Noras Birthday: Chapter 3
Nora ran down the halls turning and winding through the school trying to find the library. She had to find Weiss quick for two things. One: To get one step closer to complete this hunt that Ren set up. And two: She really REALLY wanted to know what was in this box that Ruby asked her to give to Weiss that was safely in her jacket pocket.
She stopped in the middle of the hallway to rest and get her bearings. "Which way was it?" She said to herself looking right then left. "Crap." She started to head back to the garden but when she turned the corner she didn't see someone else turning the corner and knocked them to the ground with a thud. Nora stared in shock as she looked at the person on the ground.
"Ms. Valkyrie! There is no running in the halls!" It was Glynda Goodwitch sprawled out on the floor looking up at her.
"OH MY GOSH! Professor Goodwitch i'm so sorry!" She bent down and extended her arm to her. "Here let me help you up." Goodwitch grabbed her hand as Nora pulled she was launched a foot or two into the air from Noras strength. "Oops sorry Goodwitch."
When Goodwitch landed on the ground she let go of Noras hand and fixed her cloths that were in wrinkles. "Ms. Valkyrie I hope you have a good reason for almost flattening me. What is it?" She said not bothering to look up at Nora.
Nora looked down at the ground. "I...um...well I was looking for the library and got lost so...I was running back to find out where it was and I ran into you. Sorry again for running into you."
Professor Goodwitch finished fixing herself and looked at Nora. "Ms. Valkyrie I won't give you detention but, you have to help clean up the library. Ms. Schnee already volunteered and should be in there now. Follow me."
Professor Goodwitch lead the way to the library while Nora followed behind her silently staring at the little box that Ruby gave her as if trying to use some X-Ray vision power. Professor Goodwitch stopped and Nora not paying attention ran into her.
Goodwitch turned around and faced Nora "We're here. Be on your best behavior and help her." She turned to leave and walked towards her office. "I'll be back in about an hour."
Nora faced the library. She wondered why Weiss would volunteer to clean the library. Sure she was a clean freak but, why? She pushed open the doors and saw Weiss running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Nora watched for a minute or two then said something. "Weiss whats going on?" Weiss continued running around the library making more of a mess of it than cleaning it. Nora walked up to her and stopped her by grabbing her shoulders. "Weiss!"
Weiss wide eyed looks at Nora. "What?"
Nora let go of Weiss slowly. "What do you mean "What"? "Are you OK?"
Weiss breaks away from Nora "Everything is fine...really fine." She says biting her bottom lip and starts to pace back and forth.
Nora stops Weiss again. "Whats wrong?" She says holding her in place so she doesn't begin to move again. Weiss tries to avoid eye contact with her but Nora wouldn't let that happen.
Weiss signed in defeat closing her eyes and saying "It's Ruby."
Nora let go of Weiss then grabbed her hands in her own. Weiss looked at the two of them holding hands with a look of confusion. Nora rolled her eyes and pulled Weiss over to a table and sat across from her still holding her hands. "What about her?"
"Ruby and I have been dating ever since the Beacon Dance. We were both out on the balcony exhausted from setting it up and we were just talking and I don't know what happened but we kissed and have been dating ever since. I thought she was really cute when it was the entrance ceremony and she kept following me around the forest, and the way she just plays with Crescent Rose and and Zwei. Also the her silver eyes shine in... "
Weiss stopped and looked at Nora who had kept a straight face through all of this. "Sorry i'm droning on. Anyway everything was going great until she met my family." Weiss stood up and began pacing again. Nora thought it would be better if she just left her to do her own thing for a moment. "My family not even Klein knew that I was a lesbian let alone that I was dating. Klein was fine and said that he loved me no matter what. My sister was a bit shocked but she got over it fast. My brother was shouting "I knew it! I knew it!""
Nora tried but fail to stifle a laugh. "I'm sorry she put her hands over her mouth to hide a smile. "Continue...Please"
Weiss gave her an evil split second glare and continued. "My father didn't approve for the longest , two months ago Ruby was staying over at my house for the break with Zwei because Yang went over to Blakes. You know cat faunus and a dog don't go so well. So that night Ruby and I went to bed..."
Nora jumped up. "You two...you didn't...you know..."
Weiss felt her face get super hot. "N..n...o..NO! Separate beds!" She said covering her face with her hands.
Nora sat back down. "Oh sorry."
Weiss took a minute to get her face back to its original she continued and started to fidget with her hands. "Ruby and I went to sleep and around one in the morning I woke up to Zwei jumping on me. I grabbed him and called out to Ruby to get him but she didn't answer. I sat up and turned on the light and saw that she was gone. I saw that the door was open a crack so I thought that maybe Ruby went to the bathroom or something. So I get up to close it and Zwei ran out. I ran after him. When I finally caught him we were in front of my dads office. I turn around to go back to bed and I hear my father talking to Ruby."
"Ms. Rose we've been here all night it's time for you to go." Weiss said in a monotone voice trying to mimic her fathers.
"Mr. Schnee please." She said in a voice higher than her regular one for Rubys "I love Weiss with all my heart I couldn't live without her. So please I will ask again for your...your...for your..."
Weiss couldn't get through the last part but Nora already knew what she was going to say. " Oh my gosh that's why.." Nora stood up and reached into her pocket and pulled out the small box that Ruby has given her earlier that day.
Weiss stared at the box with wide eyes as if it could blow up at any moment. "Wh..what is that?
Nora held out the box to Weiss. "Ruby told me to give it to you when I found you today."
Weiss took the box and unwrapped the ribbon that was around it. She slowly took off the lid and looked at what was in it.
A note on top saying
"Meet me on the roof tonight 30 minutes before the you know what. PS I Love You.
-Ruby
Nora stared at it in shock. "Seriously! I was very careful with that box...for a piece of paper!"
Weiss took the paper and read it and reread it multiple times. She put the paper on the table and looked in the box. There was a bunch of tissue paper in the box. She very carefully felt around the paper until her hand touch something cold and hard. She grabbed hold of it and pulled it out. It was a thin necklace with rubies and diamonds encrusted in it.
Nora stared at the necklace in amazement. "How could Ruby afford that thing it must have been.."
Weiss cut her off "Does it matter how much it cost?"
Nora puts her hands up. "I guess not sorry."
Nora and Weiss stood there in silent for minute admiring the necklace. Nora was the first to break the silence. "Hey sorry but I need to get going on this hunt thing Ren set up. What was the clue he gave you?"
Weiss put the necklace carefully back in its box and turned to Nora. "I'm on fire...Just like my jokes."
Nora didn't need any time to think about it. "Do you know where Yang may be?"
"I'd try the gym." Weiss said looking at the note in thought.
"Thanks hey we should get to cleaning the library." Nora bent down and began cleaning.
Weiss stopped her. "I got this go find Yang and don't worry i'll handle Goodwitch."
Nora got up and ran out the door. "Thanks Weiss!"
Nora ran from the library towards the gym wondering what Yang will have in store for her when she got there.
