Falling and Rising: Chapter 19 Preview

Super Moves

Ruby blinked. Okay? What the heck…? She shook her head. Never mind, she would deal with it later. Ruby quickly pocketed her phone and hopped up the font straps of the 3-A dorm building. Her knuckles hovered over the door, ready to knock when she heard voices coming from behind it.

“We’re going to be late—” Ruby heard a very nervous-sounding boy say.

“Yeah, yeah. I know,” came Yang’s voice from the other side of the door, and Ruby could picture her giving a dismissive wave. “I just want to make sure that I have everything I need—”

“We’re going to miss the train, and I don’t want to explain why we’re late—”

“If we’re late, then I’ll explain why. It’s gonna be my fault anyway, so.”

“I still hate it.”

“I found it!” cried out a hyperactive voice, following some rushing footsteps.

“Neijre Hadou, I could kiss you!” exclaimed Yang with relief. “Thank you!”

“Can we please go!?” said the nervous voice once again, sounding a bit more agitated this time.

“Yeah.” Yang let out a grunt, and Ruby could hear something heavy being shifted. “Hey, did you remember to eat your clams? We’re on patrol tonight. Chicken? A crustacean? Anything octopi-related?”

“Yes, I—” He cut himself off there. His silence was enough.

Yang chuckled. “We’ll stop by the store on our way.”

“...Can we swing by that place near the station once we get there?”

“The one with the cute cartoon in the front? Sure, buddy.” Ruby heard a heavy sigh before the dorms’ door suddenly swung open. A tall boy with pointed ears and messy indigo hair nearly ran smack into her. He yelped upon seeing her, having been too lost in his own thoughts to realize that she was even there until he was about to walk into her.

“Yang!” the boy shouted. Tamaki Amajiki stumbled back out of surprise, and fell right into the blonde behind him. It felt like luck that Yang — who had a few bags slung over her shoulder — had caught him.

“Tamaki, what the h—!” Yang exclaimed as she righted her friend, cutting herself off once she saw what had surprised him so much.

Unsure what else to do, Ruby only said: “Hi.”

“Hey, Ruby!” A grin formed on her sister’s face, and Yang reached out to ruffle Ruby’s hair.. “Finally decided to visit, huh?” Ruby nodded. A girl shorter than Yang, but somewhat taller than Ruby, popped out from behind Yang. Her long, periwinkle-colored hair twisted around itself down to her legs. Her blue eyes sparkled when she spotted Ruby, and she widely grinned.

Nejire Hadou gave her a small wave. “Hey, Little flower!”

“Horrible timing…” Tamaki muttered under his breath, and Ruby chose to brush it off as their almost-crash.

“Is Weiss here?” she asked. “I wanna talk to her about something.”

“Aw, too cool for big sis?” said Yang teasingly, passing some of the bags off to Tamaki so she could hook her arm around Ruby’s shoulders and ruffle up her hair.

Ruby swatted her sister’s hands away. “Stop!”

“Yang. We’re going to miss the train,” said Tamaki with a hurry, and coming to Ruby’s aid. “Come on, leave her alone.” Yang huffed.

“Fine…!” She slid off of Ruby. “See you when I get back, Rubes.”

“Yang—” Get back? She couldn’t leave! Ruby still needed her help!

“I’m still bringin’ stuff back for you!” Yang said, ruffling her sister’s hair one more time before rushing past. Oh… right. Work studies. That was a thing that Yang did. With everything that happened this summer, Ruby almost forgot that her sister still had somewhere to be on the weekend.

“Not what I was going to ask, but thank you!” Ruby sighed as her sister dashed out of sight. It was nice of her to do that, but really… How was Ruby going to find Weiss’s room now? She couldn’t see Blake anywhere, so asking her was out of the question. Was Weiss even here, or was she— 

Ruby jumped when Nejire clapped her hands on her shoulders.

“I know where Weiss is,” she said with a soft smile. “Come on, I’ll show you! Fair warning though, she likes to keep her room really cold.”

“Thanks, Nejire!”

The full chapter will be up on Ao3 on August 7!
