Is Roo Island False or TROO?

by aznalitygurl

Many a question, but this most asked: Is Roo Island real? Finally, the truth be revealed. Yes, yes, Roo Island is real, but all those other stories you've heard? They're wrong! Even ask the Light Faerie yourself! I can see your face lighting up to crunch into the tiny island with 5,000 other tourists, but don't even try, you'll never see yourself in a mirror again, finish reading first.

In Neopian History class, I was really bored. I shuffled around in my pockets, hoping to find Light Faerie figurine to play with. Nothing, I sighed deeply, then suddenly, I felt something rough and dusty in my pockets.

It was a magic key! Even better than my L.F.F.!(Light Faerie figurine), I thought, Now I could go anywhere I want and at the same time I could go back in time! So cool!

But I had no where to go. I shrugged, and leaned over my history book. Then I definitely knew where to go! Roo Island! In my history book, it said it was a lovely beach island with shady green jungles and a cool, icy mountain to hike up. I was so excited! I immediately closed my eyes and grasped the key tight and concentrated on Roo Island.

Suddenly there was a hot wind, I opened my eyes to find Roo Island. I looked around. Beach, mountain, river, jungle, rolling hills, strange native dashing at me with an arrow, I thought, STRANGE NATIVE DASHING AT ME WITH AN ARROW?!

I was too scared and traumatised to think. I was lucky when an arrow sailed right by my ear and just left a mere scratch. It all happened in slow motion. As my luck struck, the native stared at me for a moment and stopped. He ran up to me and amazingly spoke a smooth fluent rhythm of Neopian, "With your dodging skills, would you join our elite force tribe, the Ookamongakichitanga?"

I paused for a moment. The strange native understood that I didn't understand, "There's a desperate war! Us Ookamongakichitangas have to win!"

"WAIT WAIT WAIT! I'm not gonna join a war until I know how worthy you are." I felt really important and intelligent, which are two things I'm usually not.

"Well, it all started when the Komoolangotitichipatcha's chief waged war over whether paintbrushes should be used on pets alone. My tribe immediately disagreed, paint brushes should be used on anything they want to be used on. We are determined to win! Join us!"

"That's a bad reason to wage war, I will not join you!"

After that, I felt stupid and mediocre, they hung me on a branch over a volcano. It wasn't so bad, I mean watching the war was better than Pay-Per-View. First Komoolangotitichipatcha was winning, it was almost certain they would win, but the Ookamongakichitanga made a quick comeback. As the end neared, Komoolangotitichipatcha came back as well several times, but Ookamongakichitanga wouldn't stand it, they won in fact.

The day that Ookamongakichitanga won, the strange native who I later found out was the chief handed out invisible paintbrushes to everyone. Roo Island's new symbol would now be the invisible paintbrush, representing the invisible tears of sweat they heaved in the horrid war. Thought this great liberty, I still hung above the volcano, half my body incinerated.

When my head hung over the volcano I saw a native dropping an invisible paintbrush on my volcano, I was so overjoyed, now I could stop hanging over that stupid volcano and I could go back to stupid Neopian History class.

He dropped the invisible paintbrush down the volcano all right, but now the whole island was gone and I was left with only my head! I sunk to the bottom of the ocean and I learned to survive there.

One day the Faerie Queen paid me a visit down there. She had told me that someone found out about the invisible paintbrush and told her. I told her everything else, the war and the volcano. She then thanked me and refunded me my body.

She called me on the phone once I got home, "I will perform a great spell upon everyone in Neopia except you. This spell will make everybody forget the controversy. You may feel a little woozy, so don't be surprised, take a glass of water and a warm bath and you'll be better. Also, I have changed the law, you can only use paintbrushes on pets now, you know, just in case your body disappears again." She chuckled. And here I am, finally unveiling the truth.

I hope you enjoyed my story, now keep the story going on, just don't tell anyone I told you!
