Yo Peeps, GMG here with chapter three. The reason for quick updates? It's easy to begin a story with a robot turned human. It's about making sure they are human, then getting them accustomed to being human. That aside, I searched for some pics for the shipping... SO MANY PONIES! I typed in "Nuts and dolts RWBY" and got 5 relevant pictures and a bunch of horse shit, excuse the pun. Now, onward!
Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY... Or much at all. Well at least I have my iPod to play on.
We, as human beings, take many parts of our life for granted and don't think about every detail. Kind of hard to ignore when a robot doesn't understand certain body functions and reactions. After everything had settled from Penny's "physical" the girls began to explain a few things to the former android. This included the tingling sensation meaning you needed to go to the restroom.
As lunch time came up, Penny had another question. "My stomach feels unpleasant and empty, while a highly unpleasant dryness happens to be in my mouth and throat. What do these things mean?"
It was Blake who answered. "It probably means you are hungry and thirsty. Also, you should remember to drink frequently. Now that you're like us, dehydration can get to you."
The girls in agreement, they departed to the lunch room. Penny didn't know what food was like or drinks, so she got the same things as Ruby. After a crash course in table manners, Penny ate like the average joe, meaning she ate like a teenage boy. Thankfully, the fact that keeping your mouth closed while you chewed stuck, much to Weiss' relief.
"So," Yang started, a grin beginning to take hold. "How did the physical go, Ruby?" She waggled her eyebrows suggestively.
Ruby, who had been drinking her milk, sputtered and spilled milk on her jacket. "It went fine." She hoped the quick answer would satisfy Yang for the moment.
Too bad. "You got to grope a girl and you say it was "just fine"?" Lilac eyes glinted mischievously. "I think you're lying."
Penny cut off Ruby's retort. "Friend Ruby is correct. She completed what the test was meant to do. She verified my humanity, so it went just fine."
Yang muttered under her breath. "I'm sure that's not all you did." She snickered, earning her a slap from Weiss.
Said heiress frowned. "No need to talk dirty like that, Yang. It's disrespectful."
Penny interjected yet again. "How are words possibly classified as dirty? Yang took a shower recently, no? I do not understand."
A voice from close by answered. "It's a connotation as opposed to denotation of the word dirty, referring to the words as being crude and corrupt in the eyes of society. Mostly used to describe words pertaining to sexual innuendo." Blake's eyes snapped up from her book to see who said this. The man was tall, just above six feet, with a slim build. He had black spiky hair, onyx eyes, and a mask covering his lower face. He wore a long black coat over a green shirt with black Capri pants.
"Who are you?" Queried the cat faunus.
He gave a short bow. "Tyson Graywall. I was visiting a friend."
Penny glanced a him and nodded respectfully. "Thank you for answering my question. I feel more confident knowing that I can better understand what others mean when using the word."
Tyson chuckled. "No problem, robo-girl. Though you seem to be lacking the hardware from before."
The five froze, looking at him. How did he know?
"Um, girls?" He asked, concerned. "You okay? I was just kidding. She just talks like a robot. I didn't mean it literally."
They all let out breaths they didn't know they were holding. Ruby perked up. "So, who are you visiting?"
He smiled. "I was visiting Oobleck. He and I like to swap notes on history from time to time. I act as an informant for him. I get the old records, learn them, and pass that knowledge to him, so he can teach it to you girls."
Weiss nodded politely. "We
Thank you for your help and wish you a pleasant visit. It was nice meeting you."
"As it was a pleasure to meet you girls." He turned and gave a short wave, walking off. "Au revoir!"
At Penny's confused look, Ruby answered her unasked question. "It means "good bye" in French."
"Oh."
Yang gestures toward's the ginger's plate. "So, how was the food?"
Penny grinned. "Sensational!"
Yang. "Would you say the same about Ruby?"
Said party retorted indignantly; i.e. she whined. "Yannngggg!"
"What? I was just asking her what she thinks of you."
Penny was in deep thought. "I do not know how to answer with complete certainty. Ruby is nice and very loyal. She cares about her friends and that includes me. She has very nice silver eyes and a fit physique. Being around her makes me warm for no reason. I don't know what I feel." She dragged her fingers through her hair and frowned. "I think I'm feeling frustrated from trying to figure it out."
Ruby just stared while the other three had smiles of varying sizes on their faces, Yang's the biggest of all. "Ruby and Penny are crushing on each other! So cute~!"
Penny frowned. "I do not wish to crush Ruby nor do I believe that she would do the same to me."
"Penny, to have a crush," started Blake. "Is to be attracted romantically to that person. The feelings you described sound similar."
"What does one do if they find another attractive? Mate with them?"
Weiss pinched the bridge of her nose. "We do not immediately mate with someone because we find them appealing. It's normal to date someone to get to know them and let your relationship build naturally from there."
Penny nodded. "I see, but isn't it counterproductive to date someone of the same gender? Reproduction is impossible between the two, thus nullifying the need to mate."
Yang, to the other girls' surprise, answered. "A relationship isn't about mating. It's about wanting to be with a person you like and wanting to make them happy like they make you happy. Gender shouldn't matter because happiness is all that should. Even if kids are impossible, if you love the person, then it's worth it in the end."
Weiss blinked in surprise. "Yang Xiao Long... That was deep for a blond biker like you."
Ruby smiled at her sister, when a hand on her shoulder caused her to look at Penny. "Is the anything you need, Penny."
Green eyes glinted happily. "Yes. I would like to engage in a relationship with you, Ruby. Somehow, it feels right to ask you. My feelings are so confusing, but for some reason, I think this is what I want."
"Penny..."
A loud voice rang out. "So, little red and carrot top are lesbos?! Hahahahahahaha!"
Blake growled, her bow twitching. "Cardin..."
End...
A few things: Ginger... I have a sister who calls herself a ginger so I kind of adapted that from her. Also, connotation v. denotation. Connotation is how the words is interpreted. Denotation is the clear cut definition as found in the dictionary. Lastly, I'm aware that Cardin has orange hair. He can still call Penny carrot top, cuz he's an asshole. A hypocritical asshole. Also, Tyson was their to answer the question. He does not play the same role he did in BCB. I am trying to cut down on OC's, so don't bite my head off. Au revoir! This is GMG, Signing off!
