Ruby jumped from foot to foot, impatiently awaiting the return of her father and sister. Luckily she had been able to get home without either of her family members (Minus Uncle Qrow, who had picked her up) being contacted by Professor Ozpin or his associate, Glynda Goodwitch.

Looking at the clock impatiently the hooded girl grinned. Right on time. She heard the sound of Yang's motorbike in the drive way and rushed to open the door.

"Hey sis!" she called out. Yang pulled off her helmet and waved. Ruby held the door open as her sister strode up.

"How was it?"

"Great! The new wheels are fantastic!" Yang ruffled her sister's hair as she looked over at her motorbike. "When's Dad coming home?"

"Soon," Ruby could not contain her excitement as they made their way into the kitchen. Yang raised an eyebrow.

"So Ruby," she sat on the bench and leaned forward. "How are you?"

"Good, good. Well pretty great actually," Ruby replied, grinning from ear to ear as she rummaged through the cupboards for food.

"Uh-uh," Yang smirked. "So, you wanna tell me what's going on?" Ruby squeaked and spun to face her sister.

"How do you know?"

"You're a terrible liar Ruby," Yang laughed as Ruby pouted before resuming her search for what Yang presumed cookies.

"Well, I've got extremely good news- Ah!" Ruby pulled herself out of the cupboard with the cookie jar held high in triumph. Pulling out one she bit into it. "But you'll have to wait until Dad gets home,"

"What are we waiting for then?" both girls turned to see their father – Taiyang – standing in the doorway. He went to each girl, giving them a kiss on the head and a hug.

"Now Ruby, what is this exciting news you have? Are you going to tell us or do we have to wait for Qrow?" he ruffled Ruby's hair. She laughed and batted his hand away.

"No Qrow already knows. Now the news is-" she paused for dramatic effect, both blondes leant forward. A grin broke out on Ruby's face as she yelled:

"I'm going to Beacon!" Yang shrieked and leapt up off the bench.

"What?" Ruby nodded, pulling a letter from her pocket.

"See here! Professor Ozpin himself said so!" the two, now astounded blondes, read the letter. Ruby watched gleefully as jaws dropped and eyes widened. Yang reacted first, squealing in excitement. She picked Ruby up in a hug and spun around.

"MY BABY SISTER'S COMING TO BEACON TO ME!"

"Yang! Can't breathe," the reaper groaned in the bear hug, Taiyang only laughed as Yang set her back down.

"Sorry Rubes, but I'm so excited!" Yang was brimming with excitement, her lilac eyes shining. "How'd you even speak to Ozpin?" Ruby scratched the back of her head sheepishly before explaining the robbery, Torchwick, how she easily took down the goons (and a window in the process, but she left that out) the arrival of Goodwitch and that mystery girl. By the end of it Ruby was wrapped in another bear hug by Yang. Taiyang put an arm around both his girls, a proud smile dominating his features.

"My little girls, all grown up. Your Mother would be proud,"

"Ruby! Are you ready?" Yang called form the bottom of the staircase, suitcase at her feet. There was a cab waiting for the two that would take them to the airship. Yang shook her head when she herd Ruby yelp followed by a loud thud. A moment later the cloaked girl bounded down the stairs with her suitcase in hand and scythe in place.

"You okay sis?" Yang asked. Ruby nodded, a big grin on her face.

"Yeah! This is the best day ever!" Yang laughed and wrapped her arm around her.

"Just think, in a few hours we will be at Beacon!" Ruby grinned and together the two walked out of the house, where Taiyang stood with Qrow by the cab.

"My girls," Taiyang began, bringing them both into a hug. "I am so proud of you both," he released them and stepped back so Qrow could say goodbye.

"Ruby, Yang," he paused, a small smile gracing his lips. "Show them what you're made of," he gave them both a hug before standing back. Ruby and Yang were both grinning as they handed their luggage to Qrow. Taiyang opened the door to the cab.

"Now you both look after each other,"

"Yes Dad,"

"Will do," he hugged the girls one last time before they got in. as they drove away Ruby wound down the window and stuck herself out. Waving franticly.

"Bye Dad! Bye Uncle Qrow!"

"See you guys later!" Yang had copied the cloaked girl and stuck her head out the window, her blonde mane whipping in the breeze.

The two men waved back until the car turned a corner, taking the two huntresses-in-training-to-be out of sight and towards their future. Qrow chuckled, causing the blonde man to turn his head.

"What is it?" curiously looking at the cloaked man as he smiled.

"They are exactly like their mothers,"
