Nothing About

Chapter 1: Have You Heard About the Weather?

"You know, the weather has been nice today."

Weiss scoffed. "Is that really what you want to talk about? The weather?"

Ruby looked affronted as she retorted, "Well I was trying to think of something else to say, but the only thing I could think of was about the weather."

Ruby and Weiss had decided earlier in the week that they would be taking this day to do something unrelated to school. So far that had amounted to walking around Vale.

"So that is why you decided to say it?"

"Yep!"

Weiss couldn't help but smirk at Ruby enthusiasm. While she had a hard time dealing with her at the beginning it was hard to not come to like the scythe user. "I'm not surprised that you could not think of anything better than that. You're too much of a dolt."

"Weiss! That's not nice!"

"I'm sorry but who got us lost? Who said she knew where she was going?"

Ruby turned away and grumbled, "I did."

While she wanted to laugh at the look on Ruby's face, Weiss instead walked over and put a hand on her shoulder. "But you're right. So whenever we find our way back pick somewhere you want to go. I'll pay."

"What? No, you don't have to that Weiss."

"I want to."

Ruby looked to be internally debating the issue for a few seconds before she said, "Fine. But you have to come with me."

"Well of course. I am paying and I'm your partner."

"Awesome!" Ruby shouted. "Now I really think I know where we need to go. That way!" She pointed in a direction off to the side of them.

"We already tried that way a couple of hours ago. That's how we ended back here."

Ruby threw her arms up. "Gah! This would be so much easier if Zwei were here."

"I can't believe Nora took him. What does she even want with him?"

"She said something about training. I know she was also trying to get Oobleck to help them out. I think she wants him to shoot Zwei at Jaune. Zwei enjoys flying so he would gladly go along with it. Especially if Oobleck was also going to be involved. They're friends."

Weiss looked surprised. "What?"

Ruby shrugged in response. "I don't know it happened. All I know is that they enjoy drinking whatever that stuff is. They meet a couple of morning each week."

"I think I'm starting to lose it from being lost so long," Weiss vacantly stated. "We have got to get back to Beacon. Can't you call Yang on your scroll?"

"Yeah, about that." Ruby sheepishly toed the ground. "I, ah… l left it back at our room."

"Great! Just great! Now what are we going to do?"

"Why don't you use yours?"

A blush graced Weiss' face as she softly said, "I left it in our room."

Ruby, however, still heard her. Triumphantly cheerful she quickly retorted, "Now who's the 'dolt'?"

"You still insisted you knew where you were going and got us lost."

As Ruby tried to come up with a suitable response and failed, Weiss smirked as victory was hers.

And it was sweet.
