Silence filled the dorm, as the older woman seemed to be having a staring contest with the younger team in the dorm. Yang, having snapped out of her initial shock, went straight back to being concerned for her baby sister. Yang looked over to the woman with her baby sister and sighed.
"Listen, as much as I want to know who the hell you are, I've got an unconscious little sister who i need to look at, so if your not going to help me get her to the bed next to me then back away from her so i can make sure she is okay." yang stated, which caused the older woman to blink and look down at her sister.
The older woman slowly got up and picked Ruby up bridal style. She handed her over to Yang and backed away again. She seemed to be looking at the girls in fear, and when Weiss opened her mouth to speak, she flinched.
"I-is she okay?" the woman asked, which also caused Blake and Weiss to look over and check on ruby as well
"She seems to just be sleeping, I think we should wait to speak with you until she wakes up." Yang said with a serious expression on her normally laid back face
Older Ruby nodded and sat down at the chair by the desk, the other girls on the team also relaxing when they heard she was fine.
Ten Minutes of awkward silence later, Yang had decided she couldn't take the suspense and simply dumped water on her sister. Silver eyes snapped open and the older rose looked over and felt a ball of unease in her stomach at seeing the color of her eyes.
'Yup, she's me'
Ruby gasped and glared at her older sister, who was innocently hiding the now empty bucket behind her back
"What was that for?!" the young girl shrieked out at her sister
"We needed you awake to ask questions and you were taking your time, so I just sped things up."
"What do you mean 'ask questions'? What's going on?"
"Well, i was scolding you about you missing out on study time when this crazy bright light showed up and a woman came out and landed on you!" Weiss explained, still a bit shocked by what happened
"...A woman? Where is she now?"
"Right here" a familiar but aged voice came from the chair
"Oh." Ruby said, which in turn caused for an awkward silence
"Listen, you all are probably looking for an explanation but i have a few questions before i can get to that." the woman stated
"Shoot."
"Okay, first things first... Your names are Yang Xiao Long, Blake Belladonna, Weiss Schnee, and... Ruby Rose correct?"
"Yeah, how did you...?" Yang trailed off
"I'll get to that, whats the date?"
"...It's XX/XX/XXX"
"Okay... wow..."
"Can you explain to us who you are and how you know our names now?" Weiss asked sharply
Well, what I'm gonna say is weird, and I don't expect you to believe me..."
"you literally came out of a giant ball of light, I think we'll believe you." Blake said with a straight face and slight sarcasm, causing the older rose to chuckle.
"well... uhm... my name is also Ruby Rose?"
She waited until she heard the shocked exclamations of confusion that she knew would happen.
"...It seems I've been sent back ten years... haha..." she said, using jazz hands and ducking her head
"WHAT?!" Screamed out the team in unison again
"25 Year old ruby rose at your service! cookie baker, trained fighter, mother of-"
"WHAT?!" They screamed again
"-my dog" she said with a shit eating grin and snort in their direction. the girls sighed in relief, it seemed Ruby had not had any children as of yet.
"Woah woah slow down... so your telling me that you are this dolt from the future? And that you are a 25 year old woman?!"
"Gee Weiss, scream it for the world to hear why don't you?" Yang said as she rubbed her ears groaning
"Yeah, that pretty much sums it up snow princess"
"Don't call me that!"
Yang got up from her spot on the bed, making her way over to the older woman, taking in the sight of her
"Damn Rubes, you do grow into your Xiao-Long genes! I knew it'd happen one day!"
Ruby groans out from her place on the bed, seemingly confused, and horrified at what was happening
"this is crazy..." yang said to no one and then turned to the others after ignoring the snort from the older ruby
"Both of you have been kind of quiet, you taking this okay?"
Weiss sighed and looked back up at the blonde brawler "We just found out that our Team Leader somehow managed to get sent back in time, now leaving us with 2 of them, define fine?"
"How do we know she is telling the truth" Blake questioned from her spot
"Ask me a question only I would know" the older ruby said with a smile
"What was the book i was reading when you first came up to me- in the ballroom of beacon?"
"If my memory serves me right, it was 'The Man With Two Souls' but it has been almost 11 years"
"Hmm, seems to be telling the truth, but I'm still wary about this. We should get Headmaster Ozpin to check her story out"
The older Ruby grinned and nodded at the suggestion, telling the girls to 'lead the way to the wizard' as but she opened the dorm doors she was stopped by younger Ruby screaming out "WAIT!"
"What is it little me?" The older rose asked
"What if people question who you are?!"
"Ruby is right, we haven't come up with a cover story and we need one before we go anywhere!" Weiss said with a gasp
"Relax Tiny Team! if anyone asks just say you'll introduce me later and that you have an emergency meeting we need to get to" The older woman said with a chuckle, opening the door again and leading out the four girls as they looked uneasy
"Yeah... Okay." Ruby nodded at the solution
"Why can't we come up with one before we see Ozpin?" Yang asked with a raised brow
"I think we need to discuss a cover story with the headmaster before we come up with one that won't work out with what he would need, and so we should wait for his input." the older rose nodded as she said the last part, and the younger ones agreed with the logic.
As they were walking, they were stopped by a certain team of people; Team JNPR.
"Hey guys, who's this?" Jaune asked with an awkward smile
"We'll introduce you later, we need to get somewhere important, see ya!" Ruby blurted out quickly while dragging the older Ruby by the hand and running a bit till the team was out of sight, leaving behind confused member of team JNPR.
"What was that about?" Nora asked
"I'm sure we will find out eventually, let's go get some lunch." Jaune said with a grin and shake of the head
"That sounds grand!" the amazonian said with a smile and so off they went to the cafeteria
Okay, so before I start with the reviews, I have a few important announcements for you guys...
The first one is that I will be gone for around 2 weeks... I will be going on vacation with my family and thus I will be unable to update for a while despite how much I want to keep my update schedule normal and relatively quick
The second thing I need to get out is that I am so shocked by how quickly people have found my story and just how many already enjoy it! I'm so proud by how it has taken off and I really hope that it makes you guys proud- I'd like to remind people that this story is one of the first rosewick fanfiction's I've come up with... It's also the first RWBY one... It won't be perfect, and It might have weird pacing but I am trying really hard to give you guys a good story that you can all enjoy! As I am writing this I have 20 Favs and 35 Follows which is crazy! I really hope I live up to your hopes for this story... :)

Penny-Polendina: I will update as often as I can, but writing and editing chapters does take time, please bear with me
Frank Horrigan: I... I'm not sure what you are getting at? I'd appreciate it if you could explain your review to me... I'm not sure if it was a prediction for the story, Hate on the ship, or maybe just some rambling?
jayfeather767: I really hope you do keep an eye on it, and I hope it interests you as it goes on :)
Chitsukee: I was kinda in shock... I really enjoy your edits and some of your fanfictions and the fact that you enjoyed the first chapter is just insane haha... I hope you continue to enjoy it and that it unfolds to be something you and the others following will enjoy :) (I also love rosewick)
Now that the reviews are taken care of I would just like to point out that the chibi episode (Magic Show) had a really cute scene with Ruby and Roman staring each other down and my shipping heart could not take it.
See you all in 2 weeks :(
