	Triccity's Travels: Mystery Island I wasn’t sure how far I travelled or for how long before I heard something big heading my way. I couldn’t hide and I doubted running would help since I didn’t know how fast the thing was moving. by 77thbigby
	The Secret to Apple Bobbing Ladies, gentlemen, and gentlefolks, I am nothing if not an honest man…” Vandebart intones, committing the words to memory as he enters the Soapbox. by dragonair23
	Magnum Imperium: The Candidate However, there was energy, a magical current that flowed throughout. It was wild and dangerous. It was also unstable; it’s temperature would soar to scorching heights one moment and plummet to frosty depths the next. by terpsichorean_writer
	Wish-Granting When it came time for the group to retire for the night, the Chia was among the weariest Neopets in camp, except for perhaps Skyleur herself, and for a moment Skyleur was worried that the Chia would insist on giving up her bed. by phadalusfish
