Wow, the story's not dead! What a surprise!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything remotely RWBY. Or even Yue herself- that's a co-op thing right there. If I did own RWBY… you would know. You would definitely know (more people would've been dead canonically already with me as a writer).

Chapter 4: Welcome to Beacon

A bright light was shone onto Yue's eyelids, painting the world a fleshy red. In response, she shut her eyelids tighter, turning her head away from the light. Groaning, Yue tried to raise an arm to block the light, but her muscles screamed in protest as they refused to move.

"She's awake," a voice exclaimed somewhere at her feet. The light finally dimmed to a minor annoyance as feet clattered against the floor around her.

Yue finally blinked away the bleariness from her eyes as her vision came back into focus. The first thing she noticed was the white tiles on the ceiling with lights burning a whitish-yellow with burning intensity. Turning her head slightly to her left, a window was mounted into a grayish-blue wall overlooking Vale right in the morning, the sky a slight pink tint from the early morning sun. Yue groaned as she looked just a bit closer down towards her feet. At the edge of her vision was a metal frame holding up the bed she laid in. And near that was-.

"Yue," a voice exclaimed before Yue's vision was consumed in orange. She found herself engulfed in a pair of strong arms starting to suffocate her in a hug. "You're okay, right?" Finnick asked, "Come on, say something."

"Air," Yue gasped out, her voice muffled by Finnick's chest.

"Oh, right," the embarrassment was clear as day in Finnick's voice as he pulled away.

Yue sat up, while her back screamed in pain, and took a quick look around. A doctor was at her side, fiddling with the machines hooked into and onto her arm that pumped various fluids into her. On the opposite side of the bed from Finnick was a relieved Daniel with his arm draped around Sapphire's shoulders. "Hey, guys," Yue greeted, already tired from the effort to try and sit up. She slumped back against the back frame, letting out a deep sigh. "What happened? Are we in?"

"Are we in?" Daniel echoed in disbelief, "I'm pretty sure when you become a Beowolf's chew toy and then get trampled by a couple of Boartusks, you don't say, 'Are we in?' while you're recovering."

"Well," Yue managed out a smirk, "you never met me. So, did we get in?"

Finnick grinned broadly. "Heck yeah, we did," he cheered, "Apparently, we were the top team in terms of kills, and third when you considered the caliber of the grim we fought."

"Huh," Yue huffed while laying back down, "Some teams actually had it worse than us, then." A thought crossed her mind, "Wait, so does that mean we're a team?"

"Sure does," Sapphire affirmed, "though they haven't officially announced it yet. Headmaster Ozpin wanted everybody to be fully recovered before we went on with the ceremony."

"Shoot," Yue groaned, "Sorry if I put stuff behind schedule."

"Not just you," Daniel assured with a small smirk, "Although you haven't really put it behind schedule all that much. It's been barely 36 hours. Also, you should really see Cardin. Apparently one of his teammates accidently nailed him in the back with a shot."

Yue laughed for a brief second before ending in a coughing fit. Finnick leaned over her bed with a concerned look. "You okay?" he asked.

Before she answered, Yue pointed a shaky finger towards Daniel's direction. "You," she mumbled just before darks spots dotted her vision, "You have a book you need to replace for me."

Daniel blinked once before laughing. "She's going to be fine," he announced.

"She will," the doctor finally spoke up, ruffling his mouse brown hair while looking at the teens with blue eyes, "If you all could just clear out and let her rest. Please, I need to run a few more things before I can say for certain there won't be any lasting damage."

Sapphire nodded before pulling Daniel away from the scene. Turning back, she called to Yue, "We'll be back soon- get well."

Yue gave her a weak thumbs-up as she closed her eyes. "See you guys at the ceremony," she announced.

Finnick waved back before following his teammates out the door. As soon as the door closed, Yue flopped her head back onto her pillow with an audible thud, sighing as she closed her eyes again. "How long am I going to be in here?" she asked the doctor.

The doctor did a quick mental calculation before replying, "If you're lucky, two days. Max is going to be the entire week."

Yue sighed again. "Well, I guess I'm going to have to rest a lot," she mused just before diving back into unconsciousness.

-xXxX-Line Break-XxXx-

Three days later, Yue was standing next to her teammates as she anxiously waited for them to be called up. Yue fiddled with a bandage on her right arm as she looked over the enormous crowd of spectators. A hand coming down on her shoulder made Yue jump where she stood, her head whirling around to the hand's owner. "Yue," Finnick comforted with a pointed look, "Chill out. We're already in. All you have to do is survive this, which should be a piece of cake."

"Easier said than done," Yue huffed with a shaky breath. She turned back to the stage where Ozpin was announcing another team, and then her eyes had to linger towards the crowd. "I'm… I'm really not good in public."

Daniel looked back from his position in front of Yue, giving the blue-haired girl a reassuring smile. "If it makes you feel any better, these guys probably won't pay much attention. At least not as much until you climb the ranks and years in this school. Just think of this as the first and only time you'll see them for a long time."

Yue's face blanked as all the blood rushed out of her face. "T-that doesn't help," she stuttered, "What if I mess up, and everyone sees it, and then that's the only thing they'll think of me whenever they see me, and-."

"Guys," Sapphire interrupted, beckoning her teammates forward, "That's our queue."

Yue looked up towards the stage as the last team started to walk off. "Oh no," she hyperventilated as Finnick gently guided her up the steps, "Oh no, oh no, oh no."

"Daniel Gotzon," Ozpin announced into the microphone, either ignoring Yue's panicked look or missing it completely, "Finnick Chazwick, Yue Bing Ying, and Sapphire Oswald." The aforementioned teenagers, stood attentively, hands clasped behind their backs. Yue was swaying slightly from side to side as her knees felt like they could be seen shaking all the way from the other side of Vale. "You four are now Team DFYS (Davy's), led by Daniel Gotzon." (AN: Davy's Gray is an actual color. You don't know how freaking lucky I got with my lettering) "Congratulations."

With that, a roaring applause came from the audience. Yue breathed out a sigh of relief just as Finnick threw an arm around her shoulders, dragging her down slightly before she caught herself and gave him a small, almost unnoticeable glare. Finnick backed off, his hands up in a surrendering fashion as an embarrassed smile donned his face. Daniel let out a whoop as he threw up his fists towards the sky, looking over the crowd as they continued to clap. Sapphire… she looked stunned for a second, glancing at Daniel with a befuddled expression. After a brief moment, she wiped her face clean and replaced it with a smile.

As they walked off the stage, Daniel turned towards his teammates. "I can't believe we actually did it. More than that, I can't believe I'm the leader."

Sapphire snorted softly. "Neither can I," she added.

Yue leaned towards Finnick, a wry smile playing on her lips. "I think someone's jealous, don't you?" she said in a singsong voice, trying to keep her voice in a whisper.

"Am not," Sapphire snapped, whirling around and startling her teammates. Looking around her, she realized she may have been a bit too loud when she noticed a couple of bystanders staring at her, startled.

"You're not what?" Daniel asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I just-," Sapphire started. She hesitated for a second before sighing. "Nothing. Sorry, it's a bit petty of me."

"What is?"

"She wants to be the leader of the team, probably," Yue answered for Sapphire. Sapphire turned to her teammate with a scathing look that Yue responded with a surrendering gesture. "Hey, hey, hey," she blurted, "Don't shoot the messenger."

"The messenger that wasn't supposed to blurt out what she wasn't supposed to say?" Sapphire corrected. From the corner of her eye, Sapphire caught Daniel's surprised look. She sighed as her shoulders drooped. "I told you it was petty," she grumbled.

"No, not really," Finnick broke in. He walked forward with a shrug. "I mean, Daniel's probably the most childish one here out of the four of us."

"Hey," Daniel exclaimed, his voice a few octaves higher than it usually is.

"Sorry," Finnick apologized, sounding not in the slightest bit apologetic as he continued talking to Sapphire, "But look at it in the other direction. Daniel helped us be on the same team together, right? And he also helped take charge for a bit in the forest."

"Well," Sapphire drawled, rubbing an arm unconsciously, "Yeah…"

"It's not even day one," Yue added, "Give Daniel a chance."

Sapphire examined Daniel's expressionless face. "I'm not unreasonable," she answered, "I'll let it happen."

"Let what happen?" Daniel exclaimed as he threw his hands up, "I'm so confused!"

Yue pushed him lightly for him to keep walking forward. "Let's just leave it at that," she giggled.

Daniel groaned in frustration, putting a smile on everyone's faces. After another minute of random points coming up between Team DVYS, Ozpin spoke again, this time for another team. "Ruby Rose," he announced, "Weiss Schnee…"

The four looked up to see four more girls take the stage. Daniel had to take a double-take, eyeing a specific one with a sort of intensity. He looked back at Yue with a weird twinkle to his eye. Yue noticed from the corner of her own eye and blushed. "What?" she asked self-consciously.

Without a response, Daniel turned to Sapphire who was looking up at the stage. "Tell me you don't see it," he dared, "Do you anything a bit… weird about someone up there?" He gave Sapphire an unnecessary nudge and a pointed look. "Someone that looks… familiar?"

Sapphire took a quick glance at Daniel, then Yue (who was beginning to fume from their vagueness), and then back at the new team being announced. "You don't say," Sapphire remarked with a small smirk.

"What is?" Yue exploded, stomping her foot like a kid throwing a tantrum.

Finnick chuckled under his breath, loving every bit of Yue's obliviousness. "Should we tell her?" he asked the rest of them, "I mean, she's going to find out somehow."

"Who looks familiar?" Yue demanded, "The girl in black up there?" She pointed to the girl with a small black bow on the far end of the row on stage. "Yeah, I know her- you guys know her as well?"

Daniel threw his head back and groaned- out of disbelief and not of anger this time. "Holy cow, you really don't know who we're talking about," he quipped, "I mean, you have a one out of four chance to get it right. One out of three since you've picked out… Blake, was it?"

Yue stole another look at the group on stage with the crowd around them applauding as Ozpin finished introducing the new team. "The blonde girl?" Yue guessed, "You've met her as well? She's pretty annoying."

Daniel shook his head as he clapped along with the crowd. "I actually can't believe you," he admitted with a chuckle, "At least you got the correct person."

"What else are you talking about?" Yue demanded, almost directly in front of Daniel's face.

Even though she was taller, Daniel ruffled Yue's blue hair, making her already steaming mood even more explosive. "Let's just leave it at that," he echoed her own words with a bright and infuriating smirk.

Yue grabbed her head as she shook from not knowing what was going on. "I'm going to punch something," she claimed.

"Oh, please," Sapphire begged, putting her hands on Daniel's shoulders to hold him steady, "I'd pay to see this."

"Traitor," Daniel exclaimed lightly as Sapphire just gave him an indifferent shrug. His attention was dragged away when he caught a glance at Yue's blank face. "I mean," he said in a meek voice, "you got the right person." When Yue's face didn't change, Daniel put his hands up in surrender. "Secret for a secret?" he offered.

Eventually, Yue sighed, looking back onto the stage as the next team was being formed. "Nah," she replied, "I'd rather not. Water under the bridge, right?"

Sapphire took her hands off of Daniel's shoulders, a small fake and humorous pout appearing on her face. In response, Daniel shot her a small glare which she blatantly ignored. Finnick sighed as he watched the three of them off to the side. "This is going to be an interesting team," he mused.

-xXxX-Line Break-XxXx-

"Well, I think it's time to see our new room," Daniel announced, hands behind his head while leading his friends out the auditorium. The crowd around them funneled the team through the vast archway and into the halls, giving them just enough breathing room at the edge of the hallway to actually see anything besides the back of the next person's head. "Are you guys gonna join me?"

"Not yet," Yue replied before anyone else could, "I have to see someone else before that- haven't seen him since the day before Initiation." She stood on her toes, peering over the crowd with a hand hovering above her eyes to try and plan her route. "You guys go on ahead."

"Who are you meeting?" Sapphire asked, a small tilt to her head.

"Port," Yue answered offhandedly, still scanning the halls filled with dozens of students.

Daniel raised an eyebrow at her. "How'd you get in trouble before we were even in Beacon?" he questioned, "Even I couldn't do that." Sapphire tried to open her mouth, a bemused expression on her face, but Daniel beat her to it. He held up a finger and quickly added, "Don't ask."

"No, she's not in trouble," Finnick answered since Yue didn't hear the question. He threw an arm over Yue's shoulders, making her come back onto her heels. "I'll come with you if you don't mind," he tacked on.

"Arm," Yue said automatically. Understanding, Finnick pulled his arm away, rubbing the back of his neck in slight embarrassment. "I wouldn't mind," Yue answered, "But you don't have to… inconvenience yourself, really. I can find my way."

"Sorry," Finnick replied, "but I'm your partner."

"And?" Yue inquired.

"Come on." Finnick spread out his arms. "That has to count for something, right?"

"Wait, wait, wait," Sapphire interrupted, "Time out. Am I missing something here? Why are you seeing Professor Port in the first place?"

Yue scraped the ground with the sole of her shoe. The clambering of shoes against the ground quieted as the crowd finally thinned, giving Team DVYS a bit more room and (to Yue's relief) a bit fewer ears and eyes on them. "He's sort of my…" Yue drawled out, "He's kind of my mentor."

Looks of surprise replaced whatever previous expressions Daniel and Sapphire wore, and Finnick couldn't help but smirk at the predicted reactions. Yue also could already tell what her friends were thinking, and still, she shrunk back slightly. "Hey, it was the best we could do," she defended, "My dad and I didn't really have the… time to get into one of the big schools."

"Wait." An even bigger surprise stunned Daniel as he blinked. "You didn't go to any of the preparation schools?" Yue shook her head. "Signal?" Again, a shake of the head. "Voorskoolse? The one a bit south of here?" (AN: Voorskoolse is apparently preschool in Afrikaans. And there's some trivia for you).

Yue shook her head again, this time with a bit more force. "No," she boomed, "Why is that so hard to understand?"

Daniel stumbled back a bit, as did some of the people around them. "Sorry," he apologized, "I just thought, and don't take this the wrong way, you're a lot more… social than I thought you would be."

Yue narrowed her eyes. "And what does that mean?" she accused.

Daniel put a hand to his chin, deep in thought. "You're a lot more… open, I guess," he answered, "I mean, as soon as Saph and I," ("Don't call me that," Sapphire grumbled,) "met you, you started joking around with us."

Yue's face brightened as she laughed. "Oh, trust me," she began, "You haven't seen me at my full introvert level yet."

"I don't know," Daniel grinned back, "You got pretty upset when I took your book."

"Because it's a book," Yue exclaimed, "Not only a book, but my favorite one as well!" All she received from her minor explosion was an arrogant smirk from Daniel. Yue huffed, "Maybe you have seen me at full introvert, then." Since she had nothing else to say, Yue turned around and walked away. "I'll see you guys back at the room," she ended.

"Do you even know where the room is?" Finnick asked. Yue froze in her tracks and turned around, a pink tint appearing on her cheeks. "Well, it's settled." Finnick grabbed the collar of Yue's jacket and dragged her back to the other two, "You're coming with us."

"Cut it out," Yue scowled, flailing her arms behind her to try and pull off Finnick's arm to no avail.

"Sorry," Finnick replied without shame, "No can do. You can go see Port after we take a small tour."

Yue now was facing an amused Daniel and Sapphire as she was hefted by the collar of her jacket like a dog. "Fine," she huffed while Finnick dropped his hold, "Lead the way."

While they were walking to their next new place, Yue had one hand in the pocket of her jacket, clinging onto a pendant like it was her lifeline. Every time the group of friends would pass someone new by, Yue would eye them with intensity for a split second, sometimes a few more, and then continue on her way. It didn't matter if she was in the middle of a conversation, Yue would drop it and come back like it was nothing out of the ordinary.

Eventually, the conversation naturally came back to Yue. "What's that in your pocket?" Daniel asked, nodding his head in her direction.

Yue look startled for a second before regaining composure. "Oh, nothing really," she answered. Taking the pendant out, she opened her palm, letting the ruby glitter in the lights above them. "Something I got a few days back."

"Why not wear it? It's not like it's going to do any good collecting lint in your pocket."

For a moment, Yue eyed the pendant, looking a bit grim about the bittersweet reminder of her mother. Finally, she clasped it around her neck, stiffening up just slightly when she felt the cold metal touch her skin. "Looks good," Daniel complimented.

Yue shrugged. "Never really been a fan of jewelry," she admitted.

"Why carry it with you, then?" Daniel said with a small huff of amusement.

"I just…" Yue started. Then, the pair passed a girl with bright orange hair, just as Yue again clutched the stone around her neck, looking intently at the passer-by. A second passed, then Yue turned back to her concerned teammate. "It's just a reminder of home," she finally answered.

Daniel narrowed his eyes, peering behind him at the girl Yue was eyeing. "Something wrong?" he inquired, "You looked like you were trying to find someone."

Yue grimaced, not meeting Daniel's eye as she stared ahead of them. "It's complicated," she replied, hands clasped behind her back with her head bowed.

The corner of Daniel's mouth quirked slightly as he surveyed the blue-haired girl. "Semblance complicated or just a long story?"

"Both, I guess," Yue clarified, "My parents wanted me to try and find someone here that…" She sighed, shaking her head, "See? Complicated."

"So, un-complicate things," Daniel offered, "You know who this person is?"

"She's my sister," Yue replied in a small voice.

Daniel blinked rapidly before sputtering, "Whoa, wait, what? You have a sister?"

"Shh," Yue shushed, putting a hand over Daniel's mouth. She looked over towards Sapphire and Finnick who were bickering over who knows what. "Not so loud, will you?"

Daniel ripped her hand away from his face. "You have a sister?" he hissed quietly.

"Apparently," Yue replied, "And I'm trying to find her."

"So, let me get this straight," Daniel clarified, "You're in Beacon, trying to find your long-lost sister, who you have no idea what she looks like or where she could be."

"I know, right?" Yue grumbled, "Thanks, Mom, for the information. The only thing I have to go off for finding her is this." She gently lifted her pendant for a brief moment.

"And how's that going to help?" Daniel asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't know," Yue exclaimed, still keeping her voice low, "Maybe it lights up; maybe my sister has one of her own. It could be anything!"

"Hey, don't sweat it," Daniel assured, throwing an arm over Yue's shoulders. Another soft glare from Yue made him think otherwise as he sheepishly pulled away. "Anyway, is that why you were going to the Professor?"

Yue scoffed lightly. "No- only you and my dad know about this, besides my deadbeat mom. I wanted to talk to Port because he… he gets me."

Daniel nodded. At the same moment he opened his mouth, Sapphire interrupted, "We're here, guys."

Sapphire pushed open an oak door and revealed… an average room, fit for four. The beds were pushed up against the far wall with their desks facing them on the opposite side. Another door in the far corner was slightly open, revealing a dark area, presumably a closet.

"Dibs on the far-right bed," Yue claimed, running over and flopping onto the bed.

"Shoot, where am I supposed to fit my Dust?" Daniel wondered.

"I thought you didn't have a weapon," Finnick reminded, "Why would you need Dust?"

"Hey, just because I don't have a weapon, that doesn't mean I don't use Dust." Daniel pulled out a small white crystal, no bigger than his thumb, out from a pocket on his toolbelt. "Resident Dust expert, at your service."

"Well, just as long as it isn't near my bed," Sapphire put in. She sat on the bed next to Yue's and promptly laid back, spread-eagle.

When Daniel and Finnick took the remaining two beds, Yue hopped up and left the room. A millisecond after the door closed, it opened again with Yue's head peeking through a small crack. "I'm off to see Port," she said. Her head disappeared as her teammates heard her end in a singsong voice, "Bye!"

-xXxX-Sorry for all the Line Breaks-XxXx-

"And then Daniel had the bright idea to try and glide over the entire forest," Yue's story continued, waving her arms around while she kept talking, "So naturally, mine crashed and burned, and of course the pack chased me until I met back up with Daniel." She collapsed backward into her armchair. "And then we all met back up at the ruins. So that was our Initiation."

Professor Port couldn't help but boom out a laugh. Yue's face contorted into a half-hearted scowl. "Hey, I'm here, right?" she questioned, "I got in!"

"Not just in, my dear," Port corrected, "From what Ozpin told us, you four were the second most destructive team, right behind another young prodigy's team."

"Really?" Yue sat up straighter in her chair, "Who wrecked the forest more than us?"

"Team RWBY. According to Ozpin, a young girl skipped two years and became the leader of their team."

"RWBY, huh?" Yue wondered, head facing the ceiling in thought, "I think I remember the girl. Short, red cloak, last team to be formed, right?"

Port shrugged in response as he sat back. "I'm not sure," he admitted, "I only know the details in her career, not appearance." The senior Hunter let out a sigh. "Onto another topic- how is your team?"

"Too invasive," Yue answered quickly.

The professor laughed, "Of course they're too invasive in your book. The only thing you would consider not to be invasive is a book."

"That's not true," Yue shot back, crossing her arms underneath her chest, "There was this one girl on the ride here that wasn't invasive- she was rather nice."

"She was reading a book as well, wasn't she?" Port asked with a small knowing twinkle in his eye. Yue slumped farther into her seat. The man behind the desk sighed out a chuckle, shaking his head. "For someone as unreadable as you, you sure are very predictable, my dear."

"That's not the point," Yue mumbled.

"Back to your team?" Port suggested.

"Hmm?" Yue replied, lost in thought, "Oh, right. So, Daniel's our leader. Sort of cool guy- good sense of humor, a bit dense sometimes, and he's really childish. But, he's already… grown on me."

"That's unexpected," Port remarked. Yue shot her mentor a glare, even though the corner of her mouth twitched into a small smile for a moment. Port motioned to her with his hand. "Go on."

"Well, there's Finnick," Yue went on, "He's my partner. And basically the exact opposite of me. Imagine a regular buff guy with a decently loud mouth." Yue sighed as her head rolled back. "You'd probably like him."

"You might as well," Professor Port commented. Yue raised her head just enough to raise an eyebrow at the gray-haired professor. "Opposites attract, as they say."

"Sure, in books," Yue shot back, her head once again finding the back of her seat, "We get along fine, but I don't see us hanging out like going out into the city anytime soon."

"You don't go into the city, anyway," Port boomed while laughing at his own joke.

"And there's Sapphire," Yue continued with a hint of anger in her voice, "She's definitely the sanest person in our group."

"Even over you?"

"Are you kidding?" Yue blurted, amused, "I make stupid puns and flip personalities in an instant. My favorite friend is a book, besides you- you're my mentor, Professor, that makes you my second favorite person behind Dad-, and my favorite type of music is the type that can make me forget I'm where I currently am. I'm the textbook definition of 'definitely not sane'."

"No, that's a textbook definition of 'introverted', my dear," Port corrected, "Which is another reason why I brought you up to Beacon."

"I thought it was because I was too good," Yue kidded with a cocky grin.

"That too," Port chuckled. He continued on with a more serious expression, "Yue I wanted you to socialize more."

"Not this again," Yue groaned as she sank so low in her armchair, you might've mistaken her as the chair's design, "Please, anything but the 'Socialize More' lecture."

"And yet you've barely taken my advice."

"Hey, I'm trying, okay?" Yue spread out her arms. "It's hard being an introvert."

"Is it really?" Port asked with a slight grin.

"Yes," Yue exclaimed, "You're the most booming person in the world- I'm ninety-nine percent sure you're extroverted to the hardest extent of that meaning. I'm afraid to go out in public, for Pete's sake!"

"Alright, I see your point," Port admitted, "But I will still push for you to go out there. And I think your father would agree with me on that one. If you want some help, I could give you some advice on how to be more known to the world. Why I remember one time-."

"And that's my queue," Yue interrupted before Port could go on a long, drawn-out explanation of an event Yue sometimes didn't even believe took place. She shot out of the chair with newfound energy and made a beeline for the door. "I'll try and remember what you said," she chirped over her shoulder, "About finding something I have in common with other people." With the door opened a crack, Yue looked back with a megawatt grin. "And that means more books. I'll see you in class, Professor!" And with a wave of her fingers and the clicking of the door, she was gone.

Port rubbed his face, the smile still permanently plastered on his face. "How did you survive her, Marvis?" he wondered aloud.

AN: Oh wow, would you look at that- another update! Hey guys, Fireflame here. And there's the next installment of Polar Opposites. If you still haven't guessed who Yue's sister (not twin) is, …I just don't know what to say other than, "Really?"

So, apparently, I got flooded with reviews that I'm gonna have to answer. By one person in particular.

Mr. ThatGreenDooredBookshop: Why YOU DON'T SAY THEY LOOK ALIKE. Sorry, sarcasm really got to me. Yeah, if you know where this is going, tell me. Because I have no freaking clue on what I'm doing by this point- I'm winging the next 2 chapters or so. And I gave you the thumbs-up on the project. Knock yourself out!

And of course, I could never forget River Mountain: Oh yeah, read Wilting Rose. I heard it was a good story (*extremely smug and arrogant face). Still, DFYS. I got so freaking lucky with that name. I thought I would have to chance Finnick's name just so I could fit the name, but apparently, I didn't. Yay!

And those are the reviews!

I have a question for you lot- where should my story go? Do you think I should take a happier path like Will of Steel (amazing story, you should check it out) or "Sisterly Antics: Ruby!", or do you think I should actually try and make a story arc for this like "Shard" or "The Rending Trilogy"? I'll have a poll up with this chapter, but I honestly don't know where this is going. I've got a small path for the story arc version, and I could always just add some comical events every now and again like Sisterly Antics or The Misadventure of Heroes by Ace WolfBlade.

Anyways, enough of my rambling. Talk to you… whenever I get the chance!

Signing out, Flames of Fire.
