Ruby rushed towards the library hoping not that it hadn't closed for the night. With her semblance she rushed as fast as she could without crashing into another group of students like before. Ruby reached the library two minutes before closing. The game board was on the second floor in the middle between the sections of types of grimm and how to dispatch them with different types of weapons and a section on Aura and how it can manifest in different ways. The game board was there all cards left just as they were when they all had went back to the dorm. "Thank Dust." Ruby exhaled as she gathered all the cards. As she collected the cards she looked through each player hands." Might as well see if I had a chance at winning this game." Ruby mumbled to herself while picking up the cards seeing if she had a chance of winning if Blake would have participated and not read a book every time it wasn't her turn and have no idea what had happened the pervious turns.
She looks at Yang's had first seeing that she was winning before. She had all Vale based card most of them were trap cards the other weren't that good." She was going to fuck with everyone till the end huh?" Ruby already knew that her hand wouldn't be able to defeat her sister unless Yang got extremely carless or wasn't paying attention to the board. "Now what did Blake have?" Ruby asked herself picking up the pile of cards that Blake never played. Looking through the cards she found that she had the best cards for Atlas. If had played she could have won the whole game and still have half her cards left." Damn it Blake." Ruby head hung low as she felt a little pity for her teammate who, read rather than have fun with her friends. She finally got around seeing what Weiss had in her hand. They were decent Vacuole cards. Some were environmental hazards sandstorm and such. Weiss seemed more confused about playing the game than anything.
Ruby knew that Weiss's father wouldn't probably allow her to play the game most likely thinking that such games were beneath her. Weiss told her that her father was grooming her to be the next president of the company. She knew that this was forced decision that she wouldn't be able to change but, after she learned Blake's secret and saw how the White Fang was on the offensive because of unfair treatment. Weiss swore to Blake and herself that she was going to change that. Ruby admired that drive that Weiss had when her mind was focused on something she knew that something seemed impossible for others.
Ruby finished collecting the cards and figures placing them in the box and left the library. She was almost caught by the librarian but, she had eye sight do that Ruby was able to sneak away with her noticing that she had just left after closing. Ruby arrived at the room to find that her teammates were already sleeping. Yang was sprawled across her bed leg hanging off the edge. Blake was resting peacefully a book resting on the nightstand next to her. Weiss was sleeping just a peacefully as Blake her hair let down." Weiss looks so beautiful when she sleeps." Ruby though while she got dressed in her pajamas in the moonlight. Ruby always had a crush on Weiss ever since she told her that she was going to be the best teammates that she could be for her. She could never tell her that though, they had just met not even six months ago. "Huh, Weiss why is it so hard for me to tell you about my feelings?" Ruby asked herself as she jumped into her bed trying to not make any noise in doing so. She didn't Ruby grabbed her pillow and rested her head on it and drifted to sleep.
The next morning Ruby was awoken by the sound of fighting. "Well princess it's not my fault you weren't watching where you were going." Ruby heard her sister complain as she rubbing her eyes to see what Yang had done this time. It was another incident with Yang leaving her boots in the middle of the floor and Weiss had tripped over them, again.
"I mean seriously it has been month you think you would have gained the decency to at least put them near the doorway or something." Weiss argued pointing to the side of the door to emphasize her point. They had this argument every other month if Ruby was remembering correctly.
Ruby checked her scroll to see what time it was .It was 10am Saturday the sky was clear, birds were chirping and the sun was shining. Ruby just sighed as she got out of bed and walked to the bathroom avoiding the growing tension between her sister and her teammate. After she exited the bathroom she saw that they were in heated staring contest. Weiss's cold eyes were against Yang's now burning red eyes. "Blake get the bucket." She and Blake sighed as Blake grabbed the emergency bucket for when Yang starts 'flaring up' and they need to put her out before she burns the room or something. Blake hands Ruby the bucket filled with water and went to get change into her outing clothes. After two minutes of watching the fire and ice duo stare at each other Ruby decided to follow Blake lead and get dress as well.
As soon as she got her shirt over her head it was a signal for a hell to break loose. "That's it princess." Yang's aura spiked as went to tackle Weiss. Weiss just side stepped watching Yang trip over her own boots. The yellow brawler went flying and landed two inches away from the nightstand all the while Weiss laughed at the irony that befell Yang.
"What happened Yang? Weren't you watching where you were going? Weiss mocked as she went to get changed while Yang laid face down on the floor aura seeming to go back to its original clam. As soon as everyone finished getting dressed Yang got up from the floor.
"Weiss I'm sorry. I promise that I won't place my shoes in the middle of the room anymore." Yang apologized getting closer to give her a hung that Weiss quickly refused. Yang decided to force it since the bucket was still full of water was in arms reach of Weiss. After Yang took a shower and they fixed the two small burn marks on the floor they left the room.
"Where to guys?" Ruby asked as they walked down the corridor. They pondered this until Weiss said they should go back to the Vale festival and see other people from other school. His was most likely a spying tactic to see the strengths and weaknesses of other or she actually wanted to go. Blake and Yang agreed and they left.
The Dust jet was full of students from all of Remnant. All gawked at the view that the dust jet had to offer. They soon docked and they went to the middle of town. "Why don't we go to the carnival and see what we can win?" Ruby asked the group as they looked at each other. Why don't we look around first Ruby?" Yang as she gestured behind her with booths lining the streets. Weiss and Blake nodded their heads in agreement.
"Alright fine let's go." Ruby agreed. Secretly she wanted to get something for Weiss since she didn't know what to say maybe a gift would say it. Though she didn't know what to get something for someone who has had anything they had ever wanted grant to them. "I guess I have to figure that out while were out." Ruby thought as she followed her sister into the busy streets. Shortly, soon after she had lost her sister and friends completely in the crowd. "Oh come one I just like the first day." Ruby looked around for Yang, Weiss or Blake. She didn't see any of them. Ruby rushed around looking for at least one of her teammates. "I'll just call them." Ruby whips out her scroll to find that it's dead." The one time I don't charge the damn thing is the day I need it most." Ruby sighed in defeat to the thing known as fate and accepted the fact that she was going to have to look for her friends.
Ruby spent her day looking for her friends. She looked at the obvious place like the bookstore, the club and the most popular dust store in Vale but nothing. She would have had a horrible day if it wasn't for that cookie eating contest. She got second place to some person named Caboose. He wasn't bright as he didn't know it was a contest until the end of the competition. Caboose was supposedly from Vacuole and wore body armor supplied from Atlas. His friends fought after words. They began to argue that they should be wasting time here then some guy was shot in the head by Caboose. He died for a minute and came back to life. He said that his armor saved him but that was a lie his aura flicked dead and came back to life. Ruby decided not to look into it any further and looked for her teammates once again. Soon Ruby saw the one person she was most glad to see in all of Vale.
"Weiss!" Ruby called out not getting a response because of all the people around her. Ruby called out again only to be cancelled out once again. Weiss moved around the corner an unknown force pulling her. Ruby soon got to the corner to see what happened to her. Ruby froze in shock when she saw how Weiss was with. It was Neptune Sun teammate and friend was kissing Weiss. The shocking thing was that Weiss was into the kiss. She was on the tips of her heels, embracing him like she would fall if she didn't. Ruby felt as if heart was in a cold snap and the next heartbeat caused it to shatter from being so frail from the cold. "No. No. No No." Ruby ran with tears in her eyes. She couldn't bear to see the sight of someone she loved kiss someone else. She didn't know where she was going all she hoped was to escape the pain in her heart but, she couldn't no one can. Ruby crashed into someone when she tried to rub her eyes to get rid of the tears.
Ruby fell to the ground. She didn't even bother to get up. What was the point the one the she loved was with someone else." Are you ok?" A voice asked as it offered a hand to help her up. Ruby took the hand and stood up. Ruby cleared her eyes to see that I was Cinder that she had met on the first day of class of the new semester. "No." Ruby answered weakly. She just wanted to disappear.
"What happened?" Cinder asked seeming genuinely consider of Ruby. Ruby looked at her then the ground having a hard time making eye contact.
"I saw someone I love kiss someone else and I don't know what to do." Ruby broke down once again. Cinder trying to console her as Ruby cried. She waited until the waterworks stopped from Ruby's eyes.
"Who is it?" Cinder asked holding onto Ruby's hands. "Her name is Weiss, Weiss Schnee." Ruby answered feeling her throat burn as she spoke the words. Cinder smiled a bit. "Why don't we try to get her back to you?" Cinder suggested happy to see that Ruby started to change demeanors for a bit.
"Really?" Ruby looked into her eyes hoping that she telling the truth. Seeing Cinder smile gave her hope." Yes Really." Cinder answered as Ruby eyes filled with tears again this time with hope in them.
"Thank you!" Ruby hugged Cinder tightly thinking that she was soon going to be with Weiss." No problem Ruby. No problem at all." Cinder hugged her eyes glowing with power and a devious smile.
