Yo Peeps, GMG here and OMFG I AM SO HAPPY! Why? If you have to ask why, I direct you to the corner of shame. Episode 1(or 17, depends on you POV on the subject) aired and it. Was... Super fantastically amazing, worthy to be a five star film in a comedy special. Yes, it was that good. Such was its gloriousness. To celebrate, I bring chapter five. And I'm adding a twist because of that episode.

Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY, unfortunately for this poor soul.

Ruby stood in abject horror as she took in the scene before her. This was the clusterfuck to clusterfuck all clusterfucks. It was that bad. How a simple dinner date became a page out of a modern artists portfolio, she had no idea. On second thought, she'd really rather not know.

XXXGMGXXX (an hour prior)

Ruby located Penny in the lunch hall, sampling many of the different foods and ingredients she was able to stow away at lunch. Ruby slowly glided over, coming to a stop behind her date. "Hey, Penny. What you up to?"

Green eyes locked onto silver as the former android grinned. "Hello, Ruby. I was simply experimenting with taste while waiting for our date. It is fascinating that some of the flavors are unpleasant, but more still are very enjoyable to eat."

Ruby smiled softly at that, happy that Penny was taking her transformation so well. "Did you figure out which one you enjoy most?"

Penny nodded. "I find the strawberries to be very enjoyable, more so than any of the other food."

"So, you like strawberries too!" Ruby hugged Penny. "I knew I had good tastes in women!"

"What taste are you referring to?" Penny asked, dubious.

Ruby chuckled. "Not literally taste. It's like an opinion. People can have a good taste in a variety of things. Usually music or a gender or friends. Things like that."

A comprehending look flickered into shape in response. "That makes sense. Thank you Ruby."

"No problem." Replied the cookie junkie, glancing at a clock. "We better get going."

The other girl nodded. "We can begin our date anon(1)."

After disposing off Penny's refuse, the couple made their way out of Beacon and towards The City of Vale. As they began walking along, Ruby unknowingly took Penny's hand, though the other girl did nothing to stop her, seeing as she still understood little of human interactions. As they walked, they saw a few ships pulling into the city's ports and a few people entering shops or exiting others.

It was very... domestic, Ruby thought. No team, no villains, no crime, and certainly no Yang. The whole experience was novel and something Ruby truly appreciated. She was walking in peace with her girl at her side and no one was bothering them, paradise.

Though few words were exchanged, Ruby led Penny to a restaurant located on one of the street corners. Yellow Brick Road Pizzeria(2), the place was called. Both of them stepped inside, Ruby telling Penny to take a seat at an open table, while she placed their order: a simple cheese pizza. She had no idea what Penny liked, said girl still learning that herself. After she had paid, she quickly returned to where the former android sat and joined her.

Not five minutes later, the worse thing that could happen... happened. Yang, Weiss, and Team JNPR entered and took a seat after ordering. Ruby groaned, causing Penny to look at her with concern.

"Are you alright, Ruby. It seems that your sister's arrival is having a negative impact on your attitude."

Ruby sighed. "Something like that, Penny." She pinched the bridge of her nose. "I just wanted a peaceful date with a peaceful dinner. Yang counteracts any possible activity from being peaceful. I just pray to whatever deity will listen that they be merciful to us this evening.

Now, if you're aware of Murphy's Law, then you know that if something bad can happen, it will happen. Combine that with Yang and Nora, then it develops to a level far worse. None of the patrons knew who started it, but a slice of pizza flew and chaos unfolded in the restaurant.

So here Ruby stood, staring at the mess in horror. Her cloak was spattered with cheese and a variety of toppings, clothes coated in a similar mess. Her mind blanked and she just stared, silver locking onto lilac and... Ruby fled, tears streaming from her eyes.

Penny looked torn, she wanted to help Ruby, yet she also wanted to hurt Yang. These feelings confused her and she stood in place, mind roiling through possible actions.

Yang looked down and cursed. She fucked up big time and had no idea where Ruby was. She knew that she couldn't help her sister, the blonde only able to further provoke the poor girl, so she settled for what he had on hand. Walking over to Penny, she sighed. "Find her. She needs someone to be with her. I'll handle getting this mess sorted out."

Green eyes, misty with unshed tears, blinked before their owner nodded. "Very well then, I will do as you ask." And she ran off in search of the cloaked cookie crusader.

XXXGMGXXX

It had taken her a short while, but Penny finally found Ruby in one of the parks, sitting on a bench and crying in her cloak. Penny felt as if her stomach dropped and tears stung her own eyes. She didn't like Ruby to be sad. Not at all.

She walked over and hugged Ruby, unsure of how to help her mood. "Please don't be sad Ruby. I don't want you to be sad."

Ruby hugged Penny back. "I'm sorry. Our date was ruined."

Penny shook her head. "It's okay, Ruby. A ruined date doesn't mean we can't be together."

Ruby calmed slightly and continued. "I just wanted our first date to be perfect."

"Then why not have another date and say that that one is our first date?"

The younger teen smiled. "Sure. I'd like that. Thanks Penny."

"No problem, Ruby."

End...

1) anon means immediately or soon. Actual word.

2) Yellow Brick Road Cafe is the name of the cafe in my other RWBY fic, Bloodstained Chess Board.

A few days late, sorry. I need to switch back over and clear the next chapter for SSO. It seems to be doing better than this one. Emerald is awesome. Nuff said. Au Revoir!
