just recently i read a book about Mary Tudor and how she was trying to be queen of England. I know Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded by Elizabeth the first. And at the end of the book, Mary Tudor was hugging Elizabeth the First and saying she loved her. bu that later on she would become her worst enemy. My main question is, are these two people(mary Queen of Scots and Mary Tudor) the same person?

No--they were not the same, but they were related. Mary Tudor was the older half sister of Queen Elizabeth I. Mary, Queen of Scots was their cousin--her mother was sister to Henry VIII--Elizabeth and Mary Tudor's father. As far as the relationship between Mary Tudor and Elizabeth goes, they were siblings, but there was rivalry for the throne. Even though Mary, as eldest, was entitled to inherit first, a lot of people didn't want her because she was a staunch Roman Catholic. They would have preferred Elizabeth, so for a while, Elizabeth's life was in danger from her sister. Eventually, Mary did take the throne. She held it for five years, and earned the name "Bloody Mary" because she burned anyone who didn't adapt to her religion. After her death, Elizabeth took the throne as Queen Elizabeth I.

No, they are not the same person.
Mary Tudor went on to become the Queen of England, but she always lived in fear Elizabeth (or her supporters) would take the throne by force.
When Mary's father divorced her mother, Henry had Elizabeth with Anne Boleyn and May went from being the heir to the throne to being Henry's illegitimate daughter, while Elizabeth took her place. Then, Mary was forced to wait on Elizabeth as lady-in-waiting.
Throughout Henry's many marriages, both Mary & Elizabeth's positions were constantly threatened. As sisters, they loved one another, but were constantly aware that each stood in the way of the other's hopes for the throne.
It was a very difficult relationship, to say the least!
Reading the article below at wikipedia might help you understand a bit better.

Mary Tudor was Elizabeth I's older sister. Her mother was Catherine of Aragon and her father, King Henry VIII. Elizabeth and Mary shared the same father. Mary actually wanted Elizabeth dead since Elizabeth's mother, Anne Boleyn, had been the cause of the break-up of her parents. Mary Queen of Scots was Elizabeth I's cousin. Mary was behind a couple of plots to kill Elizabeth I. Elizabeth gave her as many chances as she could, but in the end, had to have her head chopped off. James I, who became king when Elizabeth died, was Mary Queen of Scots' son.
