Hey, yo, sorry this took so long, I've been going through some stuff lately, but I'm trying to get back into writing again, hopefully you won't have to wait another month for the next chapter.
Anton: Not 100% sure on if he'll be added yet or not, but who knows!
GateMasterGreen: That's not out of the question as I love that - But no promises xD
Hela7smite: There is! Sorry it took so long D:
Neon sat in the silent room clicking her heels together, despite the fact that the pallet team RWBY had made for her was better than anything she'd slept in lately, she still found herself waking up after a couple hours and moving to a desk to sit and wait for the team to arise. She wasn't sure what their usual morning routine was like but she had no problem just watching the quiet room while she waited. She spent the first part of her morning taking in the dorm and learning what she could about it. She was really interested that they made the unsafe looking bunks, it must have been a spacial issue. As she began to look around to see their various decorations something wet moving against her foot causing her to roll back in the chair and look down.
"Ohh.. A… puppy.." The feline nervously said, being a cat, dogs obviously weren't her favorite but she had no problem petting the little guy for a bit. He was pretty cute to so that was a bonus. After investigating his Collar she learned his name was Zwei, super cute.
The Faunus found her petting and thoughts quickly interrupted when a beeping came from across the room, learning the rest of the team got up around 6 would be helpful possibly, but she was probably just getting ahead of herself. Giving her best smile to Ruby as she hopped down to shut it off with a yawn she waved and lightly whispered a 'hello' to her.
As Ruby dropped down she smiled back to the Faunus, she certainly hadn't expected her to be up yet, if anything she was planning on letting her sleep in due to her circumstances. She slowly crept over to the girl deciding to let her team sleep for a few minutes while she talked with Neon. Kneeling down to pat Zwei she looked up to the girl in her still bright blue clothes that were pretty clearly dirty. "You're going to need some new clothes.." She softly giggled when she earned a blushing pout from the Kitten.
"I… Well duh, but it's not really a priority when you only have enough Lien for 3 sandwiches…" Neon softly replied, earning an understanding smile from Ruby.
"So… I think we should head up to see Ozpin before anything else today, and I'll let you borrow a hoodie of mine if you want."
While Neon desperately wanted some breakfast, the girl did have a point, so as soon as Ruby could get ready she'd go to see the headmaster with her. "Sounds like a plan, I guess we should get ready then.. And thanks, If you have a skirt or pants or shorts that you wouldn't mind me wearing I'd appreciate that to.. Also a shirt..."
Ruby chuckled again as she stood up and brushed her pajamas off. "Sure thing, I'll grab them for you, but you should take a shower first."
Neon blushed again and nodded, standing from her chair and walking over with Ruby to a drawer, the red t-shirt and skirt weren't her style, and probably would be a little tight around her waist but she still appreciated it. "Thanks…" She whispered walking into the bathroom while Ruby went to wake her team.
Weiss impatiently tapped her foot while standing outside the door, She understood that it was the right thing to let Neon shower first, but today was her day to go first and she loved relaxing in the shower right as she woke up. When the door's lock finally unclicked she sighed and looked up only to burst out laughing when She saw the black and red striped shirt and classic skirt that Ruby wore.
Neon bit her lip and winced, sighing when Weiss patted her shoulder and walked past her. She walked over to Yang and Blake who clearly weren't morning people and offered a bright smile. "How you two doing?"
Blake yawned and turned to the girl, giving a polite smile back. "Tired still, but Ruby is smart to wake us up this early, or we'd all end up being late with how long Yang and Weiss shower."
"Heeey… I don't take THAT long" Yang complained earning laughs from both Blake and her younger sister.
"Well, hopefully with that new conditioner I showed you you'll be able to fix your hair quicker now" Neon grinned before taking a step back from the glaring blonde.
The rest of the morning went by fairly quick for team RWBY and Neon, with Weiss and Yang taking the longest to shower and get dressed, as the group went to leave Ruby pulled Neon in the other direction from where the team was headed.
"I'm going to take Neon to talk to Ozpin first, figured we should do it before any teachers start questioning her or anything!" Ruby called to her team as she dragged the Faunus along towards the headmaster's office.
BREAK
As the two girls waited in the elevator up to what Neon presumed was Professor Ozpin's office Neon quickly began to get nervous thinking about what she'd do if he didn't help her, though a snap from Ruby brought her out of her thoughts.
"Heeey you gonna be okay?" The leader asked with a concerned tone, wanting to ensure that the Faunus would be able to actually talk with Ozpin.
Neon nodded swiftly and took a breath. "Yeaaah.. Yeah, I'll be alright, just a tad bit nervous is all."
"That makes sense, but Professor Ozpin is super nice so I'm sure he'd be more than happy to help you!" Ruby smiled, happy to see Neon return the smile as they heard the ding followed by the door opening.
Neon nervously followed the younger girl into the office, watching Ruby explained the situation to the secretary who let them enter the office after a few moments. As they walked in she took in the large office and then calmly smiling headmaster before giving a quick bow to show some form of respect, she quickly walked over with Ruby and sat at the desk.
Ozpin waited for a moment, trying to think of why the Atlesian student might be here with Ruby, taking a sip of his hot chocolate he gave a soft smile and slowly spoke up. "So how can I help you miss Rose and.. Do forgive me but I have forgotten your name since the festival?"
"Neon Katt… it's a pleasure to meet you professor." Neon quickly spoke up, wanting to be as respectful as she could. She looked over to Ruby nervously who nodded which elicited a sigh of relief in the cat's mind, she really didn't wanna have to explain this herself.
Ruby took a long breath of air before quickly speaking up. "Well you see Professor Ozpin, After Neon's tactic to try and taunt Yang during her match didn't work and she messed up Atlas blamed her team's loss on her not taking the match seriously enough and expelled her, she's been living in Vale homeless for days now but Yang found her last night and she was all alone so we let her sleep in our room but we don't know what to do besides that but we figured you could help her since she's still a huntress maybe she could like… I dunno come to Beacon or something!" Ruby gasped and regained her breath as the Faunus stared wide eyed at her in shock.
Ozpin took the information slowly in, processing each bit while he thought of possible ways to help the young girl, he knew that Atlas's standards for teams were strict, but that was a little too much. "I see, well.. Obviously our teaming at this academy is in groups of four and just adding her to the program would be no easy task giving that circumstance, but if a team were willing to accept a fifth member as an extra while miss Katt was giving special tasks on missions and in training, I believe I could find a way to help her cause."
"We'll let her in!" Ruby instantly volunteered, not even needing to think about it, she wanted to help the girl and would gladly do so.
"Is the rest of your team okay with that?" Ozpin calmly asked, earning a nod from Ruby, he looked over to the nervous looking girl and gave a soft smile. "Well, in that case, miss Rose, miss Katt, you may go join your team for breakfast and explain the situation, afterwards I would like for you to come back to my office miss Katt so we can work out the rest of your situation.
"Thank you so much Professor, I promise I won't let you down, I'll work so incredibly hard to make you proud to have me as a student!" Neon happily exclaimed before standing up.
"I'm sure you will, now run along, I'm sure you must be very hungry." Ozpin softly said, earning smiles from the two teens who quickly stepped away whilst happily talking to each other.
Again sorry for the wait, hope anyone who stuck around or joins in feels that it's worth it! =D
