"Never Too Grumpy for the Holiday Spirit" by surging
The sun rose over the neighbourhood. Like clockwork the young Neopets of all species excitedly jumped out of bed to wake up their parents to see what gifts were under the tree. Sleepy parents made their coffee as they obliged their progeny, basking in the warmth of their happiness on what was otherwise a cold day. “Ugh,” sneered Theodor, a grumpy Ruki who lived at the end of the road, as he climbed out of bed and snapped the curtains shut. He was a loner by most standards. He hung out with his beloved Petpet Max the White Doglefox and not too many others. Although he preferred it that way, certain days of the year were harder than others. His parents were not around and he had been an only child. Not really any friends either. Others always either pitied him or feared him; he couldn’t always tell which of the two were worse, but as long as it kept them away from him it didn’t matter either way. He looked down at Max sleeping peacefully in his bed, feet kicking on occasion as if he were trying to run. Maybe in his dream he was running. Theodor used to have dreams. He wanted to run a bakery. But that never happened, for not everything is meant to be no matter how hard...
