Cera about to gasped when the door opened but was pulled against the wall so fast that all the got out was a "humph..." Her eyes grew wide and her heart started to race as the two pets slipped out of the area beyond the door. She hardly breathed while she watched them disappear into the darkness and jumped when Ara spoke, "What? Oh yeah..." She said and crept around the door and peered in, her curiosity getting the best of her.

((Nuh-uh, I pwn this page!  )) Ara led the way in, her big Xweetok eyes taking on night-vision. She shut the door behind Cera, but left it open a crack for when they would leave later. "Can you see in the dark?" she asked quietly. |

Cera's arms were outstretched and flopping around blindly in the air, "No, blind as a bat..." She whispered fumbling around until her eyes got slightly used to the dark. She kept one arm out so she would run into anything but all she could really see was faint outlines of big things, she couldn't see anything small....

((Psh, I know I pwn this page.  )) Arathyne saw her in her night's vision and took her hand. "Calm down," she said, "and let me lead you. Don't flail about." She began to walk in the darkness, taking Cera with her, and they appeared to be in a sort of hallway. A door - a real one, with a knob and everything - lay at the end. Cautiously, she turned the knob. It was locked. She cursed silently. "Stupid door is locked," she grumbled. She turned it again. Nothing happened. She banged her head with her fist, and decided to turn around and leave, but something told her to try again. So she tried the knob again, and as she turned it, it didn't stop, but kept turning, and she pushed it. It was unlocked now. Light flooded their eyes. It was a dim light, but it was good enough to see by. Arathyne's vision stayed in night vision to see details in the dim lighting. Neopets swarmed by the center, which had in its place a giant gray contraption that curved up toward the ceiling. Pink pets led the others into little slits in the contraption, and a glass barrier locked them in. There were buttons pushed and sharp zaps following, and then the pets exited the contraption a pink color. Ara put a finger to her lips to keep Cera quiet. She looked around for someplace to hide, beside their spot behind the door, which was open just a hair. She found two tall barrels not too far away, and so she looked around to find anybody who might be watching. She saw nobody; they were all focused on the contraption. Still leading her by her hand, she took Cera behind the two barrels and they crouched there, peering between the gap in between the two at the pets. ((Wow, super long post.  )) |

(( why pink??)) Cera followed Ara, feeling weird that they were holding hands but decided that it was for the best of things and it really didn't mean anything anyways. She watched as the machine zapped the pets pink, wondering why in the world would they want to be pink... Pink was a great color but why would everyone want to be pink? She was pink only because her mother was pink but her mother was painted that color not zapped... She followed Ara behind the barrels, "What's going on??" She whispered so quietly that she was afraid that even Ara wouldn't hear her. This was all very weird and she wanted some answers even if they weren't right... |

((*sigh* Because they're being turned into Meepit minions, and Meepits are pink. Gosh, Sarah.. get with the program.  lol)) Arathyne released her hand when they got behind the barrels. She had thought of it as no never mind and would probably feel awkward about it later, but the poor Bori couldn't see and it was better than shoving her or something. She heard her. "I don't know," she whispered back. "Looks like some sort of weird machine that changes your color, but... why pink?" She wrinkled her nose in disgust when she named the color. Then she remembered, and said quickly, "No offense." |

((ohhhhhhh, ok....))
She kept watching as the line of regular pets grew smaller as the group of pink pets grew bigger... "I have heard of a Lab Ray that randomly changed things about a pet, Sarah has one, but it doesn't look like this..." She said trying to fit the puzzle pieces together to make everything make sense in her mind.

"Yeah, I know the lab ray," Arathyne whispered. "Mom wanted to get it at first, to zap Trei into a Draik, but decided she didn't want to subject us to that kind of terror."
((And, Xweetoks are easier to draw than Draiks. ^_^))

Cera nodded, "Yeah we have a lab pet in our family but Sarah's reason for the lab ray is to make painted pets for people who can't afford it so I guess it is for a good cause..." She said wishing she didn't bring it up now because she felt like she had gotten Sarah a bad connotation... She continued to watch the pets turn pink until there were no more in the waiting line, "Now what...?" She asked wanting to go inspect the machine.
((lol Cera was zapped faerie... but shhhhh you didn't hear that from me))

"I don't -" She was about to say more, but two pink pets, a Kacheek and an Ixi, were walking straight toward them. She looked around for a new place to hide and found a little niche in the wall, able to hold both of them but just barely, that hid in the shadows and she could just barely make out. She beckoned for Cera to follow her into the niche, and she squeezed in as far back as she could go, folding back her wings to avoid crushing them.

Cera's eyes grew wide as she saw the pets coming toward them, she scrambled around and squeezed herself into the niche after Ara. The pets arrived and worked together to pick up one of the barrels, they grumbled and complained about something and placed the barrel by the machine then came back for the other one...

As the Kacheek and the Ixi came and went with the barrels, Arathyne felt something strange and tingly in the tip of her tail. It seemed to slowly spread as her fear of being caught grew at the same speed. Finally, she instinctively looked down at her tail, which she could've sworn was curled up around her legs in her mashed position. But it wasn't there. She could feel it, but it wasn't there. She attempted to look behind her, and when she looked back, the tail was there. She shivered. The tingly feeling was gone. She glanced over at Cera, who didn't seem to have noticed.
The pets took the barrels and opened a hole into the top of one with a knife. Steam blew out of the top, and the Ixi pressed a button, opening a hole in the machine, before going to help the Kacheek pour the contents of the barrel into the hole. Steam flooded the hole.

Cera felt Ara moving and looked over at her, "What are you doing?" She whispered but even her little whisper echoed and seemed louder in the crevice... The Kacheek's ear twitched and he looked over in their direction. Cera tried to squeeze herself farther into the cave but she couldn't.
"What?" the Ixi asked the Kacheek.
"Did you hear that?" the Kacheek asked taking a step in their direction.
Cera tried hard not to even breath, afraid that it would be heard, and waited for the pets to either find them or forget about them...
