"Jaune? Jaune! Where are you?"
These words echoed through "the void", as Ruby continued to shout while surrounded by countless memories. She prayed to the Gods that Jaune hadn't already gone into a memory. If he did, then how would she find him? Ruby began to reassure herself, pointing out that Jaune had ran into the portal less than a minute before she did the same thing. Fortunately, her prediction ended up being correct since she eventually saw Jaune drifting through the void, looking for a memory to go into.
"Jaune, wait for me!" Ruby shouted when she saw that her friend was about to enter a memory.
"Ruby, I'm going to the library. You remember the time where your team was playing a board game and Sun introduced us to Neptune?"
Ruby smiled at the thought of spending time with her teammates. She really was glad that she had been given the chance to relive those memories. Eventually, she caught up to Jaune, and the pair prepared themselves to enter the memory.
"You ready?" Jaune asked.
"I can't wait!" was Ruby's response.
The two "swam into" the memory, ready for what this new world was about to offer to them…
"I hate this game of emotions we play!" Weiss pouted, already crying from the miserable defeat that Yang had given to her.
On cue, Ruby jumped towards her tearful partner, hugging her with all might. This time however Ruby didn't say anything while doing it, as she was too caught up with her emotions. This was the first time she had seen her best friend in months, after all.
"Don't touch me!" was the tearful response of Weiss. Ruby smiled. She remembered what happens next. Weiss began to hug back. It was as if she was also aware that they had been separated from each other for so long. Because of this, she began to cry as well, though neither Blake nor Yang thought it was weird since Weiss was caught up in the moment as well. Speaking of Blake and Yang, Ruby turned to them, grateful that she was seeing them as well after so long. She couldn't wait to see Yang be her usual self once more, and as for Blake, she realized that this was when Blake was obsessed with taking down the White Fang and Torchwick. Chances were that she would be "replaying the mission" that her team, Sun, and Neptune took part in. Ruby wasn't especially thrilled about this. Chromos has told her to avoid conflict after all. Still, she didn't let the thought ruin the happiness she was feeling after seeing Team RWBY reunited at last! She wondered if this was how Jaune felt when he asked Pyrrha for some medical supplies earlier. Oh, and speaking of Jaune and Pyrrha, Ruby began to eavesdrop on a conversation that they were having.
"Hey, ummm, Pyrrha, can I ask you something? Jaune said nervously.
"Of course Jaune! What's the matter?"
"Do you ummm, want to go on a date?"
As soon as Pyrrha's brain processed what she had heard, her face turned red, blood squirted out of her nose, and she fainted, causing her to fall off the chair she was sitting on.
As Jaune looked in shock, Nora blurted out "Oh my Gods! IT IS HAPPENING!" which caused Ren to scold her for being so loud.
As Team JNPR escorted Pyrrha to the nurse's office, Ruby smiled at the sight of Jaune being happy. He deserved this. Truth be told though, Ruby wondered if she was jealous. After all, during her time at Beacon, she continuously asked herself is she had a crush on Jaune, and to this day, she still didn't have an answer, though now, after seeing Pyrrha's reaction, she knew that she would never try to get in between her relationship with Jaune, and she was fine with that. She didn't mind just being best friends with him forever!
As Team JNPR left, even though the moment was over, Ruby continued to hug her partner, which caused Weiss to snap back to her senses after being shocked with the thought of Pyrrha (one of her two, soon to be three, crushes) going on a date with Jaune. As Ruby continued to hug her, Weiss' face turned red (her face would get even redder upon meeting Neptune a few minutes later); wondering what was causing her partner to do such a thing. She had no idea that Ruby was thinking to herself that it seemed like everything was finally going to be alright.
Unfortunately for Ruby, however, she had no idea that the blessing known as time travel would end up ruining her life forever….
Hey everyone, I am really, really, really sorry for not posting these past few weeks. Know that the first two weeks, I didn't post because I was busy with things in my actual life, but for the other weeks, I did not post because I was being lazy, and that is inexcusable. Please know that, starting today, the normal schedule will return unless I say otherwise of something unexpected happens. Once again, I apologize.
