Ruby's phone dinged and she lunged for it, practically climbing over Blake's lap to get to it. The dark haired girl squeaked and pressed herself into the cushions, making it easier for Ruby to reach. She grinned to herself as she read the single message on the glowing screen.
[Would you perhaps want to do something this weekend? From what I know, I am currently free.]
(I would love to! What would u wanna do? We could meet at my house and then we could go see a movie maybe? Depends on what you wanna do :D)
Ruby quickly typed out, Blake looking over at her in confusion from how fast she punched the letters.
"What's gotten you so excited?" The raven haired girl asked, one eyebrow quirked.
Instead of trying to act it out and making herself look like an idiot, Ruby settled on showing Blake the messages. The dark haired girl read over them quickly, one eyebrow raised as a smile started to ghost over her face.
"You might want to add that you could also pick her up."
Gasping, Ruby scrambled to retrieve her phone from Blake's hands. However, when she went to type out the text, Ruby realized one true flaw.
Ruby grimaced as she deleted what she had to retype a message for Blake to read.
'We only have Yang's bike and I can't drive it' she punched in, turning the screen around for Blake to read it.
"Oh. Well then if she asks you could tell her that." The raven haired girl answered. She shrugged, Ruby barely mirroring her actions before turning away to stare at her phone screen while she waited for Weiss' reply. Her phone didn't even get a chance to vibrate due to her staring at the page.
[I'm not quite sure I would enjoy a movie. I don't usually like watching television shows but maybe a movie with surround sound would be different?]
(We don't have to tho. If you wanna do somethin else we can)
"What's wrong? You got such a sad look just now." Blake questioned beside her.
Ruby jumped. She had forgotten Blake was even there. This girl was just too quiet!
'I asked Weiss if she wanted to go to the movies. Weiss is blind.' She typed, giving Blake a dumb look.
The girl only shrugged, "Doesn't mean she can't enjoy them. She might really like going with you to one."
Ruby thought for a moment and then gave Blake a thumbs up. She was right. Weiss might actually like listening to the noises and music a movie has to offer. It would also give Ruby an excuse to not try to communicate with Weiss. A movie was perhaps her safest bet.
[No, a movie is quite alright. Besides, it could be fun.]
(Yay :3 Whose house do you wanna meet at? I wouldn't be able to pick you up cuz all we have is Yang's bike but I could be dropped off at ur house)
Ruby flipped the phone around for Blake to proofread the message before sending it, just in case she had missed something. Ruby got the trusty thumbs up of approval from the raven haired girl.
She liked that she finally had someone to help with this sort of stuff. Yang would always tease her, like all big sisters do. Blake just offers suggestions and encourages her. Ruby always needed a friend. And it seems Blake needed one too.
The poor girl seemed to almost hover over the two sisters, as if she didn't think they wanted her to be there. She jumped at any sudden or loud sound, and if they felt the need to touch her, she would shy away.
Ruby just wanted Blake to feel comfortable around them, and slow and steady seemed to work for her. By simply helping Ruby with relationship advice, it was a start.
Ruby was snapped out of her thoughts when a strong vibration on her leg made her jump and almost throw her phone.
[I can call for my driver to take me to your house and escort us to the theater.]
Ruby smiled at the text and unlocked her phone to respond.
(Awesome! What do you want to go see?)
[I've been hearing a lot of talk about that new movie. Grimm's Fairy Tales? I'm not so sure if that is a good one or not. What do you think?]
Ruby smiled and giggled at the text, already excited to see the new film with Weiss.
(Oh! I've been askin Yang to go see that one for weeks now!)
[So I presume you want to go see Grimm's Fairy Tales, then?]
(Yeah! There's a bunch of action and stuff in it. Like… Giant werewolves trying to kill people and heroes saving the day!)
[Then I guess it is settled. I will be picking you up at, say, six on Saturday for dinner and then we shall watch the movie when we are finished. Does that work for you?]
Grinning excitedly, Ruby finished up the last of her texts to confirm the time.
(Alright! That works for me! Oh and Yang's my older sister. Just so ya werent confused :P See you Saturday, Weiss!)
[See you Saturday, Ruby.]
Author's Note: We are so sorry this took so long! Dragon and I are currently in school and we've been loaded with work and this month is cramming for finals (We both have already taken some and we have another AP test on Wednesday :/ )
I'm not trying to give excuses but I have a terrible habit for writing and then suddenly getting writer's block and not wanting to do more. Hopefully I can get the next chapter out and not have it be weird like this one was with mainly just dialog. The next chapter will also clear up some stuff so if anything looks weird (like Ruby giggling) it will be explained next chapter courtesy of Yang. Thanks! -Fox
Now a word from Dragon: Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter, I am sorry about the delay, but stop whining about it. We have lives too. it takes a while to write this.
