Peacefullyy And The Giraffe

I have always loved Animal Jam. Jamaa is such an intriguing place- adventures and parties are always such fun, but things changed after beta testing... I have always wished things would go back to how they were before...

Except once, I wished too hard.

As usual, after school, I logged into my Animal Jam account named 'Peacefullyy', and completed the daily spin. 75 gems times 3. Not too bad. At least I could buy a little something to put on my bunny avatar, Victory Quietpaw.

As the daily spin closed, Jamaa Township was in view. Bustling, as always. Jammers asking for trades, promoting clans at their dens, and the occasional 'gift me i'm recording'. But one jammer's text bubble caught my eye, and they went by the username Wolf01667, and the animal name Scooter Arcticivy. Their speech bubble read 'trade me, skully on trade'. Other jammers exclaimed insults at poor Scooter, who I assumed was just an innocent jammer who appeared to have a skully on their trade list. I didn't know skullies were once inappropriate items, for I was just a happy-go-lucky nine-year-old Animal Jam player.

No.

As I opened Scooter's trade list, sure enough, a skully was there, but accompanied by a black giraffe plushie. Giraffes have always been my favourite animal, and I had never had the luck to be awarded with one from the claw. I traded for it, and the trade was accepted. I was pleased. Suddenly, as I collapsed Scooter's player card, the insults had stopped. I didn't know what they were about, because I didn't read them, but judging by the use of capital letters and enraged emotes used, I could tell the other jammers were angry.

Everything was a mystery.

I logged off after that, and the next day logged back on in the morning, for it was a Saturday and school had finished for the week. I spotted Scooter again in the crowds of the township- they were easily recognisable with their brightly coloured panda. They weren't speaking, but the skully was still their on their trade list. 'Trade me, will accept,' they said suddenly. I traded them for the skully, and added three mats, and instead of clicking a fourth, I accidentally clicked the giraffe plushie.

But before I could cancel the trade, it was accepted.

It was too late to get it back.
