Ruby's mind was buzzing

Ruby's mind was buzzing... she'd only been dating Hope for a couple weeks yet they'd just had sex. She was too busy thinking about it, that she had momentarily forgotten that they had a literal ball to attend. 

"Ruby." Hope's voice called out, as she approached her girlfriend in the hallway. "Come on, we've gotta go." The Mikealson insisted, though she stopped to admire her girlfriend as she caught up. "You look beautiful."

"So do you." Ruby smiled before she took the tribrid's hand in her own, and they started walking to the event. The pair eventually reached the event, and now stood at the top of the stairs. As they took a step down, moments later Monica and Roman stood behind them, and eventually Jordan and Josie stood behind them also.

Jordan noticed that Josie looked nervous, and commented with a small smile, "You look great." Josie forced a smile back before she sighed. "I need to do something.." She insisted, as Jordan looked at her with a puzzled expression. "I need to fake a fall and take out Monica's closest competitor." She explained, which caused Jordan to frown, "Why?" Josie answered, "To help Monica and Lizzie."

"Miss Hope Mikealson, escorted by Miss Ruby Waithe." Vera announced as the light shone on the girlfriends. The pair entered the stage, as Hope smiled widely. Ruby looked at the Mikealson, with heart eyes.

From the audience, Rafael began chanting his twins name, which the other werewolves picked up on and joined in. Ruby flashed her twin and the other werewolves an amused smile.

"Miss Monica Montgomery, escorted by Mr Roman Sienna." The pair also entered the stage, as Monica was trying to hide how overwhelmed she felt, by smiling brightly. "You look beautiful." Roman spoke quietly, as he saw her smiling. The blonde wordlessly turned to him and smiled, grateful that he was her escort.

"Miss Josette Saltzman, escorted by Mr Jordan Montgomery." The pair began to walk down the stairs, as the light shone on them. Josie smiled, and Jordan noticed just how happy she looked. He felt relieved, assuming that she had changed her mind on falling over. That may have been the case, but when Josie met her twin's eyes, she remembered her plan.

Suddenly Josie tripped, shoving Hope over as she fell. The pair collided and fell onto the ground, as Ruby witnessed this in shock. "Hope, Jo are you both okay?" She asked as she went to offer them both a hand. Jordan rushed over to Josie's side, to help her up, while Ruby helped Hope. Even though Hope had healing blood and felt perfectly fine after a moment, the tribrid and Josie were both disqualified.

Penelope suddenly stomped over, visibly angry. Staring at Josie she snapped, "What are you gonna do when I'm not here to fight for you anymore?" Everybody looked confusedly at the Park, especially Josie. "What's that supposed to mean?" Josie asked genuinely. "You want to know? Read the letter." Penelope hissed in response, before she turned on her feet and left.
