"I can't believe the distance between Beacon and Vale is so short that you can travel between it in an evening and still have time to do stuff!" Ruby exclaimed. "The ride over there seemed to take so long, and I was itching for something to do!" Ruby was quickly warming up to her sister, and was now chatting animatedly.

"Well, guess that's what happens when you're a hyper teenage girl, isn't it?" Her sister giggled, covering her mouth with her hand. The two sisters had ditched Yang's possie back at Beacon, and boarded a Bullhead to come back to Vale for the evening. It was now seven P.M, and Ruby was still recovering from her fight earlier that afternoon. Even if she didn't show it, fighting was highly exhausting.

They were going to go shopping, because according to Yang, Ruby's "Suitcase was far too small, the clothes she had on were raggedy, and overall, Yang thought Ruby could make all the boys swoon with the right outfit." Usually, this would've angered somebody, but it Ruby's case, the aforementioned girl completely agreed. She had gotten one new pair of clothes in the White Fang per year, and she had eventually looked forward to the new outfit. It had been something fresh, and once again, she didn't know how much money she really had.

Speaking of money, their first stop, was the bank. "Time to find out how much you CAN get Ruby!" Yang called out. "You see, everything costs money, like clothes, and fo-" She continued in a joking voice, before being cut off by Ruby playfully punching her in the arm.

"I know what money is. I just don't know what a bank is..." She looked down, ashamed for some reason.

"Oh lighten' up Rubes! A bank is where people keep their money." Yang informed her little sister.

Their awkward banter continued, until they got to their first destination, in a line of many. Vale's very own, Lien Vale Bank. It was a regional branch, with many locations throughout the four kingdoms. As they got inside of the said bank, there was only a few people, despite it being just past rush hour. They sat in a ten minute line, before being called over by a young teller, in her mid-twenties.

"Hey there, how are you two? Are you making a Withdrawal or Deposit?" She asked them kindly. (Remember, Yang is 16) Yang pushed Ruby forward, and informed the woman, "My little sister here would like the withdraw some money, she wants to go shopping." Yang smiled. The lady smiled back, before typing on her digital screen.

"Mhmm, may I see your card?" She asked Ruby. Ruby nodded, before taking her Credit Card out of her back pocket. On the way of handing it to the teller, she fumbled it between her hands, bobbling it in the air, the second item to do that today. Eventually, she gave up on trying to catch it and let it fall. It landed straight into the Teller's palm, who looked slightly impressed.

Ruby just looked at the card blankly, before saying, "Planned that." In a monotone voice. This made the two other people there giggle. The teller, whose name tag, as Ruby now read, said Sarah, swiped her card in the machine before gasping in shock, and getting wide eyes.

"Miss Rose, correct?" Sarah asked them. Ruby nodded her head. "Miss, sorry, Lady Rose, you have 192,598 Lien in your account." (1 Lien = 1 USD) Beside her, Yang gasped before nearly fainting. "Ruby!" She whispered frantically. "You didn't tell me you were rich!" Ruby just shook her head.

"I barely even knew I had a bank account..." She muttered.

Sarah still hadn't gotten over her shock, and so Ruby snapped her fingers, bringing her back to reality. "Okay, Miss Rose, I'll just wire up your credit card, and... done!" She exclaimed.

The girls, with Yang unusually pale, left, and began to start their shopping spree.

(At the closest Mall)

North Vale Mall was probably one of the biggest malls in Remnant. It had three floors, a GAP, J. C. Penny, Macy's, and everything in between. (What? Just because they live in a different world doesn't mean they can't have the same shops) Ruby's eyes flickered around excitedly, thinking about all the wonderful clothes she could buy, among other things. Meanwhile, Yang's eyes were on Ruby. "I can see that you don't have much experience doing this, sis. But I think I can help you with that." Then she whisked her sister away, whirling through the shops.

By the time Yang was done, they had been through 27 different shops, and bought stuff at each and every one of them. Among those shops were GAP, Old Navy, and Victoria's Secret. For the last one, Ruby complained that there was no need, and that bras would just restrain her movement. "Nonsense!" Yang had replied. "It'll be fabulous!"

At the end, Ruby looked like a key cover girl for any company. A wide-brimmed, floppy hat, dark sunglasses hung onto her silk, light blue shirt, which was mostly covered by a white blouse, and was wearing silver stockings, matching her eyes. The look was completed by red heels that seemed to be made of some sort of see through material. Of course, under was her matching silk bra and panties.

Yang giggled in excitement, "Oh, I never got to wear anything that good at Dad's house!" She said with exuberance. Ruby's head darted her way. Seeing this, Yang's grin fell into a frown. "Oh, you didn't know... Well, ever since you left, he starting blaming everyone else for everything, including... Mom." Yang's voice choked up on that word. "We weren't the best off, but his Hunter's salary gave us decent perks." A lone tear dripped down Yang's cheek.

Ruby was surprised, but as the time was reaching 10 P.M., and the last Bullhead left at 10:30, they headed to the airspace to make their return trip to Beacon. All the while, Ruby couldn't stop thinking about what her disappearance had done to her family, but by the time they got to Beacon, she was asleep. When she awoke, the only thing on her mind was tomorrow's test.
