It's just one crazy adventure after another, isn't it?
First a pet-eating tree, now a baby Neopet problem. Oh, it'd be easier to just
tell you, wouldn't it? OK, then, here goes...
"ARGH! OPERTIGUP!!!" I shouted. Opertigup was a hacker Jubjub, and always
playing pranks on us. This time, he cracked our computer system that ran our
speakers. Now, instead of playing the music we were playing, it was blasting
out the Blarney theme. "I loathe you, you loathe me..." I could hear Opertigup
giggle.
"AHA!" KoochieNoobus exclaimed, pulling Opertigup out from under a table. "This
is the last time you mess with us, Opertigup!" And with that, she threw him
outside into the streets.
"Ugh! I'm so humiliated! There has to be SOME way I can get back at them for
this..." he growled.
Later, aboard the Space Station...
"I'll get Neopia this time, I know it! And those stupid Noodles won't be able
to stop me, either, because they will be affected by it as well... MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!"
Dr. Sloth laughed.
A small Grundo hurried up to him. "Sir! The ray isn't working! We can't use
it!"
Dr. Sloth was shocked. "WHAT?!" he shouted, grabbing the Grundo.
"Erm...your Baby Ray to turn all Neopets into Baby Neopets doesn't work...but
we'll find some other way, sir! Oh, we will!"
Sloth dropped the Grundo and walked off into the shadows.
"Wait up, sir!" the Grundo cried, trying to keep up with Dr. Sloth.
"Baby Ray, huh?" A chuckle came from behind a nearby pillar.
"Oh, don't worry, Sloth, it'll work...I'll make it work. I'll settle the fight
between the Noodles and I once and for all!"
Opertigup laughed, stepping out from behind the pillar. He walked toward the
main control computer and started to hack into it. Finally, the screen showed
"FIRING RAY IN 10...9...8..." Opertigup laughed, but then stopped immediately,
turning pale. "Wait a second! If the Baby Ray affects all Neopets in Neopia,
then doesn't that include..." he gulped. "...me?" He glanced over at the screen.
"FIRING RAY IN 3...2...1..." Opertigup got a wide look in his eyes. "No...way..."
*ZZWWOOOAARRM* went the ray.
"I'm a...BABY!" he shouted. There was no Baby Jubjub yet...until now. "I can't
be seen like this! I've gotta hide..."
Early Morning...
*YAWN* KoochieNoobus stretched and hopped out of bed. "AAAAIIIEEEE!" She didn't
quite hop...more like fell...
KoochieNoobus opened her eyes and looked around. She gasped in surprise. "Waaaaah!
Everything's BIGGER!!!" She ran around in circles, confused and bewildered,
then realised something...she raced into Number Nimmo's room to find that all
her brothers were there, and they were indeed the same size as her.
"You too, KN?" Bhuhbuh said. "Boy, what a problem this! Everyone is a Baby
Neopet!"
KN rubbed her eyes. No, she wasn't seeing anything...her brothers WE'RE Baby
Neopets!
"Well, we should go get Mom..." Number Nimmo said.
The four of them trotted into my room. "Mom...mom...mom! Mom, wake up!"
I opened my eyes slowly, and awakened to four tiny pets standing on my face.
"Mffphhnnffmrph!" I muttered.
"Oops...sorry," they all said, walking off of my head.
"Say, who are you guys?" I asked, baffled at the four pets on my bed.
"You don't recognise us, Mom? Wow, we really must be Baby Neopets! It's us,
Mom...Bhuhbuh, Number Nimmo, Firey_Sac, and KN!" Number Nimmo said. I nearly
fainted.
A little later, when the brought me back to my senses, I looked at my pets
and sighed. "How are you guys going to play if your instruments are twice as
big as you?"
KN, who had been sitting quietly in the corner, looked up at me and said, "Call
kristelle15."
Of course! If all Neopets are now Baby Neopets, then what about the pets who
were already babies?
*RING!* *RING!*
"Hello?" answered thegreatcharcoal, KN's friend and kristelle15's pet. "Hi,
Charcoal! It's me, Noodle. I just called because...well..." I hesitated and
asked him to check on KichouTakara, his and KN's baby daughter. He was silent
for a moment, and then I heard him shakily respond "Th...there's...nobody there...j-j-just...a-an
egg..." I dropped the phone as though it had just bitten me, and all KN had
to do was look at me to know what had happened.
"I'd bet my left wing that Opertigup is behind this somehow!" Bhuhbuh yelled.
"That low-down, good-for-nothin', stupid little..." *SMACK!* Firey_Sac slapped
him across the beak. "Get a hold of yourself! We just have to figure out where
he is! Then we can solve this."
KN was already on it. She was (literally) on her computer, jumping from key
to key so she could type. "OK guys, using my pet finder, I've found Opertigup's
hiding place!"
I glanced at the screen and scooped up my tiny pets. "We're going to Maraqua!"
I shouted, and ran toward the car.
A few minutes later, we were at the Tyrannian Shore. We walked over to a small
stand that read "MRKRAWK SUBMARINE SERVICES".
KoochieNoobus rang a little bell and a small Krawk popped up. "Hello, welcome
to MrKrawk Submarine Serv...WHAAA?" He fell backwards and then came right back
up. "Aren't you...the Noodles?"
Firey_Sac sighed. "I guess we're recognisable even if we're babies. Can we
take a submarine down to the Maraqua Ruins?"
MrKrawk smiled. "Sure! I'll pilot it for you." He led us over to a submarine
and we all got in.
A Few Minutes Later...
"Maraqua, dead below!" MrKrawk bellowed.
Every one was looking out the windows of the submarine.
"Hey, I see him!" Number Nimmo exclaimed. He pointed out the window to a little
Jubjub in a scuba diving suit.
"A-ha!" MrKrawk bellowed out. "We must don our DIVING SUITS!" He went in the
back and pulled out six diving suits. We put them on and he shouted "TALLYHO!"
as he opened the hatch.
Quickly, he swam ahead and grabbed Opertigup, dragging him over to us.
"Speak!" I yelled. "What do you know about the Baby Neopets?"
He sighed and kicked some sea-coral. "All right, ya caught me," he whined.
"I hacked Sloth's computer and used his Baby ray to make you guys Baby Neopets
So what? It doesn't matter now." Just as he finished his sentence, there was
a great *BZZZMM* and the sound of something losing power...
Back on the Space Station...
"Oops...uh-oh...I am soooooo dead," a tiny Grundo whispered, after tripping
over the main power cord. "It took forever to build the Baby ray...and it just
lost power..." He sniffled and let out a tear as he heard
Sloth's angered voice booming through the corridors. "WHAAAAT?! WHAT HAS HAPPENED
HERE?!?!?!"
The little Grundo gulped.
