Field Trip
When Laura woke up the next morning she felt a little dizzy, After clearing her head a little she noticed that she was not in her bed, she was in one of the top bunks and lying next to her... was Yang. Laura smiled a little remembering the fun they had yesterday... though she did not remember ever going to Yang's bed.
Yang woke up as well and said "Morning Sharp fist".
"Yang... what happened last night?" Laura asked.
Yang smirked in amusement "You don't remember? We spent some time on the roof to watch the stars and you ended up falling asleep in my lap. You looked so cuuuute when you were snuggling against my belly".
Laura blushed a deep shade of red before looking away "S-Shut up" Yang only laughed "Were is Ruby?".
"Ozpin called her to his office earlier" Blake said while she was getting dressed.
"For what?" Laura asked.
"I don't know" Blake answered.
Laura jumped down from Yang's bed, almost falling down as her feet ached. Little too much dancing it would seem. She was about to pul of her shirt until she noticed Yang looking at her, she motioned with her finger to tell Yang to turn around. Yang pouted but did what she was told.
When they were all dressed, Ruby finally returned.
They zoom over to her with Yang asking "What happened?".
"Uh... well, um..." Ruby laughed nervously, before she began explaining everything that happened.
She told them that she saw an intruder last night and went after her. They fought for a bit until general Ironwood showed up and the intruder just disappeared after that. She also made sure to ensue Laura that it was not Neo, which relieved her to some point.
"That was a risky move" Weiss scolded.
"No, I think you handled it well" Blake said.
"I hope so" Ruby said with Yang's hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sure everything will be alright, Ruby" Yang assured "Oh, I know what will cheer you up!" she walks over to the desk and picks up a cylindrical package.
"What's that?" Ruby asked.
"I don't know yet. Dad sent it to us. I thought we could open it together!" Yang said holding up the package.
"Ooooh! Something from home!" Ruby squealed.
She zooms over to Yang and wraps herself around her, trying to take the cylinder from her. The package opens, and another cylinder, hairy and black, falls out onto the floor and starts to shake. The object suddenly transforms into a corgi. Team RWBLY leans in, staring at it.
The dog barks twice. While Laura, Weiss and Blake continue to react with great shock, Ruby and Yang react excitedly, with Ruby jumping in the air.
"Zwei!" Ruby cheered.
"He sent a dog?" Blake asked.
"In the mail?" Weiss added.
"Oh, he does stuff like this all the time!" Yang said like it was not a big deal.
" Your father or your dog?" Blake asked who was now on Ruby's bed. When did she even get up there?
Weiss leans closer to Zwei "Are you telling me that this mangy...drooling... mutt is going to wiv wif us foweva? Oh, yes he is, yes he is! Oh, isn't he adorable!".
Laura cant help but to reach forward and scratched the dog's ear earning a lick to her hand.
"Please keep him away from my belongings" Blake said.
"Would all first-year students please report to the amphitheater?" Glynda said over the intercom.
"Well, we can't exactly leave him here while we're gone for the week" Weiss said referring to Zwei.
Ruby sets Zwei down and he walks over to Blake who is still on the top bunk, and barks, causing her to crawl away redy to claw him.
"Look, there's a letter!" Yang said as she took out a letter "Dear girls, I've got to leave the island for a few days, so I'm sending Zwei to you to take care of. Enclosed is all the food you should need. Love you both, Taiyang."
Dozens of cans of dog food spill out of the small package, piling up around Zwei.
"How did all of that even fit inside this thing?" Laura said as she snatched the the package from Yang and looked inside it only for a can opener to fall i her face "Ow".
"Well, that settles it! Come on girls, Zwei will be here when we get back!" Yang declared as she began to head out.
"Oh, I'll miss you so much, we're going to be best friends, I can't wait to see you, I can't believe how cute your are" Weiss baybe talked Zwei while, Blake jumps down from Ruby's bunk and jumps across the table to avoid Zwei.
Laura rolls her eyes before heading out as well.
They gathered in the amphitheater and saw Glynda standing on a stage.
"Quiet! Quiet please. Professor Ozpin would like to share a few words before we begin" Glynda said before Ozpin walked up and began his speech.
"Today we stand together, united. Mistral. Atlas. Vacuo. Vale. The four Kingdoms of Remnant. On this day, nearly eighty years ago, the largest war in recorded history came to an end. It was a war of ignorance, of greed, and of oppression. A war that was about much more than where borders fell or who traded with whom, but about the very idea of individualism itself. We fought for countless reasons, one of which being the destruction of all forms of art and self-expression. And as you are well aware, that was something many could not stand for. As a result, those who opposed this tyranny began naming their children after one of the core aspects of art itself: color. It was their way to demonstrate that not only would they refuse to tolerate this oppression, but neither were the generations to come. And it was a trend that is held to this very day. We encourage individuality, expressionism, and unity through diversity. As I have said, today we stand together, united. But this bond cannot exist without effort. Which is why today, while the rest of the world celebrates peace, Huntsmen and Huntresses will work to uphold it. As first year students, you will be tasked with shadowing a professional Huntsman or Huntress on a mission. Some of you may be taken out of the Kingdom for several days. Others may work within the walls for the rest of the week. But no matter which path you choose, remember to be safe, remember your training, and remember to do your very best" When he was finished everyone got ready to choose a mission.
"This is perfect! All we have to do is shadow a Huntsman working in the southeast!" Ruby said
"Yeah! We'll follow them around by day and give them the slip by night!" Yang said with confidence.
'I highly doubt that it will be that easy' Laura thought.
"Let's check 'search and destroy'!" Weiss suggested.
They go to a hologram screen.
"Here we go! Quadrant 5 needs Grimm cleared out!" Ruby read.
"Well, it's in the southeast!" Blake said
"Sounds perfect!" Yang said.
Ruby selects it and types in her team name. However, the screen says that first years are not allowed to take this mission.
"Wonderful!" Weiss said sarcastically
"Any other ideas?" Blake asked
"We mail ourselves there!" Ruby suggested only for Laura to give her a 'are you serious?' look.
"Well, that's one option" Ozpin suddenly appears.
"Unfortunately, we determined that the concentration of Grimm was too extreme for first-year students. It seems that particular region is rather popular. In fact, I have the sneaking suspicion that you four will make your way there no matter which job you choose" Ozpin said.
Weiss, Blake, and Yang glare at Ruby, who nervously rubs her head while Laura shakes her own.
"Whatever makes you say that?" Ruby said playing ignorant.
Ozpin was in a thinking position "I'm still curious how you all found yourself at the docks last semester. I'm interested to know how you really learned about a hideout in the southeast. And I certainly wonder why witnesses reported seeing robots and rose petals in a dance club some time ago".
"Um... well..." Ruby said nervously.
"I doubt I'll ever find the exact answers I'm looking for. So how about this: instead of waiting for you all to break the rules, why don't we just bend them?" Ozpin suggested.
He selects some things on his scroll, and the hologram screen makes a noise. Signaling that their team can go on the mission.
"We won't let you down. Thank you, professor" Ruby said.
"Do not thank me for this" Ozpin began "Teamwork and persistence have carried you far. But you must understand, the things that await you beyond the protection of the Kingdom will not care. Stay close to your Huntsman at all times, and do exactly as he says. He will be leading you on this mission, and he can have you sent back to Beacon, if he finds your skills to be unsatisfactory" He walked away, but poked his head out one last time "Good luck".
Team RWBY have left the auditorium and are on their way to the airship that will take them to Quadrant 5.
"That wasn't exactly uplifting" Yang said.
"But it's the truth" Blake pointed out.
"It's gonna to be tough, but I know we can do it!" Ruby assured.
"Hey! Team CFVY is back!" A random student anuched
Students gather around to witness the return of Team CFVY. Blake goes up to Velvet.
"Velvet? Are you okay?" She asked.
"I'm fine. I had Yatsuhashi to look out for me" Velvet answered.
Laura flashed him a smile which he returned.
"Your mission was supposed to end a week ago! What happened?" Weiss asked.
"Nothing happened. It was just ... there were just so many... " Velvet said before she looks up and noticed the worried expressions "Oh, but don't worry. You first-years are just shadowing Huntsmen, so you should be fine".
"Right" Yang said making sure she don't slip up.
Then Velvet finally notices Laura and instantly became shy "Hi there Laura, how are you feeling?".
"A lot better than I was. It would seem that the dance was just what I needed" Laura answered causing Yang to lean over and give her a peek on the cheek "Yang!" Laura hissed with a glare.
"What? Just explaining the news in a faster way" Yang said with an innocent smile.
"What news?" Velvet asked seeming a little worried.
"Me and Laura are a couple now" Yang announced happily.
"Yang, what part of 'wait until I'm ready' was to hard to understand?" Laura asked before giving Yang a bump on the head.
"Oww" Yang whined.
"Oh, well congratulation you two. I should go. Be safe, okay?" Velvet said before walking back to her team.
'That's strange. She looked sad' Laura thought as she watched Velvet walk away, unknown of the tears that was threatening to spill out of the rabbit faunus eyes.
"We can do this. We've never backed down before, and we're not going to start now" Ruby declared.
"Right" Blake agreed.
"Besides, it won't only be us out there! We'll be fighting alongside a genuine Huntsman!" Ruby added.
"Yeah!" Yang said until she noticed something was of with Laura "Can you girls give us a minute?" The girls walked away a bit "Laura whats wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing. It's just that we might run in to the bad guys on this mission" Laura said.
"You are worried that we might run in to 'her' right?" Yang asked the silence from Laura was enough to answer her question "Laura, I promise you: If she dose show up, we'll deal with her together. Ok? And like Ruby said: We'll be fighting alongside a genuine Huntsman!".
Laura looked at her for a moment and then nodded her head "Right! Let's do this".
On the ship plat from Team RWBLY are staring with various stunned expressions, having just discovered who they will be shadowing.
"Why, hello girls! Who's ready to fight for their lives?" Oobleck said with excitement.
'I'm gonna die' Laura thought.
In a unknown location a portal opens up and a man wearing a yellow and blue suit steps out of it.
"Alright Laura, hang in there, for I'm coming to bring you home" He said before some grimm shows up and surrounds him "Not even five minutes here and already something is trying to kill me. Very well then. Let's see what you got bub"
Then three claws comes out of his fists as he let's out a battle cry and charges his new foes.
