An Interview With a Snow Pet

Wait... I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Apple and I just became a reporter. Now I'll go on with my story.

The next morning, I set off on my journey to Terror Mountain where it's winter all year long. I've predicted that many snow pets live there.

After I arrived, I walked for 2 whole hours, carrying a heavy bag full of hot dogs, and saw ABSOLUTELY NO snow pets. All I saw were little raindorfs laughing at me. I wanted to kick them, but I've decided that they're not worth wasting my energy on. After another hour of hopeless walking I finally sat down and decided to have a hot dog. When I opened my bag, I noticed that ALL my hot dogs were frozen. And I was S-T-A-R-V-I-N-G. I let out a big sigh. Then I heard a voice behind me.

"Are you ok? Do you need help with something?"

I looked back and there was a snow Blumaroo. I yelped with joy and threw my frozen hot dogs around. I was so happy I forgot about my hunger. I decided to interview this snow Blumaroo since he didn't seem to be busy.

Me: Hi. I'm Apple and I'm a reporter who works for the Neopian Times. And I was wondering if I could interview you. Oh, pretty please? With sugar on top?

Snow Blumaroo: Sure thing. Umm... *points to my hot dogs* Can I just have few frozen hot dogs? They're my favorite and I'm starving.

Me: Yeah. *Passes hot dogs* In fact have all of them.

Snow Blumaroo: Gee, thanks! *takes a bite out of frozen hot dogs* Mmmm...

Me: Ok. *looks in bag* Aww, man... My paper and pen are frozen too. I guess I'll have to remember what you say in my head. So... first question: Where do most snow pets live?

Snow Blumaroo: *crunch* Well, at this time of the year *crunch* most of the snow pets are out of Terror Mountain or Ice Caves or Snow Valley. *crunch* A lot of them went to places such as Neopia Central to visit their friends. It's pretty cold right now in Neopia Central. *crunch* Me, I live in Neopia Central. My owner is nice enough to always keep our neohome cold. *crunch*

Me: Ahh. That's why I couldn't find snow pets over here. Hmmm, interesting. Second question: What do snow pets eat?

Snow Blumaroo: *hold up hot dogs* Snow food and frozen food. Practically all the stuff you can buy at the Super Happy Icy Fun Snow Shop. I came to Terror Mountain to buy some frozen food for me and some of my snow friends that are in Neopia Central. You see, when we, snow pets, eat food other than snow or frozen food, the inside of our mouths melt a little. *crunch*

Me: Hey, right. I was wondering why you were here. So that's why. Third question: What are some cons of being a snow pet?

Snow Blumaroo: *crunch* Let's see. There's 1... *crunch* 2...* crunch* 3... *crunch* 4... *2 months later* 1287...*crunch* 1288!

Me: I didn't say count your stup-... Excuse me... Tell me your 2 main cons.

Snow Blumaroo: *crunch* Well one con is that... *sniffles and takes bite out of hot dog* some people just think that I'm a snowman that some pesky petpets made and they pass by me without noticing I'm a pet. Even some of my friends still do that. *eats hot dog angrily* My second con... Oh right. I told you I live in Neopia Central, right?

Me: Mmhmm.

Snow Blumaroo: Well, when it gets hot, *crunch* most snow pets move back to Terror Mountain. Some stay in Neopia Central because their owners hate the cold. And my owner is one of them... During the summer I mostly stay inside and sometimes my friends comes over to my neohome... *crunch* but sometimes I have to go outside to run some errands for my owner. And when I do, I start to melt quickly! I change from a Blumaroo to a watery --- actually let's not talk about it. It might disgust you and it brings back bad memories. *sniffles*

Me: *pats Blumaroo's back* Aww, don't be sad. *passes hot dog* Here have another hot dog. Ok, fourth question: What is 1 good thing about being a snow pet? Only 1.

Snow Blumaroo: Don't worry. *Crunch* There is only one that I can think of anyway. *Crunch* Snow pets are invincible to the cold and to snow. So no matter how cold it is we won't feel it. Also I mentioned that we're invincible to snow right? Hehe. In a snowball fight, snow pets always win.

Me: Well that's it. Is there anything else you want to say? A message, perhaps, that you want other people to know about.

Snow Blumaroo: Yeah. *Crunch* Being a snow pet is hard. So all owners, if your goal is to paint your pet snow, you better think again. That's it.

Me: Oh, wait. Sorry, I forgot about an important question. Answer this one and you can go. What is a snow pet's biggest fear?

Suddenly, the snow Blumaroo pointed at something in back of me and screamed, "THAT!" And then he ran away. I looked back. There was a fire Grarrl and he looked pretty dazed.

"Did I do something?" he said.

"Oh no. You know... *shakes head* snow pets..."

Well I guess a snow pet's biggest fear is fire. *shrugs* When I looked back that stupid snow Blumaroo was completely out of my sight... AND he took my hot dogs with him. Talk about big appetite.
