‘Gold’

Summer Rose

This is entirely unfair.

His heart shines a brighter gold than even his hair.

But it has been shattered and broken by another

Could this be my chance? Could I be his lover?

The raven has flown away, the winter has come

The whiskey bottles no longer keep him numb

I long for the feel of his lips on my skin

I've made up my mind. I'll step up and step in

I'll help raise his daughter to be a fighter

And help him to see the world is much brighter

Our daughters will share in endless laughter

Until such a time when thus kindly I scatter

\/\/\/\/\/

Raven Branwen

The golden idiot I must leave behind

Even if I will miss his body against mine

My tribe is more important, and they need me now

It's a shame about the girl, but out I must bow

i will miss the good times we always had

Especially the raucous and wild times in bed

But now this scared girl has been blessed with such power

I must have mercy, so her life I will devour

\/\/\/\/\/

Qrow Branwen

The unlucky one offers his melancholy chorus

I'll never forget that time in the forest.

Loneliness and cold drove us together.

I've scarcely had another who was better

The boy with the gold hair and the gorgeous mouth

He has two small lives to worry about now

The golden dragon and the little red slayer

One has Summer's eyes and the other Taiyang's hair

That fiery boy that I met back at Beacon

The world has torn him down and given him every reason

To leave this world forever, but he still perseveres

I can't always be around to dry his tears

Or play 'Big Bad Beowolf' with the kids when he tunes out

They can't raise themselves. He needs to come back now.

The dragon of the sun has been caught in the rain

But keep your head up, Tai. Sunny days will come again.

\/\/\/\/\/

Day Fourteen: Team STRQ Member

In the interest of getting this fic done on time, since I had a hellacious morning AFTER working a night shift and messed around and slept nearly all afternoon, I wrote a poem about Taiyang from his teammates’ points of view.

I still headcanon that Tai boned his entire team during or after their time at Beacon. I mean, we know he got next to both ladies, so is it really that far-fetched that he’d mash Qrow? Even just for the achievement?

Anyway, let me shut my face and go do something productive.

‘The Storm’

The soft lotus flower on which I rest my head

The calm to my raging thunderstorm

The voice of reason amongst all the ZZZT crazy

I find solace in his soft pink eyes

My rage is eclipsed by ZZZT soothing calm

The very embodiment of chill and zen

I'll break your legs if you cause harm to my Ren!

ZZZT I love you, ZZZT my soft lotus flower!

ZZZT! OOH A CAKE! ZZZT! ZZZZZT!

\/\/\/\/\/

Day Twenty-Two: Lie Ren

A short and spastic poem about Ren, told from the point of view of Nora Valkyrie.

The ZZZT!s are flares of her electric aura. I imagine she there are plenty of shocks in her thought process.

Again, just not up to a fic today. I promise I’ll get back to myself by the end of this challenge, though.

‘Sorairo Days’

Penny spun her trumpet around in one hand. She and the Mechanical Girls were waiting for Daisy to finish setting up her drums. Neo slapped away at her bass guitar. Magenta was in the kitchen checking on the meal she'd started for the band to eat after practice. Gen was an incredible cook, so she was invaluable to the band's survival.

Especially on tour, when fast food and instant noodles got really old really quickly.

All four of them had a talent aside from music that saved the band from this or that. Penny, being literally mechanical, could lift their van off the ground if it needed work, and Daisy could perform most simple fixes on it. Neo took care of all the scheduling for the band, and that was a job in itself.

"Genny, could you please bring some drinkage for the crew on your way? I'd like lemonade!" Penny called to their guitarist.

"Root beer for me, please!" Daisy added. Neo slapped her bass strings in a Morse Code pattern. "Sounds like Neo wants tea!" Daisy translated, Neo face-palming and holding up a sign. She felt like one of those cartoon characters she used to watch.

"Chai, rather! Excuse me, Ice Cream!" Daisy complained. Neo shot her the finger. "You would! If Gen didn't already do it so well!" The drummer with the bright yellow hair retorted.

"Ladies, calm down!" Penny laughed at her bandmates. A red blur appeared in the room and took the shape of Ruby Rose. Penny's eyes turned to hearts at the sight of her Gemstone.

'Maybe you should calm down...' Neo signed. At least Penny could understand sign language well enough to accommodate their mute bassist. Penny giggled at Neo's comment.

"Shush!" She blew Neo off and hugged her favorite shade of red tightly. Ruby made her way around the room and hugged her girlfriend's bandmates.

"Hey, isn't there a song based on Morse Code?" Ruby asked Neo. She nodded, her mismatched eyes lighting up at the thought of one of her favorite tunes. She signed the letters 'Y' 'Y 'Z' and then played the piece of music. "YOU'RE SO COOL!!" Ruby made Neo blush bright red.

Daisy played a beat on her drums that corresponded with Neo's bass tune. "See, nothing special." The blonde bragged. Magenta finally returned with the crew's drinks, toting a cranberry juice for herself and a bottle of citrus green tea for Ruby. She hugged Ruby on sight.

"So, shall we practice?" Penny announced. Ruby perched on the couch as the band began practicing their usual set. She cheered loudly when 'Bumper to Bumper' came. She was so in love with the ska-punk sounds of The Mechanical Girls.

Penny's trumpet solo always captivated Ruby. There were such intensity and emotion in the notes. Ruby danced in time with her most favorite song. Penny smiled at her Gemstone, her green eyes turning to stars at the sight.

"YEAH! GO GET 'EM, ROBOBOT!" Ruby cheered before she remembered they were in practice and not at a concert. She blushed ten shades of red, but the Girls all just smiled at her.

"Hey, Girls, should we play that song we learned for my Gemstone?" Penny asked the band. "I think we should play it!" She reiterated, putting down her trumpet and picking up her guitar. Ooh, Penny almost never used the guitar! This would definitely be special!

Nothing could have prepared Ruby to hear those first chords. THIS WAS HER MOST FAVORITE SONG EVER! The opening tune from her most favorite anime, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

She couldn't believe Penny and the Girls had learned 'Sorairo Days', as it was a song that was far outside their usual style. Then again, Weiss Schnee had learned a Chili Peppers song for her significant other, and their music was nowhere close to Weiss's wild violin antics.

Penny began singing a few bars into the song, and Ruby thought her soul might leave her body. Penny sang this particular song perfectly, and the rest of the band weren't doing a bad job either. Magenta's guitar sounded stellar, and Neo's bass cut through the mix nicely.

Ruby's eyes weren't sure if they should be stars or hearts at this point. Penny had actually learned her absolute favorite song ever. Her heart raced as they performed for her. Penny and Magenta traded off some awesome guitar solos, Ruby smirking as she watched her girlfriend's fingers.

The song finally finished with a crashing chord from Penny. She looked at Ruby as the music stopped, immediately concerned by the sight of the awestruck girl in front of her.

"Ruby? Are you alright?" Penny asked. Ruby shook her head and came to her senses.

"YOU LEARNED MY SONG! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! YOU ARE SO PERFECT AND I LOVE YOU!" Ruby squealed as she rushed Penny and hugged her, planting butterfly kisses on her face and head. Penny placed her guitar on a stand. "Ladies, I need to borrow this one for a few minutes..." Ruby told the band as she snatched up Penny and raced for the next room.

"No more than twenty minutes, ladies! I promise!" Penny told them before the door closed between the rooms.

"WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF PRACTICE!!!" Daisy loudly protested. Gen rolled her eyes and laughed. Neo took a sip from her chai tea, signing a joke to Magenta. Gen laughed out loud. Daisy looked at her girlfriend curiously.

"She said we should never have played that song with Ruby here. We should have known this would happen. It's really our fault." Genny relayed, Daisy scoffing.

"I wish I could come to band practice and get it! Must be nice!" Daisy complained even more. Magenta hugged her tightly and tousled her hair.

"If we both ran out on practice to have alone time, that would leave Penny and Neo with no rhythm at all!" Gen joked. Daisy chortled as Neo shot both of them a finger apiece.

"Whatever happened to your redhead boy toy, Neo?" Daisy asked her. The girl with the pink and brown hair shook her head, throwing her hands up and making rapid signs that were difficult for Magenta to catch.

"Um... she just signed a spew of graphic expletives, if that gives you any clues." Magenta translated.

"You want us to go break his face, Ice Cream Cone?" Daisy asked. Neo smirked and shook her head.

"I'd wager Neo did that herself already, honey!" Neo nodded excitedly at Magenta. Penny and Ruby emerged from the room, sweating and disheveled as they walked back into the practice area.

"Must be nice to get laid at practice..." Daisy joked.

"Sorry about that, ladies. That song just really inspired me, I guess." Ruby apologized. Penny took up her trumpet and brought the Mechanical Girls back into their practice. Ruby bobbed her head in time with all their raucous tunes. \/\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/

Day Twelve: Deceased Character

Penny! It’s always Penny! MORE MECHANICAL GIRLS SHENANIGANS!

I headcanon that Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann would be Ruby’s favorite anime. I feel like she would try to build a mech like Lagann.

Nuts and Dolts, as usual with this universe. Also Daisy and Magenta are dating now! And Neo uses sign language and Morse Code and the occasional written sign in conversation.

AND SKA-PUNK! You can never have too much ska in your life.

Kokopelli tattoo design that I’ve been working on...

Kokopelli is a Native American fertility deity, presiding over childbirth and agriculture.

This particular Koko is an idea I’ve had for a couple of years now, and a lot of different elements have gone into creating this design.

Kokopellis are usually hunched over playing a flute or pipe. Mine is leaned back playing a horn as a nod to the state where I was born and raised. Louisiana jazz and zydeco music have always influenced me, and I’m all about brass in general. DAT BRASS!!

Koko’s tattoos are music note with hearts fashioned into them. Music is vital to my existence, and I would not be a tolerable person without it. They are also shaded using Mardi Gras colors: green, gold and purple.

The same colors apply to his eye. I made his eye a spiral for a bit of a tribal feel. He doesn’t always have facial features, so an eye and a mouth made for a nice touch.

Koko is normally depicted with a feathery headdress, as it’s a Native American symbol. I like to think of him with long and unwieldy hair, and I even draw him with dreads sometimes.

His music notes used to just be hearts, but I decided to make them into stylized notes. This extends from a lyric by Hey Ocean! ‘Music is love in search of the words.’ The rainbow colors symbolize love and equality, two things that are very important to me.

Finally, the reason I draw Koko in the first place is a nod to my mother. She has always loved Native-styled art, especially Kokopellis and dreamcatchers, so there were a lot of those around me growing up. Koko’s skin is purple because it’s my mom’s favorite color as well as mine.

One of these days I will draw Kokopelli perfectly, and I want to get him as a tattoo also. Until then, have this thing. ^____^

‘Still Alive’

"Yang?" Blake asked the apparently dazed blonde girl. Yang snapped out of her daydream.

"Oh, you came," Yang replied, trying to play off that she'd nearly dozed off in the middle of the park.

"I don't see why anybody would stand you up," Blake replied, taking Yang by surprise.

"You'd be surprised how often it's happened before," Yang sighed. "I guess I'm too much for some people to take."

"Well that was their loss, wasn't it?" The compliments would not stop. Yang could hardly stand this. Was this woman perfect or what?

"So, what were you thinking about doing with the rest of your day?" Yang asked, certain to ask first so that she herself wouldn't answer with something ridiculous. One day she would probably die for one of her untimely jokes.

"There's a coffeehouse that makes excellent tea and decent confections. I was thinking of doing that, and it isn't far from here."

"Oh, you must mean that place by the Rooster's Teeth, StarDusts or whatever it's called. They have really great coffee. That sounds like a wonderful idea." Yang grinned as she and Blake took off walking.

"Citrus red tea, please," Blake asked the barista, "and whatever my date wants, also." Yang blushed at hearing 'my date' but tried to be subtle.

She was as subtle as a brick in the small of one's back.

"I would like a Jive Java, please and thank you."

The barista took their Lien and thanked them for the tip, and Blake and Yang found a small couch to sit. Yang wasn't sure about this seating arrangement; Blake was dangerously close to her. Not that she didn't appreciate it, but what if one of them got handsy? It was likely to be Yang, which was why she was worried about being this close.

The barista called both their names, and Yang took that opportunity. She went and scooped up their beverages, breathing heavily as she walked to the counter. The barista noticed the state of Yang.

"Hey, Yang is it? Don't be nervous. Sure, she's a celebrity, but she's here with you, and that's a definite plus." She told Yang, who gave a confused look. "She comes in here after nearly every show in Vale, and this is the first time I've seen her with anyone who wasn't in the band. She sees something she likes in you, so don't be afraid to show it to her." She explained, winking at Yang.

That put her mind at ease, and Yang walked back triumphantly. She slid onto the small couch next to Blake, passing her the tea she'd longed for since the concert began. Yang put one arm around Blake, getting a grin as she did so.

"So, do you come here a lot?" Yang asked, mesmerized by Blake's golden eyes.

"Every time I'm in Vale, if I can get away with it. Next to Beastly Beans in Menagerie, this is my favorite coffeehouse in Remnant." Blake answered between sips of her glorious tea. Yang smiled at that.

"So what's Menagerie like?" Yang suddenly wanted to know everything there was to know about her idol, who was now apparently her date. Her head threatened to spin a little at that, but she kept her composure. A sip of her coffee helped a little bit.

Blake rambled on and on about the island she called home. Yang's smile grew and grew as Blake spoke. Her talking voice was second only to her incredible singing voice. Yang could listen to her forever.

Blake exhaled and looked at Yang, and the blonde knew that it would be her turn to talk. She hoped she would have something interesting to say. She told Blake about Patch, her family, and how much Smile Bomb's music had become a part of her life.

"I appreciate that. It's fans that keep us going, after all."

"Blake, I've obviously crushed on most of the band, pretty much everyone but Neptune and Scarlet, but... You're probably the main reason I listen to Smile Bomb. I've always had this thing for you, despite not even knowing anything but your music. I'd like to get to know you better, to get a little closer to you."

Blake couldn't help but chuckle. "If we get any close, we'll be conjoined, Yang," She replied, causing Yang to realize just how close together they were at the moment. No wonder Yang's leg was so warm.

"Oh, I guess you're not wrong..." Yang sighed.

"I know what you meant, though, and I agree. I'd like to learn about you, too. I wish to learn whatever I can," Blake told her, one of her hands shifting down Yang's back.

"Hey, Kitty Cat, buy me dinner first!" She joked, her own hand slithering around Blake's waist.

"You didn't even buy me coffee and you're trying to get your hands on me..."

"How did your song say it? I want you all to myself!"

"Oh, Blondie can sing!" Blake cheered as Yang sang one of their songs. "Yeah, I definitely want to see more of you, Yang."

"NOT IN MY COFFEEHOUSE, PLEASE AND THANK YOU!" The barista chimed, grinning at the two of them.

"Shut your face, Topaz! I put more than enough Lien through here, and you know it!"

"Not enough for me to buy a new couch if you defile that one..." She nicked. A sweat drop appeared at the back of Blake's head at that comment.

"Well, it looks like Paz is throwing us out. You feel like hanging out at the hotel? The whole band is there, and they should be ordering takeaway soon. I'll tell them to get extra," Blake suggested, Yang's eyes turning to stars at the idea.

"I would like that quite a lot! Wait, does this mean we're... a thing? Because if we're a thing, I would really like to kiss you."

Blake scooted close to Yang, maybe a tad too close, but Yang didn't seem to mind. Their lips met in a frenzy, sending Yang's mind spinning like a dervish. This was definitely more than she bargained for, but she certainly wasn't complaining.

"Did I not just tell you both 'Not on my couch!'?" Topaz complained with a laugh. The two of them stood up, still kissing, and grabbed their things. Blake gave Paz a nice goodbye as the two of them left for the hotel.

Yang could hardly believe her luck. She texted Ruby to go ahead and get home, and Ruby messaged her saying that she'd already made it there.

\/\/\/\/\/

Day 27: Outfit Swap

I never end up following these prompts. XD

Anyway, more Beez. This is a sequel to ‘Feeling’ from day four, since i kind of left you all hanging with that one.

Late again because my body likes to make me sleep at inconvenient times. Working night shifts can do that to a person, apparently.

‘Out on the Town’

“Are you sure you don’t want to change clothes first? It’s supposed to be a bit cool this evening.” Weiss asked as the two of them left their last class of the day. Weiss wasn’t all that fond of stepping out in a school uniform, even if she and Ruby both looked banging in them. Ruby laughed at her for saying such a thing.

“This is Vale, Weiss. It never gets terribly cold unless it’s winter out. Even then, compared to Atlas it would still be warm.”

“Yeah, I guess you aren’t wrong. So what movie are we going to see?”

“I’ve heard great things about the new Puma Thurman movie,” Ruby suggested. Weiss was intrigued, though one thought could easily kill the evening.

“Please tell me it’s not a musical. Blake has been killing me with the soundtrack for that one lately.” Ruby shook her head.

“I don’t think it’s a musical. I think she stopped doing musicals after that one. It would have been a tough act to follow.” Ruby also loved the film in question. Puma Thurman’s take on the ‘Beauty and the Beast’ fairytale had spun into a fantastic film, although Ruby understood that her girlfriend was not much for musicals. She could get behind a Disney flick any day, but singing animals were never a bad choice.

Weiss took out her Scroll and searched for the movie to find local theater playing times. “There’s a 6:15 showing at the theater down the way from the Diamond Dust resort. Isn’t that one of those 'dinner and a movie’ places?”

“No, that’s the one inside the Diamond Dust. You have to be staying at the resort to get in there. The one you mentioned isn’t a bad spot, though. The snacks are reasonably priced, and the seats are super plush. It’s a real treat for your buns.” Ruby mentioned, saying that last bit before she realized. Weiss raised an eyebrow.

“Well, I do like to treat your buns pretty well…” Weiss smirked. Ruby could not handle that attempt at a joke; she laughed uncontrollably for a minute or two.

“Dust, that was funny!”

“Shush! Maybe I won’t treat your buns that nicely anymore.”

“That’s fine with me,” Ruby shrugged and crossed her arms for dramatic effect. “I still love your buns more than any other ones… except maybe hotdog buns. I’m all about hotdogs.”

“You’re terrible, do you know that?” Weiss rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. Ruby sped over and put one arm around Weiss’s shoulders.

“Isn’t that why you love me, Weiss?” Ruby beamed at her girlfriend. Weiss couldn’t take it anymore. She grabbed Ruby by the waist and pulled her into a kiss. Weiss’s lips were always so soft. Ruby kissed back, hoping she was doing it well. Weiss certainly liked to kiss her, so she must not be awful at it. “You taste like blueberries today,” Ruby informed her, spinning from the kiss.

“I finally ate that muffin I was saving. Did you get new lip balm or something? I caught a hint of melon just now.”

“I lifted some gloss junk from Yang. I don’t know if it looks that great, but it makes my mouth feel good. It’s pretty tasty, too.” Ruby blushed.

“Ruby, you might be the cutest thing ever.”

“I call shenanigans. YOU are the cutest thing ever.” It was Weiss’s turn to blush now. “Anyway, you said something about dinner. Anywhere special you’d like to eat?”

“The movie runs sort of long, so something filling would be great. Do you still like Ursa Major?”

“Still my favorite eats in Vale, yes.”

“Alright, we’ll eat there.” The two of them hailed a taxi and made for Ursa Major. Ruby had a fabulous steak dinner while Weiss had an incredible seared sea bass with a garden salad. They caught another taxi to the theater just in time to grab tickets.

Luckily, this one actually wasn’t a musical. Weiss and Ruby were both glued to the screen, as was anyone when they watched a Puma Thurman movie. Though they did break away to steal kisses from one another from time to time, they were usually fully engrossed in the film.

“That was an excellent movie, Ruby. I’m glad you talked me into it.” Weiss complimented as she hailed one last taxi to get them back to the school.

“Yeah, Puma’s always a great choice! Here’s hoping Blake and Yang haven’t completely demolished the dorm.” Ruby chuckled at her own words.

“Blake said they were watching a Spruce Willis movie, but you know how they are. Also, those movies aren’t very good anyway. They’re more for background noise than actually watching.”

“Yeah, they probably didn’t see anything past the first act…” The two of them laughed at that. This had been quite a nice little date.

Once they got back they found the dorm was not in shambles, much to their delight. Blake and Yang were sprawled across Blake’s bottom bunk together, sleeping softly in each other’s arms.

Once they’d changed into sleepy clothes, Weiss and Ruby crawled into Weiss’s bottom bunk together. Even after a few 'more proper renovations’ Ruby’s bunk felt a bit dangerous to Weiss, especially for two people. After a few kisses and cuddles, the red slayer and the white queen fell fast to sleep. \/\/\/\/\/

\/\/\/\/\/

Day 20: School Uniform

This is pretty much the parallel to this day’s fic from my last challenge, ‘Fantastic Baby’ which featured the Beez hanging out around the dorm while Ruby and Weiss were out having a date.

Also Puma Thurman was an idea I had some time ago, and I think I mentioned her before. It’s a play on their use of ‘Spruce Willis’ from Volume Two.

‘Misery Business’

"Did we have to bring the dog?" Blake complained again as she and Yang walked toward the beach. Zwei trotted along at Yang's feet. Blake had gotten used to the Corgi to an extent, but she still didn't like it following them around all the time. Oh well, she was determined to have an awesome beach day with Yang, dog or no dog.

"Give it a rest, Bee Vomit. We're stuck with him until dad gets home from his mission, and Ruby and Weiss were hitting the gym. Dogs aren't really allowed, and Glynda would probably kill my sister if Zwei wasted his insides in her gym. Speaking of which," she looked at the dog bouncing at her feet, "would you kindly get on with it? I'm trying to have a date here, dude."

BORK! The small grey dog protested. He would expel his waste when he was good and ready. Humans were always in such a rush. He noticed a fire hydrant that looked particularly interesting and decided that would be the place.

"Finally. Good boy." Yang told him as he returned. Blake rolled her eyes.

"You're going to smell like that dog forever now," Blake complained, whipping her hair around.

"Hey, that usually makes you rub yourself against me, and that's an idea you know I can get behind." Yang purred loudly at that remark.

"Keep talking like that and you won't get any behind..." Blake retorted, Yang nearly spitting out the water she'd been drinking.

"Wow, Blake, I've never heard you make a sex joke in regular conversation."

"Well, I've been around Team SSSN pretty frequently lately, since they're visiting from Haven, and those four are a neverending fountain of crotch humor. Not to mention the horrendous jokes about butt stuff..." The kitty Faunus shuddered at the very thought. "I swear if Sun makes one more joke about Neptune's 'trident' I'm going to strangle him with his own tail."

"Isn't he kind of into that?" Blake thought she would vomit at hearing that.

"I try not to ask, and I try harder not to listen. I think Neptune is more into tail play. Dust, please don't make me talk about this anymore." She could see Yang smirking in her peripheral vision and knew this would not end anytime soon.

"I'll allow you not to suffer... for now." Yang's hand reached up and tousled Blake's hair, causing Blake's ears to wiggle. The same hand traveled down Blake's body before landing firmly on her rear.

"Come on, Glucose. Not with people around." Blake groaned though she appreciated the grope. She caught sight of the beachside snack shop and made for the stand. Yang and Zwei followed close by her. Blake ordered a medium salad with a mug of hot tea.

"And for you-- oh my god, can I have your offspring?" The young woman spoke, quickly covering her mouth. "GODS I'M SORRY! You're just so... muscular." The girl's eyes turned to stars at the sight of Yang's incredible arms.

"Thanks, but just so you know, I'm smashing on the cat girl whose order you just took..." Yang replied. This gave Blake an idea.

"Baby, do the thing!" Blake asked. Yang shot her a quick look, but she flexed her right arm anyhow.

"Oh my god," Blake and the cashier both groaned, each of them breathing heavily.

"Your food's on me. The both of you. And even the Corgi, if he'd like something." She told the couple, still starry-eyed at Yang's muscle mass.

"Oh, well I'd like a cheeseburger and a smoothie. Do you have anything raw for Zwei?"

"The only meat that isn't burger meat is our Seafarer Steak, and regulations say I have to cook it. Wouldn't want to get shut down."

"I can see that. He'll have one of those, as rare as you're allowed to do." Yang grinned. She and Blake flipped more than a few Lien at their server. "Buy yourself something you look cute in, though I'm sure you'd look cute in anything."

"Ease up on the flirting, Glucose. Are you trying to out-gay me?" Blake interjected, hardly able to keep a straight face.

"Seriously, Bee Vomit, do I even have to try?" Yang retorted, winking at her girlfriend.

"You two need to stop! I have a shift to work and I can't take much more of this!" The poor server was swooning over the two of them. Blake and Yang shared a laugh as they and Zwei found a table.

"You're seriously just getting a salad?" Yang asked her best girl. Blake wiggled her ears.

"Well, I'm gonna toss this into it." She mentioned as she dug a can of tuna from her pocket.

"OH, MY DUST! BLAKE HAS TUNA IN HER PANTS!"

"Yes, Yang, I do have tuna in my pants. Apparently, everyone here needed to know that, so thanks for sharing that vital information with the entire snack shack." Blake condescended, or at least tried to; her honeypot was too upbeat for any of that.

"CAT EARS AND MUSCLES, since I forgot to take down your names!" The server called out. Blake acquired the food so Yang wouldn't give that poor girl a nosebleed. Blake popped open her tuna and spread it liberally over her glorious salad.

"Oh, and the Struggling Seafarer for the Corgi!" Zwei's head perked up at that, and he trotted over to collect his food. The cashier winked at him as he picked the plate up with his teeth. He returned to the table and tore into his delicious dinner.

"Is it good, boy? Geez, it must be." Yang asked, answering her own question. Zwei seemed to be enjoying his meal just as much as they were enjoying theirs.

BORK! AWOOO! CHOMP!

After their eats, the three of them found a nice spot on the beach to lay out on some towels. Yang complained about her tan wearing off, as she hadn't made the beach since long before the summer started. Blake rolled her eyes, which nearly popped out when Yang tossed off her tank top.

"Good grief, now I know how the snack chick felt. You are so chiseled it's terrible. You have better abs than Sun and better arms than Nora."

"Too bad I don't have better legs than Pyrrha."

"And who says you don't? Hers are much more muscular, but yours are nicer to look at, Honeypot." Blake twitched her eyebrows at her favorite blonde. Yang grinned widely.

"You're too kind, Glucose." Yang rustled Blake's hair with one hand, slapping her behind with the other.

"I knew the suffering wouldn't stop. And here we were, having a cute moment."

"Does my hand being on your butt make it any less cute?"

"I guess not." Blake grinned, resting one hand on Yang's chest. "I hope this moment lasts forever."

"This moment with your hand on my boob?"

"The same as the one with your hand on my ass. It's perfect."

BORK!

"Shut up, Zwei!" Blake complained. "And no, you can't snuggle with us. Not where anybody can see it, at least." Zwei frowned, but he understood. He found a nice spot at the edge of Yang's towel and made a few circles before falling over and sighing loudly.

Day 13: ZWEI

Zwei is one of my favorites. I mean, I named one of my OCs after him, and I took his name for my artistic endeavors. I’m glad he gets a whole day to himself, even if he’s a bit difficult to write about. The usual way is to just have him off in the background or something while I write a shameless shipping story WAHAHA!

But yeah, bees and shit. And inside jokes. @magical-game will understand most of them, and some of the folks that attended NebKon this weekend might recognize one, too.

‘Snow (Hey, Oh)’

The Rooster's Teeth club in downtown Vale was packed nearly to bursting. Ruby kept worrying the Fire Marshal might come shut the concert down. Then again, there would probably be a riot if anything interrupted this show. It was Weiss Schnee performing, after all. Still, it felt almost as though all of Vale had made the scene.

Ruby Rose absentmindedly danced to the tunes coming over the club's PA between sets, sipping her tasty lemonade in between dance steps. She had all the moves... or so she liked to believe. She probably looked ridiculous, but she didn't mind at all. Music was her most favorite thing in the universe... Well, except for Weiss.

The breathtaking Miss Schnee had always tickled Ruby's ears with her powerful voice and her crazy random violin music. Something about Weiss's lyrics drove Ruby wild. Recently, though, she had caught up with Weiss by chance, and the two had become fast friends. The way she looked at Weiss, and the way she sometimes caught Weiss looking at her, she thought they could maybe be more than friends... like cute friends that kiss sometimes or something.

OOH COOKIES!!! Ruby zoomed over to the snack bar and scratched together a few Lien, politely requesting one of the shiny red cookies. The woman behind the counter slipped two of them into a paper bag and passed the bag to Ruby.

"Schnee says you're not supposed to pay, but shall we call this a donation?" She asked. Ruby beamed as she nodded.

"Yeah, I would really like this club to keep its doors open." She replied, the rainbow-haired lady winking and grinning.

But wow, Weiss had told the club to give Ruby free snacks? Perhaps Yang had been right earlier that night.

"If you really dig this girl, you might want to think about dropping the 'L' word..." Her sister had suggested as she brushed her flowing golden locks in a mirror. Ruby had been trying to make her hair cooperate, but the climate in Patch was having none of that.

"...Lesbian?" Ruby queried. Yang couldn't help but chuckle.

"No, hon, the other 'L' word..."

"Lesbians?" She asked again, putting heavy emphasis on the latter S.

"Well, I was gonna say 'love' or 'like', but I bet 'lesbians' would work, too!" The sisters shared a laugh at that. Ruby's smile fell away after a moment.

"I don't even know if she likes girls..."

"Really? Have you ever noticed her band?" Ruby pondered Yang's question for a moment. "Ruby, they're all girls! And they're all fine as all get-out, if you ask me! Weiss Schnee is a gay disaster, and she will totally be into you!" She rushed Ruby and cupped her face in one hand. "I mean, look at this face? How can anyone turn down this face?" Ruby struggled to get free of her sister's grip. "Especially when it's not so far North of those legs..."

"Oh, stop it!"

"Hey, at least you got Mom's legs! I got stuck with Dad's..."

"At least you didn't get Dad's chest!" Ruby chuckled. Yang rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, I definitely got those from her, and more than that, according to Dad." Yang sighed loudly. Ruby frowned at the sound, but Yang grinned lightly. "Hey, at least he talks about her sometimes now. It's not so difficult as it was before. Anyway, enough of this somber talk! Let's get you looking spiffy for your lady-friend!" Yang tossed tiny Ruby over her shoulder and ran into her closet to find Ruby the shiniest threads they could get.

So that's how she wound up in this dynamite red dress, black tendrils hanging from everywhere. it matched her hair perfectly, although it fit her body a bit... tightly. If she leaned over too far, someone might catch a nosebleed. Sure, she had her trusty stockings on as well, but she still felt a tad too large. Thick, even.

Well, she really liked thick girls, so maybe Weiss would too.

The stage lights dimmed significantly, calling the crowd's attention forward. Ruby gulped down the last of her lemonade and made for the stage. She cheered loudly for her favorite girl, as did the rest of the concertgoers. The trumpet girl from the Mechanical Girls took the stage, her neon green eyes and bright orange hair coming to life in the stage light.

She produced her horn and played a royal-sounding fanfare. A flowing white gown appeared at the back of the stage as a violin refrain sounded. Ooh, Weiss's introduction was the best! Ruby squeezed as close to the stage as she could get, wanting to see the white-haired masterpiece and hear her unmatched violin chops.

Weiss swayed and danced to her own music, her gown bouncing and whipping in time. Her long white hair in its off-center ponytail bobbed around, flowing as gracefully as its owner. The violin notes seemed to hang in the air around the stage. The drummer began her fill as Weiss took a short solo. The rest of the band filed in one at a time, and before Ruby knew it the show had begun.

Her first few jams were mostly instrumentals with small vocal chants here and there. Her fourth song was the first with actual singing, a hard-driving masterpiece called 'It's My Turn'.

"WEEEEIIIISSSSSS!!!!!" Ruby yelled at the top of her voice, feeling all sorts of reactions at the sound of Schnee's impeccable singing. A blistering violin solo came during an instrumental break, and Ruby lost it at the sight of Weiss's fingers traversing the instrument's neck and strings. Such precision and agility, such attack and speed. Holy Dust, those fingers!

The song ended with a crash from the guitars and drums, and Weiss scraped her strings viciously. "Thank you all for making the scene tonight!" She spoke as the music died away, receiving raucous cheers. "It's always a pleasure to jam at the Rooster's Teeth! I think this might be my favorite club in Vale!" They audience cheered more at that. Ruby grinned in Weiss's direction, catching a wink back from her.

She thought her soul might leave her body at that.

"So, I don't usually stray far from my setlist, but I've been practicing something pretty diligently lately. See, this song was shown to me by one of my favorite people in the world. She sings it all the time, saying she picked it up from her Dad. Well, I wanted to try and play it for her. So, would you guys be down to try it?" The crowd cheered loudly in agreement.

Weiss began her violin riff, and Ruby's eyes turned to stars as the notes grazed her ears. Weiss was actually playing 'Snow'! Ruby and her dad always jammed Chili Peppers records, and that song was one of her favorites. She danced and bounced in rhythm with her jam. Weiss did craft a nice remix of it. Ruby's eyes definitely had hearts in them, she could feel it.

"RUBY! I'm so glad you came!!" The white-haired beauty told her as she rushed up for a hug after the concert. The warmth of Weiss's arms and the scent of her engulfed Ruby. She thought she might drown in this masterpiece of a woman.

"You learned my song! It was amazing, too!" Ruby finally spoke, hoping her nose wasn't bleeding or anything.

"It was fun to learn, and I knew you'd love it." Weiss winked at her. Ruby felt drunk, whatever that felt like. Weiss had taken over her whole existence in that moment.

"Weiss, I think I'm in lesbians with you..." She announced before she realized the words had come out of her mouth. She instantly prayed for her own quick and untimely death.

"...Lesbians? I like those!" Weiss laughed. Ruby fell at ease at the remark, the ice broken. Albeit awkwardly, but broken still.

"I meant to say 'like' or 'love' or something... I'm sorry." She confessed. Weiss gave her a curious look.

"What a coincidence..." Weiss mentioned. Ruby's eyes narrowed at the frozen apple of her eye. "As it happens, I'm in lesbians with you, too!" Ruby's heart fell out of her body at that, her eyes turning to stars and hearts. She hugged Weiss tightly, enjoying the returned embrace.

"So, does this make us a thing?" Ruby asked, forever polite and awkward.

"Sure, I want to be a thing with you."

"So... does this mean we can make out?"

"RUBY ROSE!" Weiss exclaimed with an unsolicited laugh. "I mean, certainly, but not here! I have an idea. Let's catch a late bite and head back to my place... So we can be a thing." She decided, kissing Ruby's lips. Weiss was just as terrible at flirting as Ruby. She really was a gay disaster, but that's what helped Ruby snag her.

Now that she was done snagging, perhaps she could get up to some shagging. Wait, that sounds like it might be the wrong word. Ugh, I don't know what I'm talking about. All I know is I have the cutest girlfriend in Remnant now, and her legs are making my nose bleed.

It's okay, Ruby, I'm sure everyone understands.

Thanks, ZweI, now shut up and send me on this date!

Yes, ma'am.

And so Ruby and Weiss snagged up some local fast food and talked things over before journeying back to Weiss's flat... to be a thing.

Day Two: Team RWBY Member

I plan to write about the rest of Team RWBY when Crossover Day comes, so I figured I’d give Ruby herself a slot.

Music AU where Weiss Schnee is basically Lindsey Stirling. I’ve done it a few times and it seems to work. Plus, I think Taiyang would jam Red Hot Chili Peppers, and I feel like Ruby would be into them by association.

Also, White Rose shenanigans, since those always seem to get a note or two.
