Silver Stream.

Chapter 10

POV: Weiss Schnee.

       "My first date. Well.. the first one I decided to go on." I'm tingling with excitement. I can't wait for Ruby to tell me that she is ready. My scroll pings letting me know that Ruby has messaged me. I look down and read the words that terrify yet excite me at the same time.

Ruby: I'm ready Weiss.

Me: I am two. Just outside the JNPR dorm.

       The door to our friends room opens and Ruby steps out in something that I never thought I would see her in. A suit.

       But not just any suit. I can tell just by looking at it that it is very expensive and custom made. Probably more than a thousand lien. And it looks absolutely stunning. It's a black and red suit mostly. It also has silver cuff links. The overcoat and slacks are black while the button up shirt and tie are maroon. Ruby had her hair pinned up and a blush on her cheeks.

       Her eyes scan me from head to toe. "Wow Weiss you look... wow." I look at her in awe once again.

       "No Ruby it is you that looks absolutely gorgeous. How did you afford that suit?"

       "I didn't. I asked my dad. He said, and this is funny, that it was my mother's. I guess me and my mom are about the same size." She smiles sadly.

       "Ruby you never did tell me why that always makes you so sad." I state in a tone that expects an answer. And she better have one.

       "Look honey, I know you are concerned but today is not about me. It's your birthday. Let's celebrate you." She puts a smile on her face. "Plus, if we don't leave now then we will be late." She says as she turns and puts her arm out for me to take hold of, which I accept gratefully.

       She begins to stroll on down the hall and lead us toward the hangers. She whips out her scroll and dials a number. After two rings it is answered. "Hello? Ozpin? Is that bullhead still ready for use? Yes I understand that. Yes. Okay... I will Sir. Yes as pilot I take full responsibility for damages. Yes Sir. Thank you. I'll see you when we return. Thank you, good bye." She hangs up and puts the scroll in her pocket.

       "Um, Ruby?" I say to her.

       "Yes love?" She says in a tone that melts any worries I have. Almost.

       "What do you mean that you accept responsibility?"

       "Oh that. It's simple. I'm flying this thing."

        She says and I am once again left in awe by my "amazing, wonderful, and incredible girlfriend that I don't deserve.. oh shit I said that out loud huh?"

        "Yes you did my love. Now let's go. The bullhead is in here." She leads me into a room and then into a bulky aircraft. "Now buckle in babe. The ride will be long. About a half our. It's 5:30 now and the event I am taking you to is at 6:30. That gives us a half hour to get there and then another one for me to take you out to get a gift of your choice. Now sit there." She says gesturing to a seat in the back where the passengers usually sit. "I'd have you in the cabin with me but you don't have the credentials for a co-pilot. So you get comfortable here and I'll call you as I get in the cabin and we can talk that way."

       "You know." I started. "I was right. I don't deserve you." Her face suddenly grows hard and emotionless. "Did I say something wrong?"

       "Weiss, if you say you don't deserve me one more fucking time I'll cease speaking to you for one month. I swear to you on all that I stand upon in life." She sways sternly. "If you did not deserve me we would not be together. You come from higher social standings so technically I don't deserve you . But I know that is a lie." She turns and walks into the cabin and a few seconds later the engine flare. I feel the air craft that we are in lift off the ground and head in the direction of Vale.
