Here is Chapter 2 of this story, for an introductory chapter in my opinion, I say the feedback on this story is doing alright so far. Also, please leave a review since this is a new story and I am going back to my old roots on writing stories on this one so there will kinda be some similarities when you compare this story with my previous works…

(Also, disclaimer: This story will have moments that are OOC... that's just to put it out there.)

I did not think it would take this long for Weiss to take a shower. The clock kept ticking and it was the only thing that kept the silence from settling in. How many times did it tick? Probably over three-thousand times but I think I may be exaggerating. I decided to waste time by changing into some casual clothing since it isn't a school day and it'll be winter break for the next two weeks. I thought it was only a week until I had received a message from my scroll. It was from one of my friends, Jaune Arc, the leader of team JNPR that lived across from our dorm.

Hey Ruby, sorry but I can't make it to that performance Yang invited everyone to since Winter Break is here and the fact that my parents want me to visit and stay with them for the next two weeks so like I said, I'm sorry. Actually, the rest of my team, even Nora which I think is strange have to decline on going since they already have plans on that day. I guess it'll be just your team that's going. I hope next year if we have the time, we'll go with y'all, anyways take care Ruby. -Jaune

I sighed. Yang isn't going to like that. I thought and groaned. The performance Jaune mentioned is actually an event from this group of guys Yang likes known as The Achieve Men. I never heard of them so I wanted to tag along and see why she likes them, it took a bit of convincing for Weiss and Blake to agree but they gave up after Yang sincerely gave the gift of a barrage of reasons why they should go. Now that's the only thing we have planned for while the other couple of days will be something we'll have to come up with. I don't want to be bored during this break… I want it to be cool. Weiss walked out of the bathroom in her combat attire which took me out of my thoughts. A pale blue bolero jacket with a combat skirt of the same color, the inside of it's colored red and her sleeves turn blue as it gets to her wrists.

She gave me a look and trailed her eyes up and down, examining me. "What are you wearing Ruby, I thought you were wearing your school clothing?" she asked.

I shook my head. "I decided to go for something more casual since we have winter break after this weekend so I shouldn't wear them." I changed into a red hoodie with black jeans… I haven't worn this in a while so the feeling when I put it on was comfort. Under my hoodie was a red and black shirt so it was nothing special.

"Ruby… you need to get some more proper clothing, let's just get eat quickly and head down to town so I can at least get you something better."

"But… I like these clothes… they're special to me for a reason."

"Well, it looks outdated and how long have you had it?"

"Since I was little." I mumbled.

"Say that again, I couldn't hear you?"

I spoke up this time "Since I was little."

"How does it still fit you if you had it for years?"

"Someone that I will never forget gave it to me; I keep it with me so I can always remember the time I had with her."

"Oh… well I guess we shouldn't replace them, but you might need some heavy clothing if you're going to survive the winter." She did have a point; the clothing I was wearing would only keep me warm for just a little while.

"Okay, let's get going then, I'm getting hungry."

She smiled. "Okay you dunce, let's eat."

A couple minutes later, in the cafeteria…

"Then, we were surrounded by twenty beowolves."

"It was actually two." Weiss and I had ran into Nora and Ren from team JNPR, apparently they were just going to get some breakfast before heading out and Nora herself began telling stories. "Ren and I didn't know what to do… we barely had any ammo and the strength to take them down."

"We could have taken them down in a second actually." Ren said in an emotionless tone.

"So I just combat rolled around one of them and climbed onto its back."

"She wanted to see if she can get a piggy back ride with one of them so I can take a picture of it."

"That is pretty cool." I said in a chirpy voice.

Weiss glared at me. "Shh, be quiet you dunce, I want to hear more."

Nora continued her story as she ate her pancakes quickly. "Then someone out nowhere threw a piece of dynamite and it exploded, making Ren and I get blown back by the force while it blew up the beowolves into bits."

"She shot a grenade out of her grenade launcher and I was glad it didn't kill the both of us… we made it without a scratch."

"Is there more to it?!" I asked Nora in excitement.

She shook her head. "Nope… that was it."

Ren looked up at the clock close to the exit and got up. "We should get going, Nora, let's go."

"Coming Ren!" Nora replied happily and giggled. "It was nice talking to you two." Then Nora and Ren left.

"That was an awesome story!" I shouted happily.
"It was nice, we should finish eating Ruby your cookies are getting cold and what did I tell you about only eating sweets?" Weiss asked.

I let out a groan. "You sound like my dad; I think it was don't eat sweets when you haven't eaten anything."

"Correct, now please get something to eat before I begin to worry for you starving."

"Aww, but I don't want to get up." I gave her the puppy dog eyes. "Can you get me something to eat pwease?"

"Are you seriously doing that and did you just say please in a different way?"

"Maybe."

I held my look for a while and I can tell she was cracking, finally she sighed. "You win; I'll get you something to eat." Weiss got up and walked close to the middle of the table where the food was at. I love winning. I thought and chuckled. She came back with a plateful of salad and chicken. "Here, this is something healthy, now eat."

Now I wish I hadn't won but I began eating it anyway. "It's not that bad I guess." I said as I ate.

"Don't talk with your mouth full." She said and grabbed a napkin. "You love to eat like a child don't you?"

Weiss began cleaning the food that was surrounding my mouth when I was eating messy. "I mean you called me a child so why can't I act like one?" I asked.

She put down the napkin and glared. "You're a team leader now Ruby… we can't act like children forever you know."

I laughed. "Since when did you become this serious Weiss, I've never seen you like it?"

She crossed her arms and continued glaring. "I'm serious Ruby, we have to get serious and prepare for the worst... even if it the problem's not there."

I ignored her. "You worry too much Weiss... we should go to town or else we won't have time at all to do anything."

My white-haired partner huffed. "Let's just go you dolt." She replied in a voice filled with anger, got up and began walking towards the exit.

I didn't know why she was angry but it only reminded me of the first day of classes when she was angered on how I was acting. "Pfft, what did I do?" I asked in an annoyed tone as I followed.

She turned around. "We are not starting this again, not like how it was last time!" Everyone in the cafeteria turned towards us.

"Weiss, I just want to know why you're angry all of a-"

"You don't know?! You're not taking anything seriously; you still act like a child even when I try to be nice!"

I looked around, people began talking to others. "Um Weiss-"

She stopped me before I can finish telling her that people are talking about us. "No Ruby Rose, you will start acting like a leader right now, we can't just have fun forever... it has to end!"

I was beginning to feel embarrassed, people were giggling and laughing... most of it was directed at me. Weiss has to stop but I can't just do that, it'll make things worse. I thought. I didn't have to do anything at all once Weiss turned and saw everyone looking. "Did you really have to snap here, in front of everyone?" I asked. The fear of hearing her snap was gone, the emotion that replaced it was full on embarrassment and the only thing I wanted to do was hide.

"R-Ruby I didn't mean to-"

"Just don't..." I shouldn't have done it but I ran out of the cafeteria and went back to the dorm. Forget heading to the city, I just want to stay inside for the rest of the day... maybe for the whole winter break. What was Weiss thinking when I bailed out? I shouldn't be worried for that, what will my reputation be when everyone hears about what happened? No one will take me seriously; heck I don't think anyone will be nice to me anymore. Still, Weiss is my partner and now I wonder… will she still be my partner?

So this, in my opinion, is not really a good chapter but I guess it'll be enough for now. Anyways, as always, take the time to leave a review so I know your opinions... in the meantime, stay classy.
