. I already thought you couldn't smile at all!
Koite I didn't have a reason to smile; now I have!
Yokailo You know what? As soon as we get home, I'll get you some nice drawings of pink Xweetoks to decorate your room. Would that be fun?
Koite's eyes get even more sparkly and she nods.

Art

Note: I didn't draw this myself; those are adoptables from all over the Neopian World. Credit goes to the artists, not to me.

My personal favourite =3
Clickeh to get your own insane xweetok adoptable!
This one looks a bit.. how shall I say it.. strange ^^" But funny xDD

Beautiful one ^^

Never saw one of those before *__* Very dynamic..

*already keeps quiet*

I shall not touch thy lolly..

Looking at the sky..

I shall not touch thy nut, too..

Dumdiedum..

Xweetok in a bottle..

Do the boogie!

And I made a makeable myself, too!

Aww... {It's crap, I know x____x}


Thank you só much for this /gorgeous/ pic of Koite! Good luck with your own application for Viele Sama as well!

Yokailo Have you had enough drawings?
Koite nods and stares at the beautiful pictures of herself.
Koite Do I really have such pink fur on my head?
Yokailo Yes, you do. It's even more beautiful pink than the ones on those drawings have...
Koite can't stop staring.
Yokailo So, do you want to come with me?
Koite looks happily up and grins.
Koite Did I ever say I didn't want to come with you?

At home

When we came home, I gave Koite some time to get used to my house. While she's roaming the house, I have some time to tell you, guest, more about me and Koite.

Koite Did I hear my name?
Yokailo I was just going to tell guest more about you. You can play with your crayons, if you want.
Koite smiles happily and takes her yellow crayon. I tenderly watch her drawing. You cough politely.
guest You were going to tell me about..
Yokailo Oh! Yeah, you're right.

She likes:
Drawing: She's a very creative Xweetok. Although she's very young, she likes to draw rainbows and flowers.
Purple: It's her favourit color. Most flowers she draws are purple, and the purple line of the rainbow is always the biggest.
Makori: Koite thinks of Makori as a mother, sistr and friend. She can talk with Makori, but also play and sometimes fight her.
Books: Rickamiro doesn't play, but he does read aloud to her. She can't read herself, yet, but she does like to sit on his tail - which he curls around until it is a kind of chair - and look at the pictures.
Water: There is a little river, just around the corner of her house, and sometimes we hear her singing this song, about her friend being there for her, unless she needs him. We just let her sing, soothe her when she comes back, but never disturb her during the singing. She might become the shy, depressed Koite she was before.

She dislikes:
People who talk too much: They always end up talking about her parents. She doesn't like talking about whether or not she considers me and my pets as family, and whether or not she knows who her real family is. She doesn't really care any more.

Opinions

I asked some people for feedback. Of course, I didn't get only nice feedback, but I tried to improve my application as best as possible using their opinions.

Milk:
------------------------------
This is soo nicely done. The music really fits the theme, the layout is very pretty and I know that Yokailo is the perfect owner for this pet. I know her from way back and she'd really care for Koite. She's done her very best, no? Anyway, really pretty, darlin' «3 And ofcourse I must recommend Emilie Autumn as well... -cough- GOOD JOB YOK «3
------------------------------
Thank yoou Milkosh =3

nutsvaste gave me this feedback:
------------------------------
9/10
I like it a lot, just make font little bigger would be nice, it was 7.5 px I guess?
9px is easier to read.
btw, if you're applying of my pet, I definitely will give you!
------------------------------
I made the font a bit bigger, and thank you ^^

bleeding_blue_eyes told me this:
------------------------------
I've read over the first section of yours and it looks really good! I love how you made it pink and black since youre applying for a pink xwee!
I was goin to say your font is a bit small! Guess we just have different tastes in fonts. :3 oh and pink is def the right colour! suits herr ^^
------------------------------
{I told her her font of her application was a bit big, so that explains the 'your font' ^^"} Thanks very much; Good luck with your own application, too ^^

FAQ

Q: What are your plans for Koite?
A: Well, as I said in the application; I probably won't groom her with clothes. She'll be a pure Xweetok; but probably she will have a background. I still have to think of one that would suit her the best, as I don't have NC, but she probably will have one.
I would give her a petpet, probably a Spyder, to play with. Maybe, after I bought the striped paintbrush for Makori, I can start saving for a Hopso, as I think they match Koite's color very good. A Babyca would be cool, too.

Q: Why are you the best owner?
A: To be honest; before I started making this application I couldn't have answered this question. Now, after I made this, my plans got shape and I got really attached to Koite, this poor pink Xweetok, all alone on a rock, singing a lonely song.. I'm also very much online on Neopets - so much that my parents start worrying about my health - so she would get all the attention she needs.
Also, she wouldn't be traded right after I got the avatar; I know how that works. Avatarpets can be traded very easily, but I won't trade her. She'll be my permanent pet.

Q: There are some grammar mistakes in your application.. Why?
A: That's because I'm Dutch. I'm very sorry if there are mistakes; just send me a NM with the mistake - and (if possible) the way it should be - and I'll change it as soon as possible. I don't want you to get annoyed by the many grammar mistakes.

Q: On which account would Koite be?
A: That's a very difficult question I don't know yet as well. Nythera is my oldest account and has the most avatars, but Rickamiro is difficult to transfer; if you transfer a pet, only the clothes of the color the pet currently is go with him. As Rickamiro wears Islandclothes, but actually is a Desert Hissi, it's difficult to transfer him. So I'm making Meralla my new main.

Q: Then why is the application on Sigune?
A: That's the old version of the application, with mistakes in it. Please, forget that one and consider this my real application (:

Q: Do you want to say anything to finish this?
A: Oh, sure!
Thank you, guest, for reading this application. Thank you, Oppression, for putting Koite UFA and giving me the chance to be her new owner. And thank you, all the artists, who spent their time making the adoptables for me to use.
Also, I used some lyrics from songs. The top one is My Fairweather Friend from Emilie Autumn, the most amazing singer, songwriter and violist ever. The lines about Rickamiro are from I know what I know, a song by Paul Simon. The background music is also Emilie Autumn, Juliet (Old English Remix). All amazing songs, and I especially recommend Emilie Autumn. She's amazing. (yep, a real fan.. *waves*)
And, if you have any questions left, just NM me. I'll answer the question in the mail and also put the question here, so you can read the answer again if you'd like. If you don't want your question to be on this page, please say so in your NM.

Thank You


Yeah, and I just really wanted to post this.. My inbox x____x You know how it works; take the link out of properties and watch the image. Or don't, if you'd like.
