The next day

Ruby woke up much earlier than her teammates. Looking at the clock on her scroll, she saw that it was only 6:13. Almost 3 hours until they had to be at their first class of the day. Doing her best not to wake her teammates, Ruby swung her legs over the side of her bed and dropped down, the floorboards creaking beneath her. Grimacing, Ruby froze and looked around, waiting her one of the others to wake up. After a few moments, when none of them did, she turned and walked to the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

Ruby went over to the sink and turned it on, gathering some cold water in her hands and rubbing it on her face, doing her best to calm down. Today was the big day. She and Weiss would be streaking the entire school today. In front of everyone. With nothing but body paint.

She had barely slept all night. She couldn't stop thinking about what this would all be like. Would anyone actually notice what they were wearing? If so, who would it be? What would they have Ruby and Weiss do?

As those thoughts were racing through her head, there was a soft knock on the bathroom door, causing Ruby to nearly jump out of her skin. Turning to the door, Ruby opened it an inch to see Yang standing out there, just as naked as she was.

"Hey," Yang whispered. "Can I come in?"

"Uh...sure!" Ruby said, putting on a smile and opening the door wider. "All yours," she said as she moved to exit the bathroom. However, Yang placed a hand on her shoulder, stopping her.

"Actually, I wanted to talk to you, if that's ok?"

Ruby paused. What did Yang want to talk about? Was she going to rub in the fact that she had won and Ruby had lost?

"Uh...yeah. Come on in," Ruby said, stepping further into the bathroom to make room for Yang, who walked in and closed the door behind them. Yang then turned to face Ruby, leaning back against the counter.

"How ya feeling?" she asked. To Ruby's surprise, her tone didn't sound like she was gloating or being cocky. If anything, she sounded more concerned.

Ruby folded her arms over her chest, sighing once before she answered. "Honestly? I'm really nervous, right now."

"I can imagine," Yang chuckled. "Going out at night was scary enough for me, but this?"

Ruby rubbed her face and leaned against the wall behind her. "I mean...this will probably be the most stressful experience of my life! Even worse than coming to Beacon 2 years early and leaving all my friends, or being made leader on a team that refused to get along!"

Yang walked over to Ruby, placing both hands on her sister's shoulders. "Hey, hey, look at me." She placed one hand under Ruby's chin and **** her to make eye contact. "You're going to be fine. You've already made new friends since you got here, plus the team is working together much better!"

Ruby appreciated Yang's attempts to comfort her. "Yeah, but...I got lucky, meeting Jaune on the first day, and being put on a team with you. That all made it easier. Plus, I actually had time to work things out among the team, with the whole sleeping naked and going streaking together. Here, I won't have any of that!"

Yang looked down for a moment, then back up at Ruby with a smirk. "Well...you'll have Wiess right there, with you. And me and Blake, to make sure things don't get too out of hand."

Ruby paused, realizing Yang was right. In all her anxiety, she had forgotten she wouldn't be truly alone.

"Besides," Yang continued, rubbing Ruby's shoulders. "This is supposed to be for fun. Four exhibitionists, giving each other crazy shit to do. If this isn't fun for you...you could just back out."

Again, Ruby saw Yang's point. In reality, there wasn't anything forcing her to go through with this. RWBY were all still friends, and they'd surely understand if Ruby decided to back out. If something was too much for her.
