"Wonder twin powers, activate!" Ruby and I bumped fists with our brand new cereal box rings. She had her cloak on over her t-shirt and a cut-out bandana over her eyes she was wearing like a mask. She'd always enjoyed doing the whole superhero thing. I kinda just went along for the ride.
"We have to save the Princess of Schnee from the evil Dark Shadow," she pounded her fist into an open hand, like they do in the X-Ray & Vav comics.
"It's heiress actually." I couldn't help but chuckle at Blake's interruption.
"This is so juvenile…" Weiss sighed as she continued filing her nails. She really wasn't embracing her role all too well.
"Weiss! You're tied up! You're not supposed to talk." Ruby crossed her arms and hushed her.
"Why did I volunteer for this…" Weiss sighed and rolled her eyes. She was sitting on top of the dresser, her feet barely reaching the ground. She just really didn't look like she was having too much fun, but she was being nicer than normal about it.
Ruby and I closed our eyes and counted to thirty. The idea was to give Blake enough time to hide in the dorm.
"Okay, Blake, you ready?" It was quiet. I guess that was the signal.
Ruby took the lead, rushing to the other side of the room and- whoosh!
She was so fast!
I barely spun out of the way, Ruby used her semblance to try and zip around her, but Blake just managed to touch her shoulder.
"Ah! I'm tagged!"
"Untag her or go for Weiss…?"
I side-stepped Blake's rush at me and tapped Ruby on the head. Blake was fast and the only way to get to Weiss without losing the game would be to be faster than her. Ruby was our only shot! I jumped at Blake, trying to trap her into a bear hug, but her reflexes almost always made charges like that impossible. She activated her semblance and I ended up grabbing one of her shadow clones. I watched as Blake whipped her ribbon, wrapping it around Ruby's arm, pulling my sis towards her. Ruby was so close to Weiss, we couldn't lose now!
With Blake focused on Ruby I saw my chance. I grabbed her from behind-
SHADOW CLONE!
Blake whipped her ribbon and sent Ruby flying back against the far wall. Then she turned around and tackled me, pinning me to the ground. It totally caught me off guard. I was staring up into her bright, amber eyes as she held my wrists down against the ground. Her dark hair framed her face in the cutest way. Her shirt was new, this one a bit more low cut than her usual pick and I could see some killer collarbone…
"Is she blushing?"
"I got Weiss!"
Blake snapped up as Ruby called out and slid off of me and settled on the ground.
"Three points for Strawberry Sunrise! We win!"
