~Blakey out

Chapter 2: The Name

Blake was sitting in a chair in the backyard of Ruby and Yang's house. She pulled out her scroll and started texting her mother.

Blake: Hey mom, guess what?

Kali: What sweetie?

Blake: I made the cut. I'm now a member.

Kali: Yay! Oh, I'm so proud of you! See I told you, I knew you could do it!

Blake: Thanks, but I have to stay for a bit longer, we need a band name.

Kali: Cool! Maybe I could help with that. Give me the name of your band mates, first name only though.

Blake: Uh… ok, well there's Ruby, Weiss, me, and Yang

Kali: Hm… Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang

Blake: Mom, what are you thinking?

Kali: What about RWBY?

Blake: RWBY as in the color ruby?

Kali: Yeah, though that's a bit confusing. RWBY, as in your band mate Ruby

Blake: Hm… that is a bit confusing, but I'll ask anyways.

Kali: Good luck Luv U! 3

Blake: Luv u 2 mom 3

Putting her scroll back into her pocket, she walked up to the rest of her band mates. "Hey, Blake, what's up?" Yang asked.

"Oh, nothing really, though I might have a name for this band. My mom made it up, and I wanted to get your guys' opinion." Blake responded, bringing the text she had with her mom to Yang.

"RWBY? As in the color? Hm… that actually doesn't sound too bad. Though I do have to agree with the whole Ruby confusion, though technically it was her idea, so she should be leader." Yang said, as the other two peered over.

"How did she even come up with that name?" Weiss asked. Blake looked very hard at the name.

"It looks like she took the first initial of our names, and just put them together," Blake replied. It was true, she did just put their names together. R for Ruby, W for Weiss, B for Blake, and Y for Yang. It's like she had that name stuck in her head, waiting for this moment.

"Wow! Your mom is creative!" Ruby said, enthusiastically.

"Yeah, she is, that's what I love about her. She's the kind of person that looks for a new angle." Blake announced with a small smile appearing on her face. A 'ding' noise was heard, Blake looked down at her scroll and saw it was her mom:

Kali: Hey, did it work?

Blake looked at her new friends, "RWBY it is?" They all nodded.

Blake: Yeah it did, thanks mom. :)

Kali: Np, honey. I'll come pick you up now. Maybe I'll meet your new friends.

Blake: Fine. Just… don't embarrass me, please

Kali: Oh, c'mon, I'm a parent, it's our job to embarrass you.

Blake: MOM!

Kali: JK, I'm coming. 3

About 30 minutes after their conversation, Kali arrived at the house. She stepped out of the car and walked over to Blake and the rest. "Oh, hello, you must be Blake's mom, right?" Yang asked, gesturing out her hand so that Kali could shake it. "Yes, I am, Kali, nice to meet you…" She took her hand and shook it, but waited for her name.

"I'm Yang, and this is Ruby, and that's Weiss. I'm looking forward to be working with your daughter."

"HI!"

"Hello."

"Wait, Weiss Schnee, as in the heir to the SRC?"

"Yes, that is correct, I wasn't suppose to be, but my older sister decided to join the army with General Ironwood."

"Ah, well, Blake, you seem to have made quite the interesting amount of friends," Kali said looking towards her daughter.

"Yes mom, I have, now can we get going, all that singing made me hungry."

"Why of course, it was nice meeting you all. But before we leave, when is the next meeting?"

"Meetings are always Saturdays at 12, unless we have something pop up, which reminds me, Blake can we get your number in case something pops up?" Yang asked, pulling out her scroll.

"Sure," Blake hands her scroll to Yang, who finds her number and places it into her scroll.

"Thanks, see you at the next meeting." Yang waves off as Blake leaves the house with her mom.

Blake and Kali arrives home, and already Blake could tell that dinner was ready. "What's for dinner tonight?" Blake asks.

"I think it was Orange Chicken and rice," Kali answered. Blake loves orange chicken, but it has to be sweet chicken, not spicy. Her and spicy food are like cats and dogs, she's not a fan. They walk into the house, and surely enough, orange chicken and rice is set up on the dinner table. And Blake's father Ghira is already sitting, waiting for his family.

"I heard you made it, Blake. I'm so proud of you." Ghira said getting up from the table to hug his daughter.

"Thanks, dad, I'm actually proud of myself, too," Blake said breaking the hug to sit at the table.

"In honor of Blake's success, we need to have this wonderful family dinner, that's why I made more than three servings today." Blake was confused about what her father said, but before she could question, the doorbell rang. "I'll get it." Ghira walked to the door, and when he opened it, other family members came flooding in with presents and "Congrats" balloons.

"Wait, you told everyone!" Blake said surprised. She couldn't believe that her parents told all of their family members, in under an hour, that she made the cut. Even her favorite tio came over to congratulate her.
"Tio!" Blake shouted, and ran towards her uncle. He caught her in a huge hug.

"Hey, pequeño gatito, congrats! I'm so proud."

Everyone was having a blast, they had dinner, chat with each other, made jokes, it was fun. And Blake was ok with it, she hasn't had this much fun in a while, and it felt good to let loose every so often.

When it was time to go, they said their goodbyes, and gave her one more congrats before hitting the road. "See, what did I tell you, you needed that family bonding. You haven't been loose since you left the White Fang." Kali said, looking back to the day she joined, and the day she left. She wasn't bright, she was always was so serious, and never took a joke. She never laughed or cried, she was always sad at certain times. It broke Kali and Ghira's heart. Now that she's forgotten about it, she's happier, and is connected more with her family.

"Alright, I think I could speak for us all and say it's time for bed," Ghira said, giving a little yawn. The other two nodded and head upstairs to get ready for bed.

"Good night, mom, goodnight, dad," Blake called.

"Goodnight, Blake."

~The Next Meeting~

The sun was shining in Blake's room, causing her to get up. She looked at the clock on her night stand, and it read, 9:45am. Blake stepped out of her bed and stretched, and let out a small yawn. She has plenty of time to get ready for the next meeting. She got dressed in her favorite black jacket, with dark jeans, and black converse. And to top it all off, a black bow, sitting on her head.

Satisfied with her outfit, Blake walked downstairs to eat breakfast. When she got to the kitchen, her mom was there serving plates of pancakes, bacon, and eggs. "Morning, mom." Blake said sitting at the table.

"Morning, Blake. Ready for the next meeting?" Kali asked, giving her a plate. It had 3 buttermilk pancakes with bacon and eggs.

"Yeah, but I think I'll drive there this time. Don't have to worry about me."

"That's fine. Just be careful, ok?"

"I will." Blake starts eating her breakfast and savors each and every bite.

With the last bite swallowed, Kali grabbed her plate and placed it in the sink.

"Hey mom, que hora es?" Blake asked with no clock near her.

"10:30." Kali replied.

Good, Blake still had time to finish getting ready.

~Magical Time Skip to 11:15~

"Alright mom, I'm heading out." Blake called out.

"Ok, have fun," Kali grabbed the keys to her car, which is a black Jeep Wrangler, and headed out.

She arrived at the house, and realized that she was the first one there. She looked on her radio and it read, 11:45am. So she decided to wait for a bit. But she saw someone heading towards her car. It was someone she wasn't familiar with. He was a muscular man, with blonde hair, and tanned skin. Blake rolled down the window of the passenger side. "May I help you?" She asked the man.

"I was just wondering if you were here for the meeting," the man replied.

"Yes I am, is there something going on, is it cancelled?"

"No, its not, I was just here to greet you, that's all. Hmm… you must be Blake, right?"

"I am… how did you know?"

"I'm Yang's father. She talks non stop about you. It's actually quite funny. Oh, by the way, the name's Taiyang, but you can just call me Tai." Wait, she talks about me?

"What does she talk about?"

"Pardon?"

"Yang, what does she talk about?"

"A lot of things really, like how such a great singer you are."

"Oh...anything else?"

"Well i mean, she also talks about your looks as well," Tai smirks, only making Blake blush. "I'm just teasing, but in all seriousness, she seems to really like you. She believes you guys will have a perfect bond. Now, c'mon, you have a meeting to attend to." Blake nods and steps out of the car. "Oh, and, nice ride."

"Thanks." Tai gestures Blake towards the house. When they were in, Blake saw Weiss and the other two. Wow, Weiss' father really like to make sure she's here, doesn't he.

"Hey, Blake, so glad you could make it," Yang greeted.

"Thanks, good to be here. Your house looks nice."

"Why thank you," Yang takes a bow. Blake giggled a bit.

"So Blake, you ready to start?" Yang asked.

"Yeah. So what's on the agenda, today?"

"Well…" Ruby spoke, but paused to think. "What I was really hoping to do is to write our own song, but that might take forever."

"That's true. Writing a song takes a good portion of time." Weiss replied.

"Even if we were going to write a song, what would it be about. We can't just make up words and piece it together into a song." Blake responded.

"Blake has a point," Yang hummed.

"What about a love song?"

"Really… a love song," Weiss scoffed.

"Yeah, I'm with Weiss, not so keen on that idea," Yang agreed.

"Not one of those kind of love songs, but like you learn a lesson from it,"

"A… lesson?" Blake asked, confused. The others looked confused as well.

"What you guys have never experienced a situation like that?" Ruby looked at them with shocked expression. Now that Blake thought about it, she was in a similar situation. Her last partner was Adam Taurus. They were both in an organization called the White Fang. But Adam wasn't the kindest person on the planet. Hence the reason she left before things were out of had.

"Yeah, I've had that experience before."
