RWBY belongs to Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth

Chapter Eight: Forced Quality Time

Ruby sat in her chair feeling very uncomfortable in her current situation. Ozpin was sitting in his chair with his head leaning into his folded hands. He continued to stare at the pair with little to no expression on his face.

Ozpin blinked once more than sighed as he dragged one hand down his face. "So, you're both in here for what reason again?" Ozpins voiced this with little tone.

Weiss was the first to speak. "Well, we had a little argument in the classroom."

Ozpin sighed again. "Be more specific."

"W-" Weiss began but Ruby cut her off.

"We had a loud argument after she decided to judge my life like some Goddess or something."

"Well if you weren't such a degenerate than I wouldn't have made those claims."

"Oh, so just because I don't make millions, I'm a degenerate." Ruby seethed out her reply.

Weiss took a moment to overlook Ruby. "I never said that you fight and associate yourself with a bad crowd. That's what makes you a degenerate."

Ruby was practically growling now. Two can play that game. "If I'm a degenerate than I guess you're just a spoiled brat."

Weiss gasped at Ruby claim. "You don't know me."

Ruby laughed and gave Weiss a little wink. "I know more than you think." When Ruby said this Weiss looked shocked but turned her head away. "What…aren't you going to degrade me even more."

"It seems I was forgotten." Ozpins voice came through to the girls. It had just registered to Ruby that they were in Ozpin's office arguing, making the point of why they were sent here in the first place pretty clear.

"Usually the 1st and 2nd pair get along with a bit a friendly competition but it's clear to me that you two just don't like each other. Let's change that."

Weiss spoke up first again "Good suggestion, we should both get different partners. May I sug-"

Ozpin sighed again interrupting Weiss. "Ms. Schnee you're keeping Ruby as your partner, rather than suspending you two I'm going to offer a deal of sorts."

Ruby and Weiss gave Ozpin a questioning look. "What kind of deal." Both girls said at the same time.

"Well, I want you two to spend every lunch and other free time at school together until winter break." Ozpin smiled at the girls as he went to take a sip of coffee.

Ruby started to shake her head no. "No way that sounds like a terrible deal."

"Ruby you've already been suspended way too many times this time I'll have to expel you. Take the deal or leave the school."

Ruby's eyes widen with surprise. She thought over all the times she's been suspended, now that I think about it Ozpin should've expelled me a long time ago.

Ruby sighed in defeat. "I'll take the deal Oz."

Ozpin and Ruby looked at Weiss awaiting her answer. Weiss looked back at them. "What I'm going to take the deal, I can't be suspended."

"Right…" Ozpin cleared his throat and began to type on his keyboard.

Ruby looked over at Weiss with a dumbfounded look. "That was anticlimactic."

"I can't ruin my perfect image." Weiss dusted off her skirt and crossed her legs.

"I'm sure someone in class is going to mention you being sent down to the office on the first day." Ruby muttered this thought out loud to herself.

"Oh, Ruby I'm still going to call your mom." Ozpin leaned over from the computer screen to look at Ruby.

Ruby mumbled under her breath. "Damnit."

"What was that." Ozpin didn't even bother to give a questioning glance.

"N-nothing."

"All right then I'm going to get your contract when I come back sign them and then you two can head back to class." Ozpin got up from his desk and left the two girls in the office alone.

Ruby was fine for a few moments but the silence was starting to get to her, she began to tap her fingers against the chair arms and hum.

"What are you doing?" Weiss sounded annoyed from the noise that the redhead was generating.

"Nothing just tapping away." Ruby looked over at Weiss oblivious to the annoyance.

"Stop."

"Make me."

"Child."

"Princess."

"Degenerate."

"Spoiled brat."

"Scum."

"Corrupt heiress."

"YOU-"

"Girls I can hear everything in the printing room. Please stop." As Ozpin reentered the room he handed over their contracts.

Ruby went straight to the signature line and wrote down her signature. Ruby glanced over at Weiss and noticed that she was reading every word before signing.

"Ozpin isn't a prince from a foreign country trying to get your credit card information." Ruby deadpanned.

Ozpin gave a quiet chuckle while Weiss looked up in surprise. "R-right, force of habit."

"There nothing wrong with that Ms. Schnee, in fact, Ruby here's the real contract." Ozpin wiggled the paper right in front of Ruby's face keeping a devilish smirk on his face.

Ruby looked up in surprise and went to look at the paper she just signed.

'I Ruby Rose am a fool for signing without reading the contract first

Ozpin is a genius for knowing that Ruby wouldn't read the contract first and then sign.'

"Ozpin you just broke our trust." Ruby dramatically put her hand to her heart.

"Ruby take this as a life lesson. You can't always trust adults." Ozpin had a more serious look on his face. Ruby was surprised by his sudden tone but before she could question it Weiss spoke up.

"Ozpin it says that once a month we have to bond outside of school."

"Oh yes just to make sure you guys get along better. Is that a problem."

"No." Weiss frowned when she answered Ozpin, Ruby felt a little sorry for Weiss, she was probably busy but just said yes because she doesn't have a choice.

Wanting to distract herself from the sad heiress, Ruby asked for the real contract.

Ozpin smiled again and handed over the real contract. Ruby cautiously read it over making sure it was real. After inspecting it and seeing that it was the real contract, she signed her name on the line below.

"Perfect. Now you both may go to class." Ozpin stood by the door hurrying the girls out, once they did make it out, he immediately slammed the door behind them.

"Okay, that was weird." Weiss said looking at the door.

"Oz is weird sometimes; you get used to it. Anyway, lets head to class."

They spent the next few moments in silence until Ruby spoke up.

"So…how's this gonna work, we go shopping, get our nails done, and talk about cute boys?" Ruby looked over at Weiss. "Or cute girls."

Weiss looked up at Ruby. "So you are dating Blake."

Ruby facepalmed. If one more person asks her that she's going to break their nose. "No, I'm not, I don't know your taste so I'm just saying."

Weiss simply hummed her reply as they approached the classroom. Upon entering the whole class looked up at them.

"I see you're not suspended, take your seats and get to know each other like civilized people."

Ruby saluted Ms. Goodwitch and head for the back seat. As she walked by Blake high fived her as soon as they're hands made contact Ruby felt a piece of paper in her hand. Ruby gave Blake a sideways glance and continued forward.

As soon as she sat down, she quickly looked at the note

'Meet me ASAP'

Ruby looked back at Blake who was looking at her, Ruby nodded her head yes and looked away.

"What kind of secret communication are you two having." Weiss was looking between the two girls her eyes full of curiosity.

"Just the usual love bird stuff." Ruby teased not wanting to give away details.

"Right, so Ruby what's your favorite movie?" Weiss wasted no time trying to get to know her.

"Anything with superhero's" Ruby gave a short reply. "What about you?"

"I've never watched a movie...unless documentaries count."

Ruby looked at Weiss like she was a foreign creature. "No, hearing you say that makes me depressed."

Weiss put on a haughty air around her. "They're interesting and fun, it's also all real. Not some fake computer effect."

Ruby decided to ask the next question before they started to fight again. "Next question, favorite kind of food. I love cookies."

Weiss gave a short reply this time. "Coffee."

Ruby hesitated to continue asking questions, thankfully the bell rang and it was time to go to their individual classes. Ruby instantly stood up leaving the classroom, she didn't get far when she heard a sudden commotion behind her. She turned around to see the Cardin Winchester (the biggest dick in the world) push Velvet over. I'M GOING TO END HIM!

Ruby quickly rushed over to Velvet and picked her up, Coco was already up in Cardin's face.

"Cardin…fuck off already." Coco's voice was low but dangerous.

Cardin simply smirked and whistled calling in three other boys.

Ruby looked at them. "I didn't know the Three Stooges were in town, its so nice that you brought them Cardin." Ruby was now standing with Blake beside her and Velvet behind them.

"Cardin bullying others is a dick move ya know." Yang was now standing by Ruby looking down at him.

Everyone was prepared to fight Cardin until a familiar voice spoke up behind them.

"What company does your father own; I just need a reminder Cardin." Weiss stood with Velvet dusting off her clothes. She looked up at him with the iciest glare. If glares could kill Weiss would be a mass murder.

Cardin looked more hesitant now, he slowly walked backward with the other three boys. "Whatever." Cardin turned around and walked away embarrassed.

Velvet looked up with mix emotions on her face. "Thank you for helping me…again, I'm so sorry to bother you guys like this." Velvet looked down at the floor and sniffled a bit.

"Velvet, we're always happy to help don't apologize because some asshole won't leave you alone." Ruby looked at her smiled, everyone around her nodding their heads in agreement with Ruby's statement. Although I mainly use you to see who might cause trouble for the organization.

"Okay, let me treat all of you to lunch later." Velvet was now smiling at all of them. Ruby smiled back at her, the bell going off not moment later.

"See ya later Velvet." Ruby took off to her next class hoping to make it in time. To her surprise she was one of the first in the class. She looked around the empty classroom and saw Weiss sitting in the front. Guess I'm stuck with her.

"So why did you step in earlier? You don't really look like the kind to help people." Ruby plopped herself down next Weiss.

Weiss rolled her eyes but moved her chair over a bit for Ruby. "I need you for information, you can't get expelled yet. Also, Cardin is scum and should properly be put in his place." Weiss looked Ruby straight in the eyes now. "And you shouldn't assume things about people."

Ruby smiled a bit. "Hehe, your kind of nice aren't you."

Weiss frowned but didn't deny the claim. "Ruby, why are like that?"

Ruby blinked her confusion must have been clear because Weiss continued her sentence.

"Your moods switch easily, it's a bit…puzzling."

Ruby blinked again, she had the answer but the sound of a classroom door stopped her from saying any more.

"Hello." Ozpin was now standing in front of them "before you ask this is a special elective just for you two." Ozpin mutter another sentence out loud. "…but it seems you two are getting along better than before."

Ruby was feeling shocked again. This is happening a lot today. "Why do we have a special class."

"I had a feeling you two weren't going to get along, so I'm forcing you to spend more time together."

Weiss sighed. "I thought that last sentence sounded strange. I should've questioned you more about that."

Ozpin wore a mischievous smile. "Whatever do you mean Ms. Schnee."

"Spend quality time in your class. You see I thought it was weird for you to put class instead of classes."

"Well then shall we get started? In this class you two will get to bond and know each other, I'll only force you two hang out on Mondays and Fridays, the other days you can use this class as a study hall."

Ruby didn't mind having study hall for three out of the five days, this meant she could do her homework on time.

Ozpin moved towards the chalkboard in the front of the class putting on a devilish grin he continued. "Now then let's get started."

Almost an hour later Ruby found herself collapsed on the floor exhausted from all of the trust exercises Ozpin made them do. She looked over to her left to find an equally drained Weiss in her chair. Hearing the bell ring was a sign that her misery was now over. Ruby got up off the floor and looked at an entertained Ozpin.

"Is this fun to you?" Ruby said devoid of all emotion.

"No of course not, hurry along to your next class girls."

Ruby got up from the floor, collected her things and carried on with her day. Nothing interesting happened, she had a few strange teachers and all of the other top ten students were in all of her classes so far except for her special class with Weiss.

Lunchtime soon arrived. Ruby went and found Blake and sat down.

"Hey, what do you want to talk about?" Ruby looked over at Blake concern filling her eyes.

"Nothing serious and no it's not Adam. Here it's a note from Junior.

Ruby gave Blake a puzzled look before reading the note.

'The Road is long, the road is hard'

'But very soon you'll find the stars'

Ruby looked down sadness taking over. "Oh…thanks for the note I guess."

"I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just that you were already upset and-"

"It's okay. Now for some more serious matters." Ruby was now looking down into her food her voice coming out in a fast whisper. "Adam is stalking us and Weiss knows I'm the Red Reaper."

Blake blinked a few times slowly but surely shock was spreading across her face. "WHAT?!"

It was one of the few times Blake ever rose her voice, quite a few people were looking over at them.

"There's no need to yell." Weiss was walking to them with Yang beside her. Velvet and Coco close behind.

Yang smiled at the two. "What's up Blake. Ruby."

Blake went into her backpack and took out her book already ignoring everyone sitting down.

"Well that's not fair." Ruby whispered to Blake.

Blake glared clearly not amused by Ruby's joke.

"Ruby I didn't see you earlier you know to pay for your lunch so I got you 15 cookies." Velvet hand over a brown paper baggie. "And for you Blake two tuna sandwiches."

Blake looked up hunger filling her eyes. "You're an angel Velvet."

Velvet gave them a small smile cheek's turning red. "It's just a small token of my gratitude."

Ruby started to devour the cookies that Velvet brought her but stopped when a certain someone looked at her.

"Do you even stop to chew." Weiss asked her face turning green.

Yang elbowed Weiss. "If you think that's bad look at Blake." All the girls turned their attention to Blake who looked like a panther starved for three weeks and was just given this meal.

"I would stop staring if I were you, last time I stared at her she hissed at me." Ruby shuddered at the mere thought of the memory.

The bell rang and the went to the rest of their class, the week went on like that, Blake and Ruby having to sit around and eat lunch with the school's princess and jock. Although they rarely talk the people around them started to gossip as to why the school delinquents started hanging out with the more…socially accepted kids in school.

Word was getting around and none of it was good.
