Breaking News from the Neovision Newsroom

     Hovri Sweet: We interrupt your boring day to bring you this special report: The Discarded Magical Blue Grundo Plushie of Prosperity has been stolen!

     Tobias Sigmir: Is nothing sacred anymore Hovri? The Discarded Magical Blue Grundo Plushie of Prosperity has hung from a tree in Faerieland ever since its crash to the ground eleven years ago. Prior to that, it laid on a pillow of clouds in Faerieland in the sky. No one knows the origins of this sad little toy, though there were once rumours that they had something to do with the Guildmasters Dinner.

     Hovri Sweet: The abandoned plushie who brings not only prosperity but also sadness to Neopets on their treks through Faerieland will be sorely missed. Anyone with information on their whereabouts or even a slight suspicion or gut feeling on who may have stolen them should report to TNT immediately.

     Tobias Sigmir: Well you know it’s serious now Hovri when mysterious but powerful TNT is involved. We now go live to Faerieland where Skippi Snips is about to interview the faerie Marina of the Healing Springs about this sad situation.

     In Faerieland

     Skippi: Thank you Tobias. I’m here in Faerieland with the faerie Marina, where it has just been discovered that The Magical Blue Grundo Plushie of Prosperity has been stolen. Marina – who first discovered that The Magical Blue Grundo Plushie of Prosperity was missing?

     Marina: Well Skippi, I had just started working up a refresher spell for Granny Hopbobbin when Babolino came running in, screaming that our precious plushie was gone. There was such a commotion here at the Healing Springs while ‘pets from all around the globe rushed out to see for themselves.

     Skippi: What was your personal reaction Marina? Did you go see for yourself?

     Marina: Of course not! I was concerned of course but I can not leave my post for anything except the command of Queen Fyora. Besides, I’m no mere Neopet rushing out to grab some gossip ~sniffs~ Now, I really must return to Granny. Goodbye!

     Skippi: um… OK… Thank you Marina! OH – look! there’s Babolino! Let’s see what they have to say about the situation.

     Back at the News Room

     Hovri: Thank you Skippi, we’ll return to live coverage in Faerieland shortly. First, we’ll give you a little background information on the famous ex-yooyuball player.

     Tobias: That’s right Hovri, Babolino played for Team Faerieland in the annual Altador Cup for five years. They were the starting left forward during their yooyuball career. They came in with a plaster on their head and a crooked grin on their face. They retired after Altador Cup five and the fall of Faerieland and was replaced by Elbin Kroe who previously played for Terror Mountain and Tyrannia.

     Hovri: Thank you Tobias. We now return live to Faerieland where Skippi Snips has a chance to speak with Babolino about this distressing situation.

     Live in Faerieland

     Skippi: Thank you Hovri. I am here in Faerieland with retired yooyuball player Babolino, who was the first to discover that The Discarded Magical Blue Grundo Plushie of Prosperity had gone missing. Perhaps you’d like to tell our audience what happened, Babolino?

     Babolino: Well, I was out for my daily stroll through Faerieland. I like to spin the Wheel of Excitement, watch the poogle races and of course visit TDMBGPoP to see what might happen. I collect plushies you know, and for some reason I have never been able to get an Ice Faerie Chia Plushie from our little blue buddy. Anyway, I wasn’t paying much attention. I was staring at the sky, dreaming of the days among the clouds when I stopped and realized nothing had happened. This isn’t entirely unusual of course, sometimes TDMBGPoP doesn’t react to my presence, but as I went to leave I noticed that TDMBGPoP wasn’t even there! I ran straight to the Healing Springs to spread the news.

     Skippi: Did you happen to see anyone else in the area before your startling discovery?

     Babolino: No, like I said, I had been staring at the sky.

     Skippi: Well there you have it, The Discarded Magical Blue Grundo Plushie of Prosperity or TDMBGPoP as some call them, is missing and so far there are no clues as to what may have happened or who may have taken them. Back to you Hovri.

     Back in the Newsroom

     Hovri: Thank you Skippi. You know Tobias, there has been some speculation in the last ten minutes since this shocking theft was detected that Babolino themself may be the thief.

     Tobias: Well Hovri, let’s hope that isn’t the case. Though, they did mention their extensive plushie collection and no one else was apparently around AND …. what’s that? Wait a moment, I’m just receiving information that The Discarded Magical Blue Grundo Plushie of Prosperity has been found! – Let's go back to Skippi, live in Faerieland.

     Live in Faerieland

     Skippi: Yes Tobias, I’m here in Faerieland with Granny Hopbobbin, who appears to have found what, for the past 15 minutes or so, there has been massive concern about; TDMBGPoP. Granny – can you tell us where you found our precious sad friend?

     Granny: Of course I can! I’m not senile. Anyway, I was on my way to the Healing Springs for a little pick-me-up this morning and I happened to notice TDMBGPoP was looking a bit shabbier than usual. So I popped them in my bag, intending to take them home and patch them up a little. Who knew a little good intention could cause such a fuss! You should all be ashamed of yourselves, creating such a ruckus and getting all of Neopia concerned without so much as a bit of a ground search in the area. I tell you, in my day…

     Cuts back to newsroom

     Hovri: Er, thank you Granny. Well, there you have it ‘pets. The Discarded Magical Blue Grundo Plushie of Prosperity has been safely returned to their tree limb for all to visit.

     Tobias: I’m sure we’re all quite happy this didn’t turn out far worse, Hovri. Join us later today when we will be sampling some delicacies from the Haunted Woods. We’ll be sure to let you know if they’re a trick, or a treat. Bye for now!
