Red the bottom AN. It's a must for all the stuff that happened.

-Red Roses on Snowy Days-

"So, how do we start?"

The question asked by Blake left Wiess having to concoct plan on the fly. While the heiress was known to always like to have every time plan for in advance, and never work on the fly, in the moments she needed to, she was quite good at it. But first, she needed more information to see if her plan really would work.

"Yang," said girl looked at her, with Blake taking a chair from Ruby's desk and bringing it over to their collective." You said it would be too long for Ruby to make it to Patch from here. How long would it take?"

Yang grabbed her chin in thought as both Blake and Weiss whachjng the brawler with their undivided attention with Blake only distracting herself enough to grab her cup of coffee before turning off the machine.

"To go from Beacon to Vale on the ealiest and fastest Airship would take an hour or so. Next up would be having to go through the city towards the end near the docks which would take an hour and thirty minutes by walking or 35 minutes if traffic is good for bumblebee. Next would be the long boat ride to Patch. Weather forecasts have been saying a storm has been brewing, and even if it doesn't hit I doubt most sailors would want to ride it."

Yang stopped for a minute to think again. This allowed Weiss time to begin to formulate a plan. I have some contacts in the RD department of the SDC. Maybe they'll let me try it out for a test run? Helping...friends. It's new. And exciting. Yang began to talk and Weiss shifted her attention back to her teammate.

"I'm guessing it'll take about 1 hour to find anybody who would want to sail for us. Ruby would probably get hungry and drag me halfway across the city to go to her favorite bakery. That's another 2 hours form walking and waiting in line .Even after finding a sailor it'll take about 7 hours to make it from here to Patch. Even on a calm day the waters around that area are hectic, so add on one more hour. From there, seeing as I wouldn't have bumblebee, it would take another 4 hours just to make it to our house."

Blake was confused while Weiss was simply thinking over her plan in her head. Blake had always though Patch was a small island. It never occurred to her it could be so big. She smiled at the thought of having learned something new today.

"Just reaching our house wouldn't be the end though. Our dad is out on a mission right now. He always keeps he keys to his car in him. The hill on the other side of the island. Were about two thirds away from it. Patch is pretty big while walking. It'll take another 4 hours to make it to the base and about 2 and 30 minutes to reach the top. There's a forest near it and it takes an hour to go through it. The sight of all of Patch from the south side of the island is amazing when you see it though. From there. We get to the grave. That's exactly 24 hours of commute. By the time we get there. It'll have been the next day."

Yang had saw that Weiss was gone from her seat next to Blake. Blake just shrugged and pointed the the open door the a girl with white hair talking on the phone about a 'prototype' of some sort. Yang heard the signs of a 'Thank you' before Weiss returned to the room with a smile on her face.

"What's melted the Ice Queen?"

Even in her sad and somber state, Yang still valued puns and chuckled to herself as to not wake up the somehow still sleeping form of her sister while the other two groaned inwardly at the pun. Weiss went up at sat back down with the other two waiting for her response.

"I have a plan. I will get Ruby to Patch today. "

Yang heard this earlier from Weiss, and as mch as she learned to trust the girl ever since she changed, this task seemed daunting, even for her. She motioned for Wiess to continue and so did Blake. Both were interested to hear her plan.

"I may have just ended a call with the SDC RD team about their newest ship. It goes at blazing speeds and can clear kingdom to kingdom transport in under 4 hours, compared the the days it takes slower ships. And. We may also be getting it to use as a test run."

As soon as the last words sunk into Yang's mind, she tackled Weiss into a string bear hug, string into so that she feels pressure but not strong enough to squeeze the air out of her. Weiss on the other hand, did not know how to react to such explosive acts of kindness and friendship. She simply gave Yang a lose awkward hug as the girl held her tightly. Blake watched with amusement at the scene of these two polar opposites hugging each other. Though one thought lingered in her head. Why does Wiess want to help Ruby? Maybe for the team, it never to these extents. I should ask her about it.

Weiss, but why do you want to help Ruby?"

Yang let go of the hieress and nodded agreeing to what Blake said. She too, wanted to know what got Weiss into such a helpful mindset. Weiss, was remiscing about the day she promised to be a good teammate.

"It was on the first day of class. I promised I would be the best partner and teammate to Ruby. Also, I don't want to have her being all sad when we need to train. It'll ruin my study time."

Weiss then walked towards the bathroom grabbing her towel and a change of clothes with Blake and Yang still sitting down, with amused looks on their faces. Yang never knew the Ice Queen could be so kind and caring. It was a nice side of her. While Blake was just remembering what she saw. As soon as Weiss mentioned her promise, the lightest dust of pink could be seen. Blake wanted to question the blush, but kept her tongue. She remembered last time when she challenged Weiss about something.

Once Weiss was out of the shower, fully clothled in her usual combat skirt and cardigan, Yang went toward the shower. Both Weiss and Blake texted Yang to go to the Beacon dock in area when she was done with her shower. Both of them knew how long she took while showering, she set up the next part of Weiss' on the fly plan. Blake knocked on the door of Team CVFY's dorm. Velvet popped out with a smile at the two freshmen.

"Hey Velvet, me and Blake were wondering...if you and Coco could...assist us in a plan of mine for my team leader."

Coco popped her head out behind Velvet's. She had heard why they were talking about and nodded her head. "Sure. What does Lil Red need?" Velvet ushered them into the main area of the dorm. It was a lot larger than the first year dorms. But it paled in comparison to the third year dorms and fourth year ones. Though second year dorms did have the advantage of having a fully stocked kitchen off the bat. The other two years needed to buy the equipment.

They all sat down around a large wooden table that seemed to be used for both studying and and eating. It seemed to be fairly used, as both Velvet and Coco still had half full plates of food in front of them. Weiss was a bit embarrassed of having disturbed their breakfast but needed their help. Velvet went towards the kitchen and brought out a platter of assorted cookies and two mugs of orange juice.

"You two seemed to not have a full breakfast. Help yourselves."

Wiess issued a silent thank you and a nod while Blake smiled at her Fanuas friend. They snacked on the cookies and drank their orange juice while Velvet finished cleaning up the dishes from Coco and her's breakfast. Once she was done, she took her respected seat next to Coco. Coco was the first to speak up.

"So what exactly does Lil Red need?"

Weiss then began to quickly summarize up all the events from the morning from Yang's rule breaking to her story to Weiss coming up with a plan. she then explained the significance of the whole thing and talked about her plan far. It was to distract Ruby long enough to get the Airship ready so they can all go directly to Patch and land at the hill so Ruby wouldn't have to wake that much time. It also had enough room to carry Bumblebee so Weiss was. Making on Yan driving Ruby.

Velvet smiled at the idea of helping at Ruby. That girl had helped her so many times with Cardin and his friends. She always stood up for her and never treated her any differently. Coco was also quite happy to be able to help the redhead. She had devoloped a soft spot for the redhead, treating her like a sister whenever they sparred and met up. She and Yang would always joke about they all somehow being related. It always made her feels better seeing as the accident wasn't that long so for her.

"We'll help Lil Red, Ice Queen. I...I know how it feels to have a family member taken away from you. It sucks. At least Lil Red has this so she can talk to her mother."

Weiss and Blake both looked at each other while Velvet comforted Coco a bit. They both seemed to want to pry into what she was going on about but knew it was probably something that shouldn't be pried into. The nodded and helped clean up thier plates. Velvet at first resisted but soon allowed them to clean up after a long and tedious argument and Coco yelling at them all and then laughing.

"So what's out plan to help Lil Red?"

-Red Roses on Snowy Days-

It was around late morning that Ruby began to show signs of waking up. She was tossing and turning in bed, trying ever so hard to go back to the land of sleep. She was having g a nice dream too. She finally gave up and rubbed her eyes, forcing them to open fully. She stared up at her white bed sheet she used as a curtain and just layed there, not wanting to move. When she finally moved it was to grab her scroll that was charging next to her. she read the time and her eyes widened.

"I slept for a really long time...At least it's a weekend!"

And then she jumped out of bed read to greet her probably awake teammates and sister with a large smile and a hug. Yet when she landed on her feet, she saw no one. She opened the bathroom fire and saw that it was freshly used. She went towards the closets and saw that her teammates combat gear was of of the hangers. She looked towards the table she shared with Weiss and saw a cup of coffee and a note along with a platter of cookies. She slowly munched on a cookie while she read the note.

Hey Rubes. Sorry that Blake, Wiess and I aren't here right now. Blake and I needed to help Weiss get some stuff for a project of hers. We'll be back by late afternoon. Don't wait up.

There was a small P.S at the bottom in the note for aruby as well.

-P.S

I'm sorry that we don't have time to go see mom today. Maybe we can try again next year or go some day in the next few weeks.

Ruby just sat there munching in her cookies and drinking her coffee. To the normal person who does not know Ruby Rose, they might think that Ruby was fine. She had a smile ok her face and overall seemed happy. If you did know Ruby, then you could tell she was sad. She wasn't ravenously munching down cookies like she usually does and she decided to take her coffeee with only two sugars. Her smile seemed fixed and her eyes didn't have the usual happy glint that they usually had.

Mom understand I can't make it this year. I'll try again next year like Yang said. Maybe I'll bring the whole team! Would Weiss wanna come?-

Her train of thought was interrupted by a knocking on the door. She opened it to reveal both Coco and Velvet standing there. Velvet waved at her with a large smile while Coco smirked and had her usual one handed hip pose.

"Hey Lil Red, mind if we come in?"

Ruby nodded and moved out of the way so they could come in. So far, thier plan had worked amazingly. They were tasked with distracting Ruby and then bringing her towards the docks so that they all could surprise her. Ruby sat down on Weiss bed, feeling it be quite cold while Coco and Velvet sat down on Blake's bed.

"I heard what happened from Yang, I'm sorry that you can't see you mom today. I know how add it is to lose a family member."

Velvet put her arm around Coco's shoulders and nodded confirmed to Ruby that Coco did know what she was going through Ruby whispered a soft 'thank you' and gave them both a sad smile. Velvet finally spoke up.

"We were wondering if you wanted to come to Vale with us. We'll buy you anything you want today."

Coco never saw anybody's eyes light up as much as Ruby's did. When she walked in she saw that her eyes were full of that sparkle that made them Ruby Rose but now mentioning her getting anything she wants, the sparkle was back.

"Does that include food?"

Ruby was looking up shyly at them while pushing her two pointer fingers together. Coco laughed at her and ruffled her hair while Velvet giggled a bit and stopped Coco from messing up her hair. Velvet nodded and Ruby gave her the biggest smile.

"Go shower Ruby. Coco and me are going to pick you an outfit to wear to go out instead of your usual combat attire."

Ruby nodded and hurriedly went into the bathroom ready to shower. Coco decided to look through a bag of clothles she had left outside. They were all her clothles and while Coco never liked to share, it just get right to share with Ruby. The only other person she shared with was her sister. Ruby sorta filled in that role for her. When Ruby was done, Coco handed her the clothles through the semi opened bathroom door Ruby had just opened. She quickly took it, making sure to be careful before closing the door again to change.

Ruby finally stepped out wearing a pair of Coco's black jeans with gold zippers. They also had zippers at the knee. She had on a red hoodie Coco had specifically bought to show Ruby and a pair of Vans that Coco used whenever she didn't want to wear her heels. Which was barely, so they looked almost brand new.

"Looking good Red."

Velvet also nodded while Coco playfully ruffled her hair. Ruby decided to hide her embarrassed blushing face under her hood. Velvet then led them out of the dorm room, not before Ruby locked it, towards the docking area. She led them around a building corner and off in the distance Ruby could spot a white airship and a few figures in front of her. As they got closer she could make out the rest of her team.

"What is this?"

Ruby was wondering as Velvet and Coco took thier place with the rest of them as Yang patted Ruby on the back and counted down from three on her fingers. As soon as she reached one...

"Surprise!"

-AN-

So I deleted all the chapters. Yep. Sorry is officially being redone. Though there is a twist. The first four chapters will be the same as a new story I'm writing. Chocolate Milk and Cookies. It's a CocoX Ruby ship. That's why these four Chapters(five counting the mom talk if I make it seperars again.) didn't have that much for either pairing. There were hints at each and jabs at both wanting her. But afterwards. Each story takes a different path. The new story is much more faster pacing but will still be as fluffy. This one is much more slow burn per say. It'll be faster than a normal slow burn but still slower than my new story.
