How Not to Attach the Pebble: A Guide from Experience
The Advent Calendar is one of the most anticipated events in Neopia. This year Neopians knew Day 7 would be special. The line to the Advent Calendar stretched all the way around the frozen lake as pets camped out to have the first chance at some new goodies. As the clock struck midnight a wave of excitement flew through the crowd. What was the prize? None other than our new friend and little fella, the Pebble. His small smile instantly charmed Neopia. I even hear the Snowager cracked open an eye to see what all the fuss was about before sneaking a few into his hoard for safekeeping. The Pebble is a Petpetpet. For those who don’t know, Petpetpets like to attach themselves to a Petpet they trust to take care of them. How do you get the Pebble to attach? Well, I’m glad you asked. Because I can tell you from experience, what not to do (and what eventually worked) to make your little guy comfortable enough to join you on your adventures. The Lab Ray Our first stop after the Advent Calendar was the lab ray, which in hindsight might not have been the best introduction to Neopia. Arabica Bean the Wocky desperately wants to become burlap to match her favourite coffee bags so we make sure to swing by every day. Even though Arabica knows what’s coming, the lab ray is still pretty scary. To help calm her nerves, she chatted away to the Pebble about how cool the lab ray was. When it was time to zap, the Pebble excitedly peaked out only to catch a blinding flash of light as he narrowly missed being zapped himself!
