"A Coconut JubJub Finds Meaning on Mystery Island" by sockies
The sand felt soft under her feet, yet not as soft as what she had previously imagined. At least the view was mesmerising. Yes, there was something captivating about the seemingly endless water that stretched out to touch the horizon. Kiki had never seen anything like it and could only imagine what sorts of things lived in the water. She had heard about Maraqua and Maraquan Neopets, but she had never seen a Maraquan Neopet or met anybody who had been to Maraqua. "If only I could dive," she thought. Diving underwater and swimming to Maraqua seemed like a plausible idea for the average Neopet, but not for a Coconut JubJub like Kiki. Growing up, Kiki had often found that being a coconut has its advantages and disadvantages. One of the disadvantages is that it is impossible to dive underwater. Coconuts are less dense than water, so no matter how hard you kick, you always float to the top. She walked up to where the waves hit the beach and let the water tickle her feet. "Maybe someday I can afford a submarine and visit Maraqua," she thought. Kiki suddenly realised that she had been staring at the water for a few minutes. She blinked her eyes away from the water and turned around to walk back up the sandy beach. She needed to stop thinking about Maraqua and focus. She had come to Mystery Island for a reason. Specifically, Kiki was trying to connect with her past and discover herself. Kiki had moved to Tyrannia at a really young age and did not remember anything about her first few years of life on Mystery Island. As much as she did not mind living in Tyrannia, she had never felt like she fully fit in there. On a spontaneous decision, she nearly spent all her Neopoints on a ticket to Mystery Island, the land of coconuts.
