After the new guidelines, I'm making one last short story about Dark Night. Here it is.
From the Case Files of Dark Night: Dark’s Last Day
By 2hot4u181
I sighed and looked slowly out of my window. There wasn’t a cloud in sight. It was a perfect day.
I suppose it seems stupid, but buiness had been slowly lately. I really hated slow buiness. I sighed and nudged Blue slightly, knowing that I’d rather take the day off than sit here bored. Blue starred at my blankly.
“Meep.”
“I know Blue, it’s been boring. I do wish for a case to escape this boredom,” I sighed leaning my head down on my desk attempting to take a nap. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
“Come in,” I sighed miserably. No one came in, but a slip of paper was pushed under the door. I got up and read it slowly.
“Dear Dark Night,
Due to certain issue with Neopets Headquarters, we are sad to report that you must now close your private investigations office. With all due respect
-The Neopets Team”
I stood transfixed in a state of shock. “Leave? My office?”
“Meep?” Blue asked, cocking his head.
“I… can’t solve crimes anymore,” I shook my head slightly. “What list of rules does THIS come from?”
A slip of paper I hadn’t noted fell out. “No thefts”.
“Oh this is great!” I sighed. “Take all the fun out of it!”
Blue looked at me.
“Blue, we gotta close down. There’s nothing we can do. I’m out of a job.”
“MEEP?!?!”
“Yeah, I know. The Neopets Team. Crime ain’t allowed. That means no income Blue,” I sniffled a bit.
Blue meeped sadly. I couldn’t help but cry a bit.
“What a miserable place Blue,” I sniffled. “We’ll get through this though. Just like we get through everything.”
“Meep.”
“Don’t doubt me Blue. It’s not the time,” I muttered as I slowly began to pack away my things in a box. Blue starred at me.
“Don’t give me that look Blue. It’s just as hard on me!”
“Meep.”
“I’m sure Megz will understand. I always did like the girl, even if she was a bit off her rocker.”
“Meep!”
”Oh shush you ball of wool!” I grumbled as I placed my last thing into the box. I sighed and stood around, starring at the empty office, everything down to the walls were bare.
I approached the coat tree and slipped my trench coat on, then my fedora. I slowly walked out of the door, Blue walking with me. I took one last glance around the office, sadly. It was a dark day… and yet, I felt that the worst was yet to come.
The End
Note: This is my last piece for the Neopian Times. I’m sorry to say that it has taken a turn for the worst, and Dark can no longer comply with its restraints. Thanks to everyone’s support. I can say these past weeks of being published have been my best.
