Uni Day Special

The Scintillating Uni
by ybezinha

A noble curve of equine grace,
A polished horn, a pretty face.
With wings of silk and spirit bold,
A story of grandeur yet to be told.

The sun has barely touched the sky,
Before the Uni catches its eye.
In mirrors, ponds, and silver glass,
They watch the morning shadows pass.

Majestic and proud, though a little bit vain,
They’ll fly through the clouds and dance through the rain
A Uni is ready to join you today.
So bow to the beauty, the grace, and the flair
Just please, for the love of Fyora, don't touch the hair.

The Year of the Nightsteed
by chihuahua__89

People of Qasala:
Happy New Year- the Year of the Nightsteed!
Maybe this year will be the one you are freed,
From the curse that has held you for so long,
With bandages and burning eyes so wrong. 
Yes, happy new year with wishes so merry!
As night descends, we pray not to find you as scary.

The Nightsteed:
The Year of the Nightsteed you say? How silly.
I am 200-years-old and you all look like fillies. 
Listen closely so I can make this crystal clear-
Every day is my day and every year is my year, 
Who wouldn’t want to walk on fire? 
Who wouldn’t have King Jazan as his sire? 
I had my chance when the curse was first broken,
But when it comes to myself I’ve always been outspoken. 
Blue Uni by day and The Nightsteed by night,
I embrace my true form in the moonlight.

The Proud Maraquan Charger
by firefoxtails

The Maraquan Charger ranks among Maraqua's elite.
Defeating this majestic creature is no easy feat.
Colored deep ocean blue it's very easy to spot.
Donned with Maractite armour to battle it will trot.

Its horn glows brightly illuminating the right way.
And its horn conjures magic when it enters the fray.
No one dares to face its relentless head on attack.
Those who underestimate it are taken aback.

In fact this Uni isn't just a one trick pony.
It can help allies retreat from the pirate crony.
Hop onto its saddle and hold on tight to its reins.
Signalling your speedy escape is all that remains.

At the end of the battle this proud Uni must rest.
It holds its head high knowing it did its very best.
King Kelpbeard gives praise and announces to all his men,
The great Maraquan Charger is a ten out of ten!

On the Wings of Solarin
by sir_serene

There is a Uni of the purest white,
who knows where Faeries once took flight;
A loyal servant of the Wise Old King,
who remembers those skies against his wings-
His tales are ones that will truly excite.

A kind Uni who protects others with care,
when he’s dancing around, through the air;
Like the heroes in the legends of old
it’s a glorious sight for one to behold-
He’ll take you to heights no other would dare.

At Hagan’s request he once took to the skies,
to battle the faerie who dealt in lies;
He flew Roberta miles above the sea.
That most trusted and honourable of all Unis,
answered the call without the promise of prize.

Solarin is a Uni with character rare,
a gentle soul beyond compare;
He soars through clouds on paths unseen
where fantasies weave and wishes gleam-
And if you ask, he may just take you there.

The Pound Uni
by togepwi

At the Neopian Pound
There's a Pink Uni around
Lovely, sweet, and kind
She's the best manager you'll find!

Are you looking to adopt?
There's so many that have been dropped
They are often so scared
But the Uni treats them with such care

So if time permits
You should stay for a bit
She can always use an extra hand
But if not, she'll understand

The Pound Uni is such a sweetheart
Keeping track of everyone and their charts
The job can easily make anyone stressed
She simply tries her best!

Support Your Local Uni Waitress
by drziggs

Under calm ocean, a restaurant elite, 
Advance reservation, for cuisine to eat. 
A Uni will seat you, if you are dressed well, 
At restaurant Kelp, where the most famous dwell. 

A Maraquan waitress, with flowing blue fins, 
She hands you a menu, so you can begin. 
Just make sure, that your pockets are deep, 
The cuisine found at Kelp, tends not to be cheap. 

"What can I get you?", she asks with a smile, 
"Start with a cocktail, and stay for a while. 
For something refreshing, a Twirly Fruit Blend, 
I'll write down the order, to the cooks I'll send." 

Next are the starters, with a salad or soup, 
"Try Angel Hair Salad, a favourite of Lupe's. 
For a dish more local, Salad of Ocean Delight", 
A nice presentation, it's a dish quite the sight. 

With a flourish of menu, orders taken back, 
Iridescent mane shining, uniform of deep black. 
A beautiful Uni, with a shining horn, 
Swims graceful through water, as if airborne. 

I work through main course, a big Ocean Platter, 
Restaurant so busy, hear forks and plates clatter. 
"Room for dessert?"; my diet's death knell, 
I can't resist more: the Triple Chocolate Shell. 

I'm feeling content, 'till I get the bill, 
I'm 60k down!, my account's downhill. 
This Uni is joyful, but my pockets are thwarted, 
"Just don't forget, that tipping is supported!"

The Uni Fashion Show
by therainbowsheep

The runway is sleek and long,
Dotted with glittering lights.
Cameras click away nonstop,
The flash is incredibly bright.

It's the Uni Fashion Show!
There's no time like the present,
For this species to show off -
In the spotlight, Uni are content!

They thrive on attention,
When all eyes are on them.
It's probably from where
Their vain nature stems.

But no one seems to mind,
As Uni strut and strike a pose.
After all, this is how
Fashion shows should go!

First emerges the Candy Uni,
Flaunting her intricate swirl -
Paired with rainbow accents,
She does an impressive twirl!

Next the classic Faerie Uni!
She is beauty, she is grace -
One can tell she knows it too.
Just look at that confidence face.

Perhaps Maractite steals the show,
All sparkling azure and teal.
She's so shiny and gorgeous,
She hardly appears to be real!

For hours, the show continues:
Oil Paint, Royalgirl, and Plushie!
Really as fashion show attendees,
To witness these Uni, we're lucky!

The Well-versed Waitress
by speed_e5

Good evening, dear customer, and welcome to Kelp!
I'll be your waitress this evening, and I'm always happy to help.
If you enjoy fine dining, this is the best restaurant in the Neopian seas.
We serve only the finest quality Maraquan gourmet delicacies.

Kindly peruse the menus, I'm sure you'll find the food delectable.
We offer a wide range of courses, and our prices are quite respectable.
Would you like to start with an appetizer? Or perhaps a drink?
Please enjoy some complimentary bread as I give you more time to think.

If you'd like a recommendation, I've seen what customers like best.
I'm more than happy to accommodate your needs; this is how we treat all our guests.
You could start with our signature pate a la kelp or our tropical fruit bowl.
Today, I'd recommend the whole roast pheasant; we just got a fresh delivery of fowl.

If you would like to hear the specials, our chefs all specialize in fish.
Both our ocean platter and fish special are a five-star quality Neopian dish.
But if you have a sweet tooth, you can skip immediately to ordering dessert.
Our ice cream is amazing, and if you're lactose intolerant, we can substitute it with yoghurt.

I'm glad you enjoyed the courses, and I hope you've had your fill.
Allow me to close your table and set you up with the bill.
Oh, it seems today your eyes were bigger than what you could actually eat.
No worries, I'd be more than happy to pack your leftovers for you to keep.

Despite so many other places that cater and serve gourmet.
The Kelp restaurant is rated number one and is always here to stay.
Many wonder why their reviews always come in clutch.
The secret lies with the service, and their waitress is quite top notch.

Silver Platters
by ameilae

Beneath the waves of Maraqua’s sea,

Where jellyfish glow and coral grows free,
A restaurant named Kelp serves exclusive fare, 
And a Maraquan Uni greets all who dine there.

“Table for two?” the Maraquan Uni seems to sing,
Beckoning you to try the Thornberry Brew drink,
Radiant silver platters they seem to be serving, 
But don’t fret, walk in, there is no reserving.

The smells of the dishes have you quite in awe, 
You see savoury dishes of Maraquan Cream Broth, 
Whole Roast Pheasant, they’re all on display!
Decedent desserts of Coral Cake, and Octopi Soufflé! 

At closing tide, when the sea light start to dim, 

And the last of the Seaweed Surprise is gone, 

The Maraquan Uni thanks all the Kelp guests, 
And if you get leftovers? Well, that’s anyone’s guess.

Ellia the Uni Sells Clothes that are Beauties
by _brainchild_

Within Neopia Central,
You'll find a shop that's never dull.
A Uni greets you, so faboo,
To show the clothes she has for you.

Why, any species will enjoy
These gorgeous pieces, never coy,
From sunglasses in shape of stars
To flashy wares brought from afar.

Some wares are worn by anyone,
But other gems are only fun
For certain species that can fit
Into arrays of silks and knits.

My Draik shall love her pretty dress,
But Krawks can't wear it, I confess.
No worries, though---another gown
Will turn my Krawk's frown upside down!

I thank the Uni for her wares
So sure to bring a lot of stares.
I think you should stop by and see
The clothes that bring a lot of glee.

The Uni
by habitualstargazer

Once a gentle Rainbow Uni
tread upon the faeries' lands
When still they rode the vaulted skies
yet unmarred by Xandra's hands

The Uni wore no cloak of gold
and she spake no words aloud
Yet a glimmer and a song did
follow her into the clouds

She did turn the heads of faeries
with the prisms of her eyes
But she buck'd and pranc'd from any
who would make of her a prize

Queen Fyora did address her
and all her subjects in turn,
"None shall yoke or ride this creature,
for her freedom she does yearn"

So unbridled and unsaddled
did the uni freely roam
Casting vibrant bursts of colour
from her feather'd wings of chrome

For lifetimes did she paint the day
and did deepen shades of night
Until Faerieland did sparkle
in the magic of her light

Then Queen Fyora came to her
in the auspice of the moon
For the blessing of her colours
she did offer her a boon

Said the Uni to the faerie,
"I beseech you not for jewels
but to lay my head and dream some,"
and became the Rainbow Pool
