Ruby
She was in a land of peace, tranquility… and sweets. "Oh great and glorious leader of Sugar Valley, how might we serve you?" a Lemon merengue pie with a large head of messy golden hair asked. "Nothing much, just help Black Licorice with that cookie dough statue of me if you could." The great and powerful Ruby, the Queen of Sugar Valley commanded. "Yes your Majesty, I will assist at once!" The Lemon Merengue pie then launched itself toward the soon to be finished statue gracefully landing on its crust shell while making sure not to dirty its mane of hair on the Pumpernickel roadways. Looking away from her project the Black Licorice somehow smiled at the pie beside her even though she lacked a mouth or any human physical qualities of the sort. Then proceeded to explain what was left to be done for the statue of their great leader.
Satisfied that everything was well in hand Queen Ruby turned away to find her favorite of her sweet companions "Miss Ice cream, it is such a pleasure to see you! What brings you out here? Is it to marvel at this delicious statue?" Ruby curiously regarded Miss Ice cream, "or has something happened back at the palace?" Miss Ice cream sighed "There have been more attacks from the Dark Chocolate wolves on the candies of this land. If this does not stop some may get hurt. Your majesty we require your skills to get rid of these beasts." Queen Ruby sucked in her stomach, puffed out her chest and suddenly her cape caught the non-existent wind and fluttered behind her creating what appeared to be a striking pose as she declared, "Never shall I let my candies come to harm and so I will take up this burden and drive these chocolate beasts back!" Smiling (again without human qualities) Miss Ice cream appeared relieved "Thank you so much your Dunce-ness!" Ruby paused confused, "We truly do appreciate and cherish you and-I swear this girl!" Now the Queen was really confused what was happening to Miss Ice cream? "Just get up, will you?!"
Eyes flying open Ruby found herself face to face with a hand with milky white skin and what looked to be a flick well on its way to its intended target. Flick "Owwwww" Ruby groaned, "You didn't have to do that, did you?" The heiress just stood there in front of her with an angry expression on her face. Uh oh what is Weiss mad about now? She didn't have to wonder for too long when Weiss spoke up, "You know that the entire team is up, right? Your sister and Blake have already gone to the cafeteria for breakfast and left you to me to get up. You know that I have been trying to wake you up for the better part of ten minutes? And what were you muttering about some ice cream or something?" Feeling red rise to her cheeks Ruby jumped out of bed and rushed to the washroom to get dressed but mostly to hide her blush. "Don't take too long in there class starts in a little over half an hour, we won't have time to eat so we must go straight to class to get their on time, and let me tell you that it is not, my fault, we won't be eating this morning."
Ruby stood there on the other side of the door listening to Weiss' rant but not really listening to the words, just her voice which was so beautiful and easy to listen to. Melodic and enchanting as it was Ruby realized she still needed to get ready for the day as at least some of Weiss' rant seeped into her mind. Fifteen minutes later Ruby emerged from the Washroom fully dressed and ready to go.
"Finally." Weiss grumbled "you would think that now that we are in our second year here you would have at least hurried up your morning rituals, but I suppose you get that from Yang. What she does in their every morning for the entire hour she is is beyond me. Then she walks out and is still clutching that hairdry-" "Come on Weiss, now who is making us late?" Ruby chuckled already halfway out of the door while Weiss was still sitting on her bed. Quickly Weiss jumped up blushing she hurriedly speed walked past Ruby towards their class "Come on, we don't have all day!" she cried, speeding away. Grinning Ruby just went after her so as to make it to the class on time.
Weiss
Arriving at Professor Port's class just in time, Weiss took a seat followed closely by Ruby, Who sat down directly beside her. Hoping to get some useful information out of this class for once Weiss prepared herself to write notes on another of Professor Ports obviously exaggerated stories, taking out a pencil and loose-leaf she got to work.
At the end of class Weiss compiled her notes and for some moments seriously considered making all her notes from this class into some form of heroic short story fiction. Then decided against it reasoning she would not get a single one sold.
"Now class, we will be having a Grimm hunt this Thursday," Professor Port announced. "And not the regular Grim hunt, no. This expedition will be splitting up your teams into your partners. While the goal for this hunt will be to find your other team members and report back to beacon, and kill any Grimm you may find in your way." He explained, "Now be prepared for Thursday young Hunters and Huntresses, it will be challenging to even the best of you!"
With that the class was officially over. Hurrying outside Weiss was nearly tackled by Ruby, forcing her to stumble slightly. "You dunce! What was that for?" Weiss asked as she regained her footing. "Oh nothing, I'm just really excited to be going on a Grimm hunt! It will just be you and me against the Grimm fighting and ultimately coming out on top!" Ruby sang triumphantly. "That doesn't explain why you tackled me though, you dunce." Weiss sighed Ruby still wasn't really that grown up even though it had been a year, plenty of time in Weiss' opinion. "Well… I was running to talk to you and…. I kind of slipped and tackled you." Ruby sheepishly looked at her feet rubbing the toe of her boot into the ground as she spoke. Before anything else could be said between the pair, a certain blond brawler and feline ninja showed up.
"So are you guys excited for this hunt or what?" asked Yang who seemed to be grinning from ear to ear, in anticipation for the coming assignment. "You realize this isn't another night on the town with your girlfriend, right? We are going to be fighting for our lives and in the end are being graded or it." Weiss inwardly sighed Ruby and Yang are so much alike so excited to test their merit against the Grimm, or might it be they just want to spend time with their partners? Yang spending time with Blake alone in the forest, one could only imagine what might be happening between those two in that relationship. Then there is Ruby and I in the same position, alone, in the forest. A shiver went up Weiss' spine Why does that thought alone make me shiver with, what? Anticipation? Excitement? Weiss pondered. "Yeah I know me and Kitty are just going to take our time finding you guys after all we don't want to miss the chance to get rid of some Grimm right?" Yang asked seeming to direct the question at her partner recently turned girlfriend, Blake. "Well, even though taking out Grimm is our secondary objective, I don't see we can't have some fun before completing our primary objective." Blake said with a small grin plastered onto her face. "That's my Kitty! Anyways I think we will be heading out we need to prepare for that Hunt tomorrow right? So we should probably get some beauty sleep." Grimacing Weiss knew what they had meant by that exchange but deciding to play along she replied "Yes that would probably be a wise course of action since they start quite early if I can recall." "Awesome! That is that then. TEAM RWBY, TO SLEEP!" Ruby declared to what seemed all of Beacon.
Sighing Weiss followed their leader and the bumblebee couple towards their dorm. I wonder if anyone else normal was stuck onto a team of lunatics like she was, then remembered Ren on team JNPR and decided that she wasn't the only one in this plight.
As they walked to their dorm they heard a growl from what appeared to be Ruby's Stomach. "How about grabbing some food before going to sleep?" Ruby asked her team as another growl resonated from within Ruby's gut "Fine you dunce, Lets go get something to eat before heading to bed." Weiss grabbed Ruby's hand and dragged her towards the cafeteria leaving a sniggering Yang and Blake behind to go back to the dorm and get ready for bed.
Weiss withdrew her hand from Ruby's once she started to follow Weiss on her own. Weiss instantly disliked the lack of warmth the separation entailed, but inwardly grimaced at herself and kept walking.
Once they had finished eating they went back to their dorm room to find Yang and Blake curled up on Yang's bed. Barely giving this a second thought the two quickly changed and went to their respective beds. Weiss nervously glanced up at the swing of the bed above her as Ruby hopped up onto it, which slowly steadied itself as she settled down. She was still marveling at the fact that after so long the bed had not come down and killed her in her sleep yet. Though Weiss had something else on her mind right then which did not have to do with that uncertain deathtrap of a bed.
"Ruby, aren't you at least slightly nervous for this outing? If not for the dangers associated but for our marks?" Weiss whispered to Ruby. "Nope." Ruby confidently whispered back. "What do you mean "Nope"?" The heiress questioningly whispered. "Well, I don't need to worry about any of that stuff, I have the best partner ever backing me up and I know that nothing could ever happen as long as you're there with me." Ruby happily replied. "Oh, well thank you, Goodnight Ruby" Weiss quickly stammered. Then proceeded to blush furiously as she tried to close her eyes willing herself to fall asleep. Did she really mean that? How could she have so much faith in me? When all I do is insult her and scrutinize her. Sleep would not come easily for Weiss that night as she tried to push these thoughts away to no avail.
Above her Ruby imply whispered a "Goodnight Weiss" and closed her eyes returning to the land of dreams she had woken from that morning. Not having so much as one worry in the world.
