Hello there! Taiyo here! Did you miss me? Probably not, but that doesn't matter because I'm RWBY trash and will continue writing this AU anyway. You can't stop my terrible impulse writing! Bwahahahahaha! *Clears throat before awkwardly continuing.* Anyway… On with the story!~
Weiss POV
"Everything."
A surprised and alarmed gasp from the girl with the black bow-Blake. An awkward chuckle from the blonde brute-Yang. Stunned silence from the Ice queen.
"Uh… Ruby? That woman, Cinder, was it? Well-Um-How do i put this? She's right. Nobody knows very much about the Cinderella Project." Yang said in a rather undignified manner.
"You're hardly one to talk."
"It's not my fault they don't remember!"
"I know. It's mine."
"Wha-"
"Instead of asking questions that lead us off course, why don't we ask Ruby what she meant by that?" interrupted Weiss.
Ruby smiled. "Come with me and I'll tell you."
Yang gave a nod, while Blake took an uncertain step back.
"Where will you take us?"
"To my house. It's not too far."
"It'll be fine, Blake. It's my house too." Yang said, flashing the darker girl a smile.
Weiss rolled her eyes and followed the girl in red, who had begun walking. A few turns later, they were out in the light again. She turned to the direction they came, but Ruby turned to face a smaller street instead. Yang and Ruby walked side by side, whispering so low Weiss thought even a faunus wouldn't be able to hear. Blake walked carefully at the back of the group. A few minutes later, Ruby stopped in front of a modestly sized cottage, where a basket of food and a note sat at the door step. Ruby picked up the note and basket with ease, tucking the note into her satchel when no one was looking. Ruby opened the door, and the smell of roses wafted gently through the doorway.
"Welcome to my home! Make yourself at home, but meet up in the living room in 5 minutes." Ruby said.
Ruby turned and walked into a room, the click of a lock sounding soon after. Weiss looked around, unsure what to do. Her eye caught on a bookshelf, and she approched it. It seemed perfectly normal until she saw some of the Other books.

Weiss didn't know how to react. Beacon? Ice Queen? RWBY? She knew of Beacon, but as far as she remembered, She did not attend the school.
"Yang, I'm going to read a book from your bookshelves. Is that okay?" She asked, regaining her composure.
"Sure." Yang said lazily from the couch.
Weiss pulled the book entitled Team RWBY At Beacon Ft. The Ice Queen (Weiss) And sat down on the loveseat. She opened the book carefully, but was surprised at what she read.
Entry # 15: I can't fail. It isn't about me anymore. It's about my team. If I fail, the whole team comes down with me. Weiss may not realize that, but it's a heavy burden to carry on your shoulders. Speaking of Weiss, I hope she's okay after what happened in Professor Port's classroom.
Entry #16: Weiss said she was going to be the best teammate ever.I believe in her, even with her prejudice towards the faunus.
Weiss skipped ahead a few pages.
Entry #23: So Blake's a faunus and ran away after revealing her past with the White is angry. I have a feeling we'll find her, though.
Entry #24: That Torchwick guy was operating with the White goodness Penny was there. I don't think she's fully human though. Is that weird? Weiss and Blake made up. Blake has cute kitty ears. The boy Blake was with -Sun, I think - Is nice, but I'm glad team RWBY is back together.
Again, Weiss skipped ahead, the contents of this book shocking her more and more.
Entry # 37: We had a huge food fight in the cafeteiria. Nora sang her 'Queen of the Castle' song. At first, JNPR was winning until I was the last one standing. Well, technically, only Blake and Weiss were down, since Nora threw Yang through the ceiling. It was so much fun, and team JNPR was covered in soda. Even the Ice Queen laughed. Weiss has a nice smile.
Entry # 38:Visitors from other schools are coming for the tournament. Sun's team (SSSN) is here, and I think Weiss has a crush on Neptune. I don't know what she sees in him, but i also don't know what Pyhrra sees in Jaune, so…
Entry #39: Weiss confronted Blake today about her recent detachment. Now, team RWBY is going to take down the White Fang's plans!
Entry #40: Penny's an android, Weiss has the files, and Blake found out that there is some kind of hideout in the southeast quadrant. Also, Roman attacked us with an Atleisain Paladin-290, which I'm not sure how he got his hands on. Sun and Neptune were completely useless, but we got to use our combo attacks. This really short Ice cream colored lady, I think she was an illusionist, helped Roman escape. Yang was really angry.
Entry #41: Blake is still being really Blakey, and she needs to take a break. I really want her to go to the dance, so she can relax for one night at least. Yang says Blake will be going, but I'm not so sure…
Entry #42: Blake came and I was forced to wear those stupid lady stilts. Weiss was really interested in a wilting white rose or tulip. I left as soon as I could, and I managed to run into a criminal. This is so much fun...
Entry #43: I took a trip to Ozpin's office today.I think I managed to discretely alert them of the southeast quadrant thing. We also got Zwei.
Entry #44:We somehow managed to get Ozpin to let us go to the Southeast quadrant for a Search and Destroy mission. Professor-no, Doctor Oobleck was the huntsman we were to follow. He was talking to us about tussles, whatever that means. We also learned that the southeast quadrant had to do with . Wait, doesn't that have to do with underground communities? So it could be- oh no.
Entry #45:I got captured by the White fang, but my team came and saved me. Roman blew up the subway tunnels, causing the Vale breach. Thank goodness that was contained quickly. Yang says the Crazy Ice Cream Lady tried to kill her.
Weiss continued reading about the Breach in shock. None of this matched what she remembered.
Ruby POV
Click. The lock sounded behind her. She looked around the room, her eyes landing on a small silver mirror sitting on the bed. she walked up to it and picked it up gently, resting her thumb on the small red jewel at the top of the handle. A face appeared in the mirror, but it wasn't hers. It was the face of a goddess.
"They sent Her. They sent Her without so much as a check. It's still there."
'They sent Her? And they were with you.'
"Yes. Do you think I should tell them?"
'You don't have a choice. You must tell them. But even I can't stop the consequences. Be careful, Ruby.'
"Of course."
The goddess left the mirror, and Ruby set it back down. Suddenly, it occurred to her that the others could be reading the Books. She panicked before realizing that it would be easier for her to explain if they did. she stood by her door for a few more minutes before unlocking the door and walking into the living room. There, she saw Weiss on the loveseat, staring in shock at Team RWBY at Beacon. Blake was curled up on the couch near Yang, reading Team RWBY's adventures with Yang, who wore an expression of shock. Ruby smiled and pulled out The forgotten savior.The group looked up at Ruby, unsure what to say. Ruby sat next to Weiss and sighed.
"I guess I should start with this." She said, opening the book. "This may take a while."
That's this chapter! The next chapter will be the book/flashback chapter! Yes, I am capitalizing specific words for a reason. That's about it, folks! If you have any questions, just do the thing.
