The Adventures of The Neo Detectives: Part One

The Case of the Unidentified Kau

One snowy day, a little girl named Lindsey was strolling through the marketplace with her Cybunny, Easter and her Shoyru, Dragonboy. They were headed to Neopian National bank, where Lindsey's mother had told her to deposit 11,000 NPs. Lindsey held the bag loosely in her hand, and folded her hands behind her back. Not a good thing to do when you're carrying Neopoints!

Suddenly, a Yellow Kau rushed past them, grabbing the bag on its way! Lindsey screamed when she saw the Kau disappear with the Neopoints. "Oh no! Mum worked really hard to earn those Neopoints!" She fell to her knees and started to cry.

"Don't worry, Lindsey!" Dragonboy said, bravely. "This is a job for the Neo Detectives!"

"Right! We'll solve the case of (here, Easter paused for a dramatic effect) The Unidentified Kau!"

Lindsey smiled, then hugged the two of them. Easter whipped out a magnifying glass. She examined the ground closely. "Ah ha! Footprints in the snow!" They all followed the footprints until they came to a group of giggling, teenage Usuls.

"Um, excuse me? Can you please get off our clue!" Dragonboy said to the group, looking annoyed.

The Usuls giggled some more, then finally moved out of the way. Only to reveal...a huge mass of footprints. The Usuls' and the Kau's.

"Maybe we can ask around. I'm pretty sure at least someone would have noticed a Kau darting around with a bag of Neopoints!" Dragonboy said to Easter and Lindsey.

"Good idea, Dragonboy!" Easter said, happily.

Easter walked up to an elderly Nimmo. "Excuse me, sir. Did you happen to notice a Kau dashing about with a bag of Neopoints?"

The Nimmo leaned over, squinting his eyes. "What?" He shouted in a hoarse voice. "Speak up, sweetie. I can't hear you!"

Easter leaned over, and yelled in his ear, "HAVE YOU SEEN A KAU DASHING ABOUT WITH A BAG OF NEOPOINTS???"

"Have I been a Kau dashing about with a bag of Neomites medicine? Certainly not, young 'un! I'm as healthy as a horse!"

And with that, he started coughing and choking. Easter sighed, and walked over to Dragonboy. "Any luck?"

"Nope. The lady Gelert I was talking to, started saying that I was too skinny for a little Shoyru, and that I should eat more...'You're all skin and bones, Hon! You need to pork up a little! No offense, sonny..I'm just concerned about your health!'" Dragonboy imitated in a high-pitched voice.

"Oh...are we ever going to find out who the culprit is??" Easter said with a sigh.
