Can't we all just get along

Oh I did it again this is officially the longest chapter... sorry for everything
but first let me tell you a story
======================================================
"I want that essay done by next week and don't use the excuse that this is your first week " Glinda ordered as we left our class on dust and because we had her I didn't get to talk to anyone, no one got to talk in fact but at least we get a break for a while before our last couple of lesions. I get to the food court/ dining hall/ grand hall and see all of team RWBY and JNPR at one table, how they got there first I will never know. Now being there new team mate I should get to know them better than just there names, I start to walk over and see them all talking to each other, it almost looks like there planting something. "Hey" I say trying to be as casual as possible nothing wrong about me but as soon as the word leaves my mouth there heads all quickly turn to look at me. There's a long pause before Ruby decides to break the silence, "hey Y/N, you didn't by any chance hear, well I don't know, what we were just talking about?" That sound like she's hiding something "Ruby I may have only known you for like a day and have never had a conversation longer than two words but I know that your hiding something" I say squinting at her "what! no, I mean. ehh" she said looking around the table for help "we planing something for you" Weiss says "but it a SECRET" there's Nora again jumping in "yeah after what Oz said about you being our new team mate and you missing all the celebrations" i hear Yang say before Blake cut in "you could hardly call that much of a celebration" Blake is always so uninterested when she's talking but sometimes you can here some excitement seep through the cracks "I doesn't mater about what happened it matters that he wasn't there" Yang says looking across at Blake "it was fairly fun, I must admit" Weiss says as she looks up to help her think back "your party was nothing compared to ours, isn't that right Pyrrha?" Jaune call out from the other end of the table "yeah I was very fun" Pyrrha replies not sounding so sure "at least ours had good music" Ren says become her causing Yang to go into a fit from the other end of the table "OH YAEH?!" "YEAH!" Nora says for some reason in place of Ren but why-.. oh I get it "can we get back to what we were talking about?" I say before a fight starts "your safe for now blondie" Nora says taking her seat again "who said I was ever in trouble?" Yang says as she takes her seat "thank you now what were you planing again?" Hopping that they will tell me there secret "nice try Y/N but as Nora said we have all decided that it is a secret" Pyrrha says, why did she have to be smart, I realized it in the last class that she is a rank above everyone here "we will have all the plans made by tomorrow" Weiss probably the best at school knowledge out of us "well then I guess it's my mission to make one of you talk before then isn't it?" Looking at Ruby as I say it, which then make everyone else look at here as well "we're domed" Weiss says covering her face with her hand "well , em, classes" is the last thing I here before she darts off in a burst of roes petals. Well I guess I'm not getting anything out of her to soon, everyone finishes their conversation and checks there scroll for the next class, I do the same and as I'm going through my scroll I think to myself "I managed to hold a conversation" pretty chuffed which myself I find where I'm supposed to be for my next class "one on one combat training with..." then I see the one thing that just runes my mood "Glinda" I hope she's not as bad as she was in our last class. Grudgingly I start going to my next class. "Y/N what up" I hear he hind me as Jaune catches up along side me, "so about our next class" he says "yeah the one on one combat training" I say "yeah well here you ever, done anything like this before?" He looks almost nervous, is he that concerned about me? "Yeah I did sparing in my garden, was more a training ground anyway" I say to help cam his nerves "oh, is that so... would you say we would be like real fighting?" He says not sounding any better "well this is our class, I let you get to know everyone else" he says as he runs off. probably find Pyrrha, she helped him a lot our last class. Is I enter the room, I remember getting my stuff earlier. I look down at my swords "I guess yous are the last peace of home I have huh" I think to myself, resting my hand on one "let's hope I don't need to use them today" I think looking around the theater sized room for anyone I know. Making my way through the crowed I hear "please through the back to the looker room and get into your combat gear" it sounds like Glinda but she isn't in a better mood.
While in the locker room I everyone start so prepare themselves in different ways. Some get changed and just leave like Pyrrha some mutter to themselves something along the lines of "I can do this" similar to Jaune, and some stand in the corner just looking at everyone else, like Blake standing in the corner of the room. I finish getting ready and head over to her "trying to get an idea of who you might fight?" I say turning around to watch everyone else "yeah" she says "see anything that I should know?" I say looking over to her "Not really" she says looking blankly out as the crowd "so tell me what should I know about team RWBY" I say, she looks at me "why are you asking me?" She says "because..." I say looking over to where Yang, Ruby and Weiss are standing having some kind of argument "you don't seem as, busy" then looking back to her. She sighs and says "Yang is pretty simple, a strong close combat fighter nothing much else to it" she says "and her weapon?" I say "two shotgun gauntlets" she says it like that's nothing "Weiss is stuck up, but well trained using her sword and semblance almost perfectly" high praise "Ruby is, not the smartest but there's something about her when she uses that scythe..." she trails off "and you?" She looks back to me "I let you find out" she says starting to walk away "after all we could be put against each other." I wait until she gone and then make my way with the rest of the class.
"Take your seats upstairs please, we have a lot of matches to go through and I would prefer to get through them quickly" Glinda says as the rest of us come back into the room. We all make our way upstairs and find seats, I manage to find a seat next to Ruby "Hey Y/N" she says as I sit down "so how are you feeling after yesterday" really bad "better now, I guess I have you to thank for that" I say kind of embarrassed "well em, it wasn't just me I mean Pyrrha helped as well and we didn't do that much, actually we just stood there and-" "the first match will be Russel Thrush of team CRDL verses Megan Brown of team MAJR" Glinda says cutting off Ruby. Ruby makes some noise that I can't tell if it's a "EW" of excitement or an "OH" of surprise before she says "the first match is starting!"
Looking down on the stage where people would be fighting is honestly quite terrifying, knowing that I will be down there with everyone looking at me. "At least it's not my turn to fight" I think as a lad with a white mohawk and a girl with tanned skin and green over all jacket walks on stage. "Your going down" the boy that I presume is Russel says "no I'm not, but I can direct you there if you'd like" the girl that by process of elimination should be Megan "while indoors the rule as, I'm sure your aware of are no projectiles and no semblance if you can help it" Glinda says, why do I feel like she said that just for me. As he finishes explaining both Russel and Megan take out their own different types of dangers. Megan's as he holds the are more like clubs than daggers and Russel is more traditional. "Ready, begin!"
An intense battle follows with Russel cartwheeling and somersaulting around, in order to get quick jabs in on Megan who would do a big swing in order to fend him off. "Hey Ruby" I hear Yang say "I bet you that Russel wins" I look over and see Ruby contemplating if she should take the bet. I lean over to her and say "I'd take the bet" Ruby looks up at me unsure if she should trust me or not before saying to Yang "okay but if he looses you have to do the laundry for the rest of the week" "your on" Yang replies as we all go back to watching the fight. After a minute or so of Russel going in and back out again before circling around and trying again, Megan lands one of her swings. After that Russel's movements are slow and sloppy and with one more blow to the jaw the first win goes to Megan. As soon as Russel hits the floor I hear not a yes and a no coming from my left then feeling someone grab my arm and start to shake me back and forth, "yes, yes, yes yes yes yes yes" I hear as Ruby looks at be full to the brim with delight. "How did you know?" Ruby says as she starts to cam down "well it's simple really" I start "Russel is fast and able to get past Megan's defenses" "but" Ruby says "but Megan is able to take the small jabs while Russel just wears himself out" I finish "hey no fair you had help!" Yang calls out from the other side of Ruby "a bets a bet sis" Ruby says "and you have a lot of laundry to do" I look back down to the stage as Glinda reveals the next match.
The class goes on and two by two everyone has a match and then almost like it was planed my fight is at the very end " John Clark of team MAJR verses Y/N" I hear all the murmuring of everyone discussing how Glinda didn't say my team, well it's not like she's going to say two now is she. As I get to the end of the stairs the other lad is on the stage waiting for me, if the rest of the matches are anything to go by he will have some weapon similar to mine. I clime the steps onto the stage and wait for Glinda's instructions. "Ready" she stars to say, that's not instructions and so I draw my swords as John takes out a bow and holds it at one end like you would a sword "begin" Glinda says as she backs off "don't think I'm going to go easy on you" John says, now looking at him I can see he uses his bow as a long sword of some type but I think he mainly uses the bow more as a bow than a sword "well, crap" I say in reply to his much cooler but overused trash talk. I can sense everyone holding back some giggles and hear those that don't.
"Well my move" John says as he dashes forward toward me. It seems he's trying to go the more direct, more strength, based rout. When he gets to me he brings down his bow sword as I step to the side, making my way around him he swings his sword around him, scraping it against the ground and making a terrible mark in the flow. I jump to avoid the strike but then feel a sudden impact hit my chest, being forced back by the blow. Dropping to one knee I look up to see him still in a perfect pose. One leg in the air, his body tilted toward the floor using his sword for additional balance. "He kicked me as I dodged" I think to myself "a good follow up attack" but now I think I got this guy figured out. "Hey you okay down there" he says "you can always just give up" well I think it's time I turn the tables on him then "can't we just get along" I say "no" he replies as he begins to charge again, this time I charge back. As we get within striking range John lashes out with a wide, high swing. Using one of my swords I parry the blow and force it upward, using his strike as momentum he attempts to go for another kick but I'm not falling for it twice. I slide under his kick and use my other sword to pivot and take his legs out from under him.
The look on his face is quite hilarious as he falls to the ground, I use this time to get some distance. Then I clicks "I remember you" I sat in my eureka moment "your the lad with glasses and pink slippers right" I didn't realize at first because he hasn't got his glasses on (writers note: yeah even I forgot about this guy). "Are they really as comfortable as they look?" He looks at me still on the ground with the most confused face ever, before rolling backwards onto his hands, then pushing off them and landing on his feet. "God, I've always wanted to do that" he looks at me once more but he isn't confused this time. John face swells with anger as he grips his bow tight, "why, why any you taking this seriously!" With a quick burst of speed he charges at me nothing held back. I prepare my self and hold still, I an't loosing this fight. Within a second he reaches me, he jumps up and bring down his bow full force. The blade cuts through the air as I cross guard to stop it, the sound of metal hitting metal could probably be herd from down the hall as I feel the force of the blow connect with my swords. As the battle of might over our locked blades begins I decide to end the fight. I launch a swift knee into his stomach causing him to talk a step back and clench over, seizing my opportunity I plant the hilt of my sword into the back of his head causing him to fall to the floor.
"Well it looks like we have our-self a winner, well done Y/N and John don't feel to bad, remember half the class lost today" Glinda says not even looking up from her scroll. "Good fight" John says picking himself up off the ground "but you won't win agents me again" I nod giving him a had up "Woowh well done John that was a great fight!" I look up to see Megan with two other people that I guess are the rest of team MAJR "You have some good friends" I say to John still looking up at Megan saying something along the lines of "you know that this is unfair, you weren't aloud use your bow" John looks down to the floor "she I have know her for like two days, why did I run into her in the emerald forest" I guess being on two teams has some benefits after all.
I leave to get changed and by the time I get back Glinda is saying the some last things before the last class. I climb the stairs and rejoin Ruby "that was AWESOME, I'm so glad you won, this is now officially an unofficial win for team RWBY!" Ruby says in her usual cheerful ways "I do my best" I say "no really, I was exhausted watching it especially after you took that hit" that hit, I almost forgot, last time I took a hit like that I could barley move my arm. weird.
Class ends and I walk with Ruby to our next class, carefully planing how to the make her tell me what everyone is planning for me but half way through my master plan Pyrrha walks up to us. "Ruby could I speak with you" Ruby look to me I nod and keep walking to our next class disappointed that my nefarious plan had been ruined.
My next class with Professor Port is on something to do with grim but my bet is that we'll have the first day of fun and then back to proper classes. When I arrive only one or two people are in before me, no one I know. The room is similar to the class room I was in this morning for my meeting with Ozpin but on the boards are detailed drawings of grim. A slightly fat man, the man I know as professor Port stands at his desk watching everyone come in. "Ah Y/N how are you getting on? I didn't get to see you yesterday after you first exam" well I was out cold so that's probably why "good sir" I reply trying to end all possible conversations between us. I take a seat in the front row and wait for everyone else to come in. Eventually everyone comes in Blake sits next to me and then yang, Ruby comes in at the end with Pyrrha. I wonder what they could have been talking about, "The surprise!" I think to myself that must have been it, dammit I'm an idiots.
Class starts and Professor Port start off by telling us a story from his youth I zone in and out of it but I get the basic story. Something to do with him and some grim and he captured it and he was proud and an old man that smelt like cabbages. The only thing that I'm more interested in is how Ruby has the shortest attention span in the world. Like one second she's doing one thing and the next she's doing something completely different. At some point during Port's lecture Professor Port asked the question "who here has the embody of these trades?" I instantly lower my head in an attempt not to be seen because I have no clue what the entire question was. "I do sir" Weiss says before Port just picks someone at random "well then, let's find out. Step forward and face your opponent" I think everyone in the class then realises that there is a steel cage with a boarbatusk in it.
We all wait for Weiss to get changed back into her combat gear, although she will still be fighting in a skirt so I don't know why she is bothered to change. I take this time to ask the rest of the group "why does she always seem so bossy" the first reply I get is from Blake "because she's Wiess Schnee" Yang then elaborates on that point "I can see how all that welt has made her a little more cranky than the rest of us" I nod in agreement but can't stop myself from asking "how rich are we talking?" dam mouth your supposed to obay me "she the daughter to the Schnee dust company making her one of the richest people in the hole of Remnant" Blake informs me, making my jaw hit the floor. The rest of he time were waiting is silent after that.
Weiss returns in her white combat skirt and top with sword in hand.she takes a ready stance in front of the cage. "Go Weiss!" Yang says "fight well!" Blake says waving a little flag (I didn't get any flags...) "yeah represent team RWBY" I then watch as Wiess turns to Ruby "Ruby I'm trying to focus" she barks, leaving Ruby left to apologise.
"Alright, let the match begin" Professor Port says before cutting of the lock to the cage, such a waste of a lock. The beast charges out of the cage at Weiss, I think she can handle one grim so I turn to Blake and whisper "sorry to bother you again but, why is Weiss so hostile tward Ruby?" She looks down knowing that this might just be what she has to do from now on, but she does turn to me and whispers back "I think it's a mixture of things" she wipers "like what?" I whisper back "like the way Ruby's a year younger than us and is the most childish but is also the team leader" she replies. I nod then go back to the match, where Weiss has lost her sword. "Isn't that just one thing" I whisper again, Blake sighs a long sigh "it two points she doesn't like about Ruby and then them coming to together to do the one thing she can't stand" she whispers"so she doesn't like that Ruby childish, and younger than her but still in the school, but when she was chosen as team leader over how that was crossing a line" I whisper "yes" she whispers "why didn't you just say that then" I whisper. She looks at me more cross than I think I seen anyone in my life "no, no I'm sorry what you said was perfectly fine you have been a great help I'm so glad your here thank you" I quickly whisper towing my hands up to surender but she just turns back to the match, I told you mouth, that's strike two.
The match ends with Weiss getting help from Ruby to finish off the boarbatusk before but giving out to her for it then, leaving not saying a word.
Everyone packs up there thing and gets ready to leave, when I finish packing up my stuff I look up to see Ruby rush of after Weiss. "Hey thanks Blake for all your help today" I say "I should probably go talk to all of team JNPR before the day ends, plus it seems like your team has some issues you need to sort out" looks at me "good day then" and walks off, I really thought we were getting along.
I start walking and manage to catch up to Jaune on my way out of the class. "Hey Jaune" I say as if we were old friends meeting up after years "oh, Y/N, come to see team JNPR" he says "yep, I didn't really get to talk to all of you like, all day" I say "yeah..." he stops looking for something to say "that thing with Weiss, I mean can't we all just get along" he says, eventuality "hey want to come over to our dorm for a bit and talk to everyone there?" He adds "yeah sure, but will everyone be okay with that?" I say, he looks around and then stops looking ahead of us "hey Pyrrha!" He shouts "do you think Ren and Nora would mind if we brought Y/N back to the dorm?!" I look over the crowd to see Pyrrha standing there, awkwardly, before calling back "no, we would be glad for him to be our guest" we continue to walk down the hall I choose to ignore the fact that Jaune didn't ask if Pyrrha minded.
======================================================
Your done take a breather. relax whatever you need to do but yeah that was long about 4114 words long but I hope it was enjoyable I hope to write stuff about this long every chapter but that depends on the chapter so next we get into some uncharted territory and maybe a reveal or two, not even I know. Manly because I haven't written it yet but who knows?
