N.W.G. -- Neopian Weekly Gossip!

by Mandyx21

What's the gossip around the Neopian World? Well, this issue, we are traveling to Happy Valley to scoop up some juicy gossip!

Rainbow_Chia_Pop: Hiya! I am the author of N.W.G, Rainbow_Chia_Pop and today I am interviewing Maria Blumaroono from the Neopian Stock Market. We are going to be asking her about the big end-of-2000-stock crash so listen up! (Maria is on Winter Break, but we found her chillin' at Happy Valley)

R.C.P: So Maria, what's the scoop on the big stock crash of Dec. 2000?

Maria: Well, I am not authorised to say so... but I guess you can know... but if anyone who reads this interview has lost a stock in Dec. 2000 because of the drop, turn back now!

R.C.P: Why do you say that, Maria?

Maria: Well, here's the story (wavy effect, like a flashback scene) It all happened on Christmas Eve. Mariel Moehog (our stock ticker programmer) was kinda tired, and when she was programming the ticker to send to all the stock companies, she wrote the numbers a little different and all their money that was lost went into the paychecks of the stock market workers (Nigel got the most, a whopping 20,000,000 Neopoints, and everyone else got a 50 Neopoint bonus, next to the usual paycheck of 20,000 a month!). So if anyone experienced a stock drop, it's all Mariel's fault!

R.C.P: Are you sure Maria? Sources say you (and an anonymous Chia) had dropped the stocks of the other companies, but raised the amount your private stock held and made you get ten times your normal paycheck (20,000 a month x 10=100,000 Neopoints) so you could take a vacation, buy yourself some gold skis & boots and go to Happy Valley for a week-long vacation along with this anonymous Chia?

Maria: um.. well.... it was Nigel's idea!

R.C.P.: So, there you have it folks! The real reason your stocks dropped so drastically! I'll be back in another issue of the Neopian Times very soon! Until then, Goodnight and Good...um... flight?
