Here's another one-shot, set during the episode when Frank and Len are trying to get in the heads of everyone who they're writing about. Anyways I don't own any of the characters from Ruby Gloom, I own most of the plot (except the beginning which was in the show) also I don't own the song 'Ruby' by The Kaiser Chiefs. R&R

What Frank and Len Saw (Let it never be said, The Romance is dead)
"R-Ruby there's something I've gotta ask you" Skullboy said in his gentle voice
"Yes Skullboy?" Ruby asked, her eyes sparkling, her face red, her voice high with hope
"Do-Could you turn the pages of my music book for me?" he finally questioned
The hope left Ruby's eyes but she smiled all the same "Of course"
"Hey, I think you've got something in your eye" Skullboy leaned forward and stared deep into the red headed girl's eyes, he could have sworn he'd saw something in them, and that's when Frank and Len exited Ruby's head. Skullboy sighed "Humph" his one hand was still holding her face tenderly, he took one finger and touched the delicate skin around her right eye, Ruby's face turned two shades darker and she smiled tightly "Guess it was nothing" Realizing the close proximity he and Ruby were at he too blushed. "S-so you wanna" he gulped "turn those pages for me"
"Sure" Ruby stood; they were still only inches apart. Avoiding each other's eyes they sat on two chairs and Skullboy picked up his acoustic guitar "So what song are you learning?" Ruby asked
Skullboy's cheeks pinkened and he nodded to the book "See for yourself"
She gingerly picked it up and seen across the top: Ruby-The Kaiser Chiefs, a smile lifted her lips. "C-an you play it?"
Skullboy nodded, he plucked the strings of his guitar to make sure it was in tune, then began strumming.
"Let it never be said
The Romance is dead
Cause there's so little else
Occupying my head
The there is nothing I need
Except the function to breathe
But I'm not really fussed
Doesn't matter to me
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya
Know why ya do it, do it, to me
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Due to lack of interest
Tomorrow is canceled
Let the clocks be reset
And the pendulums held
Cause there's nothing at all
Except the space in-between
Finding out what you're called
And repeating your name
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya
Know why ya do it, do it, to me
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Could it be, could it be
That you're joking with me
And you don't really see you and me
Could it be, could it be
That you're joking with me
And you don't really see you and me
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya
Know why ya do it, do it, to me
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya
Know why ya do it, do it, to me
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby"
"How was it?" Skullboy asked, his face now completely red
Ruby squealed and twined her arms around her friend's neck "I loved it" she kissed Skullboy's cheek messily, sprawling red lipstick all over his face and laughed giddily
"Good" Skullboy grinned; he took Ruby's hands in his, the two stood, forehead to forehead. "Let it never be said the Romance is dead" he murmured, spinning Ruby, she smirked and they began dancing across the room; twirling, dipping, sashaying. They swayed slowly back and forth, lost in each other's eyes. (Yes I am so effing cheesy 3) Ruby leaned up and their lips crashed together, moving in sync.
Frank smiled triumphantly at Len "I told you she liked him, hehe give me my money"
"Yeah, yeah" Len grudgingly tossed his brother a coin and they walked away, leaving Ruby and Skullboy in privacy
