" 'Child...….You're like a Star.....
You're like a mor…ning….star….....High….' "
"Hey, that's my song I sang to you. How'd you…"
" 'High on the wind. You're not a…"
"You're singing again?"
"I….."
"Ruby….Ruby….Ruby...You're back."
"Friends of yours?"
"Who is she?"
"Is she a….."
*Pinch*
"Ouch?
What was that for? I'm gonna…"
*Pinch*
"Ouch. Now what was that for?"
"I had to make sure you were real."
"Real? Ruby, what's…"
"And I had to make sure you were real too."
"Do you introduce all your family members this way?"
"Family?"
"Members?"
"Gang, I'd like to introduce you to my mother. She...where's Jordan?"
"He got caught."
"So this is the woman who has inspired the most talented?"
"Well, I wouldn't say that, but…."
"Psst."
"She has helped me a lot."
"Psst."
"I….I am going to be right back. Have to use the bathroom.
You all get to know each other more.
Thanks again for doing this."
"For doing what?"
*Hehhhhh…hehhhh….hehhhhh…hehhhhh….
*Crash*
"Ooof."
"Ooof."
*Ow, my head."
"Jacklyn, what are you doing here? Why aren't you…."
"I came looking for you."
"You couldn't wait?"
"Not from what I found out. Quick, in here."
What uhhh...did you find?"
"A problem."
"A.....I…..I thought you fixed that? You said the Queen of…."
"Yeah, she helped me. But that's not the problem I came across. And I think you know what it is."
"I…."
"Stop hiding, Ruby.
After you left, I did a bit of research on Upfront. Then when I came back today; I tried to sleep. I really…really…did, but something was bugging me. So I went back to confirm my suspicions. Connected the dots…..and...."
"And?"
"You and I both know. You have to tell them. If what I am saying is true, you will smile. Why do I know? You may control the tongue but not the emotions."
"I...…..…"
"I knew it. You have to tell them, because if you don't…..then I will."
"No. You can't."
"Let go of me. You're lying to them and they need.."
"What they need is to continue to bond together. Who cares who created and who made them live? Who cares what my fantasies are vs others realities? Please. I am so so so so close, I can feel it Jacklyn.
I am 'this close' to righting my wrongs and making everything anew."
"But it's based on nothing but.....You do know that when Xyone comes back, he'll come to collect not just you but everything else you helped create."
"Jacklyn, I am not the badgirl here. I came to create; and that's what I did. Now I lead."
