"Breaking Illusions" by candylandtheonomy
Illusen Faerie Doll, Illusen Snowglobe, Illusen Kite, Cehani’s room was brimming with all the Illusen items under the Neopian sun. It was an obsession (though Cehani preferred the term: hobby). Surprisingly, though, Cehani had never met Illusen. Never meet your heroes. This phrase she had heard stuck with her. Not only that, but she had met a cute Ixi named Lisa in the Illusen fan club who had had a terrible experience with Illusen. Like Cehani the Xweetok, the Ixi Lisa was also plushie coloured, so the two had instantly bonded at the monthly meet the fan club held. During the meeting two months prior, Lisa came in looking unusually low, and fittingly she had chosen to wear the Feeling Grey Rain Cloud. “She’s terrible. I have to quit this club!” Lisa had exclaimed in a huff. “What happened?” Anthony the Red Usul questioned. But Lisa refused to respond, turning on her heels and exiting in a dramatic fashion. Other members of the club had tried to contact her after for answers, but Lisa refused to respond to any inquiries. Cehani’s mind danced with the possibilities of what had happened to Lisa, yet she was scared to reach out. If Lisa refused to respond, like she had to the others, it would cement the death of the friendship they had grown. Cehani’s takeaway was simply that she must not meet Illusen. She did not want the possibility of ruining her hobby (aka obsession). So it was with much alarm the day Cehani faced a decision that would change her life
