|Personality|
Protective: Whenever someone she cares about or a child is being harmed in any way, she turns into protective mode. This is mainly caused by the wolf that is buried deep inside of her.

Stubborn: When there is something she wants, there is no stopping her. She will do anything to get to whatever she wants.

Sentimental: Ruby keeps a diary to keep a hold of all of her thoughts and experiences. This is her way of being able to look back into the past and relive her experiences and best times of her life.

Outgoing: She tries her best to stay as happy as possible, even if it means going out and doing things she originally wouldn't do in order to have some kind of adventure in her life.

Hot Tempered: In her human state, it takes a lot more to anger her, but once the cap is loose she turns into a completely different person. Someone you didn't think she could ever become.

Loyal: When it comes to her friends and family, she is always by their side. Even in they're in the wrong she will stand by them through everything.

Adventurous: Ruby has been known to venture out into the woods just to have a bit of adventure in her life. Though not only does she feel happy out there, it feels more like home. Honestly, she isn't quite sure if that's a good or a bad thing.

Friendly: Ruby is nice to everyone unless she is given a reason not to be. She doesn't much care for drama.

Optimistic: Ruby has always been the kind of person to see the brighter side of things. Especially when she is in a situation where there seems to be no way out. This just makes things easier on her, even if nothing turns out the way she thought.

|Strengths|
Ruby is able to sense the good and bad in people because of her heightened senses as a wolf. Along with that, she is also able to sense if other wolves are around. Just like any other wolves in nature, she is extremely loyal to her friends and family and of course among anything else she is very protective.

|Weaknesses|
Ruby is scared of herself, scared of what she would do in her wolf form. She finds it very hard to control herself in that state which is why she was so happy that her grandmother gave her her red riding hood. But even though her wolf is hidden inside of her, the personality still comes out. She finds it hard to keep her mouth shut at times, which tends to cause problems, but she learned to live with it.

Image|History|
Ruby Hood was born to the big bad wolf, yes, he does have that same temper. Though as time went on, he began being referred to as the second beast because of his attitude and his murderous rage. She always believed her father could change for the good, which he has been making progress but not as quickly as Ruby would want him to. Any time she isn't around, he tends to break out his rage again.

As for her relationship with her mother, she never knew her and her father never talked about her. The closest she ever came to her mother was her grandmother who has passed away, leaving the cafe to Ruby. Though before her grandmother passed, she had a witch enchant a red hood that she must wear every night or she would transform into the wolf. This is something she keeps to herself. Even though everyone in town knows who her father is, she doesn't want anyone to know that she inherited the wolf gene.

In return for the witch's enchantment on the hood, her grandmother had to give up something in return. She still has no clue what it was, but maybe she will be able to contact the right people who would be able to help her figure out what it was. If it was something horrible, she would feel bad that she went through everything she did just so Ruby wouldn't have to deal with transforming into a wolf again.

While growing up, she was always picked on because of who she became at night and everyone was scared of her. Ruby had no idea how to control her rage and hunger while she is in her wolf form. To say that she had killed someone before would be an understatement. Granted she hadn't killed as many people as her father has, but she has killed a few people.

Ruby has lived in numerous places while growing up because of the growing fear in everyone who finds out her secret. Once her father moved her to Enchantra, she decided it would be best to keep her secret on the down low, show people who she truly is. But thankfully she was able to get the red riding hood before she was able to transform into a wolf in Enchantra. To this day, no one in town has seen her wolf and she plans to keep it that way.

So begins...

Ruby awoke to the sound of her alarm going off at exactly seven in the morning. Today was the first day she were to be on her own. Her father decided it best to leave town, leaving everything he owned to her. She had the home, the vehicles, everything. Ruby sat up with a sigh as she slammed her hand down onto the alarm to silence the screaming before climbing out of bed. She then proceeded to head to the shower, get dressed, and grabbed her keys and headed out to the diner. So far everything was going well. Which was honestly strange, giving the fact that Ruby's luck always seems to bite her in the ass at the end of the day, but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. Things could change throughout the duration of the next twenty four hours.

Upon pulling up to her diner, she parked her vehicle behind the building and unlocked the door to allow herself inside. Ruby hoped that Trixie and Aladdin would show up on time. Though she wasn't going to hold her breath on Aladdin, he always seemed to have his own way of doing things, never really following along to anyone's schedule. With a sigh she began to get everything ready for the morning rush. As if it were some sort of tradition, almost everyone in town always seemed to show up at her diner to have breakfast. Be it a meal or just a cup of coffee. Though she didn't mind it, it gave her a way to get to know everyone in town without making too much of an effort.

Everything seems to be in order, she thought to herself as she turned the open sign over for everyone to know that her diner was now open for business for the duration of the day. Ruby began to head back to the kitchen to start cooking her own breakfast, which consisted of a waffle, two sausage links, and a cup of blueberry coffee. Always was her favorite thing for breakfast, even when she was a kid.

dialogue: #cc66ff || thought: #ff66b3

outfit: x | mood: tired/content | location: apartment, on the way to work




Tink opened her eyes to a silent apartment- just like she did every morning. There were times when she missed the chaos of Neverland. There had been too many mornings to count where she'd been rudely awoken by one of the lost boys breaking something, or by a fight with a pirate, or something ridiculous, yet still familiar. Most of the time, she was glad of the peace. But, there were still times when the apartment was too still, too quiet.

She rolled over and picked up her phone, just as the alarm started to beep. Her body had, thankfully, programmed itself to wake up on time for work, often even before her alarm went off. Still, she thought longingly of those few extra moments of sleep as she got up and headed for the shower.

Having a job was good for her. It kept her in a routine and stopped her from dwelling on her missing wings and her slowly returning magic. It was returning at a frustratingly slow pace, and there were times that she doubted if it was even going to ever return fully. But, when she had to get up and deal with customers all day, she didn't have time to focus on it.

Dressed and with her usual, simple, quick, makeup done, she made herself a cup of berry tea and retrieved a homemade breakfast muffin from a tin. She'd discovered a hobby in baking, and she'd figured out a recipe that made a tasty, convenient breakfast that also had all of the necessary food groups. Her berry tea was just a reminder of home.

She poured the tea into a travel mug and put her phone into her bag, heading out to the diner. As she walked, she ate and drank her tea. Really, she had time to eat at home, but she knew that today was a pretty big day for Ruby, so she wanted to be there early. Aladdin was working as well, but Tink would eat her hat if he was there early, or even on time.

"Ruby?" She called as she let herself in, draining the last of her tea. She found her boss and friend in the kitchen, cooking her own breakfast. "Hey! So, you ready for today?" She asked.

Mallory slammed her spell book shut for the third time today. The passage she had read was no promising. It required way too much patience and more pretending. She didn't think she could fake her happiness for very much longer. Everyone was starting to become hopeful again and accept that their stories are being rewritten. But Mal knows how that works. When a story is rewritten there is a hero and a villain. How much longer before everyone figures out who she is and finally locks her away? What would she do then? Beg for her life? Never! she thought to herself. Every story she has ever been in, she has been the one to make others beg. This story will not be any different. It's taking a lot longer to exact her revenge and become the supreme overlord she was meant to be. A sigh escaped her and she checked the clock.

Mal had been up for hours, editing and mending her plans. She isn't one to sleep during the night. Many have classified her as insomnia, but she knows that is because darkness is her home. A yawn escaped her, but there was no time for sleeping. She needed breakfast and then to open her herb shop. No one really comes into it, so she is free to plot as she likes. Unfortunately, the spell book stays at home. If anyone was to see that it was truly filled with evils it would give her away. Rolling off her bed, she went and placed the book in the safe behind her painting. Cliche, but it works. Once done, she went to the bathroom to shower and get dressed.

When she was done, she stood before the mirror and checked herself out. "Mirror Mirror on the wall..." she started while running her fingers through her hair. "Don't I just look devilish?" A small laugh escaped her. She didn't have a magic mirror, but that is what she would ask it everyday if she did. Turning on her heels, she left her home and headed towards the dinner. That is where everyone hangs out for breakfast. Mallory isn't sure why, but to look friendly she needs to follow the crowd. It wasn't long before she got there. It's just another day. Play nice. Pushing open the front door, it seemed like she was the first one. "Hello?" she called out, in the soft spoken voice she had practiced. "Ruby? I could really use a huge cup of coffee." she added, heading towards the counter.

Belle Rose awoke from sleep with a grunt and rolled over. In spectacular form, she slipped off the side of her mattress and fell face-down onto the carpet. She groaned, rubbing her nose and eyes and sat up, pulling the covers with her. There were a couple thuds as the books she had on her bed fell to the ground. She stared at them a moment and, as the day before came flooding back, she looked down at herself and sighed. She was still wearing the clothes from the day before. She fell asleep reading and didn't get up to change. Somehow the lights were off though..

She pushed herself up from the floor and went to take a quick shower. Her stomach grumbled for some chocolate chip pancakes from Ruby's diner and she smiled at the thought of seeing her friends. Wrapped in a towel, she rummaged through her closet until she pulled out what she felt like wearing for the day. She held the blue dress to her form and looked at her floor length mirror and smiled. It would be perfect.

She finished drying herself off and blow dried her hair, changed, put on light make-up, brushed her teeth, pulled on her shoes, and was out the door in under ten minutes. However, she forgot to grab her phone she nicknamed-- "enchanted mirror" for the mirrored glass protector she had on the screen and the stained glass case that surrounded it--and had to go back inside her apartment to get it.

Finally ready for the day, she started her walk to Ruby's diner. It was only a few storefronts from her own bookstore and apartment so it wasn't too far a walk. The sun was rising above the little town, painting the shops and all the little people in oranges and golds. She bet it was a breathtaking view from one of the larger apartment buildings like Aladdin's. The thought of her friend warmed her and she smiled to herself. She hummed as she walked and soon the diner came into view. She pushed open the front door, a little bell overhead went ding at the movement. She sat at the counter as she did every morning and grabbed a menu, though she already knew what she wanted: chocolate chip pancakes, strawberries, and a rose tea.

A few chairs down was Mallory, calling Ruby for a cup of coffee. "Good Morning, Mal!" She greeted cheerfully, but not overly bubbly. She kept an eye out for Tink as she conversed with Mal.

What woke Peter was a sound he still wasn't used to hearing: silence. Even in the months of silence on Neverland and the month spent here in Enchantra. A hollow aching filled his core at the thought of his lost boys. They had grown up without him. Even Tink. He reached up to his headboard and pulled down a sterling silver chain with two wings hanging off. He saw it back in London and--even though they were angel wings and not sparkling fairy wings--it had reminded him of Tink and he bought them. He ran his finger over the carved feathers and thought of the time Peter and Tink spent at Tiger Lily's camp telling stories and laughing. He gripped the two charms tightly in his fist and tossed the chain over his head. The two charms settled between his collarbone.

He took a deep breath and jumped from bed. Literally leaping from the mattress and landed on his feet with a thud. He grabbed a shirt from his drawer and a pair of brown jeans from his closet and changed. In the bathroom, he ran his fingers through his wild brown hair to tame it, but it was no use. It would always be wild as the boy still locked inside him. His eyes were continuing to fade from their forest green to a tree trunk brown. He frowned. The real world was a terrible place.

He ran his toothbrush under the tap before spreading a pea of toothpaste onto the bristles and went to work brushing his teeth as he searched his drawers for clean socks. Looks like I'm down to my last pair.. That means I have to do laundry. He groaned and looked about the mess of his room. Room needs cleaning too.. Responsibility is a pain. He shrugged, adding it to his mental list of things to do and finished with his teeth. He pulled his shoes on and grabbed his wallet and watch before heading out into the morning air.

The sun was brighter than he had expected which made him wish he owned a pair of sunglasses, but oh well. There were others out and about, but not many on their way to Ruby's Diner which was where he was heading for some grub. Bacon and eggs preferably. He hoped Trixie was behind the counter today. He loved to tease her. He also hoped that Aladdin would either be so late that Peter wouldn't have to see him or skipped work all together. Either way, he didn't want to see him.

He pushed open the diner door and crowed, signalling his arrival. He smiled and waved to a startled Belle and ignored Mallory before moving to the booth he usually occupied in the corner and waited for Trixie or Ruby.

Aura awoke to the sound (or feeling, rather) of a rough tongue on her face and hot breath in her nose. Fluttering her eyes, she came face to face with a speckled tomcat the size of her torso. Any other person might have been heavily startled, but Aura took it in stride and began to scratch his head. "Well, hello there..." she murmured as he purred. Checking his fur, she found now collar nor a scar from where a chip might have been placed. And based on the mud encrusted in there, she deemed him a stray and her new best friend within a minute. "I bet you're hungry, huh?" she asked him, to which he merely gazed at her with sad eyes until she swung her legs around and stood, heading for the kitchen. "Now, I don't have any cat food, but I think I have some tuna leftovers in the fridge. Does that sound okay?" She supposed it was a sign of her character that she spoke to the cat as if it were human, but she also supposed that it didn't mean anything significant. She was happy for the company, for she had gotten a bit lonely as of late.

She put out the tuna dish and smiled as the cat dove right on it. "You need a name..." she whispered, thinking hard. "But a name can't be just anything, it has to suit the person, or...cat, in this case." He looked up at her with wide eyes, licking his chops clean and sitting on the floor while his tail flicked back and forth. "Alright, well, I'm going to think on it over breakfast, okay? And I'll pick up a bed and some toys and things, too," she said, changing into some clothes and grabbing her bag. She made her way over to the door, the cat following her every move so closely that she needed to pick up the pace or he'd claw her heels. "Okay, cat, just stick around here and I'll be back soon," she said as she opened the door. Just as she was about to close it, the cat zoomed through and sat waiting for her on the other side. "No, cat, you stay in and I go out." She motioned for him to get inside, but when she tried to close the door again, he just went right through. They did this dance about three more times before Aura finally threw up her hands in frustration. "Arrête de me suivre!" She exclaimed in french, meaning for him to stop following her. "Suivre...suivre...hmm..." she though aloud. If anyone were to walk by her in the hall they would certainly think her mad, but she paid them no mind. "Alright, I'll call you suivre, sui for short, since you apparently like to follow people." She declared, closing the door behind them both and walking down the stairs, Sui following along placidly.

She made her way over to the diner and walked in to find Mallory and Belle at the counter, and Peter in a booth in the corner. She smiled at each of them and sat at the counter a little ways down from the other girls, Sui hopping up on the stool beside her. Aura had always been sort of quiet, the turmoils of her past causing her to regret any relationship she made. She knew Peter well enough, but until Alice got here, she probably wouldn't talk to anyone unless they came up to her. She pet Sui affectionately and waited for the day to start.

Just as Ruby began to pile her cooked breakfast onto a plate and turn all of the appliances off until customers began to arrive, she heard the bell from the front door of the diner chime just before hearing an all too familiar voice. "Ruby?" It was Trixie. "In the kitchen!" she called out loud enough for her best friend to hear her. Just seconds passed by before the fairy joined her in the kitchen, "Hey! So, you ready for today?" Trixie always seemed to be a bit optimistic and ready for anything that was thrown her way. Although Ruby was that way as well, she was never as optimistic as Trixie was. Maybe that was a good thing.

The female took a sip from her coffee just before answering her question, "As ready as I'll ever be," she stated. Ruby continued to eat her breakfast as quickly as she could without choking herself so that she would at least have some sort of food in her stomach before the morning rush. Last time she didn't eat before everyone began to show up, she passed out and needed to be rushed off to the hospital. This was definitely not something she was looking forward to happening again. So it would be best to eat something, even if it is just something small.

Ruby just finished her last sausage link when she heard the bell chime once more. It was time to get to work. "Ruby? I could really use a huge cup of coffee." The brunette departed from the kitchen to see Mallory in front of the counter. "Of course," she stated with a warm smile and got to work on Mallory's coffee. As often as the townspeople stopped in at the diner, she has memorized everyone's meals and how they take their drinks. Though she always asks if they want their regular before handing off the food or beverage. There are a few who like to change things up once in a while. Upon finishing up with Mal's coffee she handed it over to her. "Any big plans for the day?" she questioned.

Ruby glanced over at the door when she spotted Belle stepping in and she gave her a soft smile before running off to the kitchen to get her pancakes going. Without fail, Belle has always came in to have her chocolate chip pancakes with strawberries and a rose tea. Moments later the brunette brought the plate and beverage out to her best friend and set them down in front of her. "Good morning, Belle," she greeted. Ruby glanced over at the clock hanging on the wall to see that Aladdin was now an hour late for work. She sighed a bit and glanced over at Trixie, "Could you go take care of Peter and Aura's orders while I figure out what is up with Aladdin," she questioned.

Just like any other day, Aladdin has gotten a late start. The previous night he was up wandering around Enchantra just taking in the night air. That was one thing he did almost every night. He preferred to be on his own and the night time was one of the only times he had to himself because most people were off at home. The male sighed as he climbed out of bed and glanced over at the clock to find that it was roughly nine thirty in the morning. Aladdin rolled his eyes and stood to his feet before groggily making his way through his condo towards the bathroom to shower. After he showered, he got dressed and made his way into his bedroom just in time to hear his phone ringing. Must be Ruby, he thought to himself as he lifted the phone and glanced down at the screen to see he was correct.

"Hey Rubes," he stated into the phone as he sat down at the edge of his bed and began to slide his shoes on. "Where are you? You were supposed to be here an hour ago. The morning rush has started and if you wait too much longer to show up Trixie and I will be flooded!" Aladdin rolled his eyes as he heard the heated words spout from his sister's mouth. Ruby has always been hot headed, especially when it came to him. "Alright, alright, calm down. I'll be there," he stated just before hanging up the phone and sliding it into his pocket and stood to his feet. The male reached over to his car keys and proceeded to leave his condo through his personal elevator all the way down to the lobby. He made his way out the front door of the building and headed out towards his vehicle.

Not much longer Aladdin arrived at Ruby's diner and parked behind the building right next to Ruby. He sighed as he rounded the building and stepped in through the front door just in time to notice Trixie, Mallory, Peter, Belle, and Aura all in the main part of the diner. He sighed as he walked pass them all without a word and stepped into the kitchen, knowing that was exactly where Ruby was going to be.

"I'm here, I'm here," he stated as he placed his personal belongings into his locker and closed it behind him. "Must you always wear some sort of suit everyday," Ruby stated sarcastically as she tossed him a pad of paper and a pen. Aladdin just chuckled a bit and stepped out into the dining area and got to work.

Ruby emerged from the kitchen and Belle could just barely make out Trixie hard at work on the other side of the swinging door. Ruby placed Mallory's coffee down in front of the girl just a few seats down and then went back to grab--what Belle hoped to be--her breakfast. As the door swung open again, she could smell rose and chocolate. Definitely her breakfast. As Ruby set down the food before Belle, she greeted her. "Good Morning, Ruby! You know me so well." She smiled at the girl before grabbing the warm mug of tea and took a cautious sip. It was delicious and just the thing to start the morning. She placed the cup back on the counter and grabbed utensils so she could start on her pancakes.

The first bite was fluffy, buttery, and chocolatey, just the way she liked it! "Mmmm.." She moaned around a mouthful of melting chocolate. When she swallowed she called out to Ruby, "These are the absolute best, Ruby!"

The bell above the door would ding every time someone entered and as the day moved on, more and more people came through. Eventually Aura and Alice joined them, both bringing feline companions. They both looked adorable, but one had definitely been outside in the dirt. Belle waved to the girls in greeting before continuing with her breakfast. She prefered dogs anyway. The beasts are easier to tame.

Another ding sounded and Belle saw a flash of blue and black and she smiled softly at her plate. Aladdin was here. He didn't beckon anyone good morning, but that was just his style. Not too long after, he was back out in the diner with a pad in his hand. "Hey Ali!" She called out to him. "I guess you got the memo huh?" She winked at him and gestured to her blue dress. It was almost the exact same shade of blue as his suit. Only his was darker.

Caspin was not happy to be woken up by a horrible alarm as well as the bright sunlight. The harsh rays made him regret there ever drinking and he hates regretting something so wonderful. Caspian was used to the hangovers, but the minor headache was unappreciated. He looked over at the clock and saw that it was still really early. Stores were just opening up and people were getting breakfast. While Caspian was thinking about the next 'appropriate' time to drink. Possibly in another hour or so. But he wanted to see his favorite restaurant owner before consuming the rest of the whiskey in his flask. Rolling over in his bed, he then felt another body in the bed.

He grew a bit wide eyed starting at the red head just laying next to him. Caspian had no idea who she was and didn't even remember how she got in. That was when he took notice of her naked body and then looked over his own. It did not take rocket science for him to know what had happened between them. She looked like she was still asleep, so he slowly crawled out of bed. "Hook?" Caspian heard while he was on his way to the bathroom. He turned around and tossed her a charming smile. "Hello sweetheart. Sleep well?" he asked, trying not to make it seem like he had forgotten her name even though he had. She nodded and then pulled herself out the bed. Caspian now completely understood why they had slept together. She was beautiful. He watched her gather her things. "I would stay, but I have work." Caspian has never felt so lucky. "Of course I understand." He watched her get dressed, admiring the body she was blessed with. She made her way over to him once she was clothed and placed a kiss on her lips. "See you around Captain." The red head gave him a two fingered salute before leaving his apartment. Caspian locked the door behind her and went to his bathroom.

It never takes him very long to get dressed. Once he showers and scrubs the taste of alcohol off his tongue, he just throws on whatever smells nice. Standing before the mirror, he ran his fingers through his hair before giving himself a charming smile. Caspian walked back over to his nightstand and pocketed his flask. Never left home without it. He left his apartment and headed down the restaurant. Everyone always came here for breakfast. The service was fast and the servers were quite nice. For Caspian there was only server he wanted to see in particular. He pushed the door open and flashed everyone a smile. Most of them were the women he has had a tendency to flirt with. "Look at all my beautiful ladies in one place." He said, before winking at Alice.

Cas took his seat at the counter, surrounded by the girls. He saw his friend Aladdin and flagged him over. "Hey Al. What's good today?" He had to refrain from adding, besides Ruby. The two were like siblings and Caspian did not want to look like a complete asshole.

Mallory was waiting rather patiently for her coffee. She wasn't going to rush Ruby since there was no urgent need to open up the herb shop. It wasn't like Mal enjoyed dealing with needy customers that didn't even know what herbs were. It was frustrating especially when the fairy had to pretend like they were right. It made her want to rip her hair out. So she always took her time at breakfast. Mal might actually order food this time as well. Isabelle came into the store and wished the dark fairy a good morning. Mallory smiled brightly at the girl. "Morning Belle" Ruby stood before the blonde with the coffee. If there was something that Ruby could do right, it was making the coffee. "Any big plans for the day?" "Nothing you would be interested in." She said with a small smile before taking a sip of the coffee. It tasted amazing.

Besides plotting to bring everyone here down on their knees, she actually had to clean the herb shop from top to bottom. She really didn't want too. And she couldn't do it with magic. As much as Mallory loved to use it, as far as everyone is concerned magic doesn't exist here. Some minor stuff is possible, but the level of magic flowing through the dark fae might scare some people. That was why she did most things by hand and hated it.

Mal's luck of silence quickly ran out when Captain Hook walked through the door. She hated that dumb pirate. He had no boundaries and just thought that he could walk around drunk. It was stupid and he was stupid. A sigh escaped her and she continued to drink her coffee. Mallory didn't acknowledge him the same way she didn't acknowledge Peter. He was even worse than Hook. She was going to need a second cup of coffee soon.

Ruby was finally given a chance to finish her own breakfast once Aladdin arrived and got to work. Though once she finished, she cleaned the area and proceeded to step out from the kitchen. She smiled a bit when she noticed Caspian had arrived just as does every morning. He was the one person she hoped to see every day, but of course she would never admit that to anyone, especially not Aladdin. Even though she had a feeling he knew about her feelings towards the pirate, his best friend, she still wouldn't want to admit it.

Ruby began to make her way over back behind the counter and noticed that Mallory's cup was almost empty. Just like clockwork she began to work on the female's second cup. After the second cup, most of the time Mallory was known to go on about her own business and take on her responsibilities at her herb shop. "Here is your second," she stated with a warm smile as she sat the glass mug down on the surface before her blonde friend.

The brunette departed from Mallory and sashayed herself towards Caspian and Aladdin who seemed to be having a secretive conversation. She sighed as she leaned against the counter and shot the pirate a flirtatious smile. "Good morning Captain," she greeted. "Anything I can get for you?" she added as she glanced over towards Aladdin who seemed to go immediately silent when the brunette approached. Now he just seemed to be looking back and forth between the two of them as if he were being entertained.

Just as Aladdin arrived into the dining area of the diner, he was greeted by none other than Belle. If there were anyone in this town who made him feel all weak in the knees, it would definitely be that beauty. He gave her a soft smile and nodded his head at her question, "Is it that obvious?" he questioned with a slight chuckle before proceeding to step over towards Peter. "Not sure what is holding up Trixie at the moment, but is there anything I can get ya?" he questioned in a more emotionless tone.

He then glanced over to Aura and Alice who seemed to be talking about some dirty cat that Aura brought in with her. "You too, ladies," he stated motioning for them to let him know what they want to eat and/or drink. He figured that since he was here, he mind as well take all three of their orders. Besides, it would just make Ruby calm down a bit and not snap at him again, at least for the next couple hours or so. If there was anything the petite brunette with the red cloak was famous for, it was snapping at Aladdin more than anyone else in Enchantra. Not because she disliked him, because that was never the case. But more realistically because he always seemed to get on her nerves.

Once Aladdin received their orders, he stepped into the kitchen and began to prepare them before proceeding to bring their food and beverages out. The male passed out their orders before hearing his best friend's voice. "Hey Al. What's good today?" Aladdin glanced over at the male and gave him a welcoming nod of his head before approaching him. "Same thing as every other day," Al responded with sarcasm. In a hushed tone so no one else could hear, especially Ruby, he questioned, "So who was that red head I saw you wandering around town with last night?"

Peter sat patiently, a new skill he seemed to have acquired, while he waited to be served. Trixie was doing something in the back, Ruby was serving those at the counter, and Aladdin was nowhere to be seen. Maybe the street rat decided to stay home today. He was flipping through his phone, when he heard a ding and glanced up. There was a flash of light blue and dark hair as Aladdin had entered and made his way to the back. Not too long after, he reappeared. Then the door opened again and Caspian entered. Peter hung his head. Great, he thought, Just my luck.

He truely didn't think things would get any more uncomfortable for him when Aladdin made his way to their table. Insults about the brightness of the dude suit or how a rat could wear a suit in the first place sat on his tongue, but he never opened his mouth to speak them. He was trying to be nicer to Aladdin and Caspian. He was trying to adult. This was step one. However, he wasn't sure that he'd be able to stick around for long so he said, "The arcade is actually opening soon so I'll need to get going. I'll have a cup of.." he paused. He was going to say coffee since he was trying to mature, but he really didn't like the taste. Juice was too childish so he went with the last thing he could think of, "whatever Belle drinks." He gestured to the girl at the counter with a smile.

"Whatever it is, it makes her look beautiful. I should give it a shot. Might brighten my complexion don't you think?"

Mayday! Mayday! Moving into douche canoe territory! His mind warned.

"Actually I'll have a chocolate milkshake. Have Ruby put a rush on that since I've been waiting a while and really need to go. It's not my fault you show up so late."

Once Aladdin turned to walk away and place his order, he smacked himself in the forehead. So much for trying to be nice.

Caspian rolled his eyes at Al when he gave his sarcastic response. He shouldn't have expected anything less from his best friend. He usually got pancakes every time he came anyway. He just wanted to know if they were ever going to change the menu. Wouldn't kill them to have a special of some kind. "So who was that red head I saw you wandering around town with last night?" Cas chuckled a tad. "I don't even know. I wouldn't be able to remember her name even if your threatened to make me walk the plank." It was bad that he would drink heavily and bed women that he couldn't even remember the name of. It was annoying especially in times like this when he wanted to tell his friend literally anything about the girl. But he couldn't. What made this even worse was that he was most likely going to do it again in the future. Caspian will never admit to a drinking problem. He will admit his addiction to women is growing out of control. He was going to say something else, but Ruby walked over to them.

"Good morning Captain" "Morning beautiful" He followed that comment with a wink. He knew that Ruby was like Aladdin's sister, but he flirted like this with everyone. He just hoped his friend didn't scold him about it later. Ruby was ready to take his order. "Well I'm glad someone is taking my order." He joked, nudging Al a little. "Short stake and coffee. Black of course." He kept the rest of his flirtatious thoughts to himself because he was already overstepping boundaries considering Aladdin was standing right next to them. "And if could get the pancakes in the shape of hearts that would be great." He added, with a bright smile.

Ruby chuckled a bit a Caspian's request for the heart shaped pancakes and shook her head. "I'll see what I can do," she stated before glancing over towards Aladdin. "By the way, Aura, Alice, and Peter's orders are ready." Ruby turned on her heels to step into the kitchen and started getting to work cooking Caspian's breakfast. Just moments later Aladdin followed behind Ruby into the kitchen and began to reach for the finished plates, "At some point we need to get a bit more help around here. With the whole town coming in everyday, it's starting to overwhelm not only you, but Trixie and myself as well. Just a thought," Aladdin mentioned before leaving Ruby alone in the kitchen.

Ruby knew Aladdin was right, but at a time like this she wasn't sure how long she would be able to keep up this charade. How much longer could she go without her closest friends starting to notice that she was putting on an act. Ruby wasn't happy, she wasn't sure who she was anymore, and just a couple nights ago she was the one who killed the strange man who was passing through town. The brunette shook herself from her thoughts and brought Caspian his meal.

Ruby set the plate down on the counter in front of him before brushing her fingers through her hair, trying to keep herself calm. "Enjoy your meal," she stated in a soft tone, hoping that Caspian wouldn't be able to read through her charade.

She immediately found Aladdin after he gave Peter and the girls their meals and pulled him into the kitchen. "I can't do this today. After everyone is finished with their breakfast, close up the diner for the rest of the day. Can you do that?" Ruby knew Aladdin was going to have questions and at this point she didn't really care. "Alright. I hope you feel better soon," Aladdin stated before Ruby walked out the kitchen without another word. She stepped through the diner with her head down at the ground and stepped through the door with the bell ringing behind her as she left the one place she felt like home here in town.

As she walked she felt herself beginning to overwhelm with all sorts of emotion. Her fists balled up in her pockets, tears began to slide down her cheeks, and her heart, it felt as if it were going to beat out of her chest. Ruby was confused, frustrated, angry, sad, she couldn't believe she let her guard down and allowed herself to do that to a complete stranger. If anyone found out everyone in town would peg her as nothing more than a murderer. What would they think if they found out about the wolf? The only people in town who knows about it are Aladdin and Caspian. Even then she wouldn't be able to admit to her two favorite men in the world she was the one who took the life from the man. That wasn't who she was, at least, that's what she thought.

Aladdin sat there with a smirk upon his face as he listened to the flirtations back and forth between his sister and best friend. Even though he wouldn't be all that happy about Ruby finding comfort in Caspian, he would be glad that she would finally find someone if their relationship ever developed into something more. Of course that wouldn't mean that Aladdin wouldn't kick Caspian's ass if he needed to, because regardless Ruby would always be his sister.

Just as if demanded, Aladdin stood to his feet and departed from his best friend to serve the morning meals to Peter, Aura, and Alice. But just before he stepped out of the kitchen to do so, he told Ruby, "At some point we need to get a bit more help around here. With the whole town coming in everyday, it's starting to overwhelm not only you, but Trixie and myself as well. Just a thought."

Aladdin placed the meals and beverages in front of the three customers, a couple of them he would call his friend but there was one male in particular he wouldn't be able to handle if the two of them were in a room alone. Sure, he understood why Peter was the way he was, but that didn't make the blond any less annoying. "Enjoy your meals," he stated just before he as dragged into the kitchen by none other than Ruby.

He was worried about her, she was definitely acting strange, stranger than she ever had. Aladdin just wished he would be able to figured out what was bothering her so much. "I can't do this today. After everyone is finished with their breakfast, close up the diner for the rest of the day. Can you do that?" Aladdin nodded his head at Ruby's words, "Yeah, you be safe and let me know if you need anything, anything at all," Aladdin stated in Ruby's direction before he watched her step out the kitchen. Aladdin let out a sigh and shook his head to himself. He hoped Ruby was going to be alright.

Peter waited patiently for his breakfast knowing that Ruby was probably really busy with customers. He looked to his right and he found his thinking to be true, only he wasn't pleased by the customer that she was busy with. Caspian. His hands slowly balled into fists, but he made himself relax. He was trying to be a better guy. Especially to Caspian, but sometimes their past just... sometimes he just couldn't get himself to let go. He had thought about joining the conversation, knowing Ruby would keep a fight from breaking out between them, but then thought against it. He could barely control his mouth around Aladdin. He really didn't want to know how he'd behave around Caspian, Ruby or no. So he sat and waited.

Peter was actually impressed in the lack of response from Aladdin at his outburst earlier and smiled apologetically at the man, but he didn't seem to notice which, of course, made Peter angry, but he pushed it down and quietly muttered "Thanks for the meal" before taking a sip. It was delicious, of course. Everything in this diner was. It was almost like magic, if Peter believed in such things anymore. He left the money for the milkshake on the table as well as a tip for Aladdin as another apology, and headed off to work. The arcade opened earlier than Peter would've liked, but it as a job and it was fun and that's all that really mattered to him. As he walked, he heard someone coming up behind him. He turned to find Ruby.

Her eyes were firmly fixed on the ground as she walked and when she passed he could've sworn he heard her sniffling. His eyes widened and his chest ached with worry for the girl who was like a sister and he reached out to her without hesitation. "Ruby? Ruby what's the matter? Are you sick? Are you hurt?" He moved around in front of her so she could see the worry in his brown eyes. Knowing her, she would probably push him away and storm off, angry at herself for being seen--She was just that type of girl-- but he had to try. The protective side of him needed to comfort her, even if she wouldn't tell him what was wrong.

Isabelle finished her breakfast with a smile on her face, and sipped at her tea as she waited for the check. She heard the conversation between Alice and Aura and smiled softly. Alice was always so thoughtful when it came to others. She glanced at the clock and felt a sense of urgency course through her. She was going to be late opening the shop if she didn't leave soon. She was allowed flexible hours, but she liked to be reliable. She waved down Ali, with a soft and apologetic smile for interrupting his work. "I'm ready for th-"

Ruby came out of the kitchen, head down and silent, and left the diner. "...check."She stared after her friend a moment before turning back to Ali, "Is Ruby okay?" She asked, worry filling her features. "Did something happen?"

Ruby quickly lifted her head from the sudden surprise of a hand wrapping around her arm. She was ready to let the person have a taste of her wrath before she realized it was the sweet Peter. The female wiped her eyes and gave him a soft response, "I'm alright. Go on about your day and don't worry about me," she stated before turning away from Peter and began to continue back through town.

How could I be stupid enough to let Peter see me crying. Questions are going to arise, people are going to try to get me to talk things out. Things were definitely going to unfold in an ugly manner, the brunette shook her head at herself as she continued through town towards the outskirts that was nothing more than a wooded area. She stood at the edge of the woods and stared, as if getting lost, hypnotized almost. The woods always gave her comfort, made her feel more at home than anywhere else in the world. Of course she knew it had something to do with her wolf persona, but who would she ever be able to explain this to? Who wouldn't judge her for it, put her down for who she truly is? No one. She knew that. Not even Caspian would understand and he has done horrible things in his past as well.

Maybe she just wasn't having enough faith in her friends, maybe she wasn't taking the time to think things through before jumping to conclusions. But there was nothing else she could ever think about. Ruby murdered someone, took a life from a complete stranger and nobody knew but her. This horrible secret was just eating her alive. The man had family, friends, even had a couple little kids to go back home to. All those people, those loved ones, she took him away from them. For what reason? There was not a single one. The wolf was bloodthirsty, that was all there was to it. If it were up to Ruby, she would have complete control over the wolf. If it weren't for the fact she had lost her red hood somewhere and had yet to find it, things wouldn't have gone sour. So many things could have gone differently if she hadn't misplaced that stupid red hood.

With a sigh Ruby looked up to the sky, tears continuing to slide down her cheeks, "Granny, what should I do?" Finally Ruby dropped down to the ground and sat there, crying, in silence. She needed this time t be alone, there was no other way for her to heal.

Aladdin was just beginning to get back to work when he was waved down by none other than his friend Belle. "I'm ready for th-" Just as she was beginning to speak she cut herself off when she noticed Ruby walking out of the diner giving off nothing more than a cold shoulder to everyone in the small building. Aladdin just wished he knew what was going on, maybe he'd be able to help. "...check." She stared as Ruby left the diner before adding, "Is Ruby okay? Did something happen?"

Aladdin sighed when he heard Belle's thoughts and walked around to the register as he began to get the brunette's check ready for her as he answered her questions. "I'm not sure. She didn't say very much before she left," he answered as he handed Belle the check. "These past couple of days she has been acting strange. Something is going on, but I'm not sure what. I'll try to send Caspian after her, maybe he'll be able to break it out of her."

Aladdin returned to Caspian with a sigh as he sat down on the chair beside his best friend. He glanced over at him with a serious look upon his face and spoke up, "Something is up with Ruby. She won't tell me what's going on and I figured that she'd tell you. You always seem to have a way of making her open up. Could you hunt her down, see if she's alright. Even if she doesn't tell you what's going on, just make sure she is okay," Aladdin questioned, hoping that Caspian would do this favor for him. Aladdin was never one to ask people of favors, especially since he has never been all that great at returning them. But when it comes down to Ruby, he'd be willing to do whatever it took to make sure she was alright, even if it meant sending his best friend in his place.

Peter half expected Ruby to bite his head off, but instead, she wiped at her eyes and gave him a soft response. He smiled sadly at her, knowing full well that she was probably anything, but okay, but if he kept pushing, she'd shut down faster than she'd open up. So he nodded and gave her arm a reassuring squeeze before he let go saying, "If you need me, you know where to find me." He watched her rush away, worry knotting in his chest, but he pushed it into a small imaginary box that held all the things he didn't want to focus on. Like Tink's whereabouts. He shook his head hard. Well, that thought escaped the "box". He pushed it back in and mentally locked it.

He continued on his way to the arcade, milkshake in hand. By the time he reached the building, his cup was empty and he tossed it in the trash just outside the door. He reached into his back pocket for the keys, and found the key for the arcade right away. He had the copy decorated so he could easily find it. It had a space theme on it which reminded him of a story he had found about toys coming to life while the owners weren't looking. The pizza parlor was spaced themed and had arcade games--specifically a crane game--and so. A space key. He unlocked the doors, turned on the lights and games, and prepared the arcade for the day's children coming by to play. As he waited, he opened the box slightly, allowing some things to spill out to occupy his time. He found himself disappointed that he hadn't the opportunity to see Trixie at work. And he was worried for Ruby who wasn't usually crying and leaving work early. A dangerous thought crossed his mind. He curled his hands into fists. If Caspian or Aladdin hurt her in any way, they would be sorry.

There was the soft chime of a bell as the door opened. A sign that the day had officially begun. He shoved the thoughts back into the box, placed a smile on his face, and greeted his first customers of the day.

Belle, worried for her friend, but was relieved to hear that Aladdin was going to send Caspian after her. She nodded in agreement with the idea and said, "That'll be good." She wanted to ask more about what could be causing her to be upset, but resisted. She couldn't let her curiosity get the better of her. Ruby wasn't the type of person to be very... personal with her. She rarely talked about her life beyond work so she was sure she wouldn't get much of an answer out of her. She wasn't entirely sure she'd be able to comfort the girl either. They were friends, but only in the sense they enjoyed each other's company from time to time. Caspian, Belle could tell, was the better choice. She seemed to open herself a little more to him. Still, she couldn't help but worry. She payed her check and was about to leave, when a familiar face came out of the swinging doors in the kitchen. Trixie.

"Hey, Tink!" She greeted cheerfully. "I bet it was a crazy one with all the people in here just in the first couple of hours." She fiddled with the napkin dispenser and the checkbook unsure exactly how to break the news to her friend that she was leaving for work and couldn't stay to chat. She decided that the truth was better than nothing so she explained. "I actually just paid my check and I'm off to open the bookshop. But you know me, you can text me anytime! I want to hear all about it, okay?" She took ahold of Tink's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze allowing her eyes to show just how sorry she was. "You also missed Peter. You should probably text him, too." She stood, made her way around the counter, and gave her friend a hug. "Again, I'm so sorry, Tink! But I have to go, I'll see you later? You could always come by the bookshop."

Mallory thanked Ruby when she poured the second cup of coffee. The amount of people she had to pretend to be nice too was giving her a headache. Caffeine wasn't the way to fix it, but Mal did not have access to pain relievers at the moment. And she wasn't just going to magic them up. Keeping a low profile is pretending like her magic ability is minimal to non existent. She sipped her coffee, trying her best not to eavesdrop on the various conversations around her. Though it was hard. No one was attempting to be discreet. But that meant there was nothing interesting to listen too. It was the whispers that made this town interesting. Mal finished her coffee and didn't wait for her check. The price for high quality caffeine never changed. Dropping cash by her empty cup, she slid off the barstool and said her goodbyes.

She headed down the street to her herb shop. It was time to open. Mallory pushed open the front door and the tiny bell went on. She flipped on the lights. It wasn't as rundown as most herb shops. It was clean, organized, and welcoming. Though many people did not enter an herb shop for the fact they aren't familiar with what they do. Besides being some of the ingredients in some of her deadliest spells, they work for health remedies. It was the biggest thing. It works almost immediately and does give the nasty side affects like medicine. Mallory moved behind the counter. Opening the cash register, she started counting the money while waiting for a customer.

Caspian happily took his pancakes and saw the attempt to make them heart-shaped. "Thank you, Darling." he said with a wink. He started eating his breakfast, watching his Aladdin run around and deal with the different people. It was slightly entertaining. The people watching. But it was even better with some alcohol. It was early, but Cas lived by the 'it's five o' clock' somewhere rule. Pulling out his flask, he poured just a bit of whiskey into his coffee. He put the flask away and tasted his drink. It was fantastic. His focus went back to the pancakes on his plate. Then his thoughts went to the random red head in his bed. Caspian had no idea who she was and why she was there. He didn't even remember how he ended up with her. Cas must have had something really strong. Possibly absinthe. That always found a way to mess him up. Just then he watched Ruby leave the restaurant. Caspian wondered where she was going, but she looked as though she was in a mood to be left alone.

The Captain finished his breakfast when Aladdin came and sat next to him. "How can I help you Al?" he asked with a cheery smile, pulling out cash from his pocket. "Something is up with Ruby. She won't tell me what's going on and I figured that she'd tell you. You always seem to have a way of making her open up. Could you hunt her down, see if she's alright. Even if she doesn't tell you what's going on, just make sure she is okay," The smiled on Cas' face died and he nodded. "I will see what I can do." He wasn't making any promises. Ruby had a way of staying hidden when she did not want to be found. Cas left cash on the table next to his breakfast to cover both the meal and the tip. With a two finger salute to Al, he left the restaurant.

Caspian wasn't exactly sure where he should have started looking for Ruby. She spent most of her time in the restaurant or at her home. He would sometimes catch her on the street, but those were the two places he would go to bother her. He started walking down the street, trying to think about where she would disappear too. Then the thought hit him. Caspian started heading off into the woods. It was a rather awkward situation when Ruby told him that she was a wolf. Not awkward bad, but awkward more Cas did not know what to say. She said, but she did not seem happy with it. In fact, she was looked as though she was keeping a secret out of fear. Of course Caspian didn't pester he about that. He did not care that she was a wolf. It wasn't her fault that she was one. And he has been sworn to secrecy. Even when black out drunk, he knows not to tell anyone. He is too close to Ruby to do that to her.

Caspian would have killed for her sense of smell at the moment. Tracking her down was not the easiest thing. Especially since he was not big on land. He could find her with a compass and a sailboat out in the middle of the ocean. But this. It was a tad bit harder. After wandering around for a bit more, he finally heard something other than him. It was tears. He followed the noise as best as he could, trying not to make any noise. Out in front of him, he saw Ruby on the ground. It was evident that the tears had come from her since she was still crying. He continued to walk towards her, before sitting down next to her. "Hello beautiful" he said with a charming smile "Why are you crying?"

Just like any other time Ruby was in desperate need of her Granny's advice, all she received in turn was complete silence. There was no one around who would understand, even if they tried she knew they wouldn't. Sure there were a couple people in town who has killed someone, but the ones who have most likely didn't feel any regard towards the fact they took someone's life away. She on the other hand had so many emotions rolling through her she wasn't sure how much longer she would be able to stay sane.

With a sigh she returned her attention back to the ground. Just as soon as silence began to engulf her, she heard footsteps in the distance. She hoped that whoever it was wasn't looking for her. She was in no mood to converse with anyone. It took all she had not to snap at Peter, the only reason she didn't was because he cared. He was her brother after all, of course he wanted to make sure she was okay.

The moment the footsteps got a bit closer, she was able to pick up on the scent of a man and whiskey. Though it wasn't any ordinary mixture of smells, she immediately knew who it was. As much as she wanted to just get up and take off into the woods to be left alone, she felt herself freeze. When Caspian sat down beside her she took a look over at him, seeing that he had a look of concern in his eyes. "Hello beautiful," he said with a charming smile. "Why are you crying?"

Ruby sat there in silence for a brief moment, trying to get herself to calm down a bit before saying or doing anything. Finally she let out a sigh and returned her attention back towards the woods. "If I tell you, it would ruin how you think of me and I don't want to take that chance. It's something horrible," she stated as she stood to her feet and once again returned her attention to the woods.

Al was relieved to hear that Caspian was going to go check on Ruby. Hopefully he would be able to get her to open up about what was bothering her, but he had a feeling it wasn't going to be easy. Ruby was never the easiest person to talk about what is on her mind. Most of the time you need to catch her when she is at her weakest in order to get anything out of her. That was just who she was. The woman was tough and dealt with a lot in her life mainly on her own. But he knew she needed someone to talk to.

It didn't take much longer for everyone to be on their way from the diner, allowing him to begin closing up for the day as Ruby wanted. With a sigh he turned the sign to closed and glanced over at Trixie as he began to lock the door. "Have a good day Trixie. See ya later," he stated to the petite woman with a warm smile. He didn't exactly know the young woman very much, but he was friendly towards her. Mainly for Ruby's sake.

He decided that since he had the rest of the day off he would show up at Belle's bookshop just to pester her for a bit. He always seemed to get a laugh out of it. The girl was one of his favorite people in Enchantra and honestly, seeing Belle was exactly what he needed in order to get his mind off of Ruby for a bit. He began to make his way through town towards her bookshop, just as it started to rain. The male sighed and rolled his eyes up at the sky before entering the bookshop.

"Hey Belle. How's it going?" he stated as he stepped up to the front desk and began to pick around at the books that was laying around her.

Caspian wasn't sure what he was expecting Ruby to do when he asked his question. Some part of him wanted her to just start confessing what she was thinking so that he could help her. But he should have known better. Ruby was not the type to just share her feelings at the drop of the hat. Even the people close to her had to work try extra hard. Caspian was no exception that. "If I tell you, it would ruin how you think of me and I don't want to take that chance. It's something horrible," He raised an eyebrow and watched her stand up. Now he was even more curious to know what she was thinking and what she considered horrible. "You of all people should know. It will take more than that to get me to just leave you alone."

He pushed himself up off the ground and crossed his arms. "Ruby. Something is eating away at you. You shouldn't have to deal with whatever it is alone. He told her. Caspian should know. As the son of pirates and being one himself, there are a lot of things he had seen and done that most people would not just let blow over. He has been trying to change of course. It started with no longer sailing. But some other habits die hard. "I didn't leave your side when you told me about you being a wolf. I won't leave your side now." he reassured. He knew that Ruby was good at heart and something that was out of her control could not be blamed on her. "You know I keep my word. Please tell me what is going through your mind." Caspian wanted to make her feel better .
