A/N: Time for a small bit of drama, plus a question; Should I add another OC, like Silver, to the story, or should I keep it the way it is mixing canon RWBY and BRS characters only? Let me know in the reviews!
Now, onwards!
True to her expectations, Chariot spotted them in mere nanoseconds. She sped right up to their spot at the tree, positively beaming with excitement.
"Hiya! What are you two doing here? I thought Rock's place was on the other end of the city! Wait! Did you two fly here?!"
True to her nature as well, Chariot immediately started a waterfall of questions the second that she opened her mouth.
"We're taking a break from studying, and yes on both accounts." Silver gave a nod, then glanced past Chariot to see Strength approaching them. "Hi, Strength."
"Hi, Silver. Rock." Strength gave her usual stoic reply.
"We were actually gonna call you two. We wanted to know if you both wanted to come to the beach with us for the afternoon. Want to join us?" Rock sat up a bit straighter, her hands still draped across Silver's body.
"What about Dead Master, Gold, Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang? Are they coming too?" Chariot immediately sparked off with her rapidfire questions, but Rock shrugged.
"We haven't called any of them yet. In fact, I'm not even sure if I have Gold, Weiss or Blake's numbers at all." Rock pulled her cell phone out of her pocket, checking for their respective numbers. "Nope, no... Oh! I have Gold, but not Blake and Weiss."
"I have Weiss, but not Blake. I don't think she actually has a cell phone, to be honest." Silver commented, retrieving his own cell from his belt and bringing up Weiss' number. "I'll call Weiss, you call Gold, maybe we can have them relay the message to Ruby, Yang, Blake and Dead Master."
Rock nodded, then started the call to Gold. She picked up at the first ring.
"Hey, Rock. What's up?"
"Not much, just on a break from studying. I wanted to ask you and Dead Master about your plans for the rest of the day. Me, Silver, Chariot and Strength were planning to go to the beach, and wanted to see if you'd join us."
"The beach, huh? Can Silver, Strength and Chariot even swim with their augmentations?" Gold asked, sounding interested, judging by her tone. "I'll gladly tag along, just give me a quick second to see if DeeDee wants to join us."
Rock heard Gold's voice fade away for a second, clearly lowering the phone from her ear, then after a second, she heard her calling loudly for Dead Master. A second later, she heard Dead Master's voice reply.
"She said sure, where do you want to meet up?" Gold's voice returned, and Rock gave them the location of the train station that was closest to the local beach. "Alright, we'll be there in about half an hour. See you there."
Rock ended the call, then saw that Silver had also finished his call to Weiss at the same time. She hadn't even realized he had been on the phone.
"Weiss is with Blake at the library, they said they'd also be joining us once they return to their dorm. I told them to meet us there." Silver explained as he lowered his phone to call someone else. "I'll call Yang, see if she's with Ruby."
"No need, we're right here!"
Everyone turned to see Yang and Ruby striding towards them, both with beaming smiles on their faces.
"Oh, well speak of the devil, and she shall appear." Rock joked. "We were going to call you two and see if you wanted to go to the beach with us and Weiss, Blake, Dead Master and Gold."
"Who's Gold?" Ruby raised an eyebrow, confused.
"Dead Master's older sister. She's a second year at Nova, her full name's Black Gold Saw."
"So she's a senpai?" Ruby asked, her expression changing from confusion to mildly impressed.
"A what? What the fuck is a 'Sem-pie'?" Rock raised an eyebrow, confused by Ruby's comment.
"It's an honorific. Means upperclassman... Someone in a higher year than you in school." Ruby explained, averting her gaze slightly, like she was embarrassed by the explanation.
"Honorific?" Silver was also raising an eyebrow, but he wasn't that badly confused. "You mean -kun, -san, -sama, -dono, and -sensei... right?"
Ruby's gaze snapped back towards Silver, as did Rock and Yang. "Wait... how did you know what those are?" Ruby asked in amazement.
"Long story short... One of the technicians that worked on my wings was Japanese, and he was always adding honorifics to the names of the other staff, so I asked him what they all meant, and he explained them to me."
"Wow, I thought you learned them from anime, like I did." Ruby nodded her head. "But to think you learned it from someone who was actually Japanese... I'm so jealous!"
"Great! Now that this is all done, when are we heading for the beach!? I want to really get a chance to relax after all the studying we did!" Yang spoke up suddenly, a determined expression on her face. "We'll meet up with Weiss and Blake at our dorm, then we'll meet you four there!"
"Yang." Strength turned to face her, her gaze and tone were both oddly annoyed.
"Y-yeah?" Yang stopped in mid stride, sounding suspiciously tense.
"Wait for us, our dorm is down the hall from yours, remember?" Strength reminded her, which rewarded her with Yang relaxing.
"Oh yeah, I forgot! Oops."
Rock and Silver gave the departing quartet a wave, remaining where they were seated under the shade of the tree.
"Why was Yang so scared of Strength?" Rock asked curiously, watching the two sets of sisters leave the park.
"Beats me. Must have been her tone." Silver shrugged, also curious by the exchange between them. "Anyway, let's head back home and get ourselves ready as well."
Returning home, the two of them gave White a quick explanation to their plans, then hurried upstairs to get themselves ready for an afternoon at the beach.
Minutes later, they left, Silver carried Rock in his arms as he flew them directly to the train station near the beach.
He hovered above the crowds for a minute, searching for either Dead Master or Gold's signature horns through the heads until he caught sight of Ebony and Ivory circling around a pillar.
"I got eyes on Ebony and Ivory, do you see them by that pillar?" Silver asked Rock, who followed his gaze and nodded. "Alright, let's drop down."
With that, Silver began to descend to the ground, causing the crowds of people to stop below him, forming an open circle for him to land safely. With waves of thanks, he and Rock dropped down for the last few feet, then were swallowed by the crowds when they resumed their usual movement activity.
After weaving their way through the crowds of people, Silver and Rock waved to Gold, quickly getting her attention over the sounds of the crowded station.
"We just arrived, were you waiting long?" Silver asked, giving Dead Master a smiling nod.
"No, maybe about two minutes. Anyway, let's go find the others." Gold adjusted the strap for her towel bag on her shoulder, striding through the nearest gap in the crowds.
"So... last sunny day before midterms, and you decide to take everyone to the beach, huh? I take it you've been studying nonstop, right?" Gold commented as they reached the exit from the platform and left the building's cool shade for the brilliant sunlight outside.
"Yeah, it was Rock's idea." Silver gave a nod, his arm around Rock's shoulder while her arm was wrapped behind his back. "Glad you both could make it."
"Not a problem, makes for a fun change of pace after all. So, where are Chariot and Strength meeting us?" Gold glanced along the road in search for the sisters.
"They're with Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang. We told them to meet us right here." Rock answered, then noticed how quiet Dead Master had been up to that point. "Hey, Dead Master, why are you being so quiet?"
Dead Master smirked, then held up a half-eaten apple. Upon closer inspection, Rock realized that Dead Master was chewing.
"Oh, didn't realize you were eating. My bad." Rock smiled slightly.
With a smile as well, Dead Master swallowed her chunk of apple, then spoke. "It's fine, Rock. It wasn't like I was being blatantly obvious about it."
"Speaking of blatantly obvious..." Gold turned around to face them, but continued walking backwards. "I don't see either of you carrying a towel bag. What gives?"
"I have them both, right here." Silver replied, revealing both his and Rock's bags hidden under his duster. "Neither of us could carry them while I was flying, so we tied the straps to my belt."
"Smart move. Anyway~!" Gold lightly hopped up in the air as she spun herself around to walk properly. "Do you mind flying up to try and find everyone else? I can't find them anywhere."
"Yeah, one second." Silver unfolded his wings, then launched straight into the air, hovering about thirty feet up as he searched for Strength, Chariot, Ruby, Weiss, Blake or Yang in among the crowds of people walking around the station. After several seconds, he spotted the distinctive heavy grey metal of Strength's arms accompanied by Chariot's vibrant hair. Nearby was Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang, all seated on a bench. "I found them! Over there, sitting on the benches!" He called down to Gold, Rock and Dead Master, pointing in the direction of their friends.
"You heard him! Let's go!" Gold smiled, then called up to Silver. "Fly on ahead, let them know we're coming!"
"Sure thing!" Silver gave a thumbs up, then glided towards the awaiting girls.
"Oh, hey Silver! Where's Rock?" Chariot almost instantly spotted him as he approached, calling out to him as she waved her hand energetically.
"She's coming now. Everyone else is over there, on the ground." Silver stopped about ten feet above them, hovering with strong, steady strokes of his wings.
"Who else did you two invite? I thought you said it was just us, yourself and Rock?" Weiss raised an eyebrow, sounding curious but annoyed.
"Gold and Dead Master are with her, I called you before Rock got an answer from them. My apologies, Weiss." Silver inclined his head respectfully.
"There's no need to be so formal, Silver! We're here to have fun!" Yang beamed a wide smile, her hands on her hips as she bounced onto her feet. "Besides, the more the merrier, am I right?"
"Yang has a point, Weiss. Besides, I thought you already met Gold." Blake pointed out as she also rose to her feet.
"No, I haven't met Gold yet. Who is she, by chance?" Weiss crossed her arms, her gaze locked onto Silver for a reply to her question.
"Gold-senpai is Dead Master's older sister. She's a second year at Nova." Ruby answered, which seemed to satisfy, but also annoy Weiss.
"Oh please, are you that deeply obsessed with those cartoons that you're adding those ridiculous titles to everyone's names?" Weiss lectured Ruby, who's cheeks went slightly pink.
"They're not called cartoons..." Ruby mumbled, her gaze locked onto her lap. "It's anime..."
"Weiss." Silver's violet gaze was narrowed into slits. "They're called honorifics. Signs of respect and stature in Japanese culture."
"You too? Am I the only one that thinks they're childish cartoons? I can't even pronounce half of their names, let alone understand the language!" Weiss declared. "What's wrong with me having an opinion?"
"Well, by the sounds of it, it's not your opinion that's the problem: It's your attitude." Gold's voice suddenly spoke up, making everyone turn to see her with Rock and Dead Master. "You must be Weiss. I've heard a few things about you."
"And you must be Gold." Weiss replied in a stingy voice. "Oh, pardon me... Gold-senpai."
"No need for honorifics. I prefer Gold. Nothing else." Gold regarded Weiss sternly. "Okay?"
"Hey, hey! No more of this bullshit! I invited you all here to relax and have a good time! No fighting, or I'll have Silver fly you out over the end of the pier and drop you in the water!" Rock exclaimed, her eyes glinting purple.
Silver immediately facepalmed, knowing he would somehow be forced into actually doing it if things went sour between Weiss and Gold.
"How about we start over from square one? Shake hands and introduce yourselves. Politely." Blake glared at Weiss and Gold respectively as she emphasized her last word.
"Weiss Schnee." Weiss held out her hand respectfully, which Gold gave a sigh, then took it in her own.
"Gold." She introduced herself, but Blake cleared her throat pointedly at her lackluster introduction. "Black Gold Saw." She corrected herself, her lips pursed tightly.
"Leave the bullshit behind, and follow me. Okay? We're going this way." Rock pointedly stepped between the two girls, who were having a silent battle of wills. She took each of them by the arm, and linked elbows with them. "Silver, fly on ahead and find us a spot for our stuff, okay babe?" She called to Silver, who was still airborne.
"Alright, see you there." Silver replied as he gave an almighty downstroke of his wings, launching himself higher before flying in the direction of the nearby coastline, which was FULL of people already.
'Even if I have to throw one of them off the pier, I highly doubt they'll just let me grab them and fly off without a fight.' Silver thought to himself as he scanned the long stretch of sand for a clear space.
A/N: Ruby is an anime fan for this story, since she made a Kill La Kill reference in the first SBW. And since not everyone understands the difference between Anime and Cartoons, It made sense for Weiss to be the ignorant one :P
