Hey there folks! We've got chapter 46 here, and I'm struggling for internet! Yes, this time I actually am having internet troubles, since in a few days my ISP will be shutting down service here, leaving me without internet. If any of you live in North Las Vegas, you might know my plight, but it sucks so bad. So I'm trying to rush this one out, so I have something posted before my internet's inevitable demise. Sorry for how late it is... Wow that's a long A/N, sorry. here's some RWBY for your troubles...
"Ugh, oh man. Waaaay too much to drink last night..."
"K-keep it down Yang. I have a splitting headache. I always drink too much when we're out anymore."
"Jeez, what the hell did we do last night?"
"I'll tell you what you guys did last night. You guys got so drunk me and Ruby had to almost carry you both home!"
Weiss had entered the conversation before Blake could respond. Although, thinking hurt, so it would've been a while before they got an answer anyways.
"Ack! Weiss! please... It hurts."
"I mean, I kind of expect Yang to get drunk like that, but you too Blake?"
"I have a surprisingly low tolerance, and Yang knows it."
"Well if you both know that then why do you keep doing this?"
"Well, Yang exploits it alot, and I just go along with Yang Everywhere. I'll admit, I really should do something about it, but... Yang can be very convincing."
"Well, as long as you two still have Ruby's engagement ring, we're good."
"uh... What?"
"You don't remember last night?! It was one of the few times I let Ruby and myself go even a little over our limits! But I remember Ruby handing it to Yang for some reason, and that's it! And that was all BEFORE you started drinking!"
"O-oh, um, w-well I'm sure we still..."
"If you guys somehow lost it, I, will lose it! We may have made a bad decision when we were drunk, but you two knew what was going on! Look, just, please find it."
"Don't worry, Weiss. I'll make sure we get it back to you, and I wont let Yang rest until we do."
"Well, thanks Blake... I'm going to go get Ruby some tea, she'll need it when she wakes up."
And with that, Weiss left for Ruby's tea. To which the redhead was grateful.
"Shit shit shit... Yang, we have to find that ring!"
"Yeah, yea... I'll, get right... on... Tha.."
"YANG! Don't you fall asleep on me! You need to help me!"
"Alright alright I'm up. What do we gotta do again?"
"Ugh..."
"Alright, we'll retrace our steps, starting at the beginning."
"Good idea, Kitty Cat! You're so smart and gorgeous and sexy-"
"Flattery will only get you so far, Yang."
They had just entered Junior's club, hoping to either find it there or remember something from the night before.
"Okay really? You were just here last night! What is it that you people have against me? You constantly break my shit, you hurt my business, and I put a smile on my face every night and serve you like normal customers! Can't you at least spare me one day?"
Blake hadn't been prepared for Junior to go off like that. In hindsight though, Yang and her had been a bit too cruel to the poor bartender.
"W-well we aren't actually here for a drink, Junior. We were hoping you had seen a ring last night, or at least remember what we did."
"Sigh All I saw was you're redheaded friend handing you a real expensive looking ring, and you putting it in your pocket."
"Well, I emptied my pockets already! So anythin else you can tell us?"
"Not you, Blondie! She gave it to tall, dark and introverted here. Probably because she knew you would lose it."
This may not have been directly useful, but it did change things. Now they needed to think about what Blake would do with it.
"Alright, well, thank you Junior. Don't worry, I'll make sure to try and keep Yang on a shorter leash as far as your club goes."
The two headed to the door, but Yang stopped a foot away.
"Oh, by the way, why don't you ever call us by name? You obviously know who we are, so what's with the weird nicknames?"
"It's just how I roll, Blondie."
"I can respect that..."
"Damnit! That's the last place I would put something like that! So, at least we know it's not here in the room."
"Well, if it's not here, and not at Junior's, then where the hell would we have gone?"
Blake kept mulling over every possibility, for any chance they might have gone there. After another minute of this, she came to a realization.
"I have a bad feeling I know where we went..."
"Where?"
"Gambling, that's where."
"Damn! How could I have known that conditioning you in your drunken state to go gambling on the weekends could bite me in the ass?!"
Luckily for them, it wasn't a far walk from their drop-off point to their regular gambling establishment.
"Yo Bobby!"
"Hey Yang! Comin to make yer money back?"
"Just how much did I lose last night?"
"Bout 1000 lien, and you gave up some ring fer a poker game."
"What table?"
"That one over yonder. Hope ya win it back, seemed real expensive."
Yang's friendly neighborhood Blackjack dealer had pointed her in the direction of a poker table. It was almost completely open, save for one large boy and his friends crowding around his seat.
"Cardin?"
"Oh, it's you. You two come back to lose more?"
"No, we came back for the ring we put up yesterday!"
"Well, too bad, I won it, fair and square."
"Why would you even want something like that?"
"... I have odd tastes okay!?"
"Well, whatever, We're gonna win back that ring, and you're gonna be cryin your way home!"
"If you want to try for it, go ahead!"
"Alright then! Blake go git em!"
Blake, the proud gambler she was, wouldn't back down from this. Such a challenge could never be declined! So she took her seat and started the game. They both put 500 lien on the table, and whoever ran out first, lost. They went back and forth with their hands, both fighting like there was a war being waged. it eventually came down to one last hand, and an all or nothing bet.
"This is the last hand, you confident enough?"
"Please, you wont intimidate me out of my win."
It all came to the last card played by the dealer, a diamond ace. This was up with another ace, a king, a jack and two 2's.
"You don't have this, Belladonna!"
"You're going to be eating those words, Winchester!"
"Oh yeah, well I can you trump three kings?"
Blake put on a shocked look, before changing into a smirk.
"Pocket Aces. Now I want that ring back."
They left the table, with Cardin crying in the corner.
"Hey, what did you two do? did you guys find it?"
"Sure thing princess! See, we wouldn't lose something so important!"
That was a lie, and Weiss knew it.
"I'm sorry I wasn't more responsible with it, Weiss. But I made sure we found it."
"Thank you, Blake. But Ruby didn't give it to you, so it's more of Yang's fault."
"But when we went to Junior, he said I was the one Ruby gave it to..."
Ruby had just entered the room, excitedly bouncing in.
"I found it! You guys can stop looking now!"
"Wait a minute. How can there be two..."
At that moment, Nora and Ren burst into the room. The hyperactive hammer hero (Nora came up with the name after Halloween) marched up to Blake, snatched the ring out of her hand.
"I'll take that back now! Good day sirs, I SAID GOOD DAY!"
With that, Nora left with a hafrumph!
"Sorry about all that, you guys..."
Ren's apology was the only thing said, even after they left, for a good five minutes.
"Okay, does someone want to explain what the shit just happened?"
"I, honestly don't know..."
There was another air of silence for another few minutes, before Weiss started again.
"I'll go talk to them about it... But, I really don't think I will get answers immediately, so maybe some other time..."
"I agree with Weiss. This is just, too weird... I'm going to sleep."
"I'll join ya Kitty Cat."
"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea."
"Well, if you're getting some sleep, Weiss, so will I!"
Meanwhile, in the Nora cave
"And they'll never suspect a thing!"
"What are you talking about, Nora?"
"... Something."
"Well, I have some pancakes sitting out for you, I'm going to get some sleep."
"Good, good..."
I have honestly no goddamn idea what happened at the end there. It just, kinda happened... Also, got to watch the newest episode today, and I think RT realizes Whiterose is the future! Weiss now most likely hates Neptune's guts, and that opens the door to Whiterose lovins! If you liked this randomness or you support the Ruby/Weiss future, please follow/fav and drop a review, and I will see you all in the next installment. WhiteRose 2016! Byee!
