[You wander inside a hut. Inside you see an island krawk with very unusual blue eyes sitting up in a hammock.] "Hi! I'm Flo, welcome to my cabana! Please, have a seat." [The krawk motions to the hammock across from her and you sit down.] "Great, can I get you anything to drink? Some krawkade perhaps?" [You shake your head no, wondering what you've gotten yourself into.] "But I do bet you're hungry, why don't I make us some fruit smoothies? Have a look around." [The krawk skips out of the room before you can say no thanks and you hesitantly get up to look around.]

My Story

It was a dark and stormy night... no, wrong story, heh heh. It was actually broad daylight and there was not a cloud in the beautiful blue sky. Florid sat by the rainbow pool watching her ixi swim in it for the millionth time. She knew he would never get painted that way, but she let him have his fun. Florid didn't know it yet, but she was going to become my mom that day.

C'mon Card! Get your behind out of the pool and dry off if you want to get to the grooming parlor before it closes," Florid shouted, beckoning at the ixi with a hand gesture. Card hopped out of the pool and ran for his towel. It was a nice royal blue fluffy one and he adored it. Florid watched as he patted - not rubbed - himself with the towel. He was such a quirky ixi.

Finally he was dried to her satisfaction and they set off for the grooming parlor. By the time the two got half way there Card was whining and Florid had had enough. "Card - if you do not stop whining right this instant, I'm going to call Adam and he's going to pour an asparugus and dung smoothie all over you." BusinessCard's eyes widened.

You wouldn't. You don't love me!"

You know very well that I would. And I know that you wouldn't like it. I know that you would hate it, infact." Florid gave him a smug look and kept walking. The whining had stopped. Good, she thought to herself. She glanced backwards and he wasn't there. Stopping, she turned the whole way around. There he was tossing neopoints into a fountain. "Just what do you think you're doing?!"

BusinessCard slowly turned around and gulped. "Uhhh, ummmm..." He knew that he wasn't supposed the waste neopoints like that. Florid grabbed him by the ear and pulled him along beside her. They were just passing the adoption center. She glanced longingly inside. Card was a handful though, and she wasn't ready for another pet just yet. Or so she thought.

When they reached the grooming parlor she gave him 110 neopoints and decided to wait outside. She stood twiddling her thumbs and leaning aginst the side of the building waiting for him to come back out. Florid has little patience for this sort of thing, Card seemed to be taking forever. She watched the other neopians pass by, pets following along behind them. She saw a boy dressed in all black followed by a darigan eyrie, a fire lupe, a mutant cybunny, and a shadow jetsam. It was interesting that he had four well behaved pets. What did he do? Beat them? Probably not, she decided and went back to twiddling her thumbs.

An old gypsy walked up to her. "Come with me dearie, all will be well." Florid was startled.

But, my ixi is in there, I'm not going to just leave him."

Oh, he'll be fine, come along now." Florid glanced inside the store. Card was in there having every single part of himself clipped, primped, and polished. She reluctantly followed the woman. "I have something special for you my dear. What objects do you have in your pocket?"

Florid shoved her hands in the pocket of her striped pants and pulled out 5 neopoints, a shell from her and Card's recent trip to mystery island, and a royal blue crayon. It was an odd assortment, and she was a tad sheepish when she handed it to the gypsy. "That'll do dearie."

They reached an old shack and the woman ushered her inside. A tank of rare tropical fish was standing by one wall, and there were stacks of cushions around a short table. The gypsy sat down and motioned for her to do the same. Florid sat down across from her. "Who are you?"

I'm Madame Moira. And you are Florid."

How did you know," Florid asked, eyes big as saucers.

I know all, I see all, and I hear all. I already knew what you had in your pocket. I wanted to see if you were honest."

Oh." Florid was stunned, this an odd incounter.

As I was saying, I have something for you. It is not something to abandon, and you must take care of it." This gypsy was scaring her. Should I just get up and go, she wondered.

The gypsy took the shell and the blue crayon, got up, and put them in a pot that had been bubbling away in a far corner of the room. She walked over to the fish tank and scooped out a bit of water and sand. She stirred them into the pot as well. "You're wondering what I'm talking about. Oh, you'll see dearie. You'll see. You had the perfect ingredients. You were at the right place at the right time."

I still don't get it," Florid replied staring intently at the gypsy who was now grabbing a huge ladel off of the shelf. Madame Moira dipped the ladel into the brew. She pulled out a shimmering egg and carefully walked over to the table with it.

This is what I am talking about Florid. This belongs to you. You made it simply because of destiny and me."

What sort of egg is this?"

Place it in your lap and you'll find out." Florid pliantly picked up the egg and sat it down in her lap. A split second later the shell dissapeared into thin air. She looked down. In her lap was a tiny island krawk, except, curiously - it had eyes the color of the crayon, and not the usual brown.

Wow, she's mine?" Florid had known instantly that I, was not an it, but a she.

Of course. Treat her well. I can tell you that she'll enjoy mystery island." Florid picked up the krawk and cradled her in her arms. Madame Moira nodded towards the door. Florid smiled and waved as she opened the door and left.

She walked back to the grooming parlor with a sparkle in her eyes. She had decided to me (the krawk), who was grabbing the attention of everyone around, Floridity, after herself. Just as she reached the grooming parlor Card walked out with a smug look on his face, which immediately turned to a look of amusement when he saw Floridity. "Who's this, Mom? How did you get the money?"

I didn't pay for her. I'll tell you while we walk home."

The next day Card was still ticked off at Florid. He hadn't believed her story and was a bit peeved that she hadn't painted him. Florid didn't wasn't bothered, though, and was taking him and I on a trip to Mystery Island.

When we arrived we went straight to the beach, where Florid saw Madame Moira sitting under the tree. She left Card and I to build a sand castle and walked over to her. "Excuse me, Madame Moira. I was wondering, what would you have done if I had had 500 neopoints in my pocket, and not a blue crayon and a shell?"

But you didn't," replied Madame Moira, and she faded away.

More about Me: I am a spunky krawk who loves to spend my days by the shore with my friends and my krikket Serendipity. If you have any berry flavored food, I'll gobble it up, and then drink all of your krawkade to wash it down. My favorite things to do are swim, comb the beach for shells, and throw water balloons (My favorite kind are the ones that have rainbow swirls). And aside from that, I am your average island krawk, except for the fact that I have royal blue eyes instead of brown.

Serendipity

Serendipity is my krikket. We found her wandering around mystery island. She saw me, and hasn't left my side ever since. She likes to do everything I do - and eat everything I eat, such as berries. She's a bit skittish, but she's made friends with some of my pals' petpets. Once, when we were on the beach, she picked up a perfect looking shell that washed onto the sand and gave it to me. It's one of my favorite posessions. And you know what? I wouldn't trade Serendipity for the world.

My Family

Mom

Mom may go by florid online_ but her real name is Jess. She's a snotty fourteen year old who can't draw and never feeds me. Ooops. Where did that come from? She's actually a nice 14 year old who draws well, loves to rp and recieve neomail. And the truth is, she always bloats me and my siblings.

BusinessCard
Card is my older brother. He's a vain red ixi, and I'm sure he wouldn't like me telling you this, but he combs himself for a total of about 5 hours a day. He also uses conditioner along with shampoo and soap in his three daily baths. To top it off, I would also like to mention that he swims in the rainbow pool in hopes of accidentally getting painted.

Tantivy

Tantivy is my younger sister by just one day. She's the brainy, witty, and knowledgable one in our family. Well... besides mom, heh heh. Anyway, Tantivy loves to help me gang up on Card - she may be a uni, and she likes to be clean, but she doesn't take it overboard like Card. I'm glad I have a sister like her.

Purlieus
Purl is my very youngest sibling. He's pretty cool, but a bit bird brained. What do you expect, though? He used to be a lenny. He loves to watch TV and I always sit down beside him and watch too when the news comes on. Sometimes I even invite him to the beach, but he never goes swimming because he doesn't know how to swim. Perhaps I'll have to teach him how sometime.

My Friends

Radweed

Radweed is a super awsome pirate/skunk/ghost krawk. Sometimes he can be such an oddball, but that's why he's my friend - he's funny. Infact, he's not just funny, he's witty and likes to tease my brother with me. He's working on his site as well, check it out. (But not before you finish my page. Heehee.)

Tasha
Tasha is a great friend who loves to spend her days on the beach with me. I remember when my super soaker ran out of water when I was squirting her. She seized her chance and squirted me silly. *giggles* Tasha, just like most of my friends has a mom in The Krawk Klub. Check it out sometime.

Dusk

Dusk is my popcorn loving friend who always beats me to everything. Just like most of my other friends she loves to spend the day on the beach. She's a pretty spiritual krawk, wether she means to be or not. Anyway, I think we've become pretty good friends in the short time we've known each other.

Wik
Wik always seems to be out on a fishing trip. ;) He never brings me a fish back, but I don't mind because he's fun to hang out with. He's just starting to work on his page too. Perhaps when he gets more on it I'll put a link up. It's looking great so far.
