In celebration of this Poptropica Help Blog recently reaching 8 million hits (thanks everyone!), we’re going to do something fun! In the comments section, ANYONE is welcome to join in as we weave an ongoing story, a Poptropica fan-fiction of sorts, told in second-person narrative. It begins here…
“Um, hello. I’m here to register for something called, uh, ‘Poptropica’?” Amidst the realm of blue vines in front of you, a crate, small and wooden, bounces out, shaking blue dust and spitting out a question of your gender. You stare incredulously before you finally manage to respond. “I’m a boy,” you tell the little box, and then it erupts a circle of numbers in individual bubbles as it asks you the next question. This is a very strange sign-up process, you think to yourself, as you decide to tell the box etched with a curious question mark that you are 9 years old.
“Your name is Jumpy Jumper. When you are ready, hop into the blimp and travel to any island.” You ponder the map for a while, but decide none of the islands suit you. “There’s got to be something better…” you mutter to yourself. Just then, you see it. Out of the corner of your eye, there’s another island, shrouded in mystery by layers of smog and unidentifiable smells. Island X.
“But no one’s ever been there before,” the voice warns, the voice of the box that had guided your creation earlier. “Jumpy Jumper, JJ, you can’t… how did that even get on the map anyway? It’s not safe… please no… JJ!!” But it’s too late. You’re gone.
What happens next? Will JJ survive the unknown dangers of the mysterious Island X? What is the island’s secret, its true name, the people, the villain(s), the setting? You and your fellow PHB readers get to decide what items he collects and uses, other places he visits, and the adventures that await…
RULES: Make sure it follows what others have written before you, makes sense, and if you wish to add a comment that is not part of the story itself, use parentheses, for example: (I think we should…) Your comment can be as long or short as you like and you are definitely welcome to contribute as many times as you like. Be creative!

You follow them till you see Rowley saying something about a bike but you get distracted when you see Manny! You chase after him but he is too fast. But you see something sticking out of a bush. You reach in and pull out the bike. But you hear a faint rustling right above you…
BANG! Something hard crashed on top of Silver sword, and she faints. Lone Pear throws a heavy treasure chest off of Silver, she immediately turns bright red. “YOU!” She yells, pointing at Binary Bard, “I BLAME YOU!” “Do we really need to stop!” Binary complains, “Can’t we just keep going!” Silver wakes up, and as if she heard the whole conversation, she jumps in. “You nearly killed me!”
(Hi!!!!!! Sorry I was gone for so long!)
A girl drops down and points her bow at you. What do you do next?
You yell a childish shout and fall back. The girl laughs at you and lowers her bow. You still are definitely startled, and are not sure how to react. But then she says…
“Don’t worry, I’m not gonna hurt you! But who are you? And why are you here?” Her friendly voice turns suspicious. You mange to get a full look at her at notice something strange…
Out of the corner of your eye, you notice Manny running away. He seems to be going towards… a school?
