One day I was just shopping for food when I get a quest from the Fountain Faerie. I was so excited until she told me what she wanted; a baby paint brush. I told her, “That’s way too many neopoints. No way!”
“Then I guess you’re quitting, huh?” She answered.
I thought about it really hard. I didn’t want to give up that easily. So I said, “Okay, we have a deal.”
The Fountain Faerie grinned, then disappeared into blue smoke.
I was all alone with my neopets. I didn’t know what to do. I started off playing games, but I had only made 5,000 neopoints. “This isn’t going to get me anywhere.” I mumbled.
So I decided to go look at the auctions. There were tons of neofriend only auctions for baby paint brushes for only 2 neopoints! I had to be one of their neofriends, or I was history! I looked at one user’s lookup. She said to be her neofriend, I had to join her guild. So I took a look at her guild. It was called, “Neopia’s Dumbest”.
“Neopia’s Dumbest? What kind of name is that?” I thought to myself. No way was I going to join that guild! So, I left the auctions behind. Then, it came to me! “I know! I can go to the scratch card kiosk until I win! It may not work, but it’s worth a shot.”
So my neopets and I ran to go buy a scratch card. But when we got to the stand, it said, “Out to lunch. Be back soon.” I was so upset. Then I saw the janitor and I asked him if he knew where the owner had gone. He said that she had went to the food shop.
I told him thank you and me and my pets dashed to the food shop. When we got there, we looked around and she wasn’t there. I asked the Chia who worked there where she had gone. She said, “What’s in it for me?”
What a rotten Chia! I gave her 100 neopoints and said, “There, now tell me!”
The Chia smiled and said that she went back to the scratch card kiosk.
My face fell blank. “Well, duh!” I thought to myself.
So me and my pets scurried back to the scratch card kiosk, and finally we found her!
“Oh, hello would you like to buy a scratch card?” She asked.
“YES! I would like to have 3 please!”
“3? That’s not allowed, but I’m in a good mood, so I’ll let you.”
I had the 3 scratch cards in my hand, “This is my only chance”. I whispered. I scratched the first scratchcard. I got nothing. I scratched the second scratch card. I got 5,000 neopoints. Still, not even close to what I needed.
Then the moment of truth came. I scratched the card. I scratched it randomly with my eyes closed. When I opened them I saw JACKPOT!
My neopets and me were jumping up and down and screaming! But there was no time to waste! I went to the trades center and bought the baby paint brush. We all rushed over to Faerieland to go tell the Fountain Faerie the great news.
I told her that I had her baby paint brush. Her eyes glowed, her smile widened, and her hair was golden. I handed her the baby paint brush. Then she said, “Thank you! Now you will be rewarded! I will let you paint one of your pets any color you desire!”
All of my pets were so overwhelmed! But, I had to pick one. I chose Cute_Lil_Shoyru_22.
The Fountain Faerie said, “Now, it is time. Pick your color.”
“Baby.” I said.
The Fountain Faerie rose Cute_Lil_Shoyru_22 into the air and in less than a second he turned into a baby! All of my pets and I were very happy; especially Cute_Lil_Shoyru_22!
In the end it was all worth it! – mintyfresh1994
