Ruby gave a groan as the lights were thrown on. "Whaaaat?" She mumbled, tucking her head under her blankets.

"Up, Ruby! We have places to be!" Roman's chipper voice announced as Drei jumped on Ruby's bed.

"Fine." A sleepy teenager poked from the covers only to be attacked by Drei. She shoved his face away and rolled out of bed, and Roman left. With a moan, Ruby rubbed her eyes and saw the clock display 2:07 in bright red numbers. "For fuck's sake, Roman!" She yelled.

"Language!" Roman called back as chipper as ever. "Get ready, we're leaving in three minutes."

"Hypocrite!" Ruby shouted and started going through her dresser.

"Love ya too, kid!" Roman responded.

"Drei, turn around." Ruby muttered and the doberman obeyed. She got dressed quickly and brushed her hair before taking the ponytail out. She slid the rubber band onto her wrist so she could braid it again in the car. "Love you buddy!" Ruby blew Drei a kiss, who barked happily as Ruby snatched two protein bars and a water bottle before using her semblance to get out the door and down to the lot where Roman and Neo waited in the car.

'About time.'

"Shut up." Ruby muttered. Neo smiled as the girl tore into a protein bar. "Okay, now can you tell me why in hell we're awake at two in the morning?" She demanded.

"Crazy bitch lady wants to see us again." Roman responded.

Ruby sighed and crumpled up the wrapper before starting to braid her hair. "Of course its her." She sighed.

"I'm not too thrilled either - trust me." Roman told her.

"Neo, can I have your thermos?" Ruby asked. Neo clutched the container close to her chest before flipping Ruby off. "Come on! I just want a sip, please!" She exclaimed. Neo shook her head and Ruby lunged as far as the seatbelt would let her in an attempt to steal Neo's coffee.

"Never took you for a coffee person, Red. But with what Neo does to her coffee I bet would have you bouncing around Remnant for the next seventeen years." Roman commented.

"I. Need. Caffeineeeee!" Ruby wailed, Neo sighed and signed.

'If it makes you shut up. One sip, that's it.' Ruby all but ripped the thermos from the mute's hands and took as big of a sip as she could muster. 'Stop being greedy!' Neo snatched it from her immediatly. The coffee was sweet on Ruby's tongue - hell, it barely even tasted like actual coffee. It was no secret that Ruby and Neo had serious sweet tooths, and it drove Roman up the wall when he had to buy more sugary treats to placate both girls.

There had been one incident where there was no sweets left, several years ago. Roman was still scarred from the rage of the two.

"Thank you, Neo." Ruby said earnestly. Neo smiled softly and nodded to her.

"How about some ja-" Roman started to speak,

"No!" 'No!' Both girls snapped at him. Ruby took it a step further. "Your music sucks, i'd rather get eaten by a beowolf then listen to Acheive Man again!"

"Hey!" Roman exclaimed.

"He has no comeback because he likes my music." Ruby stage-whispered to Neo, who smiled and nodded.

"You both are insufferable." Roman sighed as they arrived.

When they arrived at the warehouse, Cinder waited for them with a sleepy Emerald leaning against a wall. Mercury was slumped against the same wall, but clearly asleep. He was snoring.

"Good, you came." Cinder told them. Ruby found herself leaning slightly on Neo, who looked only just slightly more awake than Emerald.

Roman and Cinder walked out of earshot and Neo offered her thermos again to Ruby, who gratefully drank.

"Any idea why the hell we all were dragged here.." Ruby gave a giant yawn "If those two just talk and never incorperate us?"

Emerald shook her head, Neo shrugged.

After what felt like ages, Roman finally came back to collect Ruby and Neo.

"Fucking bitch..." Roman growled and produced a piece of paper. "Do my bidding! Here are my groceries. Kill these people, rob these stores. Paint my damn finger and toenails!" He spat, reaching for his lighter and a cigar.

He proceeded to put the paper in his mouth to grabba cigar. Lit the paper in his mouth, mistaking if for the cigar. And started screeching. "Fuck! Fuck!" while he stomped out the flames.

"That's one way to evade your responsibilities." Ruby commented as this time Roman actually lit the cigar.

"Shut the hell up, Red." Roman snapped. As a reward for pissing Roman off, Neo let Ruby drink from her thermos of nearly-but-not-overly too sweet coffee.

Uh hi. I wrote this at 5am. Really short because I need a note.

So, 1) I now have Discord server: 5AYbh. It will encompass all of my main stories and be a chance for you to talk to others who enjoy One Mans Trash Is Another's Treasure.

2) i've narrowed the choice down. The two choices for the Ruby-replacement is now either Illia or an OC whose details I will list below.

Name: Rain Myrsky

Sex: Female

Weapon: Crossbow

Backstory: The daughter of Alder Myrsky, Rain has a vendetta against the criminal Red who killed her father in cold blood. She enrolled in Beacon to become a huntress for the sole purpose of avenging her father. She was raised by her older brother, Garnet after their mother killed herself following Alder's murder.

There's more to her, but I'll let you all choose who you want.

Illia? Or Rain? Leave a review voting who it will be. I'll decide when I write the next chapter.

(Ey, its 5:55 am)

Thank you, I'm going to now sleep.
