Here's another. Enjoy!

It was a quiet morning in the dorms after the incident with the White Fang. Penny and Blitz hadn't said a word to each other ever since they returned together last night. He had purposely ignored her during their walk home and when he did answer, he replied sharply, even harshly to her.

...(The night before)...

"So how was your day Blitz?" Penny asked trying to lighten the mood on the way back from the incident with the White Fang. .

Silence.. But Penny took it in stride.

"Did anything interesting happen to you?" she tried again to get him to speak up.

Once again though she was left without a reply. It didn't stop her from asking again though.

"Did you-"

This time she was interrupted by the sharp voice of Blitz.

"Could you just be quiet for one second?" he spat out, giving her a nasty look, one that she didn't expect.

"I-um ok…" Penny whispered back.

The rest of the trip was silent.

...(Present Time)...

Ciel and Teal, their other two teammates tried their best to lighten up the mood but all their efforts seemed to be in vain.

It was bothering Penny more than it should, for better or for worse she kept her mouth shut while lying on her bed. Eyes staring into the nothingness of the ceiling, there was no life in her.

Blitz wasn't oblivious to it either. As he sat on his own bunk across Penny's he started thinking and realizing that maybe he did act a bit… more like a jerk than he normally was last night. He had his reasons to be ticked off at his new partner but perhaps his temper went a bit too far.

It wasn't like he enjoyed seeing Penny sulk like this, he just.. wasn't good with people. To be honest he wasn't even angry at all anymore, he just had no idea how to confront someone, or even start a decent conversation. For crying out loud, he had never even interacted with this much teens his age until just a few days ago.

Blitz wanted to fix this. It wasn't efficient or productive to have two teammates not communicate with each other. But what to do..? What to say..? This shouldn't be a problem for most people so why was it for him?

While scratching the back of his head and closing his eyes Blitz came up with the conclusion that anything was better than silence at this point. A voice in his head was just nagging him to say something.. Anything to relieve the girl in front of him from whatever she was feeling.

And so Blitz said the first thing that came to mind.

"I'm hungry.. Gonna head to the cafeteria. Stay here if that's what you want."

It only took him a second to realize just how bad that sounded. His natural monotone voice and expressionless face didn't help either. It went much better in his head.

It was hard to tell how Penny took took it. She responded timidly, nothing like her usual self. She looked at him for a split second with a face of distant melancholy then proceeded to turn her eyes to the hardwood floor beneath her. She mumbled under her breath.

"OK…"

Not knowing what to do next, Blitz exited the dorm as he let out an internal sigh of frustration. He closed the door gently behind him to avoid doing any more damage and proceeded to make his way towards the cafeteria. It was true that he was hungry.. He really intended to ask Penny to come with him, but he didn't want to make it seem like he was forcing her, so instead…

"Stay here if that's what you want."

Blitz wanted to smash his own head through a concrete wall as he recalled his own words.

…

In the cafeteria, Blitz sat alone. He had picked the most inconspicuous table in the far corner and tried his best to avoid eye contact with the rest of the students.

His team was nowhere to be seen, Penny was probably still out of it and the two Soleil siblings were planning to go shopping in the city to prepare for the days ahead.

Speaking of which, the first official day of class, or in this case the Vytal Tournament preparation period starts tomorrow which meant he had to resolve his partner issues today.

As he silently ate the collection of assorted meats on his plate, Blitz tried to formulate a solution in his head. How to connect with Penny? It seemed like a simple question, but for him it was a riddle for the ages. He was used to smashing his problems away, crushing them until they bothered him no longer. What to do..? What to say..?

Suddenly he heard a scream coming from somewhere around the cafeteria that got him on edge.

"Food fiiiight!"

Blitz got a bad feeling about this..

He looked up and saw a growing commotion of students fleeing from flying trays of canteen food. Soup, noodles, veggies, and even whole turkeys were being flung all over the place.

And the people responsible… "Oh what the heck.." Blitz thought to himself as he witnessed the unraveling brawl in front of his eyes.

He recognised Jaune first, by now he was probably for better or worse the person he had spent the most time with aside from Penny. He was allied with his teammates who Blitz had been introduced to when he and Jaune first met. Nora and Ren was it?

The champion of Mistral: Pyrrha Nikos was easily recognisable. He was too exhausted to notice her the other day, but after taking a close look, he was sure it was her. It wasn't too hard to confirm, after all.. Blitz secretly loved the sweet crunch of Pumpkin Pete's Cereal. A secret he shall keep until the day he dies.

Jaune's team was fighting what looked to be the girls he had bumped into the other day in an all out food war. Penny's new "friends" which consisted of team RWBY.

"I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!" The girl named Nora stood atop a pile of stacked tables mocking her foes in a sing song voice.

Ruby retaliated by squishing a carton of milk "Justice will be swift, justice will be painful, it will be delicious!" She rallied her team into battle.

A very long and messy battle.

…

After Blitz left for the cafeteria, Penny decided to wander off into the halls of Beacon, as she paced around the school she began whispering to herself.

"He's probably mad that I left without telling him.. Again.."

Penny had never seen anyone look at her that way before. Having her father, or even General Ironwood scold her was one thing, but Blitz looked like he wanted to rip out her circuits last night. Maybe she was exaggerating but that's what it felt like. The fact that he was keeping quiet for most of the morning was more than enough to solidify the idea that he was still mad.

"He probably doesn't even want to see me right now…" She continued muttering quietly. "What do I do..? How can I fix this..?"

Penny hadn't met a lot of people her age until just a few days ago. Most of her previous companions were comprised of Atlas scientists and her father so she wasn't the best at dealing with other people and relationships.

She recalled how Blitz kept ignoring her night and how he refused to even talk with her. Perhaps she was being a bit overbearing without even realizing it the past few days.

The situation seemed impossible to deal with, how can she fix things if he doesn't even want to see her in the first place.

Suddenly a thought popped in her head, she recalled one of her conversations with Ruby yesterday.

"I don't have a lot of friends.. But if I did, I would want them to talk to me about things."

Those were her own words..

She stopped walking to ponder on her realization.

She knew what she had to do all along... She decided right there and then that it didn't matter if Blitz didn't want to see her. If they don't talk to each other then nothing would change. It might make him all angry again but it's better than things staying the way they are now.

Like a switch had been flipped in her brain, Penny began jogging towards the cafeteria, feeling butterflies in her tummy as she went.

...

At first, Blitz tried to sit through it..

He wasn't done eating, so in the midst of turkey gauntlets, and watermelon hammers, bread swords, and swordfish rapiers, leek knives, and sausage whips, he tried to bear with the chaos and finish his meal.

But by the time hundreds of soda cans were flying in the air along with chairs, tables, and Jaune's team. All due to a whirlwind created by the speedy semblance of Ruby Rose, Blitz had decided that enough was enough.

"Rrrrgh.. I don't have time for this…" Blitz grumbled as he made his way towards the exit, still thinking of a way to fix things with his partner.

Right when he was about to leave however, he felt something smack against the back of his head. It didn't hurt but it was soft, creamy, and was all over his hair.

Blitz raised a finger to take a scoop of the substance on his head and examined the white mess. He sniffed it and even had a taste..

Ice cream.. Vanilla..

Blitz slowly turned around, a dark expression covering his face, hands clenched, and eyes narrowed.

He let out a low growl as soon as he saw the quivering young man standing a few feet away holding a tub of ice cream and a spoon to fling it with..

"Freakin Jaune.." Blitz whispered to himself. He had just forgiven the boy for the chocolate incident and now this..?

Jaune Arc was frozen in place. His face was all scrunched up and cringing hard like he had accidentally sworn in front of . The rest of the people present in the cafeteria had gone silent as well, all eyes were on the two of them.

"H-hey there Blitz, haha didn't see you there buddy!" Jaune began sweating as he swallowed his present saliva.

Without saying a word, Blitz moved his hand towards an untouched watermelon. It didn't take long for everyone to figure out what was about to happen.

"W-wait I was aiming for Ruby I swear!" Jaune tried his best to delay the inevitable but Blitz paid him no mind as he clamped down and dug his fingers in the watermelon with one hand. Effortlessly he raised it up in the air and prepared to heave it at the poor blonde with all his might.

Jaune on the other hand was still trying to talk him out of it.

"Are you crazy? That thing can kill me!" Jaune put his hands out in front of him as he attempted to block the fruit as big as his head. Fortunately for him nothing would come.

At the last moment as Blitz released his grip and threw the watermelon, Penny comes through the door and tries to catch his partner's attention.

"Blitz! I've been looking for you!" She cried as she ran towards her partner and right into a watermelon flying in the air at a hundred miles per hour..

It smacked her right in the face as it shattered into a fruity mess of seeds, pulp, and juice all over her clothes.

She took it quite well actually, only slightly flinching at the impact that may have knocked other people out cold. She stood still after the hit, eyes wide open and rapidly blinking as trying to comprehend what just happened.

Blitz stood still as well, internally screaming and cursing his bad luck. He had spent the whole morning trying to figure out a way to patch things up with her and he ends up pelting her with a watermelon. For a brief moment, he considered digging up a hole to stay under for the rest of time.

Blitz tried to immediately apologize to minimize the damage. "Penny.. I am so sor-"

Before he could finish his sentence however, an entire tub's worth of vanilla ice cream was sent flying to his face, covering the front portion of his head with creamy white goodness.

Giggles were now echoing throughout the room, and the source? None other than Penny herself, who had thrown the ice cream after grabbing it from Jaune's hands. Giggles escalated into laughter and soon enough Penny was wiping the tears from her eyes in amusement. Something about the famous Atlesian hero looking like a snowman just resonated with her funny bone. Honestly until now, Penny had not even known she could laugh this hard. Most of the time, she never even understood the jokes people told her.

Blitz began licking the vanilla near his mouth, once again he was the victim of food assault. This time however, he wasn't the least bit irritated. The sight of his partner finally smiling and letting loose was enough to raise his spirits. Even if he was covered in cold desserts..

He started wiping the dessert off his face when he felt a hand tapping his shoulder

At that moment he turned around and saw Jaune smiling at him and Penny.

"I'd hate to ruin this moment but.. you do realize that you're not alone right?" The blonde boy whispered in their direction.

Blitz took a second look around the area to find Teams RWBY and JNPR silently observing.

"Tch.. Shut up.." Blitz replied as he quickly walked out of the cafeteria in an attempt to hide a growing blush. "Come Penny." he said urging his partner to follow and she quickly skipped right behind him.

As soon as they were out of sight, Ruby Rose moved closer to her snow white partner and spoke to break the silence. "You know they kinda remind me of us when we first met." she said to Weiss who rolled her eyes at the comment.

...

Blitz walked with no specific destination in mind. Penny was right behind him and once again the awkward silence between the two carried on. Thinking that now was as good a time as any to start mending their relationship, he began his attempt at sorting things out with Penny.

"So.. Why were you looking for me?" Blitz started a conversation to try and break the ice.

Penny was looking unusually timid, shoulders slouched and hands clasped together. A complete turnaround from the giggling mess she was earlier. She responded. "I.. actually wanted to talk to you about last night." She mumbled while looking down at the wooden floor.

She continued speaking. "I know I'm not like 'normal' people.. I find it hard to make friends because people always push me away. They think I'm.. weird."

Blitz listened silently as she went on.

"Perhaps I was irritating you with my voice all this time and I didn't even notice.. That's why you told me to keep quiet last night, but I want you to know that I'm trying my best to be better, to not be a strange girl in the eyes of others.. I don't want you to push me away like the others, you're my partner.."

Penny's words became quieter with each passing second. Her voice cracked at her next sentence.

"Am I.. a bad partner?" If Penny was capable of crying then she might have been on the verge of tears at this point.

As if Blitz didn't feel bad enough already.. After closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, he came out with a response.

"Penny I.. I want to apologize for the way I acted.." Blitz said almost too quiet for Penny to hear. "Also for throwing a watermelon at your head.. You're not a bad partner, I just.."

"Arrrgh why was this so hard!" he thought in frustration.

Penny stopped him right there as she spoke up. "Are you still mad?" she asked twiddling her fingers and looking up at him with puppy eyes,

Blitz looked down to avoid her gaze. He had to admit, it made him uncomfortable. Still though he responded.

"I was.. It's just that I was worried about you.." Blitz was struggling to let the words out, his voice was jagged, his face was scrunched up. It was as if he was pooping out the words instead of saying them.

"You didn't give me a clue on where to find you or even message me back.." he recalled the events from yesterday.

"And when I saw you fighting White Fang of all things it… it felt like you were deliberately putting yourself in danger and I.." Blitz let out a sigh. "It made me.. angry."

All of a sudden the obsidian haired boy was back to his normal expressionless self. His usual formality returned to him in an instant as he tried to act as if he wasn't being a softie just now. Despite having only known each other for a couple of days, Penny was still his partner and he had to look out for her. Based on what he had seen, she wasn't someone who should be wandering off on her own.

"I'm not mad anymore, but I do hope that you can avoid making me worry like that again."

Penny listened intently to Blitz' explanation and decided that it was about time she responded.

"I understand Blitz.. I won't ever disappear on you again. That's a promise." she clenched both of her fists as she made her sincere declaration. "And I'm sorry as well for not informing you of my whereabouts.."

Blitz nodded "That's good enough for me."

Breathing a sigh of relief, he decided to ask one last question.

"So are we good..?"

Penny performed a stiffly awkward first pump as she cried. "We are Faaaan-tastic!"

Annnnnd she was back..

"So where are we headed?" Penny asked her partner as they walked the halls of Beacon.

Blitz looked at her and decided that maybe he should let her decide. Perhaps as a way of making up for yesterday.

"Any ideas?" He responded hoping he wouldn't live to regret this decision.

Suddenly Penny's eyes began sparkling as her smile doubled in size.

"Why not head to the library? I heard that we can play board games there! I have always wanted to play games with real people and not advanced A.I's."

Blitz cringed a little as he fought back the urge to immediately shoot her down. He took a deep breath and mentally prepared himself for the coming storm.

"...Fine." He shook as it took every bit of willpower he had to agree.

Penny seemed ecstatic at this point. "Terrific! I believe it's this way!" she yelled as she grabbed Blitz by the arm and began dragging him through the school.

This was going to be a long day once again.

Ok so just one question, is it good to stick to cannon or not. Like I said I'm new to fanfics so I'm not so sure.

Also thx to everyone who read this so far. I know OC fics aren't very popular so I'm quite grateful to those who gave it a chance.
