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.

"An Unusul Usuki Doll" by hfallyn
Willow took a steadying breath as she punched her friend’s phone number into her Slorgeous Flip Phone and raised it to her ear. The familiar, taunting ringing began. Where was she? It wasn’t like Una to be late and certainly not like her to miss calls. The friends bought their tickets for Usukicon months ago. They’d dreamed of attending together since they were little girls playing Usuki dolls at sleepovers. Now, all grown up, they were mere minutes from achieving that dream. They’d made their own shirts for the convention featuring collages of their favourite dolls and splurged on matching, purple and green Magical Hair Usuki wigs. They’d planned to camp out overnight together in hopes of being some of the first Neopets let into Usukiland for the big event. The Disco Wocky sighed as she left her umpteenth voicemail before following up with a quick text. Something had to be wrong. Una would never miss this event. Perhaps she should leave and go to her friend’s house; but, if she did that, she’d lose their spot in line. A tap on the shoulder interrupted Willow’s racing thoughts. The Wocky looked up from her phone to see an impatient Shoyru behind her nodding ahead. Willow spun around to see the line had inched closer to the entrance as Usuki fans crowded together in anticipation. The doors would soon open, and her Rainbow Usul friend was nowhere to be found. Willow wiped her sweaty palms on her jeans.
