NOTICE ON ALL OF MY STORIES (This will be the last notice on this for those who have seen it before): Hey, guys, so I wanted to let you all know that I've opened up a Tumblr now. To be honest, I don't know what I'll be doing on Tumblr, but it's another place where you can find me.
Also, I opened up a Pátreon. I know it may be odd to do so, but things have been a little tough in terms of living costs, but besides that, if you visit my page there, I do have rewards for people who help out. The biggest kind of reward is writing requests. I can't put links, but if you search up ShadowNightblade on Pátreon, you'll find me there. I know it's a lot to ask for, but even visiting the page would be awesome, especially if you want to know the rewards for supporting me on there.
Here's chapter 35 everyone.
"Ruby, what did you call us in here for exactly?" Blake asked as she and the rest of the team were outside in the courtyard.
"We are in serious need for a team day!" Ruby exclaimed. "So we're all gonna take turns with suggesting something to do for fun today. And it's mandatory, so you can't get out of this, Weiss."
The heiress was taken aback by that. "Excuse me, but that is abusing your leadership role. You know this kind of thing isn't mandatory. And yes, I would be fine with it, but not when you try to force us to go on a day of…whatever it is you want to do."
"Oh…It isn't?" Ruby scratched the back of her head. "Oh well, we're still going to have this team day. And besides what happened…um, that one day we went to Vale was fun."
Weiss knew what day she meant, which made her sigh. "Y-Yes, I suppose it was fun…in the beginning." It may have been a day that was meant for fun, but with Velvet getting hit by that car, it wasn't exactly a day Weiss enjoyed remembering.
Yang noticed the heiress' reaction and wrapped an arm around her. "Hey, come on. Let's not think about that. Instead, let's come up with an idea for today."
Weiss nodded, not wanting to argue against it at the moment. That got Ruby a little more excited. "Yeah! Okay, so…why don't we watch a movie? I don't feel like we ever do that."
"I've never really enjoyed movies. A play would be better." Weiss said.
Yang groaned. "Ugh, plays are boring though."
The heiress rolled her eyes. "Of course you would say that. You just can't appreciate the finer entertainment in life."
Blake sighed. "Instead of spending the day arguing with each other about this, maybe we should think of something we can all enjoy?"
Ruby nodded in agreement. "Exactly. So a movie is a no go and maybe a play some other time. Hmm, how about something more relaxing?"
Blake spoke up. "There's a nice and quiet coffee place I know about, if Yang will be okay with that sort of thing." She glanced at her partner.
Yang rolled her eyes. "Just because I wasn't too into wanting to go to a play, I'm fine with a nice quiet day out." She then mumbled the next part. "I wish I could bring Coco too."
She was quiet enough that they couldn't hear what she said, so Ruby raised her fist in the air. "Yeah! Okay, now we've got a good plan for team day. So, are you guys all set to head to town?"
"Uh, just a minute. I need to grab something from inside. Just look for an airship pilot to take us into town, and I'll be back in time to board it." Weiss said as she ran back inside the school.
Blake looked over as the heiress ran inside. "What's up with her? She looked ready enough to go to town."
Yang had a feeling why Weiss was running inside, so she had to come up with something. "Oh you know her. She's probably putting on makeup or something."
Ruby thought about it too and nodded. "Yeah…Um, she's probably going to find her card too so she can buy stuff in town."
"Okay, well, I thought we were just going to the coffee shop." Blake said.
"Are you really gonna question Weiss about being prepared for going into town?" Yang chuckled. "Now come on. Let's just find an airship with a pilot." Yang said as she took Blake and Ruby's arms to head to the airship docking area.
While she was being dragged, Blake glanced over her shoulder at the school.
Weiss got over to team CFVY's dorm and knocked on it. After a couple of seconds, Coco opened the door. "Hey, Weiss. You here to see Vel?"
"C-Coco…" Weiss grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the room, closing the door behind them. "You know not to mention that kind of thing out in the open." Weiss whispered to her in an aggravated tone.
"Uh, you didn't look into the room, did you?" Coco asked. "The only other person in there besides me is Velvet." She felt Weiss let her go.
"O-Oh, um…sorry." Weiss scratched the back of her head. "I just need to talk to her about something I'll be doing today."
"No problem. Come on." Coco said as she opened the door and walked in. The heiress followed close behind and Coco grinned. "Hey, Vel…Your girl is here."
Weiss yelped at that and slammed the door shut. "Coco! That isn't funny!"
Velvet was surprised by that. "What's going on here?"
Coco chuckled. "Chill out, Weiss. I made sure no one was around before we walked inside. And besides, I'd just say that I was messing with you if someone heard."
Weiss groaned. "I'd still appreciate you not doing something like that. I agreed to tell the others, but not like that."
Coco sighed. "Alright, no more jokes like that. Sorry. Anyways, you wanted to talk to Vel, right? Do you want me to leave the room for a bit?"
"You don't have to-." Weiss was cut off.
"Nope. You talk, and I'll be getting something to eat. Have fun, you two." Coco waved them off as she left the room.
Velvet blinked a few times. "So…what was that all about? One minute I'm talking with Coco, the next you two walk in and now Coco is out of the room."
Weiss let out a smile at that and locked the door to make sure no one would walk in on them. She walked over and sat next to Velvet. "I needed to see you before Ruby could drag me into a team day."
"Oh, you're heading out with them on a team day. Well that's…good." Velvet frowned a little, which didn't escape Weiss' sight when she tried to turn away.
"Velvet, what's wrong?" Weiss scooted over and placed her hand on Velvet's.
"I'm sorry if this sounds a little selfish, but…I kind of wanted to spend some time with you." Velvet said as she turned back to face the heiress.
Weiss sighed. "Believe me, I would love to stay here with you too…but Ruby called for a team day, and if I don't get, well, I can tell Yang will probably be angry with me. And I'd rather not deal with that, but…I still wish you could come with me."
Velvet liked how Weiss was able to express her emotions even more than she would before. "Do you have to leave right now?"
"Um, I'm not sure." Weiss moved her hand behind her back and opened up the small bag she kept there. She got her scroll out and looked through her contacts. "Let me see how long it'll be till we go. I know they were looking for an airship with a pilot, but maybe the pilot might not be going into town yet."
It only took a few moments for Ruby to answer her scroll. "Hey, Weiss. We found an airship to take into town. Are you…uh, almost done with whatever you're doing?"
"That depends. When is the pilot ready to go?" Weiss inquired.
"I'll go ask, but why did you wanna know?" Ruby asked.
Weiss sighed and whispered. "Am I on speaker?"
"No." Ruby answered.
"Good. Listen, I honestly would like to spend a little time with Velvet before we go. I know it may be a little much to ask for, since you did want to-." Weiss stopped when she heard a giggled coming from Ruby. "What are you laughing at, you dolt?"
"It's just funny that you're asking me about waiting a bit. I don't have a problem with that. Now one sec." Ruby was silent for a bit on Weiss' end. "Excuse me, but do you know how long you'd be able to stay behind till you go to town?" Weiss heard Ruby ask to the pilot. "Oh, okay, thanks."
"What did the pilot say?" Weiss inquired.
"She can honestly go whenever. Beacon's really cool about the airships the students can request for. So how long do you think you're going to need, Weiss? Remember, it is still team day…and you'll be able to go with us, right?" Ruby asked.
Weiss let out a small smile at how Ruby wanted her to be a part of the team day. "Of course. I promise to not be long. In fact, does thirty minutes sound okay?"
"Yeah! No problem, Weiss. I'll let Blake and Yang know you're gonna be a bit busy." Ruby assured.
"Thank you, Ruby. I'll be on the airship after the thirty minutes." Weiss said.
"Yup, we'll see you soon, Weiss." Ruby said and ended the call.
"It looks like we've got some time to spend with each other." Weiss happily said as she leaned over to kiss the rabbit Faunus.
Velvet leaned in as well and kissed the heiress on the lips. After a few moments of kissing, Velvet pulled away and gently ran her hands through Weiss' ponytail. "It's funny how Coco was able to tell that we'd want some alone time."
Weiss blushed from Velvet running her hands through her hair. "She's dating Yang. I'm not too surprised by that kind of perception."
"True…Um, so how do you feel? You know, about telling people about us." Velvet stopped running her hands in her hair to have a serious talk about it.
"It's better, and honestly, I'm glad you all convinced me that it was a good idea, especially with how we messed with Yang for once. So at least she knows we won't stand for any teasing if she's going to try that." Weiss replied.
Velvet let out a giggle and nodded, but then leaned back in and kissed Weiss on the lips. Though that time, she pulled the heiress on the bed with her, making Weiss blush heavily at that. The rabbit Faunus wasn't going to waste any time, with how she only had the heiress for about half an hour. Weiss had closed her eyes at that point and savored the moments she was having before she had to go out for team day.
After a couple of moments, Weiss pulled away and panted. "W-What was that for?"
Velvet giggled and leaned her right hand up to caress Weiss' cheek. "Do you really have to ask?"
Weiss smiled and kissed her cheek. "I know we're on your bed right now, but…would you like to talk with someone…my mother?"
Velvet was surprised by that. "Oh, you wanted us to talk to her about the beach house?"
"U-Uh, well…yes, but at the same time, I wanted her to just talk with you about, well…no…no, never mind." Weiss sighed and rested on top of the rabbit Faunus.
Velvet wrapped her arms around Weiss and pulled her in for another kiss, but it only lasted a couple of seconds. "We'll tell her when you're ready. For now…just stay with me. I want us to enjoy these thirty minutes together."
Weiss blushed and nodded in agreement, resting her head on Velvet's collarbone. The heiress snuggled up on top of Velvet and gasped a little when she felt the rabbit Faunus move her arm up to caress her hair with her left hand.
"W-Was that not okay?" Velvet said as she stopped.
"I-I was just not expecting it…I do like it though, so…continue, but only if you want." Weiss smiled at the feeling of the continued embrace.
"So, any idea on what else we're gonna do out in town? Cause you know we aren't just sitting in a coffee shop all day." Yang noted.
"I was just thinking of winging it afterwards." Ruby answered while looking down at her scroll.
"What are you watching on there, Rubes?" Yang asked.
"I…don't have a lot of people saved on this scroll…I think you might've been right about trying to make more friends." Ruby sighed.
Yang patted her sister's back while sitting next to her on the airship. "Aw, don't be so down about it, Rubes. Just look at all the friends you've made so far."
Blake spoke up. "You know she's right, but what brought that on?"
Ruby shrugged. "I love Crescent Rose, but…well Yang was right. And meeting you, JNPR and CFVY…I don't know, I'm just a lot happier knowing I'll be fighting alongside you all on missions. And I'm two years younger than all the first years."
"Yeah, and that's cause you earned it, sis. And hey, you know once we come back from break, we might actually be able to go on missions. So that's gonna be the best time to show people why you're here earlier than anyone else." Yang smiled.
"Not only that, but sparring classes that Ms. Goodwitch has us participate in could be a good place to prove that as well." Blake remarked.
Before Ruby could reply, they heard the sounds of heels against the airship's floor, making them turn to see the heiress walking in. "Weiss! Yay, we can finally get team day started!" Ruby exclaimed.
Weiss was stunned by the sudden yelling from her partner. "R-Ruby, could you not yell so loud?" She groaned and sat on the opposite side of Yang. "Sorry for taking so long by the way. I had other matters to attend to."
"Like what?" Blake asked.
"U-Uh, well I forgot that I misplaced a few of my things, so I wanted to make sure they were in a spot that I can find them in when we got back. You know…rearranging." Weiss lied.
Blake's ears twitched under her bow for a slight moment, though the others didn't noticed. "Hmm, well you're here now. So that's good, I suppose."
Weiss sighed to herself, as she thought about Blake being the only one on her team that doesn't know about her relationship. The biggest question rang in her head a few times, and that was whether she even wanted to tell her at that point.
"We're ready to go!" Ruby called out to the pilot, who nodded and began to take off.
The trip to town wasn't really exciting, but Ruby was still happy she could have a team day, since as the leader, she wanted her team to have days where they could relax and get to know each other. "Okay, team! First order of business is to find that coffee shop, so Blake. Lead the way!"
Blake looked to Yang and gave her a questioning look, and the blonde chuckled. "You heard her. Lead on, Blake."
Weiss watched as Blake shrugged and walked in a direction, which she assumed was where the coffee shop was. "Wait, so what are we doing afterwards?" Weiss asked the same question Yang did before.
"Oh you know, we're gonna wing it." Ruby answered while walking behind Blake.
The heiress groaned at that. "I should've known you weren't going to be prepared after how it went earlier." She said while following her team.
"Vale is a big place, so I wouldn't be surprised if we found something to-." Yang stopped when she walked right into Ruby. "Ow!" Yang took a step back and saw her sister wasn't moving. "Rubes, why did you just stop?"
Weiss gasped when she saw what Ruby was staring at. "Another robbery out here?" She asked as she looked at the dust shop that appeared to have been broken into.
"This just reminds me of when that Torchwick guy tried robbing that old man." Ruby looked angry. "How could people do this kind of thing?"
Weiss crossed her arms. "I've seen enough of this to know people are foolish. We live in a world with monsters, yet people like the White Fang still try to cause pain to others."
Blake's ears perked up a bit at that, making her bow twitch. "And why did you bring up the White Fang? This was probably done by that person Ruby mentioned."
"Maybe, but I wouldn't be surprised if they had something to do with it. That group…they're just horrible." Weiss sighed. "Why do they believe what they do is good? They're just evil."
Blake looked upset and shook her head. "Weiss, people aren't evil. Grimm, yes, but not people. They're just misguided."
"Maybe, but even so…people like them give Faunus a bad name." Weiss thought about how Velvet's life could be tough because the White Fang were making people think of Faunus even worse than they already have.
Even though Weiss wasn't exactly saying terrible things about Faunus in particular, still hearing her talking down about the White Fang wasn't something Blake liked hearing. "Well I still don't think the White Fang has anything to do with this."
Yang spoke up. "Okay, well…how about instead of talking about the robbery the police are dealing with, we go on and continue our team day?"
Ruby nodded, but took one last glance at the dust shop. "Yeah, let's get back to it. Blake, do you know how far the coffee shop is from here?"
"Yes…" Blake turned away from the dust shop and walked in the direction of the coffee shop, but she was still upset about the negative talk about the White Fang.
The others followed her, but unbeknownst to them, there was a blonde boy who was sitting on a rooftop watching them. He was holding a banana with his tail and chuckled at how some other police officers were looking for him and couldn't find him. "Huh…a bow that twitches?"
You guys know who that is. Also, I'm very sorry for taking so long on this again.
To JJ- Yeah, that was a fun little bit to write with teasing Yang. And I have a good plan on how to have them tell everyone, so the pacing is right in my head. I'm excited and worried about writing the double date, but it should still be fun. And again, sorry for not updating this for a while.
To the guest on chapter 34- Ha, I don't think it'll get an M rating, and maybe she'll pass out. Thanks for the review.
I hoped you all enjoyed chapter 35. Remember, reviews are welcomed, but not required. See you all in chapter 36.
