A longer chapter than last time, as promised. Honestly impressed I got this written, given the state I'm in. I don't get sick often, but everything hits me at once when I do. Anyway, enjoy this one.

Ruby sat with Yang, Raven and Qrow. After Neon's interrogation they went to discuss the problem of Taiyang getting involved in their lives again. "So, dad knows that I joined the SDC with Yang?" Ruby asked. "It would seem so." Raven replied as the other two nodded in agreement. "Should we be worried? It's not like he can do much about it. He can't just come and take us." Ruby wondered. "That doesn't mean he won't do something stupid, he's always been an irrational man." Raven respond. "If he tries anything, I'll take him down myself." Yang interjected. "Yeah, he's not a fighter. He couldn't get close." Ruby added. Raven shook her head "Actually, he isn't as much of a pushover as you might think." she said. "What do you mean? I've never seen him fight." Ruby questioned. "Tai used to be a huntsman, that's how we first met him. Raven and I we're huntsmen too." Qrow replied.

Yang and Ruby were both shocked at the revelation. "How come you've never mentioned this before?" asked an irate Yang. Raven sighed "Up until know, it wasn't important. But now that he knows more about you, and now that Ruby's here. It is important." she explained. "Alright, can't say I'm not slightly annoyed that you didn't tell me. But I guess it wasn't relevant. Please tell us more." Yang responded. "There isn't that much to it. Qrow and I went to Vale to be trained as huntsmen, so we could be better fighters. While we were there we were put on a team with Tai and Summer Rose." Raven continued. "So, that's how you knew mom." Ruby said. Raven and Qrow nodded. "Yes, that's it. That's also how Summer met Tai, and in the end it's how the two of you were born." Raven finished.

"Whatever, Tai is only one man. He couldn't take us and even if he did. We could easily just escape him." Yang said. Then a thought struck Ruby "He can't do anything alone, but what if he teams up with Cinder?" Raven looked concerned at Ruby's question "I suppose she could trick him into helping her, or that idiot could be crazy enough to use her to get to you. Luckily, the chances of them even being aware of each other's existence are slim." she said. Yang added "Neither of them know we are here, so even if they are working together. They can't come straight for us." Raven sighed "I'm sure Cinder will come here eventually, Tai might not. But I'm sure Cinder will come knocking."

"I'm afraid Raven's right kiddos, Cinder will come here eventually. But, I think we can make that happen on our own terms. If Emerald is willing to cooperate, we could use her to lure Cinder into a trap." Qrow said. Raven gave a small smile "That will take some planning and it'll be risky. But, if Emerald tells Cinder that she caught you and we were willing to help. Then she may just walk into an ambush. I think Qrow and I need to have a word with Emerald." she said as she stood up. Qrow nodded and joined his sister.

Once the meeting had ended, Raven and Qrow had gone to see Emerald in her cell. Leaving Ruby and Yang alone. "Yang. We haven't really had a chance to just talk, since we first met. I'd really like to get to know you better." Ruby said. Yang smiled at her "How about we do that know then? I want to get to know you better too." she said. "Thanks Yang, but can you ask me something? I'm not sure how to start." Ruby asked. Yang nodded "So, how were things for you when you were growing up? I'm sure we had very different childhoods."

"I don't really remember much about mom, since I was so young when she died. But I know that things were much better when she was around. When it was just me and Tai, I wasn't given much freedom. He wouldn't let me do anything with my friends, I just had to study and do things with him. People didn't want to be friends with me, because of how overprotective he was. I guessed he was just struggling and wanted to keep me safe. After losing Mom, Raven, and you. But no, he was just trying to control me and lying to me about everything. So, I left and got a job as soon as I was old enough. That's pretty much it." Ruby explained. Yang clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles going white "That bastard, I'm sorry about that Rubes." she said. Ruby smiled "Don't apologize for him Yang, you are way better than he is and you didn't do anything wrong."

"Thanks sis, guess I'll tell you about growing up in the tribe." Yang said. Ruby nodded "Yeah, please do."she responded excitedly. "Well, when I was really young. It was pretty ordinary for me, I could be a normal kid. But I started training to fight as I got older, that's how I got so good. Mom may seem intimidating, but she's really great when you get to know her like I do." Yang explained, smiling at the memories. "That's great Yang, I can tell Raven's really nice. She's already treating me like I'm her own daughter, we're so lucky to have her." Ruby responded. Yang grinned at her sister "Well, you are part of the family Rubes. Part of this big crazy family of ours."

"Thanks Yang. So, are you ever going to marry Blake?" Ruby asked. Yang's cheeks reddened slightly and said "Yeah, eventually I guess. Once all this has blown over. What about Ilia and Neo?" Ruby also blushed "Uhh, I… I guess. If three people can even get married, and if they want to. Not yet though." she replied. "I'm not sure about three people getting married. But, it makes sense for you to wait. I mean, you've only been together for a few months." Yang concluded. "Do you think Weiss will find someone?" Ruby asked trying to change the subject. Yang thought for a moment "Well, she isn't a Captain anymore, so there isn't much to stop Neptune anymore. But if she turns him down, then I don't know. I've known her for a long time, but she's never show interest in anybody and I have no idea what she's even in to. She could be Asexual for all I know, we'll just have to see what happens. I think she could really use someone though, since her only surviving family wants to kill her." Ruby nodded"At least she has us, we can take care of her." Yang smiled "You're so sweet Rubes. I'm so glad I found you. Whatever we have to do, please don't change."

"I'll try Yang. Anyway, I can't think of anything else to ask you right now. So, why don't we go and see Weiss?" Ruby suggested. "Sounds like a plan. This was fun though, we should definitely do it again sometime." Yang responded as she got to her feet. "Yeah we should." Ruby said as she got up.

After searching for Weiss for a while, they decided to try her room. They knocked and when she answered her eyes were red from crying. She looked away from them, trying to hide her emotions. "Weiss, it's okay to cry. You can do it in front of us." Yang said. "It's a sign of weakness Yang, I can't be weak." Weiss replied. "You aren't weak, anyone in your position would be the same way. But you aren't alone you know. You have me, Ruby, Blake, the crew, even Raven." Yang responded. "If you need someone to talk to, we're here Weiss. You're like family to us." Ruby added. Weiss looked back at them "Thank you. I guess I was being kind of stupid. Please, come in."

The three of them sat down. "So, I think we already have a pretty good idea. But, what's on your mind Weiss?" Yang asked. Weiss sighed "Well, there's the obvious part, about my family. But, it's not just that. I feel so alone, everyone around me has someone and I don't. What's wrong with me Yang?" The sisters gave her a sympathetic look "There's nothing wrong with you Weiss, you've just been focusing on other things. You'll have no problem finding someone if you're open to it." Yang told her. Ruby nodded in agreement "Yeah Weiss, you're so great. People will be throwing themselves at you, if they know you're available." she added. "Are you sure about that?" Weiss asked. The sisters nodded "Hey Weiss, if you don't mind. I'd like to ask you a personal question." Yang said. "I don't have a problem with that, I need to hear the question before I decided to give any answers though." Weiss replied. "Alright then, what's your sexuality? Like, what kind of people are you into?" Yang asked nervously. Weiss sighed "You mean do I like men, or women, or both?" she asked. Yang nodded. "Well, I haven't thought about it that much. But I'd say I like both, I'm bisexual I guess. Why do you ask?" Weiss answered.

"I was just curious. I've known you for a long time, but I had no idea. I figured since you were talking about being lonely, it would be a good time to ask. It also means that I can maybe help you find someone, or multiple people if you want to be like Ruby." Yang said. Ruby blushes at Yang bringing up her relationship, but she pushed the embarrassment aside and said "I'll help too Weiss. You know, if you want me to." Weiss smiled "Thank you Yang, thank you Ruby. That would be wonderful. I feel like you're sisters to me. As much as Winter." she said. Yang and Ruby smiled back "We feel the same Weiss. As far as we are concerned, you are our sister." Ruby said and Yang nodded in agreement.

Looks like Neptune might have a shot, but who knows. I certainly don't know how things will go for him.
