Ruby

Cracking her eyes open, Ruby woke up to see an unfamiliar sight this year, she was the first one awake. Unlike their first year at beacon when Ruby had woken everyone up in the morning with her whistle earning her complaints and groans for her efforts. After Ruby had turned sixteen she was hit with an all encompassing need to sleep as much as her time schedule would allow leading her to be just about always the last one up, behind Yang of course who could sleep through the building collapsing around her if need be.

Ruby looked at her scroll to reveal the time being 6:13 AM. About to put the scroll down Ruby noticed a notification flashing in the top right hand corner. Frowning Ruby opened it up to unveil the reminder she had set for herself about the Grimm hunt set for Thursday at 7:00 AM. Dazedly checking the date on the off chance that it might be Thursday, Ruby happily allowed herself to start to nod back to sleep reasoning that since the scroll had said that today was indeed Thursday then there was no need to get up because classes didn't start for a few hours and there not being any hunt today there was no need to get up this early anyway.

Ruby's eyes flung themselves open, Nope, nope, nope I did not screw up this badly Ruby once again checked the date and verifying that it was indeed the day of the hunt groaned. How long does it take to get to the Hunt location? What was it? Twenty minutes? And the time is? 6:15. Great job, Ruby Rose. You now have 45 minutes to get your team up, ready and to the hunting sight. Yeah I'm so screwed.

Jumping out of her bed Ruby was about to start yelling to get her teams attention and possibly getting out her trusty old whistle but decided against it. Instead she walked quietly over to Weiss, her feet padding softly against the ground. She lightly, tenderly touched Weiss' shoulder and gave her the slightest of shakes "Weiss its time to wake up." Ruby said.

Weiss

Light was all she could see, and not that horrid blinding light that makes you squint in pain, but a soft warm light filtered in by what looked to be dark waves gently caressing her vision slowly warming up her eyes to the idea of the morning light as she woke up.

Without thinking and just feeling that she wanted to touch one of these magnificent waves she lifted her hand and started to caress the beautiful waves oddly enough they didn't feel like waves at all but strands of something, but strands of what? Weiss' eyes focused to take in a scene she did not expect. Standing in front of her was Ruby dressed in her pajamas, and it looked like she was the one who had woken her up. Judging by the hand she had on Weiss' shoulder. Though the part that was drawing her attention the most was where exactly her hand was, Weiss had her hand cupping the curve of the right side of Ruby's head gently playing with the strands of Ruby's hair that she found there. The real oddity was the look of utter bliss on Ruby's face as she did this. Ruby had her eyes closed (thankfully), a blush covering her cheeks and a small grin that resonated pure happiness.

A small part of Weiss, the part hidden under a thick layer of ice in her heart wanted to let this continue for as long as physically possible, but the other part, the ice surrounding her heart decided this had to end with as little face lost as possible. Unfortunately for Weiss, it was early and she had just woken up, so her mental capacities were not up to par just yet.

"Ruby? What are you doing?" Weiss asked as she lifted her hand from Ruby's head. Ruby paused opened her eyes then blushed so hard she gave the deepness of the red of her cape something to be jealous about. Her mouth dropped from the grin to a small 'O' and in a flash of roses disappeared from Weiss' field of view all the while saying "Sorrysorrysorrywakeeveryoneelseupthanks!" all in one jumbled together word. Feeling a strong blush of her own rising Weiss rose to wake the black haired ninja and blond brawler.

"Wake up!" Weiss yelled at the other bunk bed. Jumping up, Blake looked around "What's happening?" she asked. "Nothing, just that it's your job to wake up Yang now." Weiss replied, smirking slightly. Sighing Blake simply nodded and got to work in an attempt to wake up Yang.

Weiss heard a click as the door to the washroom opened up to reveal a still slightly blushing Ruby prepared for the day in her classic black and red combat skirt enhanced uniform with the cape topping off the outfit quite nicely "Okay we need to get ready quick today! As in everyone out the door in the next 16 minutes quick!" Ruby stated to all who would listen in their room. What is she talking about? Oh well if it really is that urgent we might as well not waste time and just get on with it and ask her later. Weiss rushed into the washroom to get prepared. As she was pulling on her outfit she wondered Why did I enjoy touching Ruby like that? She obviously liked it, so is it because she liked it and I want her to be happy? Or did I just enjoy touching Ruby so… intimately.

"Weiss, hurry up. Yang and I need to get in there still." Blake said through the door. Snapping out of her thoughts, Weiss opened the door and quickly switched places with Blake. Yang had yet to get ready, but at least she was out of bed, which was a huge improvement to when she had gone into the washroom.

Once they had all finished getting ready the four team members gathered at the door "Alright team, lets go!" Ruby yelled. "Ruby now that we're ready to go, were exactly are we going, and why were we in such a rush?" Weiss questioned. I swear if this was some idiotic drill she made up… Weiss thought. Weiss narrowed her eyes as Ruby nervously glanced at all of them. "Well… today is the day of the Grimm hunt and it starts in about 17 minutes. I may have slept in and forgot to set an alarm." Ruby quietly said. You absolute dunce! Why am I not surprised? Come to think of it that's not even enough time to make it to the Grimm hunt without going at an all out run. Weiss mind was full of these thoughts and decided to make them known. "You dunce! We don't have enough time to get there now!" "Yeah, we should probably get going now, and quickly to." Ruby said her voice rising slightly. "Since you all know the stakes now. Lets GOOOOOO!" Ruby cried as she disappeared in a cloud of rose petals. "Actually isn't there a bus route that we can take and get there in about five minutes?" asked Blake. "Nah that's less fun. After RUBYYY!" Yang said, grabbing a hold of Blake's hand and dragging a defeated looking Blake with her. "Why, Yang?! WHYYYyyy…" Blake's scream growing quieter with distance. Sighing at her team, Weiss quickly followed Blake's advice and caught the nearest train for The Grimm hunt.

Once Weiss got off the bus she was met with the sight of every pair of partners of all of the teams except Yang and Blake ready to go on their launch platforms. Ruby was panting lightly holding her knees on the launch platform with what appeared to be a white rose emblem to indicate it as Ruby's and Weiss' platform. Weiss walked over to Ruby "Didn't you know there was a bus here? Don't tell me you used your semblance to get here." Weiss asked. Maybe that was why there was so much chaos on the side of the road, and so many rose petals. In hindsight that should have been obvious actually. "There was a bus?!" Ruby spluttered.

At the last minute possible Yang showed up grinning from ear to ear looking no worse for wear after the run there. Although Blake on the other hand looked ragged and mentally worn from the experience of being forcefully dragged behind Yang on a near sprint all the way to the sight of the Grimm Hunt. "Please," pant, pant "No more running!" Blake pleaded looking at Weiss and Ruby for help.

"Unfortunately for you Miss Belladonna, The Hunt will be starting as soon as I give my explanation which will be very short indeed." Professor Port stated. A groan emanated from Blake. I feel bad for Blake, she just had to love such an energetic girl, such as Yang. I wonder if my future significant other will be that energetic? No, he will probably very respectable and over all very beneficial to the company. I wonder if Ruby is looking for someone? Why would I think that?" Weiss sighed thoroughly confused with her own thoughts she focused on the Professors explanation.
