"Go! Go! Power Rangers!" Ruby hit the snooz button. Rapping herself in her blanket she continues to sleep. She was having a nice dream. Dream her was the red ranger and all of her best friends were the other rangers. They didn't have the boring weapons from the old show, no they had much better weapons. They're weapons were the same weapons they always talk about in the Heroes Club.

Mean while on the rode, the school bus stops at her driveway then continues on it's way. Ruby missed it. But Fighting dream monsters is more important than school. All it is is her future. That doesn't matter.

Right when the rangers were about to take down the big bad guy, he shouted. "Yang hurry up! We're going to drive to school without you!" It was weird because it sounded like a teenage girl.

The sound of books slamming on the floor woke her up fully. She looked over to her sister's desk. She was standing by it searching through her things. "Hold on! Just let me find my math homework!" The worst part of sharing a door with your sister is being woken up by her and her friends.

Ruby tried to ignore it, but a loud sigh from behind the door wouldn't let her. "Yang, you gave me your homework so you wouldn't lose it." Blake said, clearly bother by her friend's forgetfulness. Blake and Yang have been best friends since last year. It was an interesting friendship. The two girls were opposites of each other, but somehow the two work. Really well, actually. So well that Ruby sometimes feels like Yang would rather have Blake as a sister.

Yang stopped what she was doing as Ruby closed her eyes again. "Oh, yea, I remember now!" She took her bag from off the floor. She slowly brought it to her back as she looked around the room. 'I need to clean this up before Ruby gets home from school.' She thinks to her self. 'Good thing she's probably already to school by now.' She looks over to her little sister's empty bed-its not empty. She looks at Ruby and the door. She goes out the door and slams it as loud as she can hoping it will wake her up.

It did. Ruby falls out of bed, the slam of the door scared the cookies out of her. She looked at her alarm clock. "Yep, its half past I'm screwed P.M.!" Ruby yells as she grabs a pair of black sweat pants. She changes out of her pajama bottoms and grabs one of her red hoodies from off the floor. No time to look for a clean shirt so she pulls it over her head. No time to brush her hair either, looks she's going for the hobo look today. She takes her bookbag from off her desk chair. Shoving her shoes on she prepares for the run of a life time. Deciding its best to have water for when she's at school and exhausted, she grabs five water bottles without seeing how many and throws them along with her phone and headphones.

"Okay ready! Wish me luck mom!" She tells the picture of her hate mother as she rushes out the door at top speed. Ruby isn't just a girl with a lot of brains, she's also holds the record of fastest distance runner. Of curse that record was in her last school, but it still counts. Most people said that the only reason they went to watch the cross country meets was to watch Ruby run.

Now Ruby doesn't have much time for cross country. To stay in highschool she needs to keep at least a steady 3.5 grade point average. Also to stay in highschool she needs not to be late two days in a row. Yesterday's tardy involved Ruby, Weiss, and a few pints of paint Weiss was carrying. Needless to stay, they both were late that day. That happened to be Weiss' first tardy,EVER, but Ruby doesn't know that yet.

Now the only thing she needs to focus on is running. 'Left foot, right foot, left foot...' She thinks as she moves her legs as fast as she can. 'Left foot, right foot- jump!' She jumps over a log in the path. Her family's house is on top of a hill surrounded by trees, so sicks in her past are common. Luckily, she's going down a hill so her speed is fast without much effort. 'Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot-jump!'

She was too late on the jump and trips over it. Her only thought as she's falling is,"OH COME ON!" Bird in the trees fly away as she rolls down the hill. If people wouldn't think she was a hobo before, they will after this. As she rolls she gets sticks in her hair and mud on her clothes. She doesn't look like a hobo, she looks like a zombie.

Finally she gets to flat ground. She walks straight a head but stops when she realizes straight a head of her is the road. If she would have kept rolling... She doesn't want to think about that. She caches her breath and prepares to run again. Part of her justs wants to give up and call in sick, but she can't. Today she has an important math test. Normal people would just take it a different day, but Ruby feels awkward about that.

Taking a deep breath she starts running again. 'Come on, Ruby Rose, you can do it!' She thinks. 'Just a little further!' She runs faster than she ever has. All of her attention is on running. She sees nothing but the sidewalk ahead of her.

That's a problem for Jaune, whose driving next her in his yellow pickup truck. He has to hand it to his young friend, she's pretty fast. Still, she'll past out before she'll make it to school. Its like two miles away. He's calling her name to get her to get in so he can give her a ride. Finally he honks the horn.

A loud sound next to her made Ruby jump. "Holy French fries!" She yelled, but she was too out of breath for it to make sense. Turning where the noise came from she cried in joy. There right next to her was Jaune Arc in his old truck with the yellow paint peeling off. But to her now it was Cinderella's carriage. "Jaune!" She was so over joyed she could kiss him.

"Hey, Ruby! Get in." She does as she is told. Jaune's passenger side door doesn't open, so she climbs in through the open window. Once she's in and has a seat belt on, Jaune drives. After about a half of a minute, he says,"I'm just gonna say it, you smell awful."

Ruby holds in a laugh and response as seriously as she can. "See, Jaune, this is why you can't get a girlfriend! You can't just tell a girl she smells!"

He looks away from the road for a second and looks at her. "Your a girl? For the longest time I thought you where a wolf." It was a joke between them and their friends that Ruby was raised by wolfs. They don't know she and Yang are sisters. "For a girl you smell bad. I'm really regretting letting you in my car." He stops when he sees a stop side.

While the car is stopped Ruby moves to the meddle seat. "Well, now you have to deal with it. Deal with the smell Jaune!" Unlike most girls Ruby likes gross stuff. She finds it funny. Really she wanted to be closer to Jaune. She has a bitty crush on him. She also has a bitty crush on Weiss, the girl he likes and the one who wants her head.

"Ruby, your so weird!" He jokes. Truth be told he's also weird. That's why the get along so well. "This is why you can't get a boyfriend!" Remembering that Ruby is pansexular, he adds, "Or a girlfriend! Or a hamster! Not even other animals can deal with your gross wolf smell!"

"I'll have you know my dog loves me."

"Dogs also love the taste of poop." The two continued to playfully bicker all the way to school.
