Ruby quickly typed out her troubles onto her phone and just as quickly sent the message, hoping that her friend could help her out before the bell rang. Nora was the only person she could comfortably vent to, she never treated Ruby like a child or make things easier for her. In Fact, Nora often tried to make things Challenging for Ruby whenever they played online. Ruby really appreciated Nora for treating her like there was nothing wrong with her and even go so far as to invite her to go rock climbing once when they first met. Of course, Ruby declined for obvious reasons. One was that she was but a child who couldn't use her legs, and two was that she had just met the crazy, energetic girl. Ruby couldn't help but bite her lip nervously as she waited for a reply. Of course, when she did get her reply, she should have known that Nora would be so lighthearted about it.
[Nora]: Wow, I didn't know Little Red could get so angry! XD
[Ruby]: Nora, please! I'm being serious here…and when are you ever gonna stop calling me that? it's embarrassing.
Nora]: Oh please, don't pretend like you never liked that nickname. ;)
[Ruby]: I was 12 when you started calling me that! I'm nearly 15 now, I'm not a child anymore.
[Nora]: Sorry Little Red, but you'll always be that same little girl in red I met 2 years ago.
Ruby rolled her eyes as a smile grew on her face, despite what she told Nora, she did indeed like the nickname. Nora somehow always made Ruby happy no matter how bad of a mood she was in. However, she didn't contact Nora to chit chat.
[Ruby]: Fine...but back on topic. What should I do? I don't get why this girl is trying to so hard to be nice to me. She clearly didn't even want to tutor me when the principal asked her to, it makes no sense.
[Nora]: Well, it sounds like all you need to do is just apologize. I'm sure she feels just as bad about it as you do. And besides, don't go pretending I haven't overheard your conversation with Myrtenaster friday about your school life. You need to start taking it seriously or you'll regret it later in life.
[Ruby]: why should I apologize though? I was only being honest.
[Nora]: Sometimes being honest like that makes things worse. I'm sure that if you just apologize and explain why you acted the way you did, she'll understand. It's practically socializing 101.
[Ruby]: Yeah and I suck at socializing…
[Nora]: you seem to socialize perfectly fine as Crescent. Although, I have noticed you've been acting a bit more like your moody self online lately.
[Ruby]: Yeah, but Crescent isn't the one in a wheelchair with scars on her body, and I've been moody because of school. It's so stressful with so many people around, staring at me wherever I go.
Ruby put a hand on her stomach, she really hated those scars. She felt ugly because of them, even if no one could see them. All they did was bring horrible memories back from the grave. It took a bit longer than usual for Nora to respond, so she sat there, clutching the lower half of her sweater as she waited for her friend to respond.
[Nora]: How about we make a deal. if you apologize AND take the tutoring seriously, I won't tell Myrtenaster about the real reason why she got that Snow Angel's Staff.
Ruby's eyes widened, she was being blackmailed by her friend and she knew Nora was serious about this. She could only imagine the confident smirk Nora must have right now as she waited for Ruby to reply. She really didn't want Myrtenaster to find out, she wasn't ready for that level of embarrassment. It was bad enough that Pyrrha and Jaune knew already.
[Ruby]: Fine...not like I have much of a choice now.
[Nora]: Good. Now if you don't mind, I need to get back to my class. My professor is staring me down like an angry owl as we speak, wish me luck! XD
Ruby shook her head at the message. She truly was lucky to have a friend that would risk getting into trouble in class in order to help her out.
"Ruby, is your project done?" Ruby nearly jumped out of her chair. She didn't even notice Ms. Peach approach her. "Class is almost over and you've just been texting the whole time" despite how lenient she was, Ms. Peach was still a teacher and wouldn't tolerate student's slacking off too much.
"S-Sorry...I just wasn't in the right mood to draw today…" Ruby really didn't like disappointing Ms. Peach, her class was the only one that Ruby actually did the work for.
Ms. Peach shook her head at the excuse. "Well, I'm sorry to say that you don't have time to finnish it. Class is just about over."
Ruby was saddened at the idea of failing a project in art, she never failed one of Ms. Peach's assignments before. "umm ...i-is there a way I can finnish it at home? I'm almost done with it."
Ms. Peach looked at Ruby with a questionable look and then at the drawing that she had started. She sighed, Ms. Peach knew she shouldn't do this, but… "alright, you can finish it at home...but it better be finished when you come into class tomorrow." just then, the bell signifying the end of the school day rang and students began leaving the classroom in a hurry to head for their next class. Ruby was just about to leave but Ms. Peach stopped her. "Wait, I actually came to give you this note." before Ruby could say anything, Ms. Peach handed her a paper that was folded several times. "Someone stopped by and wanted me to give you this."
Ruby looked at the folder paper, nothing indicated who it was from. "Who would send me a letter?"
"Sorry, they told me to keep it a secret." Ms. Peach gave Ruby a playful smirk before returning to her desk. Ruby opened the letter and began to read it. Apparently it was a letter telling her to meet someone at the Library in the Non-Fiction section. Ruby was at a loss for words.
'Who would send me a letter? Is this a prank or something? ...Wait...i-is this a love letter?!' Ruby quickly shook her head, no way would someone fall in love with a girl in a wheelchair. No one would want to be with a depressed and helpless girl like her...right? She read the letter for a second time, then a third. 'What if it is a love letter...' Ruby blushed at the thought. Hesitantly, Ruby decided to do as the letter said and made her way to the School Library.
Weiss' day couldn't get any worse, she had an argument with her father first thing in the morning, was nearly late for her first class because of said argument, and worst of all...she blew her chances to try and befriend a certain Ruby Rose. The girl was being difficult to put it mildly, and it's not like Weiss was wrong in some of the things she said. Although, that doesn't make it any less hurtful towards Ruby. Weiss rested her head on her desk, failing to stay focused on the teacher's lecture on photosynthesis... though to Weiss' credit, she already went over this material during summer break with her father's hand-picked tutor. Weiss suddenly remembered the whole reason she got Ruby to eat lunch with her in the first place. 'I didn't even get the chance to speak to Ruby about where we should study...hell, at this point I don't even think she'd show up anyways...'
Suddenly, Weiss' phone vibrated, grabbing her attention away from her agonizing troubles. Weiss pulled out her phone and placed it on her lap so the teacher couldn't see it. The message wasn't from anyone in her contact list and therefore, had no name. Who could have gotten her phone number? The only people who had it was her family and Pyrrha. Weiss suddenly frowned as she was reminded of her nearly non-existent social life. Hesitantly, she opened the message only to be even more confused by what it said.
[?]: Hey, meet me at the school library after school. I'll be in the non-fiction section.
Weiss narrowed her eyes at the message, who in their right mind had the gall to give orders to Weiss Schnee? Furious, Weiss quickly typed out her reply and jammed her thumb on the send button.
[Weiss]: Who is this? How did you get this number?
No response. Did this person have the wrong number? Was it a prank? Regardless, Weiss wasn't going to shrug this off. If someone had her number without her permission, she was certainly going to confront them about it. Luckily, she didn't have to wait as the bell signifying the end of the school day echoed throughout the school. Once out of the classroom, Weiss made a dash for the Library. "I swear if this is some sort of prank, they're gonna wish they were never born."
The School Library was vast and empty as most students were already heading home. Weiss had always thought the Library looked beautiful, like something out of a fairy tale with its rows upon rows of tall wooden bookshelves, the perfectly cut and always clean tiled floor, the many large marble pillars that held up the ceiling. It was truly majestic. There was even a second floor that had a pretty decent view of the city from the hill the school stood on. Weiss began to make her way through the many bookshelves of the Non-fiction section until she found an opening where several tables were placed for students to read or study. She frowned when she saw that no one was there to greet her, so she decided to sit at one of the tables closest to her. 'Of course whoever sent me the text is late...If they don't show up in the next 10 minutes, I'm leaving.' Luckily, Weiss didn't have to wait for long.
"W-Weiss? W-What are you doing here?" a quiet and shocked voice sounded from behind her. Weiss turned her head toward the source, surprised by the sight of Ruby sitting in her wheelchair behind her. However, Weiss was confused when she noticed Ruby had quite the noticeable blush on her face. "W-Were the one w-who sent me the letter?"
"What? What letter? I was told to meet som-" just then, Weiss' phone dinged. She let out an irritable groan as she took out her phone and read the sudden text message.
[Pyrrha]: Hey! I got you a chance to fix this up with Ruby, don't screw it up. Good luck!
Weiss put her hand to the bridge of her nose as she hung her head. Of course Pyrrha set this up, but why did she do it in such a roundabout way?
"I-Is something wrong?" Ruby's voice was quiet but was just loud enough to get Weiss' attention.
"No, just a message from a friend..." Weiss didn't know what to do, she wasn't expecting to see Ruby here of all people. "I take it you got a weird text that told you to meet someone here too?"
""Wait, you mean...you're not the one who sent me this letter?" Ruby pulled out the letter she had gotten in art class from her hoodie pocket, holding it up for Weiss to see.
"I didn't send you any letter." Weiss swiftly took the letter out of Ruby's hand and began reading. Yep, that was Pyrrha's handwriting alright. "Pyrrha sent you this, I can recognize her handwriting anywhere."
Ruby's eyes went wide. "W-what?! P-Pyrrha sent me a love letter?!"
"What?! No you Dunce, she sent you this letter to get you and I to meet together." Weiss began to glare at Ruby. She swore this girl was gonna start giving her grey hairs in no time. "trust me, Pyrrha is as straight as an arrow."
Ruby shrunk into her wheelchair, realizing how stupid she sounded "Oh, right...o-of course. I knew that..." Ruby fiddle with her fingers as she mentally cursed herself for being so naive, thinking there was a chance of someone actually liking her in such a way.
A sudden silence hung between the two girls, quickly making the atmosphere around them to become awkward. Neither of them could look the other in the eye, deciding to simply stare at their own feet. After a while, Ruby couldn't bare the awkwardness, breaking the silence between them.
"I-I'm sorry." Ruby was giving everything she had not to stutter too much, though she wasn't doing too well. She couldn't believe she was actually apologizing to this girl.
Weiss lifted her head towards Ruby with a raised eyebrow. "Excuse me?"
"I-I'm sorry... f-for yelling at you back at lunch…y-you were only trying to help and I was being a jerk…" Ruby was quick to revert to her habit of fidgeting with her hair, her heart beat increasing the more she talked. She felt vulnerable as she tried really hard not to put up any walls like she usually would. Today was proving to be a stressful day, this was the second time she was forcing herself to socialize. 'Seriously, why am I apologizing? I'm sure she was just acting nice out of pity…'
Weiss simply stared at Ruby, she certainly wasn't expecting her to apologize, let alone talk to her. She wasn't used to people apologizing to her after an argument, especially since she was the one who would start them in the past. If she was being honest, she was actually bursting with joy on the inside. To anyone else, the apology was a conclusion to a petty argument among teenagers. But not to Weiss, to her it was a sign that she was given a second chance to win Ruby over, to befriend her and for Weiss to improve herself and free herself of her Ice Queen moniker.
She took a few steps towards Ruby. Weiss couldn't hide her happiness even if she tried. With a slightly bigger smile than she usually wore, she stretched out her hand down to Ruby. it took a second for Ruby to notice that Weiss had gotten closer to her. Lifting her head, she was surprised to see Weiss smiling at her, a warm and soft smile that she didn't think the alabaster girl was even capable of doing.
"I accept your apology, Ruby." Weiss' smile slowly turned to a small, subtle frown as she continued to speak. "although, I'll admit I can be a bit...difficult...and sometimes say mean things, but…" Weiss returned to smiling as she grew determined to make things right between her and Ruby. "I assure you, I am trying me best to do better. So, it would mean a lot to me if you gave me one more chance."
Ruby had to do a double take, Weiss' voice seemed different than her usual forced polite and formal tone. The emotions in her words didn't sound as forced as they were during lunch period. Even her facial expressions looked ten times more genuine. Ruby felt a familiar feeling in her stomach, like butterflies dancing around inside her. Last time she felt like this was a month ago when she met Myrtenaster.
"Ruby?" the sound of her name brought Ruby back to her senses, realizing she had made Weiss stand there awkwardly while trying to offer her a handshake.
"S-S-Sorry, I was spacing out." Ruby quickly stammered out, taking Weiss' hand a little too eagerly. Ruby suddenly felt a strong warmth in her chest, she was feeling...relieved? happy? Why did it feel so good to see and hear Weiss so happy? She decided to not think about it and move on, Ruby really didn't want to do this but Nora didn't give her a choice. she hated asking for people's help, it made her feel week and useless. besides, why would Weiss help her after her outburst back at lunch earlier? sadly, she had to do this, Ruby couldn't allow Myrtenaster to know her little secret crush she had on her. Ruby struggled to fight against the urge to put up all her walls, her apathetic and snarky facade would only make things difficult for her at the moment. The only thing she could do was hide behind her long jet black hair and fidget with it as she begrudginly asked Weiss to tutor her. Ruby didn't bother making eye contact with Weiss. "A-Also...I was hoping you would, umm...I-If you would still help me with my school work..."
Weiss was a bit shocked by Ruby's sudden heel turn, it was only several hours ago when Ruby snapped at her and claimed she didn't care if she failed her classes. However, Weiss wasn't gonna complain. She was simply happy that Ruby had given her a second chance, even if it looked like she didn't want to. "Of course, I'd be happy to help you. In fact, how about we start now? we are supposed to study today anyways" Weiss was already pulling out her textbooks, homework and other school supplies and placed them on the table next to her and Ruby.
"W-wait, right now? I-I didn't even bother to bring any school supplies today other than a couple of pencils and my notebook!" Ruby began to panic a little, she hadn't realized how unprepared she was until now. "Hell, I even have a drawing I need to finish by tomorrow for Ms. Peach's art class.
Weiss gave Ruby a confident smirk. She and Ruby may have made amends, but she never planned to give Ruby any slack while tutoring her. "Consider this your first lesson then, always come to school prepared." Weiss pulled out a chair and shoved it underneath another table, giving Ruby room to sit next to her. She then sat at the table and opened her textbook. "Today we'll just focus on getting our ctoday's homework done, ok? No need to get all worked up on the first day."
Ruby reluctantly pulled her wheelchair up to the table beside Weiss and took out her homework. "Alright, fair enough..." With an exasperated sigh, she got started on her homework for the day. Ruby decided to start on one of her favorite subjects first, math. She had always been excellent at math in the past, so Algebra should be no problem. 'Alright, let's see here. Problem number one is…..crap, I have no idea what I'm looking at.'
Ruby was at a loss, she hadn't realized just how complex Algebra could be and now she was quickly beginning to regret not paying attention in her class. She used to be praised for her math skills by her teachers back in her older schools, but now she was just as lost as Jaune got when they raided dungeons together. Ruby was finally realizing just how stupid and childish she had been. She not only lost the use of her legs, but now she couldn't even live up to her past self. The only difference is that it's her own fault this time and not some freak accident. Right now, Ruby wanted nothing more than to go back in time and slap her past self silly for being such a stubborn ass.
"Need some help?" Ruby nearly jumped from her wheelchair. she had completely forgotten that Weiss was sitting just inches away from her.
"N-No, I was just spacing out...A-Algebra isn't too hard." she at least told Weiss half the truth. Truth be told, it was the hardest thing she had ever seen. It was like looking at an alien language.
"You know, you're a terrible liar." Weiss instantly leaned over towards Ruby to get a better view of her homework, oblivious to how red Ruby's face was getting. "This one's easy, you first solve-" Ruby couldn't focus on anything Weiss was saying. It also didn't help that Weiss was way too close to her. It took everything Ruby had to focus on the math problem instead of how pale and smooth Weiss' face was or how her alabaster hair freely fell down her back and shoulders, practically shining from the sunlight that fell upon them from the nearby window. Weiss suddenly turned her head to face her, looking directly into her silver eyes. "Does that make sense to you?"
"Uhh…maybe?" was all that Ruby could muster.
Weiss pinched the bridge of her nose and shook her head. "This is gonna be a long afternoon..."
The sun was beginning to set as it was ever so slowly engulfed by the city's skyline, the sky becoming a bright orange. Weiss and Ruby were currently waiting outside the school for their respective rides home. They had gotten done with Ruby's homework faster than Wiess had expected as she was quick to find out first hand that Ruby was a fast learner. At first, Ruby was acting embarrassed for some odd reason whenever Weiss leaned over to help her, but to Weiss' surprise, Ruby quickly got over it and was steamrolling through the work. As if Weiss wasn't impressed enough by the speed in which they got done, Ruby got nearly every question right on her math homework, History was child's play for the younger girl, and english was a bit slower but nonetheless she did a surprisingly good job on it. Though her grammar was not exactly stellar, Weiss thought it was good enough.
"I have to say, Ruby. I'm impressed with how quickly you caught on to the math equations, it takes most people a couple of tries before getting the hang of it." Weiss was more than impressed actually, she was actually kind of jealous of Ruby's math skills.
"I-I'm not that good or anything, I used to be a lot better at math to be honest..." Ruby was currently adding the final touches to her art project while waiting with Weiss. Her home in the sketch was complete, the surrounding forests just needed a few minor details added in and it would be finished.
"Are you kidding me? You're amazing, you got all but one question right and it was your first time even seeing those equations. Sure it took you some time to understand it, but that's only because you're so far behind." She tried her best to reassure Ruby.
"I guess you're right, I just feel...like...is that a limo?" sure enough, there was a black limo pulling into the school's parking lot, though it was a bit shorter than most. As it got closer, Ruby noticed an intricate white snowflake hood ornament sitting proudly on the hood.
"Oh, that's my ride home." Weiss stated as they watched the limo pulled up in front of them.
"Wait, you have a limo?" just then, a balding man with a ginger mustache stepped out from the driver's seat and eagerly walked around to open the rear passenger door for Weiss. Ruby couldn't believe what she was seeing, just who the hell was Weiss and what does her family do for a living. "Y-You have a butler too!?"
"Miss Schnee, does your friend need a ride home as well?" The man asked with a warm smile and a gruffy but still elegant voice.
Weiss was about to answer, but Ruby cut her off before she could even open her mouth. "N-No, I'm good. My sister Yang should be here any minute."
Weiss perked up at the mention of Yang. "Wait a minute, you're sisters with that blonde bru-"
The sound of a truck's horn cut Weiss off, followed by the sound of a certain loud blonde brute she had the misfortune of knowing. "Hey Schnee! Your limo is in my way!" right behind Weiss' limo was a bright yellow pick up that was probably as old as her father, Yang's head was sticking out from the driver's side window. However, the blonde brute couldn't see her little sister from her position.
Ruby rolled her eyes as she started to Propelled herself towards her sister's truck. "I better go before Yang tries to run over your limo." Of course Ruby was only joking, but she knew that her sister would probably attempt to do just that. Just as she was about to roll past Weiss, she stopped in her tracks. "T-Thanks, by the way…" and with that, Ruby quickly darted off towards her sister's truck.
Yang got out of her truck when she suddenly saw Ruby roll into view from beside the limo, slamming the door behind her. "Hey Rubes, can you believe this? The Ice Queen really knows how to show off doesn't she?"
Ruby rolled up to the passenger side and opened the door. "Ice Queen? You mean Weiss?" she asked as she glanced over towards the limo, only to see it already driving off and out of the school's parking lot.
"Yeah, who else would I be talking about?" once Ruby was out of her wheelchair, Yang folded it up and tossed it into the back of her truck and made her way back to the driver's seat.
Ruby waited for her sister to get into the truck before continuing the conversation "Why do you keep calling her the Ice Queen?"
"Because she's a cold hearted rich brat? Seriously, you've been going to this school for little over a month, how do you not know who Weiss Schnee is?" Yang was already pulling out of the parking lot by the time she finished her sentence, racing down the road slightly faster than she should be.
Ruby hadn't realized it until now, she could have sworn she had heard of the name Schnee from somewhere."Well, I'll admit that her last name does sound familiar..."
Yang let out a sigh. Of course her sister didn't know who Weiss Schnee is, she barely talked to anyone to begin with. "She's the heiress of the Schnee Dynamo Corporation, her dad is practically a billionaire."
"What?! The Schnee Dynamo Corporation? The same one that Dr. Polendina worked for!?" Ruby nearly jumped out of her seat in shock, the famous mechanical engineer was legendary for his work in the fields of computer science and robotics. Ruby has idolized the man for years. However, he left the SDC after some sort of scandel involving the FRVR tech and created his own company to continue the development of the FRVR.
"Polen-who?" Yang gave Ruby a questionable look, but quickly returned to watching the road as she nearly forgot she was driving.
Ruby couldn't help but turn into a squealing fangirl. "Dr. Carlo Polendina! One of the greatest engineers in recent history! He's the creator of the FRVR gaming system and even helped work on the Scroll smartphone! Even his daughter is amazing, she helped him make some of the games for the FRVR."
Yang perked up at the mention of the FRVR gaming system. "The FRVR? Isn't that the new virtual reality system that came out a couple of years ago?"
Ruby suddenly realized what she had just said, she was revealing too much knowledge to her sister. "Umm, yeah...i-it's pretty cool. N-not that I've ever used one or anything." Ruby instinctively began rubbing the back of her head as she forced out an awkward laugh.
Yang wasn't stupid, she knows when her sister is lying or hiding something from her. "Right...aren't they super expensive? I think I heard somewhere that they're like a thousand dollars or something like that. I don't think we'd ever be able to afford one of those." Yang really hoped to get Ruby to mess up and accidently confess whatever it is that she is hiding, she didn't like it when people close to her tried to hide things.
"Y-yeah, I could only dream of such a thing…" Ruby muttered, little did Yang know how badly Ruby wanted to escape into her virtual life right now.
"Oh, I almost forgot. How did your little study session go? Is your tutor the hot professor type?" Yang teased as she took a sharp turn onto a dirt road leading up to their home.
"Ew, no! She's another student." Ruby nearly shuddered by the mere thought of some older man tutoring her, that would surely be boring as all hell compared to what she actually had to go through with Weiss.
Yang grew a sly smile. Her little sis had no idea what kind of ammo she just given her. "Oh, so it's a girl, huh?" Yang began wiggling her eyebrows while giving her sister a knowing look.
Ruby tried hard not to blush from Yang's teasing but was failing miserably, her face practically glowed red with embarrassment. "Yang! I-I-It's nothing like that!"
Yang chuckled, teasing her sister would never become boring. "Jeeze, it's been a long time since my teasing riled you up. So what is she like? She's not mean is she?"
"Surprisingly enough, Weiss is actually really helpful...d-despite how difficult she can be at times." Ruby was instantly bombarded by memories of Weiss leaning over her as she explained certain equations, causing her face to turn a subtle shade of red.
Yang nearly choked at the mention of Weiss' name, causing her to pull into their driveway a little rougher that she wanted to. Ruby could have sworn she felt the side of the truck lift a few inches from the ground. "The Ice Queen is tutoring you?!"
"Umm, yeah? Didn't I mention that earlier?" finally outside their home, Ruby opened the door. "Also, could we get out of the truck please? My homework isn't gonna do itself."
Yang wasn't exactly pleased to hear that Weiss Schnee was the one helping Ruby with her education. "This is actually the first time you mentioned who your tutor was..." She grumbled as she slammed the door behind her and grabbed Ruby's wheelchair from the back of her truck. "And I gotta be honest, I don't like the idea of the Ice Queen tutoring you."
Ruby eagerly got into her chair and began rolling herself towards the front door of their home with Yang following shortly after her. "Why not? And seriously, why do you keep calling her the Ice Queen?"
Just as Yang was about to open her mouth, Blake walked out of the front door of their home and answered Ruby's question for her. "Because she's a cold hearted and entitled little brat that thinks she's better than anyone else."
Ruby was a bit shocked to see her sister's girlfriend at their home. However, her shock quickly went away as she simply decided to roll right on past her and into the house. "I'll be in my room doing some homework if you need me." She grumbled.
Blake watched Ruby pass her, unable to keep herself from frowning. She waited until she was sure Ruby was out of view and earshot before speaking to Yang. "Not even a hello this time…"
Yang sighed, she wished Ruby would at least interact with her girlfriend more. "Sorry, I kind of forgot to tell her that you were coming over today so I guess you're sudden appearance took her off guard."
Blake leaned her back against the wall, crossing her arms as she stared into the forest beyond the front yard. "Well, maybe I'll get more than just a hello this weekend."
"You really think Pyrrha's theory is correct, huh?" Yang asked as she leaned on the wall beside Blake.
"Don't you? I know it sounds crazy but it just makes too much sense for us to ignore the possibility."
Yang let out a long sigh. As much as she wanted to deny it, Pyrrha's theory had a lot of merit. "I don't know. If Pyrrha is right, then that just means I don't know my sister as much as I thought I did."
Just then, Blake's stomach let out a loud rumble, surprising both Yang and herself. "Well... I hate to ruin the moment, but I think it's about time we had dinner."
Yang grew a smug smile as she wrapped her arms around her girlfriend. "Good thing I plan on making tuna casserole then, huh?"
"That would be lovely." Blake cooed, eager to have dinner with her girlfriend and her family.
Locking the door, Ruby sighed in relief. Truth be told, Ruby had already finished all her homework back at the school library with Weiss. She only felt slightly guilty for lying to her sister, she just wanted to spend the last couple of hours of the day online with her friends. Rolling up to the side of her bed, she silently pulled out a cardboard box from under her bed. After setting the box on the bed, she opened it to reveal the black skin tight Relaysuit and helmet that allowed her to travel to another world. Now came the hard part, she had to get her noncompliant legs into this super tight suit.
Ruby tossed the suit onto the bed before climbing into it herself. She looked back at her door to make sure she had indeed locked it. After such an exhausting day at school, Ruby was eager to jump back into her online life. After stripping down to just her panties she started to change into the suit, Ruby groaned as she struggled with her noncompliant legs just like every other time she tried to put the suit on. However, this time it was a bit more difficult than usual, the tightness was making it extremely difficult to force her pale and plump legs into the suit. "Ok, it's official. I am gonna have to cut back on the number of cookies I eat…" She let out a small chuckle at her own self deprecating joke. Her legs were certainly getting a little too fatty for the suit and she couldn't afford to order a new one. The suits were custom made after all and so she needed to make sure she didn't get too big for it. On the bright side, the suits did have some elasticity to them.
After about five agonizing minutes, she finally got the suit on. Her legs felt a bit constricted by the suit, more so than usual as she noticed how her legs were stretching the fabric of the suit. "Ok, either I really do need to eat less or I need a new suit, I was pretty small back in the hospital afterall...oh who am I kidding, all I can do is eat less. I could never afford a new suit." She whined to herself as she zipped the suit all the way up, constricting her chest rather tightly. "Ok, I was definitely smaller two years ago….stupid puberty, I better not end up like Yang or so help me." Ruby deadpanned, trying to ignore the fact that she was growing out of the suit faster than she wanted to.
Now that the hard part was done, Ruby eagerly pulled the helmet out of the box and secured it to her head, connecting the small cord that dangled from the helmet to the suit on the nape of her neck. Now that everything was set and ready, Ruby got herself comfortable with her plump legs as straight as possible and her arms perfectly parallel to her sides. after a long deep breath, Ruby was ready. "game start." Ruby commanded with a gleeful but quiet cheer. The all too familiar numbness engulfed her wherever her nerves weren't damaged and Ruby was slowly pulled into the world that was Beacon of Remnants Online.
