Ruby pov

Soon me and red were all packed up and loaded into our mom's tricked out jeep

"So, how do we get into the rabbit hole? It’s been locked for decades." I asked as we drove towards the rabbit hole which was an entrance to auradon

" Mom what are you doing" red asked as we got closer with no signs of stopping

"Oh, you have so much to learn." Mom said as we drove through the rabbit hole that was reopened by the invitation causing our mom to laugh

"Finally" she said as she glanced at me and red and groaned "Oh, girls,I thought I told you to put on something respectable."

Red and I looked down at our outfits—red leather jackets, black pants, and combat boots, a far cry from the frilly dresses she favored. But we didn’t have time to respond. Our mother's attention had already shifted to the path ahead.

All I wanted was for my mother to love me for who i was and not trying to change me into another version of her

Here’s how the duet could be structured between the Queen of Hearts and Ruby, reflecting their different perspectives and emotions.

---

[Ruby:]
*I'm just a girl, arms open wide* 
*Looking for kindness* 
*Somewhere in your eyes* 
*I'm looking for something I may never find* 
*All I want is love* 

(Queen of Hearts)
*What you want doesn't exist* 
*Love ain't it*

(Ruby)
*You say, "Love ain't it"* 
*It makes me weak* 
*But how'd I know if I ain't felt it yet?*   
*You say, "Love ain't it"* 
*And I wish I could compete* 
*With all the grief that you've experienced* 

(Queen of Hearts)
Love ain't it
And nothing's as sweet
As when you defeat all your enemies 
I say, "Love ain't it" 
And fear is more important if we're gonna rule for centuries, oh-oh 

(People of auradon)
Could it really be her?
They're saying there's no one worse
No one's as mean
Mean as the queen, mean as the queen
She's been gone for years
But now she's appeared, so hide under your beds 
Under your beds

(Queen of hearts)
alright, here we go 

(People of auradon)
Be careful of what you do
Be careful of what you say (that's right)
Or it'll be off with your head* 
Off with your head 
Be careful where you go, don't make her upset
Or else, it'll be off with your head

Queen of hearts: Bags, please.

Guards: Yes, Your Majesty.

Woman: name please

Queen of hearts: You know who we are.

Aurora: Bridget? I didn’t expect to see you here.

Queen of hearts: Aurora. It's your royal highness now.

Aurora: Of course. You must be very proud.

Briar Rose: um hi I'm briar Rose. You must be princess Ruby and red of Wonderland I’ve always wondered what it’s like over there.

Red: You should come sometime. I’ll introduce you to the Jabberwocky.

Blair rose: Fun! What’s a Jabberwocky?

Ruby: A monster that eats annoying girls.

Aurora:It’s okay, baby.

(Ruby):
So, you knew her?
 
(Queen of hearts)
I saw through her, Aurora and I were classmates 
I spend way too much time in this place
So I had to escape
The people here might smile
But they're two-faced and too fake

(Ruby)
Wait, you went to Auradon Prep?

[Queen of Hearts (nonchalant):] 
*Nope, wasn't even called that yet* 

**[Blair rose (confused):]** 
*Wow, those girls were super rude* 
*What's their problem? What's their deal?* 

**[Aurora:]** 
*Some people act mean at first* 
*'Cause they're too afraid to feel* 
*It's survival, it's protection* 
*That's why roses grow their thorns* 

[Blair rose]
Come on, whose side are you on?
The only one worse than them is their mom* 

[Aurora)
*Look, hon, back in high school* 
*A mean prank was played* 
*And ever since that fateful day* 
*She was never quite the same, it's a shame* 

**[Blair rose (softly):]** 
*What happened? Is it okay to ask?* 

**[Aurora (brushing it off):]** 
*We came to celebrate the future, sweetie* 
*Not dwell on the past*

(Queen of hearts)
*(Haha) Stand aside, the queen's arrived!* 
*Look at them, so innocent* 
*Can't believe they let us in* 
*Watch 'em pay the consequence for being so dang insolent*  
*Can't you smell their cowardice?* 
*Soak it up, devour it* 
*Treats are for the weak* 
*Let me show you what real power is* 

*Quick, Ruby, you gotta follow along* 
*One day, you'll be on the throne* 
*Automatic, just how I planned it* 

**[Ruby (questioning):]** 
*What about what I want?* 

**[Queen of Hearts (assertive):]** 
*They're gon' fall like parachutes* 
*They're gon' crawl to me on all fours* 

**[Ruby (pleading):]** 
*What did they ever do to you?* 

**[Queen of Hearts (stern):]** 
*Ruby, what are you arguing for?* 
*I don't speak politician, I'm a queen* 
*Your submission's what I need* 
*On your knees, kneel to me* 
 
*Royalty, you should listen, or you'll wind up in a prison* 
*You'll be living in a dungeon underground* 
 
*Love ain't it (love)* 
*Let me show you what (ain't) real true power is (it)* 
*It's when I say you only live if I let you live* 
*And you should take what I give when I'm givin' it* 
*And what I'm givin', love ain't it* 

**[Ruby (doubtful):]** 
*Love ain't it (love), love ain't it (ain't)* 
*Love ain't it, na-na-na* 

**[Queen of Hearts (commanding):]** 
*Love ain't it (love), love ain't it (ain't)* 
*Love ain't it, oh, na-na (love ain't it)*   
*Look into the mirror, it's our destiny* 
*Rule a million years with you right next to me* 

**[Queen of Hearts (ruthless):]** 
*Swimmin' in their tears, won't they taste so sweet?* 
*There's a new dawn in Auradon* 
*I'm gonna take the crown and then put it on* 
*I'm gonna take the crown and do what I want* 
*You're gonna make me proud when you take that throne* 

*Love ain't it (love)* 
*Let me show you what (ain't) real true power is (it)* 
*It's when I say you only live if I let you live* 
*And you should take what I give when I'm givin' it* 
*And what I'm givin', love ain't it* 

[Ruby (resigned):]
Love ain't it (love), love ain't it (ain't)
Love ain't it, na-na-na

[Queen of Hearts:]
Love ain't it (love), love ain't it (ain't)
Love ain't it, oh, na-na (love ain't it)* 

[Ruby (softly, reflective):]
Love ain't, mm*

Queen of hearts: Love ain't it*
