After Weiss's departure, Ruby was left to walk home by herself, which she didn't mind one bit, she had her morning coffee, so she was more than okay to make it back to her house unattended. As Ruby walked down the streets of her neighborhood, she found an empty soda can. Ruby stared at the soda can for a bit before giving an impish smile. "Well.. Someone's gotta pick that up sooner or later, and as long as it's picked up, it doesn't matter how right?" Ruby looks around and notices no one out of their houses yet and chuckles. "I'll take that as a yeah."
Ruby then started to kick the empty soda can while whistling. Ruby might have played music, but in general she was pretty good at athletic stuff too! Although for the reason as of why she didn't do something athletic was it just wasn't conventional or appealing to her, However, being born in a family full of people who did sports wasn't particularly encouraging either. That didn't mean she didn't love her family; it just didn't work too well with her own hobby and job!
Just as Ruby was reaching her house and her outside garbage can, she adjusted her foot to make it hang over the middle of the can before she stepped down and squashed it. Once the can was crushed she placed her foot on the bottom of the now squished can and quickly pressed down on it, causing it to pop up before immediately kicking her foot under the can and kicked it up even higher. After the can was kicked up higher, Ruby snatched it out the air with her hand and gave a satisfied smile. "Still got it!"
Ruby lifts the trashcan's lid and tosses the empty soda can into it before turning to face the front of her house, but as soon as she turned she saw a familiar bicycle bike leaned up against the wood fences that surrounded her home. "Huh? Please don't tell me.." Ruby nimbly walked over to her door while reaching into her bag fumbling for the keys, but then remembers that if the bike was there, the door was presumably unlocked. "Ughhh.."
Ruby reached out and opened the door before she rushed inside and tossed her bag on the hanger next to the door. Ruby didn't really have time to correctly hang her bag since she had a mission, and that mission was to search and destroy! Okay, well not necessarily destroy, but instead talk to, and it also technically wasn't a mission being the fact it was easy to find the person she was searching for in a matter of seconds since she had entered the house. It was almost as easy to complete her short mission than a mouse looking for cheese that was right in front of it.. All of a sudden Ruby heard loud laughing coming from the living room, and the sudden loud commotion startled Ruby, but she quickly realized her suspicions were right! Although there was one more way to make sure. Ruby quietly began to tiptoe down the hall and towards the opening wall that led into the living room, and once she got there, she peeked over the wall before she let out a quiet sigh of recognition. "I knew it."
There on one of Ruby's couches was a blonde haired woman who wore a yellow tank top with a jean jacket covering most of the tank top's upper half, although the arms of the jacket looked as if they were cut or ripped off, Ruby wasn't really sure; maybe it might have been the design of the jacket? The woman also had a pair of long pants; however, this wasn't just any typical woman, this was Yang Xiao Long, her older sibling. Yang was actually only older than Ruby by two years, which in her opinion, that was nothing really.. But since Yang was older than Ruby, she had awful tenancies to use the 'big' sister role against her even though they were adults now..
Ruby smiled at her older sister's arrival since other than the small teasing she did from time to time; Yang was actually the coolest sister there was.
Ruby saw that Yang was just laying on the couch with her arms behind her head and was talking to. She glanced all around the living room in search of who Yang was talking to but found no one? Ruby then let out a groan before walking over to Yang who was apparently laughing at nothing, she was just laying there laughing at air probably, which was just plain sad that Ruby wouldn't put it behind Yang to do. "Yang, if you plan to bust into my home and claim it as your land to relax, at least lock the door. I've heard there was a new group who was breaking into homes and stealing everything lately, and I'd really like to keep my belongings."
Ruby's sudden voice startled the blonde girl before she quickly turned her head to Ruby, but as soon as she turns her head to see who spoke up, diverted gray eyes meet surprised lilac colored eyes in an instant. They stare at each other before Yang's lilac colored eyes soften, and she ran a hand through her hair and spoke up finally. "Jeez Rubes! You almost gave me a heart attack there!" Yang laughs and continues to speak to the invisible person. "Oh, sorry about that, Rubes just came home finally!"
Ruby customarily would never question why people talk to themselves since she had grown used to saying her thoughts out loud as well, but Yang was seriously having a conversation with air! Ruby knew she had just arrived, so why was Yang announcing that? "Uuh, yeah, I'm home? I know that Yang, but what I don't know, is why were you, and still are, talking to yourself? Is this possibly a new thing for you sis? Making announcements?" Ruby playfully questioned her sister while she rolled her hands in a circle to get whatever Yang was doing out of her.
"Psh, please, I don't do the announcing Rubes! I am announced!" Yang laughs as she brings a hand to her long wavy hair and reaches her hand past the hair and fiddles with an ear, but the action confused Ruby even more since Yang hadn't answered her question.
"Sis, I think you hung out with Qrow too much in the past when you were little, look at this baby!" Yang pulled out an ear-shaped earpiece that had a small little black bar of some sort and grinned as she held the device outward to Ruby, wiggling her hand a bit to signify that Ruby was to take the thing out her hand. "Isn't she just a beauty? I was really getting sick of having to use my arms to hold my phone, so I bought this thing! It works much better now for my whole biking thing, so I can now talk while biking!" Ruby walked over to Yang and took the earpiece out of her sister's hand to inspect it more closely.
Ruby looked at the earpiece and noticed the back of the ear hold was the biggest piece of the device and whistled. "Wow. I think I've seen some people use these, what's the thing called? And what's the big piece for?" Ruby felt slightly ashamed she wasn't fully keeping up with modern time and even thought maybe she hung out with her uncle too much.. But he was the only one who knew about music in the family as of now.
"Well the one you're holding right there Rubes, that's a Plantronics Voyager Legend Bluetooth Headset! Neat, right? It was about 100 dollars, but it is so worth it! Not to mention the two things I do pretty much cover it all! I'm still good to pay for my own stuff. Oh, and that big back piece is mostly the wireless adapter built in it for the thing to connect to my phone! Also, the battery is in there." Yang lazily pulls out her phone and waves it around as if to prove a point, but again, Ruby didn't get what she was showing and simply nodded as if she knew what she was doing.
"That's good Yang! Well, since we're on the career topic, how's the BMX career going anyway?" Ruby asks her sister since Yang was in a group of extreme BMX bikers who were well known and Yang at some point had become their second leader of the group, Yang had told her before they became well known that the actual second leader to their group had left for complicated reasons.
"It's going pretty good if you ask me! Which speaking of the BMX career, I have two announcements! The first one is that I officially have made it into the extreme BMX biking magazine! And on sour notes," Yang lets out a heavy sigh. "The second news is that my team now apparently thinks it's time we get a new recruit for the 'Flame kickers.' Apparently Sun's got a really good friend who was willing to help us out.. Which, if you ask me, we don't really need a new recruit! We can make it to the big leagues with just 4 of us! Don't you agree Rubes?" Yang tossed her yellow bag over to Ruby, who grabbed it before it could hit the floor. "The magazine is in there, by the way,"
Ruby nodded her head before she walked over to the other short couch in front of Yang and sat down, reaching around in the yellow bag for the magazine, in which after a minute she found it and pulled it out. Ruby held the magazine in both of her hands while inspecting the cover. There on the front of the magazine was the yellow and black bike that was currently leaning against her fence outside, Ruby also noticed the good sized dirt hill that had the bike launched off it with Yang doing the trick called 'tabletop.' The reason Ruby knew that was because her sister gave her a small lesson on different tricks, well, not 'gave' more like 'forced' her to listen for 'future' references. Yang also had the largest grin on her face as she winked in the direction of the camera that she must have noticed about to snap a picture of her. "Yang you posed for the camera in the middle of something like that.. Classical Yang." Ruby softly chuckled at the thought.
After a few minutes of waiting for Ruby to speak, Yang finally looked over to Ruby, who was unwrapping a piece of gum and quickly popping it into her mouth before finally responding to her sister's earlier comment. "Yang, you said that with 2 members. I think your team is doing pretty well so far, so maybe one extra member would help you guys get to where you're aiming faster! Be a good second leader Yang and think about the advantages and disadvantages of getting one more member or not. " Ruby tossed Yang a piece of gum and Yang caught it before she puffed out her cheeks.
"Ruby, you sly pianist, digging through her sister's bag for food." Ruby stuck her tongue out at Yang and placed the bag to her side. However, the immature action got a few boisterous chuckles from Yang.
"It's a fair trade Yang, you get to enter my house whenever you want, and I get to take whatever goodies you dare to bring in my house and eat them as I please. But hey! At least I shared, unlike you did two weeks ago! You ate all my chocolate cake and didn't save me any! My money's worth, all went straight to your belly and not mine.." Ruby pouts slightly.
"But Rubes, that's being stingy! Anyway, look at us, we're flying off topic sis! Like I was saying, we both know I could carry the team if I wanted to." Yang unwraps the gum and places it in her mouth, "Which is why I was talking to- shit! Rubes, I forgot! I was talking on the phone before you came!" Yang swiftly lifts off her back and reaches into her back pocket before she pulled out her phone and ended the call with a sigh.
"I guess you could say karma is a jerk for what you just said about the stingy comment?" Ruby humorously says with a snicker.
"Yeah, yeah! Laugh it up Rubes..Just laugh it up.." Yang gripes before letting out a huff, but Ruby speaks up again.
"Hehe~ well anyway, You said there was going to be a recruit right?" Yang nods her head to Ruby's question, and Ruby continues, "I think you should give them a chance on the team Yang, I mean all the members I've met are all really cool people! They're like your family you said once! You never know Yang." Yang looked at her little sister and noticed that she slightly had her head tilted and a grin on her face, showing that she was deliberately using the 'I'm adorable' look attack on her.
Yang had sat up entirely on the couch before she grasped at her chest with a frown. "Ruby! Damn you and your 900 attack! I'm badly damaged now! So I guess I'll just have to gather all of my strength back!" Yang dramatically cried out before she launched off the couch and charged over to where Ruby was, but Ruby was quick to understand what the charging mass of bike muscle was about to do and tried to jump off the back of the couch, however, just as she almost got over.. Yang grabbed her by the waist. "Where the heck do you think you're going, Rubes? I've thought we've been over this~? You can never escape the big sisters."
Yang plucks Ruby off the couch that she was desperately holding onto before plopping Ruby's feet back onto the ground and letting go of her sister's waist, however, she settled for doing the classical sister torture method. Yang head locked Ruby before she leaned down slightly and darkly muttered. "Power, must, be, regained!" That was all that she said before Yang began to give Ruby's head a bunch of noogies, "Powwwer!"
"Ack! What the heck Yang!" Ruby started to try to wiggle away from the fist being basically drilled into her head before she felt Yang jump back on the couch behind them and took Ruby down with her. "Oof!" Ruby grunted as she landed on the couch with Yang, who then let her head go with a content sigh.
"I feel much better now~! Anyway, I suppose I could give this new recruit a chance, and I say 'a' because this is only one chance!" Ruby pinches her sister's arm from the noogies she just gave her and huffed.
"That's good you're planning to give them a chance, but now I've got important news as well.." This quickly gets Yang's attention, and she looks over to her sister and raises a brow.
"It's not bad is it?" Ruby shakes her head promptly.
"What? No! I was just going to say I've gotten a cool job offer! This woman named Weiss apparently needed a pianist for this party since a bunch of foreign companies and people are coming over! She herself, though, is most likely Dutch, and I say that because her accent and the way she worded stuff sometimes." Ruby chuckled at her way of pronouncing a few letters and words when they were talking.
Yang suddenly patted Ruby's back hardly, making Ruby yammer before swatting her sister's hand off her back with an "Ouch! You don't have to hit so hard Yang!"
"No, but I'm proud of my little sister who's moving along in life nicely! That's great sis! How long are you planning to set up for this party?" Yang had pulled out her phone and looked at her calendar, waiting for Ruby to speak since she already knew the routine for her sister's working hours. While when Yang started contracts with people, she would freely do as she will.. But Ruby had something against Yang scaring her bosses or mentally scarring them.
"Well, when she first contacted me, she told me it was in 4 weeks.. So I guess she's going to be my boss for the next 4 weeks? On the other hand, though, I don't exactly know how my schedule will become in those weeks Yang so when you come over.. Just in case we start working over at my house because she doesn't own a piano or something, which is excusable because you know how much they usually cost, and I don't expect everyone to have one. But Yang, at least be dressed and don't come in cursing up a storm with friends. You know the drill,"
Yang had already marked the 4 weeks as 'Boredom weeks.' Yang once had a much better name for those days for Ruby's work, but one memorable day, Ruby found out what she called her work days and pushed Yang out the house and locked her out. Yang still to that day didn't know what was wrong with the name 'pompous whiz-bang farm raising week.' Yang thought it was a pretty cool name.
Yang gave a long, melodramatic sigh. "Rubes, when have I ever done such indecen-" however, before she could continue what Ruby already knew she was going to say, Ruby countered it with the incident with one of her friends.
"Yang, I once had left with Jaune to help him pick out strings for his guitar, and when we came back. You were in your panties and singing on the stairs to the radio on your phone. Jaune always asks me to check the house now before he comes over.." Ruby laughs at the memory of the whole thing while simultaneously shaking her head.
Yang gets a slight smug look on her face before she raised a finger and spoke loudly. "Easily that can be explained!" Ruby looked at her sister and crossed her arms.
"Well, it might have been a month ago, but care to explain your reason now?" Yang nodded her head quickly.
"Yes, yes in fact I am ready to explain the reason of that whole amazing issue. Jaune boy should be glad he was blessed by my amazing singing anyway."
"Yang you can't sing, that was you yelling out words."
"Rubes your just jealous of my amazing voice, well anyway, onward with the explanation!" Yang looked as if she had an actual thing to say, but all she actually said was, "It gets hot in your house Rubes, what can I say?" Yang had a large grin on her face as she nudged Ruby. "But I'll ask you one more time Rubes, was that all you really went out with Jaune boy for? I mean, I need to know if big sis has to step in to give rules and pointers." Ruby lets out a groan and playfully pushes her sister before getting off the couch
"Yang, sorry, but blondes just aren't my thing. All that yucky love stuff isn't my thing either, and if people want to take life seriously and push 'fun' out of the way.. Well, I guess my push off is just that? Is it so wrong for me to just have friends like Jaune, and y'know, not be dating him, Yang?" Ruby hinted for Yang to drop the conversation that was arising since she was now focused on one task, and that was getting some lunch.
Ruby heard Yang's laughter echo slightly in the hall as she walked towards the kitchen to get her lunch, although she did hear her sister yell out in between laughs. "Blondes are life! We'll rule it all! Yellow domination!" Ruby shakes her head while laughing at her sister's yellings of blondes taking over the world, "Screw stereotypes for blondes, we're nothing like that!"
"Yep Yang, definitely, but if you're planning domination, Yang! At least start a tyranny, but save room for us brunette's!" Ruby yelled to her sister from the kitchen who then snorted, "Anyway Yang, anything you want to eat? I'm making lunch!"
"Whatever you're getting sis is fine for me!" Yang hollers out before Ruby heard the static of the TV being turned on along with the TV's volume being turned up. "Hey! Let's watch a movie so hurry back in here Rubes before we miss any good shows! I really don't want to find a movie that sounds decent and then open it and the movie's like halfway into the beginning because then I just don't know what's happening! Man, those moments suckkk," Ruby heard Yang groaning and prolonging the 'k' in the word 'suck.'
"Alright! I'll make us sandwiches since it's quicker!" Ruby made the sandwiches and returned to her sister who started up a movie and Ruby looked at the small TV while taking bites of her sandwich. "You pick sucky movies, Yang."
"You pick sucky moments to tell me I pick sucky movies, now shush; we're already in the beginning Rubes."
"Sucker."
"Suckletter."
"That makes no sense."
"Don't care."
I'm allowing minor cursing cause I'm going to have fun with that later. Um. There are bumblebees in the flower bed too! Also bare with me, deal with chapters like these, and when we once again finally reach whiterose paradise..Also bumblebee heaven.. It'll be worth your time! So until we make it to gay paradise, slap your socks on, raise your go wolf flags, and grab a glass of tea! And think..What's next in this song of hearts?
Now if you see me switching tenses from time to time (I forgot..That..Present tense existed, oh boy, people are going to kill me for forgetting that was a thing. I mostly was 'trying' to focus on keeping future and past tense constant -failed-. Ops? I tried to keep them constant, but sometime I would have just froze and sat there like, "Okay, so..I have past tense going..What's another past tense word that could go with this sentence? And future tense is just pleading for me to use it and after 10 minutes I just give up trying to redo the whole sentence and used a different tense. ^^') Don't worry, just give the little wolf sometime to try and adapt to this stuff. -Curls up in tense books and studies- Yup. So while I read up on this stuff, ;w; enjoy silly sister bonding!
Reviews, are very welcomed by the wolf. HUGS. Are also very welcomed by the wolf.
