"W-what?!" Ruby asked with shock in her voice. She couldn't believe that Penny was her new roommate! Why Penny?!
"I'm sorry to hear about your team…" Penny said as she looked down. Ruby looked at her boots in sadness as tears rolled down her face. "But I'm here now! So just forget about them!" Ruby looked back up with anger written on her face.
"What do you mean 'Just forget about them'?! They were my family!" Ruby clenched her fists as more tears rolled down her face.
"I'm sorry, Ruby. I didn't mean it to come out that way. I meant just try not to think about it so you don't cry." Ruby unclenched her fists.
Later that night, Ruby was in the bathroom brushing her teeth, getting ready for bed. As she exited the bathroom silently, she saw Penny sharpening her swords. She didn't want to say anything, though she felt like there was no reason to sharpen them if they had no missions that were assigned. She waited until Penny was done and then climbed up to her top bunk. Penny laid down on Yang's bed and covered herself with the blanket.
"Goodnight, Ruby."
