Upbeat musical number

RWBY CHIBI!

"WEISS!" Ruby shouted, slamming their dorm room door against her partner's desk. Normally Weiss would scold her for the behavior, but she held her tongue. "I want to tell you all about my latest series of crazy hijinks and then cut to a bunch of unrelated sequences together in a way that almost seems like a narrative-"

"Uh huh," Weiss just managed, still biting her tongue.

"And it'll all culminate in me leading you on and then putting you in a situation where you're stuck with me at your side!" Ruby continued.

"Uh huh," Weiss nodded, gritting her teeth.

"And then I'll remind you you're my BFF, and then you'll pretend you're upset with me and go along with my insane antics anyway-" Ruby started counting off her fingers. "-for like five, maybe six segments only loosely tied by continuity..."

"Uh huh," Weiss snarled more than spoke.

"And then we'll have a big battle of the bands that ends with me hugging you and us performing a duet together while we still cling to each other and totally avoid saying how much we love each other, even when we obviously do-"

"Stop," Weiss finally interjected, standing up from her desk.

"Yeah, okay," Ruby agreed. "Best not to spoil anything, keep 'em guessing..."

"No," Weiss cut her off again. "Stop your horrible, childish attempts to win me over with your silly antics and strange, overwrought attempts at humor."

"Oh, Weiss, that is so very you," Ruby dismissed. "Always complaining about how immature I am before you go along with it."

"No more," Weiss assured her. "Really, Ruby, I tried. I did what I could to accept you, whatever your faults, and feel I've been patient with you and your attempts at friendship, despite my lack of interest... but I am tired of tolerating this abuse of yours'."

"Abuse?" Ruby repeated.

Weiss recounted events, which conveniently manifested in clips of previous episodes in a thought bubble above her head. "Aside from your constant attempts to get my attention, there was the time you deliberately handcuffed me to yourself, under the pretense of giving me a gift. Then there was the time you invited yourself -and everyone on our sister teams- along on my vacation without my prior consent. Then there was the time you manipulated my thoughts while I was sleeping..."

Much, much later

Ruby was looking very sorrowful as Weiss continued to list off her grievances. Unlike in previous instances where her sadness was alleviated, now she was on the verge of tears as she was constantly reminded of how badly her attempts at friendship had backfired.

"...and finally, I've just had enough. Your lighthearted attempts at friendship or -or whatever you think we have- have all just made it clear to me how selfish and possessive you are," Weiss concluded. "I wanted your friendship, once: I really did. But now that I know just how little you really care about who I really am, I understand that I'm not what you want. I won't be the person you're trying to mold me into... and I don't want to be around the person you've always been."

She gathered up her books and notes. "So please, keep me out of your silly schemes and don't ever try to whisper while I'm sleeping again. Talk to me only when our team has to perform our duties as huntresses, and never for any other reason."

Weiss pulled the door open, not looking back. "I'm going to study in the library. Please don't text me until you've decided you can accept me as I am or unless you want to talk about something important."

Weiss disappeared into the hallway, leaving Ruby to think on all her choices and her selfish attempts to force Weiss into being someone she wasn't. She reached tentatively after her, before breaking down and crying.

Nora passed by the door, holding a bloodied knife in one hand. "Uh, hey, Ruby? Could you help me... move something? I saw this dark haired girl with kitty ears smiling at Ren and... um... well, remember how weird I get when I think Ren's attention isn't on me?"

Ruby just cried harder while Nora threw up her hands. "Sheesh, what's your problem?"
