She nodded, closing her eyes as she still listened to him, taking in all the words he was saying.

"Your smile, you know. It makes me feel happy, and that's something special I'll tell you that. No one in years has truly been able to make a real smile for me, and your smile just makes me want to smile due to feeling so happy."

She smiled a bit, her tail and horns slowly disappearing until they where gone, if was working!

"You're my friend, Ruby. My first in years, so your special. Because, I would never be friends with a bad person. I already have an awful uncle, so your an amazing change from that."

Her claws slowly disappeared and her skin turned back to it's normal color. She opened her eyes and blinked in surprise, staring at her now normal hands.
"You really mean it?"

He nodded. "one hundred percent."

She turned and hugged him, kissing his cheek before pulling away.

His face instantly turned dark pink.

She didn't say anything, turning away and hugging Soultice, who asked for a kiss as well, but she ignored him.

Dexter couldn't help but sigh happily.
