The Deal

by Jcsports25

When Bubbles the Red Acara was born, her owner named Sydney promised to take good care of her. And she did! Bubbles became a very rich pet. Sydney adopted a blue Kacheek named Cheeka and a green Bruce named Atlanta. Life was great! Until now....

Bubbles woke up one morning, and heard the landlord talking to Sydney. Bubbles lived in a luxury apartment building. Their rent was 100 NP per week.

"Listen if you don't pay your rent at the end of this week, you are packing your bags!" the landlord exclaimed.

"Please just give me one more week. I am having financial problems right now," Sydney begged.

"I DON'T CARE! IT HAS BEEN 20 WEEKS ALREADY. THAT'S 2000 NP YOU OWE ME," the landlord shouted.

"Please keep your voice down. My pets are sleeping. Just give me one more week and I'll work this out," Sydney replied.

"Fine. But you better pay the rent or you'll be living in a cardboard box," said the landlord as she left.

"Syd, how come you didn't pay the rent yet? We have all this money," Bubbles asked as she came out of her room with her brother and sister.

"Listen. I lost my job at the office. The money was used on the shop so I can pay our bills and be able to put food on our table. I found another job though. I am recently working in the finest restaurant in Neopia. The boss only pays 10 NP an hour and I work only 6 hours," Sydney replied.

"Let's go to the Wheel of Excitement or buy Scratchcard," Atlanta suggested.

"No, I have had loads of bad luck. I probably won't win anything. Besides it's time for you to go to school," said Sydney.

When the pets left the door, Bubbles realised she was late to the bus stop. She ran as fast as her little legs can carry her, but the bus already left.

"It's not fair! Cheeka and Atlanta gets picked up but not me. I am also hungry. I wish we weren't poor. I'll do anything to be rich again!" Bubbles cried.

"You would do anything to be rich again, huh?" someone said. It was the Dark-Uber Faerie.

"Yes! Anything!" Bubbles cried without realising what she said.

"I have just what you need!" the Dark-Uber Faerie exclaimed. With a pop, a scroll popped out of nowhere. "Read this. No one has ever refused this offer before!" the Dark-Uber Faerie cried. The scroll said:

Dear Whoever this may concern,

I am Nightshadow. This contract will give you everything you please and want. With this contract, you will receive good luck, riches, and treasures. Also you and your family/friends will have super strength for Battledome. If you want this deal, sign below.

Sincerely,

Nightshadow

"This is great, Nightshadow! I have one question though! What's catch?" Bubbles asked.

"For everything you want, you must give me your soul!" Nightshadow replied.

Hmmmm.... I want my family to be rich but I don't want to lose my soul. If this will give my family a better life to live in, then I'll go for it, Bubbles thought.

"Deal!" Bubbles replied.

"Good! Take this lottery ticket. It's the winning one. I knew you would never refuse this offer. If you have any problems, find me in the cave in the forest. Now sign here," said Nightshadow.

After signing the contract, Nightshadow took out a bottle and took Bubbles soul. Suddenly, Bubbles felt very cold inside. Then Nightshadow disappeared.

"Did I make the right choice to give up my soul? I feel so cold when it's 85 degrees out. I better give this to Sydney," said Bubbles as she rushed home.

"SYDNEY! Look what I got!" said Bubbles.

"Bubbles why weren't you at school! The school called me at work and told me you weren't there! You know how much my boss hates it when her workers take a break when they aren't suppose to!" Sydney cried.

"Come on. We have to go to the lottery booth. I bought this ticket with my pocket money to see if we win. I just have to know if these are lucky numbers!" Bubbles lied.

"All right but when we get home your playtime is cut off," said Sydney.

At the lottery booth, everyone was waiting for the lucky numbers. "The numbers are 4,26,15,8,5, and 10," said the speaker.

"Yes! We hit the Jackpot!" Sydney exclaimed. Bubbles was happy too, but she didn't feel happy. I feel so plain, Bubbles thought. Later that day, Sydney paid the rent and bought a new house.

"Pets, you are going to LOVE this house. It's big and it's on a private street," said Sydney.

When they got to their new house, everyone couldn't stop admiring it.

"Our new address is 123 Fake Street," Sydney announced.

"Why is it called that?" Cheeka asked.

"I guess it will keep people away from a private street," Atlanta replied.

"It's cold in here. Can we close the window?" Bubbles asked.

"Are you okay? It's 84 degrees out. You look kinda sick," Cheeka replied suspiciously.

"I am just fine. I guess the heat is turned on. I think you are the one who looks sick!" Bubbles cried.

Bubbles is acting very strange, Cheeka thought.

"Let's watch some cartoons," said Atlanta. They began watching Neosleuths.

"Hahahahha! The joke was funny. Why aren't you laughing? Don't you think the joke 'Why did the baseball player get arrested? Because he stole the base' was funny?" Cheeka replied.

"Nope. It wasn't a good one," Bubbles lied. I wish I could laugh, but I just feel icy cold inside, Bubbles thought.

"Let's go swimming," Atlanta suggested.

Outside in the pool, Cheeka and Atlanta were having fun swimming.

"Come join us," said Cheeka.

"I guess so," Bubbles moaned.

When she jumped in, she felt like a frozen ice cube.

"Ahhhhhh! It's sooo freezing!" Bubbbles screamed and ran out.

"I'll be back," said Cheeka as she raced after Bubbles.

"Hey Bubbles. Is there something up?" Cheeka questioned.

"Okay, I give up. I traded me soul in for us to be rich again. So now I feel plain, dull, and cold inside," Bubbles replied.

"Who did you make these trade with?" Cheeka asked.

"Nightshadow the Dark-Uber Faerie," Bubbles replied. "We should go to her and demand to get your soul back," said Cheeka.

"Then let's go to the cave in the forest. She told me that I could find her there. Lucky for us. We are pretty strong so we don't need to bring loads of weapons in case we run into trouble," Bubbles replied.

When they finally reached the cave. Many Dark Faeries gave the a glare.

"I have been expecting you Bubbles," Nightshadow replied.

"I want my soul back!" Bubbles shouted.

"Hahahaha! Many pets wished their soul back and never got it. They fought to get it back. You'll have to fight me," said Nightshadow.

"I'll fight you!" Cheeka accepted.

"If you win, I give your soul back," said Nightshadow.

"If I lose then?" Cheeka asked.

"Bubbles will stay here as my slave," Nightshadow replied.

"Deal!" said Cheeka. The battle began.

Cheeka used her Small metal shield and Improved lightening beam at Nightshadow. Then Cheeka used the Black frost cannon. But Nightshadow melted the frost. I didn't know Nightshadow can do that, Bubbles thought.

"Hahaha! Child's play!" Nightshadow boomed.

Then Nightshadow used her wand and shot out a powerful blast of aura. "Ahhhh!" Cheeka shouted.

"I WIN! Bubbles is my slave now. Bring her to the dungeon for now!" said Nightshadow.

Cheeka ran as fast as her little feet can carry her. Then she bumped into Bubbles' friends.

"Help! Bubbles is in danger!" Cheeka cried.

"Let's heal you first," said Sea_Otter the Tuskaninny as he healed her.

Then Cheeka told them the whole story.

"We must form a plan," said Shooting_Star the stared Shoyru.

They all started to draw a plan out. Back at the Dark Faerie's Cave, Bubbles was thrown into a dungeon.

"Hello. I am soooo glad I have company. By the way I am Fireblaze the Fire-Uber Faerie," said Fireblaze.

"I am Bubbles. How did you get here?" Bubbles asked.

"Nightshadow tricked me into coming here. She stole my powers. I am stuck in here for months already," said Fireblaze.

"So that is how she melted the frost," Bubbles gasped and began telling her story.

"Come with us you two. Your friends are here," a Dark Faerie growled.

Outside in Nightshadow's battlefield, stood Bubbles' friends.

"Ready to lose again?" Nightshadow snickered.

"No! This time we all fight. If we win, give us back Bubbles," Cheeka bargained.

"And Fireblaze!" Bubbles shouted.

"Yeah and Fireblaze!" Chialla the blue Chia shouted.

"We just have to stick to our plan," said Kit the red Aisha.

"Let the battle begin!" Nightshadow shouted.

Shooting_Star zoomed into action. She flew in super speed and stole Nightshadow's wand.

"Hahaha! Powerless without your wand huh? If you want it come up here to get it!" Shooting _star taunted as she flew high up.

"Aren't you forgetting that I have wings too," Nightshadow replied as she flew up.

"Leave Shooting_Star alone!" Kit cried as he caught Nightshadow's gown.

"Get away," said Nightshadow as kick Kit away. But secretly Kit stole Fireblaze wand for Nightshadow and gave it to Fireblaze.

"Just give me some time to get my powers working again," said Fireblaze.

"Don't worry we'll handle it," said Kit.

"Hey Nightshadow! Are you looking for this?" Sea_otter asked as he showed Nightshadow the wand.

"Give it to me!" Nightshadow shouted.

"Okie Dokie," Sea_otter replied and tossed it to her.

"Take this. You annoying Shoyru," said Nightshadow as she shot something out of her wand. Out came water.

"Hahaha! That tickles!" Shooting_star laughed.

"That's enough Nightshadow!" Fireblaze shouted as she shot out sleep powder.

"Thanks guys. I never doubted you!" said Bubbles joyfully.

"Here is your soul and the contract is completely destroyed," said Fireblaze as she returned Bubbles soul.

"Thank you pets! I know some of you are poor. Good luck is on the way. Take these lottery tickets. As for you Bubbles, you get to keep everything you have right now and the 123 Fake Street address is changed to 248 Good Luck Street. I'll never forget this," said Fireblaze and she disappeared.

The pets went home and told their owners what happened. Bubbles lived happily ever after and never made a bad choice again.
