Here, have some Yang and Neo trash, made right after I woke up because of this dream I had. Enjoy

I'm not sure whether to count today as a good day or a bad day but it was definitely eventful.
It started out okay enough, though I might just be saying that since I'm used to what I woke up to. I woke up at my apartment maybe a few minutes after dawn. There was this little gap between the curtains that was just big enough to let a tiny sliver of light pass through. That stupid tiny sliver is the reason I can't stay asleep later than six in the morning. How unlucky can I be that the sun always - ALWAYS - ends up being in just the right angle to shoot a beam of light through a half inch curtain gap, on a window half a room away, straight into my fucking eyes?
Whatever. I got up and went to the kitchen, hoping a good old cup-o-joe would be enough to lighten my mood. I chugged down an entire mug of boiling hot coffee, ignoring my burning throat.
"Morning, Yang!" Ruby chimed.
Ruby was an energetic girl. Probably the only girl I knew who you could wake up at any point in the night and it would still be like she had an entire eight hours of it. Believe me, I know from experience. This one time, I came home late from work and Ruby was sound asleep in her room. I decided to make myself a midnight snack and the next thing I knew, Ruby was awake, in the kitchen, helping me make sandwiches.
Anyway, Ruby's hair was wet - she probably had just taken a bath - and she was wearing her Signal uniform. By the looks of it, she was ready to go to school. Which was sorta weird to me.
"Morning, Ruby" I returned her greeting with half the enthusiasm that I had received - seriously, it's too early and the caffeine hasn't kicked in yet. "Isn't it a holiday today? Some sort of anniversary day?" I asked her.
With quiet giggle, Ruby put some bread into the toaster. "Yang, I'm still in high school, remember? Signal's foundation day is still months away"
I refilled on my coffee downed another mug before giving my confused 'Huh' in reply.
I forgot about that. Beacon and Signal were partner schools but they weren't founded on the same day. I still think it's unfair. Us college kids have a lot more free time than the high schoolers. Well, some of us do. Most of the time we either have to juggle a lot of home work and part time jobs, kinda like me but others have all the time in the world, either because they're lazy fucks who don't care or they're literally geniuses. Beacon has a lot of both kinds of students actually. But still, Ruby and everyone else at Signal have eight hours of school for five days a week, coupled with a lot of homework. It isn't exactly as stressful as taking care of studies and living expenses at the same time but still, it isn't something I want to force on her any time soon.
With a pop of the toaster, Ruby grabbed the bread and quickly tore through one of the slices. It was gone in seconds "Well, see you later, Yang. I'm off!" She said putting the other piece of toast in her mouth and picking up her bag.
"Stay safe. If you run out of lunch money, borrow some from uncle Qrow. I'll be the one to pay him back"
Ruby made a noise - I think it was 'Will do' but with bread still in her mouth - before leaving the apartment, door quietly clicking closed.
With a quiet sigh, I took another two slices of bread and put them in the toaster. I had the feeling it would be a long day. I wasn't exactly wrong.

I walked the streets of Vale, hoping to find something that interested me. I didn't really go out much unless I was with my friends or if it was to go to work so I didn't really have a good idea about where the 'ideal' places to hang out were.
So, I sat on a bench in front of a corner shop in the middle of the commercial district, thinking hard on which direction I should take to have a good time. North brought me to the mall, east brought me to the restaurants and supplies shops near Beacon, west brought me to some of the nicer but more expensive parts of town, and south brought me back home. It wasn't a hard decision to make but it was something I wasn't really keen on making.
What would Blake do? I asked myself.
Blake was one of my first friends at Beacon, well first new friends. She's a pretty quiet and bookish girl. Probably wouldn't ever have become friends with her if our awkward first meeting didn't end with me pummeling the living daylights out of this bear of a man for defiling my hair and Blake knocking out his friend with a well placed chop to the neck before I could attack him as well. I don't know how we got so close after that, but she eventually became my best friend.
I'm pretty sure she would suggest I go to the library today if I asked her. I would reply that going there would be the most boring thing I could ever do and she would probably roll her eyes and chuckle at my response. It was a bit unlucky that almost none of our interests matched.
Which is weird, since a lot of things interest me. At least that's what I think. Sure I technically haven't done most of the things that interest me but I'm always willing to try. And if we're talking technicality, I'm technically not financially equipped for a lot of the stuff I want to do. The few times I did have enough money is probably the times my friend Weiss was paying for it - meaning it was basically free since she's rich and 'A Schnee never shares the bill'.
Come to think of it, Weiss is ALSO one of my close friends that I met at Beacon. I don't quite remember how and why we became friends though. You'd think I'd remember the reason I got to know a midget loaded with enough cash and bottled up anger that she'd throw money at me and it was a large enough sum to hurt. The weird thing is, she's closer friends with Ruby... and come to think of it, how did she and Ruby meet anyway...?
I shook my head, dazed. I was probably sitting on that bench for a good half hour. Totally unlike me, to be honest. I'm normally really restless and impulsive. And yet, there I was sitting down and thinking things through - and of all the reasons, it was because I was bored and wanted something to do. What the hell was I doing?
With a sigh,I stood and decided to just wander around. There was no use just sitting there and twiddling my thumbs so I picked a random direction and walked.

I was being followed.
Since I left the bench, this really short girl with an umbrella kept following me - If I had to give some other details it would be that she was wearing a lot of pink.
I first noticed her a few minutes after standing up and walking. I didn't know what she wanted but something about the way she moved made me wary. It was like she wasn't even there but every time I thought she was gone, I realized that she's just a few blocks behind, just hidden by all the other pedestrians walking in front of her.
Actually, now that I think about it, I'm really tall - not to mention I had bright yellow hair. She could probably spot me in a cloud from several blocks away.
Well, that explained how she managed to follow me all across the city for an hour. Now the question is why. Deciding enough was enough, I swerved into an alley and waited for her to show up. I know it was stupid. What if she was armed with a gun or something, right? Well, I didn't think it all the way through. All I knew was that I was bigger than her and figured I could handle anything she could dish out.
Sure enough she entered the alley, and she was casual about it. It was like she wasn't even hiding the fact that she was following me. I got a better look at her. She had mostly pink hair but a good chunk was dark purple. She was wearing a pale pink long coat, brown pants and white knee high boots. The way she looked reminded me of ice cream somehow
I saw my opportunity to confront her and took it. I walked out of my hiding place behind the really big stack of cardboard boxes and faced her.
"Why are you following me!?" I asked. I looked her in the eyes and she looked back at me and smirked. Who does that? Was she trying to creep me out? It wasn't working. It was only making me angrier. "Don't fuck with me. Talk! Why were you following me!?"
She closed her eyes and slowly shook her head, her shoulders rhythmically jerking back. Was she... was she laughing at me? Oh my god she was. Okay, I just about had it at that point. I was a split second away from throwing a punch and knocking her out when she suddenly pulled something out of her pocket. It was my wallet... well... this is embarrassing...
I snatched it out of her hand before checking the amount of money inside it. Not a single lien was missing. "Did I... did I drop this...?" I asked her. The smirk remained as she nodded. Amazing. I dropped my wallet and yelled at the person who gave it back to me. Talk about bad first impressions.
"Hey, uh... sorry about that... thought you were... I don't know, some sort of psycho who was stalking me... hehe...heh..." That was one of the most awkward and insincere sounding apologies I've ever given. "Right. Sorry for shouting, but you kinda had it coming. Why didn't you just call out to me?"
She frowned and looked away. I tilted my head curiously. "Are you... are you mute or something?" She fidgeted before looking back at me with a somewhat nervous smile. "Oh..." I didn't say anything else after that. You could say I was speechless that she was speechless.
Wow. It wasn't even nine yet at that point. It was definitely a long day...

I plan for this story to have around five chapters. Let's see how long I can stretch a single day of these two spending time with each other. 8:48 AM
