Blake arrived at her apartment to find Velvet waiting for her on the couch. I regret giving her the key to my place. Thought Blake as she walked over to the tan couch and sat down next to Velvet. Blake's two room apartment was constantly being invaded by Velvet since Coco was usually busy with work. Velvet got lonely very easily, because she was used to the lifestyle that came along with being part of a big family and Blake usually didn't mind the company.

Blake and Velvet met when they were both fifteen and Blake had just arrived at Vacuo. Velvet found Blake on the streets after a group of racists had attacked Blake and left her for dead, Velvet had brought Blake home to her family and convinced them to let her stay. Blake eventually became part of the Scarlatina family and they ended up adopting her into the family. Eventually when they were twenty two Velvet met Coco and they quickly fell for each other. Coco had just started out her clothing line when she convinced Velvet to come with her to Vale to expand her clothing line and the only way that Velvet would even consider going to Vale was if Blake had come with them, so she did, the only reason she even considered going back to Vale was because Velvet needed her there with her (and also the small chance of seeing Ruby again). In the beginning, Blake lived with Velvet and Coco but quickly moved out and got her own place once they had gotten married three years ago.

"So spill, how do you know Rose? I can't believe I found someone from your mysterious past." said Velvet hopping up and down in her seat from excitement. Since Blake was very cagey when it came to talking about her past, she hadn't told Velvet a lot about her past. Velvet only knows that she had previously been in the foster system and a few scraps of information here and there but Velvet never pushed her for more, knowing it brought back bad memories for Blake.

Blake leaned back and relaxed into the soft cushions of the couch and sighed "I got to know Ruby when I was in my second foster home. That foster parent's name was Cinder, she didn't really care about me and only cared about the pay she received from the government for taking in foster kids. I was five when I met Ruby, one day when the social worker, Glynda, had shown up to check up on me Cinder took me to the park to appear like a 'good mom' and then when Glynda left, Cinder left, forgetting me in the park. Eventually, Ruby's mom found me crying under a tree and she took me in for a day or two until we found Cinder. When we did find Cinder I found out they only lived two houses away and I would take every chance I got to sneak out and visit Ruby and her mom, Summer, my foster mom couldn't have cared less if I was home or not as long as she was getting paid and didn't have to take care of me. Ruby and I were fast friends and stayed friends for two years, before Cinder adopted this one girl with brown and pink hair I forgot what her name was but because of her Cinder called Glynda to take me to a new foster home... and she did... I haven't seen Ruby again, until today." Velvet looked at Blake to see sadness and regret in her eyes. "I could have gone to see her after I ran away from the system but I got scared she had forgotten me and went to Vacuo instead... and you know the rest."

"Wow, I'm surprised that you remember each other after all this time." said Velvet.

"Ruby was one of my only real friends while I was in the system, so I would always think of her while I was in a particularly bad home. On the other hand, I'm surprised she and her sister remembered me at all."

"Oh is this the other friend you were talking about?" she asked, Blake smiled and nodded.

"So that's the mystery Blake?" said Weiss after Blake had left, leaving a faint scent of jasmine in her wake.

Ruby and Yang nodded excitedly, "I'm so happy I got to see her again! I also get to work with her which means that I get to see her more! I'm so excited to work with her!" said Ruby

"Yeah you would be, considering how long you've been pining after her." teased Yang.

"S-shut up Yang!" yelled Ruby with her face running red with embarrassment.

"Hey Ruby where's you're hoodie? You never go anywhere without it." asked Weiss.

Ruby furrowed her brow. "It's right... Oh... I lent it to Blake because she was cold." Weiss's eyes widen in surprise and Yang smirked.

"Wow Ruby that's big, isn't the inside lining made with the cape your mother gave you?" said Weiss.

Before Ruby could give a response Yang said "See I told you, she liked her." and nudged Weiss with her elbow.

Ruby's face turned beat red and she silently left the living room to go to her room. Ruby lived in a two room apartment that she shared with Yang and occasionally Weiss. She could hear Yang and Weiss starting back up again in Yang's room. Ruby rolled her eyes, put on her noise canceling headphones, she blasted some music to block out the disturbing sounds leaking through the paper thin walls.

What? Are they in heat or something? At least wait until I'm not home or be quieter or better yet just go to Weiss's place. Thought Ruby angrily.

Ruby's room was the smaller of the two rooms and it just consisted of her twin bed on the far side of the room, opposite of the door, two wardrobes, a box or two filled with a bunch of files that held her drawings and other things (Weiss had made her get it after she saw how disorganized she was) and a large desk the corner of her room that had her sketchbook, portfolio, and a silver laptop. There were also a few posters and pictures strewn across her white walls. She walked up to a particular picture just above her bed and looked at it nostalgically. It was a polaroid picture of Ruby, Blake and Summer baking cookies. Ruby and Blake were covered in flour and cookie dough, but had brilliant smiles across their faces, Summer looked spotless with the sun light emanating from the window behind her shining just right making her look amazing.

Talk about picture perfect. Ruby groaned at her pun and thought. God I need to stop hanging out with Yang so much.
