Unlucky

Chapter 4: Friday the 13th of October.

Lucky was so upset. She never wanted to back to school. She hated everyone. She hated Bailey for making her go to school, she hated classmates, she hated her father for abandoning her, and most of all, she hated herself. She ran as fast as she could, and her legs lead her to an odd place: The W-Pond. It was night and a thick blanket of fog covered the pond, just as it did the night Lucky was born. It happened to be the same night, several years later.

Lucky threw herself upon the bench for an answer, any answer to her troubles. Nothing came. Lucky began to cry, and suddenly it began to pour. Lucky heard thunder and saw flashes of lighting. She decided she should return to Bailey’s, even though she had no desire to.

Along the way, Lucky had to walk down Main Street, the busiest street in Kinzville. The rain was still pouring hard. Lucky saw a figure walking in the rain. She strained to see what it was, then realized it was the monkey form class. Lucky wondered why she was walking in the rain alone.

Suddenly, a car swerved off the road, right toward the monkey, Lucky leaped and pushed her out of the way.

Once they were safe, the monkey spoke.

“You.. you just.. saved me..” she said slowly.

“Yes. Are you alright now?” asked Lucky.

“Thanks to you!! I’m sorry I was mean to you Lucky. You arent unlucky to be with, your lucky! I’m really sorry. Will you forgive me?” said the monkey.

“Yes.” said Lucky.

“Oh good! My name is Mary by the way” she said, just as the police came to the scene.

“This is what caused the accident I assume” said the cop, motioning toward Lucky. “The driver must have been so spooked to see her”

“She saved me!!!!!!!” shouted Mary.

The driver stepped from his car. He was a Persian cat. He spoke…”It’s true sir. I swerved because of this rain, and the cat saved the monkey from her death, risking her own life.”

The Persian cat looked at Lucky. Suddenly, things clicked.

“Is that you???” he asked her.

The cops and Mary looked so confused, but Lucky understood. It was her father driving that car.

“Yes” she said, looking at her father.

“I thought I would never see you again!! It was so wrong what I did to you when you were younger. I’m sorry hunny” he said, running to hug his daughter.

Unlucky:

Chapter 3: Old School Charm.

So Lucky went to live with Bailey and Phil. They taught her lots of things until she was old enough to go to school. Lucky thought she was becoming less unlucky. She had only been breaking something once a week instead of every day! However, by the time Lucky started school, her luck had run out!

When Lucky was old enough she had to start attending school. However, she didnt exactally fit in at Fluffington Elementry. All the other children had been going there for a few years, but Lucky had been homeschooled.

On her first day of school, when she walked into the classroom, everyone just stared. Lucky walked to sit in the front row, the only desk open. On her way, she accidently tripped the teacher. Everyone laughed. Even the teacher. But Lucky didnt find it funny. They got to make name tags the first day. Everyone’s was in the shape of a lucky houseshoe. But Lucky made hers upside down, an unlucky horseshoe. The monkey who sat next to Lucky tapped on her should.

“You made it wrong, Stupid! Now all your luck will fall out. “, the monkey said loud enough for everyone to hear. Everyone laughed. But Lucy didnt find it funny. She walked up to the teacher.

“I made my horseshoe wrong. Now its unlucky. Can I have a new one?” asked Lucky.

“No. I guess you just have to live with that” said the teacher.

As Lucky returned to her seat, someone had pulled out the chair, so she sat down on thin air, and fell on her tail. Everyone laughed. But Lucky didnt find it funny.

At lunch, Lucky couldnt find a place to sit. She saw the monkey who sat next to her in class. She walked over to her.

“Can I sit here?” asked Lucky.

Everyone at the table stared.  A pink poodle at the table spoke to her.

“Sorry, this is a bad-luck free zone. No black cats allowed”

Lucky felt so alone. She wanted to go back to Bailey and Phil’s. Atleast they loved her. All of the tables were filled. The only open spot was underneath the broken ceiling the janitor was fixing. She walked over.

“Excuse me Sir, can I sit here?” she asked the Cocker Spaniel janitor.

“If you want bad luck!” said the janitor.

Lucky didnt know what he was talking about, until she noticed that the table was under a ladder. Lucky ate her lunch there.

Lucky returned home in tears. So many bad things had happened to her at school. She was the most unlucky cat in the world. Bailey and Phil tried to comfort her, but it was no use. Lucky was just terribly unlucky it seemed.

The students were asked to bring in their good luck charm for show and tell for the next day, so the following morning, Lucky’s second day, she packed up her mirror shard.

At school, the students took turns sharing their good luck charms.

“This is my lucky horseshoe necklace. My daddy gave it to me after I won my first race” said a Clydesdale when it was her turn.

“This is my lucky four leaf clover” said a Golden Retriever when it was his turn.

“These are my lucky fuzzy dice, Snake Eyes” said a Black Lab. He reminded Lucky of Phil.

Finally it was Lucky’s turn. She approached the front of the room, hoping she wouldnt trip.

“TTThis is my good luck charm,” she said holding out the mirror piece. She spoke timidly. “I found it. When my parents adopted me…”

The class apruted into mutters.

“Thats why she is so strange, she was adopted!”

“I bet she broke that mirror!”

“7 years of bad luck!”

“Um, anyway, my mom, well, adopted mom, uh, it broke and, um..” said Lucky in a pusillanimous tone.

“She’s such a freak!”

“I bet her birthday is Friday the 13th!!”

“It is!” said Lucky.

“A black cat born on Friday the 13 who carries around a broken mirror piece and eats under a ladder? What an unlucky freak!!!” declared the monkey she sat next to.

Lucky ran from the room. She couldnt take it. She held her mirror piece tight, and ran and ran…

Unlucky

Chapter 2: Superstition

The next morning a blanket of fog covered the lake. It was certainly an ominous looking morning, yet two labs were out for a run.

“I’m tired Phil. Can we take a rest?” huffed the chocolate lab.

“Sure thing Bailey” said the black lab, sitting down on a bench.

“Its so foggy today! You can scarcely see a thing!” comment Bailey.

All was silent for a few minutes, except the huffing and puffing of the two dogs, and the sound of snores.

“Do you here that?” questioned Bailey after a few minutes.

“Here what?” said Phil, looking at her like she had 3 heads.

“The snoring! It sounds like a a baby. ” said Bailey, getting irritated at her husband.

“THERE IS NO SNORING!!!” shouted Phil, for he had a very short temper.

“Meowww”

“Phil, there is something here! A cat” said Bailey, looking around franticly. She couldnt see anything because of the fog, but she sprung from her seat and began walking around the park. She didnt have to go far, because the sound was coming from the bench adjacent to theirs.

The sound was growing louder, she Bailey could find the source. She approached the bench, only to find a little kitten wrapped up in a cloth, and a single hand held mirror.

“Thats odd” said Bailey as she picked up the mirror. She was examining it, when all of a sudden it shattered.

“Oh no!!! 7 years of bad luck!!!!!!!!” screamed Bailey. The little kitten was curious to see what the noise was, she she emerged from her cloth.

“OH NO!!!! A BLACK CAT!!!!! CROSSING MY PATH!!!!!!!!!!!!”

The kitten looked up at the dog, who at this point was running around screaming. The black cat walked over to where the shards of mirror were, and picked up one in her mouth.

“I’m sorry” whispered the cat. “Please stop shouting, its hurting my ears. ”

“Sorry. Its just not everyday oyu see a black cat next to a broken mirror.” said Bailey.

By this point, Phil was running over to see what the problem was.

“Oh no! Bailey, get away, before it crosses your path!”

“Too late Phil. But this kitty is just a baby. I dont think she will get her unlucky hormones until she is 13. ”

“You thought wrong” muttered the cat.

“What?” questioned Phil and Bailey at once.

“I am unlucky! I was born on Friday the 13th, my mom died giving birth, my dad hated me for it, so he brought me here. Then this mirror blow here last night. It shattered, now you have bad luck. I’m a black cat. Of course I’m bad luck!” said the cat, starting to tear up.

“No, hunny, you arent unlucky, you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. You are the luckiest cat I know!” said Bailey.

“Why is that??” said the cat through her tears.

“Because today you get parents. We’ll take you in, and raise you. We dont have any children of our own, but now we will! What do you say hunny?” Bailey told her.

“Oh my! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!” exclaimed the kitten.

“Do you have a name?” asked Phil.

“I dont think so” said the cat.

“We’ll call you Lucky!” said Bailey. “Now, lets go home and get you some food. Put that piece of glass down, its dangerous.”

Lucky remember she was still holding the mirror piece. “Can I hold on to it? I think its my good luck charm”

“Oh, of course dear!” said Bailey.

They begin to walk down the street, but father away from Lucky’s fathers house. She wondered if she would ever see him again…

Coolchick1995 wrote a fantastic story:

Lizzy the Lion Cub

Ever since she could remember, Lizzy the Lion Cub wanted a mane. Not just any old mane, but a nice thick dark one that would sit on her head like a crown.

“But you can’t have a mane,” said her Mother. “You’re a girl. Only boys have manes.”

Lizzy thought this very unfair. And she moped around the den for a while wondering what she could do about it? Then she had an idea. She would go and see Osmund, the wise old Monkey.

“All my brothers have nice long manes,” she complained to Osmund. “And I’m as bald as an egg.”

Osmund put on his spectacles, and peered for a long time at Lizzy’s head. Then he gave her a bottle of hair tonic, and told her to rub it on three times a day.

But it didn’t work. Even although Lizzy poured so much of it on that it dripped into her ears. There wasn’t as much as a tuft of hair on her whole head.

“I think it’s making you balder,” teased her brothers. And they laughed at her as they combed their manes.

Lizzy was disappointed and angry. “I want my money back,” she told Osmund. “That nasty old stuff you gave me didn’t work.”

Osmund leaned back in his chair - which was a very high one, for he was so tall - and stayed deep in thought. “Okay,” he said at last. “I have another idea.” And so it was that Lizzy returned home with a head full of ostrich feathers. She felt very proud of herself for now she had a mane - at least of sorts - and she strutted a bit as she walked.

“You look ridiculous,” laughed her brothers. “Take off the bird hat before our friends see it.” And they followed her around the den trying to grab at the feathers.

“Leave her alone,” said their mother, and chased them outside.

But despite all the teasing Lizzy continued to wear the feathers. She spent a lot of time studying her reflection in a pool, and had decided that although they were not as nice as a real mane, they were better than being bald. She did, however, find them annoying at times.

The feather mane made her head hotter in summer, and sometimes it got into her eyes and she couldn’t see properly. It also took a lot of time to brush and comb and get the knots out.

One day, Lizzy and her brothers were playing on the riverbank. It had been raining and they got very muddy. “We’ll have the devil of a time getting this muck out of our manes,” said her brothers, as they jumped into the river for a bath.

And while they were still bathing, and helping each other clean up their manes, Lizzy pulled off her own feather mane - which was coated with mud - and threw it away. Then she quickly swam ashore and beat everyone home for tea.

Lizzy felt freer and lighter without the mane and there was never any difficulty seeing. She didn’t miss the time spent grooming it either.

“You look lovely without it,” said her mother, and Lizzy, peering at her reflection, very happily agreed. I do look great with out a mane. I guess everyone is made in their own special way.

Chapter 1:

Bubba was a friendly little polar bear. He loved cars. One day he came across his local car dealership. He was thankful it was outside, so he could sit there and gaze at it for a while. After he had taken a good, long look, she had her eye on the perfect car. A new, shiny, 4 wheel ATV. He glanced at it with a dreamy glimmer in his eye. Finally, he lifted the latch on the front gate. Locked. Depressed, he slowley turned to head home. “Wait!” He heard a voice call. He spinned around…getting hopeful. It turns out it was the Dealership owner, Mr. Flufferstiens. Bubba recognized him right away. “I need to ask you a favor”, Mr. Fluffenstien said. Bubba replied…getting exited. “What would that be?”. Mr Fluffenstien carefully unlocked the gate, and took hold of Bubba’s hand. He slowly Guided himself and Bubba over to the desk, closing the gate behind him.” I need you to look after my dealership.”, Mr fluffenstien said. Bubba jumped with a surprized look on his face. “you mean…I get to stay with all of these beautiful cars?” Bubba was still shocked. “Yes, I am going on vacation for 2 weeks. Summer’s almost over, you know?! You will be paid. At the end of the week, I’ll let you choose one of my cars, for you to keep.” Bubba jumped, for the second time today. He knew exactly what he was going to do…..

Hairspray wrote a great story called the Price of Famous:

There were these 2 friends named Banana (Cheeky Monkey) and Samantha (Pig). Right across the street from Samantha lived a bratty news reporter named Noosey ( St Bernard ). One night Samantha had Banana over to spend the night. Now Noosey was just out for a walk when suddenly she heard Banana singing! Now right after Noosey heard her she called up her friend a singing agent named Jooker ( Tiger )! Now after she hung up the phone she had a evil smile on her face!!

In the morning the doorbell rang!

“This early?!” yelled Banana.

” Get it.” said Samantha.

So when Banana answered the door there was Jooker standing there and he said

“Hello”

and pulled her all the way down the block.Samantha ran after her but was soon caught when a Plumpycream truck drove by. After the truck drove by they were out of sight. Right as Jooker stopped running Banana found her self at a KK Chanel store.

” Where am I” Yelled Banana.

Back at the house Samantha was worried when suddenly the phone rang. When Samantha picked up the phone it was Noosey!

“What did you do with her?”Samantha asked.

“Oh a makeover,a singing coach,a car” replied Noosey.

“But she doesn’t need those she needs me her real friend” shouted Samantha.

After that Samantha sat down confused on what to do. Back at KK Chanels Banana got her makeover without wanting to. What she really wanted was her true friend Samantha. Suddenly She saw Mariah Kinz. Mariah Kinz was Banana’s idol. When Mariah Kinz came to Banana she asked her one question. “Where you ever forced to do somthing you didnt want to do?”

Mariah Awnsered ” Yes”

and then walked away.When Samantha found Banana she explained what her mom told her about the bad side of fame. Suddenly Banana thought about what she had been through that day and what life used to be like with Samantha. Now that was something that she didn’t want to give up that. So she and Samantha developed a plan to get back at Noosey. There idea was to toilet paper her house and spray hoses to make the toliet paper stick. After they destroyed her house they told Sheriff Bun Bun ( Sherbet Bunny ) that Noosey had a bad accident. Noosey got fired from her job at the newspaper. But life’s still the same for Banana and Samantha.

Best Friends For Ever!

Ilovezac225 posted a great story on the Webkinz-Land Forum. I hope you enjoy it!:

Tabby Von Meow’s Great Adventure:

One day, Tabby was going to a party at Arte’s but then she got a kinz letter saying that the party was canceled! She wondered why, so she called Plumpy! She had no idea so then she decided to go over to Tabby’s house!. So Plumpy and tabby called Goober! He suggested maybe he had to work late! But Goober came over as well. Then they called Arte, but he didnt answer, all it said was,

“Goodbye friends”

Tabby and her friends were shivering with fear! they ran into Tabby’s investigating room, ( luckily she had one ) and looked up Arte! They saw that there was nothing on his page! All it had was his name, and “goodbye friends”. So they went to Arte’s house. There was a slightly large shadow appearing on Arte’s couch.

It was a beagle, he was sitting on Arte’s couch. Suddenly, they heard an evil laugh. The beagle was named Gernery( it was on his collar ) and he said

“Arte was gone, far far away, he will never come back, unless you want to bring him back, you have to venture there, remember, very far away…..”

then they heard a yelp that sounded like Arte! It said,

” Help ME!!!!!!! ”

Thank you to IHeartWebkinz for this great interview. Hopefully she will write more interviews, I’ll keep you posted!

And now we will sit down and talk with one of Webkinz-Land’s Mod’s, PixieBear
IHeartWebkinz: How did you first become a mod?

PixieBear: Well, when I first joined this site, there were only a few people. I stopped visiting the website for a few weeks, since I had recently lost my interest for webkinz. One day, I decided to gain my interest webkinz again, and went back to WL. To my surprise, there was a BUNCH people! I was amazed!
I watched how people acted and what they did, and found the site to be..well…a bit messy. I tried to clean it up a bit by giving Steph suggestions and posting a thread on how we can help clean up the forums. Not many people listened, but it helped a lot.
Then one day, I got a PM from Steph. She had told me that she read my thread, and she agreed with many of my points. She asked if I would like to become a Moderator, and I accepted.

IHeartWebkinz: Thank you, PixieBear. What responsibilities do you have as being a mod???

PixieBear: I could go on and on with that question! LOL I’ll make it shorter for you though
Some responsibilities I have to take as a Mod, are to be a good example for other members, take the correct action when necessary (even if you don’t want to do it), and to do my job (even the most annoying things!)
LOL sorry if it didn’t make much sense…it’s hard to explain

IHeartWebkinz: So it sounds like mods have a lot of responsibilities! So, how does it feel to be a mod?

PixieBear:Yes, we have a LOT of responsibilities!

IHeartWebkinz: How does it feel to be a Mod?

PixieBear: I love being a Mod! I don’t do it for the ’spotlight’ or the ‘fame’, but for knowing that I help this site as much I can, and I help keep everyone on this site safe.

IHeartWebkinz: Wow, we have a great mod, right here!!! And why do mods ban people? Like what are some things the mods can ban people for?

PixieBear: LOL thanks
Mods only ban when necessary. Some examples are scammers and people who cause trouble.

IHeartWebkinz: Yeah, it’s good to ban scammers so that way they’ll never scam again! Now one last question: If you could choose 3 people to be mods, which 3 people would that be???

PixieBear: I think many people deserve to be Mods! But we can’t have a million mods and 3 members LOL. So if you want to be a Mod, just be a great webkinz-land member and help in any way that you can! Don’t be rude or mean! These are traits that we look for when deciding on a Moderator. Many people have these traits, and I’d rather not choose 3 out of the 1000 members we have.
So, if you don’t mind, I’d rather not answer this question.
Thanks for interviewing me!! It was really fun!

IHeartWebkinz: Your welcome PixieBear! And now more people know what it is like to be a mod and what mods do!! Thanks for reading!! Hope you enjoyed it!!!

P.S. This is an actual copy of a PM that PixieBear and I spoke about! So I did not just make this up. PixieBear actually said these exact words!
