Chapter 3: Bumblebee

Yang opened the door to the bathroom and saw Sun and Blake standing by the window. She started to walk over to them but cringed when she saw Blake's hand on his shoulder.

'He did say he wished he had thought of it first.' Yang thought jealously.

But that fear was quickly bellied as Blake turned around and Yang found herself mesmerized by the amber eyes staring at her.

"When did you want to leave?" Blake asked, calm and collected as ever.

"As soon as you want to."

"Then why don't we go in a few minutes, I want to have a few minutes to think."

"Okay, that's a good idea, I do still have to finish my hair." Yang said as she looked up disapprovingly at the yellow mane on her head.

"Yeah it does look like a hornet's nest." Sun added helpfully.

While Yang was okay when she criticized her hair, she didn't like it when other people did. She turned suddenly and, pausing only for a second to give a nasty look to Sun, retreated back into the bathroom.

"What was that all about?" Blake asked.

"I guess I hit a nerve." Sun responded, still confused over exactly what he had done wrong.

Sun wasn't going to admit this to the team, but he had very few skills when it came to interacting with other people. So while Yang was concerned Sun might try to steal Blake, there wasn't a lot to worry about.

"Yeah, I guess you did." Blake said.

"Wait, since you guys are leaving, who is gonna take me to Ozpin? It's not as if I can find my way on my own."

"Ask Ruby to, I'm sure she'll be fine with doing it. As long as Weiss doesn't keep her all day."

"I would rather you be there, after all, I haven't really had time to get to know Ruby that well. You are the one I am most comfortable around."

"It would probably be better if the team leader took you to see him, she does have a little more weight in this situation."

"Yeah, I gue-." Sun started before being interrupted by Yang walking out of the bathroom, yelling to Blake that it was time to go.

"Well, Yang is ready, so I guess I should go too. Bye Sun." Blake said as she was being dragged away.

"Yeah, bye." Sun replied, as he turned around to gaze out the window once more.

"So where are you taking me?" Blake asked, looking around and seeing nothing of interest. "We are kind of in the middle of nowhere."

"Well, this isn't where all of the stores are, but I have something I need to get first." Yang replied, looking for something in the alleyways.

"Ah, so we're going shopping?"

"Yes, that's first on the agenda, but there are other things we will be doing later."

"Such as?"

"That is something for me to know, and you to find out." Yang said while teasingly poking her finger at Blake.

"I've told you not to do that, haven't I?" Blake growled while instinctively lashing out at the finger, which Yang quickly pulled away.

"Yes, I know, I know… AHA, here it is." Yang exclaimed as she pointed towards a run down looking garage.

"'Colton's Garage', is this where we're going shopping?"

"No silly, this is where I keep my prized possession."

"And what would that be?"

"This!" Yang yelled as she pulled up a garage door to reveal a bright yellow motorcycle.

"And what would this be?"

"This is Bumblebee. This is our ride from shop to shop. Isn't she magnificent?"

"It's a deathtrap, but I suppose it's better than walking."

"Well what are you waiting for? Hop on!" Yang said as she jumped on and started it up.

Blake jumped up as well and had just secured a helmet to her head before Yang revved the engine. After a brief look to make sure Blake was ready, Yang sped out of the garage, yelling as she felt the adrenaline course through her body.

A few hours later, after a huge shopping spree, Yang and Blake walked out of the mall. As they got to Bumblebee, Yang seemed to realize that they had a serious problem.

"Uh, where are we gonna put all this stuff?"

"You should have thought of that before you tore the whole t-shirt rack down looking for one. Although I don't think it was fair that the employee made you buy them all." Blake responded with a smirk.

"Well, let's just call the school and get them to pick it up."

"Great, another waste of money."

"Quiet you, I have money to spare for now."

"Alright fine, call them."

As Yang was on the phone, Blake looked around. She didn't like what she saw, there was a group of thugs standing around a helpless lady. Blake called to Yang, and, receiving only a 'one minute' sign, she headed off towards the group. As she went she casually pulled Gambol Shroud out of its sheath and stealthily approached the group of thugs.

"Nobody move!" She yelled as she grabbed a thug from behind and put her sword up to his throat. "Why are you doing this?"

"Because we need money." One of the thugs replied.

"Yeah, and now a pretty little princess is going to try to stop us, how cute." Another one said.

With that, he leveled his gun at Blake and squeezed the trigger, only to see his friend fall down in agony.

'How did she d-' he thought, but he felt a sharp pain as his wrist got twisted out of position.

As Blake stepped over to help the lady, she looked around at her handiwork. All four of the offenders were lying on the ground in pain. Three of them had broken wrists and another had a gunshot wound in his chest, he was lying ominously still. His comrade was just looking at the gun that lay at his feet, he felt sickened that he had just accidentally killed his friend.

"I believe you dropped this." Blake said as she handed the woman's purse back.

The woman could only stare in shock as the mysterious girl, for she could see that the assailant couldn't be more than 18, walked away.

Author's Note:
So that was a thing. Before I get into anything else, I want to say a huge thank you to my friend Colton. (Whose name you might recognize from the garage.) He's my friend and editor, and is the one who looks over my utter gibberish and turns them into words and sentences. And another thing, in reply to a reviewer named Duckheart, (I'm not sure if you read my reply) but as you can see there will be some Bumblebee action a lot during this story. I find the pairing to be natural and enjoyable to write. If you don't already know, my schedule for when I will post new chapters is on my profile page, so check there to find out when this story will be updated. As always, don't forget to leave constructive criticism in the reviews. Enjoy your Sunday and expect more to come in the future! Chas1881
