Future Sight
"Wow. This takes me back."
When the ancient ruins had collapsed, Weiss had fully expected to meet a fairly grisly end courtesy of some enormously heavy masonry. Her only regret, other than the whole getting crushed to death thing, was that her team would die with her. At least, that's what she had thought.
Silver eyes that were both very familiar yet somehow different shimmered with amusement, and it took Weiss a few seconds to realise that instead of being crushed under thousands of tonnes of stone, she and the rest of her team were outside the temple, along with four other people. The weirdest part was that the person holding her looked very much like Ruby, even down to the silver eyes, dark hair, and red cloak. But Ruby wasn't taller than her, and she certainly wasn't as well developed as this person was…
Concern filled those silver eyes. "So, are you okay, Weiss?"
How did this person know her name? "Uh… who are you?"
The older woman, who looked to be in her mid-twenties, threw her head back and laughed. "Oh, man, this is so awkward." She tossed a glance out to the side. "It might be easier to understand if you looked over there."
Weiss nodded as the woman put her down. She tried to walk, but she tripped right over a root sticking out of the ground. In an instant, the silver-eyed woman was there to steady her.
"Easy there." The woman smiled. "So, what do you see?"
What Weiss saw made absolutely no sense. Ruby was currently gaping at a woman who Weiss could have sworn looked just like her but older while Yang had been throw over the shoulder of a Faunus who might as well have been Blake's older sister. And speaking of Blake, the Faunus was still being held protectively in the arms of a busty blonde.
"This doesn't make any sense…"
The silver-eyed woman grinned. "Actually, it does. It turns out that the ancients tried to do some very weird things with Dust. Time travel was one of them… only they didn't quite get it right."
"You mean…" Weiss took a slow step back. "You're…"
The woman bowed with extravagant flourish and then reached over to take Weiss's hand. She pressed her lips to Weiss's knuckles. "Ruby Rose-Schnee at your service."
And that was when Weiss fainted.

"What did you do?" Future Weiss growled as she turned her attention from a younger Ruby who was even more adorable than she remembered. "Ruby?"
Future Ruby winced. "Uh… nothing…." Weiss glared. She glared really hard. "Uh… maybe… something." Weiss's glare took on the intensity of a laser. "I might have accidentally told her that we're married in the future."
Yang, Ruby, and Blake all turned to stare.
"Ruby," Future Weiss said. "Please, stop talking." She glanced at Future Yang. "And can you please put Blake down? You're practically groping her."
Future Yang snickered. "Hey, I am not groping her. Besides, we're married in the future…"
Future Weiss threw her hands up in despair. "Everyone, stop talking! Now! Haven't you considered the damage we could do since we're stuck in the past for now?"
Future Blake shrugged. "You do have a point, but if we're stuck here, we're going to have to get into contact with Beacon." She sighed. "Ruby, grab Weiss. Can you teleport all of us to Beacon, or are we going to have to go the long way?"
Future Ruby lifted Weiss into her arms. "I can't get us all the way there in one go, but I should be able to do it if we make more than one jump." She pursed her lips. "At this distance… two jumps should be doable." She noticed the younger version of herself staring at her and smiled. "Relax, kiddo. Weiss is fine."
Ruby nodded slowly and then cried out, "Wait! I can teleport in the future?"

Author's Notes
As always, I do not own RWBY, and I am not making any money off of this.
Ah, Future Team RWBY would be so cool. Anyway, I've got a bit of an announcement to make. I'll be heading overseas for the next month or so, which means that updates may get a bit sporadic since I don't know how much internet access I'll have. I just thought I'd let you know. If you are looking for something else fun and humorous to read, you could always try my original fiction (you can find out more in my profile). I go by L. G. Estrella on Amazon.
As always, I appreciate feedback. Reviews and comments are welcome.
