Yo Peeps, GMG back with the next chapter of PR. Only two things to handle, pertaining to reviews.

A guest asked why Weiss was eliminated. Summoning a giant ass wall of ice takes some serious energy. Given there were three members of RWBY to BRNZ's one, she figured that she could give the other two an edge and they'd still have a numerical edge, which proved handy when Ruby and May knocked each other out.

A quick thanks to Jack Inqu. Aside from the nice things you said, this actually has to do with the comment "Hopefully there aren't any hard feelings." It gave me an idea...

Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY...

Normally, the best thing to do after a battle was to rest. Team RWBY wasn't very normal, nor was there company. Team BRNZ sat with them at noodle stand set up in the fair below the Amity Coliseum. Yang was laughing boisterously, having an animated conversation with Roy and Brawnz, the two guys laughing along.

Weiss and Nolan's conversation wasn't anywhere near as loud, but he seemed appreciative as she gave him a critique of his attempt to take her down. He wasn't incredibly prideful and help was appreciated.

Ruby, Blake, and May were speaking lowly, debating about one novel or another. The initial reason for the volume had actually been when may had brought up having read the first volume of the Ninjas of Love. Blake had lit up and started chatting earnestly with the sniper, Ruby giggling beside her.

May smiled as she discussed with Blake about the... plot. Well, it did have some. She was honestly surprised by the story having some actual substance. From what Ghira and Kali had been implying she thought it'd be little more than porn. It had plot and the characters were multifaceted.

"Mind if we join in, boys?" A voice asked, grabbing some attention from the table.

Brawnz turned, chortling still from Yang's latest crack and nodded with a grin at the newcomers. "Of course, ladies. Team NDGO is always welcome to join us."

Nebula, Dew, Gwen, and Olivia all returned the smile, sitting in the last swathe of four chairs. Ruby, who sat closest to them, turned and greeted them. "May told us about you girls."

Nebula nodded, flicking her purple hair out of her eyes, the one long portion resting against her temple. "I'm not surprised. I'm Nebula," she said, holding out a hand.

Ruby took it. "Ruby."

Introductions were handled in the next few minutes and noodles were ordered. As they were dished out, they were paid for and summarily devoured. Even Weiss, with her propriety, had to struggle not to inhale it, like a certain blonde was. Yang wasn't even the worse. Ruby and May were snickering as Blake seemed to annihilate her own bowl, laden with numerous fish.

The heiress rolled her eyes before turning back to her own bowl. After a few minutes, she looked up to see Gwen smiling flirtatiously. "Hello!~"

Yang looked up, having heard someone use her patented greeting. When she saw the other blonde flirting with Weiss, she growled. "She's taken," she grit out.

Gwen laughed. "I know, I was gonna ask if you both would like to hang out with us four."

Nebula pushed the girl playfully. "Ignore her. She's a firtatious minx by trade. I'd swear it was her semblance if it weren't for other things."

To her side, Olivia laughed. "Anyone who knew would ask you just which of those "other things" you were referring to."

XXXGMGXXX

Lunch finished, the teams parted ways, May straying from her own team to join RWBY. The five walked about the fair for a while before Yang took Weiss by the arm and spirited her away from the others, laughing at the half-hearted protests from the heiress. She waved at Ruby as she left. "Y'all girls have fun!"

Blake watched with a dry sort of amusement. "Do you think she knows?"

A shake of the head from Ruby gave her an answer. "No, besides, we're not all together together. That's just Yang being Yang."

May looked a bit downtrodden at that last part. A hand on her shoulder made her look up, her eye meeting Blake's golden ones. "The only reason for that is so we can get to know you better first. We don't want to jump into things and I doubt you want to either."

"Yeah," May replied. "I get that." Smiling, she looked about the fair. "So, what next?"

Ruby must have spotted something as she started bouncing in place before grabbing the other two girls and pulling them along. In a matter of seconds, they were all posted up in front of one of the water gun booths, where you shoot the target and a counter rises. A quick exchange of lien and Ruby and May began. When Blake had seen the size of the target, she refused to compete, knowing the two snipers were far more accurate.

The unsurprising thing was when May thoroughly thrashed Ruby at the game. Ruby may have a sniper-scythe, but May specialized in normally just her rifle. By the time Ruby got a bead on the small patterned button, May's counter was a quarter of the way to the top. When May's set up rang out with her victory, Ruby threw her arms up and turned on the stool, pouting.

Blake patted her head, hardly sympathetic. She had seen Ruby unashamedly doing the same to her sister and Weiss in the last few days. The heiress had been especially easy to goad, having a competitive streak a mile wide and Yang was stubborn. In all the years of their child hood, she had never beaten Ruby, but she was hardly going to stop trying now.

Now, for some who followed competitive gaming, the term salty runback truly applied when Ruby leveled a glare at the two and said, "Again."

May shrugged and Blake laughed.

A minute later and Ruby was once again sulking. Blake put an arm around the girl and pulled her up. "Stop being such a grouch when you finally lose this stupid game. Besides, there are other things to try."

"Like the other various rigged games these people run," May asked. "This one of the least rigged, but that's only because the prizes are small and it's mostly for people to compete."

Blake smiled. "Actually I was gonna suggest quiet. Seeing as we've been surrounded by noise since we entered that stadium and my ears are killing me." A slight jerk of motion caused her to look down at Ruby who was dozing off on her feet. "It also looks like Ruby needs the rest."

May nodded. "Well, I'll let you get to it, then."

"Come."

She blinked. "What?"

"Come along," Blake repeated. "I was gonna lend you some books anyways and we can talk some more." Smirking as Ruby drooped a bit more, she readjusted her grip on the girls shoulders, before hooking her other arm under the girl's legs. "The things I do for you," she whispered affectionately, planting a kiss on the girl's forehead.

She heard a weird kind of strangled noise and looked up at May who was staring. "Oh my Dust, you two are so adorable."

Blake blushed. "Not really. That's more Ruby's thing." Coughing awkwardly, she turned and started walking. "Let's go."

May laughed as she fell into step behind her.

End...

Another chapter down. Aside from my ever present reminder of the Discord chat, there's nothing else to say. Adieu for now!
