The Impossible Girl - Chapter 20

Ruby awoke to a sound similar to the moan of a zombie. The caped-girl sat up and looked to her partner lying beside her, who somehow had an even paler face than usual.

"Ugh..." Weiss groaned into her pillow. Her head felt like it had been lit on fire. "What the hell happened to me?"

"I may have given you a little too much of your medicine." Ruby admitted.

Weiss tried to climb out of the bed, but immediately fell onto the floor, letting out a weak cough as she did so. "I feel like my arms were run over by a bus."

"Well you did wrestle a bit with Yang last night." The caped-girl informed her. Ruby got out of bed and helped her partner up, letting the Heiress put an arm around her for support.

"You've really been beaten up recently. Do you think you should go to the Medical Ward again?" Ruby asked.

"I can handle it." Weiss said, standing up a little straighter. "What doesn't kill me makes me-"

Her statement was interrupted as she coughed deeply into her inner elbow. She felt light headed as she looked at the blood she left on her sleeve.

The Heiress' ghastly coughing awakened Yang and Blake.

"Are you going to die?" Ruby asked, her voice cracking with concern.

"N-n-no. I don't need to go to the doctor." Weiss commanded, sounding infinitely less threatening in her current state.

"Why won't you go to the doctor?" Yang asked as she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.

"Nothing. I just don't want to waste time." Weiss said quickly, almost falling over from exhaustion.

"Weiss, that doesn't make any sense." Blake responded. "You look like you're about to die."

"Well if I pass out feel free to carry me there, but until then...I, uh...what was I talking about?" The Heiress said.

"Come on, Weiss! You already had to go earlier this year!" Ruby exclaimed, trying to convince her ghastly partner.

"Wait a minute..." Blake said as she came to a realization. "Weiss, you practically had your skull caved in, but you left the Med Ward the next day. In fact, as soon as you got the chance you left the place. You weren't even fully recovered at the time."

"What's your...point?" Weiss asked, pausing mid sentence with a dazed expression. Ruby concluded Blake's idea.

"Weiss Schnee. You're afraid of the doctor, aren't you?"

"No."

"Holy shit, you are!" Ruby said with a disbelieving laugh. "You'd rather cough up blood than go to the doctor."

Weiss let out a frustrated sigh. "I just...I really don't like hospitals. It makes me all uncomfortable. I get all itchy inside. I could count how many times I've been inside a hospital on one hand."

There was a beat of silence.

"That is so weird!" Yang laughed. "I mean…that's such an irrational fear to have!"

"Shut up, Jester." Weiss retorted, effectively shutting up the cackling blonde.

"You remember last night?" Ruby asked her partner.

"Not really, I only remember a few moments, and even those are pretty fuzzy." the Heiress answered. "Did I play a piano this time?"

"No. You can play the piano?" Blake asked.

"No. Queen Weiss can, though." the Heiress answered. Ruby gave her partner a confused look.

"Wait, what?" Ruby said. "Queen Weiss has come out before?"

"Yeah, I figured it out after I accidentally drank cough medicine as a kid. If I get high or drunk enough, the 'Mad Queen' comes out to play for a night."

"How often are you drunk or high, anyway?" Yang asked condescendingly.

"Not often, don't worry. That was only the 4th time. I can tell you about the other ones later, if you want."

"Wait, so she can play the piano, but you can't?" the caped-girl asked.

"Yeah, and pretty well. Though it is pretty weird, I don't even know what the black keys do."

"Weiss..." Blake started. "That's so weird. You should seriously get help for that. And I know the perfect person."

"Who?"

"A doctor." Blake informed sternly.

"I will not go to the doctor." Weiss commanded. "Maybe it is a bit of a phobia, but it's not that weird. Everyone has something peculiar about them."

"What about us?" Yang asked.

Weiss recited a mental list. "Ruby has a fear of the dentist. Blake is becoming more of a cat than a girl. Yang can't taste salt and eats enough sugar each day to kill a bull."

"I see your point." Yang responded.

"Weiss, you have to stand up and take care of yourself. You know better." Ruby told her partner.

"You're afraid of the dentist! I could make the same argument against you!" The Heiress growled.

"Yes, but I brush my teeth four times a day." Ruby informed. "So unless you can perform self-surgery, you're going to have to visit the doctor."

The Snow Queen let out a small laugh at her leader's command.

"Ruby, I've gone all this time without stepping into a doctor's office on my own will. What makes you think anything you could do would make me go?"

"Weiss I'm not going to kiss you if you're sick."

The Heiress blinked twice at this information. She let out an exasperated sigh. "Your an asshole." Weiss mumbled as she stumbled to the door.

"But I'm your asshole!" Ruby shouted after the exiting form of her ghastly partner.

The Heiress' walk to the Med Ward was a haze, but she soon found herself at the front door. She stormed through the door and, after a nurse caught a glimpse of her, was immediately shuttled over to a doctor.

The doctor took one look at Weiss and drew his conclusion.

"Overdose of Tetrodotoxine B?" The doctor inferred.

"Yep." The Heiress said quickly, hoping to keep things brief.

"Alright, sit on the chair over there. Well be with you shortly."

"Will this take long?" Weiss asked nervously.

"No, only about an hour."

The Heiress gave a loud gulp at the news.

Weiss came back from the doctor's feeling better than ever, at least physically. She still cringed remembering the masked figures looming over her with various needles and tools. She walked into the dorm to find the rest of her team still there.

"Weiss you're looking well. That was only an hour, it didn't take long at all!" Ruby exclaimed.

"Yeah, yeah. It was still too long."

"So will Queen Weiss ever make a reappearance?"

Weiss laughed a bit. "Probably. I've built up a lot of alter egos over the past few months, but she's the only one of them that can be fun to be sometimes."

"Well she's now my second favorite Weiss, after the original." The caped-girl said with a wink.

Ruby walked over and planted a kiss on her partner's cheek. Weiss blushed and fought to keep a frown on her face, rolling her eyes as added effect.

Ruby wasn't fooled by her attempt, and let a small laugh as she quickly kissed her partner on the cheek a second time. The caped-girl realized what time it was, and began to take off.

"Oh crap, I have to turn in my report to Ookbleck!" Ruby said as she grabbed a handful of papers out of her backpack. "I'll be back in a couple of minutes!" She darted out of the room at full speed.

"Yep. Still worth it." She whispered to herself as the tingling in her spine calmed down.

Yang smiled as she overheard her teammates honest words.
