Hey Guys! Guess what?! I'm not dead! Now the reason for me being away for a really long time is I started my Junior year of High School and it's hitting me hard. Now the chapter below is kinda long and doesn't really have that much of a plot but the reasoning will be soon told in the eighth chapter when ever I end up posting it. Again, I love you guys and I appreciate all the constructive criticism. I really hope you like it!
Another day goes by for us here at Beacon. The only problem is we have a huge day trip (Ruby's idea) coming up. Don't get me wrong, a trip might be what we need. The main problem with that, is that Yang's license got suspended. And that seems to be the topic of conversation right now.
"What do you mean suspended?!" Weiss exasperated at the busty blonde.
"Uh, well. You see here," Yang started using her hands for emphasis but, she looks like her arms are trying to flag down a rescue helicopter. I slowly raise my book to my eye level. I swear I can't find any peace to read anymore.
"What? What could you have possibly done to get it suspended?!" Weiss shrieked. I wince at the sound. My ears are really sensitive. Especially since Ruby used a megaphone to wake us up this morning.
"It doesn't matter!" Yang insisted.
"I'm pretty sure it matters! Now we don't have a driver!" Weiss answered with a humph.
"Blake could drive!" Oh no. I peek my eyes over the top of the book I was reading. Yang was pointing her finger at me. Traitorous bitch. Weiss spins on her heels and looks at me with a look that could kill.
"And why didn't you speak up earlier?" She asked me with her hands on her hips. Oh this is going to suck. Hang in there ears.
"Because I lost it somewhere." I answered with a shrug. If Weiss was a kernel, she would pop right now.
"How do you lose your license?! That's an important document!" I shrug and close my book.
"I went for a walk in Forever Fall Forest. I ran into a hoard of Beowulves and got out of there. I lost it in the process. What was I suppose to do? Go back and ask nicely for them to return it?" I asked sarcastically. Weiss opened her mouth to answer then quickly shut it. She then opened her mouth calmly.
"Then why don't you go to the DMV and renew it?" The Ice Queen asked while pinching the bridge of her nose.
"Because we were going on a road trip tomorrow and we were suppose to have a driver. Also, the DMV is closed today." I train my eyes on the blonde who tried to escape out the door. "And don't you dare think you can get away with sneaking out, Yang." Yang freezes and Weiss turns. I can't help but smirk.
"Don't you even think about it Yang Xiao Long. I am not done with you yet." Weiss seethed out then turned back to me. Yang made a face and then decided to give her middle finger some exercise towards Weiss.
"Ok Weiss, we can both agree that we will get Yang back later but the problem still stands, who is going to drive? We can't go and tell Ruby we can't go the day before we're suppose to leave. She's been skipping around all day, so excited about the trip." I point out with a huff.
"Well-" Weiss started to give her opinion when Yang comes over abruptly.
"Wait! Weiss! Can't you drive?" Yang asked excitedly.
"Wah? Why me? What makes you think I can drive?" I can't help but drop my hostile demeanor. How come Weiss didn't offer to drive? She was so quick to ridicule us about our license when she could have stepped up. Weiss noticing the long pause from her not answering, slowly tried to back away.
"Well?" I ask calmly and take a step towards her.
"I-I can't drive. I-I never learned." Weiss mumbled and rubbed her right arm nervously.
"How come?" Yang asked. Maybe Yang finally won't tease Weiss in this kind of situation. Can Yang finally be thoughtful. "I mean, you're rich. Didn't you have people lining up to teach you how to drive? I mean you would pay good money to teach a Schnee how to drive. Or was it that you " Never mind. I elbow Yang as hard as I can. "I mean! That's alright Ice Queen-" Another elbow to the ribs. "Weiss! I meant Weiss. We'll figure out something!" I nod in agreement.
"Hold on!" Weiss gets the fire back in her eyes. Oh no. "Just because my family has money doesn't mean that I had everything on a silver platter! I had to work for certain things! Don't you dare even think that I am a spoiled little-"
"Hi guys." We all freeze. I train my neck to see Ruby standing in the doorway.
"Hey sis! We were just…" Yang trails off when Ruby gently closes the door and gently puts her stuff down. This is so weird. Ruby a, didn't break down the door, b, didn't greet us as a team. And c, she just walked over and climbed up to her bed and just laid there.
"Please say I'm not the only one who sees Ruby completely not herself right?" I ask to make sure my eyes don't deceive me.
"No, I see it too." Weiss murmured back. Yang walks over pulls herself onto Ruby's bunk.
"Sis, what's wrong. You're not yourself." Yang gently pet Ruby's head. Weiss and I look at each other. Our worried expressions mirrored off of each other.
"We're not going on our day trip. Are we?" Ruby asked. Yang immediately snapped her head around to look at us. I shrug. Weiss then steps up.
"What are you talking about? Of course we are going!" Yang and I look stunned at Weiss.
"We are?" Yang and Ruby both ask. Weiss looks at me for support. Dammit.
"Of course we are. We wouldn't miss it for the world." I answer with complete confidence. Great. We're still at whee we were before. We still don't have a driver.
Ruby sniffles and wipes her eyes. I thought I smelled salt. "Th-then who is going to drive us?" The brunette asked. I sigh and pinch the bridge of my nose. This might come and bite me in the ass later.
"Alright, I'll drive." The rest of Team RWBY looks at me with grateful smiles. Then Weiss started thinking.
"But didn't you lose your license?" Weiss asked.
"Yes but, I do have a friend who can get me a new one." I smirk. Weiss won't like this but oh well.
"But like you said yourself Blake, the DMV is closed. How will you get a new one?" Yang asked while crossing her arms. "Wait, don't tell me you're going to go visit . . . him?" I nod quickly as Ruby gets out an intrigued sound.
"Don't tell me you are going to do something illegal." Weiss placed her hands on her hips and tried to scold me. I glance at Ruby who looks back and forth between Weiss and I. There is a glint of understanding in her silver eyes.
"Now Weiss, do you really think we would do something illegal under your careful eye?" I asked tilting my head slightly.
"Yes." She deadpanned.
"To bad, now Ruby!" I shout and quickly grab Weiss' arms and hold them behind her back. Ruby hopes off the bed and quickly uses the sheet to tie her to a chair.
"Ruby Rose! Blake Belladonna! What do you think you're doing?!" The white haired girl demanded.
"Uh getting away with something you don't approve of." I answer bluntly and head to the door. Ruby follows me and Yang hops off the bed.
"Wait for me! I'm sticking around for this." Yang called and wrapped her arms around Ruby and I.
"So you're just going to leave me here?" Weiss asked craning her neck to look at us.
"Yes." We all answer at the same time. Yang then smirked.
"It's not so bad. Look at it this way. You get time to cool off Ice Queen." Even if Weiss' glare wasn't directed at me, I could still feel it. Even Ruby shivers next to me.
"Yang. Don't. You. Dare." Weiss threatens.
"Aw don't be so cold-hearted Weiss," Yang smirks. Ok the smirk she is giving off is the one that says a pun she has been dying to use is about to come up. "I mean you're sweet, I'll admit it. But, with you tied up like that, you look like a bowl of Weiss Cream!" Yang laughs at her joke and the rest of us groan.
"Get out." Weiss demands and all of us feel the temperature drop in the room.
"I'm out." Ruby gets out rubbing her arms in an effort to bring back warmth to them.
"See ya." I wave and follow Ruby.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Yang has left the building!" Yang cheers and leaves the room. This might be a long trip at this rate.
