The crowd was cheering. They were cheering for me! Finally, the appreciation I deserve, an adoring audience. If this is a dream, I don't want to wake up! Wait… what am I suppose to be doing?

"Now I am pleased to announce Ruby!" I heard Blue call out.

Silver, who was also standing on stage, along with Platinum, motioned me to come over. He probably saw the confused look on my face… Wait, why am I walking towards them! I have to check if there are no flaws in my outfit!

"Take a seat here," Platinum advised me.

I nodded in response. "Hi everyone!" I waved to the camera and you wouldn't believe who the camera guy was, it's Wally, boy it's been a while since I've seen him.

My two seniors, and Platinum, took a seat alongside me. Blue then spoke, "Now Ruby I know it may be weird for you today, but as an agreement you let us run things for today!"

Silver nodded. "After a short break, we will be asking Ruby a series of questions."

"The questions are ones that fans personally submitted within the last week. I would also like to remind everyone that Ruby will be answering truthfully," Platinum added.

"Yes, it's part of his contract!" Blue giggled.

Oh no, that can't be a good sign. I wonder what type of questions my so-called fans want me to answer. Furthermore, I can't lie to them! Or can I? I shook my head, no better not.

The camera shifted to Silver. "We'll be back after these messages."

Once the break was on, I decided to adjust my hat, wouldn't want it out of place in a live show…

Platinum looked at me. "It was a rather splendid idea you had of inviting us to interview you in your talk show."

"Yes, I can feel the rates increasing by the second!" Blue happily added.

Silver nodded. "You looked lost though, did you forget?"

I laughed nervously. I couldn't allow myself to say yes, I did, even though it is the truth. Well I know now, and that's what counts.

"Guys! We're coming back on!" Wally shouted.

"Thanks for the wait!" Blue smiled. "Are you ready for the first question?"

"Yes." I meant to say no, but I can't let the crowd or my adoring fans down.

"Okay, is it true that you wear glasses?" She asked.

I sighed with relief, what an easy question. "Yes, I'm nearsighted, although I have to admit that I hate wearing those things, they clash with my outfit!"

I could tell Silver was trying to hold in his laugh. He instead coughed as an excuse. "Next question. What are some of your hobbies?"

"My hobbies include sewing, knitting, and photography."

"Wow, what interesting hobbies, don't you think Platinum?" Blue asked.

Platinum nodded. "Indeed, if I am ever in need of an outfit or a picture, I shall contact you. Now next question, are you prepared?"

"Yes," I replied.

"People would like to know if what is on your head is a hat and if so, why you wear it constantly."

Just great. "I-it's a hat. My real hair color is black."

Blue then spoke, probably reacting to the impatience coming from the audience because I haven't answered the other part of the question. "And you wear it because?"

I sighed in defeat. "I wear it to hide a hideous scar I have."

"That's a very reasonable reason to wear a hat, also hats are the best!" Blue pointed at hers.

"Yes, my head stays warm," Platinum added.

"All we need is for Silver to wear one, right Silver?" Blue asked. "Oh, I know! How about I buy you one?"

"…Maybe later," His face looked kind of red. "Shouldn't you read the next question?"

"Ah yes! Okay Ruby, this one's an interesting one!" Blue squealed with delight. "The question is if you have romantic feelings for your fellow dex-holder, Sapphire!"

"There's no way I'll answer that!" I blurted out.

"Eh, but you have to!" Blue fought back.

Then a huge fight among us began. Silver tried to calm Blue down as Platinum tried to stop Silver and talk some sense into me. The crowd was no help either, they were getting loud and rowdy, not a very nice crowd anymore. I also hear some people complaining that I wasn't doing a very good job. How mean, after I answered as truthfully as I possibly could? But you know what the worst part is? They're throwing food and refreshments at me! My outfit has become soaked and ruined! If this is a dream, I hope I wake up!


Luckily, I awoke right then and there. I looked in the mirror, just to make sure that it all really was a terrible, terrible dream. I'm so glad I didn't have to answer that stupid question about whether or not I liked Sapphire.

"That barbarian not only ruins my clothes, but my dreams now too!"
