Nikoyn had known that the day she came home to her knew family was going to be crazy and chaotic, but she had never expected it to turn out like this...
It was the day Nikoyn was moving into her new home. It was quite a nice day, the sun giving off warm rays of sunshine... much to Niki's dismay. Whether this was a sign of events to come, she was unsure of. The whole experience was quite nerve-racking, as moving to a new home and mixing with a new family isn't exactly an easy thing. A few weeks prior, Niki had sat down with Amy. She showed her a photo album containing pictures of all of her new siblings. With each picture, Amy had told her a little bit about that pet. Amy was a nice lady, she thought, but she had never met those pets in person. Niki was not one to rely on a description from others, but rather view the subject she was to be associating with and then building her own opinion upon that. With a sigh of anxiety, she finished packing her large maroon suitcase and began trudging off to her new place.
As she arrived at her new home, a woman she recognized to be Amy was standing at the door, smiling. She took Niki's suitcase in the house. Amy then gave her a friendly hug and motioned for her to take a seat on the cosy black couch. Amy left the room for a second, and when she came back, she was holding a white kettle with a floral design.
I made some tea, if you'd like some," she hinted in a kind voice.
I'm not much of a tea person... but I may as well get used to the habits of this household, so I'll have a small cup, if you will," Niki answered, stuttering. She was still a bit shy around Amy and spat our her words, as she had only met with her on a few occasions. There were a few moments of silence as Amy was sipping her tea, Niki twidling her... paws.
I'm sure you'd like to meet the rest of your family."
Nikoyn quickly looked up, startled at the sudden sound.
Mitzi, Cream, and Jasmine are upstairs in their rooms; don't worry, they each have door tags. Kovuda and Envenoms are out in the backyard, and, if I recall correctly, Assisting, Draytia and Sereneli went to the Haunted Woods. Avyhn went to Faerieland to pick up dinner. They'll be back soon."
Nikoyn blinked, trying hard to comprehend all the information thrown at her. Amy laughed.
We've quite a big family," she said. "Not to worry, though; you'll fit in fine. They're a lovely bunch of Neopets. Now then... your room is upstairs, down the hallway, last room at the left. While you get aquainted with the others, I'll unpack your bag. Is that alright?"
Niki nodded.
Amy smiled. Then she grabbed Nikoyn's suitcase and carried it up the stairs to her new room.
When Amy was out of sight, Niki stood up. She closely examined the room around her. It looked like a nice, though out-of-date, place to live. It was furnished with simple black chairs and a couch, two nice cherry wood end tables, one holding a lamp and the other a lavender vase with big, bright red roses inside (Amy's favourites, she assumed), a coffee table in the center of the room matching the end tables, a black rug with a lavender floral print beneath the coffee table, and a wide-screen TV at one corner of the room. Personally, it was a bit much for Niki's taste, but she didn't mind.
Suddenly, she heard a loud "thud" coming from above. Her eyes widened and she spun around, facing the stairs. Atop them was a Shadow Gelert. It immediatly ran down the stairs, faster than Nikoyn had seen anyone go before. The Gelert lept forward towards Koyn, nearly knocking her down.
Nikoyn! Or should I say... Koyn." The Gelert giggled with delight at what she thought was a clever statement. "That's what I'll call you from now on, okay, Koyn?"
Niki just stood there, puzzled.
I'm Mitzi," she grinned. "Well, sorry I don't have time to talk, Koyn! Me and Jazzy are playing hide-and-seek, and she's counting, and I have to find a place to hide, and, and... well, see you later, roomie!"
Amy said she was a bit hyper... I never imagined,' Koyn thought. Without another thought, a voice came from upstairs once more.
Ready or not, here I come!!!" At the foot of the stairs now was a tall Blue Lupe. This time, with less speed, the figure came stomping down the stairs. She almost ran past Niki, when she quickly came to a stop.
Hmmm? Oh... Niki? Nikoyn?" she asked with curiosity.
That's me," Niki stated. The Lupe seemed cheery now.
Hahah, Amy told me you were coming around soon! The name's Jasmine... Jazz or Jazzy for short. Good to see ya. I've got to go find Mitzi now... last time she hid in the cupboard, busted a pipe... that was a long day..." Jasmine then jogged off in the same direction Mitzi had gone previously. Nikoyn waited a few seconds to see if there were going to be anymore "surprises" up the stairs, then went up those very stairs (xD!) To her surprise, the rooms weren't as tidy as she had imagined. She then assumed who must be living in those rooms, Mitzi and Jasmine, and the thought left her mind. In one room there sat a Yellow Cybunny atop a light pink beanbag, reading a book. Her ears stirred and she looked up, putting the book on her lap. Neither Niki or the other Cybunny spoke for a short while.
Hello," she said, after the awkward silence. "My name is Cream. You must be Nikoyn." Niki felt unusually open to her. Both were shy, and both were Cybunnies. She felt, in a sense, safer. The Cybunny went on.
By the look on your face, you must've met Mitzi and Jasmine. They're much more friendly and hyper than I am. I'm sorry."
No need to apologize," Niki reassured her. "I'm not one to be jumping around the house myself either." Cream smiled a shy, yet somehow friendly, smile. Niki did the same.
You should probably meet the others," Cream reminded him. "Don't worry, I'll be here. If they drive you nuts, you can always hide in your room, as I do," she laughed. Nikoyn let out a warm chuckle and left the room. She then headed out to the garden, where she was told two of her other siblings were to be.
The garden was filled with gorgeous, well-attended to flowers and foliage of all sorts of colours. Standing out in the garden were two Red Poogles, staring at the unfamiliar face. Both paced forwards towards him.
Nikoyn... welcome man. Welcome to the garden. What's happenin'?" One Poogle, at best, was a hippie. "Name's Kovuda, Kovu for short. This here's my gardenin' partner, Envenoms." he said while roughly putting his arm around the other Poogle's neck.
Aye, call me Envenoms." the Poogle said. From Niki's observations, she was pretty friendly.
If you want to help in the garden anytime, just ask!" Envenoms said with a happy tone. With that, Niki left the garden, an unusual warmth feeling inside of her, and headed back to the living room. She had just remembered that Amy was in her new room, unpacking her belongings, and wanted to check things out for herself. As she entered the living room, the door burst open, and her attention went to the entrance.
I'm HOOOOOOOOOOME!!!" were the words of a lively Darigan Peophin, carrying a brown paper bag in her hooves. "I brought home some strawberry and grape gummy rats for everyone!" she shouted with joy. "Don't worry, no rats were harmed in the making of these gummies," she added. The Peophin suddenly spotted Niki standing there with a funny look on her face.
Oh... so you're Niki, eh? Pleasure to meet you! I'm Sereneli, call me Serene!" she extended a hoove towards Koyn, forgetting that she had a bag in her hooves. Quickly, she retracted her hoove and caught the bag just before it hit the floor. "I'll be in the kitchen putting away the groceries if you need me." Sereneli quickly stated before she went in the other room.
Niki, once again, was about to head towards her room when something caught her eye. A Green Tuskaninny abruptly slid through the doorway, with a Yellow Kacheek trailing after in on short legs.
Well well well, what do we have here? Oh... you're... yeah. I'm Assisting, call me that or else," the Tuskaninny had a stern seriousness to her voice. Niki nodded, unsure of what to make of the situation. Assisting made a snort-laugh sound and giggled. "I don't mean to frighten you, Niknik! Really! Despite the fact that I slide in through the doorway when people don't expect it, I'm not that bad!" she was now tripping over her words.
No worries," Niki nervously responded, not sure what she was really supposed to say.
I'ma help Serene unload. She always forgets to put the milk in the fridge, and frankly, I don't like spoiled milk." Assisting once again slid across the floor and into the kitchen.
The Kacheek, finally catching its breath, began to speak.
I'm Draytia, Dray for short," she said, nearly falling to the ground. Huffing and puffing, Niki offered to help her up. "No no, it's alright," the Kacheek mumbled. "Sometimes... it's just hard to keep up with those two. They're very high-energy, and I'm, well, not. I usually go with Avyhn on errands because I can get a ride," she chuckled off, then went upstairs to her room.
Avyhn?' Niki thought. The one sibling she had yet to meet. Within minutes, she heard a windy, flapping noise coming from outside. Soon after, in the door came a most radiant sight: an incredibly beautiful Faerie Bori.
I'm back, and let me tell you, we're going to be eating good tonight!" she called out. "They had JUST made some Faerie Dreamwiches when I got there. And, for dessert, some Brillaint Bubble Cream!" By now Niki realized that the Bori didn't see her presence, and she introduced herself.
Hi, I'm Nikoyn. You know... the new girl?" she stated shyly.
Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there!" the Bori said, more humbly than Niki had expected. "My name's Avyhn, and when it comes to Faerie foods, I'm in my own world," she joked. "Did Amy show you around? If not, I can just put these on hold and--"
Quite alright, I'll manage," Niki smiled. Avyhn retorted a smile back, then went into the kitchen. 'This family sure likes their food...' she thought.
Nikoyn finally got the chance to check out her new room. She was in awe at how much it made her feel at home. The carpet was a black shag, the wall colour a dark red, covered with her posters of her favourite bands. She had a small closet set in black wood, that matched the nice dresser she had. The bed covers were a simple, yet classy, bright red trimmed with black.
Hope you like it!" Amy smiled as she unpacked the last of Niki's things. "We're not as different as you may think," she winked. A huge grin came accross Niki's face. "I'll leave you to get used to things... besides, I'm sure Serene and Ave need as much help as they can get in the kitchen. Gummy rats and Faerie foods don't exactly mix, as Serene seems to think..." Amy trailed off as she left the room. Nikoyn sat down on her new bed, put her headphones on, and closed her eyes, lying back on the soft comforter. As she slowly drifted to sleep, she thought of the new adventures that she would have with her new diverse, loving family.

Recommendations
kt_fox: Amy is a really, REALLY good friend of mine. she's kind and thoughtfull, and she takes awesome care of her pets. If I had to choose only one person on earth to take care of my pets, it'd be Amy. There is no one I'd trust more, so it's a fact that you wouldn't be sorry if you pick Amy to be your Cybunny's new owner! Your pet would be in the best hands she could possibly be in.
doglver44: Amy is a very experienced Neopets player. she knows all the ins and outs of Neopets, so if something happens to her pets, she will know what to do about it. Also i know that she will just not dump Nikoyn in the pound because for no reason. When she has a neopet, its hers forever!

If I am chosen to be the new owner of Nikoyn, she will go on my account x0_shadow. It's one of two main accounts.
CiRcUs GoThIcA 2: This is my AIM screename. I'm on multiple times a day, so you can contact me here if you wish, and it makes a much safer transfer.
xo_amy: This is one of two mains and is also my Lab account.
amyrose_girl: This was my first account, and is now a side, containing information about me.
phantomgurl210: This is basically my side Neoboards chat account that I don't do much with. o.o;

I did not know where else to put this, so I'm putting it here. I had a Baby Peophin who was Boochi'd, and she was successfully transfered to a new owner. Also, on my account xo_amy, I like either adopting from the pound or creating pets, Labbing them, and finding new owners for them. I've successfully transfered all of those pets as well. Now then... every application has to have a closing, so here's mine. =D I am sure you have and are going to recieve beautiful worthy applications, and I'd like to thank you for taking time to read mine. With that said, good luck in finding a wonderful, loving home for Nikoyn. ^^
- Amy
