Hi, my name is kirb_y2k. Right now I am a blue Lupe who wants to become a fire
Lupe My owner is saving up for a Fire Fire Your Pants on Fire Paintbrush. I
have a great life. It was not always that great though, and it all started about
a month ago.
I was born a green Kiko, hence the name kirb. Since I am a Lupe right now I
want to change it, but unfortunately there is no way to do that. After one day
my former owner starznstripesy2k15* changed me to blue, which I made me very
happy, since that is my 2nd favourite colour besides fire. I only lived with
my owner a couple days when the real trouble began. I had two older sisters
and a brother, a Red Flotsam and a Blue Jetsam and Faerie Uni. The Faerie Uni
sweetiepiey2k71, was always my owner’s favourite. Every day she bought many
lipsticks and blushes and brushes to make sweetiepie very pretty. She once was
in the beauty contest, and was in second place in the Uni category. The Flotsam
and Jetsam, aqua_girl_y2k* and aqua_guy_y2k* were very jealous of sweetiepie,
and became best friends, always hanging out in the water near our house on Mystery
Island. They were jealous of me for a little while too because I was spoiled
my first day. I was painted with a blue paintbrush and got loads of attention.
Butt then things got back to normal, the way they were before I came. I went
to school everyday, where I never talked much, so no one knew me. The Flotsam
and Jetsam went to the under water school in Maraqua, and sweetiepie went to
the private school, Uni tech. Every day I went home, the aquas, as they were
called, went to the water to swim, sweetiepie went out with starznstripes, and
I stayed home, staring at sweetiepie’s Triffin, who never really did anything
but stare back. I loved my owner, but I was not very sure if she loved me. I
wished I could do something help out at my owner’s store, (only sweetiepie could
do that) go to the guild, (only sweetiepie) or just do something.
Then one day, like all the others, I went home, and found everyone else gone.
So I went out on the porch to ponder. I saw the Lupe from my battle class walk
by. He was so strong and smart, I remember wishing I were like him. Then I saw
the lake I saw the aquas playing, and aquagirl yelled, “Come on Kirb, come play
with us!!” It looked like so much fun, so I ran outside and yelled, “Here I
come!” I ran to the edge of the water and stopped. It looked so scary. There
was no way you could see through the water. And there was no way I was going
in there. “Come on in, the water is great, and all Kikos love water!” yelled
aqua_guy. I took another look in the water. Way deep in the lake I saw two other
Kikos laughing, and one of them dipped the other one under the water. I wanted
so bad to have fun like that, but the water… “Sorry you guys I forgot, starznstripes
wants me to make dinner,” I said, and ran up towards the house.
Later that night after the hamburgers and Chocopie slices I had made, starznstripes
stopped us as we got up from the table. “You guys, I have a big surprise,” she
said. Usually the surprise would mean another contest that sweetiepie was entered
in, so I didn’t bother to look up. “I know I haven’t spent a lot of time with
you Kirby,” she said. That was new, she had never said anything like that ever
before. “We have all been so busy, and I have never done anything with you,
and I know you never do anything after you get home after school. So I signed
you up to be on the school’s swim team.” She beamed. It was a really nice thing
to do, and if I hadn’t been afraid of the water I would have been ecstatic.
But I was. The aquas exchanged a glance then didn’t look back at each other;
they knew they would start laughing. Sweetiepie looked a bit jealous,but she
had always been tolerant of me. Starznstripes, looked at me, waiting for my
answer.
“Um, I…” I mumbled. Aqua_girl giggled, Aqua_guy snickered, and starznstripes
looked puzzled. “I am afraid of water,” I blurted out.
My owner looked slightly mad, and very confused. “But you are a Kiko, all Kikos
are supposed to like water!” Sweetiepie looked at me in disdain.
“She does something nice to you and you reject it,” she said.
“I’m sorry,” I began. Starznstripes leaned back in her chair and started to
rub her forehead. I bolted for my small room. I heard starznstripes say to the
others.
“A Kiko who’s afraid of water, that ridiculous. What am I going to do with
her?” I cried, and realised I didn’t belong in this family. My owner was never
mean, she just wanted something, and I wasn’t it.
How could I tell her that? It turns out I didn’t have too. When I went downstairs
the next morning, she told me that I would be better with someone else. She
gripped me hard by the hand and took me on a walk. I had never been on a walk
and was beginning to enjoy it until we stopped in front of a building. I was
scared, until I saw a beautiful Uni. She wasn’t at all like sweetiepie.
“Are you here to adopt?” she said in a clear voice, one that I could trust.
“Not today,” said my owner. The Uni frowned and pointed to the desk next to
her. A scary looking lizard towered in front of me.
“Hello,” he said in a raspy voice.“Do you wish to leave your pet here for me
to… take care of?”
“Yes” said my owner in a firm voice. I began to get scared; this was the pound.
“What are you doing to me?” I said and started to cry.
“Goodbye Kirb. Too bad you hate the water,” she whispered, and turned around
and left.
“Come with me, I’m Dr_Death. You will be living here until someone who likes
you takes you home. This is your cage. He put me in a cage, and scribbled a
note in front, which said my name, battle stats, species, age, and price. Then
he left. I cried myself to sleep.
The next day many people came and looked at the pets. The Acara next to me
explained to me about this place. “Your owner drops you off here because they
didn’t like you or couldn’t take care of you. People will come and if they like
you take you home with you,” he said.
“What if no one wants you?” I said.
“I don’t know,” he replied. “When a person comes around, behave good and they
might take you, look here is one now.”
A tall balding man walked around the cages. He stopped in front of mine. “Oh
a Kiko, how cute, but she can’t swim?” he laughed, and took the Acara next to
me, and I was all alone.
I stayed there for one more day, until someone came. She was around 12 and
blonde. “I love Kikos, they are so cute!” She opened the cage door, lifted me
out of it and brought me to the Uni, who winked at me.
“Do you want to adopt this fine Kiko?” she asked.
The person holding me said, “Yes.”
Then we walked outside, and she introduced herself. “I’m chelkeycat. I’m 12
years old. I have my own guild and shop, which gets like fifty customers per
day. My house is in Neopia, a couple blocks away, near a pond."
Maybe she won’t make me go swimming in it, I thought.
“Where are we going now?” I asked.
She told me we were going to the chocolate store owned by a Kiko like me. She
bought me a nice white chocolate Kiko, which I ate and loved.
“We have one more place to go before you can meet your new sister, the Rainbow
Pool.”
I had been there before, when I was very little and changed to blue. I don’t
remember it.
“Do you like Christmas?” she asked.
I said yes, remembering the one before when I had gotten a yo-yo, while sweetiepie
got a scooter and lots of make up.
“Well, I have the perfect thing for you,” she said. And she pulled out a Christmas
Paint Brush, and painted me Christmas.
Then we went home, and I met my new sister, Beryers, who was adopted from the
pound just like me. She is a Bruce painted Christmas like me.
I like to help out with my owner’s store, and go to the guild meetings with
her. I share a nice room with Beryers (who wants to be painted Disco, we are
saving for that, too), and I have lots of toys and attention. I have met lots
of new friends, and share a Floud with my new sister and all my stuff with my
sister. We are best friends by the way.
I now love to swim. The first day I went to the pond I was with all my friends
at a party at my house. After I didn’t go in, chelkeycat asked me what was the
matter. I told her I was afraid, and she wasn’t mad, she laughed. “Oh that’s
okay, you don’t have to go in if you don’t want to. But you are missing out
on a lot of fun."
After the party I asked chelkeycat if I could have swimming lessons. Swimming
became very easy after I became a Lupe, but that's a different story.
I hope this story helps you to learn that pets from the pound need you, and
there are lots of ones that are already level 2 with great stats, painted with
paint brushes, and have been read to. Some have problems that can be solved
easily like mine. Adopting is the greatest! And please don’t disown the your
pet unless it is 100% necessary! Remember, adopt from the pound! Click Here.
The names are changed to protect the innocent. And kirb_y2k's former owner,
you are probably a great person, but its kinda boring to write an article about
a great person.
