Ruby Gloom

Skull Dull

It was Ruby's time to cook dinner,much to the delight of her friends living with her in the Victorian manor.

Right now,she was preparing a salad as an appetizer.

As she tossed the fresh lettuce with the deep-fried artichokes and the seared tuna,Doom Kitty looked at it and began drooling like a waterfall.

Ruby's cooking could make anyone's taste-buds tingle with delight.

"No Doom,I cannot give you the seared tuna now!"Ruby chided her with a smile.

Doom Kitty trudged her way out of the kitchen like a tortoise,despondent over the fact that she did not even get a morsel of the food.

She meowed dramatically,as though she was a victim of famine.

Just as she left,Skull Boy entered the kitchen.

"Hey Ruby!Could you remind me what time are we supposed to go to the writers' convention?"Skull Boy asked.

"Doom,do not even think of trying to fool me with that Skull Boy robot!Besides,Skull Boy is probably preoccupied with finding out who he is! "Ruby casually said

as she continued to cut the yellow pepper without looking behind her,oblivious to the fact that she was talking to the REAL Skull Boy.

Skull Boy's face became contorted with confusion.

Did he forget an appointment with Ruby just because of his obsession of finding out who he is?

"In a way,Skull Boy reminds me of an archaeologist who has found his own bones but doesn't know their origin.

He's really committed to his conclusions and can be distracted by them!"Ruby continued.

"Like when he thought he was related to a long line of spies and stole my pie,

forgetting that it was my meal!"Ruby rolled her eyes after remembering the incident.

Skull Boy slapped himself on the forehead."How could I be so selfish?"Skull Boy mumbled

as he shook his head.

A million thoughts came through his head.

He was completely baffled by the fact that Ruby considered

him not just as a friend but her best friend.

"But whatever happens,you can count on 's very intelligent,fearless,kind,sweet,cute...!"Ruby

rambled on and on about his good qualities,

nearly going into a daydream.

But Skull Boy wasn't listening.

He had already turned and walked away.
