>Team RNJR arrives at the nearest Dust-Mart
>The bad weather made them rethink their whole camping plans
>They needed better tents since Ruby's got destroyed
>And Pyrrha's was broken before the storm even arrived...
>Nora dragged Ren off to find snacks
>Jaune, Pyrrha and Ruby were left to decide on what tent to buy
>Jaune led the way to the camping section of the store while Pyrrha was looming over him
>Ruby was following them at a decent distance
>There were plenty of tents that could fit one person
>A certain tent caught Pyrrha's eye
>"How about this one?"
>Ruby turned away from the small tents to see a much larger one
>It looked like it could easily fit 6 people
>"Please no" Ruby whispered to herself
>Lucky for her, Jaune seemed unsure about the big tent
>"Its probably expensive Pyrrha.. Are you sure?"
>"Nonsense! Its big enough for all three of us and its 50% off"
>"Well when you put it that way..."
>Ruby gulped
>Jaune and Pyrrha hauled the large tent bag to the front of the store to checkout
>Ruby walked out the front of the store to wait with Ren and Nora
>Nora was bouncing up and down with varying boxes of snacks
>Ren has just bought some ingredients for tea
>It was almost nightfall
>Ruby was still trying to think of a plan to survive the night and anything that could go wrong
>She had only a few hours
>It was time for camp
>Pyrrha insisted that she set up the new tent
>Ren and Nora set up their two tents beside each other
>Jaune went off to get firewood with Ruby
>Pyrrha seemed to have no issue with this before they left
>As the duo gathered firewood, Ruby couldn't shake the feeling that she was going to be bushwhacked the moment Jaune turned his back
>Pyrrha never showed up
>The two got back to the campsite
>The other 3 were just sitting about
>Pyrrha was happy to see Jaune back
>Ruby had noticed that all her belongings were missing along with Jaune and Pyrrhas
>She was hoped Pyrrha didn't "accidentally" drop them into the lake
>Pyrrha broke the silence
>"I set the tent up"
>Ren and Nora remained on their log while the trio walked into the tent
>All of Ruby's belongings were neatly unpacked on the far side of the tent
>Pyrrha and Jaune's stuff was mixed at the on the opposite side
>Their sleeping bags were so close that they were touching
>Ruby was relieved that she didn't have to sleep so close to Pyrrha
>Pyrrha also liked the idea
>Jaune didn't question any of it
>Ruby went to look over her stuff to make sure her weapon wasn't severely jammed
>"Very nice job Pyrrha, you unpacked everything too!" Jaune said before walking out of the tent
>"Thank you Jaune, I like to make sure we are well taken care of"
>Ruby sneered at Pyrrha's comment
>Ren and Nora had started a fire
>It was already dark
>Ruby had decided to look around inside the tent some more
>Have to make sure there wasn't anything that could cause a freak accident and end up with her falling onto Jaune or any of his stuff
>Her hazard search was cut short of Jaune's voice
>"Dinner is ready!"
>Jaune made more soup like last time
>Pyrrha was taking her time enjoying it
>She could REALLY tell Pyrrha was enjoying it
>Ren and Nora were the first to finish
>The soup was a lot better than last time
>Good enough to pull Ruby from her thoughts
>"This is really good Jaune!"
>Pyrrha's trance was broke
>"Jaune, your soup is honestly the best I have ever had. You're an amazing cook!"
>Pyrrha's compliment was spoken the instant Ruby finished hers
>"Thanks Pyrrha" Jaune responded with a smile
>Pyrrha eagerly returned the smile
>Ruby sighed
>Nora and Ren had left the fire to go to bed
>Pyrrha had managed to slowly scoot herself right up against Jaune without him noticing
>Ruby decided that she should go to bed to give Pyrrha time with Jaune
>Ruby crawled under the covers on her side of the tent
>Pyrrha had set everything up pretty well
>She was surprised she didn't mess with any of her stuff
>Maybe she was just being paranoid
>She heard the entrance of the tent unzip as Jaune and Pyrrha walked in
>Ruby was facing away from the two
>She heard a sleeping back rustling and Jaune exhaling
>Out of the corner of her eye she could barely make out Pyrrha
>She was standing in the middle of the tent with her eyes locked right onto Ruby
>Making sure she was passed out no doubt
>Pyrrha turned to get into her sleeping bag next to Jaune
>She muttered something about being cold
>About 10 minutes later Ruby rolled over
>Their sleeping bags were unzipped to act like blankets and they were sleeping together
>Pyrrha had Jaune completely locked up in her limbs
>Ruby passed out
>She woke up and looked around for her water bottle
>She must have left it out by the fire pit
>It was still night by the looks of it
>The inside of the tent was an inky black
>She crept out of her sleeping bag and began to slowly through the shroud
>'Good thing I made sure the floor was clear' she thought to herself
>She bumped into something very sturdy and jumped back
>She tried to focus at what she walked into
>Whatever it was, it gave absolutely no ground when she bumped into it
>It also blended into the darkness rather well
>As her eyes scanned higher up she could notice a faint shade of red
>And two faint green specs
>'Of course'
>"I-I was just going to get some water from outside" She said as she tried to walk past
>Pyrrha's hand firmly stopped her
>Pyrrha's other hand held up a full cup of water
>"Umm thank you.."
>Pyrrha hadn't moved an inch
>Was she wearing armor?
>Ruby started to drink the water as her eyes adjusted to the darkness
>Yup, she was wearing armor
>Her weapons were no where to be seen luckily
>Or it could be the opposite of lucky
>Whether on purpose or not she happened to be completely blocking Jaune from view
>Ruby finished her water "T-thanks, I'm going back to bed now" she said as she awkwardly pointed to her sleeping bag
>Pyrrha's eyes didn't move at all
>'Right, that's not creepy'
>Ruby crawled back into her sleeping bag
>Pyrrha stood over her for a moment before walking back over to her bed with Jaune
>Ruby opened her eyes to see the duo locked up together once again
>How Jaune could stay passed out while Pyrrha grappled him was unbelievable
>Things seemed to be going much better that Ruby had expected
>Maybe sharing a tent wasn't so bad
>Then it happened
>Ruby's scroll beeped
>Her arms flew out of the sleeping bag and yanked the scroll in
>She frantically hit buttons to turn the sound off
>Pyrrha began to slowly rise
>After opening up the web browser twice, Ruby made it stop
>It was a message from Pyrrha
>From four hours ago...
>She only received it now
>Ruby squinted as she tried to read it
>The sudden light was hard on the eyes
>"Ruby. Make sure you disable your ringer. -Pyrrha"
>The scroll slightly shifted
>Ruby tapped the power button to shut the light off
>The scroll jerked upwards and hit her right in the nose
>Ruby curled up and buried her face into the blanket
>And it was going so well too..
