3 hours later, Ruby's POV (First Person):
"A date?! You're going on a date with Tyler? In that? Don't you think it's a little…showy?" Yang questioned rapidly.
"Yes, I'm going on a date, with Tyler, in this, and I don't think it's showy." I fire back.
"This", as it was called, was a dress put together for special occasion that aren't really formal. The top was elegant, yet there was a V-neck, showing of a bit of neck, but not too much, and the bottom was a simple skirt up to my knees. I still had my hood, stockings and combat boots, so it was alright. And I had Crescent Rose.
"Sorry, sweetie, but my feelings change." I whispered to her when I was alone.
"Have you consulted Dad yet?" Yang asked.
"No, but you know Tyler will win." I said matter-of-factly.
"Where are you going?"
"Sun's Wok."
"Never heard of it."
"It's not your taste."
"Are you…"
I didn't hear the rest of it because I made a mad dash for the door, threw it open, and raced out of there. I slow down to a walk, and see Tyler in a suit and tie. He looks great in one, actually. Like a hitman.
My POV (First Person):
She was as dazzling as the gem she was named after.
"Ready to go?" I ask as I walk over to the ride I selected, a motorcycle lent to me by, who do 'ya know? Jaune.
I paid him a couple hundred Lien to do it, but I am sure it'd give me much more worth.
"Isn't that Jaune's?" Ruby asked.
"Well, yeah. But I didn't have time to get one. I'll look up more tomorrow, and see if I can get one next week." I reply.
She smiles and shakes her head. I board the bike, with Ruby in tow, and speed off to Sun's Wok. The title's getting old, isn't it?
When we arrive, I kick the kick stand up, and we disembark.
"Well, we're here, let's go. There's going to be a lot of weird stuff coming from my end of the table, but everything I speak of is the truth. Just know that going in." I say.
We enter, ask for our reservation, and get seated.
We look at our menus for a minute, then Ruby asks "So, Tyler, what's the weird stuff?"
"Well, you definitely know I'm not from around here, but what you don't know is, I'm from another world, another universe probably. I'm from a place called Earth. On Earth, there are no Faunus, no weird morphing weapons like Crimson Reaper or Crescent Rose, and no Dust. But there's still war, and misery where I come from. I mean, in history, people were persecuted for being a darker skin color. I really hope you can take this all in." I say.
"Well..." Ruby replied, not sure how to respond to that.
"I told you, there would be weird stuff. Just don't worry about it. Accept it." I say back, "Ok, so the specific place I come from is a place called the United States of America, or the US for short. I live in the northwest corner, in Bellevue, Washington. I wasn't like this though. I was fatter, acne-covered, and just not cool. So you wouldn't like me at all if you woke up in my room, including the fact that it's too small. Also, I've seen previous events to when I appeared in your dorm room. I know several things about you few people here know. But where I come from, you're famous! But… that's neither here nor there. Anyways, where I come from, this place is a setting for a show called RWBY, where you are the main characters, and everything is entirely fabricated. I never knew I'd be here when I woke up. Now I'm integrated in the story line. So that's basically it. I know most of your story, so really no reason to tell much. But I think you should, even just for the sake of realism." I say.
A few minutes of shit we all know later…
"And that's my story." Ruby finished.
The waiter chose to come at that time, and we ordered. We made small talk until the food came, and we tucked in.
The food was very good, and I could tell why they were called a fine dining establishment. But basically we ate, made small talk, and I decided to take it up a notch after our meal.
"Ruby, I feel as if this bike doesn't have too many miles on it. 'Ya wanna help me fix that?" I ask with a wink.
Ruby smiles with a roll of her eyes, and gets on with me. I put my foot on the gas, and burn rubber. I drive on a road in a beeline, testing the potential of the roadster. I'm not a good driver, as I have no experience, but my motor skills are fine-tuned. I do a turn, and marvel at my new skills. I do a drive around the city. Then, a movement catches the corner of my eye, a movement out of place. I slow down, and that might have saved my life from Jaune strangling me. The movement was the firing of a rocket launcher, and the rocket was aimed at where I was projected, and it lands a few meters in front of us, blowing up a section of the road. We were pushed back a little by the concussion of the blast, but were otherwise unharmed. I turn to face our attackers, who are White Fang grunts. I pull out Crimson Reaper, while Ruby brandished Crescent Rose, and the grunt with a very RPG-like grenade launcher, dropped it, and unsheathed a very large claymore. The rest of the goons wield a variety of weapons. I turn Crimson Reaper into shotgun form, and get ready to throw down. The first couple of goons rush at me, sword and hatchet battle hungry. I blow one's head to pieces, and a large hole in the other. Ruby gasps in horror. I turn Crimson Reaper into Zanpaku-to form, and rush towards the opposing force. Ruby watches me go. I dodge a blow from a spear, and chop off the head, leaving the grunt with a quarterstaff. I slice that in half as well, then slice him in half. I dismember an arm from another grunt, and kick him away. There are three grunts left. I take two out in one fell swoop, and the third I dispatch him of his head. I face the leader, who raises his claymore in challenge. I raise mine in turn, and I dash towards him. We begin an intricate series of blows, blocking each other and dealing no damage. I use a little telepathy to gain an opening, and let loose. I cut up, down, sideways, and diagonally. My opponent hardly could keep up. I end with a kick, and I cleave the top half of his body from the bottom. And just like that, 7 lives ended. I sheathe Crimson Reaper, and walk over to Ruby, who was weeping openly.
I embrace her, and she asks "Why did you have to do it?"
I say "If I hadn't stopped, we probably would've died, and if I hadn't dispatched them, we would've definitely died."
"It's not the same as watching Grimm being killed."
"No, it isn't. It never should be."
And that's a bad note to end a first date! Be sure to vote! And apply for my forum! Don't forget to be awesome, and stay creative!
