-The next day-

Ruby POV:

"It's such a great day! This is perfect for going out to my family's house! What do you want to do first Weiss?" I ask, bouncing up and down on the seats in the airship.

"Well, I think it would be a good idea if we… told your dad that we were together like we are." Yeah, that makes sense.

"I think that's a very good idea." Blake says, interjecting out of nowhere. "I'm planning on telling him that Yang and I are together, so I think you two should tell him that you guys are together. After all, you guys DID y'know… do it." I start blushing, and so does Weiss, both of us remembering that amazing night that we settled it.

"Y-yeah. I agree." I stutter out, still blushing. I grab Weiss's hand and squeeze it. I'm actually very nervous that we are about to both come out of the closet.

"Hey, Ruby. Don't worry. All we need to do is tell your dad. I'm sure that telling him will be really easy, and without and consequences or retaliation. MY dad, however, is the real concern. I don't plan to tell him for a while, though." She says, with a matter-of-fact tone.

"Ok, as long as you think it will go well, then so do I." I say, smiling a my girlfriend.

"Good, now, how close are we?" Weiss asks, squeezing my hand.

"We're actually very close. About three or four minutes away from Patch."

"Good. So, we're that close to actually admitting us to your family. It feels kinda… weird."

"Yeah, it does, but like you said. We can get through it." I say, smiling at her.

"I didn't say that! Stop putting words into my mouth! I may have said something similar, but I didn't say that."

"You might as well had said that. That's how I interpreted it."

"Fine, then I guess to you I said it, now calm down. I think we might be here."

"How can you tell? You've never been to Patch!" I ask, absentmindedly

"We just landed you dolt." She says, flicking me in the forehead.

"Ow, that hurt. I am so paying you back for that later~." I say in a sultry voice, letting her know exactly what I mean by that.

"Oh, you naughty naughty girl! Don't hurt me too badly~." She says back with a sly grin on her face.

"Just you wait. I'll have you screaming by the time that this break is over. Screaming many, many times." I whisper, holding her close to me.

"I can't wait." She whispers back, snuggling her head into my next and kissing my collarbone.

"Ohhh~ you tease." I say, rubbing her head.

"You know it. Now, let's get ready to go tell your dad that we're together, K?"

"Ok. Let's go." I say, swallowing what little bit of doubt that I have and walk up to the door. I knock, and can hear some shuffling behind the door before I'm met at the door by a smiling dad. "Dad!" I say, jumping up and hugging him.

"It's good to see you too Ruby. Where's Yang?" He asks, looking around and only seeing Weiss, Blake and I.

"Here I am!" She yells, jumping out from around the bushes that line the walkway leading up to my house.

"It's great to see you two again. Now, who are these two?" He asks, looking at Blake and Weiss. Blake is the first to step up to talk to dad.

"Hello Mr. Rose. Or is it Xiao Long?" Blake asks.

"It's Mr. Xiao Long, but you can call me Taiyang" He replies almost immediately.

"Ok, well hello Mr. Taiyang. My name is Blake Belladonna, Yang's partner at Beacon and… girlfriend." Blake manages to get the last part out in a rush of words, leaving her and Yang in a blush.

"Hello Blake. I don't know why you are so nervous. I'm not one to judges based on sexuality or anything like that. In fact, Yang has had girlfriends before. I doubt she would tell you that, but she has."

"No." Blake says, with slight irritation in her voice. "She hasn't told me."

"Hey, Blake. Please don't get mad. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to be jealous of them and then go after them looking for fights, but, as I say it to myself now, I can see that it was stupid because you wouldn't do that. I'm sorry."

"You had better be. Weiss, are you going to introduce yourself?" Blake asks, looking at Weiss, making her know exactly what she meant by that.

"Yeah, sure. Hello Mr. Xiao Long, my name is Weiss Schnee, and I am Ruby's partner, and like Blake, but with Ruby and not Yang, girlfriend." Weiss finally says, turning red as well, her pale skin accentuating the fact that she was blushing because of the high contrast.

"Hello Weiss. I wouldn't have thought a Schnee of all people would have fallen for Ruby because of their 'social standing'." He says, making air quotes. "But I suppose that I can't change anything, so if you and Ruby are together and mean it, then its fine. And I wasn't trying to insult you or your family when I said that I wouldn't have thought a Schnee of all people would like her."

"Don't worry Mr. Xiao Long, I don't take any offense. I still haven't told my parents because of the whole 'social standing' thing either." Weiss says, actually making dad laugh with that statement. It's been so long since I last heard him laugh. It sounded good to hear him laugh again.

"It's great to see you two getting along so easily already." I say, smiling and feeling happy knowing that dad accepts her.

"Yep. Now, let's get you guys some dinner, ok? And we have a special guest tonight. I'll tell her that you four are here." Dad says, turning around and going to the kitchen. Her? What does that mean? I can hear him talking to someone before both him and some strange woman that I have never seen before in my life come out of the kitchen.

"Everyone, I want you to know that I started dating again, and this is Catherine. So, I believe proper introductions are in order. Everyone, this is Catherine. Catherine, this is my two daughters Ruby and Yang, along with their partners and girlfriends, Weiss and Blake."

"Girlfriends? You're raising lesbians? Hmm, well that's something I've never had with anyone I've dated. I won't say that it's bad, but it's… different. I've actually never met any lesbians until now." Catherine says, looking at the four of us with a selective eye. I don't know how I feel about this Catherine girl yet. I hope she doesn't hurt dad. He deserves the best because he has suffered through the worst.

"I would prefer that you wouldn't use that word around us." Yang says, getting very defensive over Blake, putting Blake behind her back.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know that you didn't like that term. I won't say it around you anymore."

"Good!" Dad says, clapping his hands. "I'll leave you five to talk and go and finish dinner." He turns around and heads back towards the kitchen, which is far enough away that he won't hear our conversation. As soon as he's out of hearing range, Yang speaks up to Catherine.

"Don't you dare hurt our dad. If you do, I'll hurt you."

"You think I'm going to listen to you, freak? I'm the one dating your dad like a straight girl. Not like any of you dykes." Catherine says, laughing. So those are her true colors. I have made my opinion. I don't like her. Just from that statement, she can burn in hell for all I care. Calling me a freak is fine, but when people call my friends freaks, then I get pissed. Obviously, Yang is getting mad as well because her eyes have changed colors from lilac to blood red. However, she is not the one who speaks next.

"What did you just say to her?" Blake asks, getting around Yang from where she was and stepping up to look Catherine straight in the eyes.

"I said that you are all freaks because of this. I don't know how Taiyang can accept any of you in his house when you are all freaks." Anger has started to seep from all four of us because of this lady. I want to hurt her so badly, but I can't do that with dad around. We have to get her some place secluded so we can beat the shit out of her. Yang is about to speak up, but dad comes out of the kitchen and looks at all of us, smiling.

"Dinner's ready you guys. Come on out of the living room and get yourself some food!"
