Ruby POV

I wake up to find that Blake is still missing. It's been two days now.
That's it. Today, I'm going to gather what's left of my team and search for her. And because we need some more eyes to find her, I might as well enlist the help of team WAAR.

Timeskip

Me: She's been gone all weekend.
Weiss: Blake's a big girl. I'm sure she can handle herself.
John: Oh shut up you pompous wanker!
Alex: Woah, John, calm down.
John: Sorry. But last I recall, you were that started the argument.

What's a "wanker"? Is that another one of his made up words?

Alex: Besides, she's one of your teammates.
Weiss: Is she? We all heard what she said.
Me: Weiss!
Yang: Maybe she is, maybe she isn't. Either way, she's missing and we need to find her.
Weiss: A member of the White Fang, right underneath our noses!
Me: I just hope she's okay.

We search for about an hour, and still haven't found her.

Me: Blaaake!?
Yang: Blaaake!?
John: Belladonnaaa!?
Dick: Here kitty-kitty!

We all look at him disapprovingly.

Dick: Too far?
Alex: Yeah.
Dick: Sorry.

I guess he is only trying to lighten the mood. And failing. I notice that Weiss hasn't called Blake's name once.

Me: Ugh, Weiss, you're not helping!
Weiss: Oh, you know who might be able to help? The police.

Team WAAR all roll their eyes.

Weiss: What? It was just an idea!
Alex: Yeah, one I oughta slug for.
Yang: Weiss, I think we should hear her side of the story before jumping to any conclusions.
Weiss: I think that when we all hear it, you'll all realize I was right.
Penny: And I think that Weiss's hair looks wonderful today.
Me/WY/WAAR: Gah, Penny, where did you come from?!

She gives us a friendly wave.

Penny: Hey guys! Long time no see. What are you up to?
Me: Um...
Yang: We're looking for our friend Blake.
Penny: Oh! You mean the faunus girl.
Alex: I'm sorry, how do you know that?
Penny: Uh, the cat ears?
Yang: What cat ears? She wears a... bow.

A tumbleweed blows by.

Me: She does like tuna a lot.
Alex: And she ate fourteen cans of sardines in a day.
Penny: So, where is she?
Me: We don't know. She's been missing since Friday.

She walks up to me and grabs me by the shoulders.

Penny: That's terrible! Well don't you worry, Ruby my friend! I won't rest until I help you find your teammate!
Me: That's really nice of you, Penny, but we're okay. Right guys?

I look over to my friends, only to find that Yang, Weiss, and most of team WAAR are gone. The only one still with me is John. The tumbleweed blows by us again.

Penny: It sure is windy today.
John: Where did that even come from?

Third Person POV

Blake and Sun walk down the street discussing their plan to prove the White Fang's innocence.

Sun: So, what's the plan now?
Blake: I still don't think the White Fang is behind these robberies. They've never needed that much Dust before.
Sun: What if they did? I mean, the only way to prove that they didn't do it is to go to the place where they would be likely to go if they were to do it and not find them there... right?
Blake: The only problem is, I have no idea where that would be.
Sun: Well, while I was on the ship, heard the crew talking about offloading a giant shipment of Dust coming in from Atlas.
