	Nonlinear Companions: Dawn: Part Seven As we approached the Happy Valley exit of the Ice caves, I could see the snow violently swirling round in little concentric circles. The sky had become a deep grey and the few neopets that were outside, were being tossed about like ragdolls in the wind. Also by ukases by _starryeyedsurprise_
	One Way Out: Part Four It took some begging and pleading, but Merida convinced Chosek to let Akali come with them. “He helped me all this way. It would be rude not to let him tag along. The astroblade was his, anyway. You have him to thank for finding it.” by the_wingless_unknown
	Southward Bound: Part Two "I’ve always heard rumours that he’d had a secret base at the South Pole, but I never dreamed they were real!” said Osa. “This is not good. There’s no way we could take on a whole Sloth base by ourselves!” said Brynn. by kaioti

"Like, Totally Goth" by downrightdude
Scary place her hands on her hips. “What’s your point?” “Those who place value on material goods have destroyed the spirit of Christmas,” said Gerald. (Well your atrocious attire is destroying my eyesight), Scary thought. Despite the clothing, however, there was something about Gerald she couldn't help but feel connected to. “So...what are you interested in? Music?” Gerald nodded. “Have you heard the newest Jazzmosis album? It rocks.” “You like Jazzmosis too?” Scary gasped. “No way!

Despite his distaste for boy bands, Gerald felt like somebody she could bind with and actually (enjoy) the company of, too. (Maybe this n00b isn’t as bad as I thought,) Scary mused. (He definitely has more interesting taste than Sparkles!)

“SLOTH! SLOTH! SLOTH!” the deformed Grundos chanted. “As you can see.. The Space Faerie can no longer protect Neopia as she is a little under the weather. So from now on I am the ruler of the Neopian universe,” Sloth said. Without any further word he dropped the mic and walked out.

So You Lost it All On the Wheel of Extravagance
All you wanted was some exotic fruits or bread to spice up dinner; one minute you’re making a beeline for Qasalan Delights, telling yourself, out loud, over and over, this time he isn’t going to get you - and the very next thing you know, you’re letting go of the side of the wheel, chanting BIG MONEY BIG MONEY as it spins before you, that darn Tonu laughing at your naivete as he greedily counts a bag full of your hard-earned neopoints, more than you should even be carrying in the first place.
