Two Medicine was a small town, but it still lit up enough for the streets to be shining in the golden lights. Walking down the sidewalk was Dreda in her human form. She walked while keeping her head low to make sure no Terrarium officials were in the area who would recognize her. Dreda eventually reached Claws Bar, which was a small nightclub with a big sign that glowed with pink light. Though she still felt uncomfortable going in, Dreda made her way inside.

The bar was crowded with people. There were friends who were sitting at circle-shaped tables around the floor. Others were sitting at the bar table, with the table itself glowing from the inside lights. There were even some people dancing over at the dance floor near a DJ booth, that was playing decently loud party music. Most of these people were holding small shot glasses with alcohol inside, making them drunk.

Dreda went to the bar table and sat down on a stool. She signals to the bartender and tells him "one shot, please. Make it a wine." The bartender quickly pours her a shot glass and slides it over to her. She takes out a small bill and pays for the drink before she takes a sip from the glass.

"Ugh, five minutes late. Typical Ruby" she tells herself while keeping her eyes closed. However, she would suddenly feel her shoulder get tapped by someone next to her.

"You've finally arrived," said the sweet voice of Ruby Horn herself. Dreda opened her eyes and turned to her left to see Ruby sitting on the stool right next to her. Of course, her human form was on to help her blend in with the human public.

Her human form made her appear with dark skin and long, spiky maroon hair. She had a brown beauty mark on her left cheek, had thick red lipstick, and wore a headband with two gold earrings attached. Since she didn't have ears in her dinosaur form, she wore the headband to make it look like she was. The left earring showed the marble that is mostly seen in morph bracelets. The headband also sprouted out two horns, making it look like she still has her carnotaurus horns in her human form.

"My darling little deinonychus," she continues

"My darling little deinonychus," she continues.

The two eventually sat at a table together to talk. Ruby was very eager to see Dreda, but Dreda herself was still wary of her presence.

"Funny, you're still doing the thing where you wear that headband with the horns sticking out. It's as if you don't care if anyone gets suspicious of you still trying to find a way to look like a dinosaur in public" Dreda mentions.

"Oh, darling, you think that just because I enjoy exposing my beautiful horns means I want to attract attention to myself? Please" Ruby expresses before taking another sip of her drink. "People nowadays enjoy expressing themselves in any fashion they want. If they choose to dye their hair in rainbow colors, it's not a big deal. Anybody can wear anything and not worry about attracting the unwanted attention that others seek to exterminate, therefore I don't have to worry about being caught by officials who see me exposing my horns. Besides, as a high-class agent, I can expose anything I want without looking suspicious."
