Yo Peeps, GMG here with chapter 5 of PR. It's been a bit since the last chapter, but hey, things came up. Bayonetta added to smash 4, so I was practicing with her. So, while I don't normally recommend this…
Listen to Morning Mood, a classical piece, before reading this chapter. It'll sound familiar for most of y'all.
Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY…
Sunlight played through the window, casting a light glow about the dorm room. Its light warm and inviting. The four girls lay in their beds, resting easily. The only two sisters in the room making considerably more noise than either of their partners. Blake was snuggled comfortably under her covers, unconsciously basking in the warmth the duvet offered, a smile on her sleeping face. Her comfortable sleep was interrupted by a loud thump. Jolting awake, her eyes flew open before squinting at the bright light.
What could've possibly had made that noise. Looking to either side, she saw Weiss and Yang were still asleep, but Ruby was nowhere to be found. Concerned, she shed her warm blanket, placing her feet on the soft carpet and standing. A familiar weight assailed her body, as she tried to brush off her sluggishness. Hobbling over to Yang's bed, the Faunus poked the blonde in the side, causing the brawler to jerk. "Wake up, Yang," she hissed.
Yang groaned, rolling onto her side. In an amusing display, her hand fumbled around, before finding purchase in the mattress and allowing the woman to push herself up slightly, hair falling around her face. Bringing up her free hand, she pushed her locks aside and her lilac eyes stared at Blake, tired. "What's up?"
"Do you know where Ruby might be?" The Faunus asked. "She's not in bed and I heard a loud thump. Do you think she got breakfast?"
Yang chuckled. "So it's happened again." At Blake's confused look, she grinned. "Look under her bed."
"Why?"
Shooing her, Yang pushed herself up into a sitting position. "Trust me. Look under her bed."
Blake nodded, a bit unsure still, but complied. Walking over, she kneeled by the bed, and bent over, her amber eyes immediately making out the slumbering form of her new leader. Ruby was snoring lightly, face smooshed against the carpet, drooling lightly. The sight elicited a giggle from Blake, the cuteness of it all getting to the faunus.
Reaching out, she shook the girl's arm. Ruby stirred, silver eyes blinking open. Looking around, she sighed. "Not again…" Grumbling to herself, she pushed Blake back lightly, crawling out from under the bed. "Stupid semblance."
"Morning, Sis!" greeted Yang, waving. "Woke up on the wrong side of the bed?"
Glaring at Yang, Ruby spoke, "That stopped being funny after the third time."
Both quieted down when Weiss started stirring. A mischievous smile lit up Yang's face as she dug around her suitcase, tossing something to Ruby. "You know what to do!" All Blake had caught was a metallic glint before Ruby's nimble hands snatched the item from the air.
Ruby gestured for Blake to back up to where Yang was. Blake and Yang watched as Ruby lifted the item, a whistle, to her lips, leaning close to the waking Heiress. As soon as the ice blue eyes opened, a shrill ringing sounded, causing Weiss to jump in fright, smacking Ruby out of instinct. The young leader squawked in pain before laughing, Weiss having jumped her and giving her a thorough scolding.
A light chuckle rumbled in Blake's chest, a smile pulling her lips wide. She watched as Yang extricated the heiress from her sister and calmed Weiss down enough to explain that it had been a joke, a harmless prank to rile her up. Blake was keenly aware of Yang's choice to not state her part in said joke.
Weiss, although not in a rage anymore, was still rather incensed. "What could you possibly want that could cause you to blow a whistle right next to my ear?" She looked pointedly at Ruby, when she asked this.
"Class starts in a little bit," Ruby explained. "And we need to get situated. We didn't do much to settle in last night. We still need to unpack." Behind her, Yang and Blake held up their luggage, the latter's spilling out onto the floor.
"And clean," Blake added sheepishly. Gathering her things up, she closed her suitcase and set it on one of the beds. "We should get started."
The four set about get everything put up. Posters and paintings went up, books were stowed away, curtains were altered… Well, Ruby hadn't meant to cut them, but the patch work repair did give it a bit of character. As they emptied the last of their belongings, they ran into a problem. In the center of the room, were the beds, pushed together, with one leaning atop another.
"We might need to lose some stuff," Weiss suggested.
Ruby's eyes lit up as an idea came to mind. "Or we could lose the beds and replace them with BUNK BEDS!"
The Faunus had to concede that she had a point. "It does seem efficient."
"And extremely awesome!" Yang added.
Pinching her brow, Weiss sighed. "I guess that settles it."
With a bit of creativity and engineering, two bunkbeds emerged from four single beds. Using books for support, Ruby's bed stacked atop Blake's, a few jostles to check for security and the two nodded contentedly. Meanwhile, Yang had pulled some parts she kept to maintain her Bumblebee, the motorcycle that lay in wait for whenever she felt the need to get out. Pulling out a few spare scraps of metal, she used a combination of her semblance and fire dust to soften the metal, so she could roll it into shape. Make shift nails in hand, she pulled out a hammer and dug the nails into the frame of the first bed, before lifting it over the second and hammering the frame down, so that the beds were nailed together.
Weiss let out an impressed sound, stunned by the quick and stable plan that the blonde had used. She half expected the blonde to hang the bed off the ceiling with rope. Their beds done, they checked the times, classes starting soon. Materials in hand, they all departed for their first class of the year.
End…
With that, I'd like to apologize for the late update. Aside from the smash comment, other things came up. Like… losing the flash drive with this chapter. Found it, luckily, so I finished the chapter and posted it ASAP. See y'all round! Adieu!
