RWBY and JNPR's twisted lives
Non-canon no. 2
xxxxxxxxxxxx
Ruby smiled as she was currently walking through town with a box of some cookies from the bakery she was sent out to grab for hers and team JNPR. Course both teams came with to make sure Ruby didn't eat all of them.
"Triple Chocolate chip cookies." she drools. "Milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate."
"Try not to drool over them." spoke Weiss.
"My sweet tooth is going crazy."
"So is my stomach, I say we eat now!" declared Nora with a grin.
"No you two, we have to get back to beacon." Yang spoke. "You can wait."
"Awww." pouted Ruby and Nora.
Ruby looked at the box of cookies. 'Don't eat the cookies, Don't eat the cookies, Don't eat the cookies, Don't… Eat… The-'
She was snapped out of her thoughts as she and the others started feeling the ground start shaking.
"What's going on!" Nora cried.
"Earthquake!" Jaune cried out as they all tried to stay balanced as the shaking got worse.
"PROTECT THE COOKIES!" Ruby shrieked.
Blake fell on the ground and looked at the ground to see a crack coming straight towards them. "The ground, it's cracking!"
Both teams rushed to scatter, except for Ruby who was too shaken up to hear her.
"Huh?" She looked down to see the crack in the earth right between her feet. "Uh oh."
"NO! RUBY!" Yang screamed as she tried running for her sister, but Weiss, Pyrrha, and Blake held her back.
The ground started splitting, making Ruby wobble until the ground opened up and she found herself falling down the darkness.
"YAAAAAANNNnnnnnngggggg!" Ruby cried out as her voice slowly disappeared along with her form in the darkness.
"LET ME GO! LET ME GO!" Yang struggled.
"Jumping down there won't save her! We need a plan." Pyrrha tried reasoning with Yang.
"SHE'S MY LITTLE SISTER DAMNIT!" tears started forming in Yang's eyes as her resolve crumbled. "Ruby."
"We'll find her. Promise." spoke Blake with reassurance.
Deep beneath the surface, Ruby groaned as she opened her eyes. She carefully tried to sit up and saw there was darkness all around her with little light. "Aye Caramba mi Cabeza."
She managed to get back on her feet and saw the box of cookies near her feet was smashed.
"NOOOOOOO!" she cried out in despair as the image of her eating the cookies shattered before her eyes. "Why did this have to happen? Is it karma for all the people whose limbs I cut off?"
She heard cracking up ahead and the wall began to break apart. It fell apart and Ruby saw a glowing teal stone. "Is that Dust?"
She walked closer and felt an odd power coming from the stone.
"RUBY!" Yang called again into the dark opening.
"YANG!"
"ARE YOU ALRIGHT!"
"NO! THE COOKIES ARE CRUSHED TO CRUMBS! ALSO I THINK I BROKE MY TUSHIE!"
"She's fine." sighed Yang in relief. "HANG ON! WE'RE GETTING YOU OUT OF THERE!"
"ALSO I THINK I FOUND A DUST CRYSTAL, A REALLY BIG ONE!"
"Blake, you go down there and get her, I'll hold onto the wire." Yang stood up with a serious expression.
"I'll use my Glyphs and follow you down." said Weiss.
Blake embedded her blade in the ground while Yang had a hand on the wire as she started descending down into the dark.
Weiss jumped down, using her Glyphs as steps.
She landed on the bottom with Blake not far behind.
"Hey guys, what took you so long?" Ruby said standing in front of the large crystal.
"Sorry, but this place doesn't have an elevator." replied Blake rolling her eyes.
"Look at the size of that Dust." Weiss gazed at the stone. "But it doesn't look like any I've ever seen."
"Well I'm naming it!" beamed Ruby. "And I shall call it, triple chocolate cookie Dust. In memory of the brave cookies who lost their crumbly deliciousness"
…
"Uh...Maybe you should actively see what it does first before making it." Weiss resisted the urge to facepalm at her idiocy.
"Well I did touch it and felt a tingle up my arm." she admitted.
"Then it must be pretty powerful, let's get a sample to test later and I'll call my families company and see about getting an excavation crew to get the rest."
"Right-o!" Ruby wiped out Crescent Rose and brought the blade down before hacking small pieces off "Now let's get out of here and get more cookies."
Weiss walked over and carefully scooped the pieces up with an empty Dusty container and sealed it shut.
Once they reached the surface Yang embraced Ruby. "Oh thank goodness! I thought you were a goner"
"Not to worry. I'm ok, but the cookies…." it was like a spotlight shined on Ruby. "They will be missed.
"Okay, Miss Drama Queen let's get some more and head back to beacon. Sound good?"
"Yeah!"
The two teams arrived back at school where they started examining the odd Dust.
"Oooh! Maybe it's more explosive than my necklace!" Ruby lit a match and moved it close to the crystal.
Yang grabbed her sister's arm and blew out the match "Knock it off Ruby"
"It might be some aphrodisiac." spoke Nora while sending a grin towards Ren.
"We won't know until we use it." said Weiss. "Jaune, you test it out."
"Hey! I found it, I should test it." Ruby whined
"You were ready to light it on fire. So excuse me if I prefer to not have a crater here."
"Yoink!" Ruby snatched it.
"Ruby no!" Yang cried out.
The older sister was too late to stop her sister as she used her aura to activate the Dust
The result was a bright glow to encompass Ruby with everyone else covering their eyes.
The light dimmed and they looked to her. All their eyes nearly popped out of their skulls as they saw Ruby's clothes on the floor with a small shape under them.
"RUBY!" Yang walked over and crouched down before looking under the clothes. "Oh my…"
"What? What is it?" asked Pyrrha.
"I-It's Ruby." Yang reached under the clothes and slowly pulled out a toddler with black hair that had red tips.
Everyone gawked at what they were looking at
"That's….Ruby?" Weiss asked pointing a finger to the baby.
"Pfft!" the toddler blew a raspberry.
"Wow. Glad I didn't test it." Jaune muttered.
"We need to tell Ozpin about this." Pyrrha stated.
"Agreed." spoke Blake who swore baby Ruby was staring at her with an odd glint in her eyes.
Glynda and Ozpin blinked, having no words to describe what they were looking at. Baby Ruby was in Yang's arms and seemed trying to find milk, more precisely, from Yang's chest.
"I must say this… is an interesting development." Ozpin spoke.
"Luckily I sent the rest to my families company before anyone got close to it, so we should have some kind of reason she was changed and might have an antidote in no time." spoke Weiss.
"But what do we do about Ruby in the meantime?" Yang asked
"I suggest keeping watch over her to make sure she stays safe." spoke Ozpin. "Glynda, see what you can do about clothing.
"Hmm, I might have something." Glynda held the crop up and made the red curtains swirl around as the students saw the red get smaller until the curtains became a small set of a red hood with matching pants.
The toddler cooed and smiled at the display.
"You've been meaning to get new curtains anyway." spoke Glynda.
Jaune caught the small clothing as Yang wiggled her finger in front of Ruby's face.
"Now since your team leader is out of commission, one of you must take her place." spoke the head master.
"I volunteer." spoke Weiss with a grin.
"I thought you would. Very well Miss. Schnee, for the time being you will lead team RWBY."
"Yes sir." nodded Weiss.
The students left the office with Ruby now fully dressed.
"Since you'll be watching over her, Team JNPR will be doing the same." spoke Nora looking at Ruby with an unusual look in her eyes.
"Hey, last I check I was team leader." Jaune spoke. "Don't go making decisions for the entire team."
"I'm just saying, as the future mother of Ren's children, it might be helpful to keep Ruby safe and happy." she spoke holding her hands up. "Mind if I hold her Yang?"
Yang was hesitant considering her sister was much more vulnerable, but Nora did seem to genuinely want to help.
"Alright, but be careful."
Nora nodded with a smile as Yang held Ruby out who was gently held by Nora.
"Eh?" the toddler tilted her head looking at Nora.
"Aw, who's a cute little girl? You are, yes you are." smiled Nora.
"Mama."
Nora squealed and a got a large smile. "That sounds so right."
"Pfft!" Ruby blew a raspberry.
"And do you know who this is?" Nora held Ruby out to face Ren.
"Dada."
Nora squealed again while Ruby turned towards Blake and reached towards her.
"Looks like she wants to go to Blake now." spoke Pyrrha.
Nora pouted, but relented and walked over before putting Ruby into Blake's arms.
"Uh, I'm no good with kids." Blake said to them
"Kiki." cooed Ruby who surprised them by carefully climbing up Blake's body and got on top of her bow with a sigh.
"Hey! Get down from there.
Blake tried to pick her up, but Ruby's eyes glistened. "Waaaaaahhhh!"
"Well at least now her outer self matches her inner self." Weiss grinned.
Ruby sniffled while Blake didn't try to remove her for fear of getting another earful of her crying.
"Come on, let's get her something to eat, that always calmed her down." Yang said.
All of them were in agreement and made their way to the cafeteria.
"Alright let's see, we need soft foods since she doesn't have teeth."
"Future mother on the job." saluted Nora before she and Ren walked to go get the food. "Mashed potatoes, applesauce, and… what else?"
Ren patted his shoulder and snapped his fingers.
"Right, Milk." Nora smiled.
Ruby sat in Yang's lap kicking her feet as she babbled.
"It's amazing to see her like this without the extreme sense." spoke Weiss watching her.
"Believe me, Ruby always was difficult, but never as bad as she was after…" Yang stopped talking and looked down to Ruby.
Ruby looked up at Yang and raised her little arms up.
"Oh Ruby." she grasped the little hand.
Ruby giggled as Yang picked her up and cradled her in her arms.
"We're back!" spoke Nora placing a tray of food on the table and snatching Ruby from Yang.
Yang watched as Nora set Ruby on her lap while Ren handed her a container of mashed potatoes.
"Thank you." spoke Nora. She got some of it with a spoon and held it in front of Ruby. "Open up Ruby, Ah."
Ruby shyly opened her mouth and and ate the food presented to her. She ate it and swallow without any problems.
"Nom nom." the toddler swallowed.
"Want more?" asked Nora with a smile.
"So you dorks finally got a kid." Cardin walked up to them
"Cardin, don't start." spoke Blake with narrow eyes.
"This isn't a day care." Cardin said. "You wanna play house, then dropout of beacon."
"Cardin, you really wanna start?" Yang stood up while cracking her knuckles. "Nora, Ren, cover her eyes."
Just as Cardin started backing away, a spoon hit him square between his eyes.
"Bad." Ruby cooed out with a frown.
"Woah, nice aim!" Nora smiled.
Ruby giggled while Cardin rubbed the spot he got hit. "Dang, who's kid is that anyway?"
"Technically, mine since that's my sister." frowned Yang.
"Siste-" his eyes went back to the toddler glaring at him with silver eyes and grabbing a fork. "Uh oh."
"Ya!" Ruby chucked the fork. It flew and made a small scratch on Cardin's cheek.
"Gah! You and your sisters are psychos!" he started running.
They looked at Ruby who giggled in Nora's lap.
"Does that make anyone else concerned?" Jaune questioned.
"Maybe we should keep the forks away from her." suggested Pyrrha.
"Good call." said Blake.
Nora resumed getting more potatoes and bringing them to Ruby's mouth. She continued eating until she could eat no more.
"Good girl." Nora wiped around Ruby's mouth with a napkin.
"I wonder if she can walk at all?" Weiss tapped her chin.
"Let's find out." grinned Nora. She knelt to the ground and set Ruby on her feet.
Ruby tried to stay on her feet as Nora pulled her hands away. She balanced herself and looked at them.
"Come on Ruby, walk towards me." smiled Yang.
The toddler started moving her feet, nearly losing balance. She kept moving her feet towards Yang's open arms.
"That's it Ruby, you got it."
Ruby walked over and smiled reaching Yang with her picking Ruby up.
"Like watching her first steps all over again."
"If she thinks Nora and Ren are her parents, what do you think she sees the rest of us as?" Jaune asked.
"I'd rather not find out." Weiss spoke up
"Oh come on. She's more calm and innocent. What are you worried about?" Yang said ready to let Ruby walk over to Nora.
"The last thing I want is her giving me an annoying nickname and calling me it when she goes back to normal."
"What if she could activate her Aura or even her Semblance?" Pyrrha spoke up.
Ren patted his shoulders and flicked a strand of his hair.
"Yeah, what are the chances of that happening." Nora said as Ruby noticed the door opening
"Ooh." Ruby cooed walking towards it past Nora.
"Come back here you-" Weiss reached for Ruby seeing where she was heading towards. "The door!"
Jaune walked over to block her, but suddenly found the space empty as Ruby was gone and the door swung open even more.
"You had to say something about her Semblance." Weiss looked to Pyrrha.
"After her!" Yang shouted.
They took off after Ruby, with said toddler stopping and found herself crawling around the front of the school.
She looked around and saw Coco reading a fashion catalogue. She crawled over and tugged on her pant leg.
"Huh?" Coco looked down at what it was.
"Up." Ruby cooed out raising her small arms up.
"Where did you come from?" Coco kneeled down to grab the baby. "Huh? You look like that Ruby girl."
Ruby let out a giggle then reached out to grab Coco's sunglasses and put them over her own eyes.
"Aw, aren't you the cutest little rugrat." she smiled setting Ruby down on her lap. "I should take you to Ozpin,"
Ruby pouted and made a little whimper hearing that.
"Oh no no, it's okay."
"There she is!"
Coco and Ruby looked to see Yang and the others running over.
"Bu By." the toddler waved as she carefully climbed down Coco's legs and onto the ground before zipping off again.
"Hey Coco," Yang waved as they ran passed her.
Coco stared at them running past her and realized the toddler still had her sunglasses. "That little-."
"Ruby! Get back here!" Yang cried out as Ruby's form slowly disappeared.
"Man, how is she even faster on those little legs?" Jaune remarked
"Less wind resistance?" guessed Pyrrha.
"It was a rhetorical question!"
Ruby found her way back inside and waddled through the school halls with the sunglasses in her hand.
She was walking by a door to a classroom and saw it open. The person on the other side was Dr. Oobleck. The two looked at each other and blinked.
"That's it, I'm switching to de-cafe." The teacher poured out his cup before closing the door.
Ruby tilted her head before continuing down the hall. She put the sunglasses over her eyes and tried to avoid anything before bumping into someone's leg.
"Oof."
She fell on her butt as the person's leg belonged to Velvet who looked down at the toddler.
"Well hello there." Velvet crouched down as the baby looked at her behind the sunglasses, even though she could barely see the persona's face. "Now where did you come from?"
Ruby reached up and took the sunglasses off and looked at Velvet's face before noticing the ears on top of her head.
"Bunbun!"
"Yes, I am a big bunny." smiled Velvet picking Ruby up and noticing the sunglasses in her little hands. "Those look like Coco's."
"Bunbun!" Ruby tried reaching for the long ears.
"No, you can't play with my ears." Velvet held her away from her ears and saw the toddler start pouting with her eyes glistening. "Oh come on, please don't cry."
"Waaaahhhh!" Ruby cried.
"Oh no!" Velvet cradled her while lightly bouncing her. "Calm down, it's alright. No need to cry."
Ruby rubbed her eyes as she cried.
"Velvet? What's going on?" her teammate Yatsuhashi asked as he and Fox walked towards her.
"I found a baby all by herself." she replied trying to rock Ruby who kept crying.
"What's a baby doing here?"
"I don't know, and I can't get her to stop crying."
Fox tapped her shoulder and held out his hands
Velvet handed Ruby to his arms as he held her up to his face. He held her up and tossed her high into the air.
"FOX!" his team mates exclaimed.
As she came down he caught her in his arms and repeated the action.
Ruby looked at Fox confused before slowly smiling the more he tossed her up into the air.
Velvet and Yatsuhashi watched as Ruby wasn't scared and seemed to have calmed down.
"Weeeeeee!"
"Wow Fox, I didn't know you were so good with kids." commented the Faunus.
He caught the baby and nodded to Velvet as he took the glasses from her.
The infant only kept on laughing as she clapped her hands.
"Ruby!" came Yang's voice as she and the others rounded the corner when they heard the laughter. "Oh thank god you found her."
"Wait, Ruby?" Velvet, Fox, and Yatsuhashi looked at the giggling baby and saw the resembled was uncanny.
"Long story short, we found Dust that makes people young again." said Weiss.
Coco ran past the teams and walked over before taking her glasses back and slipped them back on.
"Thank you Fox, at least they're not broken." Coco turned to the toddler Ruby. "And you? No taking my sunglasses."
The infant laughed thrashing around for a moment while babbling then put her hand in her mouth.
The teams couldn't help but smile.
"So cute!" Nora grabbad her. "It's official Ren, let's adopt her!" gushed the girl.
"Over mine and my family's dead bodies you will!" Yang slapped her
"Ow!" Nora glared at Yang and handed Ruby to Ren before butting in Yang's face. "Why you!"
Ruby bounced and laughed at their fighting. But she was bouncing too hard and ended up hitting the bottom of Ren's chin on accident.
"WAAAAAAAA!" her crying stopped the fighting.
"Oh no!" Nora rushed over and held Ruby. "It's ok, mama's here."
"Your not her mother, Summer rose is!"
"I meant for the time being!"
As Ruby kept crying, she idly noticed a hatch in the wall and as Nora set her down to yell at Yang, she crawled towards it.
This time Jaune and Blake pushed the girls back before they could start another fight.
"Would you two stop!" Jaune said.
"Yeah, what kind of examples do you think your setting for ruby?" Blake pointed.
"Uh, where is Ruby?" Pyrrha asked in nervousness looking at the floor and seeing the infant gone.
The sound of baby babble drew them to the hatch where they saw Ruby's little legs kick wildly as she struggled to pull herself in.
"RUBY!" Yang tried reaching out just as they saw the toddler go down the hatch.
They screamed in panic and started running down the hall as the chute was for dirty laundry.
"Should we help them?" Velvet asked Coco.
"Yeah probably, come on!"
Coco and her team ran after teams RWBY and JNPR while little Ruby giggled in joy as she slid down the chute.
"WEEEEEHEHEHEHEHEHEH!"
She soon reached the end and landed on some soft sheets in a large bin that was just being loaded in the back of a truck.
"Let's hurry this up. This places give me the creeps." a worker said.
"Alright alright." spoke another as they pushed the bin ."Don't tell me you believe that old myth about the school releasing Beowolf's on the students for training."
"No, but I swear I heard something."
"You're just jumpy from all that coffee, I keep trying to tell you seven cups is too much."
After getting it in the truck, they got into the front as the truck started up before driving away from the school. The three teams came running in soon after. With Weiss in front and Nora and Yang covering their eyes.
"I can't look," Yang spoke. "Tell the truth, is she splattered all over the place."
"Actually, there's not a single drop of blood." spoke Weiss as there was no body, skin, or anything to show Ruby landed here.
"Don't lie, we're not going to open our eyes and see an adorably gory mess." Nora warned.
Ren tapped her shoulder and snapped his fingers.
Both girls looked through their fingers and sighed.
"Wait, if Ruby didn't land here, then where is she?" Velvet asked.
"Uh, don't they usually send all the dirty stuff to get washed at this time?" Asked Coco looking at the clock.
"Maybe she landed in the laundry and was taken to the city." spoke Jaune.
"To the landing area!" Nora dashed off.
"Follow her!" Yang called out before running after Nora.
"Alright Mac, back it up."
The other worker carefully backed up the truck into the air ship. It didn't take long and the driver gave a thumbs up. The engine of the ship fired up and went into the air.
Yang and the others saw it lift off with said girl stamping her foot onto the ground. "You gotta be kidding me!"
"We can still get to town and find her if we're fast enough." spoke Blake.
Inside the airship, Ruby looked around at her surroundings. The spot she was sitting on was nice and soft, but she wanted to look all around. She crawled to the edge and tried climbing out. It was tricky, but she managed to gently lower herself down and looked around.
"Ooh." she waddled away from the bin as the airship landed near the town. The ship's hatch opened and she smiled before stepping down it and off the airship.
She looked around and took in the sight of the big city. She let out a giggle and crawled towards it with curiosity brimming.
She crawled along the the sidewalk looking high and low. Course some did stare in confusion when she crawled past them. Others thought they were going insane.
As she looked around, she bumped into a leg that felt more solid than a human leg should be. After shaking her head she looked up. A grey haired teen was looking at her in confusion. "What the-"
Ruby sat on her butt and tilted her head at the teen who scratched his head. "That's… weird." he looked around. "Yo Emerald! Take a look at this!"
"What now Mercury?"
"Some baby just crawled up to me and I think she's alone." he replied pointing down at the toddler.
"What?!" a green haired girl walked up. She crouched down as Ruby turned her head and looked her in the eyes.
"See, what I tell you?"
"Who leaves their kid in the middle of the town with no supervision?" Emerald picked Ruby up.
"What do we do with her?"
"Well if we try to give her to the police, they might take our photos to tell the parents who found her, and we need to stay low while we're here."
"Let's take her back to the hideout and call Cinder."
"You're kidding right? Do you want her to fry our asses if we bring a kid?" asked Emerald.
"We just tell her the truth." Mercury shrugged, "besides, you got a better plan?"
Emerald sighed as it looked like that was the best chance to keep their faces from getting seen by the entire police force.
"Plus we can't ditch her on the front steps cause someone would see our faces, tell the cops, and we get a manhunt out for us when we go around." Mercury mentioned.
"Alright, let's head back." spoke Emerald holding Ruby in her arms before they started walking back to the hideout.
They walked past a few people giving them shameful looks and saying things like, 'next time keep it in your pants'.
'Just great.' thought both Mercury and Emerald while Ruby giggled in Emerald's arms.
They got back and everyone was staring at them.
"Keep moving!" Emerald shouted before walking past them.
They went to the back where a one armed man was tapping his cane against the table. He turned his head hearing their footsteps.
"Where have you two been?" he shut up at seeing something in Emerald's arms. "What is that?"
"A baby, you know, what everybody becomes before they grow up?" retorted Mercury with a grin.
"Always knew you two had a thing, but to go that far? Mazel Tov!"
"Shut up Roman! We just brought her here after finding her in the streets." spoke Emerald.
"Let me have a look at the new bundle of joy." he smirked.
Emerald held Ruby under her arms and made her face Roman.
"Holy shit!" he fell back. "It's her!"
"What?"
"She looks just like that psychotic brat who cut my arm off!"
Mercury and Emerald looked at Ruby who giggled in Emerald's hands.
"Silver eyes, dark hair, even the red cloths, they're definitely related."
"So what, is this like her baby sister or something?" asked Mercury.
"If it is she's probably looking for her and I'd rather not lose my other arm, so get her out of here!"
"We'll do it when it gets dark out. If we try to ditch her at the police, they might keep an eye out for us for either being terrible parents, or to try and find us so the real parents can thank us." replied Emerald. "Right now, here." She shoved the toddler in his remaining arm
"What? You're not serious."
"I am calling Cinder to give her a report." Emerald replied. "Now take the kid."
"Give her to Mercury."
"Not happening." Mercury walked away.
Torchwick growled and saw Emerald holding Ruby out with an irritated expression.
"Just take her, she's just a baby, what harm can she do, gum you to death?"
Torchwick sighed and reluctantly took Ruby with one arm as Emerald turned and walked away.
"I don't like you." he said to the toddler.
Ruby titled her head in confusion.
Later Roman was looking over his plans. Ruby was sitting in the chair so he wouldn't be bothered.
Roman groaned and put down his cane. He looked at Ruby who was waving her arms while giggling.
Every time he looked into those eyes he saw the girl that cut off his arm.
"You just stay there and don't move, ya little brat."
As he looked away, Ruby took an interest in the cane. She carefully moved off the chair and gently lowered herself down before walking towards it.
She picked it up and giggled as she ran off.
Torchwick turned his head and spotted her running away with his cane.
"Hey! Get back here with that!" he turned and ran after the toddler.
Ruby laughed as she ran around swinging the cane. This got the attention of the Blood Fang members who were checking the supplies.
"Give me back my cane!"
The members snickered at seeing Roman chase a toddler for a cane.
He yanked the cane, pulling Ruby back and making her fall. "Got ya you little brat."
Ruby blinked before her eyes got wide and she started crying. "Waaaaaaaaaaaa!"
"Torchwick," Emerald ran over to pick up Ruby. "What is wrong with you?"
"Hey! I warned you it was a bad idea."
"She's just a baby! She doesn't know any better!"
"Well maybe if you had just kept an eye on her, she wouldn't be crying."
Emerald growled and walked away. "Figures it takes a girl to take care of a baby."
Out in the city the three teams looked around for Ruby. Each one asking around to see if they saw something.
"Are you sure you haven't seen her?" Blake asked a passerby who shook their head.
"About this big, wearing all red?" Weiss spoke to a couple.
"Sorry we haven't seen her."
Each one having no luck so far.
Yang decided to look near the warehouse district. "RUBY!"
With said girl, Emerald was sitting on a barrel feeding Ruby with some formula one of the Blood Fang members went out and got. "RUBY!"
Ruby heard and stopped drinking while turning her head around the area.
Emerald raised an eyebrow in concern as Ruby squirmed in her hold.
"RUBY! WHERE ARE YOU!"
"Ya ya!" Ruby got out with a smile.
Emerald got off the barrel and looked around the corner to see a busty blonde.
"RUBY!"
Emerald saw the toddler in her arms get excited and figured this must be the girl she was looking for.
'If I just set her down, she'll go straight to her.' Emerald lowered Ruby to the ground and watched the toddler quickly crawl towards the busty blonde.
"YA YA!"
Yang reeled around and saw her sister crawling towards her.
"RUBY!" she ran over and happily picked up the toddler before hugging her close. "Oh thank god."
"Ya ya." smiled Ruby.
"I think you had enough fun today." Yang pulled out her Scroll and turned around. "Guys, I've got Ruby."
Ruby saw Emerald watch as they left and waved to the green haired girl. "Bu bye."
Emerald smiled and waved back ss Yang carried Ruby away, Mercury walked up behind Emerald and watched them go.
"Please tell me you don't want one of your own now."
Emerald growled and started punching him.
His cries of pain weren't heard as Yang met up with the others and they all headed back to an airship for Beacon.
"So now what do we do?" Yang questioned. "We can't just leave her like this."
"If we do, me and Ren's children can be playmates for her." Nora spoke up.
Yang glared at her as Weiss' Scroll started going off.
She pulled it out and answered the call. "Hello!
"Miss Schnee, we have analyzed the Dust sample you sent and have good news."
"Great, we could use some."
"We believe since Miss Rose only held a small amount, the effects should be temporary and will wear off on their own quite shortly."
"Around how much longer?"
"We estimate it around…..5 minutes. So you you may want to get her into some larger clothes."
The call ended just as the airship docked at the school and they rushed out and to the dorms.
"Nora, grab her clothes." Yang said
"On it."
"Weiss, time."
"Uh… 2 minutes."
"Hurry!"
The toddler tilted her head in confusion as the larger clothes were put over her.
"Weiss, time!"
"5 seconds."
Yang put the hood over the clothes just as Ruby's form started glowing.
She grew until she fit into her clothes. She looked around as all three teams waited to see if she was alright.
"Did the Dust do anything?" Ruby asked
"You don't remember?" asked Yang.
"Remember what? And why am I so tired?" Ruby yawned. "Ugh, Ruby wanna go nigh nigh."
"Alright guys, it's time to give the girl some privacy." spoke Weiss as the other two teams made their way out of the room.
Ruby fell face first to the floor and started snoring.
Yang smiled and picked Ruby up before walking over to their bed and setting her down. "Get some sleep Ruby, you earned it."
"I'm making sure that Dust is destroyed." Weiss whispered pulling out her Scroll.
"Why? You family would make a killing in makeup." spoke Coco. "Imagine all the people who'd pay to be young again."
"Do you want Vale to be overrun with toddlers like Ruby? Walking around and making their guardians go nuts?" Weiss spoke. "Although I guess with further research and development it may have some cosmetic use."
"I just pray they don't tug on my ears." Velvet muttered while subtly rubbing her ears.
Nora's eyes were watery. "Aw, I wanted to spoil her some more."
Ren rolled his eyes and pull Nora out.
Ruby snored in the bed while sucking on her thumb with a smile. "Bu By."
