Here's another chapter because I had it done. . .and because writing cures depression. - Total lie.
Ruby POV
"You're kidding, right?" Weiss looked between Date and Spencer incredulously. They shrugged.
"Nah, that's about it." Spencer said.
"Pretty much." Date affirmed. Weiss looked back at the two suitcases and shook her head.
"And I was thinking so hard about it, too." She sighed, disgusted. Yang snorted.
"Not everyone's as rich as you, Weiss."
"Blaine is." Cali muttered, and Anna nodded.
"Yeah, she's pretty loaded. She's only at Beacon because her parents make regular, and obscenely generous, donations. She has next to zero combat ability. She's pretty much dead weight in a fight."
"Dead weight made of gold." Cali said glumly, making me giggle. Weiss snapped her fingers.
"That's why her name seemed familiar! Blaine Archer, daughter of Clint and Robin Archer. They own Archer Industries, which produces dust fueled products, like Yang's car." Yang rubbed the Jag's hood and smiled affectionately.
"I'm gonna make sure to fill you up good." Spencer snickered and Date rolled his eyes.
"Mind out of the gutter, please." Yang suddenly clapped her hands.
"Alright! Get your bags in the trunk and let's go!" Just as Spencer was closing the trunk, we heard a familiar voice.
"I should've known it'd be you guys wailing like a bunch of idiots." I turned around and found Dante standing behind us with another girl, who was carrying a suitcase in each hand. Spencer snorted.
"Hey, thanks, tour guide. You totally left me hanging." Dante rolled her eyes.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I figured you needed more time to fawn over big, blonde, 'n' busty over there." Spencer blushed.
"Irrelevant!" Date smirked and shook his head.
"Totally relevant. Dude, if you'd stared any harder you'd have set her on fire." He huffed.
"Yeah, whatever. . .Assholes." The girl next to Dante said nothing, simply continued to silently absorb everything being said and done. Date nodded at her and she inclined her head.
"Skye." The corner of her mouth twitched up a bit, but she didn't smile.
"Date." Then came a familiar voice, scaring the shit out of everyone in attendance.
"NORAAAA!" Dante screamed a loud, shrill scream and jumped into Skye's arms.
"Gah! Who the hell is that and why is she so damn stealthy?!" Yang chuckled.
"Didn't you hear her? She's Nora. What's up, Nora?" Nora shrugged.
"I'm looking for Ren. We're playing city-wide hide and seek!" Weiss sweatdropped.
"By which you mean he ditched you, and now he's hiding from you." Nora shrugged.
"Yeah, pretty much." Then we heard a noise from above. It was a noise that simply defies explanation. It was like a cross between a bird call, someone gargling water, and singing.
We looked up and Ren grinned from his perch on the edge of a nearby building, sitting with one leg crossed over the other. Nora gasped and jabbed a finger at him.
"You've been stealthily following me, haven't you?!" He shrugged and laughed.
"Someone's got to keep you out of trouble."
"Where are Jaune and Pyrrha?" I asked. Ren's face paled and he shuddered.
"Please, please don't ask." I blushed and Yang laughed.
"Oh." Nora rolled a barrel over to where we were, then dragged a metal beam from a nearby construction site and leaned it on the barrel before stepping on one end.
"How long has that building been under construction?" Weiss wondered absently. Spencer chuckled.
"Ever since I blew it up this morning." Yang raised her eyebrows.
"Interesting, I blew it up a while ago. Well, the front anyway." Ren's eyes widened when he realized what Nora was doing .He got up and took off running. Nora pulled Magnhild out and transformed it into hammer form.
"Nora? I don't think that's a-" She ignored me and slammed Magnhild down on the other end of the beam, flinging herself up into the air and landing on the building before taking off after Ren.
". . .That was. . .Wow." Dante stared after them and shook her head. I nodded. Skye looked thoughtful.
"City-wide hide and seek, huh?" Dante grinned at her.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Skye snorted.
"Probably, just in more intelligent terms." Dante laughed and slapped her hard on the back, making her stumble.
"Oh, Skye, you joker. Keep it up and I'll have to kill you." She stopped laughing as she said the last two words. Yang quickly inserted herself between the two of them.
"Oooohkaayyyy! Everybody in the car!" Weiss shook her head.
"No way all of us will fit, and I have better things to do today that have nothing to do with dying, or worse. . .getting arrested." Spencer grinned.
"I could always sit on Yang's lap." He sounded so hopeful that it was almost painful when I said,
"Thank you for suggesting something that would kill us all." He sighed and looked around.
"I was hoping to avoid this, but may I ask who's the lightest out of all of you?" Anna pointed at Cali, but Dante shook her head.
"Nope, I'm the lightest, trust me." Skye nodded.
"She is surprisingly lightweight." A vein stood out on Dante's forehead.
"The hell do you mean by surprisingly?" Skye smirked.
"It means I expected you to be heavier."
"Why you dirty-" Yang dragged Dante away as she spewed death threats at the red headed girl. Weiss held up her hands.
"Hold one here. Why do you need to know?" He smirked and stepped back, taking off his coat, revealing to holsters on his hips and a pair of red and blue pistols.
"Watch closely, kids." He said with a wink.
He cracked his neck, rolled his shoulders, and then he unfurled his wings.
At a Nearby Store (3rd Person POV)
"Ugh, I can't believe you actually had sex with that douchebag, honey you could do so much better. I know this guy, who knows this other guy, who's cousin's girlfriend's brother has this friend who would totally make a good match for you." The attendant listened to her friend for a moment before replying. "Whaddaya mean you don't want to meet him? He's perfect for you!" She listened a while, then winced. "Okay, yes, I was the one who set you up with Jimmy in the first place, but come on! Where's your sense of adventure?" Then the bell announcing a customer's arrival sounded and the woman, who's name is Sharon, jumped. "Mmhm, yeah, you do that. Listen, I gotta go, customer." Then she hung up and plastered on a smile.
"Welcome to the Kinky Borbatusk! How can I. . ." She froze as she stared into deep, bright green eyes. ". . .Help you?" The owner of the eyes smiled sweetly.
"Why thank you! In fact, there is something you can do for me." Sharon blinked rapidly and stuttered.
"U-um, w-w-what can I h-help with?" The sweet smile became toxic.
"Die for me, please." No one even heard the screams.
Ugh, I have nothing to say. Too depressed.
