What's up? Yadda yadda unimportant stuff, shit no one cares about, here's the update.
Blake POV
"That was Blaine?" Weiss asked after she was gone. "She's. . .kind of a spoiled brat." She turned to us with wide blue eyes. "Was that what I was like when you met me?" We all nodded and said yes at the same time. Except Ruby. She shook her head.
"Nah, I bet she's much less rich." Yang made a pfffft sound as she tried to keep her laughter in. Weiss frowned.
"Maybe. But she did look kind of familiar, and the last name Archer does ring a bell." She pondered this for a while, then Ren stood.
"I'm putting my tray away." Nora stacked hers on top of his and grinned.
"Take mine too." He sighed.
"While I'm here, is there anyone-" In the blink of an eye, he was holding a stack of trays. "Yeah, I thought so." He grunted under the load. Cali stood and took half of them, adding hers and Anna's.
"I'll help." She said. Or, I think that's what she said. She's so quiet she could have said: 'Let's kill them all and hide the bodies' and none of us would have been the wiser. But Ren smiled and nodded, thanking her, so that doesn't seem likely.
As they left, Anna watched them, a mischievous smile on her face. She stood quickly and took Cali's chair and moved it to another table before settling in to wait for her return.
When they arrived back at the table, Cali stared at the spot where her chair used to be, confused.
"What happened?" Anna grimaced convincingly.
"Ooh, Professor Ozpin dropped by a minute ago and said that your chair privileges have been revoked." Cali's brow furrowed, but nobody contradicted her. We were all too busy wondering if she'd fall for it. She did.
"What'd I do?" She wondered quietly. Anna sighed.
"He didn't say. And speaking of things he didn't say, while he said your chair privs were revoked, he said absolutely nothing about you lap privileges." Oh. So that's her angle. I thought wryly.
Cali chewed her bottom lip thoughtfully, and Anna continued.
"So for the sake of my bestie, I will sacrifice my own lap." She patted her thighs and held out her arms like she was expecting a hug, gesturing for her to come closer.
Cali hesitated, then inched slowly closer. Unable to bear it any longer, Yang vaulted across the table and snatched Cali out of Anna's grasp.
"Hey!" Anna protested. Yang hugged Cali close and pressed the girl's head to her chest.
"It's okay, Cali, Mama Yang's here. I won't let that dirty old man do Anna-thing to you." We all groaned, and Yang cackled at her own joke. Cali, clearly over her surprise, nuzzled closer to Yang's chest, the very picture of a child in her mother's embrace.
To say that I was jealous would be a massive fucking understatement.
Nora hopped up and snatched her from Yang. Cali didn't seem to play favorites, cuddling up to Nora as well. Oh well, I guess any pair'll do.
"Don't listen to her, Cali, Yang's as perverted as Anna." Nora declared.
"Hey!" Anna said again.
"Silence, fiend!" Yang cried dramatically, stabbing a finger at her." Pyrrha pulled back from Jaune long enough to say:
"You guys should probably calm down, people are staring." Nora and Yang shared a sarcastic look and rolled their eyes.
"I could say the same to you." Yang said drily. Nora nodded.
"You've barely come up for air since lunch started." The couple turned beet red, and neither of them voiced any more objections. Anna retrieved Cali's chair and pouted, crossing her arms.
"It was such a good plan too." Yang snorted.
"That wouldn't have worked on Anna -one." She looked around at us, wiggling her eyebrows as we groaned. Anna looked at me.
"Is she always like this?" I shrugged.
"Yeah, pretty much." Yang wagged her finger at me.
"Don't Blake me divorce you." I rolled my eyes.
"Go ahead and try it. Who'd put up with your terrible puns?" She waved her hand dismissively.
"Irrelevant!" I shrugged again, the epitome of nonchalance.
"Fine." Her eyes widened.
"What? No! You're. . .You're like the Yin to my Yang! Who will Ruby my boobies?" Another collective groan.
"Case in point." I muttered. Ruby opened her mouth, then reconsidered speaking at a look from Weiss. She swallowed her mouthful of cookie and said:
"Boobies aside, Yang might shrivel and die if she isn't with Blake all the time." I grinned and shook my head ruefully.
"It's entirely possible." Weiss gave a short laugh.
"Are you kidding? Yang wouldn't be able to tie her shoes without Blake." Yang slapped a hand over her heart and feigned hurt.
"Aw, that's just Weiss-cold." We all chuckled.
"Okay, that was a pretty good one." Ren smirked. Weiss obviously didn't agree.
"No, it really wasn't. You'd better find something else to make a pun out of." Yang shrugged.
"Weiss stop now? I'm just getting warmed up!" I smothered a giggle as Weiss shot me a glare.
"Sorry." I said, even though I really wasn't.
"Oh no! I feel a massive Schnee coming on!" Weiss groaned, but couldn't hold back her growing smile.
We continued trading jokes and laughs until the lunch period ended and it was time to go back to class.
Anna POV
In Applied Combat class (A/N: I don't know what the hell it's really called) it looked like we'd be doing more sparring, though this time it was team sparring. I grinned because I was itching to grab Siegfried and do some damage. Cali examined her hands carefully and then looked at me.
"Ready, partner?" She asked, as she always did. And I grinned, as I always did.
"Let's completely fuck their shit up, partner."
And that we did. By the time I'd dropped Sieg back into its holster, several of the other kids in our class were trembling. I held my fist out to Cali, and she tapped each of my knuckles with her corresponding finger, as was our custom, win or lose.
I threw an arm over her shoulders and breathed deep.
"You smell that Cal?" She glanced over at me, a slight smile on her lips.
"Sweat?" I shook my head, giggling.
"Uh, no. That's the smell of you and me being badasses." She looked over her shoulder.
"What's wrong with it?" I stared at her until she smiled and giggled. I heaved an exaggerated sigh.
"Don't do that to me, I thought you were serious." She wrapped an arm around my waist and kept pace with me. "I think Nora and Yang have rubbed off on you." I said, grinning. She looked up at me, eyes pleading.
"Can we sit there tomorrow?" I considered that.
"I hope so, those guys are entertaining." She nodded.
"Yang hugs nice." I felt a pang of something (jealousy?) in my chest, but hip bumped her playfully.
"I bet you think so." She regarded me carefully.
"Meaning?" I smiled and shook my head, evading the question. She scrutinized me for a second more, then dropped it.
"You were fantastic out there, partner." She smiled bashfully.
"Really?" I nodded.
"Those team ACER motherfuckers didn't even know what hit them." We laughed and fell silent for a stretch. "What do you want to do this weekend?" She pursed her lips, a pensive look on her face, then she shrugged.
"Dunno." I smiled and shook my head.
"I was thinking of going down to Vale for some shopping or whatever." Said a voice on my other side. I nodded, deep in thought.
"There's an idea." Then I blinked rapidly and turned. Yang smiled at me.
"Sup?" I shook my head
"Where did you come from?" She grinned slyly.
"Well, around sixteen years ago, my mom and dad decided that they wanted to-"
"Yeeeeah," I interrupted. "TMI. I was asking how long you've been walking with us." She shrugged amiably.
"That's an entirely different question." I snorted.
"Point taken." A couple of girls walking in the other direction passed us, talking and squealing.
"Yeah, there's a concert this weekend! OMG I can't wait, Gavin is sooooooooo hot!" Yang froze and spun toward them.
"Are you talking about what I think you're talking about?" The girl nodded enthusiastically, clearly recognizing a fellow fan-girl.
"Yeah, the Achieve Men concert tomorrow!" Yang turned toward us, a gleam in her eyes. Ferb, I know what we're gonna do tomorrow, I thought to myself. Cali puffed out an adorable sigh.
"I'll go get my earplugs."
Woot! Another chapter done, and uploaded. I loved writing this one. I tried to fit all the puns I could into one scene. I'd have to say my personal favorite is: 'Weiss stop now?' On another note, I feel I should mention that this story will take longer than my other one to get started, simply because I'm trying to give depth to my OCs in the form of backstories and what other characters think of them. Plus, I was initially just going to make this just a story about Anna and Cali settling into Beacon, so because of that I have a bunch of things that I want to happen, mostly before the action officially starts. Siegfried will be described in the next chapter. And yes, I did omit Cali's weapon (or weapons) purposefully. Oh, and I might reveal their semblances next chapter also. Until next time, folks.
