Author's Notes: Time for Crimson to start some shit! XD
Crimson marched over to Rock and Silver as Rock got off him, her cheeks burning. Silver had somehow managed to put his cowl back in place over his face and turned to face Crimson.
"HA! Couldn't resist him, could you?!" Crimson accused, pointing her index finger at Rock's nose, making her go cross eyed. Rock scowled at her lividly. Why does this girl keep harassing her?
"Actually, you're right. I couldn't resist after I saw under his cowl." Rock stepped closer to Silver, who slid his arm around her back protectively while he glared at Crimson.
"So what if he took off his mask! You already blatantly denied him being your boyfriend earlier, so what's your story?! Do you like him or not?!" Crimson argued, taking on an aggressive tone.
Rock looked Silver right in the eye and saw the same trusting look as when he made her slash his hand. She looked back to Crimson and calmly said, "Yes."
Crimson gawked at Rock's sudden change of attitude, then dove forward towards Silver, shoving Rock aside. She somehow managed to bring him down to the ground and clawed her fingers at his cowl, trying to pull it down.
Dead Master instantly grabbed Crimson by the collar and hauled her off Silver. Chariot helped Rock stand up, her face a vicious glare instead of her normal cheery excitement.
Silver stood up very slowly, his eyes locked on Crimson's face. After a moment of tense silence, he glanced over at Rock with a question in his eyes. Rock instantly understood and nodded.
Crimson noticed the non verbal exchange and tried to free herself from Dead Master's grip, a deep sneer on her face.
When Silver turned back to Crimson, his eyes were narrowed almost into slits as he reached up and slowly pulled the cowl down to reveal his face to her.
Almost instantly Crimson's face went from anger to disgust. She turned to Rock and sneered. "I pity your taste, Rock. He looks better WITH that stupid mask."
Crimson tugged her arms free from Dead Master and strode away, smiling cruelly over her shoulder at them. She quickly vanished in the crowds waiting to be served food.
"What is her problem? I mean, why does she have to stick that huge nose of hers into your business? She must be a mean girl! I don't like her! Not one bit!" Chariot rattled on as she fussed over the dirt on Silver's white duster.
"I used to go to Pulse Academy with her. She likes me." Silver explained, pulling his cowl back up to his face as he spoke. "But she didn't get the hint that I wasn't interested. If she wants something, daddy would give it to her on a shining platter."
Rock had attended Burst Academy prior to coming to Nova, but understood that the two of them had a history. She scowled in the direction that Crimson had gone and stayed silent as she imagined blasting Crimson to pieces with her cannon.
"So you're saying that she's a spoiled brat with daddy wrapped around her finger?" Dead Master asked, petting Ebony & Ivory's foreheads absent mindedly.
"That is exactly what I mean." Silver answered, pulling his candy from inside his duster and holding it out. "Anyone want some?" he asked as he tugged down his cowl.
Chariot's eyes widened suddenly as she dove her hand into her pocket and withdrew her macaron bags. Almost instantly, she started eating them in rapid succession.
"Thanks for reminding me! I almost forgot that I had these macarons in my pocket! I bought them earlier but since we had to chase you, I didn't have time to eat..." Chariot rambled in between mouthfuls of macaron, until Strength arrived with all of their weapons held in her arms.
"Chariot. don't talk with your mouth full." Strength stated as she gently lowered their weapons to the grass.
Chariot nodded, her cheek bulging in mid chew. She quickly swallowed and peered into the two bags. She sighed sadly and rolled them into a ball.
"Chariot, you can have some of mine." Silver smiled as he noticed her disappointment. He held out the candy bag to her while everyone else munched on the gummy candies.
Chariot's eyes widened with happiness as she snatched the bag right out of his hand and gave him a tight bear hug.
"Oh! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Chariot exclaimed as she rolled back a few feet and released him.
"Chariot, calm down!" Dead Master laughed a bit as she fed Ebony and Ivory some of her candies.
Silver smiled as he tugged his cowl back up to his nose. Rock leaned over to whisper into his ear. "You do know that you just gave an incredibly hyperactive girl a big bag of candy, right?"
Silver simply smiled and replied, "I regret nothing."
Dead Master and Strength silently stared at Silver as Chariot started eating the candy. Neither said anything, but Silver and Rock knew that they didn't agree with giving Chariot more sugar.
"Well... does anyone want some? You guys are being really quiet! what's wrong? Is it the mean girl again?" Chariot asked between mouthfuls of candy. She looked between Rock and Silver, who was repeatedly flexing his wings again.
"No, we're fine Chariot. I'm just trying to decide on what to eat. I haven't eaten anything except some of that candy." Rock replied, looking around to the stalls thoughtfully.
"What do you normally eat, Rock?" Strength asked, her tail motionless for once behind her back. "they have a lot of different types of food."
"Umm... well... hamburgers, pizza, normal food." Rock replied, curious about Strength's question. "Why?"
"You can have my sandwich. It's just grilled cheese." Strength answered, holding out her hand. A plastic wrapped sandwich sat in her palm, looking very small compared to her hand size.
"Oh, thank you Strength, but have you eaten yet? I don't want to take your lunch." Rock replied, slightly embarrassed.
"I had two of them already. I ate them when you chased Silver earlier." Strength insisted, holding her hand out a bit closer to Rock.
Rock finally submitted and took the sandwich from Strength's hand, and unwrapped it. Silver smiled behind his cowl, but didn't say anything.
Rock was beginning to decipher his facial expressions whenever he wore his cowl, so after she took a bite, she turned to him and asked. "What's so funny?"
Silver's smile became more pronounced, and he replied. "Chariot, did you inhale all of that candy?"
Chariot was almost vibrating with energy, and her wide smile was evidence enough to everyone that she had a sugar rush. She shook her head vigorously and replied. "No, silly! I ate them all! When do we go to our next class? What time is it?"
Despite vibrating with energy, Chariot didn't seem to be any different. She reached into her pocket and retrieved her cell phone, checking the time before returning it. Rock glanced at Strength, who seemed to be most capable of keeping Chariot somewhat calm. She was watching Chariot out of the corner of her eye, and her tail had begun to sway back and forth again.
"Chariot has a point. When IS our next class?" Dead Master asked, checking her phone as well.
"Gold said we had an hour, but i don't remember the exact time got out here." Silver replied, glancing over Rock's head. "She's coming over here, we can ask."
Dead Master turned to see Gold approaching them with a small group of other first year students behind her. She quickly approached her older sister, speaking quickly. Gold nodded and beckoned for the rest of them to also join the group.
Rock quickly finished the sandwich and shoved the plastic wrapping into her pocket. She shouldered her cannon and walked alongside Silver as the group was lead through the crowds by Gold and into the same building as the Melee class.
As they entered, Rock and Silver somehow managed to become separated in the group, but soon arrived at a second floor classroom. An actual classroom with desks, blackboard, and an awaiting teacher.
"Ms. Saw, are these the first years?" the teacher asked in a distinctive accent. Gold nodded and stepped inside with them as more students joined the back of the group, all of whom were second years.
"find a seat, but first leave your weaponry at the back of the classroom, si vous plais." the teacher called loudly, and Rock recognized her accent to be French. She waited until she could get through the crowd, then placed her cannon beside Silver's Split Buster sword in the farthest corner from the door. Chariot's shield and sword were right beside them, and Rock assumed that Strength's Stinger was somewhere nearby. Rock quickly sat in the back row beside Silver, who had almost protectively sat near their weapons.
"Crimson didn't leave her pistol back here. And I'll bet she kept it loaded after Granite's class." Silver said quietly to Rock. She quickly scanned the backs of everyone's head and locked onto Crimson's near the front.
"that isn't good." Rock whispered back, her eyes narrowed almost into slits.
"Now, let us begin with introductions, oui?" The teacher called, almost instantly quieting the low chatter that had risen while everyone was seated. "My name is Professor Lapis, and I teach History of Warfare."
Chariot suppressed a giggle at Professor Lapis' name. Because of her accent, it sounded like she had said 'la pee.' Professor Lapis thankfully didn't notice it.
"Now, each of you will come stand at the front of the class and state your name, and one small thing about yourself, like I did. If anyone is willing to volunteer, raise your hand, si vous plais."
Crimson's hand rose, as well as Silver, Chariot, Dead Master, Gold, and quite a number of other students. Rock kept her hands resting on the desk, not wanting to face Crimson's crap again about showing off.
"Bien. Now, those who did not raise their hand, please stand up." Lapis called, and those that she was referring to slowly stood up, including Rock and Strength. Crimson turned around in her seat and smiled pointedly at Rock, who was being eyed again by quite a few of the first year students.
Closing Remarks: The teacher, Professor Lapis (as in Lapis Lazuli) is completely OC, not based on anyone from RWBY or BRS at all. She took only twenty minutes to create, but it took an hour of brainstorming to come up with her name XD
