A reviewer has brought to my attention that in the first chapter, I should have made Toby play it cool and not ramble on. They also mentioned that all I did was make Toby look stupid and suspicious. That was sorta my intention. Ozpin isn't stupid and would most likely check everything that Toby said, so... I just made Toby sorta tell the truth. Ozpin has his reasons for keeping Toby close at the moment.
As for playing it cool... Toby is more like that guy who tries REALLY hard to be cool and just isn't. He also isn't that good at lying. The only reason it's worked so far is that no one has really forced him into a corner.
I hope this helps show what my thought process was. And I'm really sorry that you found Toby annoying. You did bring up some good points that I think I should address later in the story so I will start working towards that.
Thank you for your review. :)
Chapter Six
School?!
My first morning starts suddenly as I hear the sound of an incredibly loud whistle coming from down the hall. Shooting up in surprise, I groan after my head collides with the top of my bunk bed. That's better than Arnold though, who not only yelped at the sound of the whistle, but also fell off of the top bunk and onto the floor.
Fighting my already emerging headache, I yawn to myself. "Morning Man. You okay?"
Arnold who is still face down in the floor responds though the floor muffles his response. "Yef."
'I guess that means yes?'
Forcing myself out of bed, I stretch as I stand and wince because I still feel incredibly sore. Sorting through what I needed to do today, something clicked in my brain.
'I have to go to school again! I fucking graduated back on Earth and I still have to go to school again!'
"Fuuuuuuuuuuucccccckkkkk..." I groan to myself.
Arnold pops his head up to look at me. "What is the matter?"
"The part of the brain I mentally repressed just remembered we have class today."
Arnold also groans before allowing his head to fall back to the floor.
'Well... I guess I should get ready.'
"Do you mind if I use the shower first?"
"Numf."
'I assume that's a no? Dude, stop talking to me through the floor.'
"Okay, thanks man." Standing up, I go to retrieve the uniform the school provided and head to the bathroom. Placing the uniform on a nearby rack used for towels, I lock the door before looking myself in the mirror. It still feels weird you know? Looking in the mirror and seeing someone who isn't me.
'Or I guess that is me now...'
I still look like the brother the writer is trying to make me. Same silver eyes and black hair with red tips. Currently I'm wearing the night clothes Ozpin provided; a loose fitting white long sleeved shirt and loose gray pants.
'I really need to remember to thank Ozpin for all the help he's giving me.'
LINEBREAK
With myself now dried and clean, I emerge from the bathroom dressed in my school uniform. I look at Arnold who is still dressed in his nightclothes, a blue short-sleeved shirt with a paw-print on it and black shorts.
"Showers free dude, enjoy. I left plenty of hot water."
Arnold gives me a thankful smile before grabbing his uniform. "Thank you my friend." He says before heading to the bathroom.
As I hear the door shut, I look around my room. Arnold got to decorating early last night so I can see a few posters for movies I've never heard of. Because of my lack of well... stuff, the only thing of mine is my backpack that is currently sitting on our work desk. A backpack that contained my Laptop, my laptop charger, some notebooks the school provided as well as pens... and for some reason a flashlight.
Speaking of the charger, I was happy to learn that Remnant still has outlets for me to plug into. I don't know the science behind it but I don't think I care. I'm just glad to have access to my large library of music.
'I should probably look into moving my music to something more portable though... Oh, that reminds me...'
There was one more thing I owned now.
Moving to the desk, I pick up the strange yet familiar device that is my new scroll. The staff gave these things to all the teams last night... Well at least to the students that didn't own one.
'Something else I owe Ozpin for.'
Opening it, I see a holographic screen appear.
'I guess I should learn how to work this thing.'
I spend several minutes playing with the scroll and I'm happy to discover that it works similarly to a phone with a touch screen. What did surprise me though, is that I already have Arnold and Ozpin's contact info on my scroll.
'He really is going the extra mile for me isn't he. I'm starting to feel kinda bad.'
The bathroom door opens as I close my scroll. Looking up, I see Arnold newly refreshed dressed in his uniform giving me a wide smile. "Are you ready for classes?"
Groaning to myself, I nod before putting my scroll in my pocket and retrieving my backpack.
"I am sure it will not be that bad my friend. It will be over before you know it."
As we step out into the hallway, Arnold uses his scroll to lock the door before we head out down the hall.
"Yeah. I guess your right. At least in school I don't have a giant fucking spider trying to kill me."
We had only managed to walk passed two dorms when I hear a voice shriek from a dorm on my left.
"It's 8:55, you dunce!"
The door slams open and Arnold and I are barely able to move out of the way of a sprinting Weiss. I see Ruby, Yang and Blake poking their heads out before another door opens to show all of Team JNPR peeking out.
Ruby looks flabbergasted before finally shouting. "To class!"
Ruby sprints down the hall, followed quickly by Yang and then Blake.
"Class...?" Jaune says in horror before losing his balance and falling. This also topples Nora, Pyrrha and Ren who fall on top of him. Somehow Jaune is able to crawl out and run after Team RWBY. "We're gonna be late!" As he runs, the rest of Team JNPR follow after him.
Arnold looks horrified. "Did she just say 8:55?"
"Son of a bitch!" I turn to Arnold. "We gotta hurry!"
We begin running after our friends and we only catch up when we reach the courtyard. As we run towards the classrooms, I happen to see Glynda and Ozpin. Glynda looks at her watch in disappointment as Ozpin just sips his coffee.
Waving at Ozpin, I shout. "I promise I won't make a habit of this!"
Ozpin just smiles and continues to drink his coffee.
LINEBREAK
We made it to class just before the bell and collectively sighed in relief. Well, at least after we all panted in attempts to catch our breath. Looking up, I saw that we had found ourselves in the class of Dr. Bartholomew Oobleck; who was looking at us with a frown.
"Ah... Team's RWBY, JNPR and AT..." He pushed up his glasses before taking a sip of his coffee. "Nice of you to join us! Now if you will please find your seats, we can get this lesson started."
In a panic, Teams RWBY and JNPR ran to the only empty seats left. You know, their canon seats. Arnold and I looked at the only remaining seats in rising dread as we maneuvered our way to them. Why? Because these seat's were directly behind Cardin Fucking Winchester.
"Are you fucking kidding?!" As I took my seat, I glared at the table while pretending it was the writer of this shitty fic. 'Why are you shoving Cardin down my throat?! Do you like seeing me pissed or something?!'
Cardin sneers at us before turning his attentions back to the front of the class, where Oobleck has begun speedily writing something on the whiteboard. Glaring at Cardin head in response I put my backpack down at my feet before turning to Arnold and seeing him shaking slightly as he looks at Cardin in fear.
'Oh yeah... Arnold did mention Cardin's been picking on him for a while...'
Putting a calming hand on Arnold's arm, he jumps slightly before looking at me. "Yes?"
Getting closer I whisper. "Calm down man. He's not gonna try any shit. I won't let him. Just focus on class."
Arnold seems hesitant but nods anyway before taking a calming breath and looking towards the front. Removing my arm, I move back into my seat and also looking ahead.
Oobleck seemingly dashes away, without moving his legs I might add, from the whiteboard and I see "The Great War" written in black ink.
"The first subject we will be covering is fairly recent! A terrible war that lasted ten very long years... However, before we can study the war itself, we must first examine the century before! A tension filled time that exploded into what is now know as... The Great War!"
'Oh shit, I'm gonna need notes!'
Zipping open my backpack, I grabbed a random notebook and pen and shorthanded a quick sentence.
The Great War- Ten years
Looking back up, I see that Oobleck has once again moved to the whiteboard and quickly wrote down the phrase Mistral.
'Isn't that a country or something?'
It turned out I wasn't far off and felt myself smile. I think I was gonna like this class. I always had a knack for history growing up and I feel really glad to be starting the day on a relative high note.
Despite the fact that I was almost late for class and that I most likely would have to sit behind Cardin from now on...
'Well... for this class anyway.'
…
'Holy Crap is that Velvet?'
LINEBREAK
After lunch, the next class was Professor Peach's class... Well at least... I think it's his or hers class, The sign on the door said it and everything! However as we take our seats, Team RWBY on the first row followed by Team JNPR on the next and then Arnold and I as well as a few other students... The one standing at the front of the class was none other than Glynda Goodwitch.
'My memory of this show may not be picture perfect but... doesn't she teach combat?'
Once all the students had taken their seats, the school bell assaulted our ears. Once the accursed thing shut up, Glynda cleared her throat.
"It seems Professor Peach has somehow managed become sick on our first day." Glynda said with obvious annoyance. "So I shall be teaching this class for awhile, as well as Combat Training next period. So lets just move on shall we?"
After doing a quick role-call, I watch as Glynda moves to the whiteboard before writing "Dust" in black marker.
'Oh cool! I've been wondering how that shit works!'
"Now..." Glynda says. "Who can tell me the four basic types of Dust?"
'Holy shit! A question I actually know!'
Several hands shoot up. The most notable being Weiss, Ruby, Arnold and my own. Arnold looks at me in confusion and I smile at him and mouth "I actually know the answer!". In response, Arnold chuckles before dropping his hand.
'I guess he decided to humor me.'
Glynda scans the class before her eyes land on me, she seems slightly surprised though I guess that just means she heard about my 'Doesn't remember anything' excuse.
"Mr. Lawliet?" she calls before folding her arms impatiently.
I am unable to keep the excitement of my face as I respond. "The four main types are Wind, Fire, Water and Lightning!"
Glynda seems amused by my excitement and I swear I see a ghost of a smile on her face. "Correct." She says before she begins to write the four down on the whiteboard. Finished, she turns back to the class. "And who can tell me the two states that Dust is commonly found in?"
Weiss raises her hand immediately.
"Mrs. Schnee?"
"Crystalline and Powdered." Weiss states like it's common knowledge.
'As far as I know, it probably is...I'm gonna need another notebook.'
LINEBREAK
Now it was time for the class that I didn't know I was dreading until I was already here...
Combat Class...
'Fuck me running, I'm still sore dammit.'
Much to my surprise, the class was going to be held in the same place we were assigned our teams. Which... honestly makes sense when I think about it.
At the moment all us student are just standing in front of the stage watching Glynda who is on the stage. We watch as she types several things in her scroll before looking down at us.
"Today we will be simply going through several combat scenario's. Tomorrow, the real work begins."
I sigh to myself silently before smiling.
'Don't think I didn't see that bone you just threw me writer type person. Metaphorical fist bump.'
LINEBREAK
Finally we were in Professor Port's classroom. Team RWBY and Team JNPR ended up in their original spots and I was pleasantly surprised to see Arnold and I were sitting in the row directly behind Team RWBY.
Looking at the boards in front of the class, I saw illustrations of several Grimm. The ones I could recognize being the Death Stalker, Beowolf, Boarbatusk and the Ursa.
'I don't see any Widow's though.'
I am pulled out of my thought as Port begins his lecture.
"Monsters! Deeeemons... Prowlers of the night! Yes, the creatures of Grimm have many names, but I merely refer to them as prey! Ha-ha!"
'I swear I can literally hear the cricket that makes sounds when a joke isn't funny.'
After some silence, Port continues. "Uhhhh... And you shall too, upon graduating from this prestigious academy! Now as I was saying: Vale, as well as the other three kingdoms, are safe havens in an otherwise treacherous world! Our planet is absolutely teeming with creatures that would like nothing more to tear you to pieces! And that's where we come in. Huntsmen! Huntresses..." I watch Port give Yang a wink and I hear her groan uncomfortably.
'Okay, that is not cool. This guy is a teacher?'
Port continues. "Individuals who have sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves! From what you ask? Why, the very world!"
A student in the back of the class cheers and everyone, including myself, turn to stare at him. He seems to have stood and victoriously risen his fist in the air. After awhile, he sits back down embarrassed and the class looks back to Professor Port.
Port continues with the lesson. "That is what you are training to become. But first: A story. A tale of a young and handsome man... Me!"
'...What?'
"When I was a boy-"
I watch as Port manages to tell a story in a way that is so boring that I almost seriously consider banging my head into something sharp just to end the pain.
'So... boring... How can a story about killing Grimm be so... boring...'
I hear Ruby snicker and look down a row and see her holding a badly drawn sketch of Professor Port. Only it has stink lines coming out of him and Ruby has named him 'Professor Poop'. She shows it to her teammates first and I hear Yang and Blake laughing. Ruby then turns very excitedly and shows it to me and Arnold.
Looking at it again, I smile and give Ruby a raised eyebrow as Arnold starts to laugh.
Port sees us laughing and clears his throat in irritation. Once he is sure he has everyone's attention again he continues with his story.
"In the end, the Beowolf was no match for my sheer tenacity and I returned to my village with my head held high, celebrated as a hero!" Port takes a bow.
'Kill me now...'
As Port moves back to his standing position, he continues the lesson. "The moral of this story? A true Huntsman must be honorable! A true Huntsman must be dependable! A true Huntsman must be strategic, well-educated and wise!"
'Well-educated and wise? Well fuck, I may as well leave right now then. I barely even passed High School.'
Port continues. "So, who among you believes themselves to be the embodiment of these traits?"
Suddenly, Weiss raises her hand and Arnold, who is right behind her, has to lean back to not get hit. "I do, sir!"
'Oh shit... Weiss's leader envy.'
Port turns to gesture at a cage at the very left side of the front of the classroom. "Well then, let's find out! Step forward, and face your opponent!"
'How long has that fucking thing been there?! I swear that wasn't there before!'
Looking around though, no one seems to be surprised by the cage so... I guess I just managed to not notice a GIANT FUCKING CAGE...
'But still...'
Weiss leaves to retrieve her equipment and I lean over to Arnold.
"Hey man... Has that cage been here the whole time?"
Arnold gave me a curious look. "I believe so. Why?"
'Oh. I think this is what Matt would have called "failing a spot check"...'
"Nevermind. Guess I'm just a little unobservant."
After awhile, I hear Ruby giggling and Arnold and I look and see her drawing something else. Whatever it is must be hilarious because she just can't seem to stop laughing. I see Yang lean over to see what she drew before she too starts laughing.
"I don't think Uncle Qrow would appreciate that!" Yang says as she continues laughing. "I think I might need to take a picture and send it to him!"
Ruby immediately gasps before ripping apart as fast as possible. So the air is soon filled with paper shreds and rose petals.
'Does she really need her Semblance for that?'
Ruby points at Yang. "You saw nothing, you have no proof! Nothing!"
Hearing Blake sigh, I turn and see her wiping rose petals off of the book she was reading. Squinting, I see that she was still on The Hobbit; though she was fairly close to the ending.
'Here's hoping that Blake isn't opposed to nerdy discussions about the books she reads. It's been awhile since I could dork out over Middle- Earth stuff.'
Finally after several more minutes, Weiss returns dressed in her battle attire. Getting in position, she readies Myrtenaster as Professor Port retrieves his... Blunderbuss...Axe...Thing? It was literally a Blunderbuss with the Axe blades on the guns grip.
'How can he even fire that thing?'
Port moves to the cage and I hear the Grimm inside begin to growl.
Yang raises her fist in the air. "Go, Weiss!"
Blake who has not only put away her book but somehow spontaneously produced and begun waving a small flag that has 'RWBY' on both sides. "Fight well!"
'Where the fuck did she even get that?'
"Yeah! Represent Team RWBY!" cheers Ruby as she throws her arms into the air.
Weiss lowers her rapier before giving Ruby a minor glare. "Ruby! I'm trying to focus!"
I see Ruby lower in her seat somewhat. "Oh, um... sorry."
Port clears his throat before holding his Axe thingy aloft. "Alright! Let the match... begin!"
Port swings his Axe down and breaks the lock, dropping the cage door and showing the class the Boarbatusk inside. Immediately, it charges at Weiss who in turn uses her rapier to deflect it's attack before rolling to the side. As she readies herself for it's next attack, I see the Grimm standing a distance away as it studies her.
"Ha-ha! Wasn't expecting that, were you?"
"I can assure you Mr. Port, at least one person in this room was expecting that very thing exactly."
"Hang in there, Weiss!" Ruby cheers.
Weiss speeds at the Boarbatusk and it in turn charges at her. Weiss stabs for it's face and the rapier is unfortunately caught in the Grimm's tusks. Weiss grimaces as she holds on to the hilt tightly and struggles to free her weapon.
"Bold new approach! I like it!" Port comments.
Ruby cheers again. "Come on Weiss, show it who's boss!"
Weiss turns to glare at Ruby and the Grimm reacts immediately. Turning it's head, it rips the rapier from Weiss's arms. I feel myself tense as her weapon lands far away from Weiss.
'Did this happen before? Or is this different?'
"Oh-ho! Now what will you do without your weapon?' Port calls.
The Boarbatusk charges again and Weiss rolls out of it's path; causing the Grimm to crash into an empty desk. Immediately Weiss rushes back to her rapier and slides to get it back in her hand. I feel myself let out a breath I didn't know I had been holding.
"Weiss!" Ruby calls. "Go for it's belly! There's no armor underneath-"
Weiss turns before cutting Ruby off. "Stop telling me what to do!"
I see Ruby sink into her seat again and feel a tinge of sympathy before the fight draws my attention. The Boarbatusk leaps into the air and rolls into a ball, spinning rapidly in the air before it lands on the ground. The speed of it's spin propelling it like Sonic the fucking Hedgehog towards Weiss. Just as it about to hit her, Weiss summons a blueish glyph to block it's roll. Through clever use of the glyphs, she launches herself before stabbing the rapier into the Boarbatusk stomach and the Grimm squeals before dying.
"Bravo!" Port congratulates. "Bra-vo! It appears we are indeed in the presence of a true Huntress-in-training!" I see Weiss stand up in attention as Port continues. "I'm afraid that's all the time we have for today. Be sure to cover the assigned readings and... stay vigilant!"
'Wait... what assigned readings?!'
"Class dismissed!"
Weiss glares at Ruby one last time before walking hurriedly passed her teammates and exits the classroom.
"Sheesh, what's with her." I hear Jaune ask from JNPR's table.
Team RWBY looks at one another in confusion before Ruby quickly stands to run after Weiss.
'Should I go after her? I mean, if everything goes the way I remember it... then they should be fine.'
'…'
'But then again... the writer does have a tendency to change some shit so... just in case...'
Patting Arnold's arm to get his attention, I begin to leave my seat. "Hey, can you do me a favor and ask Port what the assigned reading is for me?"
Arnold nods before giving me a questioning look. "What are you going to do?"
I shrug. "Gonna see what activated the Weiss bomb and then see if I can play peacemaker between the two of them again."
Arnold nods then tilts his head. "Again?"
"Tell you later." I say as I pass a confused Blake and Yang before exiting the classroom and jogging down the hallway the direction I saw Ruby go.
LINEBREAK
I'd only been jogging for several seconds before I heard Ruby scoff. "What did I do?"
Turning the corner, I see the form of Ruby Rose and Weiss Schnee.
"That's just it- you've done nothing to earn your position! Back in the forest, you acted like a child and you've only continued to do so!"
'Okay no...'
Walking up to them I let out a retort. "Ozpin wouldn't have let her in if she had done nothing. The fact she's here should speak volumes Weiss."
They turn to me surprise before Weiss glares at me. "This doesn't concern you."
I glare back. "Ruby's my friend and so are you Weiss. I think this does concern me."
Before Weiss can respond I hear Ruby speak. "Weiss, where is this coming from? What happened to all the talk about 'working together'? I thought you believed in acting as a team?"
Weiss's eyes are icy. "Not a team lead by you. I've studied and trained. And quite frankly, I deserve better." Weiss turns her back to Ruby and begins to walk away. Ruby reaches out her hand to the heiress before she says something that causes Ruby to drop her arm.
"Ozpin made a mistake."
I watch Weiss leave before mumbling to myself. "You're the one being childish..."
Looking at Ruby, she looks to be on the verge of tears and I rack my brain for something to say to her.
Until a voice speaks from behind us. "Hmm... Now that didn't seem to go very well."
Ruby and I turn and see none other than Ozpin.
"Is she right?" Ruby asks immediately. "Did you make a mistake?"
Ozpin laughs to himself slightly before looking between Ruby and I. "That remains to be seen."
'...I'm not sure that I like the implied double meaning behind that.'
Ruby looks curious. "What do you mean?"
Ozpin gives Ruby a friendly smile. "I mean, it's only been one day. Ruby... I've made more mistakes than any man, woman, and child on this planet."
The voice rings in my head again. 'No doubt...'
'What the fuck?!'
Trying to act like nothing happened I continue to listen to Ozpin. "-at this moment, I would not consider your appointment to leader to be one of them." Ozpin leans closer to Ruby. "Do you?"
Ruby seems at a loss for words.
Ozpin continues. "Being a team leader isn't just a title you carry into battle, but a badge you wear constantly. If you're not always performing at your absolute best, then what reasons do you give others to follow you?"
Something about that causes Ruby to look thoughtful. Then after a couple seconds, she looks up at Ozpin with a smile.
Smiling to himself, Ozpin turns and begins to walk away. "You've been burdened with a daunting responsibility, Ruby. I advise you take some time, to think about how you will uphold it."
Ruby looks like she's pondering something before she turns to follow after Weiss. She walks several steps before stopping and looking at me. She still seems hesitant.
Smiling at the little reaper, I fold my arms. "It'll be fine Little Red. Go after her."
Ruby looks conflicted for several seconds before nodding and heading after Weiss with a new determination. Smiling to myself, I head the direction Ozpin went.
'If this goes the way I remember... then I don't think I'll really be needed. It seems everything is mostly going according to canon at the moment... So I guess I'll-'
My thoughts are stopped by the sound of my stomach growling.
'- head to the cafeteria for dinner. Hopefully Arnold asked Port about the assigned readings and I can just ask him about it over dinner.'
LINEBREAK
Heading to our table, I gaze happily at my plate of food. I felt like something simple tonight so I grabbed the ingredients for a Ham Sandwich, an Apple and some Grapes. I seem to of gained a new appreciation for fruit. I don't know why it's just... everything seemed a little fresher here.
Before I could even sit down, Yang asked me the questions on the entire tables minds.
"What happened with Weiss back there? And where are they?"
Everyone's eyes are on me as I sit down and honestly it's a bit uncomfortable. "Weiss doesn't understand why Ozpin would pick Ruby instead of herself to lead Team RWBY. So she's a little steamed."
That seems to be enough info for Blake, who turns away and continues read her book. Yang however sighs in irritation before speaking again. "So... where are they?"
"I don't know. Ozpin gave Ruby some advice and she went after Weiss. From the looks of it... It looks like Ruby has the entire situation under control."
Yang smiles with what I can best describe as sisterly pride. "You go little sis!
Laughing a bit, I turn to Arnold. "Hey, did you ask Port about the reading?
Arnold nods before giving me a kind smile. "Indeed I did. Before we return to our dorm tonight, we must stop by the library and pick up a book titled-" Arnold stops and pulls a piece of paper from his pocket. "- The Huntsman's Guide to Grimm Slaying."
I nod and watch as he returns the paper to his pocket. "Thanks for asking man. I'm sorry I ran out like that."
Arnold shakes his head. "It is fine. I needed to ask as well. It seems he mentioned it in passing during his story about himself."
Suddenly, Jaune leans in between us. "Wait, what was that about assigned reading?"
Laughing to myself, I smile as Arnold helps the leader of Team JNPR. Taking a bite of my apple, I find myself looking at our tables two empty seats.
'Did they have dinner during this episode off screen? If I remember correctly, Ruby falls asleep studying and Weiss just gets coffee...'
"Hey, I'll be right back. I need to get something from the kitchen before it closes."
LINEBREAK
That night, I force myself to stay up until I hear footsteps passing my dorm. Grabbing the two food filled paper bags from the mini-fridge, I open my door and pop my head out only to see Weiss entering her dorm. Moving out into the hallway, I close my door and wait for Weiss to return.
'If this follows what I remember, then she should.'
After about two minutes I see team RWBY's dorm room open Weiss half-way step out.
"Hey, Ruby"
"Uh huh?"
"I always wanted bunk beds as a kid." She says as she closes the door. She turns before jumping slightly at the sight of me waiting outside my door.
"Good afternoon." She says awkwardly.
"Likewise," I say. "Come here for a sec."
Weiss seems to wince slightly before walking over. "I am sorry for snapping at you earlier. I was out of line."
'Does she think I'm mad?'
Shaking my head, I give her a curious look. "Have you had dinner tonight?"
Weiss seems confused. "Um... no. Why?"
"Has Ruby eaten anything?"
Weiss shakes her head. "I don't know. Once again, I must ask. Why?"
Holding out the paper bags, I explain. "I got some dinner for you guys just in case. I don't really know what you liked so In just got some fruit and some water. Ruby was easy, I just got her some milk and cookies. I know it's not much of a dinner... but I figured it was better than going to bed hungry."
Weiss take's the bags with a curious look. "Why not just give these to my teammates? Instead of staying up waiting for me?"
I give Weiss a smile. "Because I didn't want to go to bed without fixing things with one of my friends. So... we good?"
Weiss nods with a smile. "Of course. Thank you for this."
I smile in response before opening my door. "And on that note, I think I'll be going to bed. Goodnight Weiss."
"Goodnight Toby." Weiss says before she moves to... wherever it was she was going originally.
'Finally, now I can freaking change and go to bed. Weiss did have a point though... Why didn't I just give the bags to Yang and tell her to say it was an apology?'
'…'
'Well, that's about right. God forbid I use my common sense.'
END OF CHAPTER SIX
Okay, so I've altered the ending. I just wasn't satisfied with it... So I hope this is better.
A reviewer pointed out that a lot of OC inserts have friends named Matt. And while Matt's name is somewhat based on my best friend in Real Life...
It got me laughing because I thought of a scenario where like this one guy named Matt is best friends with a bunch of random people who just keep disappearing because they all get sucked into different universes and stuff.
In short, Matt is cursed. :)
