"The Paintbrush Princess" by winter_pony4
One day in Neopia Central…
A Chokato Kiko and a Pineapple Chia were sitting at a makeshift stand on a street corner near the Gift Shop. The Kiko was surrounded by several wood and stone carvings while the Chia was sitting on a pile of books, writing furiously on a notepad.
The Kiko sighed. “I don't know, Sativica. We haven't sold anything for a few weeks. At this rate, we're going to have to get our meals from the Soup Kitchen.”
“Well, we can always count on the Soup Faerie’s hospitality. We aren't exactly strangers to her establishment, Alude...” Sativica quipped. “Not even the Neopian Times has responded to my submissions. I do believe it's going to be one of those months. 'Tis difficult to be a Neopet of craft.” he huffed, all without looking up from his work.
Alude picked up a stone figure in the shape of a faerie and sighed. “Maybe people just don't appreciate art anymore.”
“The market on books seem to have plunged lately, as well. Not nearly as profitable as before.” Sativica added.
Alude, after some thought, got up. “Come on, let's head over to the Money Tree so we can get some money for something to eat.”
“The both of us? Who will watch over our inventory?”
“Just leave it. If nobody wants these, then they won't steal them.” Alude said, resigned.
“Alude, you were never one to mope around.”
“But what can we do? We need to eat and have shelter like anybody else. If we can't manage that, then what happens to us?”

 Mayor May Not
"You see no issue in the fact that we've continuously elected him as Mayor despite not knowing his name? What if he's a Sway plant or something?" Jacob said. "I'm going to the Arcanium. They have a news archive."
