"ShojuNani! Get ready for school!"
Sakurastar1 yelled down to me. I shook myself awake and the bright yellow, red, green and blue walls of my basement room came into view. As I yawned, I tried to remember why my stomach felt so topsy-turvy this morning. I stretched my dragon-like, Shoyru wings. As I crawled out of my green twin-bed, my large, brown eyes glanced at the calendar and I gasped. It read 8th day of Hiding, and circled in read ink in the box displaying the date, it said SHOJUNANI'S FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL !
I yelped in surprise. Sakurastar came rushing down the steps.
"ShojuNani! Is something wrong!" She looked at me, than at the calendar, and grinned. She kneeled down next to me and hugged my small body tightly.
"It all right…" she said soothingly. "You've got a charming personality. I don't know why anyone wouldn't want to be you friend. Besides, you're a great student! The teacher's will love you."
I giggled eccentrically. I knew Sakurastar loved me very much. She had worked up enough money to send me to the greatest private school in all Neopia, the Neopian Stars Beginning and Finishing Academy For Advanced Pets, or NSBFAFAP. She walked over to my large, iron drawer and rummaged through it for a small amount of time. Then she pulled out a small dark blue long-sleeve turtleneck with large ruffs, along with a matching skirt, and a matching hat. She also produced small Shoyru boots and a small, Shoyru-sized backpack, all the same deep, dark blue/navy color.
"OOOOOHHH!" I cried, expressing my amazement in a big way. Sakurastar1 helped me dress and then we walked upstairs.

Sakurastar and I walked down the street hand in hand.
Sakurastar1 looked as excited as I felt. We had arrived at Great Gates of Neopia. Beyond the gates I saw a large city concealed in the water. I also saw the smoke rings of a large volcano, not to mention a huge cloud floating overhead. There was a snowy-summit in the distance, and it looked like it had cracked pen, giving light to some newer world. Sand was also floating in immense clouds above an awesome desert.
I was scared. Where was the school of which I would step forth upon in a few hours?
I noticed that we were not the only ones positioned on the harbor of the Great Gates. More Neowners and their NeoPets were arriving. Even in the thick mist of the harbor, I could feel, as well as see the fear on their faces. They were all wearing the same uniforms as me, except the boys wore pants instead of skirts.
I saw one particular face next me to stand out from the crowd. It was a small yellow Chia, shivering most uncontrollably. I turned to the Chia.
"Hi! My name's ShojuNani! What's-"
The Chia burst into tears. Sakurastar didn't notice: she was too busy checking if our tickets were the correct ones for the trip.
"What's wrong?" I hissed under my breath.
"I-I-I-I-I'm sc-sc-scared!" he sniffed.
"Why?"
Be-because I was ab-ababab-abadoned*sniff*and m-my new owner's g-gonna do it again!"
I smiled at the Chia.
"You're new owner's not abandoning you." I said, smiling.
"She's-she's- not?"
No! She just sending you to a private school…you know…if she's staying in a hotel there, you'll see her all the time…."
The Chia smiled at me and held out a hand. "BrontoBite, but you can call me Bronto."
I smiled.
Sakurastar leaned down to me. "Hey, nice to see you've made a friend already!"
Suddenly, a loud droning noise interrupted their conversation. A ship was coming into the harbor.
My new-found friend and I clutched together as Sakurastar1 and his owner led us onto the ship.

Upon the ship, I encountered an enemy.
Sakurastar1 left me to do whatever I pleased as she browsed through the brochure FOR the NSBFAFAP. I trotted around with Bronto, exploring the ship to its fullest. That is, until, we ran into some trouble with capital T.
Bronto pointed to a door that stated "PRIVATE SUITES! KEEP OUT!"
"But Bronto!" I sputtered. "Can't you read?"
Bronto glared at me and replied, "No,of course not!" he said sarcastically,then added, "Of course I can!"
Then he opened the door, standing atop his toes.
We entered into what seemed like a long, dark hallway. We wandered down the hall, looking around suspiciously.
"There's nothing here…" I mused to Bronto.
He smirked. "That's 'cuse every body's in their rooms. He lead me over to a specific door with pink all over it. It had flashing pink lights connected to each side of the door. It had a poster on it, clearly stating the words: Samoshii the Uni's Room.
Bronto pushed open the door, and I have to admit, curiosity got me. I followed Bronto into the room.

I looked around and immediately discovered why the pronounce suites "sweets". Or is that the other one?
Well, anywho, the room was huge! There was a large canopy bed, and when Bronto sat on it, we discovered it was also an aqua bed, the envy of all NeoPets. Connected to the bed was a Jacuzzi, with about 20-25 taps. Also there was a humungus TV that took up the entire opposite wall of the bed.
Trampolines were stationed all over the room. I looked at Bronto. I knew that he couldn't resist either. We practically flew onto the Aqua-Bed and started to bounce up and down on it. I did a flip, Bronto did a double flip, I did a triple flip, and Bronto did a quadruple flip! Then we both flipped at the same time and landed SMACK on the Aqua Bed. That was a bad idea, because it split right in half, and water splashed all over the place.
"Uh oh….."
"You can say that again."
"Uh oh…."
"That wasn't funny, Bronty…"
And then, at the worst possible time, the door happened to open.
A Glass painted Uni that had obviously came out at the bad end of a Glass Pint brush was wearing obviously to much NeoGlow© makeup and Her owner, who looked just about the same gasped at the sight of the their now ruined suite.
At once, the Uni and her owner lunged at Bronty and I at the same time, shrieking threats. Bronty jumped on my back and my small but powerful dragon wings propelled up out of the room. The Uni and her owner sprinted after us. We zoomed through the door and, as I spotted Sakurastar1 talking to the ship captain, asking him if the food his chef had prepare was suitable for humans and NeoPets alike, Tiora, Bronty's owner, at her side.
Unfortunately, I had not mastered flying yet; that was one of the things I was going to school for, so we were headed towards a crash landing.
Bronty bolted off of my back and laded in Tiora's arms. Sakurastar1 caught me. She held me closely to her chest.
The Uni and her owner slowed to a halt and stood in front of Sakurastar1 and I.
"You make sure you and your filthy, disgusting NeoPets Keep away from my Grand Master Sweet… OR ELSE!
The owner stormed away, the Uni at her heels.
I had officially made a new enemy.
