Chapter 8: Chase This Light

A/N: Well then, I guess that the last chapter was interesting…. Short author's note today guys! Enjoy the story! Fearmortali out. *dodges another cannonball* DAMNIT YOU JACKASS! Oh and also this chapter is really just filler so if you're just here for the suspense of anything you might want to skip this chapter, this is just for people who really enjoy the story.

*On the road again, "SHUT UP DONKEY!"

We were able to listen to what happened on the radio while driving, "This just in, Roman Torchwick alleged member of the White Fang, a group known for its notorious terroristic acts and illegally distributing an infamous drug called, Dust. Has been convicted guilty of the shooting that had taken place at the club known as Space Rivers. It is unknown about how long of a sentence he will face but it is certain he has been convicted." So he was convicted but we can't know of his sentence? I looked at Weiss watching as she stared out into the plains. I looked behind us as we saw the last of Vale disappear behind us. "Well Ruby, I guess you could say you just started a new character for Second Life?" Yang trying to break the silence with one of her dumb puns, "Not in the mood Yang. My girlfriend could've died!" I shoot back at her.

We sit there for about an hour before Nora breaks the silence, "Anyone hungry, because I sure am." We all agree with her. It's been 12 hours since our last meal in Vale. "Alright well since were coming to an exit into a small town I guess we could stop here for a meal and gas." We stop outside of a Japanese-style place, "Are you sure there isn't anything better?" I ask hoping for something better than a diner. "Nope, this is the only place open unless you feel like cooking something on the road or pitching in to pay top-dollar for a steak." She was right. The only other places here that sell food besides the Japanese restaurant is that fancy place called Le Dare and also the market. "Fine I guess we'll take Japanese tonight. It's not because I'm racist or anything, I just had a bad time with Japanese food and Yang. Hopefully since Blake is here she will not try to make me puke again…

We walk in as a waiter sits us at a table by the window, handing us menus we go through them looking at all of the dishes. My guess Yang is already looking for Sake to drink. Well better just split a dish between Weiss so we won't cause any money problems. "Weiss, what will you be having?" as I ask she looks at me with a 'Just get your own food, Dolt' look. "Never-mind then." I quickly hide my face back into the menu. Well I guess I'd better get something small and cheap, the waiter comes back waiting for us to order our drinks, Unsurprisingly Yang orders two Sake bottles, I order a coke, and Blake, Nora and Weiss order water.

Minutes later the waiter arrives with our drinks and then asks for our orders, "I'll have the California Roll with a side dish of rice and Soy Sauce." I order, Weiss ordering some kind of raw milkfish sliced into multiple pieces with a bit of rice, Yang just ordering fried squid, Blake ordering spicy Salmon, and Nora ordering a fried milkfish and rice. "What? I just want something small and easy to consume." She retorts. Luckily the restaurant wasn't full so we got our food fast. "Nora, what will you do after you drop us off at our new homes?" I ask hoping she would answer, "Well, after that Geoff said he would put me on the FBI payroll and move Ren and I there to watch over you guys." She happily exclaims while eating the fish. Well Geoff guess you're trying that hard to get this guy behind bars. We finish the meal and get gas before filling up, "Hold on let me grab some coffee." Nora quickly exclaimed and ran inside. Seconds later she came out with a bag full of those energy shots. "I thought you said you were getting coffee." Weiss said. "Well this stuff is cheaper and I hate how the coffee tastes

*seconds earlier Nora's POV

I took a cup of the coffee and sipped it. Why does it taste like old fucking socks and sweat? I spit the coffee out in disgust and threw it into the garbage can. "Hey, you got to pay for that!" I end up paying him and out of the cornor of my eye spot a case of the energy shots I saw advertised days before. "Ummm how many cases of that stuff you got in stock?"

*Back to the present Rube's POV

I hoped she didn't do anything stupid. "Well now that's out of the way lets go!" She jumps in the car after drinking 4 of those and with Yang's cheering, we drive off.

A/N: Boo Fucking Hoo JARHEAD! Oh wait not you guys I was telling my intern that he isn't allowed near the cannons again. I apologize for this being short but like I said it was going to be filler for now. I hope you guys can understand why I just did this, I needed to continue the story without rushing the timeline of it as much as I can. So for now Fearmortali out PEACE! No don't touch that but- System shutting down.
