I've been told that being more casual is actually NOT a bad thing, so, I'm putting this little thing here, thus breaking my silence. Hi there. I would like it on the record that I wrote both of these chapters in one day in a random burst of inspiration. I don't know how I did it.
Also, not mad, but I notice THIS story got 75 views in ONE day with ONE chapter, and frankly that's a bit unfair when I have another fic that I put way more work into that has like SIX chapters? Whatever, I encourage you check it out if you like OCs, if that's not your thing, I get it, that's why you're reading this... wait, this has OCs too. Whatever, I'm rambling, read the story, is it good? Tell me so, please, or tell me if it's not, tell me EXACTLY what was wrong with it and I'll work to improve, that's why they invented reviews. Bye now, enjoy.
Weiss Schnee had gotten up bright and early in the morning, as was customary for her. She got up a little extra early so that she could get started on breakfast for her team. She'd started making them some simple stuff, waffles or toast, on Mondays so that they could do a bit of studying before they even went to class, and not even bother with going to breakfast.
She'd started her routine, waking up at precisely 7:00 AM, taking a quick, cold shower, getting dressed in her uniform, and now she was making breakfast. She trusted her team to wake up on their own most of the time, or at least wake each other up, but eventually, she went to go get Ruby. She must've stayed up too late.
She walked over from the makeshift kitchen area to her and Ruby's bunks, climbing up to gently, yet sternly wake her up. She nudged the girl, who'd shifted so much in her sleep she was under the covers. "Ruby, it's time to get up..." She quietly said. She heard a childish groan. "Too earlyyy..." The girl whined. Weiss rolled her eyes and pulled the sheet back. This was the point where she realized this girl was not Ruby Rose.
She had the same youthful features and pale skin, but her hair was just a tad longer and even a bit brighter than Ruby's, fading into green as it reached the bottom instead of red. Her pajamas too, they were also different, a white tank top with a green diamond on it, with black pajama pants that had vine designs sprawling around it, riddled with thorns. As the girl stretched, yawned, and finally opened her dark, dark brown eyes, she saw Weiss and reacted accordingly.
"AHH!" She shrieked, backing away to the corner of the bunk and holding the blanket up as if it would protect her. "WHO THE HECK ARE YOU!? WHERE AM I!? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY TEAMMATES?!" She yelled. She sounded very much like Ruby, though Weiss had never seen Ruby quite so hysterical.
Yang came into the room after hearing what sounded like her sister freaking out. "Ruby, you okay?" She shouted from across the room. As she approached, the dark-eyed girl shrieked again. "OH NO, REINFORCEMENTS!" She said and then threw a pillow at Yang, which barely phased her. "Jeez, calm down, did you have a nightmare or something-oh, that's not Ruby, huh?" She said as she finally caught sight of the girl.
Weiss climbed down, a bit surprised by all this. "I have no idea who she is, I just went to wake Ruby up and she was in her bed instead!" Weiss explained. Blake walked up to the two. "What's happening?" She asked. Yang put her hands on her hips, trying to figure out how to deal with this situation as she scanned the scene. "Weird girl in Ruby's bed. She's throwing pillows." Yang said. "What do we do about it?" Blake asked, more confused than concerned. Yang shrugged. "Wait til she's out of pillows?"
Weiss sighed. "Obviously this girl must be one of the students here for the tournament..." Weiss said, trying to come up with a reasonable explanation for this. "Oh, you think someone pranked her by putting her in Ruby's bed? Like CRDL?" Yang asked. "For their sake, I hope not... I'd like to believe they've learned their lesson by this point." Blake said. "Whatever the case, we need to calm her down and report this to the school." Weiss said, walking over to the kitchen and dishing out food.
Yang raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing?" She asked as Weiss served up breakfast. She grabbed a plate and a glass of milk. "I'm bringing her breakfast, maybe she'll calm down that way." Weiss said, carefully climbing up to the top bunk with both food and drink. She expected the girl would calm down, or at least stop throwing pillows with the offer of food, but found that not to be the case as the plate of food was smacked up into her face.
She fell backward, thankfully caught by Yang before she hit the floor, her face and uniform covered in syrup and milk. Weiss couldn't properly express her anger with words, so she just let out something in between a frustrated groan and a scream, storming off to clean up. The girl called out to her. "I DON'T APOLOGIZE, YOU COULD'VE POISONED THAT!"
Yang shook her head and sighed, climbing up to the top bunk. "Hey theeeeeere, spazzy. What's up?" She said. The girl was wrapped in blankets, holding a pillow at the ready. "No sudden movements! I won't hesitate!" She said, trying to sound intimidating, and failing, prompting Yang to let out a few chuckles. "Listen, we're not gonna hurt you, we have no idea how you got here. I'm Yang, will you please tell us your name so we can call Ozpin about this?" She said. She'd dealt with sugar crazy Ruby before, and this was pretty similar. The girl narrowed her eyes, looking for any signs of deceit. "...If you must know, my name is Peridot Thorn, supreme leader of Team PSTL!" She said triumphantly.
Yang smiled at this. "Right then, mighty leader, why don't you come down from here and have some waffles with us?" Yang asked. Peridot considered this for a moment. "...No pancakes...?" She asked. Yang shook her head. "Nope, sorry." She said. Peridot sighed. "I GUESS waffles will do... but back away so I can get down without any sneak attacks!" She said, still holding her pillow. Yang did so, making sure Blake was also abiding by this girl's paranoid rules.
Peridot quickly climbed down from the top bunk and looked around, gasping every so often, then trying to hide her surprise. Yang was confused. "Uh... something wrong?" She asked her. "SO, YOU THINK YOU CAN RIP OFF MY TEAM'S SIGNATURE DORM LOOK AND JUST CHANGE UP A FEW OF THE COLORS, HUH?! HAVE YOU BEEN SPYING ON US?!" She snapped back. Blake looked up at her, stone-faced. "We have no idea what you're talking about." She said.
Just then, Weiss walked out of the bathroom with a fresh uniform on, glaring at Peridot. The short girl noticed this and seemed to visibly wince at the heiress's gaze, quickly looking away and fiddling with her hair. "Why is everybody staring at meeeeeeeeeeee?!" She said, glancing around rapidly. "Because you're yelling...?" Yang responded. "I'M BEING AS LOUD AS I NEED TO IN THIS SCENARIO!" She shouted. "OH, JUST SHUT UP!" Weiss yelled at her. Peridot jumped a bit at this, she seemed to be really hurt by the tone she'd used. But then she just folded her arms and pouted, stomping her way to the kitchen table and sitting down.
Weiss took out her scroll to call the office of the school immediately, the sooner this girl was gone and Ruby was back, the better.
