Ruddie

Ruddie is the het ship between Ruby Ortiz and Eddie Long from the Alpha Betas fandom.

This is Alpha Team
Before Alpha Team gets imported into Red Head Intervention for their new mission, Ruby asks everyone except Eddie if they are okay and comfortable. This makes Eddie make a move by saying "Great day to save the world, huh, Ruby?" with everyone else groaning from his attempted flirting. This sets Ruby off as she rudely responds "Yeah, really great Eddie, four years of training at the farm only to find out I'd be spending my days babysitting a group a guys who make sex-dolls of their co-workers." Which breaks down Eddie's confidence, making him embarrassed.

Right after they are imported into the game, Eddie asks "Are you reading it Ruby?" To which Ruby replies, "I have like ten-billion dollars of monitoring equipment, you don't have to speak into your lapel like it's a 90's spy movie, Eddie.", immediately making Eddie embarrassed and laughed at by his friends, with Buck even asking him "Man, Eddie, Are you worried thing's might be moving a bit fast with Ruby?" To which, Eddie gets pissed about afterwards.

Later, when the Alpha Team finally gets info about why there is no one in the game from a sex worker, Eddie says "Ruby, are you getting this?" And when Ruby replies "Let me check the two-trillion dollar immersion rig, uh yeah! I'm getting it!" Eddie gets, once again, upset at the tone of response and looks down.

When Tommy kills an enemy who sabotages the train they are riding to a fortress with a shovel, he makes a joke whilst killing him, saying, "Can you dig it?!" This makes Ruby laugh and compliments him on it. Eddie overhears this and yells, asking why she's nice to everyone else except him. Which results in Ruby yelling at him, saying to keep his arrogant mouth off the voice channel.

When Eddie is the only one standing when fighting with Two Buck Chuck, he struggles the urge to shoot him, due to TBC using a sex worker as a shield to block him from getting him. This then results to everyone telling him to just shoot him, even making Ruby say "Eddie, I don't care if you kill a fake hooker!"

After Eddie manages to defeat Two Buck Chuck without hurting the sex worker (and without touching the floor), Ruby is slightly annoyed at his antics, even saying "You risked the whole mission, just to save a digital prostitute?" with Eddie replying "It was the right thing to do, and that, Ruby, Is what makes us Alpha Team". After Tommy and Mason make fun of his antics, Ruby smiles, sighs and tells Eddie "Pretty good day to save the world, huh, Eddie?", to which Eddie replies "Yeah, Ruby, Yeah It was", but the moment is immediately ruined when Buck interrupts it by yelling at them saying there is a giant hole in his tiny legs and that he needs to get out of the game.

One of Us is Getting Cancelled!
When Eddie and Ruby reunite in The Energy Division after 18 months, Ruby is shocked to see him more different and shocked at his appearance, she then asks Eddie if she saw him eating trash outside of a Best Buy a week before, to which Eddie replies "It better have been me, that trash can is MY territory!", sounding as if he got over his crush on her in those 18 months, at first.

Moments later, as Ruby is walking Alpha Team to the Immersion Rig room, she asks Eddie if he's okay, to which he replies "Of course! I finally have something to look forward too", to which he's referring to his revenge on Allison.

The Zombie Deathrun
Eddie and Ruby don't interact much, the only time they interact is when Eddie asks if they all are headed the right way in the zombie mansion, Ruby gives him the information, saying that they should be passing a long hallway, flight of stairs and getting to the main ballroom where the portal to the next game is at.

The Filthy Password
When Ruby asks Eddie to stop "hogging" the voice channel so she can listen to Captain Whaler (due to Ruby being attracted to Whaler at the time), Whaler asks if Ruby is single, to which Eddie shoots him in the head out of jealousy.

One Last Mission
After Alpha Team finish their mission and are let go by Allison, Eddie pulls Ruby aside to talk to her, as it looks like he's about to confess how he feels about her, until he gives up and tells her "Nothing. Forget it.", Ruby looks down upset and before walking away, says that if he changes his mind and that his Top-secret clearance ends at midnight, as Ruby walks away, Eddie looks sad until the moment is interrupted by Buck saying "Oh, dude has no problem killing Captain Whaler on cold-blood, but he can't tell Ruby ONE TIME that he--" until Eddie tells him to shut up.

When Alpha Team are in a stand-off with Allison, Ruby and Stephen, Ruby tells Eddie that she thought he loved Alpha Team, Eddie says he did, but all it brought him in return was pain, Ruby says that they only became best friends because of Alpha Team, when Eddie said they "used" to be best friends, Ruby gives him a look and Eddie tells him not to look at him like that and says that the CIA are the bad guys, not them, Ruby agrees but tells him that no matter what, they all are trying to make a difference, after Alpha Team make their decision and kill the Alien Boss, Eddie explains that Ruby is right about Alpha Team and him.

Moments Later, Eddie says he only has one thing left to do, he then proceeds walks towards Ruby and lean towards her before Ruby stops him and asks if he was going to kiss her, Eddie admits it and says that he was gonna try to, and then asks how she knew, Ruby explains how the rest of Alpha Team have been teasing him about it for the last three days, Ruby then asks how many times they have to remind them that they can hear everything they say in missions, Eddie proceeds to apologize, until Ruby walks close to him and kisses him on the cheek, leaving him speechless and frozen, Ruby afterward says to him to get back to work, as the world doesn't save itself, as she walks away, Eddie smiles and blushes, feeling happy about the kiss.

Mockumentary
When Eddie is doing his interview for The Energy Division documentary, he is interrupted by HR Director, Shukri Roy, Shukri informs him that she received his request to move his office to the east wing, or "As close to Ruby as possible" In Eddie's own words, Eddie tries to change the subject until Shukri interrupts him again, asking if him and Ruby are dating, to which he responds with "No", Shukri says that if they are, they'd have to report it to Human Resources, Eddie tells her that he thought it would be a nice surprise to move his desks close to Ruby's without her knowing or having her consent to do so, to which Shukri informs him that type of action is a form of "harassment", Eddie shoo's her away and tells her that they can talk later about it.

Fanon
The pair started after the events of the Pilot, where it was revealed that Eddie had a not-so-secret crush on Ruby, with Ruby trying to dismiss it and seeming like she didn't reciprocate those feelings, the pair only started gaining more attention and popularity after "One Last Mission", where Ruby finally kissed Eddie on the cheek, many fans reacted to it positively and many wanted a full lip-kiss, but others say that a cheek-kiss is just a start.

Ruddie is the rivalry ship to Rubison and other ships with Eddie, such as Poly Team.
