Twinkle's Story: Chapter 4

We must of been hugging for a while because suddenly we heard a knock on the door. Duke and I stop hugging, and I take a step, my back to the curtain. My parents and Miss Fox open the curtain, and they come over to where Duke and I are. The door of my temporary room opens, and there my doctor is. Doctor Fox.

 Honestly, I think Dr. Fox is a nerd. He doesn't have the nerdy glasses or anything; it just is.

  He speaks- oddly. Dr. Fox is Miss Fox's older brother though, and I have to respect him as much as my teacher. Also because he is my doctor who can keep me alive- or kill me.

The rest of us sit down among chairs spread around the room as Dr. Fox walks (almost marches) to the center of the room where we are. He observes all of us- from Duke at the closest to the door to Miss Fox at the other end. He kinda bows his head and nods. First, he speaks with Miss Fox. "Hello sister. How are you?" I look at her. She rolled her eyes as she said, "Fine. I'm fine, brother. Now stop giving all your attention to me, and start telling us what happened to Twinkle and what precautions she should take." Dr. Fox sighs, "Oh of course. My bad." He makes a weird sound- almost a laugh. "What I'm about to tell Twinkle and her parents is private information. Anyone who is not related to Twinkle, I kindly ask you to step out of the room for a moment please. You too, sister." It doesn't matter because Miss Fox whipped her tail as she headed out of the room, probably because she can't stand her brother.Then as Duke gets up from the chair, I make a purposed cough. Dr. Fox turns his head to me. "Well, what is it?" I look at Duke who is halfway standing up, halfway sitting down. He looks confused and looks at me too. I give him a look, but I'm not sure he understands it. I stammer, "Well, uh... doc- I mean doctor! Does he... uh Duke... have to umm leave? I know he isn't part of my family but still. Can he please stay? He's not doing anything wrong or anything-" My doctor interrupts me and replies, "May. May, not 'can'. And no, Duke can't stay here. I'll be discussing vital information to you, and I bet it would make you feel uncomfortable if he stays." I think to myself, 'You know what? You are making me uncomfortable! Such a grammar freak, geez.' I lose my train of thought when Duke stands up again. Since he's next to me, he whispers in my ear. "It's okay. Twinkle. I'll go just step out into the hall. Be strong when Dr. Fox tells you the news." With a puzzled look in my eyes, Duke pats my shoulder and heads out of the room.

Now it just leaves Dr. Fox, my parents, and me in the room. Dr. Fox sighs as he reaches up into a cabinet and pulls out a folder with my name on it.

 He carries it toward us and opens it. I see a kinda anxious look in his eyes. He pulls out a paper from the folder. I see it has tons of stuff written over it, and areas of light orange, white, light blue, ice blue, lavender, purple, and black. Dr. Fox sits down on a chair, now facing my parents and I who are now next to me.

 Dr. Fox clears his throat and begins. "Ah now you're wondering. How did Twinkle suddenly get blue fur? She was light orange, a typical fox fur color, before. Well, let me explain. Twinkle was at Zios' grave, sitting dangerously close to it, especially when it was at a high phantom rate- Mira knows why she stayed. More phantoms come indicating on the color in the grave. Light purple or lavender means a phantom is occasionally here or there. A darker purple means that phantoms are forming into close groups. A dark gray or black means lots of phantoms are formed together in one close group. Their chemistry forming clouds of dust-like material, which are dark gray or black when they're close to each other. The darker the color is, the more phantoms there are, basically.

  Twinkle with her orange fur couldn't deal with the pressure of the blackness of the phantoms, which caused her to pass out, which caused her to be brought to the hospital. The mixture of orange and white with black and purple made Twinkle's fur now seem to be blue and lighter blue. And yes, I know orange and black doesn't make light blue, and that white and purple doesn't make ice blue. Twinkle's body functions have caused that to happen due to her skin cells that indicate the color her fur is.

 It is permanent, so you can say it has changed Twinkle's DNA. However, the sudden change has made her body weak. Therefore, she'll have to wear some special accessories." Dr. Fox comes over to me and gives a small area on my tail a slight pinch. Usually, that wouldn't cause me to yowl, but that did. It wasn't because of me giving my tail a slight tug before, I'm sure. I give him a hey-why-did-you-do-that-for look. I rub my sore area, but it just makes it hurt even more. "Exactly. Twinkle's tail is weak, for example. So I will put this on her tail so she won't feel so much pain everywhere she goes. Don't worry, it's all new and all hers." My doctor pulls out an odd shaped clothing piece that looks like it's made of metal and is heavy. He explains to me that that's a tail protective piece, and since my tail hurt the most, he is putting it on first.

Dr. Fox holds up my tail. Now my tail isn't hurting as badly. He opens up the tail piece, and puts my entire tail inside. He closes it again on the bottom. My tail droops. My tail is heavy! The pressure of it against my tail hurts a little, but it slowly ebbs away. I lift my tail up higher, and trace a claw on its smooth round areas and the cracks in it.  So unnatural, like my fur color.   Then, Dr. Fox pulls out something else for me to wear too.   "I  knew we shouldn't have allowed her to go on that field trip!" My mother cries in my father's ear.  "That awful place has affected our family too much. Fauna dying there, and now Twinkle having to deal with this too. Such tragedy of our once perfect little group- now lost." My father says, "Ah yes. I guess only allowing Twinkle to go out in the public to go to school, isn't good enough. We have to make more restrictions to keep her safe."  They just made me furious.  I stand up and glare at the two of them.  "Such parents you are! Trapping me even more- what's next? You taking away my freedoms? No public school with Miss Fox? It was an accident! No families are perfect. If you two can't deal with me being even more different now, then just GET OUT OF HERE!!! And don't bother me again." Me, filled with rage, kick both my parents out of the room. Dr. Fox just stands there, astonished. I wonder how Miss Fox and Duke will react. Duke. I think about him again. If my parents steal even more from me, how am I able to see Duke? If it's narrowed down to that, then sneaking out might be the only option.

Twinkle's Story: Chapter 3

I didn't know how long I've been asleep. When I woke up and opened my eyes, I saw I was laying down in a bed. In an unfamiliar place. In Kimbara Outback's Medical Center. Did someone take me here? What happened? I saw a light blue blanket on the bed, and I tried to knock it off me.

 As I tried to put the blue blanket off me, I yowled in pain. But how? My tail hurt very badly. I swished my tail around to see why. There was no light blue blanket. I yanked my tail. My tail is light blue. I finally went out of my bed to see if I was blue anywhere else. When I saw parts of my paws were blue, I ran to the sink to see if the blueness would just wash off. Nope.

 I ran to the bathroom which was out of my room, just down the hall. I looked in a mirror, then another, then another. Instead of a light orange topcoat, I now have a light blue topcoat. Instead of a white underbelly, I now have an ice blue underbelly. I'm a blue fox.

 I started thinking of questions and explanations, but none came. Is this permanent? Were the purple and black things near Zios' grave, phantoms? Did they do this to me? I was terrified; I couldn't answer any of them. I started to freak out. I punched the mirror I was currently staring at; it left a dent. As I left the bathroom to go back into my hospital bedroom, tears started coming. There's always something that makes me different than other foxes. Now that 'something' is more obvious than ever. Why did this have to happen to me!?

I sighed as I pushed open the door to my temporary (I hoped) room.

 Instead of me being the only one there before, there were other foxes. One of them was Duke.  I growled under my breath at him. "Why are you here? To laugh at me because I got injured on a class field trip? To make me feel even more miserable than I already am?" Was I even injured? Was blue fur considered an injury? A rare type of disease? I couldn't even begin wondering what blue fur is. Duke didn't show any signs of me being correct. He just stared at me; not in a way of mockery, but of a serious expression. This was unlike the Duke I knew- or thought I knew.

 I sighed, "Seriously, Duke, why are you here? In my room? Did you want to see me?"

Duke finally answered me. "Yes, I came to see you, Twinkle. On the field trip, I looked back and saw you weren't with us. Then I saw you lying down next to Zios' grave. Twinkle, you barely looked conscious." He moved his head to the side, so he no longer looked straight at me. Duke continued. "I screamed to you to run for your life. I thought you would be a goner Twinkle, and... and I don't think I can live with you gone. I can't live without you, Twinkle."

I didn't fall for whatever jokes Duke could be playing at. However, I sensed none from the popular fox in front of me. Being frustrated at him, at myself, I yelled back at him. "What are you doing, Duke? Seriously, I mean it. I'm obviously not dead, and I obviously know you didn't think that about me. You might of been the one who screamed at me to run, but that's it. Pretending that you love me all of a sudden? Duke, I'm not that stupid! You love Sparkle- not me! What, did you guys break up or something? So pathetic that you wanted me to be your new date?"

Duke looked hurt when I said that. "Oh my Zios, Twinkle! Sparkle and I would never date. Ever. She's my cousin! I don't know how we were put in the same class. She comes close to me just to talk- she knows me the best. I'll admit, Sparkle can be bossy at times..." 'Ya think!' I thought. "... but she can be very shy at times, too.

 If I were to date any girl fox in the class, it would be you, Twinkle. The world even. This isn't because you're suddenly injured and... uh... blue. It's because you're different somehow- in a good way. To me, it's like you can take on anything."

 Wait, was Duke referring to the fox and arctic wolf battle at the Temple of Zios where my sister, Fauna died?

 "I really mean it, Twinkle. I really did worry about you. All of what I said is true. Twinkle, I called 911 to send you to the hospital. I had to. You looked very sick, and I was the closest one nearby.

 Miss Fox came a little later- she also saw you there. She had to cancel the rest of the field trip and dismiss everybody. You must of been mystified or something because we walked away from the grave due to phantoms floating out of it. I don't know why we didn't drag you away from there.

Well when Miss Fox arrived, she also called your parents. She told me they were so worried, that your parents sprinted to the hospital and were finally relieved when they saw you in a hospital bed- sleeping, alive." I then realized on the opposite side of the room were Miss Fox and my parents. They couldn't hear our conversation because a wall curtain cut us off from them. Duke added, "Oh yeah. Twinkle, the reason you didn't see us when you woke up seeing yourself blue is because we thought you would continue to be sleeping. Your parents, Miss Fox, and I left your room to go have a snack at the hospital cafeteria.

 Then we obviously returned seeing you weren't here. Miss Fox was talking to your parents, and told them you were probably in the bathroom or something- and you were. Besides us going to get a snack, we stayed with you in this room. Silently seeing if you're okay or not."

Duke can never lie as far as this. I believe him, every word he said. I say, "Whoa, Duke. You did all of this, and... for me? Aww thank you. Thanks for possibly saving my life." I giggle quietly, then rush over and hug Duke.

It seems I haven't done "The Cute Pup of the Day" for a while now. I missed so many adorable puppies! >.< Congrats to Charlie the Shar Pei Mix, today's Cute Pup of the Day! :D From: DailyPuppy.com

Pet Cheetahs are available in the Diamond Shop! They used to be on clearance-not anymore it seems. O.o I adopted one, he's so fluffy! :3 Here's my pet cheetah: <3

Some weird AJHQ 'news' still on my computer. This sign is still up. Since Friday night! I had to go on the new Daily Explorer website to be able to log in AJ today. My badge also changed from a star to a usual paw print, and I logged in as my arctic wolf when I swore I was logged out as my fox. I changed animals, and my badge changed back to a star. None of my stuff got taken or anything. Weird. What da heck AJ! Did this happen to any of you?!

Also, a few days ago, one of my buddies quit. Gray player card (you can obviously see). I met her when she was on the Epic Dens list last summer. That den was pretty epic (not like some "Epic Dens" that are completely empty), I remember there were a ton of raccoon plushies. :3 I still can't believe she buddied me because her den was always pretty full that day. I was reading "SkyClan's Destiny" then, so me being obsessed with "Warrior Cats", I kept on saying that. XD Then she became nonmember and eventually quit, I guess.

Moving on with the news! Water Park dens are back in the Den Shop! I bought one last year. Here's what mine looks like. My den is currently unlocked, so you can check out my den! :)

I think the new Adventure is going to be an Eagle Adventure! There's a feather, and there's an eagles-only area in the Adventure Base Camp. So that's what I infer about the new Adventure coming out.

Also, the "My Settings" tool changed a bit. There's now a new way to change servers and a doorbell thing. I haven't tried that out yet. Do you guys like the new additions? Does this doorbell work for you? And yes, today I have 84 membership days remaining. :P

There's also a new puzzle in the Jamaa Journal. I completed it, and I think it's a hyena. Lol everybody else thinks that too. ^-^ Here's the unfinished puzzle, so there are no spoilers if you haven't done the puzzle yet. =^.^= 

Oh no! My buddy list is 'glitching' again! I can't scroll through my buddy list! DX This happened to me so many times before lol. Did this ever happen to you before? Sorry I can't really buddy you since my buddy list is full (100/100) and my list is almost always full. AJ seriously needs us to be able to have more buddy spaces. :T

Have a grreat day Jammers, and peace out!! (This pic was taken when I was still a nonmember.)

Twinkle's Story: Chapter 2

We were walking for what seemed like ages. Until finally we arrived. I didn't know my class stopped walking until I bumped into the fox in front of me. Sparkle. "Hey!" she said, glaring back at me. "Watch where you're going!" "Uh.. sorry?" I mutter, hanging my head down. However, Sparkle didn't care; she whipped her glossy red tail around and moved closer to Duke. Sparkle started whispering in his ear, and he nodded slowly. Then Miss Fox comes toward us, stomping her foot, ordering us to stop. I roll my eyes, they don't have to make such a big idea out of nothing!

Miss Fox tells us to move closer to Zios' grave site. I grin when I hear Sparkle complain, "Oh come on! This is disgusting! Eww!" as she stepped in some snake poop. Miss Fox looks to the back of the class (where Sparkle and I are) and then to the entire class again. We sit around the grave as we look at it. Then Miss Fox begins her lecture about how this is important to learning Jamaasian culture. "Zios created life to our land, Jamaa with help of a majestic bird. Do you know who?" Miss Fox begins. A fox raises his paw and answers, "The majestic bird is Mira, a Blue Heron. Mira is our Sky Mother, and Zios is our Sky Father." He is one of the smartest in my class, always answering a question correctly right away. Miss Fox speaks again but doesn't stop this time. "Make observations, class. And yes, you're right, that's Mira. Zios has made all of us. He created foxes to walk around this town of ours. He created every living thing in fact. He made Jamaa have hot deserts, to  swampy forests, to cold mountains in the tundra. Zios made us have adaptations to live on every different habitat of Jamaa." I stared into Zios' grave. I wasn't paying attention to Miss Fox blabber on about Jamaa's history. I already heard it a million times already. Time must of passed by because when I finally paid attention again, Miss Fox concluded, "When Zios died here, Mira was so broken-hearted that she cried tears of sadness and anger onto his dead body. When her tears hit the dust covering Zios' body, they turned into phantoms. Mira panicked and tried covering up the body by making a grave, but the phantoms stayed attached to his body." I lose sense of my surroundings and continue to stare at the hole in the earth, Zios' grave. I suddenly see a light purple mist getting darker as every second passes by. Now it's black. I know I should go away from the grave, but I stay. I cough followed by several more coughs. I cover my mouth with a paw, but it doesn't stop. I fall down and almost fall asleep. Not yet, though. My mind is fuzzy and my head dizzy.

I look back to where I am and notice something. Miss Fox isn't here, neither is the rest of my class. "Wha-" I start, confused. "Come on Twinkle..." I hear a voice that sounds like Miss Fox's; I'm not sure anymore. Then a new voice. "Get away from there Twinkle! Now!" But before I can get up and catch up with my class, my eyes see never ending darkness. I close my eyes.
