Shadow in the Kadoatery

"Late into the night one moonless autumn evening, long past when most Neopets had gone to bed, Crybaby sat awake. Of course Crybaby was no Neopet, but a Kadoatie, with fur so white it practically shone in the darkness, and large, observant eyes..."

"A Missing Piece" by 77thbigby
Skip awoke with a start. For a moment, he lay there, wondering what had woken him. Then he heard it: a hoarse cough. He rolled out of bed, casting his Doglefox, Wes a curious look. His Doglefox was just waking up himself and he looked fine. He rose to his feet and crossed the hall to his best friend’s room. He was about to knock when he heard the cough come again. He opened the door startled to see Russ still in bed. That never happened! Russ looked worse than Skip had ever seen. The Red Kyrii’s brown eyes were bright with fever, his normally well-groomed mane was a mess and his nose dripped. “Russ!” Skip exclaimed in alarm, hurrying to his best friend’s side. “You need to see a doctor!” “I’m fi-,” Russ began before coughing again. “You are not fine!” “I have to be fine. Its harvest time. I have to get to work,” Russ said, voice stuffy. “Not like this!” Skip argued. “The Bancrofts will have to manage without you. I’m calling the doctor.” The Burlap Ixi headed for the door but paused to look back. “Stay in bed!” “Skip, wait!” Russ called weakly but Skip was already headed for the phone. Skip was about to pick up the phone when he realized that he didn’t actually know the number to call the doctor. He walked back down the hall to Russ’ room, giving his best friend a sheepish look. Sick as he was, Russ’ eyes gleamed with humour.
