When we last saw Garroth (I am running out of opening phrases), he went to go see team RWBY, and they helped him out on trying to win Velvet's heart. Now he's going to throw a slumber party with her, and no, there's not gonna be any smut or alcohol, I'm not that kind of writer. Anyway, enjoy the chapter!
I was standing outside of team CVFY's dorm, scared out of my wits. 'You can do this Garroth,' I told myself, 'you just have to knock on the door, and ask her.' But I was still nervous, I mean, what if she rejected my offer, then what would I do? I started freaking out, and slapped myself in the face. I took a deep breath, and knocked three times on the door. Surprisingly, Velvet was the one who answered the door.
"Hey Garroth," she said smiling, "what's up?" This was it, the time has come to ask her the ultimate question!
"Hi Velvet," I worriedly said, "would you like to come over to my dorm tonight for a slumber party?" I closed my eyes and braced myself for her answer, waiting her to say no. But to my surprise, she said the opposite.
"Sure, I'd love to." she replied. Once again, my heart skipped a beat, two of them this time.
"Really?" I asked.
"Of course," Velvet said, "I've never been to a sleep over before, so it'll be an exciting new experience!"
"Alright then," I said, "meet me at my dorm at five o'clock tonight." Velvet nodded, and started to close the door, but not before Coco flashed me another death stare. But I didn't seem to notice, I was too busy celebrating. "YES!" I shouted, pumping my fist into the air, "NAILED IT!" I then rushed back to my dorm to get ready for tonight.
I managed to get all my homework for Ooblek done, so I wouldn't have to do it all on Sunday. While I still had some time left, I made a list of everything we would do, and the headed out to Vale to buy some supplies. I bought snacks, movies, and even got some face cream. By the time I got back to my dorm, it was 4:55, nearly time for the sleep over. I decided to switch out my cloths and combat gear for my pajamas. My pj's consisted of a white and blue stripped shirt, and green pants with little red race cars on them. My mom knitted them herself, and I've been wearing them ever since. Since I only had one bed, I placed a second pillow on it, so that Velvet could sleep on it to. And then, I waited, for about five minutes. It just turned 5:00 when I heard a knock at the door. I opened it up, and saw Velvet, wearing her pj's as well. She wore a dark brown shirt with hazel spots, fluffy brown pants, and two slippers that looked like bunnies. She also had a stuffed teddy bear in her arms.
"You look cute." I said, getting Velvet to giggle.
"Thanks," she replied, "you don't look to bad yourself." I decided to address the Goliath in the room.
"What's with the bear?" I asked.
"Oh, I usually cuddle it when I sleep." Velvet explained, "People say I'm a baby because of it."
"Hey, I'm not judging." I said, "If you want to sleep with a teddy, then you can sleep with a teddy." Velvet smiled at my response, and walked inside my dorm. "Shall we get this slumber party started?" I asked my guest.
"Let's do it." Velvet said.
The first thing we did was a relaxing beauty treatment, accompanied by calming music. Velvet sat in a chair, and I rubbed the cream I brought all over her face, and placed two cucumbers over her eyes. I did the same for myself, and we both sat in the chairs, relaxing for a couple of minutes. Velvet said that she had never felt this relaxed, and she was right, the treatment was really soothing. Even though the cream stung like all hell, I endured it. After we washed our faces off, I decided to prepare some dinner. I made a large bowl of spaghetti and meatballs, topped with tomato sauce. I poured it into two medium bowls, and served it with a large class of soda. Velvet instantly fell in love with the meal, saying it was the most delicious bowl of noodles she ever ate. I told her it was my mom's special recipe, and that she taught me how to cook it at a young age. After our tummies were stuffed, it was time to tell each other spooky stories. I told Velvet the story of the midnight stalker, a man who wore a cloak, and would snatch up children in the night. Her bunny ears stood up straight, and she made little 'meep' noises. I decided to stop scaring the crap out of her, and play video games instead. We played my favorite fighting game, "Kung-Fu Ninja Slayer Ultimate Death Battle 2", even though the first one was way better. I completely wreaked Velvet on the first couple of times, but when she got a hang of the controls, she beat me 5 times in a row. I got so angry that I threw a pillow at her, knocking her to the ground.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" I shouted, checking to see if Velvet was okay.
"Oh, IT, IS, ON!" she said, as she grabbed her own pillow, and whacked me with it. We then had ourselves a friendly pillow fight, until it turned 7:39 PM. It was time to make smores, the ultimate sleep over dessert. Velvet said that she never had one before, so I decided to show her how to make it. I lit the fireplace, stuck a marshmallow on a stick, and stuck it into the fire until it was a nice golden brown. I then stuck it in between to gram crackers with chocolate, and handed it to Velvet. When she took one bite out of it, her pupils widened, and a huge smile formed on her face. She was instantly into it, eating it with only two huge bites. I then put several movies on the ground, and told Velvet to choose. She instantly pointed at a children's musical, it was called, "Little Bunny Foo-Foo". I honestly didn't realize I grabbed that one in the store, but I put in the DVD player anyway. I put out several snacks to go along with the movie, including popcorn, nachos, chips, and pretzel bits. The movie itself was, in a word, cheesy. The animation was okay in kid's movie standards, but the songs were really corny, and they got stuck in my head. But Velvet seemed to like it, she even sang along to some of the musical numbers. The film lasted one hour, because when it ended, it was 8:40. Velvet yawned, and stretched her arms. I figured that she was getting tired, and decided to call it a night. We both took turns in the bathroom, and then headed for the bed.
"Thanks for the great night Garroth," Velvet said tiredly, "I had a great time."
"Me to," I replied, "good night Velvet."
"Good night Garroth." We then snuggled up in our blankets, and eventually dozed off.
I must've slept for 5 hours, until I got up in the middle of the night because I had to use the bathroom. 'darn it, must've drank too much soda.' I thought to myself. I hopped out of the bed, went to the bathroom, did my business, and came back out. I was ready to climb back in bed, when I noticed something wrong about Velvet, she was tossing and turning. I walked over to her side of the bed, and saw she was also taking in her sleep.
"No, please Cardin, please don't." she whimpered. It was clear that Velvet was having a nightmare, and I needed to wake her up.
"Velvet, wake up!" I shouted, shaking her. She then woke up with a scream, and instantly jerked up. She then cried, balling her eyes out into the palms of her hands. "Are you ok?" I asked her.
"N-no, I-I'm not!" she stuttered. I sat right beside her, and stoked my hand through her hair to comfort her.
"It was just a nightmare Velvet," I reassured her, "none of it was real."
"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!" she shouted at the top of her lungs. Her sudden explosion startled me so much that I almost fell of the bed. Velvet regained her composure, and explained to me what Cardin does to her. "He constantly harasses me, just because I'm a faunus. He tugs my ears, and calls me an animal. I've tried to ignore him, but his words always seem to hurt me." Tears continued to stream down her face, and she sniffled constantly. I went to the bathroom to get some tissues for her. She gladly excepted them, and blew her nose.
"What exactly happened in your dream?" I asked. Velvet wiped the tears from her face, and looked at me.
"I was in complete darkness, and he was there with me." she managed to say in between sniffles. "He called me an abomination, an outrage against nature! He also said that I will never belong here, and I'll always be a freak! He then took out a cleaver, and he…. he….." Velvet paused, and looked up at her rabbit ears, and I knew what happened next. "He makes me ashamed about my heritage!" she said. I had about enough and was ready to give her my opinion.
"That's bullcrap!" I shouted, gaining her attention. "You shouldn't be ashamed about who you are Velvet, because who you are makes you special. Even if you do have rabbit ears, I still accept you as a friend." Velvet wiped the tears from her eyes, and blew her nose one more time.
"Re-really?" she asked.
"Of course," I replied, "I don't care if you have rabbit ears, if you have a rhino horn, or even if you have gills! And this Cardin kid is a real jerk, who's trying to mess with your head. He judges you because of how you look on the outside, never because of who you are on the inside. You're a shy and sensitive person Velvet, and that's why I like you." Velvet smiled, and wrapped her arms around me, causing me to blush.
"Thank you Garroth," she said, "thank you for being my friend." I smiled as we hugged each other. Velvet then fell asleep in my arms, I giggled and placed her back under the covers. I then laid down in the bed, and thought about what just happened. I had just completed phase one of my plan.
Well, that went in several directions. For those of you wondering why Coco hates Garroth, don't worry, it will be explained in the next chapter. Also, a shout out to any RWBY Chibi fans who got the references I put in this chapter. Speaking of the chapter, leave a review is you liked it, helps out a lot. See you later, PEACE.
