Here's chapter 29 everyone.


"So how long will it take before I can kiss you?" Yang asked.

Coco rolled her eyes. "Try being patient, blondie. We'll get to that, but later. Today is about seeing Vezel again."

Velvet smiled at that while eating her breakfast. "I still can't believe you got that stove set up yesterday. Mom is gonna have a blast with that."

Weiss was sitting next to Velvet, making sure she was okay to sit in the cafeteria. "Is she the kind to go overboard on cooking? If so, then she has something in common with my own mother." Weiss smiled.

Velvet actually didn't know about that. She took note of Weiss' smile, so she knew talking about it wouldn't be a problem. "Oh, what kind of food does she really like making?"

"Mostly some desserts, like blueberry ice cream and some muffins, but there are other times where she'll make the chef leave the kitchen and cook dinner herself." Weiss explained.

Yang chuckled. "Your mom kicked out the chef? That's awesome."

"Yeah, she likes making Winter and I dinner when she can. I…don't really get to have the food she makes a lot, so when she does cook dinner, I always make sure to take the time to appreciate it." Weiss said, and looked down at her own tray of food, her smile turning into a frown after.

Velvet leaned in and whispered. "Weiss, do you wanna talk about something else? Or do you wanna go back to the room with me and we'll talk there?"

"There's no need for that. Let's try to enjoy the rest of our breakfast." Weiss whispered back.

Nora walked over with a tray of food. "Hey, guys!" She sat down next to Coco. "So, I heard you and Yang are going out now. That is so awesome!"

Coco chuckled and nodded. "We haven't gone on a date yet, but yeah, she made sure to ask me again." Coco noticed Nora was confused by how she said again. "Oh, right. We both agreed to go on a date if Yang asked me in a more…Yang way. It kinda sounds like a jerk thing to do, but she was cool with it."

Weiss spoke up. "Um…so about that stuff…"

"About what stuff, princess?" Yang asked.

Weiss groaned. "Okay, enough with that. It's gotten on my nerves already, so stop it."

"Oh, shoot. Sorry, Weiss. I was just playing off the fact that you're an heiress. I didn't think it piss you off that much." Yang said.

The heiress sighed. "No, it's just…stupid. A princess is the kind of girl that you would see in fairy tales that are just damsels in distress. I'm not like that."

Yang scratched the back of her head. "I didn't mean to make you feel that way. Like I said, it was just the whole being heiress and how you got so much money that you're kinda like a princess."

"Well now that you know why I don't like it, I'd appreciate you to at least try not using that ridiculous nickname. And besides, I don't see you using a nickname for anyone else." Weiss pointed out.

"I haven't gotten a chance to come up with any for the others. Though, now that you mention it, I could come up with something. Give me some time to come up with something, prin…I mean, Weiss." Yang corrected herself.

"You're getting there…Somewhat." Weiss got up from her seat. "Velvet, are you going to stay here a bit longer?"

"No, I'll finish up here and head back to the dorm. Mom already told me she's an hour away about twenty minutes ago." Velvet looked to Coco. "Do you think you could wait for her outside, Coco?"

"You know you don't have to ask. I was planning on it already, Vel." Coco smiled.

Yang spoke up. "Hey, before you throw out your tray, what was it you wanted to talk about, Weiss?"

Weiss completely forgot about wanting to talk to them about her and Velvet's relationship. "U-Uh…I forgot actually. Maybe it'll come to me later."

Yang shrugged. "You know where I'm at if you remember."

Weiss nodded and grabbed her tray. "I'll get your tray when you're done, Velvet. Oh and would you like me to be there to greet your mother as well, or would it be better to wait with you in the dorm?"

Nora giggled. "You spend so much time with Velvet. It's like you're both going out."

"W-What? W-Why would that make you think that?" Weiss questioned, while Velvet was clearly worried about how Weiss would continue to react.

"Hmm? I told you why, Weissy. You spend so much time with her! Ooh! You two should go out like how Coco and Yang are!" Nora exclaimed.

Weiss turned away and blushed. "T-That's not…I'll be back." Weiss ran off with her tray, leaving the others confused.

"Huh, that was weird." Nora noted while eating her food.


Later when Weiss brought Velvet back to her dorm, she opened up the window and looked over at the rabbit Faunus. "The fact that she said that-."

"Weiss, I get why you're a little…tense right now, but don't you think there's nothing to worry about here? Nora only said that we should be together…and she isn't wrong." Velvet said.

Weiss sighed. "I know…but I don't want to feel obligated to tell them because I heard Nora say that. I want to tell them because I feel ready to."

"Are you?" Velvet simply asked.

"W-Well yes, but with your mother coming over, maybe we should wait a little longer to tell her and the others. You know, before she leaves the school." Weiss suggested.

"I don't understand. Why wouldn't we tell her when she gets here? She'll have more time to get to know you." Velvet stated.

"I thought about it…I'm a Schnee, Velvet. And I know what you'll say. A name shouldn't be the reason someone judges a person. I know that more than a lot of people." Weiss sighed. "Look, your mother shouldn't have to think about her daughter dating a Schnee the entire time she's here."

Velvet scoffed. "Come on. That's ridiculous. My mother would never have a problem with me dating you. She cares about what makes me happy…and being with you makes me happy."

Weiss blushed and walked over to Velvet's bed. She took Velvet hand in her own. "How about…we wait at least a few hours? That way she can enjoy the day without having to think about it."

"As long as it just a few hours, since you did say you're ready to tell people." Velvet squeezed Weiss' hand lightly.

The heiress smiled and leaned in to kiss the rabbit Faunus. Velvet did the same and they spent the next few moments like that, though she leaned in a bit more to wrap her arms around Weiss. She was a little surprised by that, but Weiss didn't hate the feeling.

Weiss pulled away though, since she didn't want to get caught before telling the others. "Thank you."

"You never have to thank me for a kiss." Velvet giggled and heard a knock on the door. "Well, I'd get it, but…you know."

Weiss nodded and ran over to open the door, revealing her partner. "Ruby? I didn't think I'd see you here today."

"I heard about Velvet's mom showing up, so I wanted to say hi, but it looks like she isn't here yet." Ruby looked over Weiss' shoulder. "Hey, Velvet."

Velvet waved. "Come on in."

Weiss walked back over to Velvet, and Ruby walked in, closing the door behind her. "You know, for two people who are trying to keep a secret…it's getting a bit more obvious that you're together every day."

Velvet chuckled and Weiss rolled her eyes. "No one is suspicious, Ruby. The only thing that was close was Nora. She suggested that we actually should get together, since we do spend a lot of time with each other. I on the other hand have been doing just fine keeping it a secret…though I was thinking about telling the others soon." Weiss said.

Ruby stretched her arms and looked over at the table, which had the box that held Velvet's camera. "Ooh! I never really got to see the pictures you take. Can I see them?"

"Sure, just let me open it. I…like to make sure one specific photo is kept safe." Velvet responded.

It wasn't hard for Weiss to know what she was talking about, but she didn't want to say anything. "I can get the photo, Velvet. I promise to hand it to you, okay."

Velvet was a little hesitant at first, but she knew she could trust her. "Alright…just please make sure to-."

"I promise." Weiss smiled and walked over to the box. She opened it and looked down at the camera. "Ruby, could you give us a minute? I need to speak with Velvet about something."

"Oh…yeah, okay. Um, I'll make sure no one walks into the room while you're kissing and-." Ruby yelped when Weiss glared at her.

"Ruby! That is not what we're about to do! We're just talking! Now go!" Weiss ordered and Ruby yelped again, opening the door and running a bit away from the room. Weiss sighed and shook her head. "Dolt. I can't believe she would say that."

Velvet giggled. "Well, we were kissing before she knocked."

"I…Oh hush…" Weiss blushed and got the photo Velvet wanted. She walked over and handed the photo to her. "I'm sorry about making this…you know."

Velvet held the photo in her hand and nodded. "I still keep that thought in my mind of what Ruby told me. I look back and I won't cry every time." Velvet lowered the photo onto her lap. "Did I ever tell you about how my dad would find these fun and convoluted ways of making dust fireworks?" Velvet chuckled. "It was so dangerous, but…one night he had them set up in a way…that just made the wait worth it."

Weiss felt like she was about to tear up, since she had two reasons to. "What kind of dust crystals would he use?"

"Wind to make sure the ones that exploded were carried out in a way that made it seem like fireworks. Ice, lightning, and some fire, but the fire was used on his crossbow bolts." Velvet sighed. "I wouldn't mind seeing some fireworks one of these days." Velvet continued looking at the photo.

"Maybe…we can plan a date for a possible fireworks display. I can easily find a schedule for that kind of thing." Weiss offered.

Velvet smiled. "Yeah…I'd like that. Thank-."

"Ah, you said I shouldn't say that, so you don't have to either." Weiss kissed Velvet's cheek. "I should probably go get Ruby. I hope she didn't run off too far now." She walked out the room and looked around, seeing her partner hiding behind around a corner, since her cloak gave her away. "Oh for…Ruby! You can come back now!"

Ruby perked up at that and peeked around the corner, seeing her partner with her arms crossed. "Are you gonna yell at me again?!" She called out.

Weiss rolled her eyes. "No! Now hurry it up before I lock you out!" Weiss walked back in, but was suddenly covered in rose petals when Ruby used her semblance to get back in the room. Weiss groaned and slapped some petals off of her clothes. "You could've just walked in normally."

"Y-You told me to hurry…so I did." Ruby said in a nervous tone.

"I…I have no words for this right now." Weiss sat down on Coco's bed. "Ruby, you could look at Velvet's camera now, but you better be careful with it."

Ruby looked over at Velvet. "A-Are you sure you're okay with me looking through the photos? I don't wanna mess it up."

Velvet nodded. "Bring it to me first, and I'll show you how it works."


"So is Velvet's mom really that cool?" Yang asked.

"I don't know about cool, but she's awesome. Honestly, I feel like she took over the dorm when she visited this one time. She even got Yatsu to sit down and listen." Coco explained while waiting for Vezel to show up.

Yang grunted. "Speaking of him, have you told him about us?"

"Yes, since even though he was acting like a jerk before, he's still my friend. In fact, that's something I wanted to talk to you about. I want you both to get along." Coco noticed the annoyed look on Yang's face. "Hey, I'm not saying be friends. Just try not to hate each other."

"He has no reason to hate me…so I guess I could try dealing with the bullshit he might pull." Yang said.

Coco patted Yang's shoulder and kissed her cheek. "Thank you."

Yang blushed. "O-Oh…"

"I guess it's that easy to make freeze you up. Good to know." Coco looked back at the airships, while Yang blinked a few times at the kiss she received.

Yang shook her head. "Huh. Oh, right…so what were we doing again?"

"Wow, maybe I shouldn't do that too much. You blank out way too hard." Coco said.

"W-What? No, I was just…you know…a little distracted. I remember what we're doing here…waiting on Velvet's mom…yeah." Yang said nervously.

Coco poked Yang's nose. "Try to relax, blondie. And yes, we're waiting for Velvet's mom to show up."

Yang couldn't believe how flustered she was whenever Coco was around her. "Right…um, we never did talk about where we'd go. You know, just us."

"True, but for something like that, I wouldn't worry about the location." Coco said. "We can see the sights while walking around town, and maybe we'll find something we can both enjoy."

"Well, shopping was fun that one time…but maybe we can find a nice spot by a lake or something. We can do that cliché thing where we skip rocks." Yang chuckled.

Coco closed her eyes and nodded with a smile on her face. She opened her eyes and said. "Cliché…I can work with that." She looked over to see another airship landed. "Hmm, is this one it?" She got her answer when she saw Vezel walking out of the airship with a suitcase in hand. "Yup, that's her. Come on, I'll introduce you." Coco took Yang's hand and walked her over. "Vezel!"

Vezel stopped and looked around. She saw Coco waving at her from a distance, causing her to smile and walk over. "Well look what we have here. Hello, Coco. Who's your friend?"

"Hey, Vezel." Coco let go of Yang's hand. "This is Yang, my girlfriend."

Vezel smiled and offered her hand to Yang so she could shake it. "Wow, I didn't know you were dating. It's good to meet you, Yang. I'm Vezel. Velvet's mother."

Yang shook Vezel's hand and nodded. "Coco told me about you and how you're kinda like the mom when you show up at Beacon. Is it true?"

"It depends on if a mom is needed here." Vezel chuckled. "I just like to make sure everything is under control."

"Oh come on, we're not that bad." Coco remarked.

"I'll just have to wait and see." Vezel walked with Coco and Yang to the school. "So, how is she? Has her injuries healed yet?"

"Not completely, but she's been able to walk around a lot more than before." Coco answered.

"That's good…" Vezel took a breath. "After I found out what happened…I just…the memories started setting in."

"I know…but Velvet's gonna be fine, especially since she has this one new friend that you actually spoke to in the hospital." Coco said.

"Oh, I believe I remember her name…It was Weiss, correct?" Vezel asked.

Yang spoke up. "Yup. She's actually one of my teammates. You should see how cute it is when she takes care of your daughter. It's like she became a whole different person."

Vezel smiled at that. "I'll have to thank her then."


"Wow, Velvet. These pictures are so awesome! I didn't know about half of the weapons here." Ruby's eyes were lit up with joy while looking at the pictures.

"Well, we are in a combat school, so there's a lot of weapon variety. And that's just the ones I have from Beacon. Imagine if we ever head to one of the other schools for an event." Velvet said.

Weiss sighed when Ruby cheered at the thought. "Ruby, what is with you and weapons? Yang told me about this and it's started to really show."

"Oh come on! Just look at how crazy and awesome weapons can be! What's not to love?" Ruby questioned.

"We use them to fight Grimm, Ruby, not put them on display at a fashion show." Weiss responded.

"That's not what I meant. I was just saying how great it is for someone to have their weapon and learn to be one with it. Well, Velvet's got a different situation, since she can have so many!" Ruby was giddy with excitement.

"I do have a lot of work that comes with it. Not saying everyone does, but learning the fighting styles aren't always easy." Velvet reminded.

"Right, but you still have such an amazing weapon! I wish I could try out other…wait…Weiss! Let me try using your rapier one day! You can try using Crescent Rose!" Ruby requested.

"Absolutely not!" Weiss protested against the idea.

"Aw, but why?" Ruby whined.

"I don't have to explain why that's a bad idea." Weiss said and heard the door open.

"Mom!" Velvet exclaimed as soon as she saw her mother step through the door with Coco and Yang.

Vezel let go of her suitcase and ran over to hug her daughter. "Sweetie, oh I'm happy to see you're doing better." She pulled away and turned to the heiress. "Wait…Are you Weiss?"

Weiss nodded. "I-It's really nice to meet you…Um..."

"Vezel is fine, dear." Vezel moved over and hugged the heiress, making Weiss tense up a bit, since she wasn't expecting a hug that quickly. "Thank you for taking care of my daughter."

"I-It was no trouble, really. I'm just happy to see her recovery is going well." Weiss felt Vezel pull away.

Vezel nodded and kneeled down to speak with her daughter about some things. Weiss on the other hand was just staring at the two, seeing something she knew a lot about. It was how her own mother would be the one in bed, and she'd be the one to kneel next to her to talk.


I'm so ready to get the more adventurous side of this story going, but for maybe one of two chapters, we'll have Vezel here to learn a bit about her daughter's new friend.

To JJ- Thanks. I was a little worried I didn't write Winter in a believable way, but you guys say I did well on that. And the moment I wrote out Winter saying how bad it might be, I had that thought in mind of if I had tricked anyone with that. Glad you liked the curveball on that one. And the driver, well, I wasn't thinking too much on that, but Weiss did send that license plate at one point, so…you know.

I hoped you all enjoyed chapter 29. Remember, reviews are welcomed, but not required. See you all in chapter 30.
