Yang seemed… strange. Not that it meant something was bad. Ruby just felt that it was different. Yang was taking good care of her in the absence of mom and Ruby knew that. Mom would go on missions and when she gets back she'd bake some of the godliest cookies that ever graced the earth. Ruby hoped that her mom would come home soon.
Ruby woke up late into the afternoon which was odd, since Yang made sure that Ruby had a hearty breakfast and made sure that she had everything ready for school" Ruby didn't like school so much since it made her since she wanted to run around and play but that was besides the point"
If Yang not waking her up had been an early warning to something was wrong today than making her way downstairs to see Yang writing something down in a pad at a rapid pace. Yang used to hang outside and trained with Dad but every since he shut himself in his room when Mom stopped coming back Yang started to do more stuff indoors. Writing down lists of groceries was one of many things Yang did so Ruby didn't find it different than usual.
Ruby bounded over to her older sister and glomped her with a big hug.
"YANG, you didn't wake me for breakfast." Ruby smirked and she looked to see what was on the list, there better be cookies or her older sister would get an earful from her.
Words and numbers dotted the page as some jumped out to her. Signal Training. Cinder'S Recruitment/Torchwick. Cinder/Amber. Blake/Train/Illia? Robbery/Ruby-Torchwick. Docks/Blake. Breach/ RWBY. Fall of Beacon/…
"What 'cha writing sis?... Yang do I need to call the police?"
Yang scrunched the paper together and whirled around planting a grin on her face.
"Ruby! What are you doing up so early? I was about to wake you."
Ruby gave her sister an unimpressed glance. "Yang… Its two in the afternoon. You'd have woken me up six hours ago… whats wrong sis?"
"Nothings wrong Ruby I just had something to do yes;" Ruby narrowed her eyes slightly before yes;" "What day is it today anyway." Ruby asked as she made a beeline to a jar on the counter.
Yang noticed her trajectory and move to act as a roadblock to her little sister's obsession.
"You know how cookies are unhealthy for you… especially as a breakfast item." Yang grinned.
Ruby gave a pout and crossed her arms. "Its lunch time, I didn't get to eat breakfast due to a certain someone not waking me up."
"Hey hey, its not my fault you stay up late looking at weapon magazines. I don't take apart Crescent Rose and rebuild her every time." Yang teased.
What met her was a face full of confusion. Ruby Rose raised an eyebrow as she looked at her sister.
"Who is Crescent Rose? Is she a sister we have?" ,Ruby gasped, "We have another sister? Yang when were you going to tell me this? Does she live nearby? Does Dad know about her? Is that why he stays in his room?"
Yang froze with the grin on her face. Ruby was hopping in excitement at the prospect of a new sibling that she didn't see a sad smile grace the blond brawler's face. The blond composed herself and she grabbed her sister into a big hug.
"No no, Crescent Rose isn't a sister of ours but I believe she'll be your new best friend."
Ruby struggled in Yang's hug. "Get off me Yang!"
After a few minutes both of them were sitting at the counter of the kitchen and ate some sandwiches that Yang quickly whipped together.
AT their feet Zwei was gobbling through his own sandwich as Ruby took her first bite she seemed to melt from the flavor of the meal assaulting her taste buds"
With her mouth still full Ruby turned to her sister and spoke, spitting crumbs in the process, "If she isn't family, then why does she have the same name as I? Is she a cousin? Mom had sisters that she never told us about?"
This is what Ruby said in her mind. The version that came out of her mouth was less coherent as a garbled of words and crumbs flew everywhere.
"Ruby, eat first talk after. If its about Crescent Rose then I'm sure Drunkle Qrow will teach you soon enough."
"What's our uncle going to do for me?" Ruby asked curiously and Yang smiled.
"Lets just say that we had a previous arrangement to teach you on how to build your own weapon. "
Ruby dropped her sandwich in excitement. "You mean… I get to… get to… I get my very own WEAPON!" Ruby shrieked in glee as she burst into rose petals and flew around the house.
"Calm down Ruby, I'll contact Qrow to see when he is next free so you can start lessons. Why don't you start drafting plans for now. I got to do some training while its still nice out." Yang urged and Ruby nodded and she bolted for her room.
Ruby glowed as she bolted for the stairs. She thought to herself. 'Yang! You're the bestest sis ever! I can finally help people like those stories that Mom told us. I can go on adventures with Mom and together we can be the greatest crime fighting duo that hit this part of Patch. We can hunt grim, bake cookies, read stories.
Oh what weapon should I build? Should It be my fists like Yang and dad does? A Sword or scythe like Qrows?
Ruby paused in her step. Qrow. Ruby wanted to talk to her uncle as well, why was Yang hogging all the time together with Qrow;" Ruby dashed downstairs and made it into the foyer when she heard Yang starting to speak.
"Hey Uncle Qrow, just reminding you about your lessons with Ruby, the one we talked about before hand." Yang said cheeringly.
"What?"
"What do you mean we didn't schedule lessons, we always do this every time we wake up."
"I'm not making this up, you promised us that Ruby would start training with you…"
"Okay okay, maybe this will jog your memories: The fight at Haven. Ruby and I was there with you. Oscar as well. A dot six."
Ruby followed along until that point. Ruby was sure she never been to a place called Haven before. Certainly not with Qrow or Yang, also who was this Oscar fellow that and why the random number. What was Yang speaking about?
"No no, my mistake. Sorry for bothering you. However you do owe us those lesssons. I'll be sure to cash those in so you better be ready for an extended stay."
Yang sighed as she hung up the phone and mumbled her breathe.
"So Qrow didn't come back this time around."
Yang quickly dialed a number and got her notepad out and started to rapidly jot down notes.
"Hey there. Yeah its me. We lost Qrow... you still with your family?... What again? Didn't you tell me last time that you'd spend more time with them before leaving?"
Ruby leaned in closer. Who was Yang talking to?
A fist slammed into the table and Yang growled. "Listen here buddy, If you think about running from your family early then I'll personally deliver you to their doorsteps and we can throw the plans out."
"Still have you heard from the others? I know we lost Qrow but its rare for someone to lose this gift... yeah yeah I'll ask them."
Yang closed the phone and stared at her notes. A deep frown marred her face and Ruby knew that something bad had happened. The only expression Ruby could remember were the smiles. Playful, mischievous, confident, victorious. Yang charged at the opposition head on and she never seemed down no matter how much life throws at her.
Seeing that frown. Ruby knew that something was bothering her sister. Maybe she could get some cookies and share them with her.
Ruby bounded up the stairs to find her hidden cookie stash, Yang was sure to love it! Cookies cured all pains and Ruby knew that this would make Yang feel better.
Ruby barged into her room to see a tail wagging playfully as the sound of tearing could be heard.
"Hey Zwei you goober, what are you doing in my room?" Ruby smiled, thinking of how great her plan was when she froze. The remains of her cookies lay scattered across the ground and Zwei nibbled on the last of the cookies and then he whimpered.
"NOOOOO!" a scream echoed around the house and multiple footsteps could be heard thundering to Ruby's room.
Hello all! I am Falcon and this idea popped into my head a bit ago. We always get the stories of how people are time traveled back so that they can change things for the better. Or for the worst. We see these types of stories and then here comes this fic wondering how people would react if they suspect someone is a time traveler. Of course this is in the early stages so everything is still being worked out.
Often times people write because they want to explore an idea and to share what we write can often times take much courage. I watched this channel called Yes Theory and it strive for people to go out of their comfort zone and take a risk. Here is my risk in releasing this fic with many more to come.
Hope you guys enjoy this fic as much as I do and hope to see you all on the next update!
