Noras Birthday
Chapter One
Nora woke up to the sun shining brightly in her face. "Reeeen close the blinds!" She moaned as she rolled onto her side trying to go back to sleep. "Ren!" She said louder. "Close the blinds!" She heard no response. "Jaune! Pyrrha!" She sat up and looked around. "Anybody?" She got out of bed and was about to walk out of the room when she saw a note on the door in Rens handwriting.
" Good morning Nora! Happy birthday I have something special planned for you today. You have to follow a set of clues to get your gift and to not ruin the surprise none of them are allowed to read any of the clues until you read the one they were assigned. Have fun. Clue #1: My name is a red gem."
Nora blushed as she looked at the note. "Aw Ren you're so sweet." She thought of how Ren was the only person who could make her blush. She continued to look at the clue for a couple of seconds thinking of what he meant and it finally came to her. "OH! He must mean Ruby!" Nora opened the door and skipped out into the hall towards the lunchroom not caring if she was in her pajamas or not.
When she finally arrived to the lunchroom she found Ruby sitting down with a plate of cookies and a glass of milk. She got the best idea and started to sneak up behind Ruby trying to be as quiet as possible until she was right behind her. Ruby bit into a cookie just as Nora shouted..."HI RUBY!" Ruby started to hack and cough up bits of cookie. "NORA" -cough-"WHAT"-cough-cough-"THE"-cough-. Nora took the glass of milk and gave it to Ruby. "Oh my gosh sorry Ruby. I found a note with a clue on it from Ren and it led me to you." Ruby grabbed and drained the milk and took a couple of deep breaths. "Yeah here you go ." Ruby reached into her pocket and pulled out the second note. Ruby handed the note to Nora. "Happy birthday and word of advise don't sneak up behind someone and yell. You could get yourself killed" Nora grabbed the note. "Thanks!" Nora opened it and read it. "I gotta go bye!" Nora took off running. Ruby yelled after her "What does it say?" Nora didn't slow down but shouted instead. " It said "I'm the queen of this cold castle!" Now I have to go find Weiss!"
Ruby got up and ran after her "Hey wait up!" "Nora STOP!" Nora came to a skidding stop leaving marks on the floor. She turned and faced Ruby "What is it" Ruby ran up next to her. " When you find Weiss give her this." Ruby reached into her pocket and pulled out a small box wrapped in white paper with a red bow tied on top. Nora stared at it in amazement. "Ok, what is it?" Nora tried to grab it but Ruby pulled it out of her reach. "Hey, Ruby let me see!" Nora tried to grab it one more time but Ruby did the same thing. Ruby looked Nora in the eyes. "Nora listen to me. Be very VERY careful with this. Do you understand?" Nora stepped back and saluted her. "You can count on me, Ruby!" Ruby looked at her for a while and finally gave it to her slowly. "OK, you can go now but be careful!" Nora started to run down the hall "Bye Ruby!" Ruby shouted after her "BE VERY CAREFUL!"
