In the stark silence Yang was using to think, she completely forgot about the other person in the room. While thinking over the words Blake had just said about the girl on the longboard *Why does that sound familiar?* Yang's thoughts raced a mile a minute as she pieced together the clues Blake had so helpfully provided.

*Short, black hair with dyed red ends, blood red hoodie, and on a black and red long-*the image of a teen matching that description flashed through Yang's mind. Her eyes widen with recognition of the answer to her question. Who was the mystery girl on the longboard? *None other than my little sister, Ruby* Yang thought to herself as Blake stared intently at Yang wondering if she should interrupt her thoughts.

She finally decided to get Yang's attention.

"Eh hem" she coughed out to no avail. "Um, Yang? Yang? Yo Xiao Long, you okay?"

"Huh?" was Yang's reply finally snapping out of her stupor.

"What were you thinking of for that long?"

As she opened her mouth to answer an idea popped into her head. *Blake obviously likes Ruby or at least thinks she's cute, I mean who wouldn't? Now just gotta stall till she gets home*

"If you're just gonna keep spacing out I'm gonna go home or somewhere I guess"

"NO, I mean Blake I'm sorry, really I am. Pleeeeeeeeeeeese stay, I wanna hang out with you, and we almost never see each other anymore", at this point Yang was on her knees begging, giving Blake a look even hardened criminals couldn't say no to. Blake sighs knowing she can't resist Yang when she was being this cute.

"Fine. I'll sta- before Blake can finish the sentence, Yang pounced on her like a leopard striking down prey. Surprised by the sudden presence attached to her body, Blake fell over on to the ground taking Yang with her. *BAM*, dazed on the ground Blake tried to get up into the darkness. Wait, why is it dark? As she tried to move the thing in front of her face blocking her entire vision her hands were engulfed in a soft fleshy material and a muffled "Umph!" could be heard. Blake wriggled out from under her prison of Yang and her….. well-endowed features.

Looking over to Yang she saw the beginning of a smirk at the corner of her mouth.

"Shut up"

"But I didn't say anything"

"Yet, you would have" came Blake's retort. Yang was silent knowing she was defeated, yet left the room with the smirk to set up the next part of her plan knowing so far it was working to perfection.

Polly wants a cracker…. Think I should get off her first.

Hearing her phone going off Ruby pulls it out of the safety of her messenger bag ,after, stopping under a bus stop in the business district of Vale.

"Yooooooo Rubes, what's up?"

She rolls her eyes at the pet name Yang gave her years ago, but has been using forever since. She sighs silently off to the side of the phone as a bus rolls up and people roll out.

"Hey Yang, just on my way home. I'm about to get on the bus and then I'll be there around…." Ruby checks her watch as her eyes widen in shock at how late it was. " I'll be there at 11ish soooooo, about 30 minutes. K bye Yang luv ya"

"Love you too"

Ruby thought of her big sister Yang. She loved her to death and vice versa but… Yang was a bit overprotective. She remembered at Signal how a girl in Yang's grade had flirted with Ruby and Yang decided the appropriate course of action was to send a flying roundhouse punch into her jaw. While I'm not surprised she would go so far to defend me and…..my secret. She went a bit overboard.

As the bus slowly made its way through downtown traffic Ruby popped in her earbuds and rocked out to her own mix of music. Her thoughts drifted over many topics as the bus bumped along the potholes which signaled the proximity to her neighborhood. Why are girls so strange? Maybe cause they're untrusting of men and me so they act different around me. If only I could fit in. In school I'm a freak, at home I'm a demon, and to any girl I like or maybe have a crush on, I'm a monster.

The HISSSSS of the bus' brakes signified the arrival at Ruby's destination. Home sweet home, she thought with a sigh as she walked with feet dragging hoping She wasn't home. The sun was setting over the rooftops across the street as Ruby unlocked the front door and walked inside to immediately see a shocking sight.

Yang was sleeping peacefully on the couch with Blake on the opposite end. Having advanced hearing, even for a faunus, Blake jumped at the sound of a barely audible gasp coming from the doorway. Being able to see in the dark, she could recognize the beautiful face of the girl from earlier…. Wait…..Why is she in Yang's house. In Blake's mind she remembered a time when her and Yang talked about their families. "Hey Yang, do you have any brothers or sisters?"

"Yeah, a little br-sister named Ruby she's 2 years younger than me so 16."

A female voice broke Blake from the river of thoughts and memories flowing through her head.

"Um, hi. Are you a friend of Yang's?"

(Oh my god her voice it's beautiful. She speaks like an angel.)

"Hello? You gonna say something?"

Blake blinked to stop the stinging in her eyes after staring at the vision of beauty in front of her, and in the time it took for her to close and reopen her eyes Ruby had closed the distance between them. Amber eyes met silver orbs with less than an inch of distance between the faces of the 2 people involved. The only thought going through Blake's mind was OMG She's so close to me. She's even more beautiful close up.

Ruby on the other hand, well her thoughts were more like...well...this… WHRRRRRRRRR

Realizing this must be awkward for the younger girl Blake quickly put space between them by moving farther down the couch in Yang's direction, until she bumped into the latter's feet. Unbeknownst to both Blake and Ruby that subtle touch, which in any other case wouldn't even have stirred the sleeping brawler, woke Yang up to the sight of her sister and Blake. Both blushing furiously trying not to look each other in the eye, while simultaneously trying to get a glance at the other.

Finally gaining the courage to speak Ruby opened her mouth to start the first conversation with the girl she had not only run over, but had become her first crush.

"Hi, I'm Ruby." she mumbled out..

"Hello Ruby, My name's Blake. As you probably guessed I'm a friend of Yang's."

"Yeah, just kinda" Ruby stood in place rocking awkwardly back and forth on her heels.

(What the heck does that mean? If she's as strange as she is cute I might have a real nutjob here)

"So Ruby, you wanna come over here and watch MooTube? That's what Yang and I were doing before she passed out on me like always.

Ruby felt a flash of heat and anger towards her "sleeping" sister. Woah, wait am I jealous of Yang? Ok Ruby, chill Yang isn't into Blake and even if she was, Blake would rather date her instead of me. Heck maybe Blake isn't even a lesbian.

"Sure I would love to." came her reply.

"Great." Blake gestured Ruby to sit next to her as she typed into the search box the name of one of her favorite channels.

"You ever seen any Rooster Teeth videos Ruby?
