Chapter 4: Kelly plays match maker!
Time: O900
Location: Beacon, Saturday Morning
Kelly woke up with a yawn and felt something on her forehead. She pulls off a sticky-note. It was from Marylin.
Sticky-note: Hey Kelly, I turned off your alarm on Friday because today starts the weekend so take today and tomorrow to relax a little okay? I'll be with Ruby and Yang today if you need me.
Kelly sighs seeing it was 9 in the morning. This must be the first time she and her team has slept in. it felt nice to have slept in for so long but since she didn't have anything to do, she thought it would be a perfect time to get Marylin and John together. She got up noticing at her team—who were still sleeping—also had a stick-note on their forehead. It was either Marylin that did it or she had Ruby do it. Kelly took her shower knowing it would probably wake up her team but didn't mind. They were going to sleep the whole day away at this rate. But not like that was a total bad thing. After getting dressed in casual clothing that Marylin had felt for them she walks out noticing her team is slowly waking up.
Fred: *yawns* What time is it?
Kelly: O900.
Linda: *jumps up* Wait what!?
Kelly: *laughs* Look at the sticky-note on your forehead.
The rest of the team pulls off their notes and reads them. Kelly walks over to her desk and pulls out a pen and paper. Brainstorming time!
Kelly: *thinking* Let's see what could, I do to set John and Marylin up on a date. *starts writing things down* Sending them together on a mission. No that is too Spartan. It needs to be something romantic. Maybe tell them to meet with me somewhere? Yes! That will do. But where…? *pulls out her scroll* Hmm… the park looks nice. The weather will be a problem. How about a trip to Vale to see the sights?
John notices Kelly doing something out of the corner of his eye. He shakes his head a little before Fred walks out and he goes in to take his shower. By the time he comes out Kelly is gone, with Fred and Linda arguing. John sighs and leaves the room letting his team do whatever they want. He choses to find Marylin and her nieces if they haven't left already. If he can't find them then he'll train and find something to do until they come back. He walks down the hall noticing that he was going to pass Fire-Team Osiris. Maybe Locke would be interested in a friendly spar. He knocks on the door seeing Tanaka being the one to open it.
John: Morning Tanaka.
Tanaka: Morning.
John: Is Locke awake?
Tanaka: Locke!
Locke: John?
John: Morning Locke, I was hoping we could spar today.
Locke: Sure. Tanaka, you and Vale will be able to take care of Buck, right?
Vale: DON'T WORRY WE GOT HIM!
Buck: Vale stop yelling!
John: What's up with him?
Locke: Had a drinking contest with Qrow.
John: Oh.
Locke: Let's go.
John and Locke walk down the hall either noticing that Kelly was talking with Oobleck.
John: *thinking* I wonder what Marylin is doing.
Time: O1200
Location: Vale, Some restaurant
Marylin, Ruby, and Yang sat down at a restaurant eating and talking about many things. Ruby and Yang told Marylin about everything she missed. Marylin would tell them about all the things she did and told them about Cortana.
Yang: Cortana sounds like a jerk.
Marylin: She was nice until that happened.
Ruby: Don't worry Auntie Marylin, *trying to sound heroic* I and team RWBY will defeat her.
Marylin: *laughs* I feel safer already.
Ruby smiles and giggles while Yang takes a slip of her soda then smiles at Ruby. The girls got their food and started eating while they talk about whatever came to mind. Marylin couldn't help but laugh as Ruby explained the initiation she went through. Yang admits to stealing Blake's book Ninja's of Love after Ruby had to use the bathroom. Marylin sighs and doesn't ask as she brings up a new topic. When Ruby comes back Marylin pays for the check and they start making their way back to Beacon.
Time: O800
Location: Beacon courtyard
Marylin had gotten a text to meet her and John at the Beacon statue. Marylin didn't think anything of it as she waited for Kelly and John. About a few minutes later John walks up.
Marylin: I knew that would look good on you.
John: Thanks, Marylin, but you didn't have to do all that.
Marylin: After all you've been in, you and our team need this.
John nods with a smile when the two get a group text from Kelly.
Kelly's text massage: Enjoy your date! ;)
Marylin and John freeze blushing badly. Oh, Kelly was going to get it when they got to the dorms.
Marylin: Damnit Kelly!
John just looks away as there is an awkward silence.
Marylin: So, what did you do today?
John: I trained with Locke for most of the morning. Then I and the others played King of the hill.
Marylin: *fake offended gasp* You all played without me?
John: You where out with your nieces. We didn't want to get in the way of that.
Marylin: Fine. Still the King?
John: Yep.
Marylin: Nora probably would have kicked you ass. From what Ruby told me she likes being Queen of the Castle.
John: Maybe I'll have her, and team play against me next time.
Marylin: I have an idea, why not do that on Monday? Put teams against one another and over wins gets to challenge you.
John: I'll bring it up with the others if you haven't killed Kelly first.
Marylin: *giggles* don't worry. I'll just tell Tanaka about that one thing Kelly did.
John realizes then laughs.
John: You're evil.
Marylin: Yeah, I know but you love me anyway, right?
John: *light blush* of course I do. *in a soft tone* maybe more then a close friend.
Marylin: What was that?
John: Nothing.
Marylin: You said something.
John: Did not.
Marylin: Did.
John: Not.
Marylin: Did.
John: Not.
Marylin: Did.
John: Not.
Marylin: Did.
John: Not.
Marylin: Did.
John: Not.
Marylin: Did.
John: Not.
Marylin: Not?
John: Did. *realizes* Damnit Marylin.
Marylin laughs cutely as John glares at her wanting to shout but knew better. She would use her semblance at any time.
Marylin: So, what did you say?
John: I didn't say anything thing.
Marylin only rolls her eyes amused by John's reaction. They start walking and talking about what came to mind. Marylin told him all about Summer and what Ruby and Yang had told her. John told her about things he didn't mention while he was separated from Blue Team. The moon was in the sky and John was a little worried seeing how it had broken off. But, Marylin had reassured him that it was just the way the moon was. After a while they walk back to the dorms. They stop at her door. She catches him off guard with a kiss on the cheek.
Marylin: See you tomorrow John. *closes the door*
John stood there for a moment wishing he had kissed her on the lips. Like he wanted but the kiss we got from her on the check would have to do. When John enters the room, he notices that Kelly is nowhere to be seen. Fred and Linda are both sleeping. In the same bed. That had to be Kelly's doing somehow. John went to the bathroom took a shower and got changed into pjs. He then walks back out and went to sleep.
Time: The next day, O1000
Location: Vale central park
Kelly did it once again. She was able to get John and Marylin on a date, again. Why was she trying hush this? Was it because she knew the two where going to be busy next week? Probably. John was looking at the stores noticing a gun store. When they peeked through the window they saw a familiar red hooded girl. Marylin smiles as she walks in knowing Ruby has her headphones on.
Marylin: Hi Ruby!
Ruby: ACK! Auntie that isn't funny! *embarrassed*
Marylin: Sorry I couldn't resist! *giggles* What are you reading?
Ruby: Gun magazine. I want to see if I can make any improvements to Crescent Rose.
John: Improvements?
Ruby: Yep!
John shakes his head as Marylin coos at Ruby and reads with her. John walks around the store looking at the new guns. Too bad he couldn't buy any of them. He didn't have enough money for that. But he was making a mental list in his head and would come back. Hopefully the guns he wanted would still be there.
Marylin: John you coming?
John: Coming.
Marylin: See you back at Beacon.
Ruby: Bye!
Marylin and John wave back to Ruby as they continue their forced date.
Marylin: I don't see why you stayed. You could have just left and yet you're still here.
John: I could say the about you. It would be rude of me to leave you here alone. Even if you did find Ruby in that store.
Marylin: Good point. *holds his hand*
They didn't see Kelly, Linda, or Fred spying on them. Fred smirks seeing John hold Marylin's head.
Fred: He's going to do it.
Linda: He better.
Team RWBY appears.
Ruby: What's going on?
Fred: Kelly is trying to get your aunt with John.
Wiess: *intrigued but doesn't really care* Is it working?
Kelly: So far.
Yang: Come on Professor John you can do it!
Blake: Let's hope so.
John: You know I always did see you more than close friend. *gives her hand a squeeze*
Marylin: Really?
John: Really. *stops at a shade tree* I've always loved you.
Marylin: *smiles* I've always loved you too John.
John leans down and kisses Marylin on the lips. Kelly and the others where far enough away so neither could hear them cheering.
Ruby: Does this mean I can start calling John, Uncle John?
Rest of Blue Team: Yes.
Yang: Can I and Ruby call you guys our aunts and uncle?
Rest of Blue Team: Yes.
Wiess: At least your family is more functional then mine.
Ruby: If you want you can be a part of our family.
Yang: Same with you Blake.
WB: We'll think about it.
RY: YAY!
John pulls away from Marylin. She smiles as they continue to walk around the park, hand in hand. They notice Qrow and Buck while passing a bar.
Marylin: Another drinking contest?
John: Buck probably wanted a rematch. *chuckle*
Marylin: Well at least Vale isn't here. She recorded him last time.
John: She did?
Marylin: Yep. It was bad. She should me the video before I went to find my nieces yesterday.
John chuckles as leads Marylin down the sidewalk.
Time: O700
Location: Beacon Academy
Kelly had reserved them a table for two at a restaurant. It was a window seat it was a beautiful view but what they didn't know that Kelly was watching them. While she was helping Tanaka find Buck who had ran off drunk… John and Marylin had just gotten back and where walking to her dorm. Marylin was leaning on John's shoulder as they walked. The day had really gotten to her. Even if all they did was walk and talk. John lays her down in her bed. When John was about to leave she grabbed his hand.
Marylin: *barely awake* Stay.
John: *smiles* Okay. *lays down with her kissing her cheek*
Little did they know that Kelly, Linda, and Fred where all peeking in smiling at the new couple. They close the door and turn in themselves.
