"See dear. Its was me all along"
"Okay mommy."
(The child snuggles against the poogle plushie)
(Mom:)
(Whew that was a close one the mother whispers)
(The poogles eyes glow bright red and suddenly a loud strange noise comes from the room and the mother hears it all the way down the hall, she quickly runs back to the room to check on the boy)
(Mom:)
"What was that sweety are you all right?
…
(Mom:)
What is that smell? And why did you throw poogly on the rocking chair?"
(Boy:)
"Well, when I farted, poogly ran away and sat over there. "

"Don’t be silly, plushies can not talk"
(Boy:)
"Well, he didn’t talk, he didn’t walk. HE RAN!"

(Child smirks at poogly and snugs back in bed)
(Boy:)
"Just you wait poogly, well become even better friends tomorrow, mommy’s making pintos and cheese!"

One day late in the month of Collecting, Agra the green Kougra and his mother Zora the purple Zafara went to the hospital so Zora could visit a sick neofriend. Zora knew that Agra would have a much better time playing outside. So, she told Agra that he could stay outside and play as long as he didn’t go so far away that he couldn’t see the hospital. Usually Agra listens very well, so Zora thought that she could trust him. Agra, however, wanted to ride the Roo Island Merry Go Round and he knew that it couldn’t be very far.
Well, we all know that Agra was a little wrong, especially for such a small Kougra, getting to Roo Island would not be an easy task. After his mother went inside Agra took off with Poogly, his Poogle Merchant Plushie. Agra took Poogly everywhere and was never afraid with him in hand. Agra followed the path out of the Neopian Plaza he skipped the whole way to Kiko Lake. Then he and Poogly stopped for a juice break and to take a Glass Bottom Boat Tour. Somehow Poogly always sees the best fish first. After the tour was over Agra and Poogly took off again, Agra knew he’d better hurry or he wouldn’t have any time to ride the Merry Go Round before his mother was done. Agra decided that he and Poogly should play hopscotch (not regular hopscotch, but pretend hopscotch where you always go forward unless you hop in the wrong box and you have to imagine the board). Agra and Poogly hopscotched right past the Stone Battledome and the Brain Tree and finally stopped when Agra felt a chill go down his spine. He looked around and discovered he had hopscotched right into the middle of the Game Graveyard. Agra hugged Poogly tightly and closed his eyes hoping to be back in front of the hospital when he opened them. However when he did open his eyes he was still in the Graveyard and now there was a Halloween Kyrii and a Darigan Bruce standing in front of him along with a Ghost Jetsam. They stared at Agra and took Poogly from him. Agra didn’t know whether to scream or to cry, so he did both. He was so scared that he couldn’t think straight and everything was spinning before his eyes. Agra had to force himself to stop screaming and to look at the ghastly trio that was holding Poogly hostage, As soon as he did he wished he hadn’t, for the Darigan Bruce had Poogly by the foot while the Halloween Kyrii was sprinkling some kind of herbs on Poogly and the Ghost Jetsam was muttering some kind of incantation. Agra mustered all the strength he could, he grabbed Poogly from the Darigan Bruce, and took off running.
BAM!!!
In his mad dash to get out of the Graveyard with Poogly Agra didn’t notice that the Ghost Jetsam had somehow gotten in front of him. Agra ran smack into him and fell like he’d hit a brick wall. Agra lost his breath and his consciousness. When he finally woke up Agra first checked to make sure he still had Poogly, because if he had Poogly nothing could hurt him. After Agra gave Poogly a biiiig hug he cautiously looked around to see where the gruesome threesome were, that’s when he noticed that he wasn’t in the Graveyard anymore. He was tucked in his bed, he even had his pajamas on. Agra breathed a sigh of relief as he realized it must have all been a dream, or rather a nightmare. Now that all his fears had dissipated, he rolled over and went back to sleep. Agra awoke in the middle of the night, he yawned, and reached for Poogly, but Poogly wasn’t in bed with him. Agra started to worry that he’d lost Poogly while he was sleeping, when he saw a lump on the floor by the closet. Agra jumped out of bed to grab the lump (knowing it was Poogly).
"Silly, Poogly, where do you think you’re going?" Agra asked the plushie as he went to pick it up. As Agra bent down something didn’t look quite right about Poogly, he wasn’t brown anymore. Poogly had turned yellow and he looked an awful lot like the Malevolent Sentient Poogle Plushie, Agra had been scared of for as long as he could remember. Agra quickly dropped Poogly and yelled, "Mummy… Poogly just made a funny noise!"
"Shh, dear, it is nothing. Go back to sleep," was the reply Agra got as Poogly stood up…
Can you figure out which of the missing pieces belong in the puzzle? Careful, it may not be as easy as it looks!

Slorg Slime Slushie by Pasqui
Slorg Slime Slushie
Are you sure it’s only made of the slime? I think it just blinked at me…
Gravedigger’s Surprise by Jenny Lynn
Ingredients:
Breadmasters secret pudding mix (chocolate) - You must find a way to get this from the Breadmaster, I suggest bribes
Chocolate Werelupe Cookies - crushed
Gummy Slorgs - Banana, Grape, Cranberry, or Lime or a combination
Almost Gummy Rat (optional)
You could also use a Jelly Finger or a Jelly Spider Eyeball
These are really simple to make (if you can acquire the pudding mix). You simply make the pudding exactly as the Breadmaster tells you. You really want to stay on his good side. Pour it into single serving dishes. Let the pudding set in the fridge. In the meantime you can be crushing, smashing, hammering, whatever to get those Werelupe Cookies broken up into a dirt looking substance. After your pudding has set, add the crushed cookies to the top, enough to cover all the pudding then add whatever gummy or jelly treats you decided upon. And voila! There you have the newest spooky food to be sweeping the Haunted Woods, Gravedigger’s Surprise.
The real non neo recipe is to use regular chocolate pudding, crushed oreos, and gummy worms or spiders. Then you make it the same. Follow the directions on the pudding box. You can even add a little whipped cream to the pudding to make a mousse.
For a healthier version, you can use gelatin and then make a little ghostie out of a dollop of whipped cream. Add two chocolate sprinkles or mini chocolate chips as eyes.
Make sure you have your parents permission to make these goodies and always have an adult supervise you.
Simply pick a number next to the beautifully wrapped present that you think the goodies are hiding in. Will you guess the right number and find the goodies?
