Roy: I'll help you.

Ruby: I want to eat food, not a disaster. So, let her cook.

Roy: Don't underestimate the power of a common man!

(They head to the kitchen and start cooking.)

Ruby (noticing 19 Century shivering): Let's play Truth or Dare!

Joy: How can you be so carefree right now?

Ruby: Come on, we should enjoy every moment, right? What do you say, 19 Century?

(19 Century nods hesitantly.)

Ruby: Alright, let's start! (They begin playing.)

Roy: How can she be like this?

Fiona (smiling): That's just who she is. She acts like she doesn't care, but deep down, she does.

Roy: How long have you two been friends?

Fiona: Hmm… five years.

Roy: Five years?! I can't stand her for five seconds! (shocked) Doesn't she ever annoy you?

Fiona: Not really. Maybe because she's always nice to me… and she's funny.

(Meanwhile, in the game…)

Ruby: Truth or Dare?

Joy: Hmm… Truth.

Ruby: Do you have a crush?

Joy: (hesitates) Yeah… (his eyes soften as he glances toward the kitchen.)

Ruby: Ooooh! Who is she? Have you ever done anything special for her?

Joy: I won't say her name, but… I wrote a song for her. And I want her to hear it.

Ruby: Ohhh, this is getting interesting!

Fiona: Can we hear it? (She finishes setting the plates on the table.)

Joy (blushing): Uh… okay.

19 Century: Hey, I heard you're good with instruments. I found this guitar under the sofa. (Hands him the guitar.)

(Joy takes a deep breath and starts playing "Fallen in Love." As he sings, everyone falls silent, completely captivated. Roy watches him, a small smile on his face, but a flicker of jealousy in his eyes.)

(After Joy finishes singing)

Fiona: Wow, that's a beautiful song.

Ruby: Well... I don't want to admit it, but she's right. The melody is so sweet. (acting indifferent but clearly moved by his song)
