RWBY: (Genius Gamer Shadow) Ex-Aid Reader x Ruby Rose (BOOK 1)

Volume 2: Painting the Town...

I smiled before I began how my life started well at Beacon. I told him all about the things that happened at the initiation, and how fun the the days went by. I told him all about the problems I have faced as a leader of my team, and since I am a team leader myself during my 'youthful years', he gave me some pretty good advises. But by the time I told him I got myself a girlfriend, my father won't stop asking thousands of questions like, "How old is she?", "Is she beautiful, cute, or smart?" and what not. With the time slowed down, I can already assume that this is going to be a very long day, with having to let Tenka and Emu hear about this and chatting with my father too.

----MEANWHILE----

3rd Person's POV:

Ruby: Penny, I-I don't understand...

Penny: Most girls are born, but I was made. I'm the world's first synthetic person capable of generating an Aura. I'm not real...

Ruby takes Penny's hands in her own. She opens them to reveal the scratches, before closing Penny's finger together.

Ruby: Of course you are. You think just because you've got nuts and bolts instead of squishy guts makes you any less real than me?

Penny: I don't... um... You're... taking this extraordinarily well.

Ruby: You're not like those things we saw back there. You've got a heart, and a soul; I can feel it!

Penny: Ooohh... oh Ruby. You're the best friend anyone could have!

She grabs Ruby into a hug and shakes her back and forth, prompting her to give a muffled groaning.

Ruby: I can see why your father would want to protect such a delicate flower!

She releases her hold from Ruby, as she fully goes back to her happy self.

Penny: Oh, he's very sweet! My father's the one that built me! I'm sure you would love him!

Ruby: Wow... He built you all by himself?

Penny: Well, almost! He had some help from Mr. Ironwood, too.

Ruby: The General?!

Penny: Yes! Although, he didn't exactly built me. He was the one who designed my Aura-Generating core, and the weapons I use.

Ruby: Whoa. Wait... Is that why those soldiers were after you?

Penny: They like to protect me, too!

Ruby scoffs as she gives Penny an unconvinced look.

Ruby: They don't think you can protect yourself?

Penny: They're not sure if I'm ready yet... One day, it will be my job to save the world, but I still have a lot left to learn. That's why my father let me come to the Vytal Festival. I want to see what it's like in the rest of the world, and test myself in the Tournament.

Ruby: Penny, what are you talking about? Save the world from what? We're in a time of peace!

Hearing her statement, Penny tilts her head in confusion.

Penny: That's not what Mr. Ironwood said...

Soldier 1: Check down here!

Penny then grabs Ruby by the shoulders.

Penny: You have to hide!

Then suddenly, she lifted the red-hooded girl above her head, without much effort. Ruby struggles and screams as she is carried toward the dumpster.
