Welp more.
Chapter 10:
Yawning as she rubbed her eyes, Ruby started to sit up in a room she didn't recognise too well. Looking around her she could see a few of the people she had been drinking with for... she had no idea how long. On either side she could see one empty space on one of the beds causing her to just smile. 'More sleep does seem like a good idea. Help get rid of this hangover.' Ruby thought as she stood up on shaky legs.
'That's it... no more drinking till I'm married.' Ruby thought as she climbed into the bed with someone she couldn't even see the head of, but that didn't matter to her. She had just closed her eyes when she could hear someone pound on a door. One she wasn't bothered to check. But she had to admit that it was starting to get on her nerves.
She could hear some shifting on the floor towards the sound followed by the door opening.
"Sir, are these two part of your party?" The Voice sounded as she could hear a sigh coming from whoever was at the door.
"Yeah, sorry about them. Did they cause any damage?" the voice spoke as Ruby tried to run down a list of men she knew that sounded like that. Shifting around in the bed, Ruby cracked an eye open just because going down the list of men she knew was a lot harder than she thought. She almost snickered at the sight of Mercury standing at the door grabbing a familiar monkey Faunus by the scruff of the neck and pulled him in.
"They were indecent in public. They should be glad we won't be pressing charges." The man continued as Mercury reached out and pulled in a doctor that Ruby hadn't seen in a while raising more questions, but not nearly as much as the flippers on his feet while he held in his hands a pair of swimming goggles.
"Don't worry, we'll have a long talk to them about this." Mercury continued causing Ruby to nearly laugh, if she wasn't trying to be still asleep and if her head didn't hurt nearly as much as it did. She was pretty sure that if she opened her mouth to laugh it would feel like someone would be drilling into her head with an airhorn.
As Mercury closed the door, laughing a little at the state the two people were in. "What's with the get up... and it must really be cold in here if you can hide your dick in a tiny sombrero like that." Mercury taunted the both of them as she could feel her companion in the bed shift and started to pull her closer.
"He's a grower not a shower. And I have no idea what happened. I still don't remember the last three days." Neptune said causing Ruby's eyes to snap open fully sitting upright.
"What did you say? How long have we been drinking?" Ruby asked loud enough to cause her some pain but if what Neptune said she was going to be just fine with that.
"Don't know when you guys started but I've been drinking since Monday night." Neptune said rubbing his neck causing Ruby to just glare at him. At the affirmation that she needed, Ruby started to fight the arms wrapped around her. Trying her hardest to ignore the fact the arms started to grip harder and harder. Looking down she could see the green haired woman staying asleep with Blake holding onto her.
Rolling her eyes, Ruby shoved her fingers into her mouth and let out a near ear shattering whistle. As the people woke up getting ready to glare at her when they all seemingly started to back down. "So as Neptune just informed us, I'm meant to be married in..." Ruby began as she looked towards the alarm clock on the nightstand separating the beds. "Four hours and ignoring the fact that I'm missing practically everything after us shoving Yang into the living room of the ship because she was being a buzzkill. We should start fucking leaving because if I'm late I'm going to stab literally every last one of you."
"Relax, we are like a mile away from the hotel you guys are tying the knot at." Ruby heard coming from the next bed. "Now can someone explain why Adam is where my girlfriend was?" Yang asked causing Ruby to rub her eyes harder.
"One thing at a time Yang. I can't do multiple problems at once right now. What we need is to get to where I'm meant to be wed, then we move onto Blake and Emerald probably banging because they both are naked spooning and trying to make me ride bitch in the spoon stack... then we go onto Sun and Neptune banging, then we go to the you having a girlfriend then we can talk about Adam." Ruby said rubbing her eyes once again. She couldn't believe the one thing she didn't want to happen was happening.
As Ruby went down the list she could hear a small laugh at the sound of Blake gasping a little. "They didn't bang unless it was after I went to sleep. But to be fair Sun and Neptune were both still in the room." Yang said as she started to climb out of the bed. Rubbing her eyes as she was fully exhausted at this point already. "By the way Ruby you are getting a punch at the reception." Yang continued as she started to walk towards the bathroom.
"If you need to know why, I'll give you a hint, last night was the first night I was allowed to sleep on a bed and not locked in a confined space." Yang said as Ruby just rolled her eyes. "Seriously who decides to lock the sober one in a broom closet, or bathroom, or wardrobe."
"Don't be a buzz kill then. I'm sure my reasoning was other wise flawless. So hurry up. The naked people need to get dressed, and the clothed people need to get the fuck ready to leave." Ruby said as she could hear a yawn coming from Sun as he started to climb into the bed next to his brother.
"We need to do this again." Sun yawned as Ruby glared at him. She knew that he was going to be able to ignore her, but it wasn't going to stop her. "You know, just not with the buzzkill... Ren and Cat can party though." Sun continued as Ruby just rolled her eyes.
"Sun, I swear I'm seconds away from popping you. I told you I didn't want to get married hungover or drunk." Ruby said softly as she grabbed her bangs trying to distract her from the feeling of her skull wanting to blow apart from the back. Not to mention the nausea she was feeling was pretty terrible as well.
"If we stop at the hospital I can probably get you something to give you a temporary pick me up."
"Deal if we have time."
"Don't tell me to calm down!" Pyrrha snapped at Summer as she continued to pace frantically. She couldn't believe that this was even happening. Standing still, Pyrrha took a deep breath as if that would even be able to calm her down at this point. To her it was like trying to use a watering can to put out an inferno. "Over half the wedding party isn't here, most of the guests are in some illegal business I'd rather not think about what and they seem to be seconds away from creating bodies, my maid of honour is busy getting sick because she keeps stuffing her face with candy that I keep telling her to lay off of and oh yeah, my soon to be wife is god knows where!" Pyrrha yelled knowing that Summer was going to just accept being the lightning rod for Pyrrha's anger.
Even if it wasn't something that she did or caused. Making Pyrrha all that much more thankful for her being there. "I'll deal with Nora. Tai is getting a hold of the group, and the groups are currently staying at arm's reach from each other. Even if they weren't the hotel has some extra security in. don't worry about those problems. Go get your makeup and hair done." Summer said calmly as Pyrrha just frowned a little. "Trust me. The second you start showing Ruby something like you panicking she is going to have a field day doing what she normally does of mocking psychiatry." Summer continued as she started to lead Pyrrha towards the door.
As Pyrrha left she took another deep breath as she started to walk towards the room she just sighed as she knew Summer was right. She should leave it in her capable hands. She would know how to handle the situation. Even if it was something that made just about zero sense.
Summer smiled as she walked towards the bathroom, knocking on it lightly as she opened the door a crack to see Nora with her head in the toilet. "I'm fine Pyrrha... one pound of those chalk like candies is my limit. Now we know. I should be fine by the time we need to be in our dresses." Nora muttered as Summer just shook her head.
"She already thinks otherwise. But it is my job to make sure you are." Summer said as she quickly as she left the door frame to reappear with the room phone. As she looked at Nora seemingly getting a second wind, Summer lightly stepped a few feet forward and pushed Nora's head down. "Nora, honey, if you weren't this bad, I wouldn't be helping you... and my family remedy is a little... strange, and will make even the strongest of stomachs get sick." Summer continued as she walked back and quickly dialled the front desk.
"Hi, this is bride for the wedding's mother. Um, this is a strange request but can you send somebody up with some bacon grease, baking soda, some baking powder, some fish oil and the strongest blackest tea you have?" Summer spoke in a half lie as she could hear the door opening a little causing her to step out and looking at Tai entering holding his hand over his eyes. "Okay, send it up fast. It is for the bride." Summer added hanging up the phone as she walked over to her husband and lightly batted his hand away.
"According to Yang they just woke up not that long ago and will be here within the hour. They have to try and mend the hangover they all are feeling from a long binge." Tai said keeping his eyes closed causing a small laugh from Summer.
"It is just Nora and myself and we both are decent. Pyrrha left to go get makeup and her hair done. Nora is currently hugging the toilet. Back on topic, did Yang... you know... slip?" Summer asked knowing how hard it was for Tai to make it to his first year, that kind of thing on Yang would have been murder.
"No. She is our little sun dragon. Once she promises something she tries to keep it. Even Ruby was supposedly good despite the company she keeps. All she did was drink in excess." Tai knew that was what worried Summer more than Yang's sobriety. Even if she didn't let on to that one small detail. "By the way... what has Nora sick? Was it the dodgy ham?" Tai asked as Summer just shook her head.
"If that was the cause you'd be sick as well. She just ate a pound of love heart like candies. So I'm going to make my family's remedy for eating too much candy." As Summer stated that one fact she could see Tai begin to cringe at the notion of what his daughter in law's best friend was going to need to drink.
"You sure she isn't like... pregnant or something?" Tai asked hoping that was the case for Nora's well being.
"If you don't want to hear it or see it, go out and wait for the bulk of the wedding party to get here. Don't stand there being rude." Summer said as Tai quickly nodded and started to leave the room. He didn't want to imagine what the room was going to be like. As Tai nearly sprinted out of the room, Summer smiled as she could see someone pushing a cart.
"Thank you." Summer said as she stopped the man at the door and started to make a paste like concoction from the things she just smirked at how it always had the same reaction. Dropping the past into the tea, she started to mix it and turned to the man as she grabbed the cup. "That hopefully will be all." Summer said closing the door with a smile as she walked back into the bathroom where she could see Nora hadn't moved.
"Okay Nora... you are going to need to sit up for a bit." Summer stated as she could see the ginger haired girl sit up seeing a cup in the woman's hand.
"Okay."
