Off to the next adventure for Ruby, and this play was just the kind of thing that interested her… [b]dramatics[/b]. She heard about it during a moment of eavesdropping on someone at the race track earlier. Sure, it was a last minute decision, but she arrived with a whole minute to spare. The hat contest that followed the race still had her in a tizzy, so much so that she unthinkingly walked into the theater with her giant hat still on.  

As she made her way in, Ruby gazed longingly at the red carpet underneath her feet. This was the life that she always dreamed of. Extravagance. She found her way to the end of the hall and made a left toward the theater. If she could never live a life like this, she would embrace it at least for tonight.

There were a fair amount of people in the audience, but still many open seats. Ruby’s excitement grew and she wanted to get the closest look at what was to come. She went directly for the front row seats, but caught a few grimacing looks and decided to head back a few rows. She was used to viewing things from a distance. 

The spontaneity of her arrival meant that she had no idea what the play she was about to view was about. In her mind, she anticipated something heartwarming, or maybe romantic. She looked around the audience in an effort to pick up on an overall mood, to which she did not fully sense. There were a few familiar faces in the crowd, though.. [color=C17ECE][i] Is that the man that publicly put my artwork to shame? [/i][/color] thought Ruby, referring to the Duke that picked someone else for the hat contest. 

[color=C17ECE]“HEY!!!!”[/color] she whisper-shouted with hostility toward him while she pointed a finger. It seems that he did not hear her– although she did catch the attention of a few people nearby. Then, the curtains abruptly opened and she fixed her eyes on the stage. Ruby’s anger subsided for now.

The backdrop did not disappoint. Ruby’s mouth fell open as she doted upon the sights in front of her. As the play proceeded, Ruby realized that this was surely not a passionate love story. She chuckled a few times as she became enthralled by the storyline. It was one line in particular that sent Ruby into an unforeseen fit of laughter, just after books fell from the actress’s dress.

Act I finished and Ruby got a good laugh. As she waited on Act II and a break was commenced, something urged her to approach Lorenzo in the front row. She strolled up to him with her large hat weighing on her tiny body. 

After approaching, Ruby put her hands on her hips and glared down at him with the force of a thousand suns. A bit of drool fell from her mouth onto Lorenzo’s left shoe as she decided to speak.[color=C17ECE]“I know you remember me.”[/color] Ruby told him and flared her eyes open, [color=C17ECE]“Look at my hat, [i]waffle boy.[/i] …How could this not win? Just look at it!”[/color] She wiggled it a little and it almost fell off, but she managed a little swagger for once.

[color=C17ECE]“I don't understand how you could make such a mistake,”[/color] declared Ruby. [color=C17ECE]“I worked day and night to find scraps beautiful enough, from my own trash, to fulfill this very masterpiece.”[/color] she frowned, exuding disappointment from her voice. [color=C17ECE]“I mean, I am sure you are a man of good judgment and all, but this time there must have been some specks of dirt in your eyes. That horse hat? A complete cliche!”[/color] Ruby finally expelled the last bit of her frustration. She stepped back a bit as she anticipated a response from this brooding fellow.
