Hello, I am BeatofSaint01 the Scorchio. My real name is Bruce. To the dismay of everyone (particularly Antoinette) I am a supporter of Darigan, and I think that it's ABOUT TIME Darigan has a game (Cellblock) and a PetPet Battledome (Antoinette even broke down and admitted that the petpet battledome was a good idea! Ha-ha ha ha-ha!). More! I demand. More! Meridell did steal from Darigan, after all. Apart from loving debating Meridell/Darigan with Antoinette, I also love Reading and Learning. In fact, that's what I'll do now. Byyyyyeeeeee.

Now I have a PetPet, Robert the Scado. He isn't very nice. He yells all the time. And I still want a SPOPPY!!! Blanche has an Abominable Snowball. All of us have PetPets now.

I hate being sick. We were in the Lost Desert, collecting our 52NP from one VERY bad-played round of Pyramids (Kaiulani the Angelpuss can earn nearly as much as that!) when...well, it was sorta a wave. opalgirl26 cried, (especially to Anita who was going ON about how GREAT she was at Pyramids) "oh, shut up! Bruce has come down with NeoMites!" Kaiulani and Anita backed away. Thomas and Blanche were just in shock. "Don't just stand there!" opalgirl26 cried. She was getting VERY angry. "Get him to the Hospital, Neopia Central!" she commanded. I only had 8 hit points (well, 8/11, and that's not TOO bad but I prefer being on 11 24/7). She picked me up (at the risk of her OWN health, I suppose) and we quickly but not too quickly hurried to the Hospital to find the cure. That sad Uni was as sad as always, but for once I didn't notice! opalgirl26 lay me down as she went to find the list of cures. Anita and Blanche went with her, but Thomas, as instructed, cared for me.
I was supposed to lie still but those dratted lurgees (um, mosquitoes or lice equivalent, I think) made me itchy and I (oh gasp) SCRATCHED. That nice Gelert Doctor came over. "Now young man," he told me, "don't scratch like that. It will only make it worse. "I -" (scratch) "- can't -" (scratch "- help -" (scratch) "- it!" (SCRATCH!) "Oh, BeatofSaint01!" he shouted/laughed. Then he went on to tell me that opalgirl26 had gone for the marketplace 2 blocks away to find a NeoMites injection. Anita & Blanche and the 2 petpets joined. Thomas, being Thomas, had taken his allowance of 15NP per week to try his luck at Poogle Solitaire.
I was alone.
I fell asleep after awhile. (opalgirl26 BETTER be having a hard time finding the cure!) It was hard. I dreamt ... well, it was awful. I dreamt that opalgirl26 was dropping me off at the Adoption Center with Dr_Death. That would be the second cruel owner I'd had. I woke up at some point, cured! Kaiulani jumped for joy. She purred. (She hardly ever does.) Thomas only got 400NP from Poogle Solitaire.
I had a talk to opalgirl26 not long after. She was teary. I explained to her how Anita and Thomas have PetPets, and I don't, and how my brother and sisters all seem more important. "Oh, Bruce." She began carefully. "I plan to get you a PetPet soon, but, dear, we're going through a rough spot. We used to earn more money than we spent, which went to the bank. However, since Anita was blessed by the Air Faerie, we've lost almost 5 000NP. To some owners it's, 'who cares?' but to us - who only had 10 000NP to begin with - it's a lot." "Yes, but why don't you care for me?" "Darling, do you REALLY think I got you from the Pound just so I could abandon you?" she asked, hugging me. "Oh no! I adopted you so I could cherish you. There have been hard times, but maybe we'll get through them soon."
