Ruby Gloom
"WAHOO!"Iris exclaimed as she brought the engine of the motorcycle to life.
"Iris sure has been enjoying herself with that motorcycle!"Boo-Boo observed as she crashed against a tree for the third time.
"I know!But I am worried about Squig."Ruby looked over at the gargantuan flying worm.
The light in his eyes was gone.A cloud of gloom hovered above him as he let out a sigh.
Iris had been ignoring him since she got her hands on that red motorcycle.
She thought it was the next best thing since slice bread.
Poor Squig was starting to miss his exuberant cyclops owner.
Tears welled in his eyes as he honked for attention.
But his sad honks were lost in Iris' cries of joy.
"He even picked on his meal like a you have seen his appetite!"Ruby continued.
"And I cannot even get Iris off that vehicle!Poor Squig!"
Right now,the gang was having Ruby tipped his food into his bowl,Squig just pushed it away.
"Come on,I know how are you feeling but you still need to dinner,I bet Iris would be running towards you to play!"she encouraged him.
He looked at his collar.
Once,it had been his pride and joy,symbolising his friendship with Iris but now,he realized.
It was just a leather band that was fastened around his neck used as a mean of recognition.
But without that adventurous girl by his side,he felt that he had lost his identity.
So what was the point of keeping it?
He felt the tears of despair coming to his eyes as he threw it away and left silently in the cover of the dark.
