Invisible Paintbrush - Are There Any Benefits?

by epk

Last time I spoke to you guys I wrote about The Stuff, and how it was made by the lunch lady at Snowy Valley High. Well, when I was on vacation at Roo Island. Well, to tell the truth, I was really on a journey looking for this special place called The Invisible Island, where it is said that source of all stuff invisible lives. I had heard this news from Jacko the Phantom Painter when he gave me a Silver Paintbrush the other day. I was curious and started on my journey. I started at Roo Island for some clues on where the Invisible Island was. A Blumaroo by the name of Hippity told me that he might have an answer. I walked over to his house where he showed me a preserved rock in the same thing Dom Dread of The Ski Lodge was enclosed in. The thing was, you couldn't see the rock! Instead, there was an area where nothing was in the jar. Hippity told me that the rocks that wash up onto Roo Island are sometimes invisible. Hippity told me that people believe the Invisible Island is further out the way and these rocks come from that area. But since the island is invisible, nobody had ever found it. Hippity told me that his owner, Koko, had a boat-tour that went out everyday in search of the island. I felt it was best to go on today's tour.

I was the only one on the tour that day. I brought along with me a Bag of Infinite Neggs, a huge bag, and a frost cannon. I told Koko that I had an idea. Once we left the dock, Koko gave me a tour of the boat. There was the Global Positioning Assistant, so we would remember the placement of the island, the fridge, and some other stuff. All of a sudden, I remembered my plan. I told Koko to hold onto the Frost Cannon as I dumped some Neggs inside. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! All the Neggs drowned as a bunch of wild Jetsams gobbled them up. I tried again. One Negg floated there. Koko and I both exclaimed, "IT'S THE INVISIBLE ISLAND!" We jumped off the boat and jumped into nothing. It was an awkward feeling at first, floating above the surface of the water. I got used to it as I picked up rocks and tossed it onto the boat. It was hard to grasp them, but once they were in the bag, they were a lot easier to keep track of.

One time when I bent down for a rock, I picked something else up. It was an invisible Jubjub, which as you know, aren't common to find. "Ouch!" said the voice of an invisible male Jubjub.

"Sorry dude. I didn't know you were there!"

"Can't you see me?"

"Uh...no offense dude, but, you are invisible."

"I see my feet."

"I don't."

"How come my friends can see me then?"

"I dunno." From the distance about a dozen Jubjubs, or whatever, (hey, I couldn't see them!) yelled. "Okay, you must be visible to all the invisible pets. Oh well." Then I remembered something. "How'd you all get invisible?" I felt the Jubjub run under my legs, heard it go farther and up came a floating twig. I heard a pick, a munch, a burp, and the twig fell.

"From these InvisiBerries!" yelled the Jubjub. I was given one to try and I started vanishing. I screamed pretty loud, as you may of guessed. I went back to normal after a while. I laughed at the thought of disappearing forever...

"Where'd Koko go?" I asked the Jubjub. Koko came running back to the boat.

"Monocer...monocer...mono..." he gasped.

"The Monoceraptor?" I responded. "He was beaten already. I think that Lupe doesn't want to go over defeating him again."

"OUS!" replied Koko. Everybody screamed. He meant the Monocerous. I didn't fret however. I knew from experience that the Monocerous wasn't able to stand Jubjub's screaming, and well, an invisible one, all the better! As the giant bull came running after us I told the Jubjub to scream. As it screamed, the bull ran away.

I said good-bye to the Jubjub and Koko and I went back to Roo Island and tell the whole of Neopia. "You know, the invisible Paintbrush looks really helpful," I told Koko. Koko asked why. "Although you can't see your pet, it must be really helpful in the Battledome," I responded, looking up. "I wonder, why isn't the invisible Paintbrush all that rare? Your pet is safe from prey unless the predator has a good scent of smell, like the Gelert and Lupe." Koko started to speak up, but I as still too distracted in my thoughts.

Later on, after telling Roo Island where the Invisible Island is, I headed out with my share of rocks to show my Neopets. I was wondering about the pets and how being invisible has helped some pets. Choosing to head towards the Battledome, I brought some flour for the invisible pets I was about to talk to. I was only able to find SwiTaeSun however, the Glass Nimmo who got into the Battledome Knockout. According to what she told me, she used to be a he (wanted to clear that up.) but also used to be invisible! The most interesting thing is that I learnt that invisible pets are just as good as any other colour! However, some funny things do happen to invisible pets. They may be missed in the Battledome, but they still get hurt! Also, I learnt that glass pets get 'cracked up' when they are hit, and a sort of invisible. I left, only to find the Looper, an owner who had something to hide, had one of those new bird pets. And this was about 3 days ahead of when they came out! I was told that the bird pet might be painted invisible...hmm...

Well, I was about to end my research when a very distressed owner came chasing after me. Her name was Bug Burd and she had a complaint. "Hey, you! You wrote the Neopian Times article that made me invest a fortune for nothing! And guess what! My Scorchio is a lawyer!" Now this was getting a bit weird, I had to admit. What made me a criminal?

Now, quite weird I have to admit, I was floating in the air. "I'm going to put you in court if you don't give me enough money for the item THE STUFF!" the owner was yelling. Yikes! When I had created my last article for the Neopian Times, somebody had misread the part Still has to be approved by The Neopian Staff of Fine Foods and Other Items.

"I'm telling ya! You misread a line!" I shouted over and over. It was then I tugged up in the air and out of nowhere, a shirt appeared.

"Give me buck that shurt!" a Scorchio shouted. The Scorchio that belonged to Bug Burd was invisible, and holding me up! I gave the Scorchio back the shirt and as he picked it up, the 'shurt' vanished. "Thunk you for the shurt. But you still gutta puy!" the Scorchio replied.

Now, out of pure luck, I heard a whopper of an argument. It was a SKI TV, (little TV units that have been hovering around Neopia reporting murders) which was reporting Mr. Black was just killed. The Big Spender and Shankly were arguing who the murderer was. The Big Spender said, "Hey! I was reading Neopian Times when this happened! Like how epk made up those fake, funny, recipes! Didn't you read that part where they still needed to be made?" Shankly soon replied that that was off the subject.

After this adventure, and being freed (err...dropped.) I wrote down my information I learned.

1. Invisible Island is Invisible with Invisible pets with not invisible Monocerous...not Monoceraptor.
2. Invisible pets don't need to be pet to be hurt.
3. Invisible pets make clothes disappear.
4. Invisible pets are solid.
5. I need to change my Murderer Prediction, which I had from Round 2.

Also, here are some recipes that may never be made:

Invisible Paintbrush + The Stuff = Invisible Stuff
Grows just as fast, you just can't see it!

Invisible Paintbrush + Yellow Meerca Plushie = Invisible Meerca Plushie
Where'd it go?

Now, I must repeat these made never be made! The have to be approved by the NSOFFAOI! Good-bye!

Oh yes...my next article will be about 5 pets...one of which is a Gelert and possibly, if it's out, the new bird pet.
