RWBY Shorts

Let's Play

Zwei sits on the floor in team RWBY's dorm room, tongue lolling from his open mouth. In front of him is a scroll, propped up on a stand. The red light in the corner of the screen means that it is recording, while text flashes across the bottom of the screen.

[Hello, Zwei here. Welcome to my channel. I've been getting a lot of comments on my other videos asking me to do a "let's play", so here it is.]

Zwei's head tilts to the side.

[But I don't know what that means. First, let's look that up.]

Zwei gets up and waddles over to the desk by the door, still staying on camera. He nudges the chair, causing a book to fall to the floor next to him. He pokes his nose in it.

[Ok, here it is. Blah, blah, blah, lots of words… ah, here… "have fun".]

Zwei looks into the camera, and barks happily.

[Ooh, I love to have fun! I know, let's play hide and seek! I love that game. Kitty likes to play hide and seek with me all the time!]

Zwei runs offscreen.

[I'll hide, you try to find me, okay?]

After a few moments, someone picks up the device. It is placed down facing one of the bunk beds. A dresser can be seen in the corner of the screen. On top of it is an open box of cookies.

[I'm hiding here. Do you know where I am?]

There is a pause.

[If you guessed under the bed…]

A small hand reaches out and lifts up the blankets covering the bed, showing a dog-free bed.

[You were wrong! Sorry. But if you guessed in the box of cookies…]

Zwei pops his head out of the box and barks happily, panting.

[You were right! Hooray!]

"Ruby, what are you doing?" says a voice, the first time someone has said anything in the video.

A squeak is heard, like a fightened mouse or a startled fifteen year old girl. Zwei barks twice and leaps out of the box rushing offscreen.

"Oh, hey Yang. I was just playing with Zwei."

"Really? Why was your scroll recording him? Can I see?"

"No, Yang, it's not finished yet—"

"Aw, c'mon, just a peek—"

The scroll is lifted up into the air. From this angle, you can see a lovely blonde girl trying to keep it away from a smaller girl in a red hooded cape. A small dog yips playfully at their feet, running in circles.

Ruby lunges for the scroll, but only manages to knock it out of Yang's hand. It tumbles to the ground, diving gracefully into a glass of milk left carelessly on the floor.

"NO, NOT THE MILK—"

The screen goes black.
