	Janet and Jane: The Case of the Rough Waters: Part Six The inside of the cave was even worse than I thought it would be. Much much worse. by chasing_stars44
	Cordilion's Big Adventure: Part Three Now mid-afternoon, the musicians began to arrive for their pre-concert practice. Drums, guitars, pianos, flutes and even a triangle were all on the stage. Niv was among them, playing every instrument with ease. Cordie was amazed by it all. He liked these Neopets he had met. by 77thbigby
	Reign of Ice: Part Four It was a long, cold trek to the harbor, but when they finally made it they found two more Coconuts standing guard by the boats. “You know, Brendon, I hear there are pirates in the area.” Irena was just loud enough for the two natives to hear her, and they immediately scrambled. by neolikepets
	The Vine of Destiny: Book 1, The Apprentice Pirates: Part Two In the following weeks, JayJay and Lili settled in well aboard the Black Pawkeet. Garin and Jacques treated them both as apprentices and members of their crew.

"The Flight of the Court Dancer" by drifbilim
The roar of those calling for her blood as she fled through the castle gates was deafening. She ran blindly through the Castletown, hiking up her skirts and hoping to Lord Kass that there would be no town guard to bar her way. It felt like not very long at all before her breath would not come, before she was standing alone and quiet on the dirt road path she’d came from. She couldn’t stop the shake of her shoulders, and the humiliation and terror burning in her ears. Her mother, much less Lord Kass, would not be pleased with her failure. She had bought their army precious time to march across Meridell fields unchecked, but how long would it take for Meridell to undone all of that? How long until her dance’s work was undone? A fornight? Perhaps even less? She shook her head as she lumbered off the path, towards the forest. No, the Darigan army was strong. Meridell stood not a chance against them with Lord Kass at the helm, along with her mother. They would succeed. They had to. She stared up at the tiny splotch of land floating in the distance, the Darigan army looked smaller than Petpetpets as they surged towards Meridell castle, bigger than them all, bigger than the Citadel. She turned away, ignoring the shudder of her heart and the dread in her bones as she marched into the dark forest.
