Ruby Gloom
City of Panic
"And how do you propose to this serious charge?"the judge asked.
"By offering this recording as evidence!"Guy De Maupassant answered,whipping out a recorder.
He pressed 'Play' and the first few words they heard were"From what I know,he's rude,sloppy,idiotic..."
"There!Proof!"he said,crossing his arms.
"And how do you respond to these allegations,Peter the Boy?"the judge asked as the jury began to talk.
"Actually,I do not have a lawyer!..."Peter replied in an awkward tone.
"In that case,Peter is innocent!"the judge declared,hitting the stand with his gavel.
"Sir...you WHAT?"everybody said at the same time.
"If...!he said as everybody groaned in frustration.
"We'll get whatever you release him!"Skull Boy said.
Despite being a few thousand years apart,Peter and him were close friends.
"That cute little red-haired girl becomes my son's best friend...!"he requested,pointing at Ruby.
"Why not?It is nice to make new friends!"Ruby said as if it was no big deal.
"And kisses him after a date!"
Ruby had the grace to blush.
Jealousy's jaw dropped.
Iris,who was roller-skating around the court actually stopped.
Peter and Frank and Len's eyes goggled.
Misery was shocked,her eyes widening in evesteep piped back before lightning could strike her.
Normally,she loves lightning.
But Skull Boy took it the worst.
He was tingling with an emotion Jealousy usually has which was...well,jealousy.
He clenched his fists in anger and his face was crimson red,thinking he might actually be changing into a bear with a sore head.
"You cannot do that!"he growled menacingly at the judge,"That is completely against the law!".
"Read the rules!"the judge said as he smiled vindictively and laughed in his high-pitched voive before coughing to clear his throat.
