Chapter Two: Morning Glory

"Yaaaaaang!" A shrill voice called into Yangs ear, and suddenly as her eyes jerked open, the emptiness was replaced with the smiling face of Ruby Rose. "Wake up!" The younger girl trilled and suddenly there was a shrill screech as Ruby blew into her cheap plastic whistle.

"What on earth you dolt!" A voice said from a few feet away, and Yangf looked down to see a very angry Weiss in a blue nightdress staring at Ruby with a look that could kill. "Has it occured to you that some of us may want to continue sleeping!"

"At least you don't have heightened hearing." A calm voice said, and Yang could picture the dark haired Blake on the bed undernath hers rubbing her ears and pushing away the book she had most likley fallen asleep reading.

"Wake up and arise team RWBY!" Ruby said, and energetically began running around the room, opening the curtains and just generally bouncing from place to place with the aid of her speed sembelance.

Yang lowered herself to the floor with a grunt. All her muscles throbbed and her back ached, the same way it had in her dream not even five minutes ago. Weiss and Blake were doing the same. The only one who didn't seem to be having a problem was Ruby, who with her speed sembelance and seemingly neverending ball of energy seemed to be able to heal a little faster than everyone else. Yang waited until her half sister ran by her and grabbed the hood of her scarlet cape. Ruby suddenly came to a screeching halt and was practically panting with excitement.

"I assume you must have a good reason for waking us up this early in the day." Weiss said to the younger girl, icy blue eyes narrowed.

"Well yeah!" Ruby said, silver eyes full of excitement. "Ospin canceled all the classes for today because of the repairs needed to happen around the city due to the breach!" Happy silver eyes met Icy blue one that went from angry to appalled.

"No classes?" The heiress questioned.

"Nope!" Ruby answered cheerfully. "We get a free day!" The younger girl looked at the heiress downcast expression. Yang looked at Blake and the two of them had to stifle a laugh. Of course Weiss would be devastated at the fact they were goingto miss long tedious lectures about history and tests!

"But we were going to have a test today!" Weiss sat down on her bed and crossed her arms. "I intended to ace it! Well no matter. On the bright side I can get time to study today!" She said thoughtfully pulling her hair back into her signature off the center ponytail. "I suggest we all take shifts between studying and training. Blake and I can study first, creating an outline for you and Ruby to go over-"

"Jeeze Weiss, live a little!" Yang interrupted, and began to walk toward the closet. She flung open the doors and pulled out a fresh tank top and shorts.

"Well then." She said, ice blue eyes boring into the back of Yangs head. "What may I ask, are you going to be doing today?"

Yang tried to sound as nonchalant as possible. "Just you know, training...for the tournament. I mean after all the Vytal festival is only a week away!" She said lightly hoping no one would see this as suspicious. Please, please, please just let them let me go to the gym. As much as Yang loved Ruby and her team, today she needed to be alone, and mindlessly hitting a punching bag or swimming laps or even weaponless sparring was just the thing she needed. She wanted time to think about what she had seen last night, and she wanted to know how she had lost so easily to that lopsided smiling, umbrella carrying chick. Its not that she didn't mind almost dying, heck she did that every time they fought a Grimm, Yang didn't like the feeling of helplessness that she'd been given as the girl had raised her sword above her heart and almost finished her off.

"Training?" Weiss Schnee said to her quizingly. "You tell me to live a little, but your going and training? Isn't that a bit hypocrytic?" Her tone was teasing, but Yang couldn't help but feel so so irritated in that moment.

Yang didn't know why at that moment she got so angry. she could never remember, but she slowly stiffened up and her eyes went from lavender to crimson. She just felt so angry for noting at all, it all unknowest to her having built over the day and night, and suddenly Yang just wanted to explode.

"

"Yang?" Ruby's voice asked her sounding small. She had seen her older sister tense up, and knew something bad was about to come. Yang knew she should have walked away. let herself calm down, but suddenly she spun on her heel and snapped at the heiress, red eyes blazing.

"You didn't just lose a fight against someone a whole head and a half shorter than you, in fact you don't have to worry, little miss perfect! Miss perfect grades, perfect form, perfect skill! Yes I'm telling you to live a little because once in awhile you need to stop being so perfect and have some fun because you don't need help! Others of us don't have perfect skill and just get on by luck and are aren't saved by skill, but by some mysterous figure who comes back later and fucks with our brains, and YES I am a complete and total hypocrate for it! SUE ME, I DON'T CARE TODAY I JUST NEED TO BE LEFT ALONE!" Yang yelled, and turning around grabbed her boots and stomped into the bathroom.

Weiss just stood there looking stunned. Ruby ran and knocked on the bathroom door. "Yang!" She said in her high pitched voice. "Yaaang, she was just kidding!" There was no answer. Ruby sighed and walked over to Weiss. "Sorry, she gets a little tempermental after losing a fight like that. I'm sure she'll train her but off, and by the time we get to the Vytal Festival Tournament she'll be back to normal and in tip top shape!" Ruby nodded confidently.

"One can only hope." Weiss said, but still looked hurt and unconvinced. "I do expect an apology very soon."

"Weiss, I'm not saying what she did was right, but imagine yourself in her shoes. She almost died and had to be saved by someone else who she doesn't even know. Let her train and think about her actions today, and then apologize when she is ready." Blake said, from the windowsill, without looking up from her book. "Like Ruby said, I'm sure she will be just fine." But the dark haired Faunus didn't sound very convinced.
