Her nose was to the soil as she sprinted through the forest. The ground whizzed by her in blurs of green and brown, tree limbs brushed against the crimson hood covering her head. She started to slow down as she reached her favorite part of the forest, its single glistening lake.

As she approached the edge of the water she stopped, checking for signs of movement. After noticing nothing she dived in with a gracefulness any swimmer would be jealous of. With her eyes open, she swam to the bottom of the lake exploring the vast collection of smoothed rocks and jewels.

'I should give one of these to Weiss for her 10th birthday' she thought to herself as she pushed off the bottom of the lake. As she reached the surface her ears twitched at the sound of someone yelling. Quickly shaking the water out of her ears she listened again, "Ruby," the voice called, "time for lunch".

Ruby quickly swam back to the edge of the lake and shook herself out.

'Eh my clothes will dry on the way back.' She thought as her tail swished behind her with each stride. In a matter of only a minute Ruby was back at the mansion, her sister waiting outside for her.

"Hey sis," Ruby said as she stood up and brushed off her hands, "did you say it was lunch time?"

"Yes I did," Weiss responded as she tossed Ruuby a towel, "I had a feeling you'd be out swimming again."

"Am I that predictable?" Ruby joked as she quickly dried herself off the rest of the way.

"I don't know, maybe," Weiss responded as she started to walk back towards the mansion, "I know one thing though," she looked back over he shoulder at Ruby, "there won't be any cookies left if you don't hurry."
