Weiss was nervous, she was incredibly nervous about meeting Ruby and she didn't know why. Normally Weiss was completely sure of herself; she was the picture of self-confidence no matter what she was doing, except for now. It was the next day and Weiss was standing with Blake on the boardwalk waiting for the two sisters to arrive. Blake was wearing a similar outfit to yesterday, but the main difference was that she was wearing a black and purple long sleeve t-shirt while Weiss was wearing a white shirt with light blue jeans and white boots, her hair still in its usual off center ponytail. It was around 6:30 pm. Fifteen minutes before they were supposed to meet the sisters for the night.
"Blake, why are we here so early?" Weiss asked trying to distract herself from the nerves she felt. Blake continued scanning the crowd for Yang and Ruby for a moment before answering.
"Well I felt I should give you a quick warning about Ruby," Blake began looking toward Weiss
"What kind of warning?" Weiss inquired suddenly feeling more nervous about her meeting with the mysterious Ruby.
"Well, Ruby is a sweet, adorable, and kind girl but she is…" Blake thought for a second looking for the appropriate words to describe Ruby "energetic. Try to watch out for how much sugar she eats as she gets even more hyperactive then." Blake said remembering that one time Ruby had eaten three boxes of chocolate chip cookies by herself.
Weiss sighed in relief. She had been worried about what the warning Blake would have to give, but this was good news: Ruby was simply energetic.
"Oh thank god I thought you were going to say….." Blake never heard what Weiss thought as at that moment they heard a girl's voice shouting easily distinguishable from the general din of the crowded boardwalk.
"YAAAAANNNNNGGGGGG!"
Then two girls, both running towards Blake and Weiss, one being a tall blonde being chased by a younger-looking girl with black hair with red dyed tips. The younger girl tackled the blonde to the ground, but before she could make advantage of this position she was pulled off by an intervening Blake
"Really Ruby, why did you just tackle Yang?" Blake asked genuine curiosity in her voice. The younger girl, Ruby, looked at Blake
"She was teasing me!" the young girl whined at the bemused Blake
"And what was she teasing you about?" This question caused Ruby to turn her face away her cheeks burning crimson.
"Nothing," she mumbled
Blake was right; Ruby was adorable. She was wearing black sneakers with red laces, black jeans and a red jacket even though it was summer. Though it was her face that really sealed it; she had a round face with wide, innocent silver eyes that were framed by her hair which reached her neck on one side and her cheek on the other. Upon noticing Weiss, she looked her up and down with an open-mouth expression before recovering and a wide smile appeared on her face, she looked at Blake who simply released her hold on the girl before darting over to the person she had heard about from Blake, her hand outstretched
"Hi my name is Ruby! What's your name? Do you like cookies? How did you meet Blake?" she started asking question in a rapid-fire form leaving Weiss no time to answer any of her inquiries.
The blonde, Yang, having recovered from her sister's earlier attack saw that Weiss was drowning in the red-themed girl's sea of questions and decided to intervene.
"Whoa slow down there Rubes," she said, throwing her arm over the shorter girls shoulder "Let the girl breathe."
Ruby, looking abashed, looked back at Weiss and said meekly,
"Sorry, my name is Ruby, do you want to be friends?" she asked her silver eyes meeting Weiss' and softening the girls normally cold demeanor
"Hello Ruby. I'm Weiss and yes I think we could be friends." Weiss said softly. Normally she would have yelled at someone who acted like the girl before her, but something about this Ruby seemed to disarm Weiss making her feel comfortable around her. At this the younger girls expression lit up and again reverted back to its original happy, energetic appearance.
"Weiss…..that's a pretty name." Ruby said after a moment of contemplation.
This unexpected comment from the young red-themed girl caused a blush the same color as her name to appear on Weiss' face.
"Thank you." Weiss mumbled. 'Why am i so nervous she simply complemented me?' she said to herself internally. Blake and Yang both smiled, watching the event unfold. Both excited that their plan was going well
"Now that you two have gotten acquainted, let's go have fun!" Yang shouted as she started pulling Blake who just rolled her eyes, by the hand.
"Well...let's go!" Ruby chirped happily as she mirrored her sister by grabbing Weiss' cool, slender hand in her own, causing the blush on Weiss' face to burn a deeper shade of red at the contact.
'Why am I acting like this?' Weiss thought as she walked along behind Ruby, her hand still in the other girl's hand. 'I just met this girl, why am I so nervous around her?' Weiss thought before she decided to just enjoy the night, however it played out.
Blake and Yang were a short way ahead of the red and white girls so Blake felt comfortable asking Yang a question.
"What were you teasing Ruby about to make her so riled up anyway?"
Yang just grinned cheekily as she threw the other girls, who were admiring the various performers who gathered there as they continued walking, a look over her shoulder.
"Oh, that. I just asked Ruby if she was excited for her date tonight."
Blake just shook her head at the antics of her girlfriend. 'Why do i love her again?'
"Really before they even met, and you were already teasing your sister? What if she had decided to go home?" Blake asked frustrated. She loved Yang but sometimes she was something else.
"Oh she wouldn't have done that. Especially because I drove her here." she answered confidently before pulling Blake into a hug, reminding the dark-haired girl why she loved the blonde.
This was how the group spent the next hour or so, with Blake and Yang (more so Yang) leading the group and stopping to embrace when the other two were more interested in something else. While the other two girls continued walking behind them. Ruby had let go of Weiss' hand but the pale girl still felt nervous around the younger girl and she found making direct eye contact with those bright silver eyes difficult. Though she was enjoying the night.
It was when Weiss and Ruby were looking at a boardwalk store that was selling hermit crabs with multicolored shells, when Yang suddenly jumped behind them
"Hey! Me and Blake found a laser tag arena and there's a 2v2 game. You wanna play?" she asked excitement filling her face. Ruby's face lit up at the prospect of laser tag
"Of course we want to play, right Weiss?" she said while turning to her friend while practically jumping up and down. Weiss looked uncomfortable but she did not want to disappoint her new friend by declining.
'Why do I care so much about her happiness?'
"I suppose but I've never played before." Weiss warned her friend.
"Oh that's okay! You'll learn and I promise you will have fun I'll make sure of it as your partner." Ruby told her snowy-haired friend as she grabbed her hand, once again causing a blush to show up once again on Weiss' face; both from her actions and words.
They went down the boardwalk a little ways and found Blake standing in front of a hole in the wall laser tag arena with a sign that said "Tag-Team Laser Fight." Blake and Yang went as partners against Ruby and Weiss. While the nervous white haired girl did not know how to play, she was a quick learner and after having the rules explained to her by Ruby, and some losses on the first 2 games. By the end of the best of five series they played she was working strategies with an amazed Ruby. They managed to corner Yang in the last round after they eliminated Blake, and though they sacrificed Weiss to draw Yang out they won the series 3-2.
After they had put their equipment away Weiss and Ruby stepped out of the Laser-tag arena looking for the other two members of their group.
"Yang! Yangggg!" Ruby yelled to be heard above the crowd, if her sister was near she was not responding.
"Those two ditched us!" Weiss cried indignant that they would leave them.
"Oh well, they are on a date after all." Ruby said after thinking for a moment, "We'll just have to have fun on our own!" she decided after a moment. Weiss did not argue with this plan and instead took Ruby's hand in hers and began walking further along the boardwalk, feeling a happiness in the thought of spending more time with the energetic girl. It was then that she felt a chill. It may have been summer, but there was a cold breeze coming in from the nearby ocean. Weiss shivered until she felt warmth put over her shoulders. Looking over, she saw Ruby's red jacket over her shoulders while the aforementioned girl was looking at Weiss with a smile on her face with only her black t-shirt with red stripes on it.
"You were shivering so I decided you need the jacket more than me!"
Weiss looked at Ruby feeling her face begin to burn again before she buried her face in the jacket and mumbled a thank you.
Ruby and Weiss walked along the boardwalk and eventually reached the section that held the carnival-style games that had stuffed animals as prizes. Weiss planned on walking by until she felt Ruby's hand slip out of her own, with the girl standing still staring at the prizes at a particular game.
"Ruby what's wrong?" Weiss asked, concern for her friend evident in her voice.
"Weiss….wait here I'll be right back!" And without a further word she left Weiss standing there. Speechless and confused as to what had just occurred. Unsure of what to do, she listened to Ruby and waited for her to return. Several minutes passed and with each that went by made Weiss feel the return of her nerves that had disappeared earlier in the night.
'What is wrong with me? Why do I feel so nervous and happy around Ruby?' Before Weiss could contemplate this question she saw the silver-eyed girl return with her hands behind her back and a smile on her face.
Before she could ask what Ruby was hiding she was face to face with an Ursa, or the cartoonish stuffed Ursa that Ruby was holding in front of her.
"Here you go Weiss, I won this for you!" she exclaimed happily.
"Won...for...me?" Weiss said, her mouth uncooperative. Her mind uncomprehending at the unfolding events
"Yeah it's for you, a present for my new Best Friend!" Ruby said while pressing the toy into Weiss' hands. Weiss looked at the toy for a moment before she felt something unusual, she was smiling, and not the small smile she normally used whenever she felt it was needed. It was a wide grin similar to what Ruby had been sporting when they first met.
"Thank you Ruby, I love it." Weiss said as she hugged the Ursa while a smiling Ruby beamed at her, happy that her friend loved the simple gift so much.
It was like this that Blake and Yang found the other two girls. They had, in fact, ditched Ruby and Weiss to enjoy themselves as a couple and to allow the other two girls time to bond.
"It seems like it worked." Blake said as she rested her head on Yang's shoulder.
"Yeah they do make a cute couple, I guess you were right when you said that they would be good together." Yang conceded as she kissed her girlfriend's head.
"Well, it is getting late and I still need to take Weiss home." Blake sighed disappointingly as she wanted to spend more time with Yang.
"And I should be getting Ruby home soon, but we'll hang out tomorrow?" Yang asked.
"Definitely," was the reply she got from her dark-haired girlfriend, the exact response she was hoping for.
"Ruby…..I had a great time tonight." Weiss said, looking away from her friend, "And I'd like to hang out with you again sometime." she mumbled shyly. 'Come on Weiss, you can talk to her! Calm down!'
"I had a great time too, Weiss. And we should definitely hang out sometime." Ruby said, smiling at the thought of spending more time with her new friend.
"Here hand me your phone, Ruby." Weiss said, holding her hand out. Ruby reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone handing it to Weiss who started tapping at the screen.
"Alright here you go. Text me later, okay?" Weiss said tentatively as she handed the smiling girl her phone.
"Definitely!" was the happy reply she got from her red-headed friend, the exact response she was hoping for.
