I awoke to what I thought was the sound of my alarm clock. Then I realized what time it was-midnight. What I really woke up to was the sound of war. This had been going on for about a week now. Half of Neopia has been fighting day and night, night and day. I jammed my paws into my ears to try and drown out the noise. I could hear my sisters pet Meowclops, Vandifi, crying in her sleep. My sister was out there fighting. She sure was brave.
I scooped up Vandifi and my Snowbunny, Sugarbun, and placed them at the end of my bed. I comforted Vandifi and fell back asleep….
This time, I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. I yawned and climbed out of bed. I put on my school uniform and walked into the kitchen.
"Breakfast's ready, Fumboa!" My owner/best human friend told me.
"What's it today Ash?" I asked. I call her Ash, but her name is really Ashley. My stomach was growling.
"Bacon and toast!" She answered with her usual smile on her face. I groaned. It had been the same breakfast for almost a month now.
I sat down at the table and my two other siblings (who weren't fighting) and their petpets joined me. I quickly gulped down my breakfast and was out the door. I had to be careful, to avoid where Neopians were fighting. It looked gruesome out there. I hurried to school; afraid that someone might think I was part of the war. My best friend, who was an Aisha just like me, Strawberryspice was waiting for me on the school steps.
"I've been waiting forever Fumboa! We're going to be late!" She yelled at me.
"Sorry! I guess I got sidetracked..." And we walked to our homeroom class. We had five out of six classes together this year, and were happy about it. Mrs. Barkwood was lecturing us <I> again</I> about where to out commas in a sentence. I looked behind me. Jermy0280 was snoring. I snickered; think how he was going to get into trouble.
"Jeremy! Wake up this instant!" Roared Mrs. Barkwood.
"Uh… What're are we doing?" He asked sleepily. The class was laughing.

It was lunchtime. Potatoes and chicken, my favorite school lunch! I was about to sit down when Jessi59 came running into the cafeteria.
"Fumboa! Fumboa!" She yelled, "The principal wants to see you!" I hear some kids going "Ooh... someone's in trouble!" I got up and slowly walked to the principals' office. I turned the doorknob, my heart racing rapidly and entered.
"Sit down please, Fumboa." The principal said. Ashley was standing next to him. My sisters were standing with her. Their eyes were wet with tears.
"Fumboa. .. Fumboa, oh Snow's been captured!" Ashley managed to tell me before bursting into tears.
"What?! What do you mean captured?!" I asked.
"She's been captured by the Darigan army!" I was in total disbelief.
----
"When we got home, I ran, sobbing, up to my room and slammed the door.
"Vandifi! Snow's been captured!" I yelled at her, tears in my eyes. I could tell she didn't understand a word I said.
I threw myself onto my bed still sobbing. I felt helpless. I didn't know what to do. But right now, Snow was probably more helpless than I felt. I just had to do something to help my sister!
I leapt out of my bed, and started shoving things into my backpack. I was going to rescue my sister!
I ran out of the house and down he road. I stopped- I didn't know how in Neopia I was going to get to the flying Citadel!

Whatcha think about it? It's my 2nd story I've actully gotten up onto the computer.. Heh. (The next post will have the rest of it. It's over 5,000 words, so they wouldn't lemme post it!!
