"What?!" Weiss all but yelled at the older team leader; who gave them just about the stupidest explanation ever.

"What do you mean you 'Fell in love'?!"

"Well, I fell in love with my now husband."

the younger Ruby groaned into her hand before looking up at her older self

"That makes no sense, what would me falling in love have to do with the team splitting?"

her older self look at them in confusion, and they watched as her mouth made an o; she looked at them and tried expanding on her explanation

"None of you liked him, and constantly berated me on being with him. eventually it got to be too much and I ran away with him."

Weiss seemed to be done with everything at that point

"You... you ran away from beacon?!" Yang asked in shock

"Yes, but i had no choice in the matter."

Blake watched on as everyone argued about what was learned, she had decided it was time to put the pieces together on her own. She got out a new notebook and titled it 'The Mystery of the Time traveler." so that the others would assume it to be a book and leave it alone.

She overheard more of the argument and decided on using it while everyone was asleep.

"I wouldn't just leave beacon over some boy!" Ruby shouted

"You absolute dolt! what on earth could have even-"

"Both of you shut up! I want to hear older Ruby explain herself!" Yang yelled over the two teammates, and turned towards the woman

"Why did you give everything up, our team, our friendships, and even your dream of being a huntress up, all for some boy?"

The older Ruby frowned at Yang, she looked at the window and sighed before turning back to Yang

"You... none of you would accept it! I felt like i was suffocating from everyone judging him, judging me... judging us!" the older woman explained as she gripped the sheets to her bed a little harder

Yang looked down at her hands, her anger seeming to be rising up- but not at ruby; it was at herself.

"We... we push her away?" Yang asks looking up at her with tears in her red eyes

"Yes... but i never stopped loving and caring about you all if it makes a difference? I think Weiss hates me in my time, but It doesn't matter. all of you are pissed at me in my future. I think It's time for bed."

Everyone is silent, and nobody wants to argue. Ruby wanted to just sleep and try to process it, Weiss being too shocked that for once she couldn't form any sort of sentence, and Yang was just angry at herself. Blake nods and answers for them.

"You're right, we all need rest. It's time for bed guys."

The faunus gets up from her bed and gets changed into her night wear, causing everyone to follow her lead and get ready for bed.

"Goodnight Team RWBY..." the youngest teammate says

"Goodnight." she gets back from the girls


IN THE FUTURE

Junior had gotten a text from Neo, he quickly plucked his phone out of his pocket and read it over

Neo: We have a serious problem, meet up ASAP.

Junior: Can it wait? I have a few workers I need to 'Talk' to.

Neo: No! Roman is freaking the fuck out, get your ass over NOW!

Junior: fine Im getting my coat now calm down woman!

He quickly moved from his spot by the bar and walked over to his twin workers

"I have a personal emergency, you both are in charge until a get back."

they nod and he walks away from them to the exit

'The things I do for them' he thinks to himself as he sighs

He reaches the hideout in minutes, and walks inside. The only thought running through his mind when he see's a crying roman is

'What the fuck.'

He jumped as a light tap hit his shoulder, he turned quickly and his eye's met two multicolored eyes

"Neo? Why is Roman crying on the floor? I've known him for years and this is the first time I have ever seen him like this... It's kind of creepy." Junior said to Neo with a slight shiver

Neo rolled her eyes at him and began signing

'Not sure about the specifics, but Ruby is missing.'

Junior hissed and cringed

"Dear god, this is bad" he said with a shake of his head

'No shit sherlock' Neo signed back with a glare

Junior rubbed his hand down his face and turned his face towards roman

"I need to pray that blondie doesn't find out about this; I'd rather not die anytime soon."

Neo slapped his shoulder and glared before signing out 'Yang isn't the one I'm worrying about right now'

Junior swipped his hand down his face and looked at his devastated friend. He nodded towards Neo, and slowly made his way to Roman

"Hey buddy, how ya doing?" he clapped a hand on Romans back.

no response

"So..." he turned towards Neo with a panicked expression; he mouthed out 'what do i do?!'

Neo shook her head and motioned for him to follow her

"Hey, me and Neo are gonna go talk about getting that girl of yours back." Junior said to Roman

still no response

Junior felt his concern spike up a bit at seeing his friend stare blankly at the floor, seemingly not registering anything

He walked away slowly from Roman, but was stopped when a gloved and clutched onto his shirt. Junior turned around to see Roman looking at him coldly

"If you are going to even attempt to find her then you need me to explain what happened."

Junior let out a breath "There's my favorite hot mess."

Roman stood up and still clutching the glove left behind by his wife, led the others into an office.

"So, now that i've obviously calmed down, I think I can better explain the situation."

"Jesus Roman, I don't think i've ever seen you so serious!" junior interrupted, causing sharp glares from the other two he was in the room with.

"Back to what i was saying before i was rudely interrupted... Ruby had seen a glowing crystal of what we assumed was dust back in the crate and had decided to get a closer look. the next thing i knew there was a loud noise and a bright light and she was gone."

Junior seemed confused, knowing that dust crystals didn't glow unless being used or in certain lighting

He was about to ask about the lighting but stopped himself at the reminder that the crystal had activated

"So, maybe someone there had a semblance that could activate the crystal from far away?" he asked Roman

Roman shook his head "The entire place would have gone up if that was the case..."

Junior looked sad for a moment, he looked up at the other two and softly asked "Are you sure she isn't... dead?"

Neo glared hardly at him but then cast her gaze to the ground while roman choked out a sob

"Listen, We found no sign of a body so I am going to assume she is alive unless otherwise proven" he choked out at his old friend

"I'm sorry man, it just-" Junior began but was cut off by Roman

"If you aren't willing to help then get out of my sight, otherwise, stop assuming my wife is dead."

Junior let out a long sigh and turned towards Roman

"Fine... give me a few days to research what happened, I'll call you with updates as often as I can"

Roman nodded at him and left the room, leaving only Neo and Junior

" I hope we get Ruby back soon... I swear she's the only relatively normal one."

Neo simply nodded and left the room.

It was going to be a long couple of days for Junior


Hey! So... it's kinda been a while? I mean it hasnt even been 2 weeks but... compared to my old upload schedule it has been a while so... oops? Listen, I'm working on this but I'm really busy during the summer AND i have writers block. I carry around a small notebook that i write idea's in while I'm out and about but sometimes I just... don't get ideas.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter... I know it's a mess but hopefully the next one will clean up and sort this mess...

We have now hit 60 Favs and 114 Follows! Holy crap! I swear I am constantly in shock by how many people read and enjoy what I write!

Onto the reviews!

Emiliano733- Okay! Yeah, I tend to skim through chapters sometimes too when I am pressed for time but story I follow updates. The 'Semen CMEN' joke will always be one of my favorites for this story... I mean, I was thinking about what team name Emerald, Mercury, Cinder, and Neo would have and I looked through forums and the WIKI but all i could really come up with that could be a color was CMEN; Which to my knowledge is Cinnamon... And so... there is the team name! I really hope we eventually find out the actual team name and if Neo used her real name :P and I am looking forward to writing our overprotective Bird Mom/Father in the upcoming chapters... though it will probably be much later :( (Qrow Is one of the best characters in my opinion)

zek-xz- Hello! I'm glad you liked the last line and thought the chapter was fun! Although blake hasn't pieced it together yet, she probably will in the next chapter while everyone sleeps :) and you'll have to wait to see what they do about it if they even do anything. Sorry you found Nora weird in the last chapter; I have a hard time writing characters In-character so I am sorry if sometimes they act a little ooc! As for roman... He does change his voice up a bit, He made it higher and gave himself a British accent... Older Ruby pieced it together because she remembered how ridiculously different he could sound from an accent and change of pitch :P sorry I didn't make that clear earlier but I will point it out more later on! as for his appearance... I am going to say that in this specific story his semblance is kind of like Neo and Emeralds combined... It's hard to explain but basically the run down is that he can make people see him a lot differently then how he was before, he is like a trickster with appearance. He can trick everyone around him so not like Emeralds illusions but also like Emeralds illusions? :P Thanks for reading and I am so glad you enjoy it! I agree that it is nice to see the update notification for a story you follow :) I'm glad I can do that with my updates

3- Of course there will be more to this story ;) Thank you! :D

Aim1107- Thanks! Maybe one day I'll take you up on that offer but I am socially awkward so messaging people is always a mess with me LOL. I am so happy that I made you snort at that joke, sadly this has been a pretty serious chapter so you probably won't be laughing anywhere in this one :( Thanks for the good luck and wishes! I hope you keep reading and enjoying :)

Before I leave, I want to let you guys know that I adore it when you leave reviews; It always makes my day and I hope to keep seeing you enjoy my work! I am so incredibly thankful for every person who reads and follows it- even if you don't follow it thank you for even reading it at all! I know it sounds kind of cliche but I'm serious about this. :) Thank You

Until next time! XOXOXO
