Mmk, I'm done XD R&R!!!

Ruby was writing in her journal about her day. It had been a long, exhausting day and Ruby was cozy in her chair, sitting by the crackling fire with her kitty, Doom, sitting straight across from her. She loved her little Doom kitty and her would yawn and stretch every now and then, almost as if he was trying to make her giggle during every five minutes. It was now night-time and everyone was asleep, as far as she knew, and was thinking about the beginning of her day.

Dear Journal,

Hi again, it's Ruby. Of course, you should have already known this, but if someone's been reading in here, please, go away. Anyway, my day started off quite weird. I woke up much later than everyone. Normally, I'm the first one up. Weird, huh? Later after breakfast, Doom did a little-business on my bed. She behaves so well! I wonder what could have made her do something like that. But to top it off, at the end of my day, Iris actually convinced me into bungee –jumping with her! I hurled, no seriously, hurled as in barf. Chunks flew everywhere! Well, I guess it's just one of those days, huh? Well, I'll write again tomorrow. Good night…

Love, Ruby Gloom XOXO

Ruby closed her journal and let out a big sigh. She laid back in her chair as Doom jumped into her lap and began to purr. This made Ruby giggle and she began to pet her little Doom kitty. The clock's bell rang and Ruby had noticed it was now eleven 'o clock. She didn't feel like moving from her perfect spot. She smiled and pulled out a book.

Ruby looked up at the clock after finishing a few chapters and saw it was five 'til twelve. She closed the book and laid back against her chair. She tried to relax and make herself think of a bright side to her day.

"Aren't you tired?" A voice came from behind her.

Ruby's heart skipped a beat as she turned her terrified body toward the boy behind her. It was none other than Skull Boy. He smiled at her and she smiled back and gave out a relieved sigh.

"Crap, did I scare you?" Skull Boy asked.

"Yeah, just a little. I'm okay, though." Ruby gave a reassuring smile.

He asked if he could sit with her and she said yes. Skull Boy smiled again and took the seat across from her. There was silence for a while and the twelve 'o clock bell rang. Skull Boy looked up at the clock and then back at Ruby.

"So, what're you doing down here, anyway?" Skull Boy asked, breaking the silence.

"I was just writing about my day in my journal."

"Really? Can I see?" He asked, reaching for the book.

"How's about no?" Ruby said, playfully slapping away his hand.

"Okay, fine,"

"Sorry, but I hate people reading my journal."

"Oh, its fine, no worries"

"But, I can tell you about my day," Ruby said with a playful smile.

"And I would gladly listen,"

Ruby told him about all the bad day she had. She left out a few things that she put in her journal. Skull Boy listened with full attention and didn't divide it.

"Bummer" Skull Boy said.

"Yeah," Ruby said.

…Silence…

"So…" Skull Boy expected something from her.

"What?" Ruby asked confused.

"Don't you always have a bright side?" Skull Boy asked.

"Uh, I haven't quite figured that out yet." Ruby blushed.

"You haven't?!" Skull Boy was shocked.

"Erm, yeah…Heh, heh," Ruby was embarrassed. "C-Can you help me, Skull Boy?"

Skull Boy smiled at his friend. She always helped him through tough situations. Ruby was his shield from any sadness. She made him feel like he had a family. Almost as if he didn't need one as much as his friends.

"Of course I will, Ruby," Skull Boy told her with a smile.

Ruby felt warm inside. Before she knew it, she was grasping him tightly in an amazingly huge hug. He hugged back and they got to thinking about what it could be.

OH YEA! RUBY GLOOM RULEZ! XD Yea, my fave is SBxRG. I guess you can tell that I can't learn how to type something more "romantic" and just a bit gushy. I'll get to working on it. R&R!!!!!!!!
