A: *sigh* but it never did... everyone just feared her... then one day something changed... i came home from the act she wasn't at and walked into her room-
~~~flashback~~~
I walk in and see her leaning over the bed grabbing onto the sheets... they sound like they're having trouble breathing... why is the room full of light smoke... that's not important right now, I'm sure they were just smoking a cigar-

Ruby grabs me by the throat and pins me to the wall. What's going on?

Smoke pours out of her nose and her teeth start to look a lil sharper
A: r-ruby what's g-going on-
She squeezes tighter and i start to panic
R: NO ONE'S ever going to f-fucking accept me so what's the FUCKING point of trying-
A: r-ruby-

Okay Fred you gotta do something
Jack: you can't just leave
Fred: look SOMEONE has to put out those fires
Barb: what are you gonna do?
Fred: SOMETHING, ANYTHING, and if you guys wanna watch this town burn that's on you
I leave and shut the door behind me there's GOTTA be some fire hydrates near my or something. I run to the main part of the city and then to the fire department. I break in and open the doors..."what starts with F and ends in "UCK?"
Fred: fire truck... perfect
I grab a helmet and get in the truck. Do i have any idea what i'm doing? not at all but we ain't got time to find out
