This was WAAAAAAAAAY too much fun. I want to finish this! I think this is my longest word war result in like, ever. 723 words. While my Neopets were playing and training with one another, I was at the bottom of the ocean hunting for treasure. My eyes never moved from their closed state. The water was cool and seeped through my wetsuit and I breathed steadily, almost as if I was dreaming. I opened up a treasure chest, the bubbles trapped with them escaping from my childish grasp. I stared at the dancing bubbles as they made their way to the surface.
Grinning, I reached into the weathered chest and held up a large sapphire as big as my face. I had never seen anything more in tune with nature: so wonderfully blue like the sea I was in, so large as to allow me to gaze upon it more, so light I nearly had to hold it down lest it, too floated to the surface.
After staring at it for several seconds, I heard a distant voice scream my name. I fought to keep the beautiful scenery from slipping away into the ghostlike abyss of my inner thoughts. The sapphire felt even lighter in my hands, and I grasped it tighter, trying to raise it above my head.
"Cassie!" Oh, now I could really hear it. I wanted to retrieve the sapphire and head to the surface before anything else could hap--
The door burst open, and a bubbling journalist sporting long yellow locks flounced in. I groaned. It wasn't that I didn't like Kristy, but she had a tendency to bring chaos with her. Whether or not it was intentional, I didn't know.
"Cassie!" She practically pounced on the overstuffed couch I was napping on. "What...?" I mumbled blearily. I was in no mood for shenanigans. Unfortunately, shenanigans was practically her middle name.
"Nothing."
"Are you serious?!" I straightened in the chair, more awake. "Didn't Protector tell you I was sleeping? You really woke me up for 'nothing'?" I could not believe my friend. Apparently she really did like to torment me.
"Oh, your Ogrin likes marshmallows. He told me where you were. Anyways, it's not really nothing. I just wanted to talk to you about your article." I was more awake now. "What about my article? Which one?" I was hoping she was talking about my interviews with the lesser-known queens and princesses across Neopia. That had been incredibly fun to write, especially with Protector by my side to carry me and well, protect me.
"I actually have a bit of critique for you." Her voice became serious. Oh, great. I was strong enough to take constructive criticism most of the time, but my head pounded, still partially asleep. If I refused her help, though, she might drag me on one of her famous misadventures, and I didn't want to do that again after helping her deliver Jhudora's earrings for her birthday. "What is it?" I asked, bracing myself.
"Never, ever, ever tell your readers you're scared to interview someone." She thrust the article in my face, with the line (FIND LINE FROM 634!) circled in bright red marker. The Weekly World journalist was just like an English teacher. Eesh. "What can I do to fix that?" I asked her, already dreading the answer and sinking deeper into the chair.
She laughed a very musical laugh, but I could have sworn it had a hint of evil in it. "Why, we interview Kastraliss! I'll lead, and you follow and take notes, and, hopefully, we can write our own articles about him. Sound good?" She practically batted her eyelashes to try and get me to agree.
I valued my life. I was not to be swayed once more! "Er, wait," I stalled. "How about we interview someone else?" I paused, thinking.
"I've got it!" I leaped up as though an idea had poked me right through the seat of the chair. "We should totally interview Taelia! I used to do quests for her when I was a little girl!" Thank Fyora. Taelia had indeed been a good friend of mine, even though I hadn't seen her for years.
An unusually vexed look plastered itself on Kristy's face as she leaned dangerously close to my face, glowering at my suggestion.
"No."
I shrunk back even deeper so that all one could see were my legs and hands poking out of its plush surface. "Okay," I squeaked.

I'm so pushy. I'm also good at bribing people after living with my Neopets. XD |

Anybody up for a war in about half an hour or so?
If not, I'm going to get back in my pajamas, slip under the covers, and play old video games. I may be back later tonight after dinner.
