"Autumn Adventures" by maddie_bangz
“Clover, over here!” Eleanor the Elephante waved her arms dramatically, waiting for her friend to spot her in the distance. Clover’s face broke into a smile as she spotted Eleanor standing outside of the Plushie shop. The Acara raced across the path, leaves crunching under her feet until she embraced Eleanor with a laugh. “Hey girl, how have you been?” Clover grinned. “Not too bad! Just doing some shopping…” Her voice trailed off and she leaned in conspiratorially. “They’re saying Neopian Central’s starting to go grey. So I figured, check out the places I can before… you know…” Clover nodded solemnly. The Plaza, which was usually bustling with activity at this time of day, was eerily quiet. Neopians everywhere were scared of the rapidly spreading grey curse, Eleanor included. She was constantly checking over her shoulder and looking at the sky for signs of the invading shades, and looking at herself in the mirror before bed, making sure there wasn’t a spot of grey on her. “I understand.” Clover said quietly. She took Eleanor’s arm and the two began to walk down the path away from the shops, watching peacefully as crisp autumn leaves floated in the breeze around them.
