The first Ruthie and T-bone fanfic (Or at least I think it is…)!!
Ruthie, after talking to her father about the kilt, keeps walking with T-bone.
Ruthie: He says "Goodbye" too...Not so close.
Girl in the hallway: Are you guys together?
T-bone: I hope so.
Ruthie (nudges him): I don't think so.
Girl: Well, I have been hearing that you two are the "big talk" around here.
T-bone: Really...How interesting...(looks at Ruthie)
Ruthie: ...No...( talking to the girl then looks back at him)...maybe
Girl: If it's any constellation, you two look great together.
T-bone: Thanks.
During lunch when they are grabbing school lunch
Ruthie: They are looking at us.
T-bone: What's the problem?
Ruthie: My problem is maybe they are getting the wrong idea.
T-bone: What kind of idea?
Ruthie: T-bone.
T-bone: What I'm a man!
Ruthie: Well, you are not making-out with this women right now.
Walking to the table and sitting down
T-bone: There's nothing stopping me.
Ruthie: What about me?
T-bone: The women that kiss me 4 times in the past two days.
Students start whispering
Ruthie: Hey! Keep that down.
T-bone: Why do you not want them to know?
Ruthie: If someone finds out here then they will end up telling the town and my family.
T-bone: How bad is that?
Ruthie: You really like this. You are making fun of me because I don't want to tell anyone...yet.
T-bone: So you will. I wouldn't make fun of you. I just wanted to know why you want to keep this (pointing at Ruthie then at him) a dirty little secret.
Ruthie: Alright. Do you want me to tell them?
T-bone: Sure. When and how?
Ruthie: Like this...(grabs him and kisses him in front of everyone in the lunch room)
T-bone (after the kiss): Wow. It gets better with time.
After school during dinner...well, waiting for dinner.
Mrs. Camden: Where is he?...Where's everyone.
T-bone: Don't worry, Mrs. Camden. Everyone else is gone doing something and you and Lucy just called him and he said he was coming.
Ruthie: T-bone is right, Mom, but if you want we can both go look for him.
T-bone: Sure. He can be to hard to find.
Mrs. Camden: I don't really want you out right now in the night. So Margaret and Jane are busy?
T-bone: The last I heard was they both got jobs right now.
Mrs. Camden: Well, that's good. Okay, to make me feel better...Ruthie, take the cell phone with you and call when you two find him. Please just look for him and not anything else.
Ruthie: What else would we do? (looks at T-bone and notices that he has a smile on his face)...Trust me, mom. We won't.
T-bone: Till we get back anyways.
Ruthie: T-BONE!
T-bone: What! You said that they already know.
Mrs. Camden: We do.
Ruthie: You do?
T-bone: Really?
Ruthie: Well, I was the one that told you.
T-bone: Well, you just question it.
Ruthie: So did you!
Mrs. Camden: We found out from Sam and David.
Ruthie: Ha! I told you that they would tell.
Mrs. Camden: It's not just them. We slinked down and heard you two talking and.
Ruthie: You heard us talk! Mom.
T-bone: Shouldn't we go to look for your dad?
Ruthie: Alright. Let's go.
T-bone and Ruthie look and walk around a few streets till they notice a man lying on the concrete next to the movie theater.
T-bone: That's odd.
Ruthie: Could it be my dad?
T-bone: I hope not, but we should check.
Ruthie and T-bone run up to the laying man
Ruthie: O...my...he's my dad...what are we going to do? Is he okay?
T-bone (shaking Mr. Camden): He's not waking up. Have you taken Health classes, Ruthie?
Ruthie: Yeah, but I don't remember.
T-bone: Ruthie, did you bring the cell phone with you?
Ruthie: Sure, but I don't know who to call first.
T-bone: Okay, you say with your dad and I'll call 911 then your mom.
Ruthie (looking at him then to her dad): Alright...
