"Nah, maybe years. I bet many
people got lost on the elevators," Shoyru replied trying to scare Blumaroo.
"People get lost? Oh no, let's
go home," Blumaroo trembled.
"No, I doubt it. Shoyru is
just trying to scare you again. But anyway let's go see what's inside."
Gelert said as he walked toward the automated sliding doors. The other
two followed. A rush of cool air brushed against their faces as the doors
opened.
"Wow look at this place...there
must be 100 levels of stores," Blumaroo said as he bounced around his
two friends. Gelert used her tail to stop the Blumaroo.
"Ouchies! Now Gele why'd you
have to do that for? Maybe you should get a trim," Blumaroo offered.
"He's right your tail is getting
a bit long," Shoyru commented.
"Maybe. Excuse me sir can you
tell me where the nearest fur cut shop is?" Gelert asked the nearest security
guard Skeith.
"All cut shops are located
on the 43rd floor," the guard roared loudly.
The three Neos used the express
elevator to get to the 43rd floor. To their surprise there was not one
but 210 cut shops. At least one for every kind of NeoPet and different
specialty cut shops. Gelert lead the group to a shop which specializes
in Gelert trims. They walked through the green doors with tassels similar
to Gelert's ears and tails hanging from the door frame. A pink Gelert
greeted them.
"Hi welcome . Do you have an
appointment?" the pink Gelert asked.
"Well, I didn't realize...,"
Gelert started.
"Yes, she does. It's under
Gele Gelert," Shoyru interrupted.
"I'm sorry but it seems that
we don't have you written down," the pink Gelert snickered.
"Are you sure because we did
call in for an appointment this morning. Maybe you were slacking off and
decided that trimming a Gelerts tassels are just not as important than
your personal life," Shoyru snapped. "ERRR!"
"Well, no worries. We don't
want a haircut from your stupid shop anyway. I mean, if you are colored
pink then something must be wrong with the hair dye in this shop," Blumaroo
joked as the three walked out and left the pink Gelert fuming.
"All right, we'll cut your
tassels," the girl finally said.
Gele went to sit on one of
the fluffy couches as her two friends went to search for a store that
could give them a cut. Shoyru and Blumaroo walked a bit more until they
reached a specialty shop called "NeoCuts". They walked in and saw white
plastered walls and twenty swivel chairs. Fifteen were taken by many different
Neos. A few Aishas, one Chia, and some Korbats.
"Hello, welcome to NeoCuts!
What would you like today?" a Blue Kacheek welcomed them with a smile.
"Can I have a fur cleansing?"
Blumaroo said to the Kacheek who motioned him to one of the seats.
"Hello my name is Naiya," a
Yellow Cybunny said.
"Can you just give me a fur
cleansing and a trimming of my back fur," Blumaroo requested. With a snap
of her ears a very large Blumaroo sized sink appeared before Cybunny and
she opened a door for him to enter the sink for a fur cleansing. Meanwhile,
Shoyru was still deciding what to do.
"Maybe I'll just get a coat
painting and a wing trim," he told the Kacheek.
"Well, we have someone who
can do the perfect job," the Kacheek said as she lead Shoyru to a chair
where an orange Shoyru was waiting.
"Hello my name is Syna what
color would you like to be painted," she said as she handed Shoyru a paint
guide to pick a color.
"Hmm, how bout Glow in the
Dark," Shoyru finally decided.
"All right and you want a
wing trim too?" she asked as Shoyru nodded.
Twenty minutes later Shoyru
was painted a faint light green and Blumaroo was finished with his fur
cleansing. Another five minutes later the two were finished. They paid
the cashier and tipped their groomers...even giving them an additional
kiss on the cheek.
"I wonder what Gele's cut would
look like?" Shoyru asked. Just as he said that a Gelert that resembled
somewhat of a poodle who has gotten in a fight with a weed-wacker came
running toward them.
"Gele what a lovely um...err...cut,"
Blumaroo tried his best not to laugh.
"No, it's not. Look at me!
I asked to get my tail trimmed an inch and the whole fur razor just shaved
part of my back fur. Then this purple Gelert tried to fix it with a even
bigger razor," Gele Gelert told them as they passed by the shop which
had gave Gelert the horrible cut. Blumaroo started laughing.
"What are you laughing at!!!"
Gele Gelert screamed.
Blumaroo pointed to the sign
of the shop and a picture nearby. The shop had a neon sign which said,
" Gelert Poodle Cuts" and a picture of a Gelert with a poodle cut nearby
it.
It took 5 years for Gele's
poodle cut to grow out and she swore never to visit that shop again and
to aggravate a pink Gelert. Which are, by the way, pink from the central
air conditioning of the mall.
