Cinder and her new parents stop in front of the new house that Cinder will live in. It's in a town near a forest. Its population is very moderate. Sunny and Grey live in a house in a neighbor hood. It has two levels and a baloney. Gray kneels down to her new child, "Well, how do you think of the house, Cinder? And being part of the Vulpes-Iotor family?"

"Ok." Cinder says monotonously. Sunny goes to door and opens it. Cinder walks in and sees the interior of the house. Everything was modern looking. "Wow, so modern. This is definitely the next innovation in real estate."

"Do you know what real estate is?" Sunny ask.

"No, but it's so complicated for my six-year old brain that even people who do real estate have no clue."

"Well, real estate is-"

Cinder goes upstairs and somehow, finds a guest room. "Do everyone in this gods damned island have a guest room!?"

She goes into the room and closes the door, plopping down on the bed, knees up and wraps herself. "I can't believe it." Tears fall from her eyes to the mattress, "I'm actually here. Another house, with two women which both of them don't have a stupid looking, ridiculously long, white cl... cloak."

(SVI)

Sunny look up to the flight, "You think she'll thaw down, Gray?" She says without looking at her.

Gray wraps her arms around Sunny's neck from behind, "Eventually. Let's give her space for now. I'll be in the kitchen." She walks away from her and disappears around a corner, "Who knows, maybe she'll become a good firefighter like you. Without the social skills of a rock."

"You're never gonna let go that I retired from my job as a fireman?"

Gray pops her head out, "Nope!" And goes back.

Going into their lounge room, Sunny turns on the TV and puts on a channel. While it plays in the background, she searches through the shelf, filled to the brim with books of varying sizes. She skips her finger on many spines, finally landing on a book with the spine having the words, 'The Codex of Signs.' She pulls it out, falling down on the couch.

"Now where is the page again?" She flips through the pages, going through many, including a long bright yellow serpent fighting against a bone-like purple lizard, drawings of Faunus with two traits, even more animalistic traits, a hooded figure wielding a staff and fire coming out of her eyes, The Silver Eyes. She moves it to the next page. "There they are." The drawing presenting the page is a woman with light skin, tied down black hair, silver armor and gold embossing, white mini cloak with red accents. The most unique about this woman are her amber eyes.

A sudden noise shocks her, "Ah!"

It's Gray, putting down a plate on their glass table, "Whoa, easy. I heated up some noodles." Sunny stares at it, Gray holds a wooden block, "It's Eastern Mistrali, not the West."

"Oh thank gods." Sunny closes the Codex and takes the block, ripping it apart, making chopsticks and scarfs down the noodles. Gray goes to the shelf and opens the cabinet above, revealing several bottles of wine.

"Celebration?"

"For what?"

"Three months being married?" Gray shrugs with a poor excuse for a smile.

"Later on."

Nightfall comes to the house, Cinder hasn't left the room, lights are all out in the house. She rolls over, having vivid dreams. Sweat falls down and her breathing becomes shaky. Her dreams kills itself and she wakes up with a gasp, "Summer, no!"

She looks around her room and sees something in the corner. Going into her left sleeve, she pulls out a box of matchsticks and takes a match out to strike it against the striker. She gets off the bed and cautiously steps forward. One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, five steps. She can make it a white faced being. It reaches for the match and snuffs out the flame.

She falls down and crawls back, the white faced being steps forward, coming into the moonlight from the window. "Hello again, Cinder."

"Raven."

"Why are you here?" She asks.

"I got adopted. That's why I'm"

"Get out of here."

Cinder looks up to her, "What?"

"This isn't a appropriate environment for your training." Raven says.

"Training?" Cinder returns to her gloomy look as she gets up, "Why?"

"I'll explain to you once you get to Summer's house." She heads to the door, twisting the knob to open it. Cinder follows her downstairs to the lounge room. "Right now, you need Summer to know you're coming. Her house is 600 meters is to the West."

"Can you answer my question?" Cinder asks. Raven doesn't answer as she takes out two wine bottles from the shelf. "I want to know why're you helping me." The older woman goes into the kitchen and puts the bottles on the counter. The ambers begin to appear as Cinder has finally had it and smashes a bottle on the table, "Hey! Answer me!"

Raven, through her eye silts, blinks, "Very assertive, Cinder. Now you're someone I need in my tribe."

"Tribe?"

"Hey, what was that?" A voice calls from upstairs.

Cinder looks to the direction of the voice and hears the air being sliced. She turns back to Raven, only to see no one. She looks at the remaining bottle, "Well, I've committed now." She grabs the neck of the bottle and smashes it. Taking out her matchbox, she pulls a matchstick and strikes it. "This is a really nice house... Eh, I don't care." She throws on the spilled wine and it lights aflame. She opens the front door and slams it. Upon running out, she turns into spirals of ashes, heading west.

"I can't believe you're here." Summer says.

Raven takes off her mask and looks at Summer's cloak, "Hello Summer."

Summer's expression is unusually angry, "Go away."

She goes back into the house and tries to shut the door but Raven stops it by lodging her hand between the door and the frame, "Summer!"

Taiyang walks to the door, "Summer, who is... Raven."

"Summer, I just want to talk!"

"We haven't seen you in 7 years, yet you appear out of nowhere, wanting to talk to us!" Summer tries to force shut the door.

"I don't want to talk to Tai or Qrow, I want to talk to you!" She feels her hand feeling not crushed. Summer looks at her with wary. "Could you close the door when we talk?"

Summer smiles, "Not even a thank you." She steps outside and closes the door. Tai and Qrow looks through the window, Raven glares daggers at them. They go away from the window. "Well, what do you want to-" She sees Raven's mask drop from her hand and feels her face being gripped. Raven was kissing her.

Summer realizes what was happening. She pushes Raven away, understandably shocked. "Raven!"

Raven looks away, feeling shame, "Cinder is coming to the house and I'm going to train her. I'll be making bi-monthly visits and you cannot-"

"Can't tell Tai? Or Yang? Your husband and daughter that you've left? With no reason?"

"Yes and I'll do it again! That was unplanned; me and Qrow didn't go to be Huntsmen-"

"No, you did it to kill Huntsmen!" Summer shouts.

Raven, now reverted to a calm face, picks up her mask and puts it back on, "I wish I had more time to achieve my what I yearn. But the tribe comes first." Raven takes out her sword, Cariad out of Cudd, slicing the air and creating a portal. She goes into it and it disappears as spirals of ashes come around and remakes Cinder.

The young girl looks around and sees her, "Summer!" She changes into spirals for a short burst before coming back and hugging her, "I'm back!"

"I know. I saw the news. That was really, really, really stupid."

Cinder rolls her eyes, "Well, I had to do something."

"You nearly torched a house to the ground."

"They left their wine bottles out."

Summer smiles at a smiling Cinder, "I missed you."

"I was only gone for a few hours."

"And I can think of is this house and everyone in it."

(Cinder Rose)

Quietly opening the door, she squeezes through and closes it. Cinder sees Mercury and Emerald quietly sleeping on the bottom bunk. "Hey guys." She says quietly. Walking to the two, she kisses their foreheads and walks back to her bed and slides into the blankets.

"Cin-Cin?" Emerald woke up. "Is that you?"

"Ssshh. Get some sleep. Tomorrow is the new present."

"Alright. I love you, Cin-Cin."

"I know. Goodnight."

(Author's Note)

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! We're done with the shorts! And now to tell you more of the roadmap I originally had. The next chapter was going to be a trailer of Cindy walking to the cliffside where she was running away but I've decided to add a time skip.

Also, I'll be working for weeks on the eleventh chapter, and... 100 follows on chapter 10? That's weird... Seriously.

Now onto Raven and Summer's scene... I have no shame. Blackrose is my OTP.
