	Nonlinear Companions: Dawn: Part Seven As we approached the Happy Valley exit of the Ice caves, I could see the snow violently swirling round in little concentric circles. The sky had become a deep grey and the few neopets that were outside, were being tossed about like ragdolls in the wind. Also by ukases by _starryeyedsurprise_
	One Way Out: Part Four It took some begging and pleading, but Merida convinced Chosek to let Akali come with them. “He helped me all this way. It would be rude not to let him tag along. The astroblade was his, anyway. You have him to thank for finding it.” by the_wingless_unknown
	Southward Bound: Part Two "I’ve always heard rumours that he’d had a secret base at the South Pole, but I never dreamed they were real!” said Osa. “This is not good. There’s no way we could take on a whole Sloth base by ourselves!” said Brynn. by kaioti

"Like, Totally Goth" by downrightdude
Scary place her hands on her hips. “What’s your point?” “Those who place value on material goods have destroyed the spirit of Christmas,” said Gerald. (Well your atrocious attire is destroying my eyesight), Scary thought. Despite the clothing, however, there was something about Gerald she couldn't help but feel connected to. “So...what are you interested in? Music?” Gerald nodded. “Have you heard the newest Jazzmosis album? It rocks.” “You like Jazzmosis too?” Scary gasped. “No way! All my other wannabe friends prefer Yes Boy Ice Cream over Jazzmosis–though I personally like them both.” “At least Jazzmosis write their own songs,” Gerald countered. “Those boy band Shoyrus can’t even play instruments.” The longer she and Gerald talked–discussing music genres and their hatred for the color pink–the closer Scary felt towards this ‘Goth dude’. Despite his distaste for boy bands, Gerald felt like somebody she could bind with and actually (enjoy) the company of, too. (Maybe this n00b isn’t as bad as I thought,) Scary mused. (He definitely has more interesting taste than Sparkles!)

Balthazar Reborn
As soon as his breaths had turned into the gentle wheezes of dreamers, I knew it was time. The moon bore witness to my fleeting figure, noting without emotion my attempts to keep as quiet as I could as I tiptoed out of the room. It saw me find what I was looking for, and offered a handful of moonbeams to aid my inspections. I accepted them, though they turned out to be unnecessary. I’d already known it’d be perfect.

Usuki Singing Stars #37: Like, Totally Goth
\Scary turned to stare at Gerald. The Aisha was wearing a black t-shirt with black jeans, blacks and white sneakers, and a red beanie. He looked depressed and (totally) boring, too. “You honestly think I can relate to that freak?” Scary gasped. “How in Neopia can I befriend something who wears black eye shadow??”
