GMG, ready to roll. First order of business. A guest review needs a response. Average JO3, my disciple, it lightens my heart to know that you have come to read from my texts once more. I wish you were a member. I'd love the opportunity to converse with you. If any are wondering, I do have an idea on how to include Blake in the pairing... It just takes some time to set up. I do wanna see if I can get it done in this chapter, but it may not be done.

Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY.

For their second date, it was Emerald who decided on the plan. They would go and fight some Grimm together, show off to each other, and just have some fun. So they headed for Emerald Forest, much to Ruby's amusement. Her sister's puns must've been rubbing off on her.

"I wasn't aware you had a forest, Emmy." Ruby joked, dodging a few branches.

The thief snorted. "If you're going to make fun of my name, you better expect me too, when next I see a red rose."

The young leader shrugged. "Fair enough. So, why the journey through the woods?"

"I have something planned." The thief said. "Plus, I need my girl to escort me there. I've been curious about how well you fight."

Silver eyes rolled. "You just want an edge on the battlefield."

Emerald shrugged. "I won't tell Mercury, I promise."

"Where are we headed?"

The thief grinned. "I scouted the forest a little while ago and found an area pretty secluded. The Grimm have a hard time reaching it too, but at least we can get there easily enough."

Ruby nodded. "Lead the way."

Emerald led the girl deeper into the forest, letting Ruby handle any of the Grimm they ran into. It took about half an hour before they reached their location and Emerald stopped, pointing at the sheer rock face before them. "We just have to climb this and we'll be there."

Ruby looked confused. "Won't there be more Grimm up there?"

The thief shook her head. "No. I checked it out earlier. The cliff actually runs in almost a complete circle, with a very narrow exception." She grinned. "The only Grimm getting up there are the Nevermores and they don't usually come to this place because the lack of other Grimm to hunt."

"Okay. If you're sure." She hooked an arm around the other girls waist and aimed Crescent Rose at the ground, firing the weapon to shoot them up the cliff. When they landed on the top she cheered. "Crescent Rose for the win!"

"Yeah." Emerald nodded, fetching her scroll from her small pack on her belt. "Now let's see if I can find it."

"Find what?" Asked Ruby. "A service signal?"

"Ha ha, Ruby. I'm cracking up," the thief drawled. "I left a tracker at our destination so I could find it again."

Ruby feigned a skeptical glance. "Is this a trap?"

Emerald chuckled, waving the younger girl off. "Only to get you in my clutches. I need some way to get a girl." She walked off into the tree line. "Come on. It's this way."

Ruby followed after her. "How far?"

"A quarter of a mile, but that won't take to long." She shrugged. "Is that gonna tire you out?"

"Considering that I can cover that distance in like ten seconds, I don't think so." She crossed her arms and tilted her nose up, sniffing.

Emerald ignored her and continued walking, the cloaked teen following. After a short while, they entered a clearing devoid of any obstructions except a small crate. "Here we are."

Ruby glanced at the crate. "What's inside the box?"

"A net to capture you with." Emerald joked, walking over to it. "It's our lunch."

Silver eyes brightened with excitement. "A picnic?"

The thief cracked the crate open and pulled out a checkered sheet. "Down to the last cliche detail."

The cookie junkie helped spread the sheet and sat, watching as Emerald placed a basket on the sheet's center. "Did you bring cookies?"

"Yes." The older girl replied, ruffling Ruby's hair. "Your sister told me about your obsession."

Ruby huffed. "It's not an obsession."

"You're right." Emerald laughed. "It's an addiction."

Ruby plopped down and watched as Emerald sat beside her. She clapped her hands together and stared at the basket with hungry eyes. "Bring on the cookies."

The thief snickered and rifled through the basket, passing a pack of cookies to her date. "Take them you impatient ball of energy."

Peeling the box open, Ruby tore through the cookies like a lawnmower. Emerald would even swear it sounded similar! The red-eyed teen just snatched up a sandwich and bit into it, watching Ruby with amusement. The picnic was rather nice and Ruby did sample other foods that weren't cookies. As the evening passed, the sun sunk lower in the sky. They decided to leave before it got too dark.

In a bit of a rush, the couple sped off back towards the dorms.

XXXGMGXXX

The dating duo entered Ruby's dorm to see that the others were gone, out somewhere apparently. Ruby picked up a note from Yang explaining that she'd taken (dragged) the other two out to a karaoke bar with the intention of getting Weiss to sing. Yang even promised a proper recording for her younger sister when they returned.

Emerald read the note over the younger teen's shoulder and chuckled. "I suppose your sister thought I'd be returning with you."

Ruby, naive as she was, looked confused. "Why do you think?"

"She made it so the two of us were alone. In the room housing your bed."

Ruby's cheeks burned red. "O-oh..."

Emerald pulled Ruby against her and kissed the girl. The next hour was pretty interesting for them, but Ruby would never say what happened. Oh well.

End...

Sorry for late release. So many things happening. New episodes and movies to watch, fics to read, and character sheets to submit. I've been running around like a headless chicken. Episode 18 was great, Ruby and Emmy finally interact. *manly fangirl squeal* ... -_- a very contradictive action. I also watched Guardians of The Galaxy. It was amazing. I recommend it highly. Before I enter Blake into this pairing, I'd like to know if you guys want her to be part of it. Your opinions matter, so please tell me if I should include her or not. Adieu!
