Junior has Yang holding him up by the neck with qrow behind her questioning Junior

"Listen! We don't know where she is either!"

"Bullshit."

"I'm serious! Roman is a complete mess!"

Yang scoffs "I doubt it."

Junior glares at her despite his current position "blondie, get your head out of your ass. All he's been doing is crying and looking for her."

Yang rolls her eyes and goes to punch him but her uncle stops her "what do you mean?"

Junior scoffed at his question and responded "you both must be brain-dead if you haven't noticed that he actually cares about that girl."

Yang goes to retort but her uncle interupts with "I figured as much with him crying after he came out of the cargo... but I thought it was our witness exaggerating."

"Ah, so you got a rat giving you info? Well your rat was telling the truth. I have never seen that asshole so crushed. I bet you idiots would enjoy his pain if it had nothing to do with Ruby."

Yangs temper rises a bit more but her uncle puts a hand on her shoulder

"Not a rat- a bystander. Excuse us for doubting a wanted criminal."

"Your niece is a wanted criminal"

"Who said we trusted her?"

"Touche... can you let me down so we can have a civilized conversation?"

Yang hesitated "...fine"

Yang dropped Junior and followed him towards the bar. Junior turns around to face them with a curious expression on his face "What is it you plan to accomplish at the end of this?"

"Isn't it obvious? Bring Ruby home."

Junior scoffed "You two must be really dumb... What if Ruby doesn't want to come home? Even if you manage to find her and drag her back you wouldn't be able to keep her there if she didn't want to be there."

Yang clenched her fist and replied "I'm hoping we can convince her-"

"She won't go anywhere willingly without her husband- why? I have no clue... he's kind of a dick."

"If he is such a dick then why are you friends?"

"...He's a lovable dick."

Yang groaned and Qrow patted her back


Ruby walked along with Roman, laughing at his annoyance for the situation he was in.

"It's not that bad." she gasped out from her laughter

He grunted and glared ahead of him.

"I'm sure that Neo didn't mean to do it!"

He groaned and hoped she would stop

"it's just a funny looking bruise!"

He stopped, looked over to her,and gritted out "She gave me a bruise in the shape of a kitty cat and then named it romeow catdle."

Ruby stopped, bit her lip, and then proceeded to laugh so hard that she fell to the floor

"Ruby...?"

"y...yes Roman?" she asked as she laughed harder

"If you find it so funny, I'm sure I can find Neo and have her give you a bruise in the shape of a dog." he said with an evil grin towards her.

She satup straight on the ground and gasped out "you wouldn't."

He pulled out his scroll from his pocket "wouldn't I?"

She quickly got up and went to tackle him but he moved out of the way and she fell over.

"Hmmm... I wonder what she would name it?"

"Roman, please." she begged from her spot

"Oh! Better yet- why don't we have her give you a bruise in the shape of a baby?" He asked her

"...Why?"

"We'll name it Rubaby!" He cackled

She groaned out and begged for him to put the scroll down.

"Please Roman, I'm on my hands and knees here!"

"Well, I'm sure we could work something out-" He started with a grin

"I'll do anything! Just don't get Neo!" She gasps out, throwing an arm over her forehead to appear like a damsel in distress.

He opened his mouth, prepared to give her a smug remark when they were interupted when the bush next to them moved and a sharp "ouch! why'd you hit me?" came from it.

Ruby looked at the bush in confusion "...Yang?"

A groan and an "oh." sounded from the bush. Roman helped Ruby up and they walked over to the bush. Moving aside the branches they saw Weiss, Blake, and Yang."

"Wh-what are you guys... Were you spying on us?!"

Weiss rolled her eyes and Yang attempted to help the situation "N-no! haha, we were just hanging out in this bush!"

"So not only were you spying on me, but now you're lying to my face? What the heck guys?! even you, Blake?" She asked in an angry and dissapointed tone.

Blake and Yang looked ashamed and Weiss just rolled her eye's again before explaining her reasoning. "We need our leader in top condition, we don't want or need you running off with the next boy you meet."

Ruby looked at her in anger. "You... You don't trust me?"

Weiss's eye's widened "No- I meant-" but was cut off by Ruby

"I can't believe you would think I would just... You know what? I want you all to take time to reflect about what you are doing. If I do run off, it will have been because of things like this!"

Yang and Blake glared at Weiss and she looked down at shame. Ruby was about to continue lecturing them when a hand on her shoulder stopped her.

"Ruby, why don't you hang out with me and Neo for a little bit so everyone can calm down."

Yang was about to stop her from going but a sharp glare from Ruby caused her mouth to snap shut.

"I think that would be a good idea."

Ruby and Roman walked away and the girls watched as she stormed off, pulling the boy she was with by the collar. It was almost amusing as they heard a loud "Damn Red! Let me go before you ruin my dashing clothes!" from him. It would have been if it weren't for what happened before.

"This isn't good."


The older Ruby made her way towards the elevator of beacon tower, quickly moving inside. She went to push the button to bring her to Ozpins office when a sharp voice interuppted with "Hold the door, please!"

She moved her hand to keep it open as Glynda Goodwitch slipped in. She watched as Glynda looked over to thank her for keeping the door open but quickly groaned at who it was.

"Hello Glynda!" she chirped

"Hello Ms. Rose" Glynda responded with gritted teeth

"Mrs. Rose, Please! Or Rust is fine!" Ruby said cheerfully

"I... why are you seeing the headmaster?"

Ruby smiled brightly and responded with "I need some money for clothes- Weiss can't help me because her father is being a grouch."

Glynda sighed and nodded at the explanation

The elevator dinged and they walked out into his office. he greeted Glynda and changed his view over to the Older Ruby

"Ah, Miss Rose! to what do I owe the pleasure?" he asked

"Well, I need some Lien for clothes and food and I was wondering what we could do for that? I would suggest a mission but I'm not sure that would be smart."

Ozpin nodded and opened up his moniter "I can send some Lien to you later if you would give me a little bit."

Ruby nodded, thanked him, and went to leave when she was stopped by Glynda.

"Hold on Mrs. Rose, Ozpin had explained something important to me and I think you should hear it s well."

"Ah, yes. Thank you for reminding me Glynda." He said to her.

"What's up?" Ruby asked with a tilt of her head.

"Well, I've identitfied the problem and it seems that you will be able to go home in about 1 month." he said with a smile

"Thats great! I'm a bit home sick." She said with a grin and went to leave again.

"That's not all." He said, stopping her.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"None of us will remember your visit until the future, when you return."

"..."

"...Mrs. Rose?"

"Are you fucking kidding me?"


Hey! Uh... Long time no see? Its been a while and I have bad news... The updates are still gonna be slow and random. I caught a cold a week ago and ever since then i've had a small breakthrough in creativity. I came up with more ideas for stories I will probably get to eventually and I was to finish writing this chapter. I would like to apologize if I didn't write Torchwick in character but I did the best I could. I have a hard time writing characters in character and a lot of times in my stories i will change up certain aspects of a characters personalities without even noticing. Now onto the reviews!

Mysterioustgexpert, Italian Torchwick, null, and ConnorPerson- Thanks, I felt fit it nicely

merendinoemiliano- Hello! I'm glad you enjoyed that chapter and I hope that you get your old account back. Maybe eventually i will have a better period.

UltimateRwbyShipper- Hello! Despite you deciding to not continue with this story I am happy you gave it a chance. I do wonder why you decided to read a Rosewick story if you are set on WhiteRose but I am grateful you did check it out! Have a good one!

Aim1107- Hello! I got the rest of your review in my DM's. You got it pretty spot on with the whole getting caught spying gimmick... guess I'm predictable? Well, I'll have to change that :) I'm glad that my dumbing down my characters makes sense to you. Obviously Rosewick is and will be end game. :) Have a good one!

MageOnAStick - I'm glad you have decided to stick with this story despite the names and I hope you do enjoy where it goes. Regarding them knowing Neo in volume 2: This story takes place somewhere between the end of volume 1 and the beginning of Volume 2. This means that they know Blake is a faunas but they have not seen Neo, fought Torchwick, and they have not met Neptune. Have a good one!

smacktwinsrule- Hi! I'm glad you like this story! Here is an update! I do still have writers block though :( I am glad you think my story is awesome and I also love Rosewick!

Thank you to everyone who follows, reads, and/or reviews my story. We are at 100 Favs and 162 Follows... I am so happy that you all like my story and I hope I keep entertaining you all with it! Until next time~
