After 1 week of cleaning the Earth Faerie's stuff and
doing her chores, I got annoyed. In my free time I talked to the Air Faerie.
"It's not fair!" I said to her Wednesday evening.
"I don't want to do everything for the Earth Faerie! She'll get fat and lazy!
And besides, it's ruining my girlish figure!" "Well that's not my fault." Said
the Air Faerie. She can be nice, but in an "I don't care" sort of way.
I started to moan.
"How many games did you guys play?" she asked.
"3." I responded.
"Hmm…" the Air Faerie hmmed. "Well that's the
problem! One of you got to pick 2 games!" she said smartly. "Then again that's
fair."
"It is?" I said. "Drat."
The next day I went to see the Earth Faerie
when I was washing dishes. "Um… Earth Faerie?" I said nervously.
"Wha!" she snapped.
"I… I… I don't think this is fair because-,"
She cut me off. "Fair?" she yelled. "I'll tell
you what's fair!"
"Yeah but," I stuttered, "But I just don't like
this! It's not fair!"
"Really?" she snarled. "Well guess what? I won,
you lost, live with it." The way she said 'live with it' sent chills down my
spine.
"Well too bad!" I yelled. "Do your own cruddy
dishes!" I stormed out and dropped the plate I'd been drying. It shattered to
a million pieces.
I locked myself in my room for the rest of the
night. I was talking to my orange fuzzle, Fuzzly, who I've had since I was born.
"Should I run away or not?" I asked Fuzzly. Fuzzly just sat there. "Hmmm…" I
said. "Yes."
I used a bag the Light Faerie made me and packed
my stuff. An Everlasting Apple (which I had earned by working for the Faerie
Queen), some chicken breasts, chocolate cake, and some candy. And Fuzzly. As
I left my room, I put a note on my bed saying I had run away. As I left the
castle, I popped an Apple sweetie into my mouth. I was off. I walked out of
Faerieland and went to Neopia. As I walked, different Neopians and pets bowed
to me. There was this one little Kacheek who gave me all he had. A tomato, how
nice! I stuffed it in my bag and continued on. When night came I went to the
toy store and bought a Tent. When I awoke the next day I rushed out of my tent.
I packed my tent and I was off. I walked all over the places I could go. I went
everywhere but the space station. 'I've never been there' I thought.
When I got there I looked around. It was very
interesting. I marvelled at the shiny buttons. My stomach was rumbling so I
decided to get something to eat. The nearest food joint was Grundo's Café.
I sat down in one of the rows nearest to the
waiter. When he saw me, instead of bowing, he grunted, "Whaddya want?"
I said, "I'll have the Cordon Bleu."
He yelled to the chef, "One grandmas teeth!"
Must be restaurant talk. I looked nervously
around. About 10 minutes later the waiter threw me what looked like chewed granny
food. Yuck! I now understand why they call it grandma's teeth! I looked down
at my food in disgust. The Grundo waiter watched me.
"Odd to see you here Water Faerie." He said
to me.
"Why?" I replied.
"Well," he began, "Faeries are full of good
and kindness. And here at the Space Station, well, we're bad. Ya know… Dr. Sloth."
He said darkly.
I don't know what came over me but I blurted
out, "Well, not all the Faeries are full of good and kindness and love and all
the crud!" Hmmph. Some people. "Where can I find Dr. Sloth?" I demanded.
"Uhhhh…" the waiter said.
"Aw, forget you! You… you… you son of a Fungus
Ball!"
And for that I was thrown out. Where had that 'fungus ball' comment come from
anyway? Oh well. I set out to look for Sloth. I found him insulting the Braintree.
I put a dark look on my face and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around.
"Ahhhhhh!" he screamed and ran away.
"Wait!" I yelled. Too late, he had fled.
***
I looked everywhere for Sloth in the few days that followed, but I couldn't
find him. After five straight days of looking I found him in the Haunted Woods
drawing in some dirt. I rushed over to him.
"Uhhh…. Dr?" I said.
"Greetings Water Faerie." He said gloomily.
"What's wrong?" I asked him.
"It's the worst thing." He said. "It all started
about 3 days ago when I stole a magic mirror from Kauvara's storage closet…"
"Is this gonna be a flashback?" I asked. He
nodded.
***FLASHBACK***
"Mirror, mirror, I stole from a shop, who's the evilest of the crop?" said
Sloth to his mirror.
"Not you, Dr. I am displeased to report to you
that the evilest being currently in existence in Neopia is Jhudora the Dark
Faerie who is currently plotting a way to dominate Faerieland and destroy the
Faerie Queen!" The mirror said in an all-knowing sort of way.
"Why didn't I ever think of destroying the Faerie
Queen? Maybe I could hold her for ransom…" Sloth said pacing around the room.
"As long as Jhudora exists, she is the evilest
of all." The mirror said.
"Then I'll just have to get rid of her, won't
I? Mwahahaha!" Sloth made a cutting motion over his throat.
"It's impossible for a mortal to destroy a Faerie."
The face in the mirror disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Darn that Adam for creating Jhudora!" Sloth
yelled in frustration.
***BACK TO THE PRESENT***
"So I'm not really the evilest Neopian villain, although I've acquired the
title by default, I don't deserve it!" Sloth went back to doodling in the dirt.
Then, without warning, he popped his thumb into his mouth and started to wail.
"Dr! Calm down!" I cried. "I've come to ask
you to teach me to be evil. If you can do that, I'll get rid of Jhudora for
you. Even if mortals can't destroy faeries, faeries can destroy faeries." I
grinned an evil grin…for the first time!
We went back to the Space Station.
"The first thing you must learn it the evil
laugh." Sloth cackled a cackly cackle. I tried.
"Muahahaha! That felt good." I told him. I cackled
all the way to the lab at the bottom of the Space Station.
"Your first assignment: Create a Wocky transmogrification
potion." He told me. He leaned against the wall watching me intently.
"Easy." I told him. I magically conjured up
some ingredients and stirred them together. I gave it to a Wocky in one of the
cages. Instantly, it became a gruesome mutant. 'Perfect.' I thought
We did some more evil stuff and finally Sloth
said, "It's time for the final test." He released some fluffy blue Cybunnies
on me.
"AHH GET THEM AWAY! THE CUTENESS IS UNBEARABLE!"
I shrieked. "Perfect." Sloth said.
We entered Neopia, me looking like a kind Water
Faerie and Sloth dressed as- "The Desert Faerie?!"
"Yeah, so?" Sloth responded.
"Well, there is no Desert Faerie, Dr."
"I don't care!"
Thank goodness Neopia Central wasn't crowded
that day. If it was, we would have gotten crazy stares from Neopians who hadn't
heard anything about the desert Faerie in the news. It was rainy so most people
were in their NeoHomes. There was the occasional cloaked figure running through
the rain in a poncho or raincoat, but those people were in too much of a hurry
to pay any attention to us.
Luckily, the Faeries don't pay any attention
to the news, so when I walked up with the 'Desert Faerie they all just assumed
that Adam had just created another Faerie All the faeries hanging out in the
courtyard ran over to me.
"Water Faerie! Where have you been?" The Uber-Light
Faerie said.
"The Queen's been sick with worry!" said the
Uber-Fire Faerie
"We've missed you so much!" cried the Dark Faerie
