"What do you mean, Red? You're not making any sense." Bridget blinks at her, shocked. "I know it's hard to believe but trust me. We have to go if we're gonna save Ella and Chloe!" Red grabs her hand and drags her away. "Wait, wait! Ella ends up with Charming?" She asks. Red nods silently. "Then, is your father-"

Ruby sneezes as she turns away. "Sorry, sorry." "Bless you." Mel tells her from behind the camera. "Thank you." She laughs. Of course her wife would be the only one saying bless you. They smile at each other for a second. "Alright, everyone let's grab lunch anyways and then come back, ok?" Everyone breaks for lunch as Kylie grabs her phone from Mel before heading over to crafties. "Hey you." "Hey." She hugs Mel tight. "God, i wish i could kiss you." She pouts. "Make up, baby." "I know. Come on, let's go eat." Ruby grabs her hand and drags her out of the chair.

"So, you finish this scene with Ky, and then you have another one with Morgan and then your scene with Felix." Mel glances at her. Ruby sighs. "Is it the....?" "No, it's not the kissing scene. Don't worry." Mel reads her mind as she smiles. "Baby, don't stress too much. I don't mind it, i really don't. We're actors. It's our job. And Felix is a good guy." Ruby looks at her. "Really? Miss. I'm not jealous, I'm possessive?" Mel smiles. "This is different. This is work. And while i am possessive, don't get me wrong, even i understand, we have to keep things professional." Ruby smiles and kisses her cheek. "What do you say tonight, we rehearse our own little kissing scene?" She bites her lip. "Oh just kissing? Is that it?" Mel smirks. "Maybe a little more...."

Mel smiles and kisses the top of her head. "Deal, but you gotta finish these scenes first." Ruby nods. "I know. I just keep dreading that kissing scene." "Why? It's not like you're filming it today." Ruby sighs. "I know, I'm just nervous. Which is weird, I'm not normally nervous about kissing scenes." Mel lightly plays with her hair. "Then what's wrong?" "I guess those damn tabloids. Saying it's just another Sky situation. It kind of threw me off." Mel sighs. "It's ok. I understand. Some things are hard to get over, and it doesn't help that people keep bringing it up." Ruby leans against her. "Can we just leave early?" Mel laughs. "Trust me, i wish we could."

Bridget hums as she skips down the hall. "Oh my! I'm so sorry!" She accidentally bumps into someone as her cookies fall. They nearly touch the floor when they suddenly freeze and magically appear back on her tray. "Oh thank you!" She smiles before looking up. "You're welcome." He smiles at her. She smiles back as they lock eyes. "Um, I'm Bridget!" "I know, I'm Roman.... I'm your fiancé...." Bridget's eyes widen. "Oh...."

"Cut! That was perfect guys! Let's take ten and run it again!" Ruby breathes a sigh of relief. "Hey, you were good! I don't know how you do that....bubbly thing...." Ruby laughs. "Thanks, you weren't so bad yourself." Felix shrugs. "I mean, I'm alright." They both laugh. They carry on with their filming until it was time to go home. "Hey, i saw that we have a scene together later on in the movie, would you mind if i came over so we could rehearse it together?" He smiles. "Uh, sure. I mean, I'll have to ask Mel." Ruby rubs her arm. He nods. "Of course, yeah." "Ask me what?" Mel wraps her arm around Ruby's waist. "Oh, uh i was hoping i could come over tonight to rehearse some more?" Mel nods. "Yeah, i don't see why not." Ruby smiles as she kisses her cheek. "Thanks baby." "Of course." "Ugh, just please don't make me a third wheel." Felix begs. "We'll see." Mel smirks. Ruby rolls her eyes as she grabs her hand. "Anyways, tonight at 7? I'll text you the address?" Ruby asks. Felix nods and hands her his phone. "Sure, just uh put your number in my phone. Or actually, Mel do you still have my number?" "Yeah, i think so. If you want, i can text it to you?" He nods. "Please." Ruby watches as her wife texts him their address. "Ok, see you guys tonight." He nods. "See you then!" They head toward their car as Ruby stares out the window. Today was good, it wasn't awkward. Mel seems fine, Felix is great, so then why did she have this weird feeling? Like something's about to happen?
