Thank you AnimationNut for supplying me with the next chapter idea. Thank you. Remember, anyone can post a review! And please tell me what you want the next chapter to be based off of! You guys rock. I don't own Ruby Gloom, and the lines that you do not recognize are probably my own.
Master of Dimensions, Lichylichy.
"Charades. With Doom Kitty." Ruby said happily.
Frank, Len, Ruby, Iris, and Doom Kitty were all sitting in a circle. Doom pretended to use an old movie filming camera.
"You're punching someone's lights out." Frank guessed.
"Frank, it is not an actual game of charades. And besides, it's Ruby's line."
...
"Early to bed, early to rise, makes a crow healthy, wealth and need I say-" Poe said, leaning forward on one foot. He quickly lost his balance and smashed into the mirror.
"Poe! Are you all right?" The director yelled.
"I think I broke my leg!" Poe yelled back.
"Don't be absurd." The director said, getting closer. "How could you have- GOOD LORD ABOVE! Are legs supposed to bend in that direction?"
...
"It was just lucky that I was able to swoop in with nary a moment to spare, and pull that adorable little girl from the clutches of that runaway steam locomotive."
"That's a load of baloney." Misery said, narrowing her eyes. "Steam locomotives don't have clutches. And you'd probably be too scared of it. You have a fear of trains, remember?"
...
"One nice hot cup of tea coming right up." Iris said happily, hanging a kettle over the fire. "Owww!" She yelled and the tea pot fell into the flames. She clutched her burnt hand and tears began streaming from her one eye.
"Can you guys please stop getting hurt." The director said sternly.
"You think I enjoy burning my hand?" Iris snarled.
...
Poe knocked loudly on the door to the garage.
"Hello! Sorry to interrupt!" Poe yelled loudly, trying to be heard over Frank and Len's guitar. "But would you mind terribly turning down that infernal racket?"
"I happen to like this infernal racket." Len replied, cutting off Poe. The two then slammed the door in his face.
...
"It's nice of you to make lunch for Poe." Ruby said, knitting quietly.
"Zis masterpiece is proooof. I must be related to ze great french chef, Pierre LaBierre."
"I fear the pangs of hunger shall be my final undoing." Ruby grabbed the sandwhich, kissed the side of Skull Boy's face, and gave Poe the sandwich. Poe just stared. Ruby finally realized what she did.
"Oh... I... But... It reminded me of when dad was sick and had to bring him something to ease his stomach. I sort of did the same thing." Ruby said quietly.
...
"You can use my telescope if you like. It's amazing what you can see up there!" Skull Boy yelled from the floor.
"Alright. Thank you!" Poe said disgruntled.
"And there's a bell that goes right into the kitchen. So anything you need, just ring." Ruby Gloom said happily.
"But not too much." Skull Boy chuckled nervously.
"Yes. Ahaha, ha. Like this?" He asked, pulling the cord.
"Yes, just like that!" Ruby yelled back. "Do you think you'll be okay?"
"Me? Of course. I can keep a prop- What's that?" He asked suddenly, looking deeper into the telescope. Skull Boy suddenly began shuffling nervously. "Is that..." He was silent all of a sudden, and a blush crept behind his feathers and he immediately changed the position of the telescope.
...
"Yeah!" Len yelled.
"Cake!" Frank yelled. Ruby grabbed the cake and pulled it towards her. Maybe a little too fast. Frank put a finger in the frosting on her dress, and stuck it in his mouth. "What a waste of a perfectly good cake." He said between his finger. Len followed suit.
"I know." He agreed.
...
"The garage was getting kind of cramped." Len said.
"Let's get our things!" Frank yelled happily.
"Killer." The two barged out of the room and down the hall.
"Coming through!" Frank yelled, sending the two girls in the hall spinning. The girls stopped spinning, Iris covered in cake.
"Ruby, you shouln't have." Iris said smiling, licking frosting off her hand.
...
"Well well. Our new neighbor, I shall call him Mr. umm... Hmmm... let me see... Mr. Mmmmm, Mr. Mumbi, Mulbo, Mimi, Mumbles! Yes! Our Mr. Mumbles certainly has a lot of crates. Maybe he's a crate salesman." Mr. Mumbles began to whack away at the crate. "Hmmm... our Mr. Mumbles certainly-" Mr. Mumbles suddenly stopped, clutching his back in pain. "Has thrown out his back."
"What?" The director yelled, before running off set.
...
"Nooo! Iris is about to be the first victim! Aaah- eh- Oh. Is that a chocolate cake? Ah! Focus Poe! You must warn the house! Iris needs you! Dangerrrr! Dangeee-" Poe clutched his throat, coughing loudly. "I think I killed my voice." He said hoarsly.
...
"Why does no one in this house ever listen to a word I say? If only there was someone I could dispatch. Someone who could take flight and rescue her on my behalf." Edgar landed softly on the telescope. "Oh, hello Edgar. No, there's no time to chat now. Iris is in trouble." Edgar looked down at his brother in mild surprise. "Now, let's see... who to get, who to get. Oh!" Poe yelled, finally realizing that his broter could fly. He jumped, body and wheelchair, and tried to turn. Instead, the chair tipped, causing Poe to fall below, the chair not far behind. Edgar watched as Poe landed hard on the floor, wheelchair on top with a loud crash!
...
Frank and Len carefully poured the rest of the glass into Scaredy's mouth.
"Well, Monseuir Skulls was right. Warm milk really calms frazzled nerves." He unshakily got to his feet. "Well, if you'll excuse me, I must return to the kitchen to get more milk." He took the cup that was obviously too big for him in both wings and turned to head back down the stairs. Vertigo immediately set in, and with a moan of fear, Scaredy fell forward, instead of backwards like he was meant to. He tumble down the steps, the empty glass in front of him. When the thumping stopped Len yelled.
"You alright?" There was no reply.
...
"A hair bow! Oh, you monster! Poor Iris." He noticed Skull Boy heading towards the glass house. "Noooo! Not Skull Boy too! Hmm... I never noticed what a big head he has before. I've already lost one friend to the evil Mr. Mumbles. I will not lose another! If no one will come to my aid, then I shall take matters into my own injured claws!" He began hopping up and down on the platform, causing it to lower slowly. All of a sudden, the platform retracted. "Uh oh." Poe said, before falling, and let out a short strangled scream of terror before hitting the ground.
"Cut! Print! That's a wrap! Take ten everybody!" The director walked over to Poe. "That was brilliant! That was brilliant! How'd you fake surprise so easily?"
"Fake?" Poe asked.
...
Take 1
"I hope Poe is- OWWW!" Ruby yelled, holding her arm. "Owww!"
"What happened?" The director asked.
"I think I nudged the hot cauldron." Ruby whimpered.
Take 2
"I hope Poe is alright." Ruby said quietly. She resumed her stirring. "Well, I'm sure he'd ring if he needed anything." Her eyes fell on the cut string. She opened her mouth to say something, and a scream came out.
"Ruby, stop touching the cauldron." The director yelled.
"It's not like I enjoy doing it!" The girl replied.
Take 3
"I hope Poe is alright." Ruby said quietly. She resumed her stirring. "Well, I'm sure he'd ring if he needed anything." Her eyes fell on the cut string. "Oh no! The strings been cut!" She yelled, and turned to run down the stairs, tripped, fell, and landed hard. The wooden ladle was set ablaze not soon after.
...
Misery, Ruby, and Scaredy Bat all ran up the stairs. The summit was almost in reach. Misery had just pulled ahead... and tripped on her long blue dress. She fell, rolling down the stairs into Ruby and Scaredy and all three went tumbling.
"Ow." Misery said simply.
...
"Hey Ruby! We're almost moved in." Frank said, sounding accomplished.
"Yeah, we're totalling looking forward to our welcome cake." Len continued.
"That's great." Ruby said absentmindedly, climbing the amp with ease. "Coming Poe!" Misery tried, but the amp slowly began tilting towards the stairs.
"Uh oh." She said, and the amp fell, and began sliding down the stairs.
"Misery!" Frank and Len yelled. They grabbed the amp's plug, effectively stopping it. "Well don't just stand there! Help us!" The entire crew ran down the steps and pulled the amp off of Misery.
"London... Bridge is... falling down." She said disgruntedly.
...
"Hey. There's Alen. No! You're going to fast! Watch out for the-" Ruby yelled. She was interrupted by a large shattering noise. Alen had broken through the house.
...
Take 1
"Hey, let's say we try-" Mr. Mumbles began, twirling his cane. It hit the side of his head. "Ow." He said, rubbing the spot.
Take 2
"Hey, let's say we try my new- ow!"
Take 3
"Hey, let's say we try my new ride. The Slingshot of-" The cane went flying out of his hands and into the ceiling.
Take 25
"Hey, let's say we try my new ride." Mr. Mumbles said happily. "The Slingshot of Silliness." He pressed a button on the wall, and a giant rubber band came down around the crow and the bat.
"Oh, I will have to pass on thaaaaaaaa-" Scaredy yelled, being shot from the device. They hit the wall with a loud thunk!
"Take ten." The director said quietly. "We'll try again later."
