"Leave that alone Ceasar!" Julius, the Koi Warrior said to his petpet doglefox, who kept sticking his paw in the toaster. Zap! Julius plugged the toaster in while Ceasar�s paw was inside. "Now I hope you�ve learned you lesson," Julius said to the now black doglefox. Ceasar hissed madly and hoped off the counter, sending burnt fur all over the floor. Julius sighed and went to get a broom. "Julius, Julius!" Tenchi, Julius� fearful wocky friend burst through the front door of Julius� Neohome, slamming Julius in the face. "What is it Tenchi?" Julius sighed, rubbing his face. "Julius you gotta help me!" Tenchi roared, grabbing Julius by the armour and looking around madly. "What is it Tenchi!?" Julius asked, prying himself from the Wocky�s grasp. "They�re out to get me Julius, They�re everywhere, we have to be careful," Tenchi whispered. Then he squeaked and dove behind the sofa as Ceasar came out of the bathroom. Ceasar gave the sofa a weird look and walked into the kitchen. Julius sighed, "For the last time Tenchi, what�s chasing you?" Tenchi�s head popped up from behind the sofa and he whispered, "Asparagus." Julius stifled a laugh. Asparagus! What next, garden shrubs? Oh, no wait, that was last week. "Tenchi, asparagus isn�t going to hurt you, you eat it, it�s completely harmless!" Julius grabbed Tenchi by the scruff of his neck and pulled him from behind the sofa. "You�ll be sorry Julius, the asparagus will get you!" Tenchi yelled, his eyes widening. Then he wiggled from Julius� grasp and burst out the door. Julius sighed and took the broom into the kitchen where Ceasar once again had his paw in the toaster. "Ceasar!" Julius yelled, dropping the broom and grabbing Ceasar. The doglefox hissed loudly and wiggled to free himself. "No way Ceasar Doglefox, I�ve had enough of this!" Julius dropped Ceasar and grabbed the toaster, throwing it into the backyard. Ceasar hissed madly and ran after it, only to slam into the glass door. "Now I shouldn�t have any problems with you," Julius pointed a webbed finger at his dazed doglefox, "Now off to bed with you! I�m tired!" Julius grabbed Ceasar and tossed him into his DogleHouse. Then he yawned and trudged off to his room.

In the backyard......
The toaster which Julius had thrown into yard now glowed and odd blue. It floated into the air and there was a popping noise and the toaster grew ten times in size and sprouted eyes, a nose, arms, and legs. It trudged toward the house, groaning. It stopped and stared into the patio window. Ceasar, who was awakened by the groaning noise stared wide eyed at the massive toaster, which just today he had been sticking his paw inside. The toaster groaned again and Ceasar hissed cowardly, scampering into Julius� room and leaping into the bed, hissing like mad. "Ceasar! What the heck are you doing!?" Julius yelled, fumbling around in the dark for the bedside lamp. Then there was a loud thud as Julius hit the floor. "Ceasar, your gonna get it!" Julius yelled, flicking on the lamp. Ceasar was now under the covers and shaking like crazy. "Ceasar!? What�s gotten into you!?" Julius ripped the covers off the frightened doglefox and picked him up. Ceasar�s eyes darted around like mad in their sockets, then he jumped as a massive eye appeared in Julius� window. Ceasar was under the covers again and Julius turned around to look out the window, just as the eye disappeared. Julius sighed and got back into bed, "You can sleep in here for tonight, but no more horror movies after nine Mr. Macho!" Julius pointed a finger at the shivering doglefox and flicked off the light, hoping to get a few hours sleep.

"They�re waiting for someone, it may as well be us," Tenchi said, swaying back and forth and staring into space. "For the last time Tenchi, the asparagus aren�t waiting for anyone!" Julius yelled, looking up the empty street, hoping to see some sign of the parade so he could get home. Many Neopets ran happily through the street as they awaited the parade. Ceasar shivered madly from atop of Julius� head as his eyes continued to jump around in their sockets. Then the sound of drums and trumpets could be heard as Julius caught a glimpse of the first two mutants carrying a banner which read: "Please Be Fair, All We Want Is A Little Tender Loving Care!" Julius hated coming to these pep rallies but they were for a good cause and he was a Koi Warrior, he had to set a good example for the young Neopets. The Parade of Mutants continued but was suddenly interrupted by a loud stomping noise. Then Julius could hear the screams of many Neopets as the ran away from what look like a....... giant toaster? Julius� jaw dropped as he saw the shiny metal of what looked like......HIS TOASTER! Julius floated into the middle of he street, his Koi Trident appearing in his hand. Ceasar had now taken a comfortable seat underneath Julius� helmet. The toaster stopped, looking down at the puny Neopet that was challenging him. The toaster looked around at the fleeing Neopets and grabbed a mutant chia. It wiggled and screamed madly and the toaster smiled. "Let him go!" Julius yelled, bringing his Koi Trident back, ready to throw it. "I will let this pathetic creature go if you are able to answer this riddle for me. I will also return to being a normal toaster, but you�ll never get this," The toaster boomed and smiled down at Julius. "Give me your best shot!" Julius yelled back. "I see light, but am always in the dark. I see Neopets, but they never see me. I hear Neopets, but they never hear me. What am I?" The toaster smiled widely as a look of utter puzzlement crossed Julius� face. Julius thought hard for a moment, then his face lit up. "A chia, in a barrel, looking though a knot whole, with strep throat!" The toaster�s grin vanished and before he could say anything there was a pop and he returned to a normal toaster. Julius caught the falling chia and placed him on the ground. "How did you know that Mr. Warrior sir?" asked the young muntant. Julius laughed, "Never ask a riddle to a Koi Warrior who spends his spare time surfing riddle websites!"
