Sorry for my bad English.
While the story is going better than the last version, I feel that I forgot about one of my characters. Since Unicorn is starring her own fanfiction, I felt that I left her without much scene compared to my other OCs. Even if she had a fiction for herself doesn't mean I should let her without some scenes in this fic. If this was the case so the same should have happened with Ryan when I started with The Dynamic Duo.
I will try focus in each OC more and try not forget no one from now on.
Corridors
As usual for the girls of the team STRK, Sally was making a conversation with Unicorn while the girl with purple eyes just listen what her partner has to say, and answering with small words.
Unicorn herself was curious about why Sally keeps trying making conversation with her knowing she would not respond more than a word or two. More than half of the people who tried to make a conversation with Unicorn or either gave up the talk or just let it be.
Sally did not seem to mind the one side conversations with her partner. She always had something to talk and Unicorn listened sometimes showing little interest. Such as now, the girls were in one of the corridors walking back to their dorm room after a school day.
-… but no matter how good I may be playing my saxophone, seemed that everyone just wanted to watch two people fighting. –Sally said.
-Hmm. –Unicorn answered.
-It is not like I not like to watch a fight myself, but we need to remember there are more ways of entertainment than just watch two people almost killing each other.
-Yes.
-The Musical Festival was always my favorite event in Mistral. And hurts me seeing there is just a little number of people showing interest in something that is not fighting.
-Hmm.
-Fighting isn't everything in this world. There are things we can't do with a weapon.
This is something Unicorn's father would disagree.
Being the younger daughter of the Trojan Weapon Industry, Unicorn was able to learn something or two about making weapons, such as her father's point of view about his work.
A wolf whistle took Unicorn out of her thoughts and her with Sally look to whoever whistle and Unicorn's face frowned at the vision of a boy with brown hair tied in a ponytail leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. In his hips, a katana.
-I was right. That chocolate smell really brought me to something delicious. –The boy said with an arrogant smirk on his face. –Unicorn, do not tell me you were keeping that beauty away from me?
-Uh, Unicorn. Is he a friend of yours? –Sally asked.
-As if. –Unicorn said.
-Oh, c'mon Uni. You did not speak about your friend here about your big brother? –The boy said.
-Big brother? Are you Mustang? –Sally asked.
-That's right cutie. –Mustang said, putting a finger in Sally's chin. –And who you might be?
Sally quickly removed his hand from her chin and took a step back. For some reason, her senses were telling her to keep some distance from Mustang.
-I-I'm Sally Highwind. I'm Unicorn's partner.
-So you WERE keeping her away from me. –Mustang said. –I would introduce myself but you already know my name. –Unicorn said nothing, just turn her back to her brother and left him alone with Sally., –Oh little sister. You hurt me with this behavior... –Mustang said with a dramatic tone. Sally made to follow her partner but with her semblance off, she did not notice Mustang putting himself in front of her, surprising her. Sally back off, and lean with her back against the wall. –So… -Mustang began with a hand on the right side of her head, smiling suggestively to Sally while his face got closer to hers. -… plan to do something later?
Sally passed below his arm and left Mustang alone in the corridor. Once away from the swordman, Sally left a shudder.
-Something about him makes me feel really uneasy. –Sally said and went after her partner.
Something about Mustang is clearly annoying Unicorn.
STRK Dorm room
Not point looking around when Sally knows that Unicorn would try to stay away from anything that annoys her in their dorm room. Most of the times she got in a fight with the orange haired girl from team JNPR, or had a fight with Goodwitch, Unicorn always walk back to her room and put the headphones in the maximum volume.
Unicorn was sitting in her bed but different from the other times, she was not with her headphones, or earphones, or her scroll playing some music, nothing. In fact, see her partner sitting alone in their dorm room in completely silence worried Sally.
-So, want to talk about something? –Sally asked. Unicorn did not took her eyes away from the nothingness she was looking. –I mean, you seemed a little upset with the presence of your brother. –Normally, Sally did not mind Unicorn's silence but this time, since something was bothering Unicorn, Sally felt annoyed with this silence.
Sally just sit down in her bed and waited for Unicorn to want to talk about why her brother seemed to bother her so much.
What come next was an uncomfortable silence. A one side conversation is one thing but Unicorn did not broke eye contact with the wall since Sally enter in the room. Seeing that Unicorn was not going to give an answer, Sally decides to stop ask and start to demand. She is the team leader, and knows that if something is bothering one of her teammates, this may also affect the team itself.
-Unicorn, I think you played enough "who blink first" with the wall. –She began. Her tone showing that she was annoyed as well. –Since the first day we meet, I keep talking while you refused to say more than three words. You now make part of a team, and if something is bothering you, you can come to any of us to help you with whatever is happening. –Unicorn keep staring at the wall, and Sally come to her limit. –LOOK AT ME! –Her angry tone actually make Unicorn pay attention to her, and wide her eyes in surprise.
Unicorn already knew that only a few things could annoys her leader, but she did not thought her own behavior be one of the things, not after every conversation they had since the year began. Seeing the fire in her leader's eyes, Unicorn took a deep sigh before spoke.
-Fine, what you want to know?
-Anything is fine. As long it makes you AND me speak more than just four words.
Unicorn thought for a moment. Sally actually opened herself a lot to Unicorn, so it is only fair that she do the same with her, telling to her leader something she did not spoke to anyone, not even Weiss.
-Come to this school was never my idea. –Unicorn began.
-What do you mean? You wanted to go to another academy? Maybe stay in Atlas or-
-No. –Unicorn interrupted. –I never wanted to be a huntress Sally. –Sally's eyes widened with what she just heard.
Unicorn was one of the prodigies of the first year of Beacon. She slacks in her studies but has the biggest grades in the tests. She rarely trains her skills but is the most skilled fighter of her team. She can name any type, order, and use of every dust in alphabetical order while almost sleeping. Sally just can't see how someone like her would not want to be a huntress.
-If you did not want to be a huntress, then why you are here in Beacon?
-My attitude. My parents were tired about me being so rebellious all the time. So they thought if there is some place what can teach me some respect, it would be Beacon. I still don't know why since Atlas is the academy who has the most disciplinary education between the four academies.
-What about your skills?
-What about it?
-How come you are so prodigious and not want to be a huntress?
-What if you was skilled in thievery but wanted to be something else? –Unicorn asked and Sally found ironic she used thievery from all the things, considering her father former career. –I never asked for those skills but people always assume that I should be a huntress just because I-using their words-born to be a huntress.
-Well, considering how good you are with a sword and how smart you are, I would agree with them but what about you? If be a huntress is not what you wanted to do then what you was aiming for? -Unicorn said nothing, just turn her head to another direction. Sally followed her gaze and see that Unicorn was staring at her weapon. Unicorn liked to keep her sword/shield/guitar with her all the time, and never let Silver Horn in her locker in the academy. -Music. –Sally said.
-Yes. –Unicorn answered.
Sally also heard Unicorn playing her guitar time from time, and she knows that her partner actually has the talent to be a musician. Sally may think like the others who said that Unicorn may have born to be a huntress but she would not force her or just put the idea in her mind. Unicorn's life is hers for her do whatever she wants, and if she wants to pursue a dream of be a musician, Sally would support her all the way.
-If you don't want to be in the academy, why don't you just left?
-My father made one of his bodyguard keep watching me from Vale. If I try to leave the academy without any permission, he will break my legs.
-W-what?! You can't be serious about this!
-I am.
-He is practically making you a prisoner of the academy.
-That is because I'm working on something to deal with him.
-Working? –Sally actually remember about the times Unicorn would left the dorm room and stay in the work shop for a couple of hours, working on something she is keeping secret since she began to work in. –You know, you could just start training and become skilled enough to beat this guy.
-Maybe next time. It is half complete already and will be finished in a couple of weeks.
-What will be finished? –Unicorn opened her mouth to spoke but said nothing. Instead, she got up from her bed and walked to Sally, her lips getting closer to Sally's ear. She stat to whisper in her ear what she was building and Sally's eyes once again widened. –You think you can build something like that?
-It is half finished already.
-But what you plan to do with that once you deal with your father's bodyguard?
-Don't know but I can think about this later.
-You could ask for our help.
-When I be in need of help, you guys will be the first one on the top of my list.
-You promise?
-I promise.
-Pinky Promise? –Sally asked showing her little finger to Unicorn.
The black haired girl rolled her eyes and made the promise with her finger. She may not have spoken a word about any issues with her brother but Sally was just glad that her partner finally starts to open herself with her. And Unicorn officially swore that if she needs help, Unicorn would call her teammates, and Unicorn may do a lot of things to annoy her professors but she would always keep her promises.
Then the door was just broken interrupting her thoughts. Ryan and Koro walked in the room all covered in ashes and with a dog biting Ryan in his left ankle.
-What did I just do? –Unicorn thought to herself.
End of the chapter.
Unicorn did not have too much scene in this version so I will try to make more chapter with her involved and I think I already mentioned that in the begining of this chatper. I will also try make her interact more with her teammates. Even in the last version she only interact with Sally.
Something interesting is that the chapters I used to focus on Unicorn were she would interact with Glynda is being readed more in Unicorn's own fic than was in this reboot and in the last version. People really are not interested in fics focused in OCs. But this did not stopped me before so I will keep with this story, the others liking or not.
See you next time.
