Im gonna start cutting down the length of the chapters for the sake of getting more chapters out. That's all, let's jump into the chapter.
Ruby POV
I was helped off the bullhead by Coco and Sun. "There you go, nice and easy."
"Thanks guys." I said, embarrassed.
"No problem, Ruby. You'd do the same for us." Sun said.
"RUBY ROSE!" I heard the voice of my partner approaching.
"Crap, back to the ship. Hide me!" I said, frantically. They wouldn't budge.
"Sorry, Red. You gotta deal with her." Coco said.
"She's gonna be mad!"
"Going to? I think it's a little late for that." Weiss said as she came near. They handed me off to her so that she could help me.
"See ya around, little Red." Coco said as they all zipped off in different directions.
"Ruby, what happened to your leg?" Weiss asked, concerned.
"Well, while I was fighting a deathstalker like 4 times the size of the one at initiation, I kinda got crescent rose hooked around the stinger, and I was lifted into the air. Then I fell when I cut the stinger off."
"Oh my god, Ruby, that was so reckless! Why would you do that?" She yelled.
"It was the only way to kill it!" I whined.
"Let's get back to the room and put an ice pack on your leg." She said.
"So what did you do on your mission?"
"Oh, my god it felt like it went on forever. First of all, this Neptune guy kept flirting with me, even after I said I was gay and taken." I giggled at that. "Jaune was surprisingly the only one well behaved, and I swear he's getting a lot better with his sword! Finally there was Neon Katt, who wore a tank top and shorts in the mountains, and kept trying to get me to try roller skating."
"Hey, Weiss!" A girl shouted our way.
"Speak of the devil..." she muttered to me. A rainbow streak approached us.
"What's up Weiss? Who's this? Is this your girlfriend you kept mentioning?"
"Yes, yes it is, Neon." She sighed. "Her name is Ruby-"
"Cool, you wanna try rollerskating like you promised?" She continued talking at lightning speed.
"Oh, you promised, hmm?" I asked Weiss with a smirk. She put her head in her hand.
"You weren't supposed to find out."
"Oh, I gotta see this!" I said, excitedly.
"Yeah, it's gonna be great!" Neon said.
"No, no, you can't go roller skating, ruby! You have a bad leg!"
"I'm not roller skating! You are, and I have to see it!"
Blake POV
We got off the elevator and walked into Ozpin's office. "Ah, team, you've arrived."
"Hey, professor! We brought you the fall maiden!" Yang said. Ozpin smiled.
"So you were told. That makes things much easier. I have to keep this brief, because I'm quite busy right now. Miss Watson, you will be staying with Team LAVA. Your training will begin on Monday, so 5 days. That should give you enough time to get settled." Yang visibly saddened at that news. As Ozpin was about to speak again, when the elevator opened and a man dressed in white walked in. "Hello, James. Girls, you are dismissed."
As we walked back out of the elevator, Yang spoke up.
"I'm bummed now!"
"Why?" May asked.
"She's just sad 'cuz her little girlfriend doesn't get to stay in her dorm." Lav said. Both Amber and Yang lit up light Christmas trees.
"Well, I gotta get back to my team." May said.
"No! We gotta go have a post mission drink!" Lav argued.
"No, I don't drink much." May replied.
"Boring!" Amber said.
"Sorry, guys. See you around!" May said as she ran off.
"Don't worry, Lav. We can still have drinks." Yang said, putting her arm around Lav's shoulders.
"It won't be the same...but sure, why not?"
"I'm just gonna go back to the dorm." I said, beginning to walk away. Suddenly I was grabbed by the arm by Yang.
"No way, Blakey, you're coming with us." I knew there was no escape, so I resigned to my fate, and we headed to Vale.
Ironwood POV
"Well, James. It's not common that the headmaster follows his school to the Vytal Festival."
"My protege insisted that she watch the festival in person, and I decided it was a good enough time to take my first week off."
"Well, good for you, James. Everyone needs time off, but I'd think you'd be a little concerned about your military."
"Ha ha, don't worry Oz, I've left it with people I trust. So...have you found any info on the...thing that you've been looking into?"
"Yes, but not much. As far as we know, she isn't going to make her move anytime soon."
"Well, let me know if you find out anything."
"I have as many people working on it as possible."
"Good to know."
Ruby POV
Weiss stumbled and fell once again onto the floor. "Ugh! This is stupid!" She yelled, punching the floor.
"I really thought you'd be good at this, ice queen!" Neon said.
"Well, you were wrong!" Weiss said, attempting once more to stand.
"Don't worry, Weiss! I believe in you!" I yelled.
"Don't patronize me!" She managed to stand up and use the rails to start moving a bit.
"There ya go!" Neon said. Weiss continued skating, with the help of the rail.
"I knew you could, Weiss!" I said.
"Alright, now time to teach you how to go without the rails!" Neon said. That very moment Weiss fell over. She groaned and began to stand up again.
"I promise, Weiss, you did fine." I said as she helped me off the bullhead from Vale.
"I sucked." I grabbed her head and kissed the top of it.
"You did great, babe." I don't think her face could've gotten a darker shade of red.
"Y-you idiot..." she muttered. I grinned. She then looked up into the air at a ship flying by. "Oh my god. It's her!"
"What? Who?"
"Winter!"
