Author's Note: My third solo fanfiction! And it's another collection of one-shots. Go figure. Anyway, for this fanfiction, I'll be writing individual chapters on every single pairing in Team RWBY, including all four of them, but here's the twist: The name of the specific pairing will be a plot point. So let's get right into it then, shall we? Early Christmas-themed White Rose activate!

"Hello, Ruby. It's good to see you again. In a manner of speaking, anyway. Sorry, was that insensitive? I keep slipping up with remarks like that. I won't do it again, I promise.

"How do you like this dress? I know green's not my color, but nothing stands out against white quite like it. Helpful, given this new snowfall. Mm, nice and warm, too.

"Anyway, I thought that you might like to hear about what's been going on recently. You know, with life.

"Nora finally got around to telling Ren how she really feels. Yes, took her long enough, I know. In the end, all she really needed was a well-placed sprig of mistletoe. Now they are indeed, 'together-together.' I'm really happy for them.

"She's not all, either: Jaune finally proposed to Pyrrha. Oh, what an affair that was. This is second-hand information I'm giving, but apparently they were out by the river, and he did the whole setup, you know, that he had an important question for her and all, then he just struck a match and threw it into the water, where it actually spread out, spelling out 'Will you marry me.' She said yes, naturally.

"What else, what else… Oh, Blake and Sun are a thing now. I only just found that out on my way here. Still not sure what she sees in him, but it was apparently enough, I guess. Thought you'd like to know that.

"And you'll love to hear about what your uncle's been getting up to recently. Spoiler alert: It's marrying my sister, Winter! You remember her. I guess this makes us technically related? Eh, I'll try to forget it. I suggest you follow suit.

"Oh, and Yang will kill me if I don't tell you now: You're going to be an aunt! How about that? She's refusing to tell anyone who the father is. Keeping us in suspense like this, it's so unlike her. My best bet is that it's all a setup for one giant pun. Haha…

"…She misses you, you know. We all do.

"Why did you have to do it, Ruby? You knew there would be no coming out of that warehouse alive, it was a death trap in every sense of the word! Hundreds of White Fang! Thousands of Grimm! No one could survive that! …So why did you even try to?

"D… Don't answer that. I feel I won't want to hear it."

Weiss stood up after a few minutes in silence, still clutching a pale rose in her hand. "It was… nice talking to you, Ruby." She let the flower fall onto the stone marker in the ground. "I'll be back soon. I promise." And with that, she turned and left, retracing her snowy steps through the graveyard.

Author's Note: Aaaand I already killed her again. What is this, four times now? Yeah, about that. I sincerely apologize, and promise to make up for it with plenty of fluff next time.
