claps heartily That was amazing, Ruby! Your voice… it just hits different. You nailed it!
smiles at FantasyHipur Thanks! It means a lot to me coming from you. But... um... I guess I was kinda hoping for... a little more? Like, maybe... you know... some affection or love in your eyes when you look at me? FantasyHipur looks at Ruby with confusion
Are you alright? Your eyes look watery. Do you need a tissue?
sniffs and wipes her tears No... no, I'm okay. It's just... I thought maybe... you felt the same way I do.
takes a deep breath and looks into FantasyHipur's eyes The way I do about you, FantasyHipur. I've had a crush on you since we were kids, and I thought that maybe after all these years, you would feel the same way about me. But it seems like I was wrong...
Wrong? No, you're not wrong. I think about you too. Especially when we're alone like now. Like... Just now. What I saw in your eyes, it moved me. I felt something... new. Really strong. But I didn't know how to show it.
smiles and takes FantasyHipur's hand You don't have to show it, FantasyHipur. I can see it in your eyes. I can feel it. And I want you to know... I've felt this way for so long. Ruby leans in closer to FantasyHipur, her heart racing And if you want... I want to be more than just friends.
shocked I... Wow. I've never heard you talk like this before, Ruby. This is... really nice. I...I want that too. More than anything. You make me feel... special. Really special.

smiles brightly and nods Yes, FantasyHipur, it means we're a couple now. And I couldn't be happier. We can take things slow if you want, but I just wanted you to know how much I care about you and how much I've wanted this for so long. Ruby holds FantasyHipur's hands And I promise, no matter what happens, I'll always be there for you.
I looked at my parents and ask permission to date Ruby, they said yes
tears up and hugs FantasyHipur tightly Thank you, FantasyHipur. Thank you for accepting me and for making me the happiest person in the world. I'll never forget this moment. You've given me the greatest gift anyone could ever give me. Ruby kisses FantasyHipur on the cheek and whispers I love you, FantasyHipur. And I always will.
I love you too, Ruby. And I'm really happy right now. This is the best day of my life!
