The Ten Year Old's Story

[Rebecca]

I was writing since before I joined venomclan. That was about three or four years ago, OOHHHH. Y'all got burned right there.

Anyways, I'm not editing this. This is pure, uncensored ten-year-old Rebecca. But this actually created a basis for me, because I started to rewrite as a story for the NT that I never finished. Buutt it still was pretty good.

As Lotta looked into the mirror the more confident she got. Today was no ordinary day, it was the day that Lotta and her little brother Coco started neoschool in the middle of January at a new school, and in a new neighborhood in Shenkuu. Lotta stared into the mirror. She was a pretty blue uni, with deep blue eyes and a shimmering maine. As she brushed her teeth she began to worry. ' What will they think of me? Will they like me?' as she asked herself these questions she didn't hear her owner Stella, calling her. "LOTTA! COME ON COCO'S READY AND SO AM I! LET'S GO OR YOU'LL BE LATE!" Stella screamed. S The last three words caught her attenion. " Coming Stella." Lotta mumbled. Stella was Lotta's beloved owner. Her usual clothes were blue navy jeans , with a white sweater that had a red heart in the middle. Stella caramel-blonde hair was always tied up in a high ponytail.


After the long walk to school with her owner the school came into view. It was a fairly large red building with a dark oak door with a few windows. As they came closer to the school, Stella stopped. " Sorry guys, but you're on your own for now. I'll be back when school's done to walk you back home." Stella sootheingly said. Lotta shivered.It was winter in Shenkuu, and it would be a very brisk walk home. Lotta looked down at her little brother Coco. Coco was a small blue jubjub with big sparkleing eyes. Lotta patted his head and said, " It'll be alright. Come on I'll walk you to your classroom." The blue jubjub nodded and said, " Thanks Lotta."
With that their journey began.

After dropping off Coco in his classroom, Lotta walked down the hallway to find her own. Her teacher was Mrs.Chio. After fifthteen minutes of wandering the halls she finally found her classroom. When she opened the door she felt a rushed feeling of releif. Quickly she took a seat in between to a yellow cybunny and a blue grundo. When Lotta sat down, she felt several stares her way. Sure enough the grundo and cybunny were the on-lookers. "Hey." the grundo said calmly.

"Hi." Lotta replyed feeling a little awkward. " So... you're the new kid. Right?" the cybuuny added. "Huh? Oh yeah, that's me! Lotta the new kid!" Lotta replyed cheerfully. " Well, Lotta you can call me Cece." the blue grundo said. " And my name's Luna!" The cybunny added. " Hey. Meet us at lunch today, and we'll introduce you to everybody." Cece said. Lotta nodded. 'Making friends is easy!' Lotta thought. About five minutes after, Mrs. Chio entered. All throughout the morning Lotta, Cece and Luna passed notes to eachover asking eachother questions. By the time the bell rung they knew eachover's birthday to their favorite color.

Lunch was before recess so Cece and Luna led Lotta over to a table with a group of over pets sitting at it.

"HEY YOU GUYS!" Cece yelled because of the conversation that was going on between these pets. Everyone's attenion was on the new-comer. " Hey everyone I'd like you to meet Lotta. She's really nice and funny! You guys will love her!" Luna stated. Lotta stepped forward not knowing what to expect when all of a sudden... "Welcome to our group Lotta! Make yourself at home!" a blue gelert exclaimed."Hey you guys she looks nervous maybe we should introduce ourselves." a red gelert said.
"Duh." a blue uni said. "Well my name is Bandit the red gelert said. " My name's Pawprint." the blue gelert said. " My name's Yose." the blue uni stated proudly. "When we first met her we thought she was a boy because of her nickname!" Pawprint said then chuckled. " Her real name is Yosephyna though." Luna said. " Hey guys, what's up?" a cheery voice said. "Yeah what's up?" a cooler voice said.

Lotta looked behind her. And sure enough the cheery voice was from a Christmas Kougra and the cooler voice came from a Blue kougra. The smile on the Christmas Kougra turned into a frown. "Woah who's the new girl?" the Christmas Kougra asked. "This is Lotta, Sweets." Cece anwsered. "COOL!!!" the Christmas kougra replyed. "HI LOTTA! I'M SWEETS! WE'll BE LIKE THE BEST OF FRIENDS! I CAN'T WAIT! WE'll HAVE SLEEPOVERS, AND GO TO MOVIES TOGETHER, AND PLAY AT EACHOTHER'S NEOHOMES, and..." as Sweets kept blabbleing on and on about things they could do together, Lotta stole a glance at the blue kougra.

He was tall and a very handsome kougra. He sat down and started a conversation with Luna. But even after all of this Lotta still had one though in her mind... 'I wonder how Coco's doing...'Now, before we get back to Lotta and her new friends, let's rewind a bit and see how Coco's doing...

"Don't worry Coco, I'm sure you'll make lots of new friends!" Lotta said. And with that she closed the door. Coco looked around. There were 10 dark oak cricular tables in the room with four seats at each table. At the front of the room there was the teacher's desk and the black board behind it. At the back of the room there was a huge rug. All the pets in the room were on the rug playing with plushies, action figures, and usukis. All the girls were playing with their usukis and were gathered around a big usuki dream house while half of the boys were playing with action figures while the other half were talking about how their big brothers did missions for the defenders of Neopia.
Coco walked into the middle of the room. No one seemed to notice exept the teacher who showed him where to sit and such. After about five minutes the teacher, Ms.Triman told Coco to over to the rug and introduce himself. Coco sighed. He walked over to the group of boys who were talking about The Defenders of Neopia. As soon as Coco sat down the story stopped and the group of boys stared at Coco. "So you're the new kid who everyone is talking about, huh?" a stary jubjub said. "Uh... yeah I guess you can say that. My name's Coco." Coco replyed. "Well Coco I'm Bling." the starry jubjub replyed. "Alright well, let's introduce you to the group."Bling stated. " The red kacheek is my sister,Pink who is supposed to be playing with her usukis." Bling stated. Pink giggled. Bling glared. "Oh, Coco you are like so cute! Do you like my usuki? It's the rare Geisha Girl usuki, oh and this one is the fire faerie usuki and this one...." "That's nice

Pink. But Coco isn't interested in usukis." Bling stated rather coldly. "HEY! MOM SAID IT'S IMPOLITE TO INTERRUPT, BLING! Pink screamed, causeing everyone to stare. "Bling, Pink, please don't start. Now thanks your to interruption, the whole class only has twenty more minutes on the carpet this morning." Mrs.Triman exclaimed. "Yes Mrs.Triman." Bling and Pink said toghether. Coco sighed. How he was going to deal with them for the rest of the year, will be a very hard thing to do. Coco looked at the other members of the group. There was a green gelert, who was smirking at the Bling/Pink arguement. And there was also a disco Nimmo trying to tell Bling that argueing never solves anything but explaining your feelings will. Then there were two twin island lennies, who both looked irritated. "Yo! I don't think we've met!" the green gelert exclaimed. "I'm George as you can see. But everyone calls me Geo." Geo said, now rather dully. " I'm Necko, and I think we
should express our fellings." the brown nimmo said Hippee-like. "I'm Jim.""And I'm Sid." the two island Lennies said.
After learned some addition, writing and reading a few sentences, it was time for lunch. Coco could see Lotta chatting with a very-hyper looking Kougra at the other side of the cafeteria. Coco started to walk over, but George stopped him. " Yo! Coco, where you going?" Geo asked. " I'm going to see my sister. She's the blue uni chatting with the Christmas Kougra." Coco stated. "You mean Sweets and Lotta?" Geo asked. "Yeah! Hey how did you know my sister's name?" Coco asked curiously. "Yo! Man, that group over there is known as the Neopia's known. And it looks like Lotta is the newest member." Geo stated. "Neopia's what?" Coco asked rather confused. " Neopia's known is a big group of popular, funny, fun, cool, pretty, and handsome pets. They don't read for fun, talk about how much fun school is, and talk to neopets outside of their group. It's pretty rare to see them accepting a new member like this." Geo informed. "Wow."Coco said obiously dumbstruct.
"Yeah, no wonder Pink was talking to you. She has wanted to be in Neopia's Known for a couple of years. When she found out I thought she was going to explode. But then she got all quiet and that's the Pink/Bling conflict." Geo explained. "Hey what are you guys..." "Talking about?" Jim and Sid said toghether. "Yeah, man. Your organic neocola is getting warm." Necko said in that hippee voice of his. "What are you guys doing?" Bling asked. "Oh, me and Coco were talking about how his big sister is a member of Neopia's known." Geo said. " NANI?!" the rest of the group exclaimed exept for Coco and Geo. "Who knew who guys know Japanese? Well, anyways it's true." Coco said.

As Lotta scanned the cafeteria for her little brother she finally saw him. He was talking to another group of boys. 'Well at least he made some friends.' Lotta thought. All of a sudden... Sweets hyper voice came out of nowhere! "LOTTA!!! Come sit by me and Luna!Sweets yelled while pushing Lotta into the empty space between Luna and Sweets. "So Lotta tell us a bit about yourself." Cece said. I already told you and Luna, but I'll say it so everyone else can hear it. After she was done, Lotta turned to the handsome blue kougra that had caught her eye a minute ago.

"And you are..." Lotta started. " Mickey Smith. My name is Mickey Smith. " the blue kougra anwsered coldly. " Don't worry." Luna whispered in Lotta's ear. "He treats every girl he's had a crush on that coldly." Luna's whisper ended with that, and Lotta turned to face her friend. Luna winked, and Lotta blinked. "Okay..." Yose started. "So Lotta you really used to live on Mystery Island?" Yose asked trying to break the uncomfortable silence. Even Sweets was quiet today. "OH YEAH! I'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE!" Sweets yelled. With that, everything at the Neopia's Known table went back to normal. But right when Pawprint was about to finish a really funny joke, the bell rang.

In the school, there are two fifth grades, two sixth grades and so on. Luna, Cece, Lotta, Pawprint, and Sweets were in the same class. While Yose, Bandit, and Mickey were in the other room. At 10:45 am, all the members of Neopia's Known would ask to go to the restroom and they would walk slowly down the hall chatting, in the restroom they would talk to pets their own gender, but Sweets kept on yelling so the boys in Neopia's Known could vidualise the conversation.Of course, sometimes Pawprint would yell out his petpet's name, which everyone thought was very random, yet no one really cared. To Lotta being with her group of friends was the best! After two weeks of hanging out with them, she had already been to eight sleepovers! Although Stella said she would miss Lotta very much, Lotta could see that Stella was just happy that she had made friends. Sometimes, it seemed to Lotta that stella had lttle faith in Lotta.
One day after dinner on a Friday night,in the month of hunting, Stella gave Lotta a set of small plastic wrist bands that had the personality of all her friends. Lotta scanned them and chuckled when she saw Sweets's. But one question kept nagging her. " Stella..." Lotta started. " How did you know?" Lotta questioned. "Know what?" Stella asked. " My friend's personalities?" Lotta finished. " Lotta, I know it may seem that some times I don't really have any faith, or pay any attention to you, but I want you to know that I'll always care about you." Stella said.
Just as Lotta was about to say something just as touching, Stella said " Oh I almost forgot!" and walked over to the kitchen table and shuffled through a stack of mail. 'Way to ruin thr moment, Stella.' Lotta thought. Quickly Lotta took out a letter that had Lotta scribbled on the envelope. "Here you go Lotta, one of your friends dropped this by while you at the Poogle Races. " Stella explained. Quickly Lotta opened it t


Lotta was just about to say something as touching but, Stella walked over to a stack of letters that was on the table. "Oh Lotta I almost forgot! You got a letter." Stella said cheerfully as nothing had ever happened. 'Way to ruin the moment, Stella.' Lotta thought. But, Lotta siad her thankyou and took the letter up to her room. She opened it. There was a torn piece of notebook paper with Mickey's slanted handwriting.

The letter read:
' Meet us in the in the Park, by the Drooping Cherry Blossom on Friday at 7.'

Lotta glanced at the clock. It was 6:45! Quickly ,Lotta told her stella where she was going and ran quickly to the park. It was seven but what surprised Lotta was that noone was standing by the blossom...

Lotta started to find tear droplets rolling down her cheeks. ' Would her best friends really lie to her?' the thought remained in her head until she heard Sweets yelling. "YOU GUYS! WHY IS LOTTA CRYING? LOTTA WHY ARE YOU CRYING? DID YOUR PETPET DIE?" Sweets yelled. Lotta sighed and whiped her tears away. She looked up into the tree. There on the highest branches were the members of Neopia's Known with worried looks on their faces. Even Mickey! Lotta used her wings and flew up to the top of the tree and took a seat between Yose and Mickey. "Show off..." Mickey grumbled.

"Okay now to bring the meeting of Neopia's Known to order." Cece stated..."We need a cool place to hangout and to meet eachother." Pawprint finished for Cece. " How about here?" Lotta asked. " Well, that wouldn't work, Lotta." Mickey once again stated coldly. "MICKEY! HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT? THIS IS A PERFECT PLACE!" Sweets yelled. "All in favor of this spot!" Yose declared. Everyone raised their hand. "Then it's settled this is our new meeting place." Luna said. "OKAY WASA THAT IT? WHAT ELSE SHOULD WE TALK ABOUT?" Sweets yelled.

"Wait I have a present for you guys! " Lotta exclaimed. That got everyone's attention. lotta gave out the wrist bands to all of her friends, with all of their personalities on it. Everyone smiled when they put it on. "THANKS A LOT LOTTA! THIS IS SO AWESOME!" Sweets screamed with joy. " For once, I agree with Sweets." Mickey said.
" WHAt'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN MICKEY THE DUKE OF MICKEY-VILLE!" Sweets screamed. "Exactly" Mickey stated simply.

After going through the rest of the meeting, which was trying to get Pawprint to stop yelling his petpet's name out because it was very annoying.

"Well, you guys I better get home, Stella doesn't like me out after dark. " Lotta said sadly. "Oh yeah." Bandit said glumly. " Stella's overprotective. Isn't she?" Yose said. "Yeah sometimes." Lotta said. Lotta jumped out and flew safely to the ground. "Bye, you guys!" Lotta yelled.
Coco looked out the window. There he saw Lotta walking back happily from the park. 'This was the happiest she's ever been! We used to move a lot. Stella, Lotta, and myself have alredy lived in Neopia Central, Mystery Island, The Lost Desert, New Maraqua, and Faerie Land. It was amazing how they've made friends this fast. ' Coco thought. "Well I have friends too! I may not be in a group this time but I'm happy I already have someone to sit by at lunch." Coco exclaimed to no one in particular. Coco repeated this to himself until he fell fast asleep. It was Monday. The worst day of the week. but not for Coco he knew he would get a chance to see his friends once more. Coco walked in the classroom. It was dark exept for a decorated box on the carpet. Coco hung his backpack on the back of his chair and approaced his friends who were currenty putting on a show about Sloth's invasion and how the Neopians bravely defeated him. They were using action figures for characters, and flashlights for spotlights. Coco sat down by Necko who was currently incharge of the 'spotlights'. "Hey Necko, I..." Coco whispered but was cut off by a hush from Pink.

"Fred. Be brave Fred. GO AND DEFEAT SLOTH! Go... now... Fred..." a shadow Grarrl said to a red aisha. " But, General..." "GO NOW FRED! And don't worry about me!" the General said. The red Aisha saluted and said " Yes sir!"
With that, the currten closed and Bling came out and said they would continue the show tommorrow morning. Coco quickly walked back to his seat and sighed. Thanks to Lotta and her 'bathroom time' he was late to school and couldn't talk to his friends like hew usually did on the carpet. 'Oh well', he thought. Another day, another neopoint. That's what Stella always said. "Alright Right.


"Alright, class today since that wonderful performance was on, I want you all to draw a picture of General Shadow. After that, free time!" Mrs. Triman exclaimed.

Coco hurridly drew a picture of a shadow Grarrl with a General's hat on. Then, he put it on Mrs.Triman's desk. he then sat on the rug, waiting paitently for his friends. When Necko, Geo, Bling, Sid, and Jim got to the rug, Coco asked, "What was that?". Geo anwseres dully as usual " Yo! This is just a thing we decided to do this morning. we were all Early Perties, today." Geo explained. " BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! I'VE GOT YOU NOW, FRED! BWAHAHAHAHAHASHA!" screamed Bling. " Yo! Uh-oh. looks like Bling started wthout us." Geo said, pulling Coco over to the box.

"That's it Sloth! It's over!" Fred yelled as he pushed the Dr.Sloth action figure into the Mashed Volcano. " Point 5 for the defenders." Fred said. After the curtain closed, Geo and Coco found the entire class watching their little show. Bling, Necko, Sid, Jim, Coco, and Geo walked to the front of the box and bowed while their other classmates clapped and cheered."Oh. My. Gosh. THAT WAS A HORRIBLE ENDING BLING! WHY WASN'T THERE ANY USUKIS?!" Pink screamed. The Bling/Pink quarrels were happening every day. They would even argue about where an usuki was made. It was all quite hopeless. "Well Pink, incase you haven't noticed, THIS IS ME AND MY FRIENDS' PLAY! SO BACK OFF!", Bling yelled back.

Coco sighed. It was going to be a long day.

It was lunch for Coco. After ignoring the pointless Bling/Pink quarrel with the rest of his, friends it was finally lunch.After ignoring the pointless Bling/Pink quarrel with the rest of his, friends it was finally lunch. It was a normal lunch. Coco would go say "Hi." to Lotta, then sit back down and enjoy lunch with his friends. But today was different...

Coco was walking up to Lotta to say his usual " Hi." but today, Lotta was chatting with other neopets! This made Coco nervous. But he decided to go say hi anyways.

" Hi, Lotta." Coco said looking a frightened by the stares he was getting. " Lotta, who's this?" Sweets asked, her eyes hidden by shadows. " Oh! Right. Guys, this is my little brother, Coco." Lotta said cheerfully. " HI COCO!" Sweets, Yose, Luna, and Cece yelled. "Awwww! He's so cute, Lotta!" Yose sais while hugging Coco. " LET ME HUG HIM!" Sweets yelled. "GUYS!" Lotta yelled while setting Coco down. The three female neopets pouted.

"You can squeeze him again after you introduce yourselves." Lotta stated.

" ALRIGHT!" Sweets yelled.
" HI COCO! I'M SWEETS! LOTTA'S BEST FRIENBD!" Sweets yelled.

"Hi Coco, I'm Luna."
Luna said while patting Coco on the head.

" Hia Coco! I'm Yose!" Yose stated proudly.

" AND I'M...-" "

No one important." Pawprint cut off Cece.

"NO! I'M..." Cece stood up on the table...
" THE ALMIGHTY AND POWERFULL CECE!!!", Cece screamed causeing everyone in the cafeteria to stare at them. Coco and neopia's Known laughed. " Hey! Don't forget about us! " Hunter exclaimed. " Well, I'm Pawprint." "While I'm Hunter." And this is... "Hn." Mickey said err... mumbled? "Wow. Great new name, Mickey." Luna said saecasticly. Everyone not including Mickey, laughed. " The arrogant Blue Lupe over there, is Mickey." Lotta explained. " DON'T WORRY COCO! HE'S LIKE THAT TO EVERYONE!" Sweets proclaimed. " Be quiet, Sweets." Mickey stated, rather annoyed.

"WOW! He can talk!" Coco said. Everyone burst into laughter. Well, everyone exept Mickey. Once they were done with their... laughing, they noticed that everyone was stareing at them.
" Oh man, Coco!" Pawprint exclaimed. " You're A okay in my book!" Pawprint said. Coco smiled and walked back to his friends, who were totallly dumbstritcken at what just hapened.


" Hey! Don't forget about us! " Hunter exclaimed. " Well, I'm Pawprint." "While I'm Hunter." And this is... "Hn." Mickey said err... mumbled? "Wow. Great new name, Mickey." Luna said sarcasticly. Everyone Laughed. " Be Quiet, Luna." Mickey stated coldly. " Wow! He can speak!" Coco exclaimed. Everyone not including Mickey, burst into laughter. Coco smiled, waved and walked back to his dumbsrtuck friends.

Lotta looked down at the permission slip Mrs. Chiaku had just given out. " Now Class, I need these back in three days, alright? If you do not turn there slips in, you shall have to say here while the rest of the class goes." Mrs. Chiaku explained. " Yes Mrs. chiaku." the class anwsered. " Alright. It is now time for studyhall. You may go home, or you may..." Mrs. Chiaku didn't have to say another word. Neopia's Known stood up and walked towards the door. lotta quickly skimed the paper that was in her hand. Then she folded it up, and put it in her backpack. Getting up, Lotta quickly walked out of the classroom. " Hey, guys!" Lotta yelled over the noises of the hallway. " YEAH LOTTA?!" Sweets yelled back. " I'm going to pick up my little brother, drop him off with Stella, then I'll meet you guys in the park by the blossom." Lotta yelled over her shoulder. " Kay, Lotta! " Yose yelled back.
