Happy Endings
The Kau stopped growling and looked at Shirlie curiously. Its eyes flickered
back to their violet color for a moment. Anastasia looked at Shirlie angrily.
"Anastasia, why do this? Do you not love the wonderful world of Neopia?"
Shirlie pleads tearfully.
Anastasia loses her glare, and looks at Shirlie. "Of course I love Neopia...But
I can't succeed without stealing! I need more!" Anastasia shouts.
All this time, Milky had been carefully studying Shirlie's face, and
finally recognized her. He ran up to her and hugged her, crying.
"Oh Milky....I've missed you!" Shirlie stroked his fur, smiling through
her tears.
"And you, Anastasia!" Easter points her paw accusingly at her.
"You're surely going to get your license taken away!!
"Then you'll know what's it like to have everything you own taken
away from you this fast!" Easter snaps her paw in Anastasia's face. Anastasia
looks frightened, her face turning pale.
"Y-you're not seriously going to turn me in, are you?"
"That's exactly what we're going to do! You can get a new license, but
you'll have to work for it! And you'll have to earn enough Neopoints to
pay all those people back!" Dragonboy says, sternly.
"We're not doing this to make you miserable, Anastasia, but you need
to know what it was like for all those people that you hacked..."
Lindsey says gently, walking up to Anastasia. Anastasia was led away
by the Neopian Police, crying. Lindsey felt a little sorry for her, but
also knew that it would make Anastasia a better Neopian. A month later,
there was a knock on Lindsey's door. It was Shirlie, now standing with
Milky and looking joyful.
"Anastasia paid back all the Neopoints she stole from me!"
Then, smiling, Shirlie steps out of the way revealing Anastasia! "I'm
very sorry for all the trouble I caused...I now realize how terrible it
is to be hacked." Anastasia says, sincerely. "I've gotten a new license
and worked for it fair and square. I've paid everyone back too."
Lindsey smiled, and gave Anastasia and Shirlie a hug.
"Thanks to you two, we've helped Anastasia and Shirlie!" she says to
Easter and Dragonboy.
"Well, we were glad to help! I just love happy endings..." Easter says
dreamily.
"Me too!" Dragonboy shouts happily, giving Easter a high-five.
The End
