Just a quick head's up, this chapter may be shorter than the others, sry in advance. Roll it!
It had been a couple of weeks since I arrived in Beacon Academy, and I was making good use of my time there. Just the other day, I passed a test for Dr. Ooblek. He even congratulated me for it, that's what I thought he said, cause the guy talked way too fast for me to understand. I was also doing good in other subjects to, like astronomy, mathematics, and physics. I even met a couple more friends, such as team SSSN. These guys, are probably my favorite team I've met so far, who wouldn't like a team made out of dudes? I also got to know team JNPR a little bit more, apparently Jaune was brought to Beacon by a huge mistake, and he didn't accept any help from others, claiming he wanted to be "the hero of the story". But he eventually came to his senses, and let Pyrrha help him with his combat and life skills. Pyrrha herself was a one-woman army, when I fought her in sparring class, she floored me. Then there's Nora and Ren. Nora is the wildcard of the group, bubbly, ridiculously strong, and highly unpredictable. Ren is kind of like the Zen of the group, peaceful, calm in tone, and ferocious in combat. And then there was the biggest thing ever, Velvet. We would sometimes see each other after class, or on the weekends. We would always talk about homework, our lives, and our parents. When I told her about my father, she said she was sorry for me, and gave me a hug. I must've had a miniature stroke, because I blacked out right when she wrapped her arms around me. Me and her were getting along very well, and her teammates started to like me to, all except for Coco. Whenever she saw me and Velvet together, she would always stare me down with this aggravated face. I don't know why, but whenever she gave me that look, I felt a chill go down my spine. But moving on, I was getting along with Velvet very well, but something else was on my mind, how do I get her to be my girlfriend? I would spend hours in my dorm pacing, trying to think of a plan. 'Should I take her out on a date? Or should I just ask her now?' I would ask myself. This was seriously stressing me out, that is until one Saturday morning.
I had just gotten out of bed, and clothed myself, when my scroll went off. Ruby had sent me a message saying, 'Hey Garroth, wanna come over to our dorm to hang out?" I smiled and responded with, 'Sure, be right there 😊." It had been a long time with team RWBY, and I've never seen the inside of their dorm before. Once I had breakfast, I set off for their dorm. Once I got there, I knocked on the door three times. Then I heard what appeared to be barking coming from the other side. The door then proceeded to open, and a small, black and white colored corgi, jumped onto me, and surprisingly knocked me to the ground. The dog then started to growl at me, until Ruby came over and picked it up.
"Zwei! Bad boy!" she scolded, "It's rude to treat new guests like that!" The dog, Zwei, began to whimper. "I am so sorry Garroth," Ruby said, "he always like this around people he doesn't know."
"It's cool," I replied, "he seems like a cute little guy. Do you think I can pet him?" Ruby nodded, and placed Zwei back on the ground. Just before the corgi was about to pounce on me again, I stuck my hand in front of his nose, allowing him to sniff it. He then started to lick my hand, I giggled, and pet his head. "Is he your dog?" I asked, as Zwei rolled onto his back, demanding a belly rub.
"Yeah, he's me and Yang's dog." Ruby responded. "My dad had to leave our house for a few days, so he sent him to us." Ruby then opened the door up all the way, allowing me to walk into the dorm with Zwei close behind. The dorm was similar to mine, with all the rooms that mine had. But there were a few differences from mine, it had a lot more posters, and there were four beds. The beds were in the style of bunkbeds, with one bed being held from the ceiling by a rope, and the other stacked with books. "Well this is our dorm," Ruby said, "what do you think?"
"It looks cool," I replied happily, "I like the bunk beds." While I was at their dorm, I got to know team RWBY a little bit more. Ruby showed me her semblance when I asked if I could have a drink, and she rushed to the kitchen and back faster than I could blink. And apparently her scythe, Crescent Rose, can also turn into sniper rifle. Weiss was the heir of the Schnee dust company, and her weapon of choice was a rapier named Myrtenaster. Her semblance was that she could create glyphs to summon ice. Blake's weapon was the oddest one I've seen, it was called Gambol Shroud. It had the ability to turn into a katana, and a pistol. She also could swing it around with a ribbon on her arm, and her semblance was the ability to create clones of herself. Blake was also a bookworm, always talking about her books, and how much she liked them. As for Yang, I already explained her weapon, but her semblance is the coolest one I've seen. She absorbs damage done to her, and adds it to her own strength. I liked these girls a lot, after all, I was there biggest fan. But in the back of my mind, I was only thinking of Velvet. I must've been thinking hard, because Blake was able to notice me talking to myself.
"Hey Garroth, are you ok?" she asked, snapping me out of my deep thoughts. I ignored her and started to think again, but no matter how much I tried, I just couldn't think of a plan. I decided that I couldn't do this alone, and needed help.
"I have something very important to tell you all." I said. We all sat down at the dining table, and told them about me having a crush on Velvet, why I liked her, and how I couldn't think about what to do. All of team RWBY looked at me with serious faces, especially Blake. When I asked why, she revealed something I wasn't expecting. She undid her bow, to reveal two small cat ears on the top of her head. Blake, was a faunus. She told me how she was once part of the White Fang, and how she hurt innocent lives for faunus equality. I felt sympathy for her, and gave her a forgiving hug. When all that drama was out of the way, I then asked the ultimate question, "What do I do?"
"Well, there are the usual things." Weiss explained, "You could get her flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep." I just looked at her with a face that said, 'really?'
"maybe you could take her somewhere." Blake suggested.
"You mean I should, take her on a date?" I asked.
"Weeelll, sort of." Yang answered. "You don't wanna take out to something big like a fancy restaurant just yet. If I know dating like I think I know dating, you've got to start of small, and work your way up."
"So your saying I should take Velvet to something small," I interpreted, "like what?"
"Maybe you can take her to a picnic on the beach." Blake suggested.
"Or maybe for a night on the town!" Yang added.
"Or how about a sleep over?" Ruby chipped in. Weiss facepalmed, and looked at Ruby in disgust.
"Really Ruby, a sleep over?" Weiss asked, "That's the most childish thing I've ever-"
"That's a great idea!" I suddenly shouted, cutting Weiss off. "A slumber party sounds like the perfect idea, I better start getting ready for it. Thanks for the advice everyone!" And with that, I rushed out of the dorm to get ready for tonight, leaving Weiss completely speechless.
Well, it looks like Garroth finally has a plan of action, in the form of a sleepover. I hope you guys like this chapter, leave a review or PM me if you did. See you next chapter, PEACE!
