RWBY: Penny and the Tin Man

Let the Games Begin

Almost hidden among the large crowd of colorful and excited students stud a young girl cloaked in a bright red hood. The girl slowly moved through the crowd of students behind a group of two girls who seemed to be her teammates. When two of the girls in front of her stopped to speak to a couple of new faces that they would likely be grouping up with for the up coming battle, the red hooded girl tried to squeeze in between them but failed. Realizing that her teammate's attention had been absorbed by the new faces and her efforts to squirm through them was futile. She decided a different tactic was in order so she stud up on the tips of her toes in an attempt to gain a better view. It wasn't an easy task to accomplish for her however given her exceptionally small stature in comparison to her fellow pares. Mind you it wasn't as if she was short for her age but rather she was at least two years younger than most of her fellow schoolmates. This was due to her being moved ahead two years for several months earlier. Luckily for her that one of her teammates was rather short for her age and she is able find a good vantage point. While her eyes tracked across the room they came to stop on a familiar pink bow connected to an equally familiar head of curly red hair surrounding an even more familiar small freckled face. Sure enough standing among the crowd was none other than on of the hooded girl's best friends known as the synthetic girl Penny. Penny was standing in the middle of another group of unfamiliar faces. The hooded girl had heard that she had gotten her own teammates when she came to Beacon and guessed that at least a few of them had to be a part of her new team. Then the red hooded girl opened up her mouth as wide as she could and threw her hand up in the air in a waving motion before calling out to the girl in a joyful tone. "Hey Penny, over here!" The synthetic girl's head spun around moving back and forth in sweeping motion until her eyes flicked up towards the red hooded girl's location. When the two's eyes met they both lit up and the synthetic girl quickly broke away from her group and began to make her way through the crowd waving her hand in the hooded girls direction.

"Salutations Ruby!" Penny shouted as she approached.

Then the red hooded girl known as Ruby Rose quickly became a blur of motion zooming around the human blockade that had been completely halting her progress only moments before. Once she closed the distance between herself and Penny she leapt into air and into the now open arms of the synthetic girl before her. Despite the ridicules speed in which Ruby had moved and how little warning Penny had been issued before hand, she easily plucked Ruby out of the air and pulled her into a tight nearly bone crushing embrace. "Oh Ruby, it is so good to see you again!" Penny exclaimed.

"Ah... Penny.. too... tight... can't breathe!" Ruby said before quickly being dropped on to the floor.

"Oh Ruby, I am so sorry! I guess I still don't know my own strength yet." Penny said nervously.

"Oh it's completely alright, look no harm done." Ruby said as she picked herself up of the floor and began dusting herself off. "I can't believe we got put on the same team together! Even if it will only be for this tournament I know we will have a lot of fun together!" Ruby cheered. before placing a finger on her chin like she was lost in thought. "With that said, I didn't even think you were back in Vale yet since you didn't come to the meet up yesterday. Did something happen?" She asked in a slightly worried tone.

"Yes, it is sensational! We're going to have so much fun Ruby friend." Penny agreed.

Ruby then place a finger on her chin like she was lost in thought. "With that said, I didn't even think you were back in Vale yet since you didn't come to the meet up yesterday. Did something happen?" She asked in a slightly worried tone.

"Wait a meet up?" Penny asks in a slightly confused tone before taking a moment to play back the record of the last talk she had, had with Ruby.
