This is my first Ruby Gloom fanfic, so critics are accepted. As I can see this is the first Scaredy-centered fanstory. I hope you'll like it.
Chapter 1: Leaving home
That day Scaredy woke up with a terrible bad feeling. "Today something terrible will happen. Oh dear." he thinked. Then he went downstairs for having breakfast.
But, when he arrived in the kitchen, he saw that his friends aren't here. "That's strange, this usually is breakfast-time. Oh dear, probably my foreboding was true, and something really bad was happened!".
"Hey Scaredy."
"AAAAAAHHHHH!...Oh, that's you Ruby, you scared me." Scaredy ran to meet his friends Ruby and Skullboy. "Why aren't you having breakfast? And where are the others?".
"Did not we tell you? Skullboy and I are going to do a romantic...ehhh,I mean... a roaming trip around Gloomsville."
"But, but, you can't leave us! How we can stay without you!"
"Oh, don't worry, Scaredy, we'll come back soon."
"By the way, where are the others?"
"Iris is left with Squig, Frank and Len are in tour, and Poe is gone to a 'Really important reunion'"
"And Misery?"
"No one know where she is. I haven't seen her yet."
Scaredy opened his eyes wide:"WHAT! You mean that I have to stay ALONE? But I can't... I can't..."
Ruby took the little bat in her arms:"There's nothing to be afraid of, Scaredy. Staying alone is not so bad. Look on the bright side: you'll have a lot of time for yourself."
"Maybe you're right, Ruby... Wait, and Boo Boo?"
"He has a meeting with his boss, I think"
"Ohhh, ok, ok, you've convinced me, you can leave as you like."
Ruby hugged Scaredy. "Thanks, thanks so, so much!".
So, that's it. The next chapter'll require a quite long time. See you next time.
