Lucy and Linda, the human twins were walking to medical
school one day. As soon as they got to the Neopian Hospital, where their
classes were held, that day wasn't going to go too well. Their teacher,
a doctor by the name of Mr. Madison, was in one of those lazy moods. Usually
that meant trouble.
They were right. The central desk computer in the emergency office was
ringing, signaling it had a message waiting. It kept ringing, and ringing,
and ringing, but Dr. Madison didn't make a move to answer it.
"Aren't you going to answer it?" Lucy asked.
"Nope, I don't feel like it Lucy," Dr. Madison answered.
"But it must be an emergency!" Linda insisted.
"You remember that the e-mail in that computer is only meant for emergencies!
Please answer it!"
When the doctor refused again, the twins ran over to the computer and
pressed the receive button that was flashing. Using voice mail, Linda
greeted the person on the other line.
"Neopian Hospital for sick and injured pets, how may I help you?"
"Who is this? You're talking to Nurse Janina, in Mystery Island, where
is Dr. Madison?" the nurse inquired to Linda.
"This is Linda Calhoun, a student from the medical classes that are held
here. The doctor, Dr. Madison, said he wasn't going to answer anything.
But me and my twin sister are open, and we've had enough practice, can
we please help you?" Linda pleaded.
"Oh, all right!" the nurse replied, "But be ready in an hour, I'm sending
the injured pets over on a boat, with guards."
"What's the problem, Nurse Janina? What happened?" Linda asked.
"A van carrying at least 100 NeoPets that were being taken to the pound
was in a traffic accident, we can't handle all the pets here on the island,
so we need you to treat 50 of the injured pets," Nurse Janina said.
The twins spent the hour that they had making sure that the rooms they
would be using had everything they needed. That hour went quickly, and
they rushed to the harbor to take the pets to the hospital. They took
50 ambulances for each of the NeoPets. The pets had to be carried to shore
using bamboo stretchers.
The pets were put in the ambulances, and off they went, quick as was
humanly possible, to the Neopian Hospital. Dr. Madison, how ever, had
gone home for the day, not caring at all if any of the pets were injured.
The twins used the next two to three hours treating the poor NeoPets.
When they were done, they talked to Nurse Janina, telling her all the
pets would have to stay over night for health benefits. The next morning,
they got the pets fed and taken to the harbor, where Nurse Janina was
waiting for them.
"Thank you!!!!!" she cried with an outburst of joy, and awarded them
plaques that indicated that they were now licensed doctors. She also gave
them each 100,000 NP in cash, enough to start a family. On top of that
she each gave them 300 Neggs, Usukis, and other luxury items.
"You said that these pets were going to the pound, didn't you doctor?"
Lucy asked.
"Yes they are," the nurse replied, "why do you ask?"
"I was wondering if I could keep the pets, Nurse Janina," Lucy said.
"All fifty of them?" the nurse asked.
"No," Lucy continued, "all 100 of them."
"What?" the nurse asked.
"Well, since they don't have any homes, I was thinking of opening a NeoPets
Shelter," Lucy said timidly.
"I don't think they would rather spend their time in a cage, do you?"
"All right, they're yours!" Nurse Janina answered.
"Yes!!!!" Lucy shouted.
Conclusion: During the next month, Lucy opened a shelter, and
made all 100 of the pets good food, and they soon became the happiest
pets in the world. As for Dr. Madison, he was fired for not realising
his duty as a doctor, and ended up pumping gas for a living. The twins
treated injured pets, but Lucy ended up quitting to have more time for
the shelter.
