I jumped giddy with excitement and hugged my younger sister, hazel, tightly. I probably hugged her way too tight, but I didn't care.
"Sis...can't...breathe..." She choked out, and I released her. I was grinning super wide, almost to the point of it being creepy. "You seem a little excited..."
"Of course I'm excited! I'm going to beacon! I might even meet Pyrrha!" I couldn't contain my excitement, and to add on, I had the chance to meet somebody I looked up to.
"Geez ember...I get you're excited but still, you're gonna need to calm down eventually..." She spoke slowly, she was only 13, so she didn't understand as much about what I did, but regardless she didn't like violence.
"Why are you excited to go to a school about fighting monsters anyways?" She asked, confused.
"I could finally be the hero in the stories!" I said it as if it was a dumb question, "and besides, it's fun."
She shrugged and tried to speak, but she was cut off by a knock on the door. I looked through the peephole and saw my best friend rose. Rose is a very small girl, only about 5'3" compared to my 5'8", and she's about 100 pounds soaking wet. She usually likes to wear her pink boots and short shorts with white thigh high socks and a white sleeveless shirt. Her hair is the same pink as her shorts and boots.
I threw open the door and squealed at her with excitement. It was kind of hard to make out, but I said, "I got accepted to beacon!" Rose said the exact same thing in unison with me. We both hopped and giggled with excitement as we hugged.
I turned around just in time to see hazel roll her eyes. I walked up to her and put my arm around her, dragging her to me.
"Cmon sis," I said, "be happy, I'm gonna live my dream."
"Ember please stop." She replied quietly.
"Alright fine," I jokingly groaned with a giggle afterwards. I looked over to rose and asked, "you wanna help me gather my stuff?"
Rose grinned and started walking to my room. She knew where it was because she practically lived with me.
"I still can't believe this is happening," I said when I got up there, "it's all so surreal..."
"It's a dream come true!" Rose said, giddy with excitement. "I've been wanting this since I was younger than hazel."
"Yeah it's a shame she doesn't want this..." I was kinda disappointed, but she's my sister, so it was fine. "But hey, she likes music, why not let her pursue that?"
"She is an amazing singer, almost as good as I am a shot." Rose did a bow and arrow motion in the air. Her weapon was a bow with dust arrows, and she was really good with it.
"Yeah, at least she'll be safe. That's half of why I'm doing this. Somebody needs to be able to protect her." I shrugged and grabbed a suitcase from my closet.
"You're a good sister, I know she'd never admit it out loud cause she's a stubborn 13 year old, but she loves you."
I smiled widely at that. "Thanks Rose, I feel like you're Low key saying you love me as a friend, so I love you too."
Rose grinned and shrugged. "you know me too well," she said, opening up my dresser, "but you don't know how to wear different clothes, this is all the same stuff."
"Rose..." I said, slightly defensively, "I've never seen you in anything but that, pajamas, or a swimsuit, and I've known you 9 years."
She laughed it off. "So?" She replied, "I look cute."
"I look cute too!" I defended, "and you know it."
"But I'm cuter," she replied, frolicking around me and giggling.
"Yeah whatever," I groaned, trying to hide my laugh, but it escaped. "Just help me pack my clothes..." I said shakily through the laugh.
"Alright fine..." She said, grinning and giggling as she walked back over to my dresser And brought me more clothes. She looked up and saw old wooden tonfas.
"Are these the originals? From when you first started signal?" She asked, pointing to them.
"Yeah that's what I started with, Ignis and Aestus are folded up on the top shelf in my closet though." Ignis and Aestus were my bladed tonfas that were combined with a gun, but I had a pad for the blades so I could hold it Kamas style. I painted flames on them too for fun.
Rose grabbed the wooden ones off the wall and held them, mocking me.
"Oh look at me! I'm Ember! I'm tall and slender and pretty but don't worry, i can still kill Grimm." She winked at me and laughed.
"Flawless impression..." I said jokingly and sat down on my bed, crossing my right leg over my left. "You could replace me at home and nobody would know."
"Except for the fact that your thigh highs hit my belly button." She shrugged and perked up. "Do you have any extra of your outfit? I wanna try it on."
I raised a brow, "sure...just pull one out of my closet. It won't fit though, maybe you'll have better luck with hazel's clothes." I teased her and giggled.
"Ha ha very funny." He said, throwing off her shirt and grabbing my clothes from my closet. She put my clothes on, but it was all way too long for her. She had to hold up the skirt, but the thigh high tights were falling down, and her hands barely reached the end of the sleeves. I had to suppress a giggle.
"You need help?" I asked, getting up, walking up to her. I bent down and pulled the tights up so they would stay up.
"Thanks..." She said, half blushing, but also not. She struck a model pose, which drew a giggle out of both of us.
Just then my mom walked in to Rose doing a slightly sexy pose, and me holding tights to her legs. I blushed slightly and laughed nervously.
"Hi mom..." I asked, pulling my hands off of Rose, "how was work?"
"Work was good..?" She said slightly confused. "And hello Rose..?" Rose waved back to my mom.
"Can Rose stay for dinner? And can I go to her house after? She helped me pack for beacon so I wanna help her."
My mom perked up and said, "wait ember slow down? Pack for beacon?"
"Oh yeah," I said, a grin forming on my face, "we both got accepted to beacon."
"Oh honey that's great!" She said, wrapping me in a bear hug. I tapped her shoulder and she let me go. I had to take a deep breath when she did.
"So can I?" I asked, referencing the earlier question.
"Yeah that's alright," she answered, "just don't be dumb please."
"We'll be fine I promise." I said to my mom as she went to go talk to hazel. I shut the door and let out a nervous laugh.
"That was bad timing..." I said to her, still kinda blushing.
"Aww ember is blushing." She replied, teasing me.
"I'll put my hands on you again," I retorted sassily, "let's see how that goes for you."
Rose winked at me and turned around to change back into her clothes. I laid down in my bed with my feet hanging off. Once Rose changed she did the same, but her feet were far from the edge.
"We're finally going to beacon..." She said softly in disbelief.
"Yeah..." I replied, I didn't have much more to say about it, the realization had just hit me. "We've gotta be teammates right? No matter what?"
"Of course," she answered, "we started this trip together, we're gonna go through it together."
I looked over to her with a grin. "Pinkie swear?" I asked giggling. The last time we had done that was when we were 10.
Rose laughed and said, "Em...its been like 7 years since we've done that. So I will." She stuck out her pinkie and I locked mine around hers.
I heard my mom call us down so I kicked myself up off the bed, and Rose simply rolled off. I opened my door and let Rose through. I straightened my skirt as I walked down to my mom.
"So what was that about when I walked in?" She asked me, raising a brow in curiosity.
"Well, Rose wanted to try on some of my clothes, so I let her, but in case you can't tell, I'm a little bigger than her. So she had to hold the skirt up, but the thigh highs were falling, so I held Those, and she jokingly struck a pose, it was nothing."
My mom grinned a little bit and waved us to the bathroom. "Alright just wondering, now go get washed up for dinner."
I brought Rose along and we washed our hands. My dad got home just as we were about to start eating. My mom told him the news and he congratulated us, and he seemed much more excited than my mom. From then on it was a pretty normal dinner, with no mention of the clothes fiasco.
After dinner I said by to my parents and hazel and started walking to Rose's house. It was a kind of chilly and windy night, so my thighs and shoulders were super could. Rose felt the same, so we quickly rushed over to her house.
Once we got inside we said hello to her parents, but we soon got distracted by a news report. The notorious Roman Torchwick tried robbing a dust store, but got stopped by a 15 year old girl of all things. Rose shrugged and went up to her room, and I followed her up.
"I'd try on some of your clothes, but they're probably way too small for me, sooo..." I said with a shrug, my voice trailing off.
"That's fine," she shrugged, "not like you needed to, besides, my mom would probably come up as I'm trying to get the shorts on you, and I'd like to avoid that." She laughed softly.
"Do you mind if I use your phone to call my mom? It's cold outside and I don't wanna walk home in that..."
"Yeah it's fine, you know where it is." She nodded her head out the door as she kept getting her stuff together.
I came back in minutes later, telling Rose I was staying over. I helped her finish packing, and by the time we finished it was already 11. We climbed into bed together, we were both too lazy for me to find somewhere else to sleep.
"'Night Rose." I said with a huge smile on my face.
"Goodnight Em, I'll see you in the morning." She replied with a yawn. We both fell asleep together shortly after that.
