Sorry it took me so long to update I lost track of time and needed to time to figure out how the story will progress and also I had a lot of school to do. I hope that you continue reading my story still and I be trying to update more often.

It been a couple of days sense the red won, in the red vase the reds decided to give Ruby her own room and workbench as so she can build her equipment and weapons. Currently though she working on a rocket launcher that Simmons was using, she found out that the targeting system wasn't working so she decided to take it on herself to fix it.

"Hey Lopez, I'm gonna need the that wrench over there, Can ya get it for me" she ask the brown armor soldier as he nods and gives her a wrench that was near some old equipment that was taken apart. Ruby smiles as she continue working on, Grif comes in with a packet of Oreo and hands it to her. "Hey sis, I been wondering how is it possible that Lopez here was able to teach you how to build stuff and also time for a break.* he ask and sit down on an old couch they had.

"Huh oh he just showed me, I think I learn best by seeing, even if he 'quiet'" she giggles as if she knows something he doesn't know, she opens the packet as she eats the Oreos happily. "Ah ok, so how the nerd weapon going? Looks good as far as I can tell" he said as he looks at the rocket launcher. "Huh oh I'm not done yet, using this old stuff is sorta hard to fix it but I manage" she smiles as she gets up and goes grab a towe and cleans off the grease.

"Ah well Simmons want you to come, it seems it time for you to learn some school stuff" he saids bored as she nods as she groans, they leave her room to meet up with Simmons who had a few basic math and English workbooks. As he goes to talk to Simmons and learn about the basics Grif seems sarge grumbling from a the doorway but not interrupting them. The lazy soldiers sighs as he goes to check out what wrong with his Sargent.

"So sarge why do you seem to be angry, even more so then usually" he said knowing he might regret it, "Ah why do you care huh ya lazy bastard" the red leader said. "I'm asking because Ruby gonna notice at some point, figured I try to see what wrong" he said nonchalantly. The Sargent sighs as he tells him "Ah it just she seems to be getting along better with ya, in fact she wants to be around you, Simmons and Lopez" he explained as he sounds sad.

"Nah, it isn't like that, she just need to get to know you better. After all we had some good experience with her" he explained as he stretches and goes back to the couch. Sarge thinks hard and grumbles as just realized the orange private just made sense.

The red leader notices that Simmons got done with his lesson and tells ruby that she done for the day, she then trips on her cloak again which she does a lot. He goes to walk over to her and helps her up, "Hey uh little lady, I see that your cloak is making ya trip quite a lot. I think I can help with that." He said to the little girl as she looks confused.

"Just give me the cloak and I will fix it up so you can't trip on it any more" he explain to her as she nods nervously and hand it to him, he then rips the cloak so it now it reaches her knees. She looks startled as he wraps it around her again as she walks around a bit and notice she doesn't trip anymore.

"There we go, and when you grow we have your lazy bastard or Simmons knit it together so it grows with you eh" he said it with pride as the little girl smiles and hugs him. He looked shock at first and hugs her back as she thanks him and runs off to her room. "Well better go store the rest of this so we don't lose it" he said outloud as he goes put somewhere that he can remember.

Still sorry about the long wait and thank you for those who still supporting my story, I hope that the interaction with the characters are good. Solnyx out
