A/N: Guyz, how do you dress describe. I don't know how to dress...

"YAY HOLIDAY!" Ruby jumped down from her bed, energised and ready for their three week long break. Her injuries had healed and she was back on her own bed, fortunately for Blake. Speaking of Blake, she was slowly waking up, stretching and yawning, much like a cat, before rubbing her eyes and feeling a weight on her stomach. She peered down at her stomach and found Zwei, sleeping comfortably on her abdomen.

"ZWEI!" Blake yelled before leaping out of her bed and somehow ending up in Yang's, hiding behind the blonde. Yang rolled her eyes before jumping from her own bed.

"Blake it's been two weeks, he's going to be here for a while you're going to have to get used to him eventually" She said, as-a-matter-of factly.

"Roof roof"

"How long do you think he was sleeping on me?" She asked, the thought making her shudder.

"Probably long enough to make me jealous" Yang muttered, as she stepped into the bathroom. Blake caught most of what she said and she sent a stern look the blonde's way, but she already closed the door.

"Roof! Roof Roof! Roof!" Zwei was barking as he jumped on top of Weiss' bed and ran up and down the length of it. She wasn't there.

"Uh guys. Where's Weiss?"

After the airship landed, Weiss was whisked away by her family driver, Robert, and only her driver. Apparently her father was at a meeting and her mother was 'asked' to go with him. It was less of a business matter and more of a company relations meeting. Which just left Winter, who was apparently at home, waiting for her, her home coming party.

She was currently sitting in the back of her limo, alone. It was quite and the silence only helped to bring her actions to mind. She had just left her team without any notice what so ever. Of course they didn't really need her, they were on break there shouldn't be any missions or classes she had to attend. Even so she couldn't help but feel a little guilty, she did leave them a letter, hopefully Ruby wouldn't miss it, she was sure Blake would find it, but she hoped Ruby would find it first.

The red head was part of the reason why the heiress decided to leave without telling them, she may have been taking the whole, 'promise that you will never leave me', a bit too seriously but Weiss knew Ruby would have had a million and one things that they would never have been able to get done in three weeks, and she knew that the moment she told her silver eyed partner she was leaving, the red head would be guttered and worried. Weiss was beginning to think she had exaggerated her reasoning, but she really didn't want to tell her team face to face that she was going home. They knew enough about her to start asking questions about why she was going home and Weiss didn't like questions.

Her thoughts drifted from her team, to the event's to come. She was about to arrive home where her sister was waiting, her sister that she hadn't seen in two years and spoken to in much longer than that. Weiss was far from nervous.

She had no idea what Winter would say, how she would act. Weiss never gave a reason to her sister as to why she avoided her, but Weiss knew her sister wasn't dumb and she knew how to get her mum to 'spill the beans'. So Winter most likely had a vague idea why Weiss had been avoiding her for all those years. Weiss' parents knew that day had an impact on their oldest daughter however, they weren't exactly sure how much of an impact it had, so whatever Winter got out from her mother, it definitely wouldn't be the full story. So Winter would still have questions and Weiss didn't like questions.

Before she knew it, Weiss' limo was pulling up in front of her house and her heart rate was beginning to increase. She looked up the steps that led from their front courtyard to the front door, took a deep breath and stepped out of the car.

"Why didn't she just tell us?" Yang asked, she had emerged from the bathroom, she wanted to wash her hair but apparently the ice queen decided to leave without telling anyone.

"I don't know" Ruby said softly, reading the note for what had to be the tenth time.

"Well it isn't necessarily that bad, she's just gone home, not like she ran away" Blake offered.

"You mean like you?" Yang teased, awarding herself another glare from the faunas.

"Do I have to take you on a 'walk' again?" Blake threatened. Ruby and Weiss still didn't know what happened to the bumblebee pair that night, they weren't even sure they wanted to know.

"Should I try and call her?" Ruby asked, unsure what to do.

"I think you should just leave her, for now. I'm sure she's fine, if she wants to talk to us she'll call." Blake suggested, looking Ruby in the eye. The leader understood exactly what the faunas meant, maybe the white haired fencer was feeling guilty about leaving and was too embarrassed to tell them face to face. Whatever I was, it certainly put a hold on most of Ruby's plans for the next three weeks.

As she stepped into her house she was greeted by one of their many staff, Sonia.

"Welcome back Miss Schnee, it's been far too long" She approached with a smile.

"Thankyou Sonia, how are you today?" Weiss asked, offering her the same smile.

"I'm fine Miss Schnee, how was your trip?" She asked, following her up to her room. The stairs were right in front of the door, as you stepped in there was a u shaped staircase that led to the second level. Off to the left and right were two living rooms, which opened up to more rooms beyond that. The second level housed the bedrooms and bathrooms, Weiss and Winter to the left, their parents on the right.

"It was fine, how have things here been these past, years?" Weiss continued, moving down the hall toward her room.

"Ah, not much has changed, although Winter had grown quite a lot these past two years" Weiss paused, she had forgotten that her sister was around that age, what if she didn't recognise her? Weiss shook her head, that's ridiculous, she's her sister.

"Oh and where is she?"

"Last I saw she was in her room"

"Did she know I was coming today?" Weiss asked, she thought she would have at least seen her sister by now.

"As far as I know, we all knew you were coming today" Sonia replied.

"Thankyou Sonia. That will be all for now" Weiss commanded. Sonia nodded politely and left the heiress alone to her bedroom. Her bags had already been delivered and they sat neatly at the foot of her bed, all three of them although one held Myrtenaster. She took a deep breath and began unpacking, she found that there were already a few new items of clothing in her closet, her mother must have bought them for her. Something that caught her eye was the beautiful white gown, she took it out of her closest to get a better look at it. It was a beautiful pristine white dress that reached to the floor. The back was bare, coming to a point midway down the back, the front pulled up at the chest but didn't give too much away.

What caught Weiss' attention was the rose print covering the torso area. Weiss gave the roses an incriminating look before moving her attention elsewhere. There was no note attached to it and Weiss began to wonder what the dress was for. Usually when a dress was put in her closet and not in the walk in wardrobe down the hall, it meant she was expected to wear it for an occasion.

"I'm having a party in two weeks" Weiss jumped and quickly spun around.

"Winter! Oh wow you've- you've grown. Wow uh…" Weiss stammered, her sister she hadn't seen in two years was standing in her doorway and she had grown. Her face was still had that unique softness to it, her hair had taken on a more pale ivory colour and she had grown it just a long as Weiss' but she wore it loose, not in a ponytail and stood just shorter than Ruby.

"Well yeah two years is a long time for that" Winter replied.

"Uh yes it is isn't it." There was a bit of an awkward silence between the two siblings, "So this party, what's it for?"

"My birthday"

"Oh." Come to think of it, it was her birthday in two weeks. Some oldest sister she was. Winter's attitude wasn't making this any easier for Weiss, she clearly wasn't very happy and Weiss was beginning to wonder just how much she had damaged their relationship. Well, why wait to try and fix it.

"Winter I'm sorry," Weiss started, "I know I haven't been the best person in the past few years, especially to you and I know you have a slight idea why." Winter remained silent as her older sister tried to come up with an appropriate apology for the past six years.

"And you probably still have questions and I hope when you ask me and can answer them. Three weeks isn't a long time, but I promise I will do everything I can to at least make a difference to our relationship, to try and make up for all those years" Weiss offered sincerely.

She stepped forward to get a better look at her sister and noticed that her eyes were slightly blood shot. "Winter, have you been… crying?" Winter narrowed her eye's as she looked at Winter's reddened eyes. Weiss was overwhelmed. Why was she crying? Was it her, did she do something wrong? Did she hate her?

"Weiss. It's been two years since I have seen you, eight since we have even spoken besides hello's and goodbye's. Just three weeks ago, I get a call telling me you're in hospital, that a man tried to kill you. Six years ago a man tried to kill me and you were in a completely different position to what I was. I was worried for days, couldn't sleep for countless nights because I kept having nightmares"

"Winter I'm sorry I-" Winter held a hand up to stop her sister.

"If I was feeling like that, I couldn't even begin to imagine how you felt six years ago."

"Uhh…" Where was this going?

"Weiss I still haven't forgiven you for all of this, but I'm beginning to understand part of the reason why you did it, I don't agree, but I understand. I do have so many questions and trust me, these three weeks are going to be spent with me a lot of the time. We have a lot of catching up to do."

Weiss was stunned, she blinked a couple of times before asking. "So you don't hate me?" Weiss didn't really care about anything else, as long as Winter didn't hate her she was ok.

"Weiss I never hated you. Never. I hated how you avoided me more than anything else."

"Winter I'm so sorry. I was afraid and worried. I couldn't forgive myself I thought I was going to lose you and I nearly did and all I could do was blame myself. Two weeks ago I nearly lost Ruby like that, but I didn't and I think because of that I can finally stand here and talk to you like this"

"Ruby?"

"Yeah Ruby but she doesn't matter right now-"

"Woah woah hang on" Winter stopped her sister again. "Ruby? Was that the girl I spoke to?" She asked grinning.

Weiss gave her sister a questioning look. "She's my partner, stop cutting me off"

"Your partner? Ooh I wanna hear about this" Winter said excitedly, stepping into the room and dragging her sister over to her bed.

"Winter I'm trying to tell you something important" Weiss complained.

"Weiss. It's okay, you're here now and that's all I care about. We have three weeks don't worry, your my sister and I wanna know what's been happening at Beacon. Tell me about this Ruby girl"

Weiss peered at her sister, wary of the fact that her reasoning can go both ways, she could tell her this after the important stuff, but that was her sister.

"Speaking of Ruby, who picked out my dress?" Weiss asked.

"Ooh, me I did!" Winter replied, "do you like it? Don't tell me you hate it" Winter went from, excited to worried in an instance.

"No no it's beautiful, it's just very suspicious." Weiss replied, looking for the right word and settling with 'suspicious'.

"Uh okay… So tell me about Ruby. Are you her new snow angel?"

A/N: I feel like Winter kinda moved to quickly, like she got over it pretty fast. I mean that's how I feel. Please do review, feedback is welcomed.
