No, no Author's Notes, society has progressed past the need for Author's Notes.


Ilia looked up at the ceiling, having been in bed for most of the day and not a clue in terms of what time it is. She squeezed a plush chameleon that was in her arms, "Mr. Smerdyakov... am I desirable?"

Its button eyes looked up at her, as expressionless as a real chameleon.

She turned over and closed her eyes, ready to sleep even though its only 2. "Yeah... that figures..."


Meanwhile, the members of Operation: Lively Lizard Lesbians were squished into the RWBY dorm as Jaune called his older sister. He beamed when she finally answered,

"Hey, Saff, how's Terra? Good... Good, so... I was wondering... how do you cheer up a lesbian?"

Weiss grabbed the phone from Jaune, "Sorry about that Mrs. Arc but we were hoping you could help us. A friend of ours opened her heart out to someone and was crushed-"

Blake was about to object but Weiss tossed a pillow at her face with her free hand. "So we were hoping you knew of a way to help her, she's barely gotten out of bed and we're worried it's affecting her academically."

"Hmmm, have you considered talking to her directly about thi-"

Weiss hung up, "Well that's a dead end, okay plan B."

Ruby raised her hand, "We upgrade her weapon for her?"

"Wha- no!"

Yang raised her hand, "We take her out clubbing?" Neon jumped up, "Or a rave!" Nora beamed, "OR A PANCAKE HOUSE!?"

"Why wo-" Weiss pinched the bridge of her nose, "No, do you know what Plan B stands for?"

"Plan B - Belladonna's Replacement?" Flynt snorted, docking when he saw Blake toss a pillow at him.

The heiress shrugged, "Close, B for Bounce back, we're going to find her someone... but who..." She put her hand to her chin, as did everyone else in the room. Neon opened her mouth, then paused and shook her head. This was repeated by quite a few others before Weiss grabbed her hair in frustration, "Is it so hard to find a woman who likes woman in this school?!"

A knock was heard, the littlest reaper rushed over and opened the door. "Hey, Velvet! What can I do for ya?"

The rabbit faunus gave a wave and smiled, "Oh nothing, got tickets to this new movie playing Friday but Coco is too busy. Anyone interested?"

"Oh sorry Velvet b-" Weiss rushed over, putting a hand over Ruby's mouth, "buuuuuut we know someone who'd just love to go with you."

Velvet raised an eyebrow but shrugged, "Perfect," she gave one of the tickets to Ruby, "just text me their details and we'll see where things go, catcha later." She walked away with a spring in her step.

The group looked at one another and then at the ticket, with Nora saying what they were all thinking.

"Wow, that was easier than I thought it would be."


Ilia was scrolling through her phone when she heard a knock at the door, her eyes darted over to it for a second only to go back to her phone. Another knock, she ignored it again.

Knockknockknockknockknockkn-

"NO ONE'S HERE!" Ilia yelled, blinking and then letting out a sigh as she got out of bed. She put on a robe and some slippers as she made her way to the door, "You better be selling girl scout co- Oh hey, Ruby." She saw the redhead's hand was raised to knock again, thankfully she stopped before taking out Ilia's eye.

"Uh, heeeey Ilia! I- well w-we were wondering if..if.." She looked down to a movie ticket, "Ah..ah," she coughed into her hand, "Okay, so... do you want to go to the movies on Friday?"

"Ruby.. you're wonderful but just a bit too.. young for m-"

Ruby put her hands up and started spattering, "N-no no no, there's someone else, she was looking for someone to go with, her name is Velvet and she is also Faunus but we swear we didn't set you up just because both of you are faunus I'm sure i-"

Ilia took the ticket, "Thanks, tell her to text me." and closed the door.

"W-well that works," she took out her scroll, "Okay, Plan Bunny Bounce Back is under way."

A loud slam was heard over the scroll as Weiss hit her head on a nearby wall, "Please just call it Plan B, and send Ilia Velvet's scroll number."


Ilia stood in front of the bathroom mirror, having splashed her face a few times to help get her out of this funk. She reached for her hairbrush when she saw her phone buzz.

Velvet S: Hey... is this, Ilia?

She took the phone, typing away.

Ilia: Yeah, take it you're Velvet yeah?

Velvet S: Mhm, how'd ya know? XD

Ilia: Helps Ruby gave me your number so Scroll ID

Velvet S: You didn't give me an animal nickname for your contacts did you?

Ilia: Oh god no, I hate it when people do that like yeah I'm a chameleon faunus but I don't want to be Karma Chameleon or Caméléon in your phone -_-

Velvet S: Tell me about it... Least you're not Pumpkin Petra

Ilia: I'd die, thank God there's no chameleon food mascot

Velvet S: What about that one that sells car insurance?

Ilia: Nah that's an iguana, funny enough voiced by a chameleon faunus. Swell guy, I love him in the show Blue Elf

Velvet S: You watch Blue Elf?

Ilia: I have the whoole season on DVD

Ilia: whole*

Velvet S: After tomorrow's movie wanna binge them some time?

Ilia: I'd love to

Ilia thought for a second as she thought about what to type next... "Eh, fuck it."

Ilia: 3

Velvet S: I can't wait to see you tomorrow 3

Ilia smiled, looking up at the mirror. "Maybe things are getting better."

She jumped, turning a shade a pink when she heard loud knocking. "Ilia! Get out of the bathroom already!"

The faunus blushed, "U-uh, yeah just five minutes."

"You said that HALF AN HOUR AGO!"


I really need to change up my writing style.
