It had been a week since the shipwreck, and Weiss found herself adjusting well. Sometimes she would watch movies with Ruby, or television shows and although she would never admit it, those times sitting next to Ruby were the highlight of her week. Sometimes, just occasionally, she would let her mind drift away from the show, from the town, from everything, and just feel the brunette curled up beside her. At other times she read or Yang would stay in the shop as Ruby spent the day on Myrtenaster, and have Weiss help out where she could. Primarily, Weiss would learn the names and prices of the shops inventory. She learned quickly, although Yang and Ruby still made a list of what they had, along with prices.

"Could you watch the shop solo for the day?" Yang threw on her jacket as she headed for the door, pausing. Ruby was out shopping for the week, intending to come home and take charge of the shop front. "You can start thinking of it as rent. You work for us until the boat is done. Then you pay us for the boat. How're you gonna do that, by the way?"

Weiss froze. Her bank details were under her real name. All her money was under her real name. She couldn't write them a check, a bank transfer? No they'd see her account. "Is there a Bank of Beacon in town?"

"Half an hour away on Bumblebee."

"Cash withdrawal. When you finish Myrtenaster. I'll do it then."

"And you can afford it?"

"Yes."

"Alright then. We shouldn't need to order in any parts, so she should be ready in about a month. She was banged up pretty badly. Send Ruby my way when she gets back!"

The first day went well, even if it was rather uneventful. A blonde boy stopped by, asking after Ruby, and was directed to the docks. It was a few days later when the phone rang.

"Hello?" Weiss picked up the phone. Her benefactors were both at the docks, and she spoke quietly into the receiver. "Rose and Xiao Long residence?"

There was silence on the other end, followed by a confused "Who's this?"

"I... Uh..." stammered a flustered Weiss. "I'm a friend of Ruby's!" She rushed. "I shipwrecked... and I'm staying here while Myr... my yacht's repaired."

"I... see." The voice said softly. "So Ruby and Yang are out? When they get back, tell them Blake will call at around eight." There was a click as the voice hung up.

Slowly, Weiss placed the phone back in its receiver. Perplexed, Weiss returned to the shop front, imprinting the message for the sisters in her mind.

It was getting and out of the damaged Yacht that was difficult for Ruby. Their repair shed was small; it didn't have a ramp to slide the boats onto land. Yang fixed the grips to the underside of the boat for Ruby to activate the lift, suspending the boat over the water. Once Ruby was inside, she was fine, she wasn't going to fall. The boat protected her. When she was on the grating on each side of the shed, she had the railings to keep her from the water. She just had to not look at the depth of the water below her, and she could make it to the ramp the sisters used to get inside. The ramp which had no railings. Pale, Ruby clutched at her clipboard with her right hand as she carried Myrtenaster's Wheel entangled on her left arm.

"You're taking the Wheel? Seriously?" Yang piled the replacement parts of the yacht next to the door, on the small strip of ground they had, before lifting herself back onto the grating to catch Ruby's clipboard, as she threw it over the gap.

"Yes! She'll want a new one anyway! People like Wheels without broken spokes, and I'm pretty sure we have one like this to use! Besides..." Ruby sighed. "Iwantsomethingtorememberherwhensheleavesokay!" Ruby blushed, throwing a sullen look at Yang.

"Wha... Oh. Oh ho!" Yang clutched her stomach, struggling to hold back her laughter. "You like her! God really do!" Yang doubled over, guffawing. "You like miss shipwreck oh this is so you!"

"What do you mean by that?!" Ruby snapped, forgetting about the watery drop below her.

"Boats! Boats boats boats! You love them more than you love me half the time! And when the boat's all a girl has...! Oh god and she even shipwrecked!" Yang wiped tears from her eyes, to look up at the back of a red hoodie.

"It's not funny. She's going away when we're done and I'm helping her leave. I at least want this."

"Hey, Ruby I'm sorry but hey, there are others out there. You'll find someone I promise. Even if you're even gayer than I am."

"You mean... like Blake?" Ruby turned, smirking.

"Oh that... that's not fair! Bro code man! She's Sun's ex!"

"And Sun's fine with it!" Ruby stood up, glaring at Yang. "You know what he said last week? He wants to know when you'll get off your ass and ask her-AHH!"

Ruby cried with shock as she fell, her arm still tangled in the Wheel of Myrtenaster. Then she hit the water. Gasping at the sudden cold, Ruby felt water rush into her mouth and she choked. Her left arm pulled itself free and she thrashed about, then a strong arm wrapped around her middle and she was being pulled up, Ruby vomited water as her head broke the surface and Yang pulled her to the wall, grabbing hold of the embedded ladder. Ruby clutched at Yang's arm, coughing and sobbing wildly as she was pulled up onto the grating and dragged onto firm land, then out the door where she collapsed, curled into herself as more sobs wracked her body, interspersed with coughing fits.

"Ruby!?" Yang shook the small girls shoulder, only to see her curl up tighter. Closing her eyes, Yang went inside, checking her watch. Seven-thirty. Finding the Wheel in what light remained, Yang hauled it up the ladder and onto the strip of land before retrieving her jacket from where she had thrown it before diving after Ruby. Wrapping Ruby up, Yang locked the shed and prepared to carry her sister home.

Weiss was reading one of Ruby's books when the Yang staggered in, a silent Ruby in her arms.

"What happened!" Weiss was at her side in an instant, book forgotten on the floor. "Ruby? Yang? What happened!"

"She fell into the water. She can't swim. I... This doesn't happen often call Ozpin. I'll take care of her."

"I don't know his number!"

"Stay with Ruby I'll do it!" Yang set the small bundle down on the sofa, rushing to the phone.

"Ruby?" Weiss whispered, setting a hand on the brunette's shoulder. "It's me, it's Weiss." No response. "Be okay please, please be okay. Pretend... well I guess you don't have to pretend I want you to be okay, you know I want you to be okay. Just... wake up. Please wake up. Be okay for me. You'll do that, right? Be okay for me?"

"Ozpin's busy, he'll check up on her tomorrow, so I got Glynda. She said Ruby should be fine, just to put her to bed and let her rest. God what now?" Yang growled as the phone started ringing.

"Blake." Weiss said quietly.

"What?"

"Blake called. She said she would be calling back around this time. I would have told you but..." She glanced down at Ruby, squeezing her shoulder. Yang nodded as she picked up the phone.

"Fair enough. Blake?"

"I'll put her to bed." Weiss said, earning a nod as some of the nights stress drained from the blonde's face. Gently, Weiss tucked Ruby into the bed she had been borrowing. Weiss paused for a second, thinking before shutting the door and, blushing furiously, climbing in next to Ruby.

This might be my last update for the next month, as my exams begin next week! (I shouldn't have even taken the time to write this).

Please tell me what you think! Review this story, and my other stories! I love the reviews I live for reviews! I'll probably write faster if you review!
(Also I'll reward myself with food and no you don't get any cookies.)
(Oh alright you get one, ONE cookie.)

I'm sorry that the chapters are so short, but I entered into this with little idea of what I was doing and only one story under my belt. I do hope I'm improving, and I've thought up another project to write. I hope I'll actually write it. If I do, then you'll be sure to be told.

Anyway I hope you're enjoying my works!
