i had just woken up to the sound of Yang and Blake playfully bickering and in my opinion a bit too loudly. i was still half asleep when Ruby started dangling upside down from the top bunk.

"Weeeeiiiiissss!" she said dully compared to her normally energetic self, clearly half asleep herself "Time to get uuuuuup!" she bugged again. i looked at her and thought she was being a bit funny maybe even a bit cute. it took a few more seconds to realise what was wrong with the scene. i quickly flicked her forehead."Ow" she moaned and grumbled.

"Pull up your shirt dolt!" as i looked away so i didn't half to look at something i didn't need to see, my face warm with embarrassment

"Oh crap!" she exclaimed with her face as red as her cloak "S-s-sorry!" as she scrambled to pull up her shirt.

"And stop dangling" i said more relaxed now ,not wanting her to feel bad "you'll fall and hurt yourself"

"Ok" Ruby said not embarrassed anymore, sounding almost glad that i cared for her well being.

"i got dressed before me and the rest of the team headed to breakfast i grabbed my usual and sat across from yang and Blake. "hey Weiss" yang piped up "did you hear anything about wha-" Yang was cut off by a familiar voice

"Hiiii bestie!" Ruby cut in as she sat next to me, almost touching me. it made me think about how ruby had been acting for the past few weeks ... heck it had a bit over a month. Ruby had been a lot friendlier and ... clingy for that the past month. don't get me wrong we were close friends maybe even my best friend i just thought it was a bit odd for how i treated her. most of the time i'm scolding her for 'acting like a child'.

"Yang seemed to have forgotten the question she was going to ask me so i decided not to bother her. after a while team JNPR came and sat down and we all diverged into some small talk till professor ozpin's voice come in on the speaker "hello students today is a special day! ... there will be no classes because of a new school tradition starting this year!" he said with glee as students started to murmur "today will now be known as partner bonding day! it will be a day off from school and the only thing we ask is that you spend it with your partner!" there was the soft click indicating that his speech was over.

"Ruby then grabbed me and started shaking me around "Weeeeeiiiiisssss!" she practically squealed "what should we doooooooo! we could go shopping or play board games maybe go to the movies or do so many more fun thiiiings!" she squealed even louder bringing the attention of our friends.

"*gasp* Ren!" Nora shouted "Let's do everything Ruby just said! come on, come on, right now ,right now ,right now!" she said eagerly.

"calm down, Nora we need to make a plan for today" ren said calmly compared to his partner "we don't want to go in blindly. to get the most out of today we need to make a schedule."

"Jaune i already have an idea!" Pyrrha proclaimed grabbing his arm and dragging him away before any objection could be made.

"Yang and Blake had already gone off leaving only the N-R in JNPR and the R-W in RWBY sitting at the table. "Wiiieeesss" Ruby grumbled "what are we going to do first?" she winned

"well i think we both Know how much YOU need to study" i scolded. she gave me the saddest puppy dog eyes i had ever seen. so sad that i thought that making her study on this special day was the equivalent to dropping a puppy off a bridge. "buuut..." i started as i gave her a soft smile "a bored game does sound nice."

"yaaaaaa!" Ruby pounded her fist into the air.

"we'll come and play too!" Nora proclaimed "right ren?"

"if it's ok with them" ren responded.

"That would be lovely" i said with the hope that with Ren and Nora there Ruby would be less likely to crush me in that on remnant game she liked so much.

"well prepare to be crushed" Ruby gloated before bringing me into a ... awkward side hug. it wasn't awful it's just she isn't usaully so touchy ... and she was getting some weird grease all over my shoulder. but i guess i can let it slide ... she was my best friend after all.
