Distant Memories Chapter 1: The Beginning Of Everything
Beacon Medical Center: Room 0
Beep Beep Beep
"Professor, What do we do about this?" A middle aged women with blonde hair stared down at the unconscious teen in the bed.
"What can we do, Miss Goodwitch?" Said a tall middle aged man with light gray hair,taking a sip of coffee from his cup.
"He is clearly in stable condition. I say we let him be. He needs his rest."
"But, Ozpin! We can't just let a random stranger we found half dead in the middle of the Emerald Forest, here inside the walls of this school!" Goodwitch snapped.
"Miss Goodwitch," in a comforting tone. "I can assure you, this 'random stranger' will not be a problem to the students or the academy." Ozpin said trying to reassure Goodwitch.
"But...How do you know?" Goodwitch sighed in mid sentence, "I just don't understand why we have to keep him here in the medical wing of the school. Why not a regular hospital?" she said worrying about the safety of others in the school.
"Because he will be safe here. Also…" he paused "He's..."
BANG!
"WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO CHILDISH? YOU COMPLETE DOLT!"
"I SAID I'M SORRY, PRINCESS!"
Professor Ozpin was interrupted with a loud slam of doors and two girls walking in and shouting their lungs out at each other.
"Not again," Ozpin thought sighing and taking another sip of coffee.
"Miss Rose and Miss Schnee." Both Ruby and Weiss stopped and turned their heads like they had just been caught committing a crime.
"Yes, Professor Ozpin?" They said in unison.
"What is the problem now?" He asked as he rubbed the bridge of his nose. The two girls
looked at each other then back at Ozpin, and again in unison they spoke.
"SHE'S SO INFURIATING!"
"ME?!"
"YES, YOU!"
"STOP COPYING ME!"
"NO, YOU!"
"GIRLS!"
The two girls stopped and once again looked back at Ozpin and lowered their heads in shame. "Sorry, Professor Ozpin."
Ozpin sighed, "Now. What's the problem this time?" The two girls looked back up and opened their mouths at the same time. But before words could come out, they were stopped with the raise of a hand.
"Op op op, One at a time," he pointed to Ruby and spoke.
"Miss Rose, you first."
Ruby took a step forward and spoke.
"Well...you see what happened was..."
An Hour Before: TEAM RWBY'S DORM
"Red Like roses fills my head with dreams..." Ruby sang as she was fixing her beloved Scythe slash sniper Ruby named, Crescent Rose, for it was damaged from sparring with her lovable ursa of a sister.
"Dust damnit, Yang. Why did you have to shoot Crescent Rose right on the spring loaded socket number 7-3AB?" she asked with a pout.
"Sorry Rubes. But Miss Goodwitch did say to turn at a 90 degree angle when trying to attack like that with Crescent Rose. It wouldn't have happened if you'd just listen to her." The blonde bombshell ruffled Ruby's hair and pulled out her wallet knowing that Ruby was still upset.
"Look, Ruby, I'm sorry, so here's some lien. Go buy some parts for Crescent Rose okay?" Yang took out a few lien and handed it to Ruby then started for the door
"Okay fine." Ruby said happily with her signature puppy dog look. Then she tilted her head.
"But where are you going?"
Yang stopped and turned nervously towards her little sister.
"Well...um...I...Sorta...have...ta..."
Yang nervously slid her fingers through her silky golden main, grumbling the last part of her sentence.
"What?" Ruby said not understanding her sister.
Now Yang was even more flustered.
"I was going to...as...ot...blak...today."
said Yang, still grumbling her words.
But that upset Ruby. Not knowing made Ruby a little unstable, like the last Christmas party, Ruby Not knowing what her present was… let's just say it didn't end well. For any of the students at Signal.
"Yang...Don't hide anything from me. Remember what happened last Christmas!?" Ruby, having enough of her sister's mumbled words.
Yang plopped to the floor in surrender and yelled.
"I SAID I WAS GOING TO ASK OUT BLAKE TODAY, OKAY?!" Yang shouted loudly enough so the whole Academy could hear, leaving Ruby speechless.
"Yang, I...well...I never knew, Sis." Ruby plopped onto the bed and blushed with guilt to see her older sister start to pout with embarrassment.
After a few minutes of letting Ruby process this new information, Yang decided to break the awkward silence that filled the room.
"Soooo, how you adjusting to this Rubes?" Yang tilted her head to see Ruby's face but couldn't. Ruby's head was face down, and a eerie feeling filled the room.
"Uh...Ruby?" Yang felt the eerie feeling and was scared to speak.
Ruby had the look that could terrify a flock of Nevermore. Suddenly Ruby jumped up startling Yang, who was now in a crushing bear hug, which was surprisingly as strong as Yang's
"Okay...Rubes...Let go." The blonde bombshell gasped for air, but was relieved that her little sister accepted the new info about herself.
"I'm glad you trust me enough to tell me, Yang." Ruby said with another one of her signature puppy dog face.
"So when did you find out?" Ruby said letting the curiosity get the best of her.
"What do you mean, Ruby? That's a very vague question."
"I mean, when did you find out you like Blake?" innocent little Ruby asked almost desperately wanted to know. Yang was a bit taken aback at the question.
"Oh...well, remember a few weeks ago when we found out Blakey was a faunus?"
"Yeah!" Ruby eagerly leaned forward.
"Well… about then I started to feel really weird every time I was around her. So I did some soul searching and… well I found out I liked her in that kinda way." Yang said excitedly, but then her voice became grave again.
"But the only thing is…" She stopped and started to tear up. Ruby sat next to her sister who was now crying. Ruby patted her back trying to comfort her.
Yang looked back up with puffy eyes and opened her mouth to speak.
"It's just that, I don't know if Blake is into girls like me. or even if she likes girl for that manner." Then she plopped down and cried on Ruby's dog pillow.
Feeling bad for her sister Ruby stood up, grabbed her scroll, and left the dorm to give her sister some time to cool down.
Hmm I wonder? Ruby thought to herself as she headed toward the school's library.
Present Time: BEACON MEDICAL CENTER
"Then I started to walk over to the library," Ruby said happily.
"Wait? So why are you two arguing?" Ozpin was confused about the situation. Then the girl in white butted in.
"This is where I come in." she said with confidence. Then Ruby stuck her tongue out at Weiss.
"OH HUSH!" Weiss was annoyed with Ruby's childish antics.
An Hour before: BEACON LIBRARY
"No, no, no, NO!" Weiss yelled at her useless pile of books.
"SHHH!" The librarian shushed the frustrated Weiss.
"Sorry" she said hanging her head down in shame.
Picking her head up, looking back at the books. angrily.
"Son-of-a-Dust. Why does it have to be so difficult to find it in this place?" crossing her arms.
Suddenly, she heard distant screaming. She tried to listen to see if she could catch the shouting again, but all she heard was silence.
Sigh. Probably nothing. She thought, giving up on the sound.
FROM SHADOWS...WE'LL DESCEND UPON THE WORLD...TAKE BACK WHAT YOU STOLE...
Weiss's scroll went off. Aggravated, but knowing the ringtone. She picked up.
"What do you want!?" She snapped.
"Well...Weiss, did you find it?" The caller asked.
Unfortunately, that choice of words set Weiss a bit over the top.
"DO YOU KNOW HOW DUSTING HARD IT IS THE FIND A COOKBOOK IN A COMBAT SCHOOL LIBRARY!?" Weiss replied furiously.
"Excuse me, Miss Schnee?" a soft yet audible voice called out a young shy looking rabbit faunus stood.
"WHAT?!" Weiss shouted as she turned around. The young rabbit girl flinched and hid behind the closest thing she could find...a book cart. Feeling bad for scaring the poor girl, Weiss acted promptly.
"OH! I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."
The young female faunus looked out from behind the book cart, checking to see if it was safe.
"It's okay." The rabbit faunus came out from behind the book cart
"I just get startled easily." She said with a sweet and shy tone. To Weiss's surprise she recognized the faunus.
"Wait? You're that faunus girl that Cardin and his idiot friends were picking on, right?"
The faunus was taken aback by how a world class heiress remembered a faunus like her, especially knowing the company's "history" with faunus.
"Yeah. I'm Velvet Scarlatina," the young girl said as she bent her head down and looked away.
Even though she was feeling bad for startling the poor girl, Weiss still wanted to know why Velvet came to her in the first place.
"Well what did you need Velvet?"
Velvet looked back up and tapped her index finger to her chin, trying to remember, then it came to her.
"Oh right! The librarian asked if I could tell you to quiet down. You were kind of yelling." Weiss knew she had been yelling and thought to herself for a moment. Then...
"Hellooo? Weiss you still there?"
Weiss snapped back to reality and looked to Velvet.
"What was that, dear?" She asked confused but in a soft polite manner.
"That wasn't me Miss Schnee." She pointed at Weiss's scroll, which was now on the floor face down.
Still confused, Weiss looked down. "Oh right!"
Weiss picked up the scroll, looked at the screen and then sighed in relief.
"Oh thank dust you're okay."
"Uh, thanks?" the girl on the scroll asked confused.
"Ugh! Not you. I meant the scroll. It didn't break when I dropped it and for your information. I have not found your stupid cookbook yet."
"Um, Miss Schnee?" Weiss looked over to Velvet.
"Velvet...you don't have to call me Miss Schnee, You can just call me Weiss, okay?" Weiss said smiling.
"Oh...okay. Of course, Miss Schn...Weiss." Velvet blushed at the fact that she had hopefully made a new friend.
"Blake!" a small muffled voice came from the scroll. Weiss looked back at the girl
"Hey Weiss? I have to go okay? Hope you find that book. I really need it. Bye."
"Okay bye, Blake."
Weiss hung up and put her scroll into her light blue and white purse with her family crest on the side. Then looked back to Velvet once more.
"So Velvet? Is there anything else you need?"
"Actually that's it. I have to go. I'll see you around, Miss Schn...Weiss?" She said still happy with the thought of making a new friend.
"Sure, Velvet. Bye." Weiss giggled to see how happy Velvet was.
"Bye." Then Velvet walked away with a hop in her step.
Guess I'll keep looking for that book. Weiss thought to herself.
Present Time: BEACON MEDICAL CENTER
"Then I went back to looking for that dust forsaken book." Weiss said with her arms crossed.
"I'm at a loss girls. that still doesn't explain why you two were arguing." Ozpin said.
"OH, OH! My turn again!" Ruby excitedly raised her hand and happily jumped up and down.
"Stop jumping like a complete idiot! This isn't funny Ruby!" Weiss was fed up with Ruby's childish behavior.
"Miss Schnee please, let Ruby be," Ozpin said to calm down Weiss. Then Ruby stopped and stuck her tongue out at Weiss.
"And you too Ruby. Now please continue on with..."
"Wait, Ozpin?" Goodwitch was standing next to the stranger's bed with her arms crossed.
"Can you finish this ridiculous story outside?" she twitched her head toward the medical bed next to her with the still sleeping stranger.
"Wait who's that?" Ruby asked looking concerned at the badly injured stranger in the bed.
"No one, Miss Rose. At least...he is none of your concern." and with that the three walked outside of the room, leaving Miss Goodwitch to watch the patient.
"I don't know who you are to Ozpin, or what Ozpin knows about you, but I hope you can be trusted." Glynda said to the stranger as she sat down.
