"Whoa! What the heck!" he said shocked.
"It's just Moon. Just fix the door," I ordered
him. Moon and I began to head out the back.
"Colbolt, I think I'm about to grow again,"
Moon warned. She tried to get through the door but she got stuck in the middle.
I tried to push from behind her as she pawed her way forward from the outside.
I could hear the wooden frame around the door begin to crack as Moon grew.
"Come on Moon! Suck it in!" I groaned and yelled
to her. Suddenly, she popped through the door and went crashing into the backyard.
I ran out to her as she stood up. I took noticed I was as big as one of her
claws. She shook her head and looked down at me.
"I'm fine Colbolt. But how are going to stop
me from growing?" she asked worried.
"What were the last few things you did before
you began to grow?" I asked her.
"Well, I gave Khell a video game, watched TV,
drank some Neocola, and watched TV again. After that I began to grow," she explained.
"Okay,. Maylas! Come on! We're going over to
Moon's quickly!" I yelled inside. Maylas came running out.
"Lets go," I said. I looked at Moon. "Just lay
low and keep yourself as small as possible," I told her. She nodded sadly. Maylas
and I took off.

Khell was sitting in his room still playing his game. He never thought of
the growing potion at all. He hadn't even thought off blinking as he played
his game.
"Take this Knox!" he shouted at the TV and pressed
the buttons. Flashing words came up saying, "You Win! Would you like to save?"
All Khell had to do was press one button and he would have been the first neopet
ever to beat that game in one day. But back at my place, Moon had another growth
spurt, a big one. Her paws crashed threw the trees as her size grew. A Skeith
and a Uni who were walking by noticed the giant Lupe. They both shouted in fear
and went to tell the police. Moon's size continued to grow until she broke the
power lines.
The lights went out all down Guru Lane. Khell
was just a second before saving his game as the power went out. He stared at
the black screen with his dried eyes.
"Noooo!"
***
Maylas and I ran quickly into the house. The power was out everywhere on Guru
Lane. That telling me Moon had gotten bigger. Time was running out.
"Maylas, you check the fridge for the bottle
of Neocola. If its not there, check the trash. I'm going to check on Khell."
I ran upstairs to Khell's room. I found him
staring blankly at a TV screen.
"Khell?" I touched his shoulder. Khell slowly
turned around showing me his unblinked, staring eyes.
"Whoa!" I jumped back startled at Khell's look.
Finally, after long hours, Khell blinked his eyes.
"I was so close! I almost beat my game!" He
grabbed me and began to shake me wildly.
"Khell! Get a hold of yourself!" I broke from
his grip and slapped him across the muzzle. He rubbed it slowly, hurt.
"Sorry, but Moon is in trouble. Some how she's
growing larger by the second. Do you know anything?" I asked. Khell scratched
his head awhile.
"Well, I did create a growing potion and put
it in a Neocola bottle," he said.
"Why did you make a growing potion?" I asked
staring him down.
"Well, that gang of Neopets called me a pup.
And I wanted to get back at them. So when I saw the magic shop and found the
book telling me how to make the potion, I knew I could get back at them," Khell
said sadly. He twisted his paw on the floor.
"Well Khell, we took care of them now. But you
need to tell me where the book is. Moon doesn't have much time left," I explained
quickly. Khell lifted up a floor board and revealed the book.
Good, now show me the page with the potion,"
I asked him. Khell did. I skimmed over the page and looked for the antidote.
"There we go. Khell, go and get these ingredients,"
I told him. Khell did. In a matter of a few minutes, Khell and I made the cure.
"Now lets get Maylas and get back to Moon."
We ran down the stairs and left.
