"Bootcamp for Neopets" by absdafabs
As Finn and I approached the Training Academy gates I once again questioned the sanity of the decision to do this. ‘Get Fit Bootcamp’ the flyer posted through the door to my Neohome had exclaimed. Looking down at myself and my pet, I disputed the necessity of this. I mean sure we weren’t exactly the picture of health, and maybe we were slightly overly fond of donuts, yet this seemed a little drastic. Still, the over-the-top encouragement we had received from my other neopets appeared to suggest otherwise. I knocked hard on the wooden door to the compound. A slat moved across and two beady eyes glared at us from behind the door. “Hello there, we’re here for the boot camp? Our names are Abs and Finn.” I called out to the ghostly eyes. The slat shut and the door creaked open; weirdly, there was not a soul to be seen inside. Glancing at each other, Finn and I both took a deep breath before walking forward into the deserted courtyard.
