Author note:

Hey, everyone! I know this is random, and I'm new to this kind of stuff, so I'm open to criticism. I'm going to try to write a fanfiction on RWBY, an amazing show that I've been addicted to. But...it's going to be a little different. I was inspired by the '100 Words of the Wizarding World' by JoeMerl. I decided to do my own RWBY way, using a quote and making up a story for it. Now enough chatter! Let's begin!

WARNING! These short stories contain spoilers from RWBY.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters, the names, stories, etc. (they belong to the amazing Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum).

"Boop." - a quote that Nora uses to show affection towards Ren. This is also the name of one of the RWBY songs.

Nora Valkyrie, Volume 1, Chapter 6, 'The Emerald Forest'

Ren felt extremely exhausted, but he wouldn't complain. Even though they were on the road and food was scarce, he had her by his side. She became more confident and happy during the past year. They were resting near the road by a tree that provided a small area of shade over him. It would've been a calming and nice rest, but it began raining. Ren looked up at the dark sky and took his dark brown jacket off, covering the both of them.

Nora had become the little sister that he had never had. He cared for her, watched out for her, and sometimes she did the same. She knew how to survive on the streets and many other things that he would take years to learn. Now they were together, their backs to the rough bark, sitting next to each other to keep warm in the cold wind.

"You okay?" he asked her.

"Yeah," she replied, smiling at him. "I've got you here."

He grinned a little back at her. He tucked in his legs as the rain began blowing towards them slightly. The jacket was thankfully waterproof, and the tree provided enough shelter. Though everything was peaceful and quiet, it reminded him of a day he had spent with Mother.

"Mother, Mother, look!"

She laughed. "What is it, little Lie?"
"Water is falling from the sky!" He jumped up and down, looking through the window.

"Ah, yes." She came over and put her arm around him.

"Can I go outside to play in the water?" He asked.

"Oh no, darling," Mother said, patting his head. "I'm sorry. The water is cold, and you'll get sick."
"Hey, Ren?" Nora's quiet voice interrupted his thoughts. He turned his head to her.

As the rain peacefully patted on the jacket, she reached her small hand up.

"Boop," she said, poking him gently on the nose.
