Saturday, October 8
It's raining. Hard!
Seriously, it's like huge buckets of water are just being dumped wherever!
Dad took one glance out the window and groaned. He had work and HATES to be outside in this kind of weather! I felt so bad for him ('cuz I feel the same way). Neither does Yang, her hair gets all frizzy. And for whatever reason, Uncle Qrow decided to pay a visit (it's his day off, and let's face who exactly wants to be alone on a Saturday) today. I'm pretty sure Yang thought she was under house arrest.
Anyway, Dad left really early this morning (probably because of traffic and I was up because I have something I like to call "Early Bird Syndrome" — meaning I'll wake up around five or six a.m. almost everyday without fail) and then Uncle Qrow came about an hour later. Upon learning I didn't eat breakfast, — via my stomach — he made French toast. Problem? He's terrible at making them. All he does is gets the bread and whips some eggs, dumps the bread into it, and cooks them. Finishing it off is maple syrup he heated up in the microwave and almost drowns the French toast. And I eat it. Why? Because I don't wanna hurt his feelings.
Yang'll eat them too, but almost visibly cringes before doing so.
Knowing the storm wasn't gonna let up, I just slipped on sweatpants (hey, they're comfortable!) and a red t-shirt. Then I plopped myself onto the couch with Uncle Qrow and worked on my costume as he surfed through Netflix. Settling on watching Paranormal Activity, he asked me how was school and if I was doing okay and all. I told him I was doing fine and started telling him about my new friends when I suddenly heard Yang scream, "No! Bad Zwei! Bad!"
Turning around, we saw Yang pretty much pig wrestling with a very muddy Zwei (I guess he got out earlier through the doggy door). Unlike everyone in this household, Zwei ADORES this kind of weather. He sees it as an excuse to get all muddy and get a nice hot bath after (which actually doesn't sound that bad right now). Problem is getting him into the actual tub. And Yang was losing for once. Uncle Qrow got up and tried to help but catching Zwei is like playing "Catch the Greased-up Pig". I would've helped…if I wasn't too busy recording the whole thing. Of course I made sure they didn't see me. Uncle Qrow and Yang, I mean. Thank Gawd too, probably would've murdered me. So the fight ended with Yang and Uncle Qrow finally getting Zwei into the bubble-filled tub. Thirty minutes later, he came out all clean and fluffy, and laid down on my lap. Then I heard Yang kick Uncle Qrow out of the bathroom, shouting, "Use Dad's shower!" and a door almost slam shut.
Then Uncle Qrow called out to me, "Ruby! Think your dad will be mad at me if I borrowed his shower? Or the washing machine? Or his clothes?"
"I won't tell if you won't!" I told him. He replied, "Thought so!"
Seeing an opportunity, I texted everyone the video. Jaune (and his sisters) thought it was hilarious. So did Nora — bombing me with a bunch of smiley emojis. Pyrrha and Ren thought it was funny, but asked if Yang and Uncle Qrow were alright (I replied back they were). Weiss didn't respond right away, I figured she had lessons. Blake didn't respond right away either, but twenty minutes later she replied saying, [Poor Yang… Adam thought this was hysterical. He's still laughing.]
Then she texted: [Wanna come 2 the movies with us again tomorrow? I heard they were going 2 show Chucky Child's Play. Yang can come if she can handle it. If not we could do something else.]
I texted back: [No, it's cool! Yang will watch that! Tomorrow right? What time?]
I wasn't lying. Yang isn't scared of Chucky, rather he annoys her. Why? I do not know. I do not know.
Blake responded right away. [Ok. Meet us there at 1. C u then.]
I told Yang, after she got out of the shower, about the plan tomorrow and she was up for it. I think she still doesn't trust Adam, even if Blake is there with us.
Anyway, Uncle Qrow lucked out because he was back in his original clothes before Dad got back. Speaking of which, he brought back Chick-fil-A! I love their chicken strips! Sure some people say it taste sweet, but once you get pass that it tastes amazing! I swear Dad has a sixth sense for when Uncle Qrow stays for dinner. Because after he gave Yang her chicken sandwich, he gave him a deluxe spicy chicken sandwich. Uncle Qrow teased him a little for being a saint, Dad brushed it off while laughing a little.
Today was a good day and I made awesome progress on my costume!
I really hope it doesn't rain so much tomorrow. I don't wanna get drenched.
Oh, Weiss responded!
…I think she really loves dogs…'cuz she asked if she could visit on Tuesday! Her dad has business meeting all day that day and she finally has a day off! Woo! I better make sure this house is spotless until then!
