Chapter 17: Best Day Ever

A/N: you and the girls enter a huge food fight.

(I'm this close to sending nothing but complaints to wattpad if it makes me have to repost another chapter again).

In vale, The owner of the Dust shop, From Dust Till Dawn, was hanging a sign declaring it's re-opening. As he climbed down from his ladder, he stumbled and falled. Soon he was met with a brown skined and mint green hair appeared next to him.

Emerald: Scuse me, sorry. I'm not really from around here.

She helped him to his feet.

Emerald: Would you mind pointing me in the direction of this shop?

Emerald pulled out a piece of paper with writing on it and the shopkeep looked it over. After looking at it, he told her what direction it was. Emerald thanked him for the directions and walked away. Soon passing by Mercury at a corner.

Mercury: I knew you were lost.

Emerald: Mercury, I will seriously pay you to shut up.

She pulled out a wallet with Lien and waved it in Mercury's face.

Mercury: That's not your money.

Emerald: But it can be yours for 5 minutes of silence.

Mercury: Mmmm... no deal.

Emerald: Fine.

Emerald took the Lien and tossed the wallet before turning to walk away.

Mercury: Whatever. You want me.

Emerald: -_-

The two walked through the city.

Mercury: So, how much farther?

Emerald: A few blocks.

Mercury: Ugh... this place is so dull.

Emerald: Eh, I kinda like it. Tall buildings, diverse culture...

Mercury: And nice dopey people who are easy to pickpocket.

Emerald stopped.

Emerald: That's every city.

Mercury then started speaking as if he was for victim.

Mercury: Ooh, Emerald! Master thief! Please don't take my money! I barely have enough to get by!

Emerald glared at him while groaning in anger before once again walking away.

Mercury: Ugh... you're no fun today.

Mercury followed behind Emerald. The two would continue their walk before entering a shop full of books. The shop's owner, Tukson, was heard humming a tune as he was attending to putting a few books back in their correct places. Mercury stopped near the door to looked at books while Emerald approached the counter and rung a service bell.

Tukson: Be right there!

Emerald looked back at Mercury as the own came out of the double doors and approached the counter while carrying stacks of books.

Tukson: Welcome to Tukson's Book Trade, home to every book under the sun!

He set the stacks down.

Tukson: How may I...

He turned around and he gasped upon recognizing the two of them.

Tukson: How may I help you?

Mercury: Just browsing.

Emerald: Actually, I was wondering, do you have any copies of "The Thief and The Butcher"?

Tukson: Yes we do.

Emerald: That's great.

Tukson: Would you... like a copy?

Emerald: No, just wondering. Oh, oh! What about "Violet's Garden"? In paperback?

Mercury: He's got it. Hardback too.

He said picking up a book.

Emerald: Ooh, options are nice.

Mercury: Eh, no pictures.

He closed the book,

Mercury: Hey! Do you have any comics?

Tukson: Near the front.

Emerald: Oh, no, wait! What.......... about........... "Third Crusade"?

Tukson hesitated while being visibly unnerved.

Tukson: Um... I...

Mercury and Emerald were eyeing him carefully.

Tukson: ...don't believe we carry that one.

Mercury: Oh.

Emerald: What was this place called again?

Tukson: Tukson's Book Trade.

Emerald: And you're Tukson?

Tukson: That's right.

Emerald: So then I take it that you're the one that came up with the catchphrase?

Tukson: Yes.

Mercury: And, what was it again?

Tukson: Tukson's Book Trade, home to every book under the sun.

Mercury: Except the Third Crusade.

Tukson: It's just a catchphrase.

Mercury: It's false advertising!

Emerald: You shouldn't make a promise you can't keep, Tukson.

Mercury activated a switch near the entrance causing a front window to darken.

Emerald: I hear that you're planning on leaving. Moving all the way to Vacuo.

Mercury activated another switch and the window in the front door darkened.

Emerald: Your brothers in the White Fang won't be happy to hear that.

Mercury activated the third and final switch, darkening the last window as he smiled creepily at Tukson.

Emerald: And neither are we... You know who we are, don't you?

Tukson: Yes.

Emerald: And you know why we're here?

Tukson: Yes.

Emerald: So... are you going to fight back?

Tukson: Yes!

Tukson made his claws appear from his fingers ans leaped at the two. However, she dodged and Tukson was met with mercury using one of his shotgun-greaves.

(TimeSkip).

Once Tukson was "taken care of", the two exited his book shop. Emerald stretched her arms overhead while mercury was carrying a comic.

Emerald: What's with that?

Mercury: I like the pictures.

(Meanwhile).

At Beacon, you were sitting down with team RWBY in the cafeteria. You and the others were doing your own thing while Blake was just looking over her notes. That was until yang slid next to her.

Yang: Whatcha doing?

Blake: Nothing. Just going over notes from last semester.

She said as closing her book while Yang was catching grapes in her mouth.

Yang: Lame.

Nora giggled as she continued to toss grapes at yang with her spoon. Yang was catching the fruit with ease and gave Nora a thumbs up. Ruby soon came by and sighed enormously before slammed her binder on the table and got everyone was sitting there's attention. On the binder, was a Vytal Festival Activities on it. However, the words were crossed out and replaced with Best Day Ever Activities instead.

Ruby: Sisters... friends... Weiss.

Weiss: Hey! >:(

Ruby: Four score and seven minutes ago, I had a dream.

Yang: This ought to be good.

(Y/N): kindly indulge us on what that might be.

Ruby: A dream that one day, the five of us will come together, as a team, and have the most fun anyone has ever had........ ever!

(Y/N): wait, five? That includes me too?

Ruby: of course.

She hugged you made you blushed a little.

Weiss: Wait a minute, Did you steal my binder?

Ruby soon stopped hugging and made peacesigns with both hands.

Ruby: I am not a crook.

You face palmed.

Blake: What are you talking about?

Ruby: I'm talking about kicking off the semester with a bang!

Yang: I always kick my semesters off with a Yang!

No one laughed.

Yang: Eh? Guys? Am I right?

Yang was hit in the face by an apple. She glared at Nora.

Nora: Boooooooooooooooo!

Ruby: Look guys, it's been a good two weeks and between more exchange students arriving and the tournament at the end of the year, our second semester is going to be great! But, classes start back up tomorrow! Which is why I've taken the time to schedule a series of wonderful events for us today.

Weiss: I don't know whether to be proud or scared of what you have in store.

(Y/N): for once, I kinda agree.

Yang, was still glaring at Nora and picked up an apple and tossed it at Nora, who just dodged and giggled.

Blake: I don't know. I think I might sit this one out.

Weiss: Sit out or not, I think that however we spend this last day, we should do it as a team!

Nora: I got it!

Weiss: I for one think that...

Before she could finish, she interrupted by a pie landing on her face. The pie, of which, was thrown by Nora in an attempt to hit Yang. Nora sat down and pointed at Ren who face palmed. Pyrrha's hand were over her mouth and Jaune simply looked wide eyed while covering his ear with his palm.

(Y/N): oh...........Fuck..........

(Meanwhile)

Outside the cafeteria, Sun was waking with a blue haired boy name Neptune. The two were heading to the cafeteria while Sun was telling Neptune about what happened at the docks.

Neptune: Man, that's harsh.

Sun: I know, we were fighting side by side. She was super fast and I threw a banana at the guy, which sounds gross, but it was awesome.

Neptune: Nice!

Sun: Right? And the best part is, she's a Faunus. But that's a secret, okay?

Neptune: Got it.

Sun leans in close in order to stress the importance of this secret.

Sun: And not a, "I'm gonna go tell Scarlet the second Sun turns his back secret", I'm talking secret secret.

Neptune: Whoa, chill out, man, okay? I got it.

He then spoke in an almost whispering tone.

Neptune: I got it!

Sun: You better.

As they were waking the windows into the cafeteria where covered with food splatters into the panes as students were running around. Suddenly, Jaune hits the window as well before sliding down.

Sun: I just don't want to screw this up, you know? The people here are the coolest! No offense to you guys.

Neptune: None taken.

Sun: They're just in here. I'm really excited for you to meet them. So be cool, okay? You're gonna be cool, right?

Neptune: Dude.

He gave a confident smirk.

Sun: Good point.

Sun and Neptune entered the cafeteria where students were heard screaming.

Male Student: Food fight!

Many students were stampeding out the door past Sun and Neptune. The two looked at what saw going on.

Nora: Ahahahaha!

Team JNPR were standing atop a tower of tables stacked in a ramshackle manner. Nora yelled in a sort of song-ish tone.

Nora: I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!

You and Team RWBY were facing off against them.

Ruby: Justice will be swift! Justice will be painful!

She said as she crushed a carton of milk in her hand.

Ruby: It will be delicious!

(Y/N) & Team RWBY Raised your fists simultaneously.

(Y/N) & Team RWBY: Yeah!

Nora: Off with their heads!

Nora jumped down from the top of her tower, and the food fight began.

Ruby: Yang! Turkey!

Yang rolled over to the turkeys and stuck her fists inside them, proceeding to block and punch the melons as they speeded toward her. After some fighting, Nora knocked Weiss into a pillar. The impact knocked her out and Ruby held her in her arms as the pillar collapsed around them.

Ruby: Weiss, Weiss! Don't leave me! Nooo!

You looked at Team JNPR as you held a watermelon in your hands like a Kamehameha.

(Y/N): let me show how an Arcosian does it!

You added a little power into the watermelon before throwing it right at the four and the one side of the cafeteria was covered in melon as team JNPR was slammed against a cracked wall painted with watermelons. They all slid off the wall, leaving only their outlines.

(Y/N): damn I'm good.

Sun: I love these guys.

Neptune was drenched with soda and not pleased. The doors behind them opened and Glynda entered the room, growling. She proceeded to use telekinesis to re-organize the room.

Glynda: Children, please.

She said while adjusting her glasses.

Glynda: Do not play with your food!

Nora burped aloud as you and Teams JNPR and RWBY tried and fail to compose yourselves. Yang then crashed from the ceiling into one of the tables. Glynda just grumbled as Ozpin approached and placed a hand on her shoulder.

Ozpin: Let it go.

Glynda: "sighs" They're supposed to be the defenders of the world.

Ozpin: And they will be, but right now they're still children. So why not let them play the part?

Ozpin started walking away from Glynda.

Ozpin: After all, it isn't a role they'll have forever.

(TimeSkip).

In an old warehouse, the White Fang were moving crates as Emerald and Mercury entered.

Roman: Oh, look! She sent the kids again! This is turning out just like the divorce!

He said as he approached the two from behind and wrapped his arms around them in a group hug.

Emerald: Spare us the thought of you procreating.

Emerald and Mercury pulled away from Roman.

Roman: That was a joke. And this... just might tell me where you two have been all day.

Roman pulled out a piece of paper.

Emerald: What!? Agh...

Roman: I'm a professional, sweetheart. Pay attention, maybe you'll learn something.

He said still holding up the piece of paper.

Roman: Why do you have this address?

Emerald: Wouldn't you like to know?

Roman: Yeah, I would. Now where have you been all day?

Mercury: Cleaning up your problems. One of them, at least.

Roman: I had that under control.

Mercury: Two packed bags and a ticket out of Vale said otherwise.

Roman: Listen, you little punk. If it were up to me, then I would take you and your little street rat friend here and...

Cinder: Do what, Roman?

Cinder appeared on a platform above them. She steps onto an automated lift, riding it down to their level.

Roman: I'd, uh... not kill them?

Emerald: Cinder!

She said in an excited tone.

Cinder: I thought I made it clear that you would eliminate the would-be runaway.

Roman: I was going to...

Emerald: He was going to escape to Vacuo! Mercury and I decided to take it upon ourselves to kill the rat.

Mercury: I think he was some sort of cat, actually.

Emerald: What? Like a puma?

Mercury: Yeah, there ya go.

Cinder: Quiet. Did I not specifically instruct you two to keep your hands clean while in Vale?

As Cinder spoke, Roman pointed a finger at the pair while laughing in agreement.

Emerald: I just thought...

Roman used his fingers to mime having a slit throat.

Cinder: Don't think... obey.

Emerald: Yes ma'am. It won't happen again.

Cinder soon turned to Roman.

Cinder: And you. Why wasn't this job done sooner?

Roman: Uh..? Eh..? Eh..? EHHHHH! Sorry if I've been busy stealing every speck of Dust in the Kingdom! Plus with frost being locked up, it was kinda harder than usual.

Mercury: You're an inspiration to every punk with a gun and a ski mask.

Emerald laughed at the remark.

Roman: Look around, kid. I've got this town running scared! Police camping out at every corner, Dust prices through the roof, and we're sitting pretty on an old warehouse with more Dust crystals, vials, and rounds than we know what to do with! Speaking of which, if you guys wouldn't mind filling me in on your grand master plan, it might actually make my next string of robberies go a little smoother now that Frost is gone!

Cinder approached Roman.

Cinder: Oh, Roman. Have a little faith.

She placed her hand on his face.

Cinder: You'll know what you need when you need to know it.

Roman seemed entranced, but then looked away with a grunt.

Cinder: Besides, we're done with Dust. and knowing frost, he has his own way of escaping containment.

Roman: O......okay, then what now?

Cinder: We're moving. Have the White Fang clear out this building. I'll send you details and coordinates tonight.

Roman: Coordinates?

Cinder: We're proceeding to phase two.

Cinder, Mercury and Emerald begin to walk away. Roman attempted to light a cigar, but realized Emerald had stolen his lighter. She turned back to face him and stuck her tongue out defiantly.

A/N: and soon the madness can begin.
