SuperComet Chia was skipping down the road from school. She was listening to
the newest Sticks N Stones tune. Her eyes were half closed, and lips silently
moving to the words of the song.
All was fine until she reached the intersection of Main Street and Chia Close
Road.
"AAAAAAUUUUGGGGGHHHH!!!"
***
"I'm telling you, I honestly don't know where my darling SuperComet is!!"
supercoolchamp, SuperComet's mother yelled at the police inspector.
"This is very suspicious. Our K9 teams have come back with no luck, but they
have found-" The Chia police inspector showed supercoolchamp the backpack of
SuperComet filled with text books and pencils.
"Huh? How was my DARLING SuperComet carrying the Sticks N Stones tape? I BANNED
that horrid music from my home! I--"
"Ma'am, please cooperate with us. You identify this as your Chia's, right?"
"Yes. But how--"
"Please. Now, do you know ANYONE holding a grudge over SuperComet?"
"No, SuperComet was an angel. She would never want to harm a soul! Everyone
loved her, and everyone in Neopia always smiled when they saw her skipping down
the street! NO ONE hated her!" supercoolchamp ranted.
"Um...okay. We get the point!" the Chia police inspector said. He was
exasperated, but over his years he had learned to keep his temper. "We will
keep investigating. We have the fear that she may have been Neonapped by the
'Skeith's Fires'. She may have been the sixth pet. Hopefully, the last!"
"Will we EVER see our DARLING SuperComet AGAIN?"
"Yes! By the way, do you know the address of, erm, Julyanni, her best friend?"
Julyanni Aisha was running after her Pet Rock down the road.
"Hold on! Are you Julyanni Aisha?"
"YES! OH MY FAERIE QUEEN! ARE YOU THE CHIA POLICE!? Honestly, here's the pen!
I didn't mean to steal it from the Neomail office! I just accidentally slipped
it in my pocket, honestly, please beli-"
"Whatever! We need to talk to you!" the Chia said. He was at the end of
his rope.
"Okie, I JUST HAVE TO FIND MY PET ROCK!" she said. As the police left her
to chase after her rock, she heard a rustling in the bushes.....
"Rocky? You there?" she asked. She ran down the path to the bush. "Rocky?"
"You there?"
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKK--" Her scream was cut off.
***
"Where's my SISTER? WHERE IS SHE? WAHHHH!!!" Ellyanny Aisha wailed. Her
faerie wings flopped down. "IS SHE ALIVE?" she asked.
"Ahhhh! She is probably still alive, but if you don't cooperate with us, well,
it could be the end of her! Just calm down! Dry those tears, here, use my handkerchief...."
"PROBABLY?!"
"For FaerieLand's sake.....officer, prepare a press release to the Neopian
Times...tell them to look out for a Desert Aisha with the name of Julyanni Aisha
and a Blue Chia with the name of SuperComet Chia Tell everyone the sixth and
seventh Neonapping of the 'Skeith's Fires' have been committed, there is now
a curfew- NO how about a BAN and no NeoPet or owner is allowed to come out of
their home....tell all the officers to carry their Grand Lightning Beams with
them EVERYWHERE...."
"Now. Ellyanny, do you want to come with us to identify the Pet Rock we found?"
"Oh, you mean ROCKY? Sure...."
***
"Yup, it's her all right. Rocky girl, come here! Come on...come on...that's
a good pet rock, come on!" Ellyanny coaxed her Pet Rock out of a compost
pile.
"Ew...she smells like orange peels...."
"Yes yes, do you know if anyone-"
"HEY! EVERYONE LOOK! THERE IS THIS REMOTE HERE! COOL!" Ellyanny exclaimed
as she looked over a small strange remote.
"NeoPets, it's probably only a lost TV remote. Or something, but- Hey, it's
WEIRD," the officer said. "Hmmm.....Let's send it to our labs....It could
be a clue!"
***
"A time machine? Wow...." Ellyanny whispered.
"The opening into the vortex, undoubtedly, the opening to the past, is quite
small. If the Neonapper used this, he must be very small" said the lab
worker.
"Let's see..."
A slivery rainbow coloured tunnel appeared out of nowhere.
"Wow...." Ellyanny remarked.
The opening appeared. It was JUST big enough for Ellyanny.
"If Ellyanny could fit in it, obviously, her sister and best friend could too!"
the lab worker concluded.
"Yes, yes....ah....let me think....." the investigator replied in a 'half-there'
voice.
***
"Now remember Ellyanny, the RED button gets you the vortex, and the WHITE button
tells our computer that you found them, and the GREEN button activates the microphone
we imbedded in your suit and--"
"AHH! Can't you just WRITE IT ON PAPER!???"
"Well, in 2500 ANP (After NeoPets) they might not have paper, they may have
a form of--"
"Whatever. I'll figure it out!"
"Okay, okay...."
"Now, Elly, can you-"
"It's EllyANNY!"
"Right. Now, Ellyanny, do try to prevent the future Neopians from looking at
you, please-"
"OKAY! YOUR LAB TECHNICIAN ALREADY TOLD ME ABOUT SEVEN TIMES!"
"Seven times for SEVEN Neona-"
"Just let me go already!"
That was how the two parted....
