Yang had decided she was going to stay the night in the dorm since Ruby had yet to come out of the bathroom. It was a week before classes actually started, so it wasn't a big deal, and Weiss didn't mind.

The two talked for a couple of hours and got to know each other a little bit.

Weiss learned that Yang was a sophomore on an athletic scholarship. She excelled at boxing and was a natural fighter. She was studying physical therapy as a major since it combined athletics and a good career opportunity. And she liked helping people.

Weiss also told her what she was studying and why. Yang didn't seem surprised though. Most people knew her father's company and expected nothing less of his daughter.

After she had finished explaining about herself, Weiss asked what Ruby was studying.

Yang answered this by saying, "She doesn't like it when I describe her majors and a lot of things about her. It's one of the effects of her social anxiety. She will tell you eventually I'm sure."

Weiss nodded, not sure how to respond.

Yang went over to check on her again, so Weiss laid down on her bed and quickly fell asleep.

About midway through the night Weiss woke. She looked around the room and noticed that Yang had fallen asleep on Ruby's bed and Ruby herself was not in the room. Weiss glanced towards the bathroom door and saw the faint light coming from underneath the door, signifying that Ruby was still in there. This partially annoyed Weiss because she really had to use the bathroom, yet she knew she wouldn't be able to till the morning at most. Therefore, she laid back down and attempted to fall back asleep.

About five minutes later, the light went out in the bathroom and the door began to open silently. Weiss opened her eyes slightly to see what was happening. She watched as Ruby walked out of the room and over to the beds. She paused next to Weiss and starred at her for a moment. Weiss tried to act like she was asleep while still trying to watch Ruby at the same time. Ruby, after a moment, gave a simple nod of her head and walked over to Yang. She laid down next to her and closed her eyes. Weiss noticed a faint smile on her face as she fell asleep, and felt glad that she seemed to approve of her. She then once more closed her eyes and fell asleep.

About midmorning, Weiss woke for the day. As she sat up she noticed that the sisters were both out of bed. Once more the bathroom was closed, and Weiss assumed it to be Yang. However, she found Yang sitting at a table in the other room with a cup of coffee and a newspaper, the latter of which Weiss found odd.

"Good morning Weiss." She said as Weiss entered the room.

"Morning." She replied. She pointed towards the door. "Any sign of her this morning?" She asked

"No" Yang replied. "I don't know if she has come out at all. It really worries me."

"She came out last night and slept next to you." Weiss told her.

"Interesting, she must have gotten up before I did." She said. "I hope we can get her to come out at some point today."

"Yeah, hopefully," Weiss replied. "I'm going to go and buy some breakfast, you want anything?"

"I could take some coffee if you don't mind, this stuff isn't very good." She said, motioning towards her premade cup.

"Sure, be back later." Weiss said.

The two girls traded phone numbers to keep in touch with one another and Weiss exited the dorm.

About an hour and a half later Weiss returned.

"Here's your coffee Yang." She said as she walked in.

The blonde girl took it hastily and began to drink it quickly.

"Has Ruby come out yet?" Weiss asked.

Yang shook her head and placed the empty coffee cup on the table. "I'm not sure if she's asleep, but I didn't get any answer when I knocked earlier."

"Okay, well I brought some breakfast back from the coffee shop to see if she would want any." She replied.

"You can try but I don't think it will help." Yang said as she reached towards the food hungrily.

Weiss walked over to the bathroom door and gave a slight knock. "Ruby, are you in there?" She said.

Nothing.

She knocked harder and repeated the phrase. This time she could hear movement and hear the girl breathing.

"Ruby," Weiss said, "can you please come out? Yang and I want to talk to you. We bought some breakfast for you, so can you please come out?"

Weiss heard more movement, but after a few moments there was still no answer. She sighed and walked away. However, as she walked away she heard the small click of the door's lock. She turned and watched as the door opened and Ruby emerged. Her head was down and her face was bright red like the previous evening.

The three girls were motionless for a moment, each not quite sure how to proceed. Ruby moved first. With her head still down she brushed past Weiss and sat down next to Yang and whispered something into her ear. Yang gave her sister a pat on the back and replied softly. They talked silently for a moment. When they finished Yang stood up and walked over towards Weiss.

"Could you come over here for a moment?" she asked.

Weiss followed her into the next room where she stopped and faced the blonde girl.

"Okay," Yang began, "Ruby is still really nervous and is trying to calm down, but she wants to apologize for not talking to you and hiding all evening."

"It's okay." Weiss said, "I understand that she is going through a hard time and that it is going to be weird these first few days."

"Good." Yang replied. "Anyways, she said to give her a few minutes so I can talk with her and then she will try and talk to you some more. Okay?"

"Alright, whatever she needs to relax." Weiss said. "In the meantime, I'm going to take a quick shower now that she is out of the bathroom."

Yang nodded and went back into the other room. Weiss gathered what she needed and proceeded with her shower.

Weiss stepped out of the bathroom, fresh and clean from her shower. She put her things away and walked into the other room where Yang and Ruby were at. When she walked in, it appeared to Weiss that Ruby was calm and happy, as she was calmly talking to Yang as if nothing was different. However, once she noticed Weiss approaching her face turned its usual red shade and she put her head down. Yang wrapped an arm around her sister.

"Come and sit down Weiss." She said pointing to a chair at the other end of the table.

Weiss sat and waited to see what was next. Yang gave Ruby a nudge.

"Come on," she said, "Everything is going to be fine, just relax."

Ruby gave a large sigh and closed her eyes. She raised her head up and looked at Weiss for a moment.

"Hi…Weiss," she said softly.

"Hello Ruby. It's very nice to meet you." Weiss answered.

There was silence between them for several moments.

"Alright, since no one seems like talking right now I guess I will start." Yang stated rather loudly. "Weiss, is there anything you would like to know about me or Ruby?"

"Um…I don't know." Weiss said, feeling slightly intimidated for some odd reason

"Okay then," Yang said, "Ruby is there anything you want to know about Weiss?"

Ruby remained silent.

Yang sighed. "Someone just say something already!"

"Ruby, what do you plan to study here?" Weiss finally asked.

"I don't really know." Ruby softly answered after a moment. "I have had a really hard time deciding."

"Okay, then." Weiss said. She was out of ideas for conversation so she sat there and looked around awkwardly.

There was once more silence. After a couple of minutes, Ruby put her head down and sighed.

"I'm sorry Weiss." She said softly.

Both Weiss and Yang looked at her confusedly.

"Sorry for what?" Weiss asked.

"I'm sorry that…that I'm having a tough time talking to you and I know you think I'm crazy and what's wrong with me and…" She threw Yang's arm off of her shoulder and began to run once more to the solitude of the bathroom. Tears were streaming down her face and her hands tried to cover her face as she ran.

"Ruby stop!" Weiss yelled.

The girl stopped and turned to face her. She removed her hands from her face, but tears still rolled across her face. Weiss stood up and walked over to where she stood, stopping in front of her. She stood and looked Ruby in the eyes.

"Ruby, I want you to know this," She began, "I don't think you're crazy, and I don't think there is anything wrong with you. What I do think is that you need someone who understands what you are going through and is willing to help you. I can and will be that person; I will be your friend, your shoulder to cry on, and whatever else you may need. I know what you are going through."

Ruby looked up at her, confused.

"Through most of my childhood and adolescent years my parents kept me mostly secluded from other people. I had private tutors and instructors, no one else to play with or get to know. The only children I met where those of other wealthy family's that my parents allowed me to meet."

Ruby nodded.

"That was about up until a year ago. My father decided that since I was going to college that I should be allowed to get comfortable around other people so he allowed me to go out and meet people free of his will for the first time. I had no social skills and I felt dumb and secluded from everyone else. There were many time that I felt like hiding and not dealing with the situation, but I made myself go out and talk to people. I met a couple of people and became friends with them. They helped me to get through all of my social troubles and I was able to become comfortable in social situations around new people. I want to be there for you because I know what it's like, and I can help you in ways most other people can't, so please, talk with me and we can figure out how we are going to get you through this."

By this point, Ruby was no longer crying and she stood there confusedly amazed at Weiss's speech. Yang too was surprised at what Weiss had said and stood back in awe. Weiss merely turned and sat down. She gestured toward Ruby's empty seat as a sign telling her to sit down. Ruby walked over and sat down.

"Now," Weiss said, "sit down and let's figure this out."
