"I love Neptune, Ruby... I'm sorry." Weiss spoke softly, making Ruby's eyes widen. Neptune? No- he couldn't love Weiss. He wouldn't treat her right, only Ruby knew what Weiss was like- how she loved her coffee in the morning and how she liked her cookies baked.

"B-But-!" Ruby began, but jumped when Weiss slammed her palms on the desk.

"Love is love, Ruby! It's not your fault I don't love you- it's just Neptune captured my heart first!"

  And you broke mine first, Ruby mentally added. "Okay... I'm sorry, Weiss..." She said, stood up and walked to the door, shutting it behind her in a delicate manner. Weiss didn't like the door slammed, after all. Weiss remembered her slumped figure, and wondered if she had been a bit too harsh.

Ruby let out another angered scream and cut the training dummy in half, so the stuffing exploded out. She panted, dropping Crescent Rose as she fell to the floor, landing in a sitting position. The picture she had used of Neptune slowly fell to the floor, and landed by her feet, making her scowl and grab it. She ripped it to pieces as best she could, and scattered it on the ground- like confetti.

   "I swear to Monty, if you hurt my Weiss, I'll kill you." She whispered, getting up and putting her weapon away. She kicked the torn paper and then ran to the dorm building.

"Rubbles! Where have you been?" Yang asked, trapping her sister in a bear hug. "Ew- gross! Why're you so sweaty?"

"I was... training. Had to clear my mind." Ruby replied, shrugging so Yang removed her arms.

"You should go get a shower, then. Since it's not a school day, Weiss and Ruby went to go get some food. You-"

"I know how Weiss likes decency." Ruby cut her off. "Get my pyjamas and a towel for me, please." She said, and began to gather her showering equipment. Yang nodded, rummaging around, before she pulled out her little sister's pyjama set and set it on her bed, followed closely by a dark red towel.

"Didn't your towel used to be white?" Yang asked, and Ruby's eyes widened, and she was thankful her back was turned to her older sister. She shook her head.

"No, I got a new one, remember? I felt left out all you guys had towels corresponding to your name colour so I got a red one." Ruby replied, putting her shower gel in the bag before she grabbed her stuff, plopping the cosmetics bag on top of the pile. "Seeya." She said, walking to the door.

"Have fun-!!" Yang jumped when Ruby slammed the door shut. "Gee... I wonder what's up with her," Yang whispered, and shrugged. "Probably angry because she's sweaty." She then began to set up the area where they were all going to eat.

Ruby stared at her small, fragile body in the mirror. She was covered in water droplets and blood droplets, and she sighed, not feeling any pain. "It's at least the 100th time I've cut and I still don't feel any pain... stupid blade," She mumbled angrily, dropping it in her bin. She then washed off all the blood, and began to dry off. She slipped on some underwear, followed by bras, then her rose pyjama bottoms and top. She leaned forward and began to dry her hair, when she finished, standing up and smiling at the small frizz in the mirror. She put the towels and her clothes in her hamper, put on some socks, grabbed her cosmetics bag and avoided all the puddles and got out of the shower room.

When she reached the dorm room, she put her hand on the door knob to hear chattering from inside. Her eyes widened when she realized Weiss and Blake were back. She opened the door, put her cosmetics bag away, and sat down beside Yang and crossed her legs on her bag. Yang had decided they were all eating on the floor on the rug and Weiss hadn't agreed with this, but done what she was asked anyways.  "I got your favourite, Ruby," Weiss said, and slid Ruby her meal. "Chicken salad with pasta. I also got you a strawberry shortcake for afterwards and chocolate milk." Ruby smiled and opened the box to the pasta.

"Thanks, Weiss. What did everyone else get?" Ruby asked.

After everyone had finished eating, they had all said goodnight and got into bed. Ruby sat upright, checked if everyone was asleep, and took out her scroll, calling Neptune.

   "Hiya, Ruby--"

"Shut up. Don't speak. Meet me at the gardens." Ruby instructed, ending the call and gingerly getting out of bed, trying to not wake everyone up. If Neptune didn't agree to letting Weiss go, Ruby was going to take more action.
