Hello again everyone! I'm not sure why I keep doing this, but Delta's gonna become a wee-bit pissed. Or...a lot pissed. Ah well. Enjoy!

I took a sigh, enjoying the beautiful sunrise as the sun rose from the west. Taking in a breath, I began thinking about what I wanted to be after I graduated. I never really thought about it, despite asking Ruby several days prior to today.

Instructor? Hell no. Soldier? Definitely not. Mechanic with Ruby? Possibly. Hmm…what else…?

Suddenly, I heard footsteps. I turned around and saw my new rival, Windsickle, walking up to me.

"Huh," he said, "thought I'd find you here."

"You thought," I asked, dropping my arms and turning to face him. He smiled at me and said, "There was something I needed to discuss with you."

"Me?"

He nodded, then asked, "You're dating Ruby Rose, right?"

I nodded.

Windsickle sighed and said, "Then please get it through Saber's thick head."

"Huh?"

I raised an eyebrow as he continued, "My leader's been obsessed with her since he met her lord knows how long ago…now he's planning on taking out to dates and all that corny shit."

I could feel my chest begin to flare up. My heart began to beat faster and faster at the thought of him taking Ruby out on a date, then kissing, then…I didn't even want to think about what I'd do if he did that with her. Even if we were a technical couple? Damn straight.

My face began to turn hot as Windsickle looked at me, raising his hands and saying, "Chill, Delta, chill."

"'Chill' my ass," I replied. Suddenly, Sierra appeared and said, "If Saber so much as lays a finger on Ruby…."

She suddenly held a knife to Windsickle's throat, catching him by surprise as she walked up behind him. Her eyes glew red as she gave him a good glare and repeated, "If he so much as lays a finger on Ruby…then I can guarantee…."

Windsickle swallowed some spit as she said, "We're going to have some problems…SWRD."

"Whoa whoa whoa! Take it easy! I'm not the one asking her out, here!"

Sierra lowered her knife and replied, "I know; just get that message to Saber."

He sighed, then looked at me. I shrugged and replied, "Sierra's right; if he does lay so much as a finger on her, we're going to have some problems, Windsickle."

"Yeah, I guess," he replied, turning his back towards me. I sighed, looking at Sierra. I was about to ask what she was doing until I heard Windsickle say, "No guarantees that he'll listen to me, though!"

"What the FUCK!"

I threw one of my swords at the training room wall, getting half the blade stuck as Sierra sighed and said, "Calm down, Delta."

"Humor me," I replied, jarring it out.

Lima cocked her head to the side in clear distress as Hotel asked, "Just what the hell happened this morning?"

Sierra turned to him and replied, "Delta's jealous."

"Jealous?"

"Not jealous," I replied, "just pissed—OFF!"

I left another gash in the wall. Sierra narrowed her eyes in annoyance, saying, "Basically, yeah…because of Saber from that new team SWRD."

"What the fuck," Hotel said, pulling his weapon up. Lima shook her head, then perked her ears, turning to the doors as they flew open. I turned around to see SWRD walking in through the doors as Saber said, "Hey SHLD! We have the room booked for the afternoon!"

I let out an annoyed "Tch," walking right past him and out the door.

"Hey!"

I turned around, glaring right a Dagger, who was glaring right back. She motioned to draw her weapons until Windsickle raised a hand and said, "Keep going, Delta…keep going."

My grip on my own weapons tightened as I forced myself to sheath them, feeling Lima put a hand on my shoulder as we made our way back to our dorm room.

"Seriously, chill Delta," Sierra told me for the umpteenth time today. I sighed, my sword handles finally folding back into storage mode as I finally unlatched Alternate Echo from my back, stuffing it into my locker. In actual reality, I was still pissed as hell. If I had half the chance, I would cut that bastard down, even if he might've been a better swordsman than me. Pulling out my uniform, I quickly walked over to the bathroom, quickly changing my clothing as I ran out of the bathroom just as quickly. I could feel my team's eyes on me as I quickly made my way to class.

Swinging the door open, I quickly took my seat, taking note that Sierra had frozen time as they were already seated.

Now I just hope that today will finally just end and-.

"Delta!"

This ought to cheer me up.

I looked up, seeing Ruby with the exact person I didn't want to see.

Saber looked down at me with a smile and said, "Hello again, Delta."

I sighed, slowly raising a hand and waving as Ruby said, "This is Saber; he's a friend from back when I lived on Patch."

…And she couldn't tell me this earlier?

"…Hi…," I replied, glancing away immediately. I could feel his expression drop to a look of confusion as Ruby put her arm over me and asked, "Delta? What's wrong?"

"…Nothing…," I said, suddenly standing up as I stormed out of the classroom.

"Aaaaaannnnnd there he goes," Hotel stated. Sierra let out an annoyed groan as Lima looked after him. Ruby's eyes furrowed in worry as Sierra finally stood up, walking up to Ruby.

"You might want to follow him," she stated.

"What? But class is-."

"That's not important right now, Rosey," Sierra interjected, putting a hand on her shoulder as she whispered, "What's important is that you're with him right now."

"B-but," she argued, "I haven't seen Saber in so long, so can't I at least-?"

"Look Ruby," Sierra said, almost in a fed up tone, "Delta's not in a good way right now, so you're probably better off just going to cheer him up."

Ruby raised an eyebrow in curiosity as Sierra continued, "We've already tried, but…well…you know."

With a sigh, Ruby turned to Saber and said, "I…guess I'll catch up to you later."

"Sure, Rubes," he replied. Lima's ear perked at the word. Sierra felt something flare up in her chest as Hotel turned his head to his direction with an eyebrow raised. Ruby took off as Sierra forced herself to not summon one of her knives, forcing herself to take her seat as Professor Oobleck came into the classroom.
