The evening went on; it was already eight and they had finished their meals. Ruby went ahead and paid for their food and offered her hand to Weiss as they walked out. They held hands as Ruby asked Weiss if she felt like taking a stroll around the area. There were many buildings and some stores open, though those were of the adult variety. They walked holding hands still, until they got to a closed toy store. Weiss put her arms around herself as they walked in a comfortable silence. That is, until Ruby broke it again.

"So, I know through your e-mails that you have a daughter and you've mentioned having one. What's her name, if I may know? If not, it's okay! I know how some parents don't want that kind of information given to a stranger," Ruby said while walking with her hands in her dress pockets. She had a white dress with opened roses all over it and a black lace around the waist. Weiss had light blue dress pants, a white shirt with a snowflake print on it, and a cream over shirt on her.

"No, don't worry, I'm okay. Well, like I said before, she's four and her name is Ember. I had her when I was nineteen years old. The father, by some miracle, is coming back into her life tomorrow and no, he and I are far more than over. In fact, we were over back then. He was bi, but turned completely gay after he and Sun truly got to know each other and the rest is history, as they say. I simply work and breathe now for Ember. I just hope Neptune will help out from now on with Ember financially. It would be appreciated."

Ruby listened to Weiss story and while they continued walking, they soon found a bench near the ocean end and sat there. Ruby and Weiss continued talking about everything and nothing, then Ruby asked the question.

"So, did you have fun tonight?" Ruby asked as she turned a bit to look at Weiss. Weiss turned her head to look at her. "Yes, Ruby, I had fun. I had forgotten what it was like on a date." Something that made Ruby smile "So umm… would you mind going out on another date? Something perhaps less formal. How about we go to the movies and sandwiches next time?" Weiss chuckled and agreed. Ruby squealed softly and had a big grin on her face.

Weiss smiled, leaned in and gave Ruby a peck on her cheek; she just couldn't resist her exuberance. Afterwards, they said goodnight and Ruby asked Weiss not to tell Yang of their date. Weiss promised and as she drove back home, she could not shake off the smile on her face. She just couldn't believe it! Not only had she had been on a blind date with someone she just met online, but also a woman and those facts alone where something she would have scoffed at years ago. Now, she only hoped that if Ruby was anything like her sister, she would be a good match for her and Ember.

Ember woke up around eight thirty. She called for her mother and Blake quickly went to check on her. She noticed that it wasn't her mother, but her teacher in her room. The child started sniffling, and Blake quickly took her in her arms and rocked her back and forth to calm her. Once calmed, she explained that her mom was out with someone special and that she would be back soon. Ember calmed down and decided to cling to Blake all night after that. When Weiss came home, she found Yang asleep on the couch with her head on the back of it, snoring softly. Blake leaned into Yang, sleeping with Ember in between the two. Weiss smiled and went up to Blake to wake her up softly as she took Ember in her arms, ready to put her back in bed.

"Hey, sorry we fell asleep, forgive us," Blake said, as Yang stretched and cleaned up her drool. Weiss told them it was no real issue. She put Ember to bed and came to talk with the other two before they left. She said she had a nice evening and not much detail on her date, only that it was someone she met online and decided to meet up in person. Yang whistled, and Blake listened, though she was never sure how those kinds of meetings went since she had never done them. But she was glad it had gone well. After they said goodnight and left, Weiss was surprised to see Ruby on chat.

Crescent Rose: Hey, so I hope you got home safely. I had a wonderful time tonight.

Weiss smiled and decided to get dressed into a night gown and type up with Ruby.

Myrtenaster: Hey! I got home safely, thank you. I hope you did too. Yes, I had a lovely time tonight, thank you.

Crescent Rose: I'm glad to hear! And yes, I got home safely too. I wasn't too far from where we were at, actually.

Myrtenaster: Well that's good! I came home and found the babysitters asleep with my daughter in between them. I should have taken a picture with my scroll, but I had to put her back in bed, so I didn't get the opportunity.

Crescent Rose: Awe that's so cute! I'm sorry you couldn't take a picture either. I'm glad all in all it has gone well tonight. Btw, I wrote a new Love Live story! I just posted the next chapter, you should check it out *smiley face*

Myrtenaster: Hmmm, I will in a bit. Hey, I was wondering, for our next date, can it be Friday in the afternoon? I think I can squeeze Ember in day care until five.

Crescent Rose: I'm fine with that! Actually, I shouldn't have any other meetings with the faculty, so I should be able to meet you around 3pm. Does that sound okay? There's a viewing of Wonder Woman at 3:15.

Myrtenaster: That sounds good! I'll make the arrangements necessary for this to happen. Thank you for your understanding. I know it's difficult.

Crescent Rose: Oh, please. It's okay, no need to worry! Take care of your daughter first. Really, it's okay. By the way, my number is 345-6950.

Myrtenaster: Oh, right thanks! That way we can call each other if we need to. Mine is 723-1415.

Crescent Rose: Got it, and no worries. We will meet around two thirty. I think all will be well. Anyways, I'll await your comment on the new story! Hope to see you soon, goodnight.

Myrtenaster: Goodnight and I shall.

With that, Weiss turned off the chat room and went to find the story Ruby had talked about. She figured it was the same one she had started reading before and sure enough it was. But this time, it had elements of their date. Weiss wondered how on earth Ruby could write so fast, but it seemed half of it was made up. It looked like she had started it before and just added a few new things that interlaced with what had happened on their actual date. This time, Eli was Ruby and Nozomi was herself. She did quite enjoy this new chapter and she did leave a comment saying so and that some things like the bread fight were refreshing. All in all, she did enjoy this new chapter. She wondered now if Ruby would be writing their whole time together in this story. But for now, she shut down her laptop and went to bed. Tomorrow would be a big day, with Neptune showing up for the first time in a long time to meet with his daughter.
