What would they give him [Ruby] for his birthday?
Pretty much everyone: Fabric and berries. 'Cause they wouldn't want Ruby complaining about what kind of clothes they got him, so it'd be better for him to make his own outfits. And he'd want to make his own Pokeblocks or Poffins.
Sapphire: A twig heart, which Ruby would probably end up throwing away since it'd be that stupid of a gift... *shot by the ever-so-passionate Frantic fans*
Hmm... Speaking of which, I've got an idea for his one-shot, but I want to hear at least one remark on it before starting...
I was thinking of basing it pre-meeting Sapphire for the first time (back when Norman first tried out to be a gym leader in Hoenn), when Ruby was a battle loving tyke. I just think it'd be fun to try and do something that was never shown in the manga. Well, it was shown that he was a battle loving kid and he met Sapphire and all, but it never showed what happened with him before that encounter~
