Hello authors and readers! I have been really busy lately... ya know... school is coming to the end. Yep, I'm still in school. I am a freshman in high school (You probably don't care though.), and with the end of the year right around the corner I am finding less and less time to work on this. However, I am working at my most efficient speed. This book is alot harder to write than some would think, and putting in all of the stuff in my head into the book isn't the easiest thing in the world. Well, either way, roll film! (Don't own Danny Phantom or Ruby Gloom.)
(Amity Park, night.)
"Is this the place?" A girl's voice seemed to come out of the darkness.
"Fenton Works... home of Danny Phantom. Kekekekekekekek." A boy's voice cackled.
Arlright! Attention! This is a main song throughout the story! For those of you that can, listen to this song while reading.- .com/watch?v=2P_RtHDhmPc or Ruby Gloom Alternate Theme
There was a ruffling of paper and the sound of electronics. The girl let off a giggle. "Oooooooooooh. Babababababababa. Oooooooooh. Bababababababababa. In our town, she's the happiest around. No doubt this will get her down. And they call her Ruby Gloooooooooooom." The voices sang. Out of the darkness a whirlwind that seemed to be made out of darkness sucked at everything in the darkness, the tail hidden in the darkness. It crept up to the open window on one of the highest floors. "Oooooooooooh. Rubaay. Ruby Gloom. Ooooooooh. Rubaay. Ruby Gloom. Come in."
"In the night." A backup of two male voieces sang.
"Everything." The original singer replied. There was now a bulge in the tornado, heading down towards the tail.
"Oh me oh my." The backup replied.
"Sit down."
"In her room."
"Come and visit Ruby Gloom!" The four voices sang in unison. The portal vanished, as did the voices. The night was silent again. Except for two parents.
"Danny? Danny, are you alright?" A concerned mother asked, coming in to the teenage boy's room.
"Man! It looks like a tornado hit this place! Look, paper scattered everywhere. Books fallen off the shelf. Danny's bed sheets are in tangles." A large man said, gesturing everywhere.
"Wait! His bed!"
"What about it?" The father asked.
"Jack! It is empty!" The lady replied.
"Great scott! Maddie! Our son's gone!" Jack Fenton yelled. The woman picked up a card on the ground. It read 'The missing individual(s) has (have) been taken to Gloomsville.'
"Jack? Where's Gloomsville?" Maddie Fenton asked. Jack leans over to Danny's computer, typing quickly.
"There is no such thing as Gloomsville!" He yelled, slamming a meaty hand on the desk. "NNOOOOOOOO!" The yell echoed throughout the city.
(Gloomsville, the next morning)
A pasty, red haired girl came skipping out of the large mansion. She breathed in deeply. "What a beautiful, gloomy day!" She exclaimed happily. She takes one step forward, and tripped over something big. She pulled her head out of the ground, dusting her skirt off and turned to see what had caused her to land flat on her face. It appeared to be a boy, about fifteen years of age, wearing a white shirt. His brown hair over his eyes. "P-Poe!" The girl yelled towards the house. A rather fat crow flew up. The crow was dressed like an english gentleman, wearing a purple cloak, white gloves, and a monocle.
"What is it Ruby?" Poe asked. Ruby pointed down to the unconcious boy on the ground. "Brack! Poor lad! I'll get the others!" Poe flew back into the house. He was out cold, no doubt about that. He had cuts all along his body, probably from scraping against something. He also was bruised in several locations visible. He also had a nasty lump on his head.
"You seem to have taken quite the beating." Ruby said, smiling down at the boy. He stirred in his sleep, wincing slightly when he rolled onto his bruises. Ruby pulled him so that his side was lying on her lap. He sighed contently in his sleep, nuzzling closer to Ruby. Ruby stroked his hair absentmindedly, waiting for the others. The boy stirred slightly, his eyes moving below their lids.
"Ruby!" A group of people, as well as a few animals, were running towards her. "What happened?" A cyclops asked. he had shoulder length black hair, and a big, pink eye slighty below her forehead. A smile sneaked across her face when she saw where the boy was resting. "Oh, I see how it is. Come on guys, she's having a tender moment." Ruby's face darkened. As well as the living skeleton next to her. He didn't know why, but seeing her and this boy so close... it infuriated him. Ruby was about to reply when the boy's eyes fluttered open.
"Welcome to Gloomsville!" Misery yelled down at the mystery boy. Said boy, startled, his head flew forward, colliding with Misery's.
"Ow." The two said, holding their heads. Danny (If you didn't know it was Danny, then you must not be very insightful.) finally got a good look around, noticing the odd faces. "Please don't eat me..." Danny said, curling up into a ball, still unaware of where he was currently at. However, Danny's odd behavior brought a peal of laughter from Ruby's group of friends.
"Eat you?" Skull Boy laughed.
"On second glance, he does look yummy." Misery said, earning a slap on the back of the head from Iris. "What? I kid."
"It's okay." Ruby said. After realizing where he was, he leapt to his feet, his face flushing crimson. "You're smong friends now." She said with a smile. Danny started to feel a little better.
"Who are you? W-where am I?" He asks.
"I'm Ruby. This is Misery, Iris, Skull Boy, Poe, Doom Kitty, Scaredy Bat, Frank and Len." Ruby answered, pointing to each as she said their name.
"One more question." The boy said.
"Yes?" Ruby asked.
"Who am I?" The group looked at each other.
Cliffhanger! Danny Phantom has lost his memory! Who were the odd singers? What was with the tornado? And who is the man sitting in the background? Wait... what?
"Hmm... should I intervene?... No... not yet." The mystery boy mused, pulling on his white hair. His eyes were shut tight, his eyes moved underneath them. "Perhaps... this will be interesting."
Well... the plot thickens! What will happen in the next chapter? Stay tuned!
