It was midnight in Vale, and Ruby had just left the newly reopened "From Dust Till Dawn" shop. Whist walking home, Ruby encountered something sweet and freshly baked in the air. The aroma reached Rubys nose, and she could only come to one conclusion:
"Cookies!" Ruby said out-loud with a crooked smile.
Without thinking, Ruby let her nose lead her through Vale. She finally ends up in a dimly lit alleyway. The streetlight peered down below, lighting a pedestal with a plate full of baked goods. This nefarious setting did not sway Ruby, however.
"mmMMMMmm... Street cookies!" Ruby blurted out. Within a second, she uses her semblance to nab the plate of sweets. Her mouth waters has she takes her first bite. Rubys eyes widen has the warm chocolate chip goodness melts with every bite. Without hesitation, she starts to devour the cookies. Somewhere in the shadows, whispered a "A-HEM."
"AHHH!" yelled the startled red cookie eater.
"Hey listen! I just want to talk!" The voice sounded familiar to Ruby, but it was too altered for her to decipher.
"What do you want?!" Ruby stated, grabbing Crescent Rose in hesitation.
"I have a favor. If you can do it no questions asked, there will be plenty more where that came from." The shadow bargained.
The plate was empty, yet Rubys stomach growled for more. "Well they were good.." Ruby tried to make out the figure hidden in the dark, with no luck. "What would you have me do?"
"Kidnap Blake. Bring her to Yang." The figure stated.
"Uhh... Why?" Ruby asked curiously.
"No questions! Remember?"
"Right! Sorry!" She apologized. "And that's all I have to do?" Ruby whispered into the shadows, Crescent Rose held shakily in her hands. A thought burst into Rubys head!
"Yang.. Is that you?" Ruby questioned.
"Uhh.. I do not know of this 'Yang' person"
"Then why do you want me to bring Blake to Yang?" Furthered questioned the girl in red.
The person in question started to stutter. "Damn it sis."
"I knew it!" Ruby victoriously declared.
Yang steps out of hiding. "So for real. Find a way to trap Blake and get her to me. Its part of a surprise." She declared.
Ruby did not even question the moral gray ambiguity of betraying her poor friend Blakes trust. The promise of more irresistible chocolate chip goodness blurred all senses Rubys good will. "Will do sis!"
