In which Penny picks up on social cues... in all the wrong ways. But at least, here, in fanfic, we can imagine a scenario where Penny and Pyrrha live and everything goes back to normal at Beacon, and Penny gets her plan all set.
Yeah, I'm still in denial.
As always, thanks, Monty. And thanks to Claraowl for the fic spazzes!
Ruby Rose was no mechanic.
Sure, she made Crescent Rose, sure, she made routine repairs to the team's weapons and Yang's arm for time, and sure, she had managed to implement a shotgun into Jaune's sword.
But Penny?
Repairing the broken android was a completely different matter. Ruby had managed, however, and after about a month of plenty of coffee and cookies, Penny had come back to life and thrown herself happily into an overjoyed Ruby's arms.
The road to full recovery, however, was quite bumpy to say the least. There were times where Penny had activated in the morning spouting fluent Spanish, there was the one time where her arm detached in the middle of class (to Weiss's horror), and there was the small detail of Ruby not being able to find an alternate power source, so, team RWBY simply settled for plugging Penny into the wall every night with an extension cord.
Otherwise, Penny's integration into Beacon had gone swimmingly; she had received top marks in every class, made fast friends with JNPR, and although social interaction wasn't her strong suite, she had improved.
It was hard to pick up on acceptable social cues with Yang Xiao Long as a team member, however.
The huntress' devil-may-care demeanor often earned her pillows to the face, courtesy of Weiss alternated with scowling looks as she covered Penny's ears whilst distracting Ruby with some cookies.
Alas, Weiss wasn't always the fastest with her attempts at censorship.
And now, Yang was watching and teasing Ruby as she went through the morning ritual of unplugging Penny and initiating her startup cycle.
The robotic girl clicked and whirred as she came to life, wrapping her arms around her friend in a tight embrace.
"Salutations, friend Ruby, and an excellent morning to you!" Penny chirped. "And may I say, getting to see you every morning really turns me on!"
Yang toppled to the floor, wheezing with laughter as Weiss and Blake shot her horrified looks.
Yang has no mouth filter, confirmed. Blake, get your girlfriend under control. Please?
