A/N: Thanks to 'keys of fate' for supporting me in this series. Sorry this toke long since I was working on the basis of my solo RWBY fanfic (since it will center on an OC) and, WORST OF ALL, suffering from writer's block (and schoolwork). But here is the next chapter! Discliamer: I DO NOT own any of the shows used. They belong to Rooster Teeth (RWBY), Disney (Jessie), Nickolodeon (Sam & Cat) and AMC (Breaking Bad).
Chapter 4: Short Morning
Earth, New York, The Ross Penthouse, Morning
Ruby Rose, sleeping on the couch, opens her eyes to be greeted by Luke Ross, an adopted son and troublemaker. "Good Morning, beautiful," he says. Ruby is surprised by this awkward greeting. "Errr... Good... Morning," is all Ruby managed to say as she sits up. "Why hasn't anybody woken up yet," she asks Luke which he answers, "I just wanted to be the first to tell you good morning to your first day with us. Name's Luke by the way." Ruby appears to appreciate this, "Well, thanks and good morning to you too. I'm Ruby by the way." A few moments later, Bertram, the fat and irresponsible butler, comes in the living room. "Well today is a nice day before the kids.." he stops upon seeing Ruby. "Who's the new girl," Bertram asks. Luke begins to speak, "Well, Bertram, this is Ruby. Ruby, this is..." "Ya, I really didn't care," Bertram interrupts as he walks off. "How rude," Ruby says, feeling offended. Luke says, "Yeah, you better get used to it, cause he's always like that." "NOT ALWAYS!" Bertram shouts while in the kitchen. Ruby then says to Luke, "Wow, he really needs a hug." "NO I DON'T!" Bertram shouts once again but sounds as if he wants to cry.
Zuri Ross, the adopted daughter and youngest of the kids, comes down the stairs upon being woken up by Bertram's shouting. "What in the heck is going on down... oh, Good Morning." Ruby also says, "Good Morning." "I'm Zuri, the nice kid." Luke mutters to himself, "Yeah, right." "Hey, Zuri. My name is Ruby," Ruby says to Zuri. "Is that why your hair is red? And wear red?" Ruby answers, "Yeah, also like Crescent Rose here." "Crescant wha..," Luke and Zuri asks in unison. Ruby picks up her weapon. "Ohhhhhh...," Luke and Zuri understand what she meant. The next to come down is Ravi Ross, the other adopted son, along with his pet lizard, Ms. Kipling. Ravi says to Ruby, "Good Morning." Before she could say it back, she sees the lizard and screams as she falls to the ground out of fright. "Just like Jessie did," Ravi said pointing out the coincidence, "don't worry, Kipling here won't hurt you." Ruby gets up and slowly calms down, "Well, it was the size of th..er... Kipling that startled me. I'm Ruby." "And I'm Ravi," says Ravi as he and Ruby shake hands.
Suddenly, Jessie is seen running downstairs looking worried, "What happened, who was screaming?" Ruby confesses, "That was me, sorry about that." Jessie notices Kipling with Ravi, "Yeah, I also had that same reaction. So, I'm guessing you've met everyone except the parents. They are off somewhere in L.A doing movies and stuff." Ruby starts to remember her parents, a thought which makes her feel a bit sad. Jessie asks her, "What about you, where are your parents." "Well," Ruby starts to feel sad, "They are...well." Jessie notices her mistake, "Oh, crap. My bad I didn't know that..." Ruby accepts her apology, "It's okay. You wouldn't have known. My sister, Yang, is the only thing close to be considered a... guardian." "But where is she," Emma says as she just appeared out of nowhere. "Wow, where do you come from," Ruby asks Emma. "Yeah, I sometimes do that. I don't know why. Anyway, my question?" Ruby responds, "The problem is... I don't know where she is now. She, along with me were caught in the potion." "What potion," the kids and Jessie ask. "Oh right so here is what happened."
After Ruby's short explanation of the potion incident...
"...and that's why we ended up here." However, Jessie lets out the most obvious question, "Where are you from?" "Wait," Ruby begins to asks, "where am I anyway?" Luke answers her question, "You're in New York City, New York. Here in the United States of America!" Ruby is confused since she has never heard of those places...ever." Ravi finishes, "You're on the planet that we call, Earth." Ruby eyes widen with shock as she finds out, she is no longer on her home planet. "WHAAAAAA..." "Uh oh," Jessie says ,"I think she's gonna blow!" "Ruby panics, "But...then...Weiss..." Zuri notices she said someone's name, "Hey, who's Weiss?" Emma answers her, "Weiss stands for 'white' or 'know' in German. I'm guessing it's a new-it-all kind of girl." Everyone looks at her (except Ruby who's breathing rapidly). "I looked it up," says Emma as she shows her phone. Ruby is now panicking, "But now...them...Blake...Yang...I..uhhhh..." She suddenly faints on the couch. Zuri, without speaking, goes to the kitchen to get some cold water. "Who's Blake and Yang," asks Luke. Jessie answers him, "Yang is her sister and..." "Wait, she has sister," Luke says as he runs to the balcony but is stopped by Emma. "Don't think about it! We tried yesterday and didn't see a thing." Zuri comes in with the cold water and approaches the unconsious Ruby. "CLEAR," Zuri shouts as she then splashes the cold water in Ruby's face. Ruby suddenly comes to life as she screams, "COLD," and jumps up and back on couch. "Uhhhh...thanks, Zuri." Zuri replies, "You're welcome." Ruby sits up as well as grab her Crescent Rose and puts it on her back. Jessie asks, "Is there anything else you want to talk about." "Well there is a lot to talk about," says Ruby as her stomach rumbles, "but I'm hungry." "Yeah, I'm gonna cook some breakfast," Jessie responds, "we can talk about ourselves, if that's okay with you." "Sure," Ruby replies, "by the way, do you have any cookies?"
During breakfast, Ruby talks to Jessie and the Rosses about her home world, her sister, team RWBY, Beacon Academy, Dust, Faunus, the creatures of Grimm and a bit of her life story (she leaves out the White Fang). The kids then talk about how Jessie ended up with them and a bit of their history and misadventures. Ruby replies, "Wow, you guys had nearly as much fun as I had." Ravi responds, "Yeah but it has a bit less of monster killing." Jessie speaks, "So, you are a "huntress in training"? Just like your team?" Ruby answers, "Yep!" Ruby speaks again, " So Jessie..you and that doorman were a thing." Jessie just glares at her. "OK!, forget I asked. (pause) Please don't hurt me!" Emma ends this awkward moment, "Okay, since today we have no school, where should we go?" Bertram is shocked, "WHAT, TODAY IS FRIDAY!" "IT'S SATURDAY!" Jessie and the kids corrected. Bertram just fainted in response. "Wow, he really wants you gone," Ruby says. Zuri in response says, "Yeah, but he'll get lonely. And I have no idea where to go?" Ravi speaks, "What about...hmmm...yep, no idea where to go today." Luke says, "How about we just walk around town. You know, to show her the city." The phone suddenly started to ring. "I got it," Jessie says as she goes and picks it up. "Hello," Jessie asks. On the receiver is a female voice, "Hello, who's this?" "This is Jessie Prescott..."
"Jessie, have you seen a girl named Ruby Rose?" Jessie's jaw dropped, "Who is this?"
An few minutes earlier..
Los Angeles, Apartment 22,Morning
Yang Xiao Long wakes up from the sofa and sits up. She turns her head left only to be greeted by a smiling Cat Valentine in her pajamas. "ECK!" Yang jumps an inch in the air. Cat apologizes, "My bad. Good morning by the way." "Cat, please don't do that to me. You could give me a heart attack. And good morning to you too," Yang says, accepting her apology. Sam Puckett walks past them, in her casual attire, "Good morning you two." "Good Morning," Cat and Yang said in unison. Sam asks , "You guys want to eat something?" "Sure," both said. Sam tosses them two granola bars each. Cat glares at Sam as Yang eats her granola bar. Sam responds, "Come on, we can't make a big breakfast. We have to find her sister." Cat is surprised by this sudden decision, "Wait, when did we ever say we would go with her?" Sam replies, "Uhh... Right Now." "But we can't just leave! What about grandma? She'll be worried sick." Yang agrees with Cat, "She's right, Sam. Besides, I don't want you two to be in trouble." Sam responds, "All the more reason to go." ARE YOU INSANE," Yang and Cat say, shocked at Sam's response. "Cat, I told you, all we do is the some darn thing we do everyday." Cat replies, "Yeah, but I didn't say to go out on an adventure. And since when did you want to ever be on an adventure?" Sam answers with, "Right when Yang landed on our home." Yang comes into this argument, "Look you two, I can't let you go with me. Who knows where we'll end up. I don't want you to end up arrested or worse." Cat asks, "What do you mean by that?" Sam answers her question, which she should of not, "She means we'll probably die." In a millisecond, Cat faints once again. Yang glares at her. "What," Sam says to Yang. "I'll say it again... YOU ARE NOT COMING WITH ME!" "Oh Come on, what do you expect? Your sister to just knock on the door?"
The phone rings and Cat suddenly comes to life, "I GOT IT!" She runs to the phone, "Hello this is Sam & Cat's Super Rockin' Fun-Time Babysitting Service..." "That name is soooo long," this came from Yang to which Sam agrees, "I know right." Cat ignores them as she hears a young girl's voice, "Who is this I'm speaking to?" Cat replies, "This is Cat Valentine...Who are you?" "Cat, have you seen someone named Yang?" Cat looked shocked, "Wait, who is this and what do you want with Yang?" Yang looked at Cat in a confused and shocked look. " It's Blake. Belladonna. And I'm a friend of hers." Cat called Yang, "Yang, it's Blake." "BLAKE!" Yang ran to Cat and grabbed the phone, "Blake, is that you? Where are you?"
