"I'm simply stating that the technology is an immense breakthrough in extracting dust crystals which as huntresses in training we should be fully aware of…."
Yang rolled her eyes at Weiss, clearly unimpressed "it's a giant magnet that attracts rock"
"it's far more than that I have you know" giving yang a sharp glare
Ruby continued to watch as the conversation slowly sapped her of her energy leaving her an exhausted heap on the canteen table. She understood Weiss's excitement, more dust was always a useful thing for everyone, but they certainly didn't need an explanation on how the machine worked. Ruby furrowed her brow, something on attracting and rearranging rocks using dust….
Glancing out across the bustling canteen ruby watched as people joked and ate lunch as they did every day. Team JNRP sat close by on the table next to them, Nora turning her mashed potatoes into a fort while ren scolded her, Blake reading her latest book, jaune and Pyrrha was discussing tactics, all so much more interesting than what she was doing.
"aaaaaaahh" ruby pushed her head into her arms, she was just so BORED. No missions, no new games, no new books, stuck listening to Weiss yammer on, wasn't there anything going on?
Emotional fed ruby got up sluggishly "I'm going for a walk, need to stretch my legs" voice lacking all energy
"NO! ruby don't leave me here with her! I fear my brains will melt if I have to listen to another word of this!" yang said mockingly, her hand on her chest in a dramatic manner
"you should be grateful you brute, you clearly need the education from what I can tell" Weiss huffed
"oh, really, whys that?" yang's tone becoming low and dangerous
Deciding now was a good time to leave ruby made her way quickly out of the canteen as tensions began to rise. Making her way through the halls of beacon the large crowds began to dwindle until she was all but alone.
Ruby glanced around aimlessly, searching for something to amuse her. Empty classrooms, empty halls, metal knights, wooden floors, white rabbits playing with fire extinguishers…
Ruby froze
Wait? What?
Slowly turning around ruby was met with the most bizarre site of her life of three white looking rabbits tinkering with what appeared to be a shopping trolley and some fir extinguishers.
"bwah bwah, bwah bwah!" one stood proudly on the trolley, waving his arms wilding he made gesturing motions to the other fire extinguisher laying on the floor, indicating more was needed than there already was.
"bwah bwah bwah" the other two rolling their eyes as they continued to do most of the work unhappily
Slowly the cogs in ruby's mind began to turn
Her face began to lighten up instantly and her body began to fill with all her lost energy, there was somebody new and to top it off where making something that looked like it was a lot of fun.
She needed to be a part of this, at least it might entertain her for a little while.
"um…. Hey… I'm Ruby, soooo…. who you and what's with the trolley?" ruby asked both curious and excited
Surprised at the sound all three turned around but quickly gave way to fascination upon seeing ruby. They looked at ruby in wonder, staring at her red and black combat outfit in approval but most of all her silver eyes had captivated them almost as much as the moon once had.
"guys?" waving her hand to see if they were okay
Snapping out of there daze the rabbits became highly excitable jumping up and down and pulling on the hem of her dress. Backing up a little at the attention, decided to repeat. her question.
Taking a moment to think the leader replied with "Rabbids" before making driving motions and whooshing noises before pointing at the cart.
Rabbids? Ruby pondered on this for she had never heard of a rabbid, maybe they were related to faunas somehow though unlikely looking at them. She'd have to ask Blake later about it. At the moment Ruby further examined the cart figuring there was at least 15 fire extinguishers strapped to the back at of the cart at this point.
Looking at ruby's face scrunched in concentration as she examined the makeshift vehicle, the rabbids could only mistake her expression for one more inclined to displeasure. What they lost in intelligence they made in their emotions and it took them only a moment to make their decision. "BWEH!" waving gently to get her attention gestured for ruby to hop into the cart "bweh" before each of them began to clamber inside.
A smile crossed ruby's face, well that would a lot of fun, something she was craving desperately right now, and it was nice to hang out with some new friends something that was always good.
Weiss wouldn't like it though. Ruby's smile faltering, she was to set an example as leader after all and she didn't want to disappoint her partner. Hesitating for a moment she clambered in, shuffling to the back of the trolley. The rabbids cheered at this and took their positions, the leader hopping onto ruby's lap for a higher posing platform.
One ride to the end of the corridor wouldn't hurt and Weiss would never have to know. Besides she deserved a little fun after all she's done and nothing bad could possibly happen, how fast could they even go? It was only a few fire extinguishers after all!
The rabbid began to hit the device repeatably with its head to ruby's concern but chose to ignore it since she considered this to simply how they were.
That's when all hell broke loose.
Pressure released the cart began to move at such speed it slammed ruby to the back of the cart. Moving at a speed that made even ruby feel both sick and a little fearful the trolley began hurtling down the corridor at break neck speeds. The rabbids held on for dear life while the rest of their body's where flapping in the wind due to the acceleration.
To ruby's horror growing horror she watched as the corridor split into two causing them to hurtle towards the opposite wall.
"no, no, no, no, no!"
At the last second the rabbids tilted the trolley down one of the corridors laughing at every second without a care in the world.
This is amazing! I think I'm going to be sick!
Barrelling down another corridor ruby's eyes widened, as she saw the body of student blocking their path.
Students screamed as they were sent hurtling out the way, some through open windows while others into walls. Panic ensured as people quickly tried to get out of the way of the cart, which was difficult since the rabbids steered the cart from side to side.
Books were thrown into the air at least 3 times and more than a few curses were heard.
Looking back at the chaos she winced to see that the foam from the fire extinguishers had covered far too much of the surrounding area as they passed for her liking. This was not working out as well she had hoped it would.
After almost 15 minutes the cart had run out of gas and was finally beginning to slow down to the annoyance of the rabbids who was making their displeasure known by hitting the cart.
Ruby signed in relief before bursting out into laughter. That was so much fun despite how much trouble she's going to be in, she was sure it would be worth it at this point.
What Ruby didn't know was that headmaster ozpin had heard the ruckus and was out trying to determine the cause of the disturbance. The trolley while slowing down had not yet stopped and as ozpin turned the corner coffee in hand had not expected a trolley with one of his students and three rabbids to gently slam into him.
Ruby could only stare in dread at what happened, not because she had hit the headmaster for, he was a very capable hunter after all and the trolley was not that fast at this point. No, it was the spilt coffee that now anywhere but ozpins coffee mug.
"that was good coffee ruby rose"
Yep, they were definitely screwed now

Ok so this is a new story I'm doing and though it may be somewhat short at points since I do plan on finishing it. There should be, if not now but later on a link to a pic made specifically for each chapter. Feedback is always useful and as such there will be polls posted to ask what I should do better or next.
