I do not own RWBY...

Wow! Over 100 favs! Thank you! I love you guys! =)

Weiss Schnee sat on her bed studying for an upcoming test. Studying on the bed is not all that comfortable to the heiress; she is only sitting there for one reason at that was because Ruby Rose was napping with her head on the heiress' lap. The hooded girl has taken up the habit of sleeping on Weiss' lap whenever she gets the chance. It aggravates Weiss in certain situations, like when she's trying to study, but she allows the younger girl to sleep on her lap anyway. Even if she doesn't, Ruby would just use Puppy Eyes on her. It's super effective!

However, this time around, she needs to try to get Ruby to study. Weiss started to poke Ruby's cheek causing Ruby to stir. After hearing the groan from the previously sleeping girl, she said, "Ruby, I really think you should get up and study for the test."

"Aww, but Weiss!" whined Ruby. "Let me rest for five more minutes."

"Ruby—"

"Besides, I already did my studying."

Weiss raised an eyebrow skeptically. "Oh yeah? What was the name of the settler who attempted to colonize a city halfway between Vale and Vacuo?" There was no reply from her girlfriend. "Ruby, you need to study."

"Come on, Weiss. Let her keep sleeping on your lap," said Yang. The blonde was hanging over the side of her bunk, looking at her sister sleeping with her girlfriend. "Besides, you two look really cute."

The white haired girl raised her hands in defeat. "Fine. Just don't come crying to me when she fails."

Yang crossed her arms. "You know, a good girlfriend would let her girlfriend look off of her test."

"And a great girlfriend will have her girlfriend study so she knows this stuff."

The blond rolled back onto her bed. "Sorry, Ruby. Arguing with her is a lost cause."

A sudden rumbling sound caught Weiss' attention, stopping her from scolding her girlfriend any further. Weiss picked up the source of the rumbling, her scroll. She did not recognize the number, but decided to answer anyway. Opening her scroll, she answered, "This is Weiss Schnee."

"Hello, my darling sister," replied a feminine voice.

"Winter," Weiss breathed out quietly. "Umm, hold on a second."

Weiss shook the girl sleeping on her lap. "Ruby, can you get off please? I need to step outside for a minute."

Whining, Ruby sat up. "Alright, Weiss."

Freed from Ruby's grasp, Weiss stepped out into the hallway. "That wasn't your number that showed up on my scroll," she stated.

"I had a feeling that you wouldn't answer if I had called through my phone, so I borrowed a phone off of one of my maids. Lovely woman."

Weiss exhaled nervously. For years, she had always felt a bit awkward, to say the least, around her older sister, but now the two were conversing now, so she might as well humor her now. "What do you want, Winter?"

"Who's Ruby?" asked Winter curiously.

"She's uh… my friend." Weiss replied nervously, realizing that Winter had heard everything when she pleaded Ruby to get off of her lap. She is not sure how her family would react to her dating a girl. Actually, she cared more about what her sister would think more than her father.

"A friend that sounds like she's laying down on you?" Oh, crap! How could she tell?

"What do you want, Winter?" asked Weiss, nearly squeaking out the answer. She heard a chuckle.

"Well, I hear that Beacon Academy has a week-long holiday coming up soon, and seeing how it's been years since I've seen my little sister, not to mention the fact that you left for Beacon without saying goodbye, I was hoping that you would come visit me at my place during your vacation."

Weiss nearly dropped her phone. "You want me to come visit you?" she asked surprised.

"Not just you. I was hoping you could also bring your team as well. I would really like to meet them all."

"Uhh, I don't know, Winter."

"Look, I don't expect you to come over, but I miss my sister. Please think about it. Call me back when you decide."

Weiss could hear the line cut off. Closing her phone, she simply stood there. She missed her sister too, but after an incident many years ago she still can't bring herself to look at her sister. Entering the dorm, she sat back down on her bed dropping her head. Ruby approached her girlfriend slowly and asked, "What's wrong, Weiss?"

Sighing, she replied, "That was my older sister on my phone."

Yang shot up from her bed. Both her and her sister asked simultaneously, "You have an older sister?"

Blake stated, "Her name is Winter Schnee. The Schnee family is well known around the world. You two would have known that if you did you're homework."

Weiss said with an annoyed tone, "I don't like how information about my family is easily accessed by most of the world."

Jumping off her bed and sitting down in Weiss', Yang got her face really close to her teammate. "So what did your sister have to say, Weiss?"

"Yeah, Weiss, tell us!" exclaimed Ruby.

A moment of hesitation. "She invited me to come stay with her at her place during the break, and she was hoping I could bring all of you with me."

Ruby said energetically, "I would like to go and meet your sister, Weiss!"

Yang added, "Plus the chance to stay at a big fancy house! Count me in!"

Well, that does it. At this point, Weiss has no choice but to accept her sister's invitation. Looking at Blake, she noticed that the cat faunus had a look of uncertainty. She's not surprised. Even though Weiss is her friend, Blake would probably be nervous about meeting another member of the Schnee family. "What do you think, Blake?" asked Weiss.

Blake groaned quietly. "I don't know, Weiss," she responded. "You and I had a rough start, especially when you learned that I am a faunus, but I have no idea how your sister would react."

"I honestly don't know how she'll react either, however I think that out of my entire family it's my father is the only one you'd want to be really careful of."

"What makes you say that?"

"Winter hasn't never seen eye-to-eye with our father. Actually, there have been several times where I could hear the two of them going at each others' throats late at night. And besides the fact that she has a stern appearance, she's actually a very nice person. However, I still don't know how she feels about faunus." Or how she would feel about her little sister dating another girl.

Ruby said hopefully, "Well, Blake always wear that bow that covers her ears, so Winter won't easily find out if Blake is a faunus, and if she does she'll hopefully have had enough time to get to know her that the fact that she is a faunus wouldn't bother her."

Yang commented, "That is true. What do you say, Blake? Will you come along?"

Hey, hey, hey! Weiss hasn't even agreed that they would be going, and here are her girlfriend and said girlfriend's sister talking about going like it is a sure thing. Weiss could feel herself getting hot, nervous about the thought of seeing her older sister. She would really like to shout out that she does not want to go visit her sister, but then her teammates would harass her for the reason which she is not ready to share yet. She really is trapped between a rock and a hard place. She looked over Blake, who was mulling over the argument that the energetic sisters have presented to her; deep down she was hoping that Blake would decline so she would have a valid reason not to visit her sister.

"Alright, I'll go," replied Blake. Weiss nearly fainted; now she is screwed. "If I could befriend the Ice Queen over there, I think I can befriend her nicer sister. Besides, if I can get on the Schnee family's good side, it could help bridge the gap between humans and faunus."

Yang gave her a thumbs up. "Yeah! Way to think of the positives, Blake!"

Weiss sighed. "Alright. I'll call her tomorrow to let her know that we'll be coming."

Ruby punched her fist into the air. "Alright! We're going to visit Weiss' sister!"

Classes ended rather quickly for the Schnee heiress; she wished it had lasted longer. Leaving the building, she found herself a secluded area in the courtyard. She opened her scroll, but she thumb tried to resist dialing the number. Her sister has forgiven her all of those years ago, but Weiss still has not been able to forgive herself for the incident. That's why it's hard for her to bring herself to even contact Winter. After a minute of fighting her thumb's willpower, she dialed her sister's phone. Waiting for a response while listening to the ring was killing Weiss. She would like to hurry up and get it over with, like ripping off a band-aid.

"Hello?" answered Winter on the other end.

"Hey, Winter," replied Weiss.

"Hey, Weiss," greeted her sister with a hint of excitement. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"

"I thought about what you said last night, and after discussing it with my team, I have decided to come visit you with the rest of Team RWBY during the break." More like Ruby, Blake, and Yang decided to go and indirectly forced her to agree.

"That's great, Weiss! I'll have a private airship be there by the time classes end on the last day before the break. I look forward to seeing you and meeting your team."

"I look forward to seeing you too, Winter," said Weiss timidly.

"Well, I got to go now. I have some business to take care of. Goodbye, Weiss."

"Goodbye, Winter." She hung up her phone.

Leaning back against a tree, she decided to try to find a silver lining. Maybe this trip won't be so bad after all. Maybe she'll be able to forgive herself after at least nearly half a decade. But she could still feel butterflies fluttering about in her stomach. The thought was still nerve racking though.

The girls of Team Rwby approached Beacon's airstrip, carrying suitcases full of necessities with them. Ruby and Yang were excited, Blake appeared impartial as always, and Weiss, even though she didn't show it, was completely on edge. They all watched as an airship appeared from the distant, gradually appearing to increase in size as it got closer, and gracefully landing on the platform before them. The doors opened up, and several stewards exited the ship with one getting close and bowing. "Miss Schnee, we are ready to depart when you are, and we can load those bags for you."

The other handymen grabbed all of their suitcases and started to load them into the airship. Yang and Ruby expressed excitement about being able to experience a luxurious life over the next week. "Thank you. We're ready to go now."

"Very good, Milady."

The handyman led the group inside, and in moments the airship took off. "We should arrive at the manor by tomorrow morning. In the meantime, we have four bedrooms set up for you to sleep in tonight. We'll also have dinner brought out within a couple of ours. Make yourselves at home." Having told them about the situation, he left the room.

Ruby said, "I don't think we'll be needing to use all of those bedrooms. I'm more than happy to share a room with Weiss." She pulled her girlfriend into a huge bear hug.

"Umm, actually, Ruby, I think it'd be better if we stayed in separate rooms."

Blake and Yang were shocked, and Ruby pulled away, appearing hurt as she looked into Weiss' eyes. "But why?" she pouted.

"I come from a prestigious family, and even though my sister is a nice woman, I don't know how she would react to my dating a girl. A Schnee has to keep an image."

"But if we want to spend our life together, won't she find out someday anyway?"

"I know, but I just prefer if she doesn't find out right now." It hurt Weiss just to say that, and it obviously hurt Ruby more to hear that.

She looked away in defeat. "Alright, Weiss. If that is what you want, I'll make it look like we're just friends."

Weiss pulled her into a comforting hug. "Thank you, Ruby. I love you."

Ruby hugged back. "I love you too."
