So. I heard you like RWBY fanfiction. So here's another chapter of the Tale of Team APLE. I hope you like it considering this story is pretty horrible. Like cholera. Man, cholera is terrible. So yeah. I have no idea you want my cholera but hey, let's get right into it.

Chapter Seven: Coffee, School, and News

Percy really likes coffee. He loved it ever since he first tasted it when he was eight years old. He loves it black, with sugar, with milk, with sugar and milk; he loves coffee so much. But Percy didn't get this one thing. Why are only teachers allowed to have coffee made in Beacon? The school probably got the best coffee beans ever because it's the academy for Hunters and Huntresses! Students can drink, have sex, party until eleven o'clock at night, and a ton of other things that most adults can do! Why are students banned from drinking campus coffee if they can do almost everything else that most schools ban? And let's not mention the rumors going around about the sexual tension between the Pyrrha Nikos and that Arc boy. Percy had to be the intellectual of the team because Andy's an airhead, Leo sleeps all the time, and Eve doesn't really give a shit. One of the perks of being the smart guy means you get to hear a bunch rumors milling around the student and staff body. Another rumor was the reason why Sam doesn't talk. The reason being-

"Percy! Wake up! They have sausages for breakfast today!" Leo said as he violently shook Percy awake. It has been a week ever since team APLE's first mission and things had finally went back to normal. That means classes, homework, and hanging out with team TRQS. Over the week, team APLE learned a lot about TRQS. Like how Triss absolutely hates tofu, for some reason, Ramona likes to read smutty novels like that recent hit seller "Ninjas of Love", Quinn really hates salmon but loves the taste of puffer fish, and Sam likes cats despite being allergic to them.

Anyway, Percy sat up and rub his eyes to wake up while Leo backed off and started to get dressed up in his school uniform. Percy then got out of his bed and walked into the bathroom. Inside the bathroom was Andy brushing Eve's hair and… Sam brushing his teeth.

Percy looked at Sam and then at Andy before saying, "Why is Sam in our bathroom brushing his teeth?"

"Because Ramona kicked him out for reasons I couldn't hear through the wall," Andy said, grabbing his toothbrush as he finished combing Eve's hair, who was using the mouthwash shotgun to finish up. Percy sighed and did his daily hygiene as APLE, plus the S of TRQS, finished getting ready and walked to the cafeteria. After getting their breakfast, APLE, plus Sam, sat down and started eating; TRQ(S) joined them after a tiny bit.

Andy greeted the group, a small smile on his face as he looked at Ramona. "Hi Ramona. You doing ok?"

"Yes Anthony. I am doing fine, for now. Samuel, you can go fuck yourself by the way."

Sam nodded in response to Ramona's hostility. Leo looked between the two before leaning in and whispering to Quinn, "What exactly happened between Ramona and Sam?"

"Sam may have walked into Ramona showering and Sam just held up a towel, offering it to Ramona who was still in the shower. Least to say that Ramona was angry. At least she didn't break the bathroom mirror."

"But she did break my curling iron," Triss said as she shivered from the pure anger radiating from Ramona.

"Could've been worse; Sam could have walked into the shower while Ramona was in it and stripped down, showing his "curling iron" to her," Eve interjected, smirking as Triss turned many shades of red and Leo many shades of green.

The rest of breakfast continued with Andy making small talk with Sam and Ramona, Ramona insulting Sam at every turn, Sam still silent and impassive as always, and the rest of the team APLE and TRQS eating and talking with each other as the shivered and cringe at the pure hatred coming off of Ramona.


Soon, the bell for first class rang and team APLE found itself in Goodwitch's fighting class. After a quick summary of the correct way to hold a sword, turns out it's the end that isn't sharp; the team practiced fighting the training robots for the remainder of class. Second class rolls in with Professor Port recounting a tale of how he defeated a legion of Beowolves with an acorn and a stick. Andy managed to survive twenty-seven minutes listening to Port this time. Third swaggered in with workshop lead by the current Armsmaster of Beacon; Mr. Stevens or "Big Steve" as the student body liked to call him. Big Steve is the type of Uncle that super friendly and helpful but when it comes to his favorite subject he is super serious. After a quick tutorial on how to not explode, APLE managed to touch up on their weapons. The fourth class started and it introduced Science class monitored by Mrs. Mitoca. Mrs. Mitoca was a quiet and respectful teacher but when it came to Chemistry she was a mad German scientist. Did I mention she was also German. Who knew? Percy did.

Lunch reared it's delicious head as the team met back up with team TRQS; their trays riddled with sandwiches, tiny cakes, and sodas. As they ate lunch together, Andy looked at Sam who was covered in bandages and lipstick marks. Ramona was in a similar state; covered in bandages and had a lingering blush, it brightening whenever she looked at Sam.

"So… Did something happen between you two?"

"You'll find out in the 7.5 chapter the author plans on writing," Percy said as he ate his sandwich. Andy was about to ask why but was silenced when Percy shoved a cake slice in his face. Andy likes cake unless it's a lie.

"So you guys heard what's coming up?" asked Quinn, munching on a tuna sandwich.

"No, what is it?" said Leo would was trying to hide his cake from Andy's evil gaze.

"The Vytal festival is going to start soon. Plus the Midwinter Ball is in a couple of weeks. Isn't the cool?"

Percy felt an eye twitch and started to ramble. "Why is it call Midwinter Ball when it isn't in the middle of winter? I mean that makes no sense to name it that if it doesn't happen like that. And the Vytal festival. Oh god I don't even want to know the canon we are going to ruin once we get there. But before all that; I bet the author is going to side track with stupid missions and character development. I mean he plans on writing a mini chapter detailing what exactly went on between Sam and Ramona! That's so stupid! I mean he could be writing fanfiction about Tokyo Ghoul or something better than this garbage story! And let's not get into the character design changes we will go through as we "mature". I swear this author is so fucking stupid that-"

As the sixth class bell rang, APLE and TRQS left Percy to his rambling. Dr. Oobleck's History class teleported in with a lesson about Faunus discrimination; interrupted when Percy ran in and yelled at Oobleck for coffee and history. The argument went as such.

"Why the fuck are you tempting me?"

"What are you talking about Mr. Midnight?"

"Stop drinking coffee in front of us! Why can't we drink it while you teachers can!"

"Because we can! Now sit down and learn about racism!"

"That's all you talk about! I want to learn when Dust was discovered! Why can't you teach that?"

"Because racism is a current issue!"

"Fuck current issues!"

"Fuck you!"

"Fuck you!"

Yeah. That went on for a while. After that rather eventful History class, the final class of the day was General Knowledge lead by Ms. Victoria. Ms. Victoria was a rather young teacher with a healthy attitude for school. After that class, team APLE returned to their dorm room and put on their regular clothes. After a quick homework session, the team went to Vale to walk around and maybe get something to eat. Andy looked back to his group who was chatting to one another and smiled. Despite some fights and interesting quirks; he had a team of some very good friends. He turned back around and ran into someone, slamming both him and that person into the sidewalk. That someone was a girl with orange hair. As Andy stood up, he looked down at the girl who strangely had a smile on her face.

"Are you ok?" Andy said as he scratched the back of his head in confusion.

"I am fantastic! Thank you for asking!" the girl answered; still laying on the ground in what looked like perfect plank form.

"So… Are you going to get up? I bet the sidewalk doesn't feel good."

"A good observation! I think I will get up." The girl stood up in one swift move. She stood real close to the group, a smile still on her face.

After a couple awkward moments of silence, Andy said, "Well it was nice to meet you…"

"Penny. My name is Penny! What's yours?"

"Well I'm Andy; the big one is Leo, the girl is Eve, and that's… Percy."

"It is wonderful to meet you all on this fine day!"

"Yeah… Well it was nice to meet you Penny but we need to go now. See you later friend." Team APLE rushed past Penny as the escaped the awkward situation. The team went back to walking, with Percy saying, "That was fucking weird."

"I know. At least she's gone now, " Leo said, fiddling with his limiter bracelets as he try to dispel the awkwardness from the encounter. Andy looked back at Percy and nodded before looking back in front of him. In front of him was Penny. Andy was starting to hate teleporting.

Penny marched up to the group towards Andy. Andy backed up through his group as Penny walked towards him, invading his personal space. Penny leaned in real close and asked Andy, "Are you really my friend?"

Andy looked behind Penny to check with his team. Leo was shaking his head and waving his arms about mouthing "Don't do it". Eve was nodding and had a thumbs up. Percy was… being Percy.

Andy swallowed and said, "Yes. I am your friend."

"Really! That's stupendous! This really is the best day ever! I made two new friends! Not only that but you are a boy too! You are my first boy-friend! We have the potential to fall in love and get married and have eighteen children together!"

"Well… How about we stay as just friends?"

"Ok just friend. I'm Penny."

"Was that an attempt at a joke?"

"Yes. One of my friend's sisters is quite a joke master. Want to hear more?"

"No thank you."

"You certain you do not wish to hear more jokes?"

"I am certain." Despite Penny lacking social awareness, Anthony thought she could be a nice friend.


After a bit more talking, APLE left Penny and continued to roam the streets of Vale. Suddenly, gunfire and loud clanging could be heard coming from the harbor. Andy looked to his friends and they all agreed; let's check it out. Team APLE rushed to the harbor where they saw the Blake Belladonna, a member of team RWBY, and a monkey faunus fighting the infamous Roman Torchwick. For those of you who don't know who Roman Torchwick is, he is a dangerous criminal who does almost everything illegal under the sun. Andy looked at his team and they were about to step in why they heard shouting coming farther down the dock. What looked to be a ton of men in fedoras starting to charge towards team RWBY.

Andy pulled out his broadsword and pointed it at the group of men, saying to his team, "Let's keep these goons occupied while those two kick that Roman Torchwick's ass!" Team APLE drew the rest of their respective weapons and got into their battle stances; ready to kick ass and chew bubblegum.

And they were all out of bubblegum.

As the wave of goons arrived; Leo rushed forward and knocked one out with an uppercut, his limiter bracelets still on. Eve would be ducking and weaving through the crowd kicking any and all goons in the balls. Percy was teleporting everywhere; drop kicking and slamming foes on the ground in lightning fast fury. Andy would be slashing and stabbing at any enemy that came his way, making sure to hit all the non vital parts of their bodies. While all of this was happening, Ruby Rose, the leader of team RWBY, and Penny arrived. Penny jumped into the fray and effectively wiped out all the enemies, including the Bullheads that came to reinforce.

Safe to say team APLE was surprised.

Despite all of this, Roman managed to escape. The rest of team RWBY showed up and started to talk among themselves as Penny was driven away and APLE waited a good distance away from the team. Andy signalled his team to follow and started to leave the scene. As they were about to leave, Leo grabbed Andy's shoulder and pointed at RWBY. Andy looked back at team RWBY and was surprised at what he saw. Team RWBY was smiling and waving at him and his group.

"I guess they noticed us helping out. Should we go and introduce ourselves Andy?" Leo said, waving back at the group as he continued to hold Andy's shoulder. Andy looked to see what Eve and Percy thought. Eve was also waving at RWBY with a smile on her face, barely able to contain her glee at seeing one of the Schnee family. Percy was smirking at the group as he held up a peace sign.

Andy sighed contently at his group's apparent decision. "It wouldn't hurt to go and introduce ourselves." Team APPle walked over to RWBY and introduced themselves. RWBY thanks APLE for helping out and introduced themselves as well. After some small talk, a few puns from Yang and an attempt of a pun from Leo, RWBY asking if Percy was ok after he busted into a rant how "Canon and Fanon are having love-hate sex right now" and a worrying "We don't really know anymore"; the two teams departed back to Beacon as new friends.

Team APLE had finally met team RWBY and became friends. Oh god. I can hear the canon breaking apart.

So. Was the chapter good? What am I saying, this fanfic is the definition of garbage. But seeing how people are liking this; might as well continue! Well. Bye then. Are we really doing this again? Go away! I don't have a good fact for you today. Just leave me alone! Fine. I'll tell you something about me!

I like bacon.
