Hi Howdy ho, peoples! Here we are with chapter 48, and you may be wondering "Why 48, we just had 48" Well, I deleted the PSA from team RWBY about me being done soon. cause that's not happening soon. Also, if you guys haven't noticed yet, I'm in a 9-man collab called Room 205. It's on NobleMETA's page, and you can get all the names of who's workin on it there. It's awesome, and got some interesting pairings, so I'd go check it out! And if you don't get the title reference, you've lived a sad life...
"Ladies and Gentlemen! The first annual Xiao long/Belladonna Gambolympics is starting!"
"Ruby, what are you doing?"
"Havin fun while Yang and Blake settle a wager of some kind."
It was true Ruby was having fun, making fun of her sister and teammate. The two in question were busy arguing over their latest bet.
"Yang, for the last time, we DID NOT agree to one cheat each!"
"Well, of course not! That's why it's cheating! But we DID agree that I won that!"
"Only until I found out you cheated!"
"No take backsies!"
"SHUT IT YOU TWO!"
Weiss' booming voice had, in fact, shut them up.
"Who cares who won? This happens nearly every day around here, so why is this one so important?"
"This one is big stakes, Weiss. Loser has to do, 'that'."
"You know, that would scare me more, if I knew what 'that' was."
"Noooooo way, Weiss. Some thing's in this world are better left unheard, and some things are sacred. This is both."
"Alright then, how about this. I shall referee one bet, and make sure whoever wins, wins fairly."
"Aight, I can deal with that-"
"But this the LAST one, where, whatever 'that' is, is held as punishment. I don't want to hear anything of this anymore."
"W-wow, what a raw deal... Okay, I'm good with that..."
"Y-yeah, that works fine..."
"Alright everyone! We have ourselves a huuuuge match! And it's lookin to be a reaal slug-fest!"
"Aww, your just too cute Ruby..."
"Wait, what did I do Weiss? Weeiisss!"
A fact which, until now, had been unknown by all, was that Ruby acting professional at something is apparently Weiss' adorable trigger. So, being that Ruby was an announcer, she of course, needed to tackle her and squeeze till she made little high-pitch noises.
"... Blake, I wanna find this cute, but..."
"Yeah I know what you mean, too random."
"Alright here we are in Downtown Vale! We're setting up for the gamble of the century, and it's gonna be explosive! I'm here with my co-commentators Nora Valkyrie and Velvet Scarlettina!"
"Hi, Ruby. It's nice to be out here today I'm hoping for a-"
"It's shapin up to be a reeaaaalll slober-knocker, Ruby! I don't think I've EVER seen a bet made as big as this!"
"Quite right, Nora! Now lets head down to our boots on the ground, Jaune Arc!"
"Thanks, Ruby. So, Yang, how are you feeling about today?"
"I'm gonna win, and I'm gonna enjoy eeverry minute of 'that' later."
"Alright, now we're going to Blake Belladonna for a word. Blake, how do you feel?"
"I'm going to stick to my training, wait for her to give me an opening and strike hard and quick."
"Alright, well it looks like these two are rearing to go down here, back to you, Ruby!"
"Thanks, Jaune. It looks like we're getting started on the field!"
As Ruby had said, Blake and Yang took their positions, with Weiss in a ref outfit stepping between them.
"Alright you two, I want a good, clean bout. I'll flip this coin, you two call out heads or tails, best 12 out of 23 wins the title of luckiest member in RWBY and all of Vale, and gets to do 'that' to the loser. We clear on the rules?"
"Yes."
"Yeah, come on!"
"Alright, first toss!"
Weiss had flipped her 25 lien coin into the air with impressive height.
"Heads!"
"Heads!"
"I already called heads, Yang."
The coin fell into Weiss' hands, and the two waited impatiently for the results.
"Tails!"
"Yeah, get ready, Kitty Cat! I'm playin hard ball today!"
"Don't get too full of yourself, Yang!"
"Second toss!"
And again, the coin flew into the air.
"Heads!"
"Tails!"
"Yang, I already called heads- Oh, never mind..."
"Get on my level Belladonna!"
The coin landed, and Weiss called it.
"Heads!"
"Get on MY level, Xiao Long."
"Heh, we'll see..."
"Oh man, this is getting intense!"
"No doubt, Nora! As expected it's coming down to the wire with two pro gamblers!"
"It seems they're both in full form today, giving the crowd a great show."
"Velvet, that's just a simple way of sayin THIS SHIT IS DEEEP!"
"Alright, the score is 11/11, last throw and for the win!"
"This ends now, Yang!"
"Bring it, Blake!"
Weiss tossed her coin into the air, time seeming to slow around the area.
"Tails!"
"Heads!"
Weiss had a particularly strong throw, and it had been taking a while for it to come down. Nora had been at coin-side taking bets on the bet.
"Place ya bets! Last minute bets here!"
After a gut wrenching minute, the coin fell and Weiss called it.
"... Tails!"
The crowd was in an uproar. Blake had beaten Yang in a battle for the ages! Ruby, Nora and Velvet rushed down to see the two teammates. Yang had been in utter shock, dreading the moment they got home.
"No..."
"What was that, Yang?"
"NNNOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Yang, what's wrong?!"
"I am supposed to be the luckiest person here! How, how could I looooossee?"
"Don't worry Yang, I'll be gentle."
"Don't rub it iiinnnn!"
"How about this, Yang. Sudden death poker game."
The crowd let out a collective gasp. Blake, who had just beaten Yang with her sheer luck, has now put it on the line again.
"Fine, I accept!"
And the crowd had erupted into a riot at the thought of the rematch. Out of seemingly nowhere Weiss pulled out a poker table, deck of cards and two stools.
"Alright, since you both agreed to a rematch, we'll have one. One hand of poker, winner takes all!"
The people surrounding them were in a frenzy! This was possibly the biggest event of the year, and it just got bigger. Weiss dealt each their hands, and even started betting their own money on the game. It came down to the last card, both of them were sweating bullets at this point, but not backing down.
"Alright, show your hands."
"Two pair, and seeing as how you were freaked out the entire time, i can't see you beating me Yan-"
"Full house."
"... What?"
"I got a full house."
Everything stood silent until Ruby had burst from excitement.
"UNBELIEVABLE! Yang has beaten Blake in an all or nothing poker game, and winning the title!"
"That, was, incredible! Blake was like Pew pew baboosh and then Yang was all like Bang Bang pow Kaboom! Oh man I think I had too many energy drinks today!"
"This crowd is in an unbelievable rampage!"
What Velvet said was true, the crowd was a torrent of yells and excitement. It was truly a memorable day in the history of Vale.
"Don't worry, I'll be gentle Blake."
"So, really Yang. Are you ever going to tell us what 'that' is?"
Blake at this point, was huddled on her bed. Shock keeping her from moving an inch. Even after an hour or two of waiting, she hadn't moved a muscle.
"Do you really want to know?"
"Yeah, I kind of do."
"Well, it's-"
"Oh man that was awesome! I can't believe that!"
Nora and the rest of team JNPR had finally returned to their room, being veeeerry noisy in the process.
"How can you possibly stay up like that, Nora?"
"Oh, caffeine doesn't give me a down afterwords!"
JNPR had now cleared the hall into their room, with Ren shaking his head the entire way.
"Oh... My, lord... Yang, why?"
"EEEWWWW ewwewwewwweweweeewwewweww Yaaaaang. Just, eeeeewwwww!"
"Told ya you two didn't wanna hear that!"
Will I ever reveal of 'that'? No. No I shan't. Some things (Looking at you Cthulu, my source material) should never be said to others. I'm saving you all. You should go check out Noble, and all those other guys. Thanks for tuning in to this showing of the Gambolympics!
