    A few years ago in the town of Gloomsville, Poe, his two older brothers Edgar and Allan, and a little Ruby tag along with them for shopping around. It was a gloomy day; the sky is fill with clouds like no other town has. Although the citizens didn't mind at all, it's just their way. 
    At the souvenir shop, Ruby found a little stuff animal that she really wanted. Ruby nudge Poe. "Find anything interesting my dear Ruby?" Poe said. "Yes, there's an animal that I wanted." Ruby's speech and words was better than before. When Ruby first move into the mansion with Poe and his brothers, Poe first got out some books on how to learn English and teach them to Ruby. After a few months of learning, she finally talk well. Ruby pointed at the stuff animal on the shelves. "Ah, I see you wanted that."  Ruby nodded. Poe happily buys her the stuff animal and gave it to her as she hugs it happily. After they were in the shop, they left and continue on. 
    They enter an area where it's only half empty. The area seems like it's trying to open a new shop later on in the days. As Ruby walks along with Poe, she turn to her right and see an empty alleyway, there is a person sitting near the wall. She look closer and it appears to be a little girl like Ruby; wearing a dirty brown t-shirt and a black pants. "Poe, there's a girl sitting over there." Poe look over the alleyway. "Oh dear, we must help her." They went straight to the little girl. As they approach her, the girl look up. "Excuse me, but appears to me you look like you lost your parents." "Y-yes, I was left alone for couple of days." She started to cry. Ruby look up to Poe, hoping they would help her somehow. "I have no clue where my parents are, I just woke up one day and they're gone." Poe couldn't believe this, a girl was abandon by her parents. Poe thought of an idea. "Would you like to come with us?" The girl was concern. "You really think so?" "Yes." The girl thought for a second and nodded. "Come with us and we'll take care of you." She stood up and walk along with them. "What's your name by the way?" Poe ask. "Iris." "Well Iris, I'm Poe, here's by two brother Edgar and Allan. And here's Ruby." Ruby smile at Iris. "Nice to meet you." Ruby said. "You too." Iris smile. 

    Back at their mansion, they first clean up Iris and get her some clothes to wear. After Iris is cleaned and fed, Iris felt pretty happy afterwards. "And done! How about you two play along while we have some work to do." Poe said. "They both nodded. "And if there's anything you needed, just let us know and we'll be there."Ok." Iris said. Poe left the living room with a smile on his face. "So Iris what do you want to do?" Iris couldn't think of an idea. "Up to you." Ruby smile happily and they both happily play together. It was the beginning of their true friendship.
