Here it is. The short story I was going to write. I finally got it done while I was sick. X.x
I'd like to apologise to felabba and poy222. I couldn't find a way to fit your pets in.
"Ugh...I can't believe it's Monday all ready. More spotlight auditions to drudge through." Adam, one of the creators of Neopets, grumbled as he walked into the auditorium where the auditions were to take place. His companion Donna merely nodded in agreement, as she entered. Every Monday and Friday, they sat through audition after audition of neopets who thought themselves good enough to win the Pet Spotlight competition. They took their seats behind a table, and prepared for a grueling day of auditions.
"Entrant number one for the day, please come out." Donna called out. They waited for a few seconds before she called again. Both of them could faintly here a voice ask 'is that me?' before being pushed onto the stage by their backstage assistant. A rainbow-colored Meerca came stumbling out and tripped over himself.
"Hi there. My name is LtKettch; everyone just calls me Kettch, though. I'm a rainbow-colored Meerca."
"We're not blind." Adam muttered so only Donna could hear him.
"I should win the Pet Spotlight because I'm the ownzorest--"
"Ownzorest? Please speak like an educated pet. Cut out the slang." Adam said, disgustedly.
"Okay. The best neopet ever. It all started when I was bitten by a--"
"NEXT!" Adam and Donna both cried out.
"But I wasn't d--" Kettch started to whine, before he was tackled and drug off stag by a big Mynci stagehand.
"Thanks Bob." Donna said in appreciation. She shuddered at the though of having to sit through another one of those stories again.
The next entrant, a faerie Kougra, flew out onto the stage.
"Heyas. My name is Pandyra. I'm the prettiest, and most beautiful pet in all of Neopia." The kougra told them. "Wouldn't you agree?" She asked, as she took out a gold mirror to admire herself in.
"I don't think I've even seen a Uni more vain than you." Adam said rather bluntly.
"Yes, we have, Adam. Remember about a month ago?"
"Oh yeah. That one golden Uni..."
"Hello? I'm still up here you know."
"Heh. Remember when she...?"
Yeah! And we...?"
"HELLO?"
"Oh. You're still here." Adam commented. "You can go now."
"Did I win?"
"Of course not. Goodbye now." Donna answered, and called in the next neopet. A cloud-colored Draik flew out, performed a couple aerial acrobatics, and landed gracefully. Adam and Donna a little impressed, and hoped they'd found the winner all ready.
"Hey there. My name is JadePaw. As you can see, I'm a cloud-colored Draik and I'm as graceful in the air, as a cloud is." At this, she performed a few more stunts.
"That's very good. Any other qualities that you have?"
"Well, I like Tchea Fruits. What does that have do with anything? Because I can also juggle them!" JadePaw produced three Tchea Fruits, and began to juggle them. Everything was going well until she lost control and they flew out of her hands, landing on Adam and Donna's heads.
"Next, please." Adam said disdainfully, while wiping Tchea Fruit gunk off his head. A rainbow-colored Pteri waddled in.
"Hi Adam. Hi Donna. My name is FuzzyFluffBird. I should win this because I was in the Neopian Times once, and in the best story ever published." The Pteri squeaked. Adam and Donna just looked at each other.
"Right. Anything else?"
"I like swords..." The Pteri started.
"NEXT!" Donna cried out, imagining what could go wrong with a juggling swords act. A large, scary looking Halloween Lupe trudged out onto the stage.
"Greetings." He said in a freaky, deep voice. "My name is Udgeon. The reason I should win is because I can sing. Ohhhhhh yeah." With that, the Halloween went into a song-and-dance number of an old Sinatra song.
"I'm speechless." Donna stated, when he was done.
"Well, I'm not. No. Goodbye." Adam said, getting really annoyed. It was one of those days again. "Next."
For once, today, two pets came onto stage at the same time. A female, yellow Gelert and a male, green Lupe.
"Hi. I'm Aliecia." The Gelert told them.
"And I'm MaxCanine." The Lupe put in. "The reason we should both win the Spotlight is--"
"Wait. I thought I was going to tell them!" Alie exclaimed.
"Nuh uh."
"Uh huh."
"Nuh uh."
"Uh huh."
"Nuh uh."
"Uh huh."
"I don't think so."
"I know so."
"I do--"
"Both of you: I don't think so. Go. Now." Adam stopped the sibling rivalry.
"Next" Donna said. Both were beginning to fear the day would never end. The next entrant, a baby Grarrl, crawled (literally) onto the stage.
"Hi. My name is Dig_The_Disco. I should win 'cause I can cwoon like famous singahs.
"Ah ah ah ah, staying awive, staying awive." The baby Grarrl began to sing and do a disco dance. She was interrupted shortly by a loud thump. Adam had begun to pound his head on the table.
"Oh my..." was all Donna could manage at the sight.
"Tank you." Dig said.
"It wasn't a compliment." Came Adam's muffled voice. "Please go. Now."
Another entrant, a plain green Aisha, trotted out on the stage.
"Hi..." she started to say.
"You win." Donna interrupted her.
"What?"
"You win." Adam repeated.
"What? How?" The confused Aisha asked.
"We're tired. We want to leave. You win. Fill this biography sheet out and get it back to us." Donna told the Aisha, as Bob the Mynci handed the sheet to the Aisha.
"Is this how it's normally done?"
"Sometimes. We're leaving now, before we change our minds." Adam told her. Adam and Donna got up and left, the Aisha walked away, whistling happily. Bob the Mynci stagehand started to turn off the lights. He was stopped by a voice calling out.
"Adam! Donna! I'm back! Give me another chance!" LtKettch the rainbow Meerca came hurdling out onto the stage on a unicycle, juggling some fuzzles. Unfortunately, Kettch wasn't very skilled with juggling or unicycles. He plowed right into Bob, sending himself to the floor, while Bob, the unicycle, and the fuzzles flew upwards, and landed on top of Kettch.
"Ouch." Was all Kettch could manage.
I'd like to apologise to felabba and poy222. I couldn't find a way to fit your pets in.
