'Yes! 2 weeks off, finally!' Ruby screamed in her head as she slowly slid off her bed, smiling excitedly. The slow, creaking and rocking of her bed that came from her slide drew a random thought to her as she dressed. 'How did we manage to keep my bed hanging from the ceiling for so long?' She cast a quick and worried glance at the still-shaking structure, before shrugging it off. 'Ah, doesn't matter. Vacation!'
It was that time of year, the famous 2 week vacation. This was the time most Beacon students took to go completely into a state of relaxation, and forget about their schoolwork. The most popular places to go to were the beach and the clubs, and some went to both. It truly was glorious, given the warm weather too.
The teams we know and love gathered in the cafeteria at breakfast time. Both were deciding on how to spend their 2 weeks of vacation.
"Why don't we go to the beach for a while?" Yang suggested, smiling at the thought of them all playing together in the water.
"Won't it be packed?" Weiss asked incredulously as her brows furrowed, making it clear that she thought the suggestion wasn't a smart one. "You know how many people are going, right?"
"Of course I do!" Yang rolled her eyes, visibly unimpressed with Weiss' tone. "That's why we're going later in the day!"
"You mean at night?" Pyrrha asked, an eyebrow raised at the thought.
"Is that safe?" Blake asked, her eyes focused completely on her book yet her ears listening in to the conversation. "Don't most kidnappings or murders happen at night?"
"You don't know that, you're just purrranoid," Yang said, grinning as loud groans immediately came in response. "Besides, we've got Ren and Jaune. They'll protect us, right, boys?" She nudged Jaune in the side with her elbow.
"Why do you need us?" Jaune asked. "You could poke someone and they'd be down for the count! You're probably even stronger than Ren!"
"You can handle yourselves anyway," Ren added, his arms crossed but his tone indifferent as always. "Don't you even remember how we're in Beacon? We can all fight."
"So later in the day it is!" Yang announced loudly, ending the discussion as the two boys looked at each other worriedly. "We leave at five and come back at seven! No complaints!"
The group arrived at around 5:30pm and they headed to the changing rooms.
"Man, we're lucky the sun doesn't set until 9:00." Yang said to Pyrrha as they walked out, their normal clothes in plastic bags.
"Yeah, we are." Pyrrha said, glancing at Yang's outfit. The redhead was wearing a light brown tankini, "There's not many people here either. Hey, I like your swimsuit"
"Thanks, I like yours too!" Yang smiled. She wore a yellow bikini.
The rest of the group soon came out. Ruby wore a black and red one-piece bathing suit, Blake wore a black bikini top and short swimming shorts. Nora had on a purple tankini, Weiss wore a light blue bikini, Jaune had gray trunks and Ren had green trunks.
"Let's get in the water!" Yang ran to the dock with Ruby, Nora and Pyrrha. Yang, Ruby and Nora cannonballed in and Pyrrha did a simple dive. Weiss and Jaune walked into the water.
The knight in shining armor, of course, saw his chance to slip in a 'compliment' to the heiress. Walking over to her, he put on his best gentlemanly face. "You look beautiful with your hair down, Weiss," he said, but she was unimpressed with his attempts to flirt with her.
"Nice try, Jaune" Weiss scoffed, crossing her arms as she looked away, her nose pointed in the air. Though there was a slight tug in the corner of her lips, Weiss trying to hide her amusement at the blondes feeble attempts, and Jaune interpreted this as a sign to keep going.
Meanwhile, Ren was about to join his friends in the water when he noticed Blake wasn't moving an inch. She'd even brought a book to read. Then again, from what he'd seen, it really wasn't that surprising.
"Aren't you coming?" Ren asked, his eyes focused on the title of the book.
"No, I don't want to get my bow wet," Blake said, her 'bow' twitching a small amount. Ren nodded in understanding and quickly made his way into the water.
'I'll sit this one out' Blake thought, sitting on the sand as she briefly looked up from her book to watch her friends mess around with each other.
"Gah, the water! It buuuuuuuurns!" Yang yelled dramatically as she covered her eyes. Ruby had splashed her, and much of the water had made it in to her eyes.
"Sorry Yang! Are you okay?" Ruby asked, upset with what she had done.
"Yeah, I'm fine now," Yang took her hands off her eyes, shrugging off the event as if nothing happened. "It only stings for a few seconds. No harm done"
"Really?" Pyrrha asked.
"Yeah. Stick your head under the water and open your eyes." Yang pushed Pyrrha's head halfway under the water before stopping herself. "Oops, sorry"
Pyrrha resurfaced quickly, unprepared for the sudden push. "It's fine," Pyrrha spluttered, although her near undetectable glare contradicted her statement. She then stuck her head underwater and opened her eyes. As Yang had described, it stung for a few seconds, then the pain quickly faded away. She brought her head back up, calling to the others, "She's right!"
A light bulb turned on above Ruby's head. "Let's look at fish! Come on!" She dove underwater and swam further from the shore. Everyone in the water soon followed her, looking at the fish, occasionally going to the surface for air.
Then a large shark blurred in to their view, and it was heading towards them.
"Mmm?!" Weiss exclaimed underwater. She saw Jaune already escaping, Pyrrha and Ren too.
The shark wasn't especially close, but it got closer and opened its mouth, showing off its large amount of razor sharp teeth.
'Gosh, Weiss, MOVE!' Weiss thought, swimming as fast as she possibly could. Nora zoomed past her. 'Typical Nora, always speeding along' Weiss thought out of the blue. She didn't look back once, for fear of getting so afraid that she'd stop swimming and die. 'Wait, where's Yang and Ruby?!'
In a panic, she looked back, but not long enough because she quickly turned back to the front of her so she could get to the surface and go from there. Once Weiss got to the surface, she quickly swam to shore, where her other friends were waiting, exhausted.
"Where's Ruby and Yang?" Pyrrha demanded. "Did they get caught?"
"I don't know!" Weiss panted, her tone filled with guilt as she replied, "I didn't get a good enough view!"
"How does that help us?" Pyrrha glared at her.
"Pyrrha, please don't blame Weiss," Blake said, "Yang and Ruby are fine, I'm certain. Maybe the shark stopped chasing them."
"Sorry, I'm just worried." Pyrrha sighed. "But I can't see how it would just stop chasing them. I mean, a shark won't usually just give up a chase like that."
There was a silence that was quickly broken by the loudest gasps they've ever heard. They looked to the water and saw a head of blonde hair and another with red hair.
"Is that them?" Ren asked, Jaune squinting with him to try and see if the pair were indeed their missing friends.
"Uh… no. They're not them." Jaune finally answered.
The group quickly realized that it was two strangers.
"You're kidding." Weiss crossed her arms.
"Do you think…?" Jaune started, unsure if he should finish what he was going to say.
"Don't think like that, Jaune!" Nora frowned at him, upset at her leader selling the reaper and brawler short. "They're fine, I'm sure they are!"
Another blonde and redhead started walking onto shore. The girls' hair was plastered to their faces, some covering their eyes. They were both spluttering water out of their mouths.
"That was close," the blonde pulled some hair away from her face "We almost got chomped big time."
"Yeah, I don't know what would've happened if you hadn't freed me from the seaweed." The redhead ripped some more of the aforementioned seaweed off of her arm.
"Yang?" Jaune called.
"Huh? What? Who called me?" Yang looked in all directions frantically.
"I did!" Jaune yelled again.
"Oh, hey Jaune! Guys!" Yang waved, pulling Ruby with her to her friends "We almost died, but we're fine!" The happy grin on her face seemed to say otherwise.
"You have no idea how much we worried about you!" Weiss exclaimed. "We thought you were...!" She didn't dare finish the sentence, not even wanting the gruesome image in her head.
"Chill out, ice queen," Yang said(followed by more groans), hands on her hips. "We're alive and well, why aren't you happy about that?"
"I am happy, but-it's just-Ugh!" Weiss stamped her feet in frustration at the blondes uncaring mood. "You barely survived a shark attack, yet you act like it was nothing special!"
Yang stared, her face unreadable before deadpanning, "Weiss, I broke a night club and took a batzooka to the face. A big fish isn't gonna scare me."
"Weiss, just let it go!" Ruby tried to calm her down as Yang started to quietly mutter, "Can't hold it back anymooore..." The reaper sent her sister a glare, quickly silencing her before she could make the situation worse.
Weiss clenched her fists at her sides "Fine! But we're going home, right now!"
'How can you just laugh something like a shark attack off? Doesn't she know they both could've died?!' Weiss thought as she changed 'It's so frustrating! Ugh!'
"Weiss?" Though Nora's face resembled that of a cheery one, her tone was filled with worry for her friend, worry that the heiress appreciated. "Are you okay?"
Weiss took a deep sigh before answering. "Yes, I'm fine."
"Lucky for us that we managed to smell something fishy going on before we got caught!" Yang said.
There were even more groans. Someone even screamed.
