"A Happy New Year" by ningkov1
”Happy New Year! This is going to be my year!” The wide-eyed Quiggle shouted out into the darkness just as an egg almost fell onto his head. He thankfully caught it just in the nick of time and noticed it was actually a Baby Pteri. He looked up and saw another Pteri bowing its head in apology and flying down to him in a panic. “You saved my baby! I'm so sorry! He loves rolling around! Thank you!” He handed the egg back to his grateful mother and waved as she carefully flew away. It's okay, he thought to himself cheerfully. This would definitely be a great and lucky year for him, unlike the previous year, and the year before that; also, the year before that; well, every single year of his life. He hugged his friends at the party and looked at the confetti and fireworks swirling around in the sky. He took a sip of his drink, then promptly spit it out. A wet and scared-looking Mootix looked up at him and smiled weakly. “Sorry! I fell in your drink and couldn't get out! Thank you for not drinking me!” As the Mootix slowly moved across the table, Alfred took a deep breath and reminded himself to stay positive. He bid his friends goodbye and headed home in the darkness, thinking of all the things he wanted to try this year. He wanted to read more books and get that trophy; he wanted to finally travel to Mystery Island, where his parents came from; he wanted to learn how to cook; and he wanted to learn how to play Gormball. He skipped happily in the darkness until he bumped into a Grey Yurble sitting in the middle of the sidewalk.
