My story begins in Old Maraqua, where I was a member of a flotsam pod. Yes, that's right. I started out as a flotsam which means I wouldn't be counted in the official number of ixi.

My parents where royal flotsams and the leaders of our pod. I had so much fun and I was loved by everyone in the pod. Life was great.

Then one day, it all went away...

One day a whirlpool appeared. The same whirlpool that destroyed Old Maraqua. I got sepperated from my pod that day. I didn't know if they're still alive...

I spent the next few months trying to find them. I probably swam all over the ocean, but they were nowhere to be found...

One day I returned to Old Maraqua. The place was in ruins, except for the under water fishing area. I "lived" there for a couple months. I liked it there. There was so many tasty fish to eat! The only thing I had to worry about were those giant squids I occasionally encountered.

Then one day, while I was trying to catch a tasty breadfish, I saw something floating in the water. It was a doughnut. I've heard of them, but I never tasted one before. I bit it, then suddenly it started to pull away. The more I pulled, the more it pulled forward. Then suddenly, I was pulled out of the water!

Apparently, the doughnut was attached to a fishing line. I looked and saw a shoyru holding the fishing rod the doughnut was attached to. "Jula! Jula!" the shoyru shouted. "Look at the fish I caught! Then a blue acara appeared. "That's no fish!" She said. "That's a flotsam!" Jula picked me up and said "What are you doing here?" I then told her everything. The pod...the whirlpool...everything. Then Jula asked if I needed a place to stay. I said yes, and they took me home with them.

Jula and Deny took me to their neohome. It was a lovely neohome on the shores of Mystery Island. There I met their owner, Sarah, and her other pets. They were so nice to me. While I was there they kept me in the bathtub. And when I wanted to go somewhere with one of them I was carried in a fishbowl in a wagon.

Because I was an an aquatic petpet, the places I could go to was limited. I wish I could go everywhere with them...

One day, Sarah came home with some groceries and something for me. It was a potion. An Ixi Morphing Potion. Except it had a pearl necklace around the neck of the bottle and it seemed to glow. Sarah told me she got it for me so I could keep up with my siblings. I took the bottle and asked "Sarah, could I go swimming at the beach? Since i'm gonna be a land pet, I think i'll go swmming for one last time."

Sarah took me down to the beach. I told her i'll be back by sundown, and she went back home. I decided to go near Maraquan. To see if I could find my pod. I still couldn't find them. While I was there i found some starfish earings.

I then swam back to the beach. The full moon was out. I looked back at the water, then I drank the morphing potion. It had a sort of a fruity taste.

Then I felt my body changing. My fins dissapeared and legs appeared in their place. My sleek body became covered with fur. My dorsal fin and the horn on my head dissapeared too. I was an ixi. Well, at least I could now walk on land.

Something Has Happened!
	You are now eligible to use Magical Kauvara as an avatar on the NeoBoards! (Well, at least I got an avatar out of the deal.)

That was the last time I went swimming. Or so I thought...

One day I was playing in the backyard with my siblings. We were having a water balloon fight. Then I got hit with a water balloon. Suddenly a funny feeling came over me. The same feeling I felt when I drank that potion. My legs dissapeared and my old flotsam tail appeared in their place. My dorsal fin and horn appeared too.

Aqua!" Jula said in astonishment. "What happened?" I looked at my body and said "I don't know..."

You think that's strange? what's even stranger is that when I dried off, I turned back to normal. I don't know why that happens. It must have been a side-effect of that potion.

But I saw this as a great opportunity. I could go swimming again! Every day I would walk down to the beach and go swimming. To see if I could find my pod.

One day, I found my mother. I swam towards her and shouted "Mom!" She looked at e and said "Aqua? Is that you? My, how you've changed!" She then told me that the whirlpool wiped out the entire pod. She was the only survivor.

I was sad and happy at the same time. Sad because my pod was gone. But happy because I found my mom.

But then one day, my mother became very sick. I tried everything I could to help her feel better, but she just kept getting more ill. Then one day, I lost her. Before she died, she said to me "Aqua...do you want to know why you're like this?"

Yes." I responded. "I do!"

After the whirlpool...I refused to believe you were gone. So one day...I hired a potion maker to make a potion that will turn into this. But the potion had one drawback...It only works if you drink when the full moon is out."

Is that why i'm like this?"

Yes...goodbye Aqua..."

Then she was gone...

I was all alone again. Well, not entirely alone. I have a new family. And even though I can't see her, my mother will always be with me.

The End

Family

Milo
Milo is a Wockisha. He's part-wocky, part-aisha. Sarah and I found him in a zoo where he was teased by everyone who saw him. Just because someone looks funny doesn't mean you should make fun of them.

Herbie
Herbie grew up as an orphan. He never had any parents. He loves his new family very much and he hates to be alone.

Scrat
Scrat's a little odd. And when I say a little, I mean a lot. He has this huge pile of nuts in his room and he will chase away ANYONE who comes within five feet of it. He also LOVES peanut butter.

Deny
Until Sarah made her side accounts, Deny was the youngest. He's the one who caught me at the fishing area. (in case you're wondering why he used a doughnut as bait it's because he forgot to bring fishing bait and all he had was that doughnut.)

Friends

Xandu
Xandu (pronounced zahn-doo) was the first friend I made outside my pod. She is a close friend of mine. Her owner is also a close friend of Sarah's.
