INT. JANE'S ROOM - DAY Jane and Ruby are sitting on Jane's bed, talking about their upcoming science project. JANE: I can't wait to start working on our project. I have a feeling we're going to do really well this year. RUBY: Me too. But Jane, there's something I need to tell you. JANE: What is it? RUBY: I'm not exactly human. Jane looks at Ruby in confusion. JANE: What do you mean you're not human? RUBY: I'm 25% robot, 25% pig, 25% hyena, and 25% mermaid thing. Jane's jaw drops in shock. JANE: Wait...what? Are you saying that you're some kind of AI robot or something? RUBY: Yeah. My creator made me to be a hybrid of different animals and machines. JANE: Wow. I had no idea. So, you're basically like a robot with animal parts? RUBY: Yes, that's one way to put it. Jane pauses for a moment, trying to process what she just found out. JANE: Does anyone else know about this? RUBY: No, you're the first person I've ever told. JANE: I don't know what to say. This is all so crazy. RUBY: I know it's a lot to take in, but I hope you can still be my friend. JANE: Of course I can. You're still Ruby, no matter what you're made of. Ruby smiles, feeling relieved. RUBY: Thanks, Jane. You're the best. Jane smiles back, feeling grateful for her unusual friend. JANE: No problem. We'll still ace that science project together, no matter what.
