In spite of Ruby's protests Eddy had pushed the girls all the way to the playground of the Cul-de-Sac, where a small crowd of kids stood there at the entrance. "Yeah yeah yeah, I know, Riding Hood, whatever, now come on!" "Uh, what? People don't breathe through their feet, Ed…" "Don't your feet need to breath, Ruby?" Ed ran in front of the girls in that strange, airy gait of his.


"B-But I don't wanna get my socks knocked off! I like my feet warm and fuzzy!"

"You guys are gonna get your socks knocked off when you see this!" "Cool, now let's get going you two!" Eddy ran around behind them and began pushing them together down the sidewalk. "But don't worry, for I am filling in for Double-D for today!"īlake frowned, both unsure of Ed's hand and anxious about her stepbrother's anxious. "Double-D is studying with Pyrrha right now, Blake!" Ed said before patting her head. "Have you seen Double-D anywhere? I-I can't find him." Ruby saw her descending the stairs and approaching them, looking as quiet as ever. Thankfully, Blake came in just at the right moment. Wanna come with?"Ĭool? What kinda cool was Eddy talking about? And did he say there were others coming with him? "Anyway Red, I got something cool to show you and the others. "Who cares, same thing, right?" He gestured for her to come with him. "Oh don't worry about Double-D, he's just studying with Pyramid." "Ed? Eddy?" Ruby noticed the lacking of one of their friends. She realized they were Ed and Eddy, her new 'friends,' or so they had claimed. Last she checked, her Expression and Courage levels were both currently Sucked.Īs she continued to consider her options, two people popped up right in front of her and Ruby found herself stopped in her tracks. Or maybe instead of playing Mask 4, after her homework of course, she should try leveling up her real-life social stats so she doesn't have to be that awkward, shy kid who's actually a genius. Thankfully, the homework load wasn't too big. Of course, she'll have to do her homework before then. She can finally now return home, get on her GS3 or maybe Vitae, maybe play some Mask 4: Emerald and finish off the final, tough-as-nails dungeon. Ruby went down the steps of Peach Creek, sighing with the utmost relief that her first day of school had went by without any trouble whatsoever.
