#With Rue holding May arms around her middle just floating circling air cuddle as they rise

[mushroom-for-art]

Another animation script thingy, at this point I'm pretty sure they're just fanfics with lyrics but pft who cares, song is "I'll save you" by Jordan Sweeto and Rue belongs to @blues-sues

Start scene Rue is in a room we are looking inwards through a window where we can just make out her taking up most of the window view and a blurred empty background room behind her, she is staring longingly out into the world

"I've seen that look before, I've worn it all too well"

May pops up from nowhere, she is on the other side she is in the outside while Rue is still inside, she cocks her head and smiles at Rue

"It's hard to comprehend, How far that I have fell"

Rue pulls away slightly from the window in surprise and a level of conditioned shame at wanting to escape as May tilts her head the other way

"But I have found a place, That I can call my own"

May is speaking somewhere between the lyrics of the song and telling Rue she's found somewhere they can go as she pushes open the window

"And I could take you there, Why should you be alone?"

May holds her hand out to Rue her hand in the room with Rue who looks for a moment back at her surroundings taking a moment to consider that somebody wants her

"No need to hesitate, What are we waiting for?"

Before she takes Mays hand being pulled free from the imprisonment, physical or metaphorical is up to interpretation

"I know, You're what I'm looking for

(Looking for, looking for...)"

They fall backwards together or maybe they're flying Rue half leaping to her freedom and into her friends arms with joyous laughter and smiles unheard, May as normal is staring at her friend with so much love

" Oh baby

Tear down the night sky

And I'll save you

From your mundane life

Yeah, I'll hold the door

You take the stage light

Have you wanted more?"

It's implied May is 'singing' this part, they are soaring through a star filled sky together holding hands circling each other spinning in play, Rue flies upwards through the stars that ripple around her as though in water as May looks on at her in adoration during the "and I'll save you from your mundane life, Yeah i'll hold the door" lines, the stars glisten around Rue sticking to her making her dazzle decorated with stars as she takes the stage light so to speak it's probably quite metaphorical for her taking and wanting more from life which she is now getting being a glistening free star, and May as always is staring at her with love and warmth

"Tear down the night sky

And I'll save you

From your mundane life

Yeah, I'll hold the door

You take the stage light

'Cause I found the cure

You're what I'm looking for"

They crash playfully into a patch of grass as the second part of the chorus plays out, Rue splaying out on her back as the dark blue hues of nighttime grass cradle around her as May sits with her watching Rue who is still beaming with her freedom laughing as she lies there before curling a bit onto her side cause, oof big tired girl, May smiles at her as "'Cause I found the cure, you're what I'm looking for" plays, because while the freedom was Rues cure, her existence happiness and joy is Mays

"Now if we stay right here, We'll always be this young"

May flops down in the grass besides her her mouth is moving once more either saying the lyrics or something along those lines as Rue smiles at her

"I'll never leave your side, We'll never have to run"

May turns on her side to look at Rue properly, this time she is definitely saying the lyrics because she is never intentionally gonna leave rues side

"And I can feel your heart, As you lay by my side"

Their forms become more simple lineart like, showing their hearts and the many strings attached due to their mutual attachment to each other, as friends for Rue and as a bit more for May but they can feel that security that safety in that moment that neither is gonna abandon the other

"Your eyes are all I know, This world where I reside"

Their forms return to color Mays mouth is moving and we see Rues eyes with sparkles of stars, and we briefly show May with a blush hue as we move to the prechorus

"No need to hesitate

What are we waiting for?

I know, You're what I'm looking for

(Looking for, looking for...)"

Rue is the one to pull May up by a hand pulling her up into the sky with her as May is falling leaping pulled into Rue more than happily as Rue seems to be singing this part, though as she gestures to the scenery she may be more so implying the freedom is what she's been looking for

"Oh baby

Tear down the night sky

And I'll save you

From your mundane life

Yeah, I'll hold the door

You take the stage light

Have you wanted more?"

Rue is the one taking the lead again, she is wanting freedom for them both and she sees being trapped as the mundane life, but we can see May is just a bit distracted and as Rue turns to her at the "Have you wanted more?" line May is seen looking away, because she does but she knows she can't have that

" Tear down the night sky

And I'll save you

From your mundane life

Yeah, I'll hold the door

You take the stage light

'Cause I found the cure

You're what I'm looking for"

Rue moves back over to May moving to gently take Mays hands in hers tilting and leaning her head a bit closer mouth moving not understanding why May seems to not be as happy as she is (and of course May is happy that rue is free and can be truly happy she's trying to hide her own struggle of being in love with rue and thinking rue is politely ignoring that)

May properly looks at Rue at the "You're what I'm looking for," line her mouth moving either as the lyrics or to answer Rues questions with something along the lines of that

"And I can be your light, when all you know is fear

(And I can take you there, and I can take you there)"

Rue blinks and we see May try to take her hands away because the fear is setting in as Rue instead wraps her arms around May waist area in a hug as they slowly float up together and slowly spin surrounded by stars

" And I can lift you up, far from these fallen tears

(And I can take you there, and I can take you there)"

Rue lifts her head to look at May as sparkles of tears fall out her eyes turning into glitters and Rue tilts her head a bit and smiles at May in a fond way with May awkwardly smiling at her in turn

" Why should we hesitate, what are we waiting for?

(And I can take you there, and I can take you there, and I can take you there)"

Rue leans her head forward and gently bumps her forehead to Mays, (headbutt of love), her hand comes up to gently hold the side of Mays face who leans into it as the "And I can take you there" builds, Mays back faces the camera for their slow spin and rise and at the last most built up powerful "And I can take you there" Rue leans forward and we see them both tumbling, Rue falling forwards kissing May who is falling backwards but her arms moving to wrap around Rue just a dramatic but gentle fall kiss

"Oh baby

Tear down the night sky

And I'll save you

From your mundane life

Yeah, I'll hold the door

You take the stage light

Have you wanted more?"

As the lyrics "oh baby" plays they can still be seen calling together arms around each other faces smooshed together in a kissy before they disappear from frame and then reappear they both come back into frame Rue holding Mays hands both sporting wide grins as they twirl through the stars together becoming decorated in glistening light as the sky in the background slowly fades from night to a lazy sunrise

"Tear down the night sky

And I'll save you

From your mundane life

Yeah, I'll hold the door

You take the stage light

'Cause I found the cure

You're what I'm looking for"

They fly together arms wrapped around each other as the new day joins them before they do eventually find a place to land though still holding the other in their arms, the camera pulls away as the sunrises and they become more silhouettes against the warm colors of morning we see Mays shorter form lean her head against and into Rue cuddling in the morning sun

"Yeah, you're what I'm looking for"

Rues silhouette leans back into May her head resting against her in return, and you know they're gonna be incredibly tired from being up playing all night
