Unwelcome Visitor

Chapter 6: Yang's Plans

After breakfast had been finished, Ruby was not feeling well. Yang had made a whole pile of baconcakes for her and had even drowned them in BBQ-sauce. The redhead wasn't allowed to leave the table until every last piece of food had been eaten. Knowing what the blonde would do if she resisted, Ruby had decided to do her best to eat the abominations that had been put in front of her. At the very least, Yang had been kind enough to keep the burned ones to herself.

''Ugh... My stomach feels like it's about to explode,'' Ruby said as she sat on the living room couch.

''Oh, stop being such a baby!'' Yang said cheerfully and slapped the redhead on the shoulder. ''You'll need all that energy for what I have planned for you!''

''...Should I be scared?''

''Of course not, silly! We are going to have fun today!''

''Fun? What are we going to be doing? Are we going to hunt Grimm?'' the younger of the two women asked with excitement in her voice.

The older woman suddenly frowned and pinched Ruby's cheek quite painfully and said, ''Rubes, we have the whole day for ourselves and we won't waste it on work! I might like action and thrills, but I need to have fun too!''

''Ow ow ow ow! Okay! I get it! Let go!'' the redhead yelled, causing Yang to let go of her cheek. ''So what are we going to be doing today?''

''We are going to play all day! First, we'll be having a gaming marathon and then we'll be watching great movies!'' Yang replied while grinning widely.

''A gaming marathon?''

''That's right! So the floor is yours, Rubes! What do you wanna play first?''

There was a moment of silence before Ruby said, ''Yang, I don't have any video game consoles.''

''...What?''

''You heard me. I don't have anything to play video games with, so I don't think that the gaming marathon is going to happen.''

Ruby watched as Yang remained silent and motionless. The blonde's only movement was her smile slowly faltering, until her face turned into a horrified look.

''Are you telling me that you haven't played any games in the last two years? You have missed all of the latest classics that have been released? Like Last Legend 14, Dust Calibur 7, Remnantlands 5 and Busted Metal 8? Even Grand Theft Bullhead 6?'' Yang asked with her face pale.

Ruby blinked a bit before answering, ''Well, yes. I don't see how that is such a- GAH!''

''OH, YOU POOR BABY!'' the blonde screamed as she pulled the redhead into a powerful hug. ''I can't believe what you've been going through! It must have been so hard on you, Rubes!''

The younger of the two women would have responded, but she was silenced by a hand over her mouth.

''Shhh. Shhh. It's okay, it's okay. I'm here now. I'll make this better for you. Okay?'' Yang gently whispered before getting up and walking out of the house.

Ruby stared after the blonde with wide eyes as she left. She was unsure of how to react to what had happened and wondered what the older woman was planning.

'Honestly, Yang is overreacting like usual. Like this is a tragedy of any kind,' the redhead thought as she let out a sigh. She then smiled and blushed a little. 'But that's what's good about her, isn't it? She is so caring, loving and full of life. As much as she has gotten on my nerves, she has brought light to my dull life.'

Ruby sat there with her thoughts occupied by Yang. She was thinking about all the good times they had had together, from their childhood to Beacon. The redhead sat still with a dreamy look on her face as she kept thinking about the beautiful blonde and all of her good qualities.

Suddenly realizing what she was doing, Ruby snapped out of her thoughts and blushed furiously. 'What am I thinking!? I can't think of her like that! It's wrong!'

As the redhead was berating herself, Yang came back to the living room with two large boxes and said, ''Good thing I came prepared. I didn't know what consoles or games you'd have, so I brought some of mine along.'' The blonde put the boxes on the table and continued, ''Now we can have our gaming marathon!''

Ruby looked at the boxes with wide eyes and said, ''How did you get all this stuff here with you? I don't think that you could put them on your motorcycle.''

''Oh, I don't have a motorcycle anymore,'' Yang replied before her face fell and tears started to fall from her eyes. ''My beautiful Bumblebee broke about a year ago.''

''That's unfortunate to hear, Yang. So what-''

''WAAAAH! MY BABY! YOU'RE RIDING THE FREEWAYS IN HEAVEN!''

'And she said I was creepy for calling Crescent Rose my sweetheart...' the redhead thought as she stared at the crying blonde with a blank expression.

''My pretty baby...'' the older of the two women mumbled as she wiped her eyes. She then suddenly put on her cheery face again. ''Anyways, enough of that! I believe that you had a question?''

'The speed her mood changes rivals my semblance,' the younger woman thought to herself. ''Yeah, I wondered how you brought all this stuff with you.''

''Well, after my bike passed away, I needed a new ride,'' Yang replied with a smile. ''Come on. I'll show it to you.''

Ruby followed the blonde outside the house and behind it. What she saw there made her jaw drop. Yang had parked a car there, but not just any car. It was a bright yellow monster truck. The redhead had been too occupied with her 'visitor' to notice it, so it had remained unknown to her all this time.

''Yang, why the hell would you get a monster truck!?'' Ruby asked in a shocked voice.

''The better question is, why wouldn't I get a monster truck'' Yang replied with a grin. ''I needed something after my bike broke down and it needed to be cool. Also, when I thought about it more carefully, I realized that I valued power over speed. This baby here has that.''

''I can believe that... But how do you drive this thing around? I'm pretty sure you're a danger to everybody else that's on the road.''

''That's the whole beauty of it! When I was on my bike, I had to avoid everybody else. Now they have to avoid me!''

Ruby stared at Yang for a while, thinking about what she had just heard. She imagined the blonde speeding down the road in her new vehicle, causing havoc and mayhem everywhere. To say the least, it was not exactly a pleasant image.

''Remind me never to ride that thing with you,'' the redhead said.

''You say that as if you would have a choice,'' Yang responded with a laugh. She then took Ruby's arm and started dragging her back into the house. ''Now let's get back inside! We have a gaming marathon ahead of us, and I can't risk you running away!''

'Damn! I was so fixated on the monster truck that I forgot to escape!' the younger woman thought to herself as she was dragged.

The two women went back into the house and into the living room. As soon as they got there, Yang started to dig through the boxes she had just brought there.

''Now let's see... I brought my Q-Box and my Duststation, along with over a dozen games for both of them, so I think we're good,'' Yang said as she kept digging through the boxes.

''Why do you have two consoles?'' Ruby asked. ''Wouldn't just one be enough?''

The blonde looked up at the redhead with a shocked expression and said, ''Ruby, how could one console be enough!? I'll have you know that I've got ALL of the current consoles and a really good PC as well! There's no way that one console could, or should, be enough for anyone!''

''It would be for me!'' Ruby exclaimed. ''Besides, we only had one console when we were growing up.''

''That's because dad was a stingy miser, who didn't understand the greatness of video games!'' Yang exclaimed. ''If he had any idea about it, he would have bought us every single console AND a high-power computer, just so that he could sleep well with the knowledge that his little girls would be happy! Instead, we had to work our asses off just so that we could experience the wonderful life of gaming to the fullest, and to make up for the lost time from our childhood!''

''...I think you're taking gaming too seriously,'' the younger woman stated.

''HA! Truly the words of a misled child! It's clear that you haven't been playing anything!'' the older woman said while pointing an accusing finger at Ruby before smiling warmly. ''No need to worry. I'll fix this problem quickly. I'll just set up one of the consoles and we can go on curing you.''

''Curing me?'' Ruby mumbled to herself as Yang went on to set up her Duststation. The redhead sighed. 'This should be interesting...'

Author's notes: And another chapter is done. I was planning to include the part where Yang and Ruby play video games to this chapter, but decided against it. It's going to be long enough to be it's own chapter, so we'll see it later. Hope you can wait for that and enjoyed this one for now.

Until next time.
