The Missing Usuki Mystery

It was that time of the year when Usukicon spread across Neopia Central. Excitement was beaming all over Neopia as everyone prepared for the big event. Collectors would polish their display shelves. Traders organised their rarest items, and Neopians counted the days until the biggest celebration of Usukis in all of Neopia.

"From One Usuki Fan to Another" by xakemii
Stella hopped from paw to paw as she waited impatiently outside the Usukiland shop. She, like so many hardcore Usuki fans, had been camped out all night waiting for it to open. It was, after all, a very special day. It was finally Usukicon! And while Stella would spend the whole day trekking around Neopia and taking part in the various Usukicon events, she always started her favourite day of the year in the same way: at the Usukiland shop battling it out in order to try and purchase all the newest Usuki goodies. It was, truthfully, quite a stressful experience—clambouring over Acaras and Jetsams alike in a desperate attempt to secure the most prized and limited items. One year, she had even been clipped by a Grarrl’s toenail as the Grarrl, feet clad only in flimsy sandals, had tripped over Stella’s paw. She couldn’t complain too much, though. Just the year before, she had been pushing about in the frantic crowd and gotten the better part of a Usul’s tail in her mouth. She wasn’t sure who had been more mortified when she had promptly gagged and slobbered all over it—her or the Usul. Still, there was something about the whole ordeal that Stella loved. She loved being surrounded by all fellow fans in the queue, all forgoing a good night’s rest in order to try and be one of the very first to enter the store. She loved rushing through the store doors when the apprehensive storekeeper, a usually cheery Blumaroo, opened the doors.
