"The Quiggle’s Quest" by quigglebaby
Quarkley the Quiggle was no cheat. Sure he liked to play Cheat, and of course he sometimes lied about which cards he was playing. That was the nature of the game, wasn’t it? Everyone does that. And yes, sometimes when playing Gormball he would hold onto it for a few extra seconds so that it was sure to explode on the next person who caught it. It wasn’t his fault they couldn’t throw it fast enough. But Quarkley was not a cheater. Ask anyone, especially that nice young Quiggle Leeroy who runs the Coconut Shy. He would tell you and then make sure you were entertained with a completely fair game in which you were sure to win a rare prize. In fact, Quarkley himself had won a coconut once. Plenty of people had. He wasn’t so sure why everyone thought it was rigged when it was very clear it wasn’t. Of course you wouldn’t win every time. But that didn’t stop those around him from saying that all Quiggles were awful neopets with no sense of morality.
