Famous for a reason

Chapter 1

"Did you hear? She's actually coming to Beacon!"

"I'm so excited. I wonder what she's here for."

And many other remarks filled with the same excitement filled Blake's sensitive hearing. Blake knew what the commotion was about. She couldn't say she honestly disagreed with the hype either. Blake was also a fan after all. Maybe not to the extent of hanging posters on the walls, or the extreme of playing host to a cardboard cutout, but Blake looked up to the veteran huntress. Who didn't? She was the model of what a huntress should be. Caring and compassionate, brave and strong, and always humble, no matter the magnitude of feat she accomplished. Oh yes. Blake Belladonna was definitely "looking forward" to seeing The Ruby Rose at Beacon.

"Hey Blake." Yang greeted as she sat next to the cat eared faunus in the cafeteria.

"Morning Yang. You seem eager this morning. What's up?" Blake asked, already guessing the reason behind Yang's enthusiasm.

"Oh yeah, I'm really excited for a special visit." Yang said eagerly.

"Ruby Rose, huntress extraordinaire. I know. I've got to say, even I'm a little excited." Blake replied with a bit more enthusiasm than normal.

"Yeah! I guess everybody is buzzing about her. It's been a while, so I guess I'm really looking forward too it. Anyway, I'm going to go get some food, so I'll catch you later." Yang said as she got up from her seat and walked towards the slowly moving line.

"Wait. What do you mean "been a while."?" Blake tried to ask but her voice was masked by the scattered conversations in the large open room. Blake didn't pay it much mind. She figured Yang would be back in a moment and she would be able to ask again.

Blake waited patiently for a few moments before feeling her scroll vibrate in her pocket. She reached to retrieve the device and noticed that it was Weiss trying to contact her. Blake quickly got up and hurried out of the loud room so she could answer her scroll. Once she reached just outside the cafeteria doors she answered.

"Blake?" Said a voice from the other side of the scroll.

"Hey Weiss, what do you need?" Blake answered casually.

"Get to the room! I need help!" Weiss said in an extremely out of character panicked tone and immediately disconnected the call.

Blake was confused to say the least. Blake didn't think Weiss was in any sort of trouble, but figured if Weiss Schnee, the Icequeen of Beacon was distraught, she should probably not make her wait. Blake didn't rush but walked at a brisk pace. As she reached the door she heard rustling from the other side. Blake opened the door and was greeted by boxes littered all around the room. Most taped closed and others filled over the rim.

"Uhhh, Weiss? I'm positive these weren't here before." Blake commented while looking at Weiss inquisitively.

"I know. I had them delivered." Weiss said while sifting through one of the boxes.

"What is all this exactly?" Blake asked while picking up an item inside one of the opened boxes.

"Only all my things pertaining to Ruby Rose." Weiss said a little too proudly.

Blake looked at the item in her hand seeing it was a plush doll of the famed huntress. Looking around more she found dolls of various sizes, t-shirts, and figurines of the esteemed scythe weilder.

"I've got to say Weiss, I never thought you, of all people, would be such a fan of anything." Blake commented deadpan.

"Wh- ofcourse I would collect all the memorabilia I could. I want to exemplify her. She is everything a huntress should be and more. All this is merely a token of support and respect for her." Weiss said with pride. Blake felt it was misplaced pride.
