The Beach Episode

[Ruby Rose]

So... Weiss getting her Semblance back.  It was amazing!  Of course, we couldn't tell for sure, but it's always best to just stay positive!  My Semblance was still weak too, I quickly realized when thinking about Weiss's; I was nowhere near as fast as before, but I somehow knew I'd be racing through the Omniverse in no time!  However, my excitement was very quickly overshadowed by embarrassment as Weiss got up REAL close to my face, my cheeks got so hot I felt like I was gonna explode!  Until the drenched Ice Queen cut my humiliation down by pushing me into the water, and in my thunderstruck state, all I could do was tip like a capsized ship.  A rather unimpressed expression greeted her once I resurfaced...

But, quick as a fox, my expression flipped once more to sheer excitement; Weiss was gonna buy me ice cream!  It wasn't fair that she wouldn't let me have more than two scoops though... I guess I did kinda deserve it after that prank.  She hauled me back out of the water, and I shook like a dog, spraying water everywhere.  Yes, including on Weiss.

I heard a solid object hit the snow, followed by a shrill croak, like a nightingale's call.  I gasped in surprise as I scooped up the black, ruby-riddled frog and peered at its flickering eyes.  "Garnet!" I exclaimed, having forgotten all about the frozen frog Jade handed me so long ago; it must have thawed while we traveled from the Colosseum to the beach!  The slippery amphibian leaped from my hands and perched upon my shoulder, its perpetually changing eyes staring blankly towards the horizon.  "Onward!  To find the ice cream man!  Or woman!" I commanded, marching along the snowed beach, an amused Weiss in tow.

Twenty Minutes Later

"Could you really have not let me get three scoops?" I whined as I ran my tongue around the pale pink sphere of creamy heaven on top of my mini-ice cream tower. "That triple chocolate fudge one sounded so good..." My complaints were met by Weiss's crossed arms.  "I already said, I don't want to risk you getting ice cream all over my dress," she retorted with a sigh.  I opened my mouth to respond, but really couldn't think of anything logical to say, so I instead resorted to brooding and systematically devouring the ice cream lick by lick.  "Besides, you'll ruing your figure if you eat too much." she explained with a smug look and concerned tone.  My silver eyes perked up, and I stared intently at Weiss.

"Have you even seen Nora eat?"
