"Robot Petpets to the Rescue" by maddie_bangz
“I’m telling you, something weird is going on.” It was a cold and ominous night on the Virtupets Space Station. Silence surrounded the local businesses as the Grundos slept peacefully, unaware of the situation unfolding around them. Within the Robo-Petpet Shop, two unassuming Petpets were wide awake, conversing quietly so that none of the other Petpets around them would wake up. The room was dark aside from some flickering lights in the back rooms, casting the space in an eerie glow. “Tell me everything.” Flash the Wheelie Bot whispered urgently, pulling his friend Oscar, a GX-4 Oscillabot, closer to him in a huddle. Most of the Grundos at the Space Station didn’t understand the beeping sounds robotic Petpets use to communicate, but Flash didn’t want to take any chances. “Well, do you remember the Zoomik that was bought last week? I heard through the Petpet network that his Neopet took him to the Grundo Cafe yesterday. His Neopet didn’t seem to notice, but there was something wrong with Gargarox.” “What do you mean?” “Well…” Oscar paused in thought. “He said he seemed stiffer, almost… robotic, I guess.” Flash beeped out a laugh. Oscar shushed him angrily. “It’s not funny! He said Gargarox was talking funny too. And he swore he heard him beep when nobody else was looking! This is serious Flash.” “That’s just Gargarox, Oscar. He’s a… unique Grundo, you could say. What you’re telling me just doesn’t make any sense.” Steam blew out of the Oscillabot’s antennae in frustration. “It’s not just Gargarox! Other Grundos are acting funny. If you don’t believe me, I can show you.” Oscar whispered intensely. The two Petpets slowly looked around the room, listening to the soft beeping snores of the other Petpets.
