A/N: This one is actually two different prompts that are from a pal of mine. I decided it'd be more interesting just mixing 'em together. This is fluffy and adorable, and Ruby's a big goofball. What more do ya need? Kinda an AU in an AU, heh.

Ruby becomes popular, and gets into an odd situation.

Ruby is twelve years old. She has mastered her Semblance in such a way that she's able to maintain most of her energy when using it. Although she likes to occasionally use that extra energy to create rose petals in her wake. She found it relaxing to watch the petals swirl in the air and dissipate about her.

Due to the insistent urging from her gym coach, Ruby had joined her school's track team. She was nervous about it at first, not used to the kind of environment and having a bit of stage fright, knowing so many people will be watching her. Everyone on her team were very encouraging and didn't force her into uncomfortable situations though. Eventually, with the help of her new friends on the team, she was able to overcome her nervousness and embrace the attention.

After her first official track meet, she had become widely known for her speed. Though because it was her first one she was still nervous.

While she ran in bursts with her Semblance, rose petals would often appear, swirling everywhere around her. It left the audience in awe at the sight, and seeing the young girl win so many runs caused the crowd to burst into loud cheers. They gave her a nickname, since this new member was not very well known, and called her Whirlwind Rose.

The petals were like a signature for her, and it became well known to everyone who those petals belonged to.

She had been to a few small scale track meets after that, and her popularity only grew. To the young Rose's surprise, she even had a fan club.

All of the attention made her extremely flustered. Every once in a while she would have someone from the fan club go up to her and confess their unyielding love to her. Due to her tomboyish looks, she even had a few girls confess to her.

She always turned them down, of course, but the situation would always leave her face glowing red with a blush.

As much attention as she was getting, Ruby didn't entirely enjoy it. She wanted to get away from it all sometimes.

Ruby had found a nice secluded area in the school to go to during her lunch hour. It seemed none of the other students knew about this place. It was a small greenhouse near the back of the school. It was a well-kept, since none of the students knew about it to ruin its beauty.

Most of the time Ruby went there it was empty, though on a few occasions she would be greeted by the garden's caretaker. They didn't mind Ruby hiding out in the greenhouse, as long as she didn't harm the plants, it was fine.

It was a relatively quiet place, only the sounds of birds chirping interrupting the silence every now and then. She was glad to finally have moments of peace, away from all the loud fans that stalked her through the halls.

Today, her visit wasn't quite as uneventful as all the other days.

Ruby had just entered the greenhouse after finally losing all of her frenzied fans, thanks to the use of her Semblance. Looking around, she finds the gardener is not in today.

She walks past the rows of potted plants and bouquets of flowers, until she reaches the back. There is a small table and two chairs there, as well as a narrow bench nearby. There's also a back entrance to the greenhouse, but Ruby has never had any reason to use it.

She settles down in one of the chairs at the table, getting her lunch and setting it out. Before she could dig in though, she hears the rattle of a handle being turned, and suddenly the back doors burst open.

A young girl with a pale complexion and strikingly white hair rushes into the area, she looked to be around Ruby's age. She's wearing a blue blouse that was ruffled at the front, and a plaid red skirt. She also has on brown dress shoes and white knee high socks.

The girl quickly turns to close the doors behind her, locking them as well.

Ruby was at a loss for words, unsure of how to react in a situation like this.

The young girl waited by the door for a few beats before Ruby heard her sigh in relief. Straightening herself, the girl turned to survey her surroundings, only to freeze her gaze on Ruby.

Ruby's mouth felt dry as she looked into the girl's eyes. They were a crystal clear blue, and very beautiful to look at. Ruby was too busy being enamored with her eyes that she didn't notice the girl's scowl as she advanced toward her.

"You!" The girl shouted while pointing a finger at her, jolting Ruby from her daze.

"Wipe that goofy grin off your face. It's giving me the creeps."

Wait. She was smiling that whole time?

"Also stop staring at me. Say something at least!" The fair-skinned girl reprimanded, still nearing with her accusing finger.

Ruby got up from her chair and began to back pedal away from the irate girl, putting her hands in front of her as a sign of surrender.

"Ah. Um. Well. I…uh." Wow genius, so smooth.

Ruby had backed into a wire anchored in the ground which was holding one of the hanging plants up above. It was hanging right over the scolding girl.

She caused the wire to shake violently, making the hook the potted plant was suspended by sway, and causing it to fall off.

Without thinking, Ruby used her Semblance to rush forward, petals materializing, as she tackled into the girl. She had just barely moved both of them out of the way in time.

Ruby could hear the girl gasp in surprise at the sudden action, and at the sound of the pot shattering against the ground. A silence settled over them briefly, and they remained still for a moment.

Ruby soon propped herself up and looked down at the girl; relieved to find she was unharmed. She looked into the girl's eyes, losing herself once again in the mesmerizing icy orbs. The girl looked away quickly, her face tinging pink, before speaking to Ruby.

"Get off of me you dolt."

Ruby blinked, and realized the position she was in. She was practically straddling the pale girl. Blushing furiously, Ruby bolted up and off of the girl.

Tentatively she offered a hand to help her up, the girl sighed and accepted it, much to Ruby's relief. Ruby ended up using a bit more strength than she thought, causing the girl to stumble into her a bit awkwardly. Not wanting the girl to yell at her again, she used her Semblance to back away swiftly. Rose petals swirling a trail in the air.

"Oh, um. Sorry." She said nervously, rubbing the back of her head in embarrassment.

The girl looked at the peculiar rose petals in interest, watching them until they disappeared without a trace. She had a thoughtful look on her face, when suddenly she snapped her gaze at Ruby, making the dark haired girl's nerves go haywire. Ruby expected another scolding, but what she got instead was much different.

"I think I know you." The girl stated.

"You're that 'Whirlwind Rose' that I hear everyone boasting about recently."

Ruby was surprised that this girl had known about her, well her nickname, and was at a loss for words.

"Well, am I right?" The girl pressed on, impatiently tapping one foot on the ground.

Ruby stumbled over the words in her response.

"O-Oh. U-um, yeah. That's me alright." She gave a halfhearted chuckle, nervous about the other girl's reply.

"Hmm…" The other girl held a hand to her chin in thought.

"If you're so popular, why are you here alone?"

Ruby let out a small laugh.

"I guess I can't really handle it, y'know?" Ruby continued speaking before the girl could answer. "It's nice that everyone looks up to me and recognizes me, but sometimes it gets to be a bit too much to handle. Everyone wants to be around me, and it seems that I never get any time to myself. I know they don't mean to bother me. They're just too caught up in the hype, I guess. So I come here, where it's peaceful and quiet, so that I can relax. Away from all the noise."

Ruby realized she had been rambling. She blushed a little, feeling somewhat embarrassed as she tried to apologize. However before she could speak, a small, delicate hand covered her mouth. Ruby could feel her cheeks heat up, she hoped the other girl couldn't feel it too.

"You talk too much."

After removing her hand from over Ruby's mouth she continued.

"I guess it makes sense for you to want to hide out here. It has a rather pleasant scenery."

The pale girl waved her hand at the rest of the garden. Ruby gave her a goofy smile, but it soon disappeared as a realization dawned on her.

"Oh no!" She shouted, making the other girl jolt from her outburst. "The plant!"

Ruby rushed over to the shattered potted plant, holding the pieces in her hands in disdain. The girl watched her curiously.

"Oh man. If the gardener sees this he won't let me in here ever again." Ruby said pitifully.

The girl looked at her with sympathy. After all, none of this would have happened if she didn't show up. An idea entered her mind then.

"Hey." Ruby looked away from the fallen plant to the girl.

"Do you know if there's any extra pots around?" Ruby nodded her head. She smiled.

"Good. Then I think your troubles will be solved."

Ruby was confused. "What do you mean?"

"What I'm saying, dunce, is that we can still save this plant." The girl rolled her eyes, but there was no malice in her voice.

"Now go get a pot while I clean up this mess." The girl ordered.

Ruby stood up quickly, reflexively giving a salute to the girl. The action made her giggle, a hand trying to hide her smile. Ruby thought she looked prettier when she smiled.

Ruby dashed off, rose petals materializing in a frenzy, and retrieved a pot. She returned to the scene, finding that the girl had cleared the pot shards away. Upon spotting Ruby the girl waved her over.

"The plant doesn't seem too damaged, so all we need to do is put it in the new pot." She explained.

"If you can find some, we'll need some fresh soil as well."

Ruby set the pot down next to the girl and pointed a thumb at herself.

"Just leave it to me! I'll be sure to find some." The girl smiled at Ruby, making her heart skip a beat.

While Ruby rushed off to find out where the bags of soil were kept, the girl observed those mysterious rose petals that were left in her absence. She liked watching those petals dance in the air. It was partially the reason why she had the energetic girl go fetch the items they needed.

It didn't take Ruby long to spot what they needed in a corner near the front entrance. She grabbed a bag of fresh soil that was already opened and took it back to where the other girl waited.

She found that the plant was placed in the pot, but there wasn't a lot of soil in it. She dropped the bag near the girl, who looked at her skeptically.

"Don't think I'm going to do all of the work. You get to do this part. I don't really want to get it under my nails." The girl huffed.

"Sure thing princess." Ruby teased, smiling when the girl looked away with a blush.

"Don't call me that."

Ruby chuckled, and went to shovel handfuls of the soil into the new pot until it was enough. Once that was done, they replaced the hook onto the newly potted plant and managed to put it back on the wire without further trouble.

The two girls grinned in satisfaction at their handiwork. Then Ruby remembered that she wanted to ask the girl something since she first saw her.

"Hey." She started to get her attention. "What were you doing earlier? When you were rushing in here before."

The girl then began to fidget nervously, pulling at the hem of her skirt. The action was kind of cute actually.

"Well, I kind of…ran away." The girl admitted bashfully. Now Ruby was curious.

"May I ask why?"

There was a long pause. Ruby was afraid she may have been prying too much. She was going to tell the girl she didn't need to explain herself, but stopped when she finally spoke.

"I was lonely."

She sounded so dejected saying those three words.

Ruby didn't hesitate to approach the girl, and took her into a gentle embrace. She didn't notice it until now, but the girl was at least an inch shorter than her, which made Ruby cheer internally at being tall for once.

The girl stiffened in her hold, but soon she relaxed and returned the hug. Ruby could feel herself grinning like an idiot, but she didn't care. All she wanted right now was to make this girl feel better.

When they separated, Ruby was still smiling and it made the other girl return the smile with her own.

"By the way, my name's Ruby! What's yours?" She eagerly asked.

The pale girl stared into Ruby's silver eyes. Enjoying the sparkle of mirth she saw there. She wouldn't mind having this girl as her friend. It might turn out for an interesting future.

"I'm Weiss."

Omake:

Ruby: "So, I'm twelve years old! What about you?"

Weiss: "...I'm fourteen."

Ruby: "What?! But you're so tiny!"

Weiss: *Flicks Ruby's forehead* "Don't call me tiny!"

Ruby: "Ouch! Okay. Sorry." *Pouts*

Weiss: She's lucky she's cute.
