(Music: Another Town, Another Train - instrumental)

Meanwhile in the past, after a long trip through the country, the train finally arrived to Las Vegas. As soon as she stopped, Ruby got off with her suitcase in hand. Looking around her, she was amazed by this marvelous city she was going to explore. She knew a new life was waiting here for her.

(Song: Summer Night City)

YOUNG RUBY (intro a cappella) - End of night, a new day dawning
And the first birds start to sing
In the pale light of the morning
Nothing's worth remembering
It's a dream, it's out of reach
Scattered driftwood on a beach

As the music started, Ruby was walking through the streets of the city between the townsfolk.

TOWNSFOLK - Summer night city
Summer night city

YOUNG RUBY - Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark

TOWNSFOLK - Summer night city
YOUNG RUBY - Walking in the moonlight, love-making in a park

TOWNSFOLK - Summer night city
In the sun I feel like sleeping
I can't take it for too long
My impatience slowly creeping
Up my spine and growing strong

YOUNG RUBY - I know what's waiting there for me
Tonight I'm loose and fancy-free

Everybody began to dance with Ruby at the center of this huge musical number.

EVERYONE - When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo
Lots to take and lots to give
Time to breathe and time to live

Ruby arrived to her hotel and went straight to the lobby.

YOUNG RUBY - Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark

TOWNSFOLK - Summer night city
YOUNG RUBY - Walking in the moonlight, love-making in a park

TOWNSFOLK - Summer night city

THE RECEPTIONIST - It's elusive call it glitter
Somehow something turns me on
Some folks only see the litter
We don't miss them when they're gone

The receptionist gave Ruby her room key. Turning back, she looked around her.

YOUNG RUBY - I love the feeling in the air
My kind of people everywhere

Walking though the corridor, Ruby was surrounded by the hotel's staff who carried her to her room.

EVERYONE - When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo
And tomorrow, when the dawning
And the first birds start to sing
In the pale light of the morning
Nothing's worth remembering
It's a dream, it's out of reach
Scattered driftwood on the beach

YOUNG RUBY - Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark

TOWNSFOLK - Summer night city
YOUNG RUBY - Walking in the moonlight, love-making in a park

TOWNSFOLK - Summer night city
Summer night city

Entering her room, Ruby suddenly felt faint and rushed to the restroom where she vomited: she was pregnant.
