Ok, all of you are probably wondering where I have been, no? Well, let's just say Berlin and it rocks! Except for the fact internet connection sucked and a thief stole my eekPad with all of my notes!
So, where was I with this fanfic..?(tapping gorgeous chin with equally gorgeous fingers, trying to remember)
Right, Ruby's diary entry stopped there for a while because she was kidnapped. I was the first to find that out because I finally decided to go to Gloomsville on the circus tour and surprise Ruby. I expected a party really, so imagine my surprise when I got a horrible ransom note.
Really horrible considering I couldn't read it at first:
GivE ME 5oooooooooooooo0000000000899849 buckets! I mean BuCks. Or ElSa MayoRuby gets IT. NoT the buckets, the shiny thingy! And don't call the police, I am PaRt of them psjnyfd
Yup, I remained totally cool. Though I could have used those buckets for my sweat. I would have called the police but it would have informed an insider of our actions. Only one thing to do... call for backup! Namely RIP who was conveniently performing at the Gloomsville Plaza.
The place was buzzing with animated chatter and boisterous cheers. The young crowd's exuberance was great thanks to me cheering even though I snuck in without tickets. The suspense in the air was adding on to the prickly humidity of the venue and patches of perspiration were already making their way to my favorite shirt (McCheese! Oh, I hate cheese)
The walls were adorned with embellishments to add an edge of electrifying ruggedness. The stage was poised for a sensational concert with all the … how ya spell it? Psy-delight? Psychedelic? Basically the psy-thingy LED screens and shimmery silver curtains were perfect. An intricate scarlet red and silver drum sparkled under the spotlight, placed on a raised velvet platform right in the middle of the mahogany stage.
The audience erupted in a zesty uproar of screams and applause as the curtain rose, illuminating the silhouette of a terrifying, ginormous bat. Or so we thought.
IT WAS SCAREDY!
Black blazer, their signature tee shirt, and ripped jeans.
FRANK AND LEN!
Len tapped his feat to the beat of the bass drum while Frank clutched the microphone. They both waved to fervent crowd so it wasn't a surprise that they missed me waving several neon lights, pasting my face on the big visualizer, shooting myself out of a canon with a sign reading 'YO ARE YA BLIND RIP? IRIS HERE!'.
Not a a surprise at all. They zipped through an introductory solo riff with seemingly little effort. I could feel the reverberations of Scaredy's drums through my bones that only Skulls could stop them from shaking with excitement… but still I was a woman on a mission and I had to stay focused. After dancing like a maniac to their cool melodies!
What? I couldn't help it… especially when MISERY came!
Verse 1:
Oooohhh
I'm the one you find dancing during a rumbling earthquake.
Count on me to start singing while drowning in a lake.
You'll scream my name to stop that tornado outside.
Make way for this changing tide!
Chorus:
Yeah, I'm the one who gets that drum pumping a beat through this foggy mist!
Look at me, Ms Boot-Licker's strumming this blaring guitar rift!
Hear me out, no more goody-two-shoes,
I always had left feet but what the heck?
No more hiding, no more missing!
No more falling, no more bawling!
I wanna be the one who gets to scream and shout!
Gotta fly, gotta run!
Wanna hide, wanna find!
Never going back,
Running away from that shooting star called home
I shine brightest in the dark alone
No, it's not because I'm radioactive
No, I don't care what you wanna say
I'm the one who wins at the end of this gloomy day!
Verse 2:
Don't feel lonely, sweet acid rain,
Misery loves company in this world of pain!
What happened to my slow drawl?
All you can hear is the wind and it howls!
Streaks of lightning, the party never ends
I'm the one who's dead but gives it life!
No longer does reality cut like a knife!
Boom, Boom, Ratatat! My voice is louder than that thunderclap!
Crash, bang, whap, awack. I'm the one who tripped over the stairs again!
Crack, woah, oof, ugh! I made the speakers die!
Sick and tired of being tired and sick…!
But what the heck… just come and join me in this rant…!
Chorus:
Yeah, I'm the one who gets that drum pumping a beat through this foggy mist!
Look at me, Ms Boot-Licker's strumming this blaring guitar rift!
Hear me out, no more goody-two-shoes,
I always had left feet but what the heck?
No more hiding, no more missing!
No more falling, no more bawling!
I wanna be the one who gets to scream and shout!
Gotta fly, gotta run!
Wanna hide, wanna find!
Running away from that shooting star called home
I shine brightest in the dark alone
No, it's not because I'm radioactive
No, I don't care what you wanna say
I'm the one who wins at the end of this gloomy day!
I found each of them chugging down a huge water bottle and tossing it in the recycle bin, dabbing their foreheads with the white rag after. But guess what happened? Yup, a stupid BOUNCER.
"Hey, let us through! I know the guys personally. I used to live with them!"
They all froze at my familiar voice and whipped around toward the entrance but this stupid heavy duty bouncer had me thrown over his shoulders, denying me access.
"Hey, hey, put her down!" Frank ordered, "Iris is okay, Dino, let her in,"
The bouncer, Dino, nodded and dropped me, rather harshly, mind ya, to the floor. After rubbing various bruising body parts and Misery helping me to my bouncy feet, they all hugged me and Misery said, "Iris, what are you doing here? Oh, we've missed you so much!"
I rubbed my eye and combed my fingers through my hair, messed up from the epic fighting with the bouncer.… which I won BTW and started the entire story.
Needless to say, they were all flabbergasted.
After we dismissed Scaredy's RIDONKULOUS of staying behind and watering the plants so they hunt for Ruby's kidnapper, we tried calling Poe who actually became Ruby's secretary but he was also birdnapped! Actually, Ruby wasn't birdnapped considering she's like, the only human here!
That was when Scaredy actually had a better idea which was RIDONKULOUS in a good way... head all the way to Siberia to track Skulls to track Ruby.
Ooo, at that time, I knew that the tension was gonna be high if he found her!
You see I... OMG! Is that a mutant ladybug?!
