A/N: I'm back! Finally was able to sign in. It's been a good what, two years? I'm ready to pick this up again at an okay pace. Nothing will be set in stone, it will all be sporadic, but it will be there. Shout out to my old Beta Reader, themetaduck, for reading this almost two years ago. Hit me up if you want!
A week passed since I woke up in the nurse's office, and it was great to be back in the dorm. I missed all of the sights and sounds, and even the annoying squeak that the closet door makes when you open it. I had been laying in the room, all alone, for about an hour now, when the rest of the team came in.
"Hey Ethan!" Yang said.
"Hello!" Weiss said.
"Hey! You're back!" Blake said.
"ETHAN! YOU'RE BACK!" Ruby screamed, and ran towards me. I laughed, and when she got to me, she hugged me. But it wasn't just a hug, it was more or less a choke.
"I..see..you're...happy!" I managed to say.
"Yep!" Ruby cheerfully said.
"You're...kinda...choking...me..." I told her, which made her loosen her grip.
She got up, and I took out my scroll. I started surfing the web, and was looking at stuff that was about me.
"Whatcha looking at?" Yang asked me.
"Just pictures of my old team." I said.
"What team?" Blake asked me from across the room.
"I used to be a pro gamer." I replied, turning off my scroll.
"What game?" Blake asked.
"Knightfall. Come on, what other game would I go pro with?" I told her. Blake giggled, and walked off.
I got up to go grab some food, when I felt something in my pocket. I pulled out a piece of paper with scribbled writing on it.
Long time, No see.
375, Candy Apple Loop,Vale.
3:30, Next Week, Saturday Evening.
I looked up at the clock, and saw the time. It was 11:30, on Saturday. Okay, we got enough time. I thought to myself. Ruby walked over, and asked me what I was thinking about.
"We need to have a team meeting." I said.
"OK, thank you everyone for coming. It's great to see everyone!" Ruby said in to the team, all sitting on the couch.
"Get on with it Ruby, why are we having a meeting?" Weiss asked. I got up, with an answer.
"I called the meeting. I have a little request for ya'll." I said.
"What is it?" Yang asked.
"Good question. So, some random dude has been following me around lately, when he left this on my bike." I said, showing the small piece of paper.
"So, I was wondering if everyone would come with me just in case?"
"Yeah, because one soldier/huntsman in training is not enough." Yang teasingly said.
"I'm in." The best girlfriend ever said.
"Me too." Blake said.
"Yeah,why not." Yang said.
"If I get hurt, you're paying my medical bills." Weiss said jokingly.
I got excited, and put on my Militia mindset.
3:25, Candy Apple Loop
Ruby and I slowly rolled up to the house on my bike,Blake and Yang on Yang's bike, and Weiss in a Taxi. We got out, and regrouped on the driveway. We checked if our radios worked, and if our weapons were loaded.
"Ok, it's two story,great." I said.
"Well, what's the plan?" Ruby asked.
"Classic room clearing. Yang,Blake, you two will clear upstairs, check for weapons,explosives,anything. Ruby,Weiss,and I will check downstairs."
"Got it!" Everyone cheered.
"Operation Unmasked is a go!" I said as we sprinted towards the house.
We open the unlocked door, and started the search. The stairs were right next to the door, so Blake and Yang were gone quickly. Ruby, Weiss, and I continued down the hall, and cleared the first room. We opened it up to find a bathroom. We closed the door, and continued into the front room, where there was a couch facing away from us, and a person sitting there.
"You! Get up! NOW!" I screamed, getting ready for anything.
"You turn around we will kill you!" Ruby threatened.
"Ruby, no. We don't know if he's hostile or friendly yet." I whispered.
"Oops, sorry!" Ruby whispered back.
"I'll take the bet." The man said, turning around.
"CALEB WE COULD OF KILLED YOU RIGHT THERE!" I yelled my brother, which turned out to be the crazy stalker person.
"Grab the others." Ruby told Weiss, which she did just that.
"Nice to meet you! I've heard a lot about you!" Ruby cheerfully said.
"Who's the pretty lady?" Caleb asked.
"My girlfriend. Who you will not flirt with like you did with Zack's. I will hurt you." I told him.
"Well, Zack never was that strong." Caleb chuckled.
"I'm guessing this is the culprit." Yang said, walking into the room.
"Yep. Name's Caleb." Caleb said.
"I missed you bro." I said
"Yeah, I missed you too." Caleb responded. His scroll started ringing, and he left the room to answer the call.
"Wonder who that is." Blake stated.
"I don't know, maybe he has a girlfriend or a wife." Weiss offered. Caleb walked back into the room, and looked disappointed.
"I'm so sorry guys, but I have someone from work coming over, so I need to clean up. Its been nice meeting you guys!" Caleb said
We said our goodbyes, and went to walk out the door.
"Ethan! Come back here." Caleb called to me.
"Sure, whatcha need dude?" I asked.
"I need to ask a quetion. Have mom and dad been visiting you too? Like in dreams I mean."
"Yeah, they have. Why?"
"Just making sure I'm not crazy. Love you bro, come by whenever you feel like it." He told me. I gave him a fistbump, (Mullinos don't hug) and walked out the door.
"I like him." Weiss said as we walked out to the side walk.
"Yea, he's really cool, he's also hot." Yang said
"Oh gosh please don't start crushing on my brother Yang."
"No promises."
We got back on the bikes, and headed home. I was smiling like a maniac. Caleb was back.
