How Fun It Is To Be Young!
'It's quiet today,' Ichigo couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy. The overbearing silence in the cafeteria was very unusual. The three teams, RWBY, JPNR, and RIOT, would be talking their heads off and goofing around when they all congregated in this room, but for one reason or another, that was not the case today. The silence was broken as Yang slid over to Blake.
"What'ca doing?"
"Nothing," Blake quickly closed the book as Weiss looked over at the two.
"Just going over notes from last semester," as she finished her sentence, Yang caught a piece of food in her mouth before turning back towards Blake.
"Lame!"
"Wow, she is accurate with that ain't she?". Ichigo looked over at the other two tables as Nora catapulted food from her table to Yang's mouth.
"It's kind of impressive," said Tatsuki; there was a loud bang as Ruby dropped a giant binder down on the table. Ichigo looked over at his teammates.
"I have a feeling that I'm going to be feeling sorry for Ruby's teammates in a second…", the four stared over at the table as Ruby cleared her throat.
"Sister! Friends! Weiss…"
"Hey!", shouted Weiss in a slightly offended tone as Ruby just continued with her little speech.
"Four score and seven minutes ago. I had a dream."
"This oughta be good."
"A dream that one day, the four of us would come together, as a team and have the most fun anyone has ever had, ever!"
"Did you steal my binder?"
"I am not a crook.", Blake looked over at her overly enthusiastic teammate.
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about kicking off the semester with a bang!", Yang turns to Blake.
"I always kick my semesters off with a Yang!", her teammates looked at her with a disapproving glare as the whole room could hear Ichigo groan from the pun. Yang soon got hit in the face with an apple as Nora 'booed' her.
"Look guys, it's been two weeks a good weeks, and between more exchange students arriving and the tournament at the end of the year, our second semester is going to be great! But classes start back up tomorrow. Which is why I've taken the time to schedule a series of wonderful events for us today," Ruby pointed to the giant binder on the table as Weiss stared at her.
"I don't know whether to be proud or scared of what you have in store," Yang then stood up and threw an apple across the room.
"I don't even wanna know…", Ichigo stared over at team RWBY's table as they had a conversation about...something. Suddenly a creampie collided into Weiss's face.
"What just happened?"
"I have no clue…", Tatsuki looked over at Rukia and then back at the other table.
"But, it's probably not gonna end well…"
"This is not going well," Ichigo looked over at the giant stack of tables and vending machines at the opposite side of the room. Nora laughed as she stood on top of the giant structure.
"I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!", Ruby put one foot on a table as she squeezed a milk carton.
"Justice will be swift! Justice will be painful! It will be delicious!", team RWBY let out a battle cry as their leader shouted.
"Off with their heads," members of team JPNR started to descend from the stack of tables; Rukia shook her head and groaned as edible carnage ensued. Team JPNR began to launch watermelons as Yang put her fist inside two turkeys and began to punch the oncoming watermelons. Blake soon followed as she grabbed two loaves of bread and began to smash the flying fruit.
"How!", Ichigo leaned against a wall and pointed to Blake, "How is that bread not breaking?"
"It must be very stale…"
"I had some of it...I think I'm gonna be sick," Rukia cupped her hand over mouth as she watched Blake continue to bust through the melons. Tatsuki patted her on the back.
"If you ate some, then the loaf you had wasn't stale...well at least not THAT stale."
"She has a point," Orihime walked over to the two girls and sat beside them, "If the bread you ate was like that, then you probably wouldn't have been able to eat."
"Thanks Orihime that was…'reassuring'," Rukia made sure she put as much sarcasm as she could into that last bit.
"Weiss has a swordfish...when did this school even serve swordfish!"
"Maybe we just haven't seen it?", Ichigo turned to Orihime.
"We've been here for a semester. I'm pretty sure someone would have seen swordfish if they were serving," Orihime shrugged as Ichigo sighed.
"They have some really weird stuff here don't th-", he turned to see Orihime humming whilst spinning a leek. Tatsuki looked over at Orihime and stared for a few seconds.
"Hime...where did you get that?"
"Dunno, I think it flew over from over there," she pointed to where Weiss and Nora were currently fighting. Nora twirled her makeshift watermelon hammer around a few times before slamming it into Weiss's gut, sending her flying into a wall. Ruby caught her in a knick of time as a pillar began to collapse.
"Weiss! Weiss! Don't leave me! No!", Ruby was dramatically yelling as the pillar hit the ground and Yang rushed past her.
"They're really dedicated to this aren't they?", Rukia asked before bitting a chicken wing that flew across the room.
"You're seriously eating that?", asked Tatsuki as Rukia shrugged and took another bite.
"I'm hungry!"
"This is coming from the girl who was freaking out about the bread she ate possibly being stale," she pouted as Tatsuki said this.
"Oh piss off!" she took another bite.
"They're seriously doing this though," Ichigo slid down the wall into a sitting position as he watched Ren and Yang engage in combat...using turkeys and leeks. Yang uppercutted Ren with her turkey gauntlet as he went up in the air, he threw his leeks at her, somehow managing to stick them into the ground. Yang dodged the vegetables and jumped into the air before punching Ren back into the ground. As he hit the ground, Nora smashed her melon hammer into ground as she charged at Yang. Yang barely dodged an overhead strike from Nora as she went in for the kill. The two went to exchanged blows, Yang threw a hard straight but was cut off by Nora's upward swing, the watermelon exploded as it came in contact with Yang and sent her through the ceiling.
"That's gotta hurt," Ichigo winced slightly as Yang flew through the ceiling. The debris from the ceiling came crashing down towards Blake, who avoided it by performing a swift backflip and grabbing a large link of sausages for her new 'weapon'.
"They're very creative at least," said Rukia as she watched Blake strike Nora with the sausages, sending her flying into a vending machine. Nora hopped onto her feet and began to bombard Blake with shaken cans of soda that seemed to explode once they hit the ground. Blake barely avoided Nora's makeshift grenades as ran to the side, Pyrrah saw this and slammed her hand onto the ground, levitating the mass amount of empty soda cans before hurdling them at Blake. The barrage of cans pushed Blake off her feet and sent her flying across the room; Ruby looked back at Blake before looking forward with a determined look on her face as she went into a position similar to that of a runner. She took off at an extreme speed causing all of the food and cans to fly behind her. Ruby sped up, as the barrage behind started to move faster she zipped past team JPNR and skid to a halt as they went flying into the wall behind her, leaving a giant crack in the wall covered with soda and crushed fruits and vegetables.
"And that's why as a leader I said we weren't participating in this," Rukia puffed out her chest and held up her head as Ichigo and Tatsuki rolled their eyes before responding at the same time.
"Killjoy!", she looked back at the two and scoffed.
"Do you have any idea how long it would have took to wash our uniforms and get all of that food off of us?", she turned around and looked at the carnage around them.
"That time is going to be spent on better things like studying and training!"
"Oh?", Orihime stood up and walked over to Rukia, "So you like Ichigo and Tatsuki's training? That's great! We can all train in a bit, it'll be really fun!", Rukia's proud expression dropped as Ichigo chuckled and put a death grip on her shoulder.
"Yea, it'll be a lot of fun Rukia!"
"Please no...don't make me go back to that hell," Tatsuki started laughing.
"Too late! You said we should spend time training and studying! And we've already studied for this semester, so we're going to train now!", Ichigo looked over towards the door.
"Oh Sun's over there with some blue haired dude," Rukia slipped out of Ichigo's grip and laughed nervously.
"Oh would you look at that! We should go greet them! Come one!"
"Rukia, wait Goo-", Ichigo's sentence was cut off as Glynda bursted through the doors and growled before using her semblance to rearrange the entire cafeteria.
"Children, please do not play with your food," teams JPNR and RWBY stiffened up slightly as she spoke to them. Nora proceeded to belch as Yang came crashing down through the ceiling, causing the two teams to roar up in laughter. Glynda gritted her teeth and growled again as they started to laugh, but Ozpin put his hand on her shoulder in attempt to calm her.
"Let it go," Glynda sighed before looking at the two teams again.
"They're supposed to be the defenders of the world."
"And they will be. But right now they're still children. So why not let them play the part?", Ozpin began to walk towards the exit .
"After all, it isn't a role they'll have forever."
The two walked over to team RIOT with smiles on their face and crushed food on their clothes. Ruby tilted her head and giggled a bit.
"Why didn't you guys join in?", Yang rushed up to Ruby's side.
"Really! It was a lot of fun!", Tatsuki stepped forward and sighed.
"We would have but Miss Killjoy Kuchiki over there said we couldn't", the other two teams raised a brow at Rukia.
"I am not a killjoy! I made a decision as a team leader that we didn't have the team to spend washing our uniforms!", Ruby and Yang busted out laughing.
"Really? Weiss joined in and she's WAY more stuck up than you!"
"Hey! I am not stuck up!", said Weiss in a slightly offended tone.
"Sure whatever you say Ice Queen," the three teams began to laugh.
"Well, we'll catch you guys later. We've got training to do!", shouted Ichigo loudly.
"Please no…", Rukia screamed as Tatsuki and Ichigo picked her up and ran out of the cafeteria with Orihime trailing behind them as the short girl continued to yell.
"No! Please I want to live!"
