Day 1 of RWBY relationship week! I posted these on Tumblr already, but thought that I would put them up here, as well. If anyone is unfamiliar with the concept, it's a week of random pairings you 'roll' using an online generator. You then write a story, draw a picture, create something, using those characters.

I rolled Glynda and Penny for Day 1. I was also out of town (excuse!) but this is what I came up with. Enjoy this random drabble!

Oh, and I don't own and will continue to not own RWBY for the rest of my life.


Glynda strode towards the wide, open hall of Beacon's main entrance after a quick patrol around the edge of the grounds. She normally went on 3-4 loops around the large campus each day searching for trouble, which could come in the form of either Grimm or students.

Thankfully, all was quiet on this chilly weekend morning. Most of the students were likely visiting home for the weekend or still asleep after a 'hard' week of classes. If only they knew what the coursework had been like when she been in school...

Still, this early in the morning she had expected the grand lobby to be completely empty when she stepped back inside. Instead, she was shocked to find a young girl patiently standing there, back turned towards her.

The girl had short orange hair that fell in a bob. Her white and green outfit made her look somewhat childish, as did the way she rocked backwards and forwards on her feet as she stood in place, gazing down one of the hallways.

Glynda wracked her mind, but couldn't recall ever having seen this girl before.

"Excuse me," she called out as she approached the stranger.

The girl turned towards her, not looking surprised to find Glynda right behind her.

"Good morning!" she replied politely, waving her hand to go along with her words.

Seeing the girl's face, Glynda was now positive that she had never seen her before. And she didn't much enjoy the idea of strangers waltzing into Beacon whenever they saw fit.

"Do you go to school here?" she asked authoritatively.

The girl shook her head.

"No, I'm just waiting for my friend so we can go into Vale today."

Glynda narrowed her eyes a fraction of an inch.

"Who is this friend of yours?" she demanded to know.

The way in which the girl had said the word 'friend' made her seriously doubt that it was the truth. Glynda could feel herself tensing as her mind stumbled through hundreds of worst case scenarios.

"Ruby Rose!"

"Oh."

The situation instantly diffused.

Of course Ruby would be friends with an oddball like this one. The young girl was about as discerning with her choice of friends as a starving man given access to a buffet. It was an admirable quality to have, but Glynda often worried that Ruby would become friends with the wrong type of people without evening realizing it.

Glynda quickly recovered though, realizing that the girl was still looking at her intently.

"That's great to hear. Have you and Ruby been friends for long?" she asked politely.

The orange haired girl shook her head again.

"Not for very long, but I think we're good friends. She once let me throw her into a dumpster!"

Glynda blinked as the girl beamed at her in pride.

A wave of air blew across them at that second, announcing the imminent arrival of the friend under discussion. The young girl in red skidded to a halt beside them an instant later.

"Good morning, Friend Ruby!" the strange girl greeted happily.

"Good morning, Penny," Ruby replied with a smile before her gaze fell upon Glynda.

"Ruby..." Glynda began sternly, "what did we just discuss about using your semblance in the halls?"

The brunette looked down to the ground as she shuffled her feet. Penny watched the girl's behavior curiously.

"You said... Uh... Do it?"

Glynda let out a tired sigh. Sometimes, she didn't know why she even tried with these children.

"You girls be safe in Vale today," she said, overlooking Ruby's lack of following directions for the time being.

"We will!" Ruby replied, both girls nodding their heads enthusiastically. "Come on, Penny, let's go."

As Ruby tugged Penny quickly towards the doors, the girl gave Glynda one last radiant smile.

"It was very nice to meet you, Professor Goodwitch!"

Glynda frowned as they disappeared outside.

She didn't remember ever giving the girl her name.
