It's 11 at night when most of the Beacon is off with lights, Yang tries to comfort Ruby in her study, with Blake staring at the two from her bed, looking sleepy but mostly awake.
"Yang, I thought we were supposed to switch off the lights by 10 already." Blake pulls out another book from her bag. "...Also, do you know who's our fourth roommate yet? I don't like surprises."
"Blake if you please, can you help out Ruby on this one, I need to go get her some beverages." Yang runoff as Blake is still laying on her bed.
"yes?"
Ruby looks pretty much dead, when Blake finally realizes, she is now left with Ruby alone in the room, she soon notices Ruby's eyes move creepy towards her, Blake moves a few steps back by instinct, behind her bed.
"Blake… Can you help me on this one?"
"Oh… ok."
Blake sits at where Yang was before, a closer look on Ruby, little red isn't as scary as Blake thought it may be, her hand didn't stop writing and she's rather focused on her tasks at hand, Blake wonders why Ruby needs help.
"History of Remnant… do you know where Vacuo is, Blake?" Blake gulps as Ruby puts her attention towards the book on the left, while Ruby is still solving mathematical problems with her right hand, she also noticed some terrified grimm drawing on the paper, and some scratches on the book.
It reminds Blake of her past that she didn't want to bring it out anymore, however looking rather calm analyzing Ruby's study, Blake decides to respond.
[Crap, why am I doing this?]
Blake nods and tries to point at the land to the west of Vale, Ruby notices but stops what she's doing and becomes totally silent. "... I heard footsteps."
"It must be Yang, I go open the door." A sigh of relief, Blake leaves the awkward situation with Ruby as soon as possible.
"Yang, I-" It's Weiss, Blake doesn't expect the princess would come to her this late, but she soon notices the bags with her. "Do you just forget what we said earlier?"
Clearly annoyed by Weiss's presence, Blake making sure Weiss isn't going to enter the room anytime soon.
"Oh Belladonna, if it wasn't that misery Ozpin, I wouldn't be here alright? Wait! I'm sorry! Please let me in! Damn it!"
[Worst night ever… Need to do something for sure.]
"Ruby?" Blake fake her smiles. "Weiss wants to meet you."
After successfully manipulating Ruby to come near the door, she let Weiss in and pushed Ruby to her.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Weiss unprepared for the incoming rose, now being pushed under Ruby, Ruby looks more excited than she usually is.
"Weiss do you come to see me?"
"Belladonna! Come back!" Weiss isn't so sure what's going on, when she saw Blake moving away from her, she knew something must be wrong. "Belladonna! What the hell?"
"Come Weiss, Come with me." Ruby pulls her up as she brings her heavy bags in too. "I'm a little too excited just now hehe."
"Oh, what do you do?" Weiss looks at the broken table, damaged walls and pieces of furniture, it all comes back to a smiling Ruby, it just doesn't look right. "Ruby?"
"Don't worry Weiss, I'm just a little mad sometimes, it's been a few hours studying… books, I kinda feel strange for not using Crescent for this long…" Ruby looks closer at her rapier, Weiss holds her back.
"Woah woah woah, hold on, what's going on with you?" Weiss walks while realizing things might be worse than she thinks. "You don't feel alright, do you?"
(bite)
"Yikes! What are you doing!" Little red is hungry, Weiss's finger being chewed softly by her sharp teeth, she's not looking like she used to, clearly losing control over herself, Weiss trying to get to her rapier.
"Weiss, you may not know, but I like the smell of grimm, I can smell them so far out when I'm hungry." Ruby let Weiss go, but Weiss quickly stops her from leaving the room.
"Calm down Ruby! There isn't any grimm nearby!"
"Ruby! I'm back!" Yang saw Weiss trying to push Ruby onto the ground, while Ruby seems pretty much souless now, Yang without thinking blasts her fist towards Weiss.
"WOah! I'm not your enemy!" Weiss with the help of time magic, dodge the incoming deadly punch.
"What have you done to Ruby!" Yang quickly feeds her little sister some cookies, also some milk. "Damn! She's still hungry."
"Wait… does she," Weiss became a little worried, both hands on her rapier. "...she eats humans?!"
"Of course not! She is always on her way to killing more stuff, she can't stand staying in one place for too long." Yang quickly carries Ruby outside, where Blake reading her book casually on the bench.
"Glynda on the right."
"Thanks."
Weiss soon followed, but Blake stopped her. "What's your business over here?"
"Belladonna, this is not the right time." Weiss cast an ice wall around Blake and ran around, but Blake soon cut it open and chased after Weiss.
"You're just making things messy." Blake's hidden blade slides through the air and lands on Weiss's hair, she soon dash forward and stops Weiss once again.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Ruby is an interesting girl princess, I'm pretty sure you have noticed it…" Blake's cold stare is hard to tell whether or not she's threatening or just talking. "She's crucial in our legends' unspoken tale, you better don't get in my way."
Weiss could see Ruby floating in mid-air as the night Remment moon shines upon her, Blake notices it and chooses to remove her own presence, letting Weiss go, it seems like some kind of unknown power from the night sky is making Ruby… fly, when Weiss decides to come closer, Yang crosses her arms looking rather wordless.
"Who's she?" Weiss asked, but Yang shakes her head.
"Hi Weiss." Ruby's bright silver eyes hold her movement. "I'm back~"
Weiss could see the enormous amount of undetectable dust surrounding Ruby, they stayed for a couple of spins it seems, before disappearing mid-air, after many years of her study in dust, Weiss can't conclude what just happened in front of her eyes, she isn't sure if it's even dust that making Ruby float mid-air, it seems like magic, it seems unpredictable yet warm, Weiss can't help but experience reality shock for a moment. "Are you alright? What happened just now? Yang, you have to tell me who's this girl?"
"It's complicated." Yang doesn't feel like explaining at the moment. "I almost forgot she can do this as well.
"Hm, hm, I'm more than fine now thanks to the new moon blessing." Ruby happily jumps around Weiss, she swings her Cresent weightlessly, her cap moves as there's the wind, Weiss notices Ruby is able to control her movement as she stops and look down on her, the little red's smile looks fairy-like with her cute skirt and warm dust around her, something that Weiss never believe in (fairy).
"You'll get used to it." Yang comes forward to Weiss as she knows what's up in her mind. "She's the daughter of Summer Rose, ten years undefeated champion… Ruby obviously didn't fall behind."
"Come on Weiss, why are you looking so mad? It's supposed to be warm and light, most importantly fun~ Come!" Ruby gives Weiss her hand, Weiss feels like she's afloat somehow, with Yang being shocked.
"Wait! You can do that?!"
"I only know just now!" Blake the one hiding behind the bushes gets pulled off too, along with Yang, the mysterious warm light apparently has enough power to bring them all up into the night sky of Beacon, the journey is shocking but a pleasant one,
three of them watch Ruby happily play around with the dust that surrounds her, along with the mysterious night moon that only shines upon Ruby, it becomes clear that the night is owned by little red, where she's having the most fun out of it.
"Ah wooooooo!"
"Ruby! What are you doing!" Ruby's voice is so loud it can be heard across Beacon, Yang quickly catches her in mid-air, she didn't know how but now she finds out that she's holding Ruby in her chest.
"Hehe, I was just thinking of how the wolves howl." Ruby clearly enjoys herself, but for the others, they are undecided and worry, they are still elevating in heights, seeing Beacon as big as their thumb, the wind becomes colder and stronger but the lights are also becoming warmer, soon they feel like they are touching the sky.
Weiss looks at her hand that's being surrounded by dust, unlike the lifeless mineral she used to know of dust, it actually feels warm and alive, almost unlike anything from this world, while Yang is busy with Ruby, Blake quickly comes across Weiss.
"Don't you even think of bringing her back to Mantle, she's mine." Blake is still learning how to fly as she just passes Weiss. "Your smile is horrible by the way."
"Belladonna!" Weiss feeling shy but mostly mad, she quickly chases Blake, which soon becomes a two girl chase mid-air. "I'm going to teach you a lesson!"
"Oh Yang, I suppose Beacon isn't too bad after all." Ruby continues to be friends with the moonlights, she's not even trying to move now, yet it feels like the blessing continues. "It feels so comfortable…"
"Ruby? Aren't we going a little too high? We would be heading towards the moon!" Yang soon discovers the clouds hide Beacon from sight, and the horizon becomes places for stars. "Ruby?"
"Hehehe…" Surprisingly, the wind blows softly as the moonlights shines upon Ruby, it's at this moment Yang knew that her little sister is very special, not that she didn't know before, but she finally sees it herself, the other two stops when they accidentally saw an angel-like figure appear upon Ruby, the night blessing ends without anyone knowing how they get back to the ground, and it feels almost like a dream.
"Last chance to explain yourself!" Glynda clearly is not happy when she knows students are breaking the rules again. "It's sleeping time for kids now! Or you will never grow taller!"
"Yikes!"
"Ruby please!"Weiss quickly pushed Ruby out, after she just went hiding behind Weiss."...just show her how we float upwards to the sky just now!"
"Uhm… I don't think I can do that now…"
"Why?"
"I don't know! But I feel satisfied already!" The four are forced to get back to their room, luckily Glynda letting them go but only before changing her mind. If it wasn't Ozpin came to compromise later one, the girls would have a tireless night, listening to Glynda's teaching while apologizing non-stop.
Ruby is tired as she just passes out on bed sooner than they expected, however, the other three girls not forgetting how they went through a lifetime experience, tonight is a special night for them.
"Yang." Blake whispers. "Are you awake?"
"Of course I am." Yang sounds a little disappointed. "How could Ruby never know how to bring me up before… I still couldn't believe it."
"Hey." Weiss joined. "What else do you know about her?"
"She's not just her, she's my little sister, Weiss." Yang turns around after feeling Weiss's urge to juice information from her, Yang doesn't know if it's just jealousy or curiosity. "I don't know what makes Ruby sticking with you this much, but if I found out you make her cry, the next thing you know is you're going to the infirmary."
"...more like I would send to the infirmary by Ruby first than you." Blake chuckled a bit as she heard Weiss's response, but soon suffer one pillow throw attack.
"...Hey!"
"You girls better don't wake Ruby up…" Yang warns as she pulls her blanket up. "She has amazing night vision."
Blake's eyes could see the two silver lights seeing through her soul, Ruby is standing in front of her without warning, almost like a ghost scene where she read the Lost Halloween, Blake's soul scared faster than cat speed.
Be. Quiet. Whispers Ruby. Blake feels the hidden anger by Ruby, which she didn't have the curiosity to say sorry.
[Shit.]
Weiss although not a direct victim, is clearly affected by Ruby's unnatural speed as she performs sudden appearance tricks.
"Well, goodnight everyone." Ruby crawled herself back to her bed, but unfortunately landed on top of Weiss, she can't believe Ruby actually weighed this light like a puppy sitting on top of her.
"Ruby… Ruby…"
"It's useless." Yang doesn't even look back. "Ruby would never awake if she chose not to."
"Ruby! Ruby! UGH! WHY ME!" Weiss feels a little annoyed as she just pushes Ruby away but fails, Blake watches as she seems to be the "winner" for today, although she isn't going to fully sleep when sharing the same bedroom with Weiss, both of them clearly don't trust each other.
"Nice pillow you got there princess."
"Belladonna, I think that's enough for today, no more." Weiss admits defeat after "pinned" down by Ruby in bed, a pleasant night soon becomes an unforgiving one, as Weiss is clearly out of breath the next morning.
"What's wrong with her?"
"Don't you say Ruby, don't you say." Yang feeling a bit guilty with Weiss soulless on the ground. "I forgot Ruby had this weird habit, really sorry Weiss."
"..."
