Try to overlook spelling or grammer errors. I'll get those cleared up before I submit this to the Times.

I was soaring through the air on my faerie wings. I swopped and dived, loving every minute. I soared so high I saw faerieland, then dived down again...

I was awakened by a knock on my bedroom door.

"What?" I said, still tired.

"Sunshine, it's time to get up," My owner, brolem72, said.

"Okay," I answered.

I heard him walk away, then I turned over and went back to sleep. brolem then woke me up again by shaking me. I opened my eyes to look at him.

"Get up, Sunshine," he told me. "I'm not letting you sleep the day away."

I slid out of bed, and he walked off. My Mallard, Quacky, waddled up next to me. He looked about as tired as I felt.

As you probably heard, my name is Sunshine. My full name is Sunshine_0523, but everyone simply calls me Sunshine. I'm a yellow Kacheek, and a very tired one at that.

"Just because our owner likes to get up early doesn't mean that we like to." I muttered to Quacky.

I Walked outside the room and down the steps. When I got there, I saw my siblings. Their names are Choizoneo, Frontfur, and Poogle_One.

Choizoneo was a blue Meerca, until he went face to face with the ray. Now he's a Strawberry Poogle, but how long he'll stay that way was anyone's guess.

Frontfur is a Christmas Usul. A male Usul, I might add. He's not exactly happy about being one of the few male Usuls in Neopia, but he gets through as best he can.

Poogle_One is a yellow Poogle. She's one of only 2 females in this family, myself being the other one. She got named Poogle_One because she dreams of racing in the Poogle Races someday.

Anyways, we all filed to the breakfast table, where Omlette was waiting for us. As we ate, brolem was making sure he knew what we were doing today.

"So, Choizo, you're getting battle practice in?" he asked

Choizo nodded, and brolem turned to Frontfur.

"You're meeting some friends today?" he continued.

Frontfur nodded, and he turned to me.

"You're exploring, right?" he asked me

I nodded, and he turned to P_One

"You're helping with the shop today." he finished

P_One groaned.

After breakfast, we all went outside. I sat on the step and thought about my dream.

"It would probably be great to be Faerie," I said to myself. "I would love to fly, and I would look so beautiful."

I walked back inside, where brolem was was washing dishes. I turned on my puppy dog eyes and said "Brolem, can I be painted Faerie?"

"No. I can't afford the paintbrush," he answered.

"Pleeeeeeease?" I said cutely.

"No," he repeated, turning around. "The paintbrush is retired, and there's no way I'll be able to afford one. If you want to be painted a cheaper color, I'll consider it."

He finished the dishes and kissed me on the head.

"I have to get to the shop. Be good." he said, then left the house.

I left myself, and headed towards Neopian Central. As I passed by the rainbow Pool, I stopped to watch an owner and her own yellow Kacheek.

"Ready?" the Kacheek's owner asked.

The Kacheek nodded, and the owner pulled out her Faerie Paint Brush and dipped it into the water.

Water rose from the pool, swirling around the Kacheek. After a few seconds, the water fell back in the pool, and the yellow Kacheek was now a faerie Kacheek

As they embraced each other, I couldn't help but feel a little jealous of them.

Then, I felt like someone was calling me. The feeling told me to go in the woods outside of Neopian Central.

I followed it deeper and deeper into the woods, until it stopped me at a dark clearing. It was so dense, there was barely even any sunlight.

Then I heard a voice. The voice was a woman's voice, but not one I ever heard.

"You wish to be a faerie Kacheek. Am I correct?" the voice asked.

"Yes. Can you help me?" I asked.

"I can. But be aware, there is a price to pay," the voice said.

"I don't care. I'll pay any price," I answered.

"Very well," the voice answered. "Dig into the ground in front of you. You should find a Faerie Paint Brush there."

I dug into the ground, and found a Faerie Paint Brush, like she said.

"I'll collect my payment later," the voice said. "Do not tell anyone about me."

I walked out of the woods, the paint brush held tightly in my paw. As I passed by the rainbow pool, I had the idea of painting myself.

I stepped in the water, imagining the look on my owners face when I come home as a faerie. I dipped the paintbrush in the water, and water started to swirl around my body.

I felt some slight pain as wings came out of my back and grew to full size, but the process was mostly painless.

As the water dropped back into the water, I took a look at my reflection in the water. But then, I felt like I was suddenly paralized.

I tried to move my wings, but they didn't respond. Neither did my legs, arms, or even my eyes.

<Very nice,> the voice said, inside my head. <This body will do very nicely.>

"What's happening?" I thought.

<I told you there was a payment,> the voice answered. <And that payment is your free will.>
