A/N: Hey there :) So, I came up with an idea and decided to write a story. I hope you like it, even though there isn't much here. The story is mainly about Ruby and her close friends/family. I will be introducing new characters too, but that will come later :) Please review, I'd love to know what you're thinking! Xxx, Claudia :)
"Ruby Buckton?" a voice laughed. Ruby turned around immediately.
"Oh my, April Scott?" Ruby giggled.
"Walker" April held up her left hand.
"April Walker, oh my, shit!" Ruby hugged her friend, crying into her shoulder.
"We have so much to catch up on, how long are you here for?" April asked, moving out of the way of a cyclist.
"For a long time" Ruby sighed, wiping her tears away.
"Oh my gosh Rubes, I can't believe you're even here!" April hugged Ruby again as they made their way to April and Dex's house.
It'd been years since Ruby Buckton was in Summer Bay, years since she'd seen anyone from her small, beloved town. She planned on getting up to speed with everything she'd missed in the past eight years. Planned on fixing everything she'd screwed up so many years ago. She planned on redeeming her life. Ruby had wrecked so many things in her life, but now, she was wiping the slate clean, hoping everybody else would be as forgiving.
"Dex!" Ruby hugged her friend.
"Ruby. No way. This really you Rubes?" Dex laughed, hugging her back.
"The one and only" Ruby grinned.
"What are you doing back here?" Dex put the kettle on. "Tea, coffee, water?"
"Tea thanks, peppermint. Just decided I needed to come back I suppose" Ruby shrugged, sitting down across from Dex.
"Becky!" April smiled. "Becky, this is Ruby - Ruby this is Becky, our daughter" April smiled down at the little girl her and Dex shared.
"Hello Becky" Ruby smiled warmly at the girl.
"Beck's five, aren't you darling?" Dex asked.
"Yep, I'm five, Ruby. How old are you?" the innocent girl asked confidently.
"I'm the same age as your mummy and daddy, we went to school together" Ruby smiled.
"Oh, okay. Mummy, can I go play with Chelsea now?" Becky looked up at her mother.
"Sure sweetie, daddy will take you over now" April smiled at Dex.
"Oi, why am I - fine" Dex rolled his eyes.
"Thanks babe. Tell Indi and James I say hi" April kissed Dex's cheek, then Becky's. "Alright, they're gone, tell me everything!" April placed the teapot and two mugs in front of Ruby and sat down, taking Dex's spot.
