Ask PHB

Need some help with Poptropica? The experts are here to answer your questions!

Can you get a pet on Poptropica? ~Blue Shield

As of now, no you can’t. However, the ‘Follower’ packs in the Store (such as the classic pack, pictured right) are good substitutes.

I created my Poptropica account when I was 9, now I am 11, will the game still think that I’m 9 or know I am 11? ~Neat Glove

The Poptropican stays the same age, so yours is still 9 years old.

If you have a Multiverse room, do you get to pick out which one you want? ~Golden Shell

Yes, absolutely! As of right now there are five room themes to choose from – Enchanted Forest, Crystal Cavern, Techno Room, Big Brain Factory, and even Sweet Tooth! Have you seen them all?

Will our favorite heroes emerge victorious in all the fierce questing?

[Continued from February 2010’s newsletter!] The night was cool, quiet, and dark, which was perfect for the plan.  Green Seal, Friendly Heart, and Shiny Shell hid behind a large bush.  A guard walked past, not knowing someone was there.  The three girls did their best to be silent.  The guard walked away, surveilling another area.“Now we make our move!” whispered Green Seal.  They all moved inaudibly, hiding behind bushes and trees as they went.  Once they had reached the factory, Friendly Heart told Shiny Shell her instructions.  “So remember, you have to go there wearing this chameleon suit,” she handed Shiny Shell one, “and use this rock to crash one of the windows.”

“Okay,” said Shiny Shell, taking the items.“Go!” Friendly Heart whispered.  Shiny Shell got closer to the factory, just until she was about 10 feet away from it, then threw the rock.  The window crashed, and Shiny Shell rushed back to Green Seal and Friendly Heart.  “Good job, Shiny Shell,” said Green Seal and Friendly Heart.  “Thanks,” said Shiny Shell, panting.As predicted, a bunch of guards walked over to the broken factory window after they heard the sound.  “What was that?” a guard asked.  “I don’t know.” replied another.  The guards examined the window.  The three girls crawled –shielded by bushes and trees– around, past the guards, and to the back of the factory.

The Official Adventures of Silver Sneeze: Chapter 6, Kick Some Tushy: by Silver Sneeze/Berry Fudge Yummy

[Continued from January 2010’s newsletter!]”Wha!” I exclaimed.
“Come on, don’t be shy. Follow my voice.”the voice started singing. We followed it until we saw a short figure with eyes at the top of her head. Baby Tushy.

“Well, well. Look who’s here. And behind me.”There was Hamburger and Mickayla tied to a chair.
“Guys. Let’s kick some Baby tushy”I said. Should I have put capitals?

“Oh, you shouldn’t bother. I’m a djinn, also known as genie, and a ghost.”
“Here, take this bottlle”Jemma siad. Then she muttered something. A fridge appeared and Baby Tushy was minimized and swept into the bottle. She took the bottle from me and put it in the fridge.

“Why a fridge?”
“She’s a djinn. She needs the hot. So we’ll give her cold. Her spirit will soon die. Now go back to Reality TV Island but untie them first. Do it by typing the opposite of what you typed to get here.See ya!”she disappeared. I untied Mickayla and Hamburger and went back to Poptropica. From then on, Hamburger  was always nice to me but Mickyla sort fo tried to prevent talking to me until, finally, she gave up.

“You put in the wrong coordinates, I’m Jemma, who you think Hamburger is is actually her twin. Mickayla and Hamburger are still tied up and Baby Tushy is warm.”she said sadly.
“Aw, man!” THE END.

The Counterfeit Case [CHAPTER THREE]: by Neat Whale

[Continued from February 2010’s newsletter!] The man was there, all right, and NW would have caught him, if she had just known he was so fast… screaming, “Stop! Theif!” at him as he raced out the back door, NW felt like giving up. But she hopped behind him, and jumped on a scooter to chase him down, looking out for everything in her way. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t catch him. He finally got to the dock, and jumped into a boat, out of sight. NW groaned, and, picking up a strange card the man dropped, walked back toward the museum.

When she walked in the front door, the assistant spotted her and said, “A package came in the mail for you. No return address.” NW grabbed the package, said thanks, and sat down next to where ‘The Scream’ should have been. When she opened it, she saw it was…’The Starry Night’ by Vincent Van Gogh? What was going on…?

A small thermometer type thing fell out of the package. She grabbed it and ran it over the package, and read that the curator wanted to see her at…the Pop Art Muesum? “But that’s a different island…” said NW quietly to herself. Sighing, she hopped over to the blimp. At least she could go on a getaway.

The salt-tasting air whipped NW’s hair around her face, geting caught in it. She loved the ocean…she loved water. But she wasn’t here just to feel the water play with her. She needed to go to Early Poptropica.

When the blimp finally landed, Neat Whale cautiously stepped into the muesum, and spotted an elderly woman, who looked really rather beautfiul, her mouth settled into a frown with pink lipstick covering it. Finally, after a long conversation with the woman, NW asked what she could do. “Just be careful,” said the Curator. “someone you trust is watching you very closly. And take this key, and be careful with it…we lost much just to obtain it.” handing her a brown pine-pop-wood key, the woman told her to go on. And off Neat Whale went, back to Counterfeit island.

Deciding to take a little break–she had been on a mission since she got here–NW decided to stop and paint with the man on the street, who she had, only yesterday, written ‘The PHB Rox!’ on a canvas of his. the man looked at NW and whispered, “Psst. Recently, I sold a painting to the Investigator…but with no frame! why would she need a painting without a frame? Very strange…” he said, and returned to his work. Neat Whale jumped up. Pine wood! Countryside! The Investigator’s house was in the countryside! No frame! ‘Someone you trust is watching you very closly’! Could it be…?!

Neat Whale looked at the man, trying to sound calm, “Thank you. I must be going.” and she turned and ran off, ready to take her destiny. [To be continued in future Poptropican’s 911 issues!]

The Mysterious Poptropican, Chapter Two: Here Comes Help: by IkeWB

[Continued from February 2010’s newsletter!] Along with getting help, Stuart still had to go to the library to check out the book he had reserved. Once he got to the library, he noticed his friend, Peppermint, as she liked to be called. Stuart rushed up to her.

“Hi, Stu!” Pepperment said. Stuart hastily showed her the letter. She skimmed through it quickly.

“EGAWD!” she said at the top of her lungs. Everybody shushed her. “We gotta go help them!”

“Exactly! Can you help me get them?”

“Sure! But I’m guessing you have a book on hold. Why don’t ya go get it?” said Peppermint.

Peppermint pushed Stuart in the direction of the hold shelf.

“It’s okay!” said Stuart, “I know where to get them.”

“Okay, I’ll just wait here then,” said Peppermint.

Stuart got the book he had reserved plus another on Nabooti Island language. Then he went to the librarian.

The librarian bent over to him quickly and said, “I couldn’t help but listen to your conversation with your friend. And I received a letter just like that…from a dove right?”

Stuart shook his head no. “I got mine from a barn owl.”

“A barn owl, hmm? Well maybe they used just any type of bird to send out the letters. I know where to find the man who captured the people, but I just can’t go.”

“Why?” asked Stuart.

“I’m too old, and I was looking for a young adventurer to take my place. You and that girl seem to make a good team. Now, as I was saying, I know where they are.”

The librarian gave Stuart directions from Nabooti to the island where she said they were being held captive.

“Thanks!” said Stuart.

“Not so loud, kid! People are trying to read.”

“Right,” said Stuart returning to Peppermint with the books and the maps to the island.

“So, we know where we’re going now?” said Peppermint.

“Yep,” replied Stuart. [To be continued in future Poptropican’s 911 issues!]

The Escape (Chapter One): by Magic Storm

A Unique Twist for YOU, the reader!

Author Magic Storm has written the first part for her story, and she wants YOU to finish it! Just for fun, anyone can write a comment at the very bottom of this page to conclude the exciting masterpiece that Magic Storm has begun…

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!! “Wow, is it time already?” I asked myself as I turned off the alarm on my phone. “Thanks for the free balloon!” I called to the clerk at the clown store. “Come on, Merlin,” I said to my little companion. He followed me obediently, and we headed to the blimp on Main Street. Once I landed on Astro-Knights Island, I realized I accidentally let go of my balloon. “Darn,” I mumbled to myself. Getting over my lost balloon quickly, I grabbed some lunch and strolled to my rocket on top of the castle. It didn’t take long before I arrived at the Lava Planet. “OK, Merlin, are you ready?” I asked Merlin, knowing he loved to race me to the top of the volcano. “Hooo!” Merlin replied. “OK. On your mark . . . get set . . . GO!”

I skipped across the platforms being raised by lava as fast as I could while Merlin flapped his wings and flew above me. It was close, but Merlin won. Again. “I’ll get you next time . . . ” I assured him. “Hooo,” was all he said back to me. Remembering why I had to come here in the first place, I entered the volcano. I was heading towards the hidden chamber that kept all the people who were to much of a threat to keep on Planet Poptropica. After I entered the right code, the door opened. My jaw dropped. “They’re gone, Merlin!” I screamed. I was staring at an empty jail cell in front of me. I was so shocked, I couldn’t even move. Then, I finally got a hold of myself and slowly walked forward. After a few steps, a cage fell on top of me!

“Crap,” was the only word I could squeeze out of my mouth. “That would seem to be the right thing to say,” said a familiar voice. “Who’s there?” I asked. To answer my question, Dr. Hare stepped out from behind a wall. “DR. HARE?!?!?” “Yes, it’s me. Along with everyone else you locked up!” All of the sudden, Director D, Binary Bard, and pretty much every other evil master mind I defeated was behind Dr. Hare. “What?!?!? How did you escape?!?!? I THOUGHT DR. HARE WAS FLOATING IN THE MIDDLE OF SPACE!!” I yelled.

“Hooo!” It looked like Merlin was just as surprised as I was. “Correction: I was floating out in the middle of space. After a while, I discovered your little prison here and got everyone out.” Dr. Hare said arrogantly. “So what are you planning on doing now?” I asked. “Do you really think I’m gonna tell you?” It didn’t take me long to think it through. “No . . . ” I mumbled. “Well, if you don’t mind, we’re leaving now.” That was the last thing Dr. Hare said before he left. “Well. That’s just SWELL!” I said sarcastically. [Now it’s YOUR turn to FINISH the story FOR the author!]

Phoenix Master – The Legend Of Great Booga (Chapter One): by Hapykidi1

I have about the worst life ever. I’m an orphan, the one lucky moment I can’t tell anyone about is when I found my powers. you see, I’m a Phoenix Master, among many of the “Masters.” another lucky moment was the saddest as well. I used to live on 24 carrot, I was out of Middle school and i slept wherever I could. I was a popular girl, but not rich at all. One Day, a friend said “You deserve a better life, I know that and so do you. You’re not finding it here though.” she handed me a note. It said:

“I dare you to move
~ Invisible Onion”

“Why?” I asked her, but Onion was already gone. I flipped it over, and i saw it was a postcard with many signatures and Onions, saying goodbye underneath it. I sighed, stuffed it in my pocket, and went to ask for food scraps before I left. I planned that I was to go to Shark tooth that day. After supper on the streets I set off.

It took me about a day and a half to get there, when I got there, a man said I deserved something nice to wear, and handed me some credits and a free item the was a slick fake shark fin. When I got to the store, something caught my eye, a Tiger shark outfit. i grabbed it and paid for it. Soon after I put it on, with the hood down, I went to the shark museum.

I explored some, when I got to the bottom floor though, I saw a boy, wearing a Great White costume. I stayed and chatted every saturday, and I wish I still could. about 3 days after I had arrived I got the news of the Tsunami that hit 24 carrot. That meant either Onion was a Master like me, or she died. Anyways, about the 6th or 7th saturday with who I know as Shark Boy, (as many others do) He told me that there was a Truth or Dare game at the tourist center… [To be continued in future Poptropican’s 911 issues!]

CSI Poptropica episode 1 “The thrill of the mime”: by Popcheatster

The dark shadow of an ominous figur zoomed by from desk to desk barely avoiding being detected by red lasers. The laser beams scanned the room like an eagle for it’s prey. The ominous figure dressed in black and white zoomed through the area like a dart! Flash!!! He was now gone and into the next room.

There was a security guard slumped in a chair drinking coffee through a see through window. She came out and handed the black and white figure a folder.

The content of the folder was priceless. If people knew. They would put their lives at risk just to get it. The black and white figure darted out of the first room in a flash again! Wisk!

“He’s gone!” said a few police units running into the scene, “he got another one of them. It’s too late now.”

The other officers raced back out of the art musuem. The dark chilly night made the officer shiver. His teeth clacked together and he wrapped his hands across his body. Then all of a sudden the light bulbs burst one after another!!! Boom! Sparks and light bulb peices flew in all directions. Bombs had been planted in them! The officers ducked as sparks flew in all directions.

“After that blimp!” yelled one of the officers blinded by the sparks, “we can’t let the mime get away with that folder! Get the mime!”

Back at the main base at the spy island headquarters. The members of CSI are struggling to put the peices together. “Sir, we tracked down anyplace besides here that has long range internet access and all we have is the cafe on Nabooti island. Based on the time limit. He should already be there or worse…he already posted the stuff he needed and is already gone,” spoke the head Brave Sneeze.

“Sir, what exactly is he trying to do?” spoke White Fang

“It’s classified, White Fang. It’s beyond your pay level.”

“Sir, if we want to solve this case and stop that mime, just let me in on it.”

“Follow me, White Fang. I want to show you something,” spoke director Brave Sneeze as they walked up the metal stairs towards the main computer. He switched the red button and opened a file marked “mastermime:missing 12/23/09. The mastermimes files and everything known about him opened up, “He’s called mastermime. They call him that because everytime he steals a file he’s deadly silent and well…he’s a freak who dresses in black and white.”

“Missing?” said Gray Fang

“(ahem) Well, yes. He dissapeared one night by nightfall. Gone, just gone.”

“What about the folders? Why the heck is a mime after folders?! And why did he dissapear, Brave Sneeze?”

“The folders contained valuable information on…upcoming islands.They’re clues/ sneak peeks, we can’t let that happen. He’s trying to reveal top secret information on a website known as the poptropica creators claiming they created our world. Imbeciles, freaks, nothing more.”

All of a sudden two agents with neuron guns stepped near the computer.

“Sir, we found him and we have him sorrounded near the cafe. He’s there with 6 of those folders stolen from our base. We got ‘im,” spoke one of the spy agents.

Gray Fang an Brave Sneeze and 4 other agents boarded a bright blue and white helicopter. It’s blades whirred loudly as they were lifted into the air.

“Agent, is he armed with any weapons?” asked director Brave Sneeze.

“Oh yes, he has a double A burst laser shot. State of the art technology.Hand held laser pistol. It’s sold renegade alien weaponary, it’s illegal to buy, sir. He probaly got it on the poptropica store, the black market also created by these “creators”, sir”

The helicopter landed on a dirt patch of road. Dirt flew in all directions and blinded the eyes of the agents. As they got near the cafe they saw that 6 armed laser cannon agents had poised a position outside of the cafe. The bright flashes of the computer were seen through the stick windows of the cafe.As they closed in, the mime opened a burst of fire. A laser dart hit a Big Zeke’s truck and it flipped over in a flash of green and exlopsion of fiery red!

The agents moved in towards the scene. The mime used canisters of gas, also illegal items. The cafe was filled with gas. As the gas cleared up the mime was gone. Now, all eyes were on the computer because bright blue words said:

Your post has been published at 2:34 P.M. by mastermime

Back at the base everybody was in a state of panic. New information on the upcoming Greek island was out.

“Wait a minute, go back to the other page, no way back to one of the first posts on spy island. That’s us! Right there! How did they

get a picture of us in our base?” [To be continued in future Poptropican’s 911 issues!]

The Diabolical Plot (Part 1): by Golden Shell

The Poptropican in the pink bunny suit with long ears, rabbit teeth, green goggles, whiskers, and fluffy white cotton tail looked darkly down the table at his other fellow members of the SSPV, his eyes icy and his long rabbit whiskers quivering. “Well?” he said coldly.

Director D cleared his throat. “Um, well, uh….” he hesitated, apparently trying to find the right words. Then he finally spoke again. “Er, um, well…..anyone got a plan on how to take over Poptropica…..?”

The Black Widow scowled at him, her eyes frosty underneath her wild black hair. “Well, have you got a plan, Mr. Bunny Genius?” she snapped.

“Um……well, er, no,” Dr. Hare admitted, feeling stupid.

“See?” the Binary Bard said. “If we’re going to take over Poptropica before taking over the universe, then we need to come up with a plan together. Why else did we create the SSPV, the Secret Society of Poptropica’s Villains?”

“WAIT!” Director D yelled. “HOLD EVERYTHING!!!”

“Oh, what?” Dr. Hare snapped.

“Well, this morning I heard that Princess Fredericka and her sister, Carlotta, are going to be at the Poptropica Stadium to watch a head-to-head-to-head-to-head Sky Dive game between four Poptropicans—Green Seal, Neat Whale, Scary Tomato, and some other person,” Director D said.

“Who is that person, exactly?” the Black Widow inquired.

“I dunno, I forget that person’s name,” Director D said impatiently. “Anyway, there are going to be five rounds of that game, like all Poptropica games in the stadium. Once that fifth round is finished, we’re going to use our silver ship, the Villain King, to sail through the sky and in sight of the entire stadium. Then, a troop of our army—”

“What army?” Dr. Hare interrupted. “We don’t have one.”

“We’ll make one,” Director D snapped. “Anyway, like I was saying……………”

When he was finished explaining his plan, all of the other villains were smirking. “Perfect,” the Black Widow commented. “Sounds good to me,” Dr. Hare added. “Me too,” the Binary Bard said. “Then let’s do this,” Director D concluded.

Meanwhile, Princess Fredericka was smiling as she walked into the Poptropica Stadium with her sister, Carlotta. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch the very first game held in the brand-new stadium, because on the first day that tickets to watch the Sky Dive game in the stadium were on sale, they had all run out in just half an hour—a new record. Fredericka had been so disappointed when she found out that all the tickets were already gone and she couldn’t buy any for herself and Carlotta, but fortunately, Neat Whale, a close friend of theirs, had been smart enough to buy tickets for them so that they could watch her compete in the huge Sky Dive game—she didn’t need any tickets because she was one of the people that had won the contest to play in the very first game at the stadium.

As Fredericka and Carlotta approached the roped-off reserved area, a brown mustached Poptropican wearing a scarlet uniform stepped in front of them, about to say that they could not sit in that part, but when he realized who they were, he quickly bowed and stepped aside. “Good day, Princesses,” he said. “Good day,” Fredericka and Carlotta both said, and they curtsied politely to the man before he pulled away the red rope that surrounded the reserved area and let them enter it so that they could take their seats to watch the game.

It was quite obvious why Fredericka and Carlotta got reserved seats—after all, they were the Princesses of Arturus, although Fredericka was considered somewhat more special because she was the new ruler of Arturus. Even though they were sisters—Carlotta being the older one—they were different in many ways. Fredericka had long, beautiful blond silken hair, while Carlotta had lengthy, pretty brown hair. Fredericka was adventurous and more of a fighter, and usually fought with a sword, while Carlotta was more proper and ladylike and did not fight very often, but when she did, she usually used a parasol as her weapon. Fredericka was just about never kidnapped because she could fight her kidnappers off, but Carlotta was abducted by the Binary Bard once and was more of a damsel in distress. (If you want to know, Carlotta is the princess that you  have to rescue in your Astro-Knights quest.)

As Fredericka and Carlotta looked on from their seats, the entire crowd of millions of Poptropicans cheered as the competitors in the Sky Dive game—Green Seal, Neat Whale, Scary Tomato, and you, the random person—gathered into the stadium. You all get onto the cloud that is high above the stadium with your parachutes and wait for the announcer to say, “Ready, set, GO!” Once he does, you all leap off the cloud and fall through the air, the wind whistling around you as you look down to see that the ground is getting closer and closer until…………..

SLAM!
“NEAT WHALE WINS THE FIRST ROUND!” the announcer yells.
Dang it. You opened your parachute too late and slammed right into the ground, along with Scary Tomato and Green Seal. Neat Whale was the only one who opened her parachute on time.

The next round……..
“SCARY TOMATO WINS THE SECOND ROUND!” the announcer shouts.
Doggone it. You opened your parachute too soon and ended up floating a long way down to the ground, while Green Seal slammed into the ground again and Neat Whale did the same as you. Scary Tomato beat all of you.

The third…………..
“GREEN SEAL IS THE WINNER!”

The fourth………..
“NEAT WHALE WINS!”

Now it’s the fifth and last round, but you haven’t won a single round of the game, unlike the others. You pray and hope that you win this round, but it looks more as if Neat Whale is going to win. She won more rounds than all of you, after all—Scary Tomato won one, Green Seal won one, Neat Whale won two, and you won zero.

Moments later………
“[your name here] WINS!”

You won! You won the last round! Even though it’s Neat Whale who is the official champion since she won two and the rest of you won one, it doesn’t matter because at least you won a round of the Sky Dive game. The entire crowd cheers loudly for you, Neat Whale, Green Seal, and Scary Tomato, and Neat Whale lifts her hand into the air to ask the crowd to stop their cheering, while you grin broadly, Green Seal does a little dance, and Scary Tomato just smiles.

But what is this? The crowd stops cheering and instead starts gasping as a blood red fog fills the sky and a huge silver ship slowly sails right out of it.

OH NO! THE VILLAIN KING HAS ARRIVED! [To be continued in future Poptropican’s 911 issues!]

The Conquering Scheme (Part 1): by Golden Shell

It was a beautiful sunny afternoon as huge crowds of Poptropicans gathered to watch an archery competition specially arranged by Her Imperial Highness, the Princess Fredericka, Golden Shell, new ruler of Arturus, sister of Princess Carlotta. (By the way, Carlotta is the princess that you have to rescue in the Astro-Knights quest.) As ordinary Poptropicans chatted together happily, spy agents from Spy Island stood next to Fredericka and Carlotta as bodyguards as the two Princesses sat upon scarlet silk cushions in their reserved place to watch the archery contest.

The director of the entire spy agency, however, served as the chief bodyguard, and stood near the reserved place, pacing back and forth, back and forth, keeping an eye on the crowds of Poptropicans, who were all now settling on wooden benches. The contestants in the competition waited, fidgeting with their arrows restlessly, a few smiling flirtatiously at Fredericka and Carlotta. Carlotta blushed bright pink and smiled back at those archers, but Fredericka ignored them and turned to a spy agent standing next to her. “Agent Ice?” she said.

“Yes, Your Imperial Highness?” he asked, bowing so low that his dark glasses nearly fell off his face.

“Would you please do the honors of starting the competiton for us?” Fredericka inquired.

“Yes, my good lady,” Agent Ice said quickly. As he bent to pick up the long golden trumpet lying near his feet, he studied Princess Fredericka for a few moments. She was very beautiful, with her long blond hair tied neatly into a braid with a green silk ribbon, just like her sister. Plus, Fredericka was wise, brave, adventerous, and very self-sacrificing—she was more like a queen than a princess, but because her mother and father were still alive, that meant that they still held their titles as queen and king, although Fredericka now had the throne.

“Agent Ice? Agent Ice?!? Will you please hurry and blow the trumpet to announce the start of the competition? The archers and the crowds are getting very restless,” Fredericka said, snapping Agent Ice out of his thoughts.

“Oh yeah—sure, Princess,” Agent Ice said, quickly putting the trumpet to his lips. Then he blew, making a loud noise that immediately silenced the archers and the crowds of chatting Poptropicans. “Ladies and gentlemen!” Agent Ice proclaimed. “In the name of Her Imperial Highness, the fair Princess Fredericka, let the archery competition start!” The crowds burst into loud cheers and applause, and a redheaded Poptropican girl by the name of Silver Star leaped up and yelled, “YAHOO!”

But, suddenly, the crowds stopped cheering and applauding and started gasping. Confused, Fredericka looked around, wondering why everyone had now gone so pale and panic-stricken, even the archers. “What in Poptropica is going on?” she asked.

“Um, Fredericka……look up,” Carlotta said, pointing a shaking hand up at the sky.

“Alright……” Fredericka looked up a little warily at first, thinking that Carlotta was playing a prank on her, but then her eyes widened. Ugly black clouds were filling the sky, blending together to look like a huge fog, and a huge silver ship sailed out of it all, bearing huge, bold red lettering on its side: VILLAIN KING.

“What the—” Before Fredericka could say anything else, a little door opened on the bottom of the Villain King and out dropped, into the field where the archery competition was taking place, a huge red-and-black monster that appeared to be half-Poptropican and half-monster, and his name was Barry Beast. He then started to slowly approach the archers, who were Neat Whale, Green Seal, Scary Tomato, and you.

Carlotta gasped, but Fredericka did not; instead an expression appeared on her face that clearly said, “Oh dang it!” Then, she hurried down the steps out of where she and her sister had been sitting, and Carlotta followed closely behind, holding her skirts up a little so that she wouldn’t trip, as they rushed to help the archers fight Barry Beast. Then, Fredericka leaped powerfully into the air, the long skirt of her green silk dress swirling as she landed next to Neat Whale and you before she pulled her long sword out. Carlotta, however, was more dainty and ladylike, and so she simply leaped into the air, pulled out her parasol, and opened it as she started to land, causing her to float gently down to the ground next to Green Seal and Scary Tomato. (Sort of like Princess Peach’s move, eh? Fredericka’s like the Poptropican version of Zelda while Carlotta’s like the Poptropican version of Peach.)

No matter how much and how hard the archers and the two princesses tried to fight Barry Beast, Barry Beast was never affected the least bit by their attacks. At last, weary and dazed, you sit down on the grass, and so do the others. Suddenly, the Binary Bard swoops in on a floating metal platform from the ship, holding a little silver sphere. Then he presses a little button on the back of it and then it starts quivering and shaking violently before—BAM! A long ray of green shoots out of the sphere and straight into Green Seal!

A few seconds later, Green Seal falls to the ground, but no longer herself.
She had been turned into a page-less book, with her on the cover!
“NO!” Fredericka screams. “NO! GREEN SEAL!”

The Binary Bard simply laughs at her. “Foolish princess!” he says. “Screaming yourself hoarse will never bring your silly little friend back to normal! Now Poptropica, and the universe, WILL BELONG TO THE VILLAINS! BWA HA HA HA!”
Suddenly the Binary Bard stops laughing and an ugly smirk appears on his face. “Wait……why leave now with Green Seal when I’ve got more victims in front of me?” he says. Then he turns toward Carlotta, presses the little button on the sphere, and BAM! The long ray of green shoots out and heads straight for Carlotta so quickly that before she knows it, it’s only half an inch away from her.

“NOOOOOOOO!!!” Scary Tomato leaps in front of Carlotta, shielding her, but by doing this, the ray of green strikes into Scary Tomato, turning him into a page-less book as well, with him on the front!
The Binary Bard smirks again, picks up book-transformed Green Seal and Scary Tomato, and laughs some more, tempting you so horribly to rush forward and give him a hard punch in the face. Then he flies away on his metal platform, toward the huge silver ship.

You stare after him, burning with hatred, wishing so desperately for any way to rescue Green Seal and Scary Tomato. But you also wonder where the heck the Binary Bard and the other villains got that ship. You—

“AHHHHHH!!!!”

You whirl around, startled by the scream. Then you realize that Barry Beast is gripping Fredericka and Carlotta in his scaly clawed hands, and is rushing away, roaring triumphantly, maybe planning to go straight to the villains and give them the princesses!
“YOU’RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE, YOU UGLY MONSTER!” a voice suddenly yelled, and you immediately recognize it as Neat Whale’s. She leaps forward and aims a high-flying karate kick at Barry Beast’s head, but he manages to clamp his jaws onto her leg, swing her around and around as she screams, and then lets go. She flies through the air, still yelling, until—BANG! She lands on the ground, and although you expect her to get to her feet again, she doesn’t. She simply lies there, motionless, and you quickly rush over, panic filling you, until you check her heartbeat and you instantly become thankful that it’s still there. Suddenly you turn around to face Barry Beast, who roars loudly at you, challenging you to try to rescue Fredericka or Carlotta.

Now, you must make a difficult choice—to save either Fredericka or Carlotta.

Fredericka is beautiful, but she is also very wise and may know more things than you do, so that means that she can help you with advice if you’re unsure of something, and another thing is that if you rescue her, she will promise to do a favor for you. Also, if you save Fredericka and you two run into any of the villains or another monster, she will help you fight, because she is excellent  at hand-to-hand combat, is quick and nimble, and nearly unbeatable with her trusty sword, plus she can cast spells and do magic, which helps in fighting. And, if you and Fredericka are surrounded by a wicked army and there isn’t any escape, Fredericka can grab you and do a powerful leap through the air. Plus, thanks to her magic, she and you can stay up in the air until you two are as far from the army as possible.

Carlotta is also very pretty, but like Fredericka, if you rescue Carlotta she will promise to do you a favor. Plus, if you rescue Carlotta and if you two run into any villains or another monster, she can easily put them to sleep for a few hours with her dancing. Also, if you two are surrounded by an evil army and there is no escape, she can use her parasol to have you and her go up into the air and float away to safety. Carlotta is also somewhat good at hand-to-hand combat, and she can knock out someone with just one or two hard whacks of her parasol.

So, who do you pick to rescue? And why? [To be continued in future Poptropican’s 911 issues!]

Island Ideas

If you could go anywhere in the big wide world, where would it be?

Morph Island: by Hannah B.

The character would arrive there and not a person in sight. Instead, the island seems to be overrun by animals. You walk past a parrot that’s choking on a nut and you help it and then it says, ‘Thanks buddy’ and you’re like, ‘What!!?? You can talk?’. Then other animals come and they start to explain that they’re actually people but the dastardly ‘Monty the Metamorpher’ had transformed them into animals so that he could rule the world and if anyone who was still a person was found they would become animals too. And then I don’t know what I’m going to do so let’s skip to the end.

Monty finds you and says, ‘Ha ha ha! What is this? A HUMAN on my island? Bua ha ha ha! Since I am a merciful Lord you can choose what you’re going to be.’ Then you get to choose to be one of 5 animals which can all defeat him but in different ways because they have different abilities. You can choose to be a: Bird=It can fly. Gecko=It can stick to walls. Frog=It can ‘hurt’ the enemy from afar because of its tongue. Scorpion=It can sting the enemy. Wolf=It can bite really hard and run very fast.

Then he runs away laughing evilly. Somehow you find his secret lair and defeat him using the special abilities of the animals (you can make up how they do that) and then you find his morph ray and press the undo button then you become a person again and then you see all the people in the town rejoicing because they’re people again. Then you see a rather magnificent peacock turning into a king who gives you the island medallion. The End.

Doctor Who Island: by Green Boa

A little bit like Astro Knights Island, but you travel through time to find a special energy sorce, which is letting a evil robot race build a massive army to conquer the universe, starting with earth, and WHOOPS! I mean Poptropica! Anyway, you have to fly the doctor’s time and space ship while avoiding aliens to shut down the machine that is supplying the robot power source and return it to ear- no no no, POPTROPICA, and make use the machine to rebuild the island.

Easter Egg

Go for a Helicopter Spin

Ever wanted to ride a helicopter… by holding onto the top propellers? You can have such a dizzy time spinning on Reality TV Island:

1. To perform this glitch, you must get the helicopter on top of the Wayside Motel on Reality TV Island. Find out how to do this in our Reality TV help guide!
2. Stand on top and center of the helicopter, where the spinning propellers are.
3. Your character will spin round rapidly and repeatedly, and yawn while spinning! Alternatively, if you are wearing anything that may trigger an action (example: the Robin Hood bow from the Poptropica Store), you would be doing your special move instead of yawning!

Fashion

Almost time to put away those winter woolies. Spring has sprung, and fashionists will agree that even trends should suit the seasons. Jackets, robotic gear, and any unique handheld items you find will all come in handy in these times!
