Anakin and his adventures in Remnant: A RWBY Story

The Girl Of The Sea

"The Vytal Festival! Oh, this is absolutely wonderful!" Weiss cheers stopping to raising her arms in amazement. Rex, Lilly, Anakin, and Team RWBY are in the streets of Vale which is decorated in time for the Vytal Festival. Red, yellow, and green streamers and balloons are proudly on display.

"I don't think I've ever seen you smile this much, Weiss." Ruby says cheerfully before she frowns a little. "It's kinda weirding me out..."

Weiss turns to Ruby before speaking. "How could you not smile? A festival dedicated to the cultures of the world! There will be dances! Parades! A tournament! Oh, the amount of planning and organization that goes into this event is simply breathtaking!"

"I agree!" Lilly cheers excitedly. "Everyone in the city working together to prepare for it! Absolutely wonderful!"

"See!" Weiss says offering a high five to Lilly to which she happily accepts.

"You two sure know how to take a good thing and make it sound boring." Yang cuts in bluntly.

"Quiet, you!" Weiss and Lilly shout in unison. Rex and Anakin were lagging behind a bit while the others have fun.  Anakin could tell Rex was holding himself back from making a move on Lilly.

"Rex," Anakin sighs. "When are you gonna take the leap?"

"Leap? Sir?" Rex frowns.

"Lilly. I mean its obvious you have feelings for her," Anakin states. "But you keep holding yourself back." Rex hangs his head in shame with a sigh while they still keep from earshot of the girls.

"I-" He starts. "I don't know. I mean should I? I've never had these feelings before. I just don't want to screw things up. Besides what if she doesn't share the same feelings?"

"Well..." Anakin stops to think before continuing. "You'll never know if you don't take that leap. Do you think I knew what I was doing with Padme?" Rex looks up to me with anticipation. "No. I was a kid taking a risk asking a senator that use to be a Queen. I tried to hard to get the girl, but thankfully she accepted me anyway. If she is the right girl for you she'll accept you for who you are."

Rex puts a hand to his chin in though as they start to catch up with the girls. The group was approaching the docks as they hear foghorns. The smell of the saltwater piercing their nostrils. "Remind me again why we're spending our Friday afternoon visiting the stupid docks?" Yang says crossing her arms in disappointment.

Ruby covers her nose in disgust. "Ugh, they smell like fish!" She claims.

"I've heard that students visiting from Vacuo will be arriving by ship today." Weiss answers. "And, as a representative of Beacon, I feel as though it is my solemn duty to welcome them to this fine kingdom!" She adds earning a look of confusion from everyone but Blake and Anakin. Anakin happens to cross his arms while smirking as Blake leans in over to the others.

"She wants to spy on them so she'll have the upper hand in the tournament." Blake states.

"You can't prove that!" Weiss scoffs earning giggles from Lilly while Anakin chuckles.

"She just did by earning that kind of reaction." Anakin teases. Weiss scoffs again, and he was going to start laughing at the antics, but he felt Rex tap his shoulder earning the man's attention. He points out a shop with a shattered window down the street. The door full of yellow caution tape of the Vale Police Force. The two point it out to the girls and decide walk over.

"What happened here?"Ruby asks getting the one of the two detectives attention.

"Robbery." The first answers. "Second Dust shop to be hit this week. This place is turning into a jungle." He claims. He then turns and walks over to his partner.
