Chat Amongst Friends

Y/N POV

The following Sunday I walk back down the streets of Vale searching for Blake. We've been searching since sun up but kept coming up empty handed.

Ruby: "She's been gone all weekend. I'm starting to get worried."

Yang: "It'll be okay lil sis. We'll find her."

Ruby: "I can only hope so."

We keep searching clear till noon.

Ruby: "Where are you Blake?"

We look at Weiss who's just walking.

Ruby: "You're not helping Weiss."

She remains silent.

Yang: "Do even care about Blake?"

She stops walking looking at us.

Weiss: "Of course I do! It's just-"

She sighs.

Weiss: "My father is a very controlling man. He made it his mission to make sure we lived by his will. If we strayed then he'd put us back in line. Often times forcibly. It was horrible growing up. Having to go out of my way to please him. At first it was hard. But eventually being mean was all I knew how to do. But then I came here. I gained freedom and knew I could go back to my old self. But I guess all those years of hatred stuck."

We all look down. I then float to her.

Y/N: "Life is never easy. Sometimes we have to forgo who we truly are just to fit in. But now you have a chance to show who you truly are. It might be hard, but don't worry. You'll always have us by your side."

She smiles.

Penny: "Well said."

We scream seeing Penny.

Ruby: "What're you doing here?"

Penny: "Enjoying the kingdom. What're you guys doing here?"

Y/N: "We're searching for our friend Blake."

Penny: "Oh, you mean the Faunus girl?"

Yang: "How did you know?"

Penny: *points to head* "The cat ears?"

Yang: "What cat ears? She always wears... a bow..."

There's silence.

Y/N: "She has depleted our tuna supply on several occasions."

Penny: "So where is she?"

Ruby: "We don't know. We're actually looking for her at the moment."

Penny: "Oh no. Well don't you worry. I won't rest until she's found."

Y/N: "This could prove useful. The more eyes we've got the more ground we can cover. Right guys?"

I look only to find them already gone.

Y/N: "Well that was kinda rude."

Penny and I walk down the street.

Penny: "So Blake is your friend?"

Y/N: "Yes."

Penny: "But she ran away?"

Y/N: "Correct."

Penny: "Why?"

Y/N: "I don't know. But I believe it has to do with her being an ex White Fang member."

Penny: "She was in the White Fang?"

Y/N: "Yes."

Penny: "Wonder why she never said anything about it."

Y/N: "I can't say for certain."

Penny: "Can I ask you a question Y/N?"

Y/N: "Of course."

Penny: "You ever feel like you don't know yourself? Like you're not quite sure who you are?"

Y/N: "Yes."

Penny: "Care to explain?"

Y/N: "Years ago I awoke with recollection of who I was or where I came from. I tried, but my memory banks were corrupted. Ever since then I wondered what it is that I can't remember. I fear I may have been someone different."

Penny: "You think you were evil?"

Y/N: "Not necessarily evil. Like someone other than what I am now. It's hard to explain."

She pats my head.

Penny: "Well don't worry. I'm sure you were always a sweet person."

I smile hearing her words. 

Y/N: "You're a good friend Penny."

Penny: "Thank you."
