Ruby sat on deck, leaning back on the short railing, ready to hurl. The boat swayed on the water of the large lake, and Ruby was surprised it wasn't frozen based on the cold air running over her bare arms. Weiss had insisted in dragging Ruby up to Atlas during spring break and taking her out on the Schnee family sailboat.
"Just when you think she couldn't get richer...she shows up on a sailboat...with a motor..." Ruby grumbled, groaning softly, trying to ignore the rocking of the boat as Weiss drove it out towards the middle of the lake.
She leaned on the railing and groaned softly as Weiss finally turned off the motor. Ruby groaned and took a deep breath and looked up...she'd focus on the unmoving horizon, like Yang told her, but the horizon was full of nice tall uneven pine trees.
Weiss walked up to her hunched over girlfriend and put a hand on her shoulder. "Ruby? Are you okay?" she asked worriedly.
Ruby instantly straightened up and took a deep breath. She was not going to look like a coward in front of the fencing heiress. "I'm fine I'm fine."
Weiss nodded and started towards the small mast. "Well, do you mind helping with this?"
Ruby shakily nodded, rubbing her arms as she regretted leaving her precious hoodie back in the house by the lake. Weiss looked back and laughed. "I told you to grab Yang's jacket."
"Its too big..." Ruby grumbled.
"Well come here and grab the large white rope," Weiss instructed, pointing to a rope at her feet.
Ruby sighed and nodded. She approached Weiss, though, she only got a few steps forward before she felt something loop around her ankle. Her eyes went wide as her foot caught a rope laying on the wooden boards and her body lurched forward.
She twisted and tried to land on her side, just on habit. But the first thing she ran into wasn't wood...but a body. She knocked Weiss to the side and watched as the white-haired girl stumbled backward...and over the edge of the railing.
Ruby quickly scrambled to her feet and leaned over the edge. "Sorry."
Weiss looked up, her ice blue eyes hard and angry. She managed to scramble up, grabbing the railing and pulling herself up. Then she latched on to Ruby and pulled her down into the water. "If I'm getting wet so are you!" she snapped.
Ruby yelped and jumped when she hit the cold water and she clung to edge Weiss, shivering. Though as she got control of herself she started laughing, Weiss not far behind.
