Ruby: Yay! It's finally our turn
Weiss: Is that really a good thing? This guy never finishes anything
Blake (she reads a note): Apparently this plot bunny has been on his mind for a while now and had to post it
Yang (dully): Yay, go Konsu our wonderful director this time around
Oscar: Come on Yang I'm sure it won't be that bad
Yang (she points to annoyed and glaring group of Ninja, Shinigami, Sailor Senshi, Detectives, Tamers and their Digimon standing off to the side): Tell that to them. And boy do they have stories to tell, literally
Oscar (nervously): Um, Konsu does not own RWBY, like not at all. Please enjoy this story
Ozpin stared at the little girl in confusion. This child, his child, did not say what he thought she said, right? This was not what he expected when his youngest decided to pull him from his work to talk. Honestly, he thought she wanted to spar. The girl really loved fighting after all.
"You want to what?"
What the girl wanted to do was adorable and concerning at the same time. The reasoning was adorable, because she didn't want her 'daddy' to be alone anymore and would fight by his side against the wicked immortal Salem for as long as he did. The concern came from the simple fact the girl would make her dream a reality. Whatever his child put her mind to, she always did it, no matter how long it took and what she had to do to accomplish it.
"It's not what I want, dad," The girl, Summer (9) gave her dad a wide toothy grin revealing her two front missing teeth. "It's what I'm going to do," Summer placed her hands on her hips and nodded to herself. "Yup! It's decided! I'm going to learn the magic of reincarnation so when I die, I'll come back to life and help you beat your enemy daddy!" said Summer with an obnoxious laugh. Not giving her daddy a chance to respond to her outlandish claim, Summer reached to her side and drew a pitch-black sword that was too big for a girl her size to carry. With strength that her small frame should not have, Summer raised her weapon, Black Rose, with one hand and pointed the tip of her blade at her daddy's neck. "With that out the way, let's train!" Before Summer could go on the attack, an invisible force gripped her by the head and lifted her off the ground.
"That is not how we initiate spars, little sister."
A huff escaped Summer and she crossed her arms, pouting.
"It's how I initiate spars, big sister." Mocked Summer.
A vein pulsated in the blonde's forehead and with a will of her power, she forcefully turned Summer around, so they were staring eye to eye. Silver met green in an intense stare off. Glynda (12) rolled her eyes and then smiled at her glaring sister.
"Have I ever told you how adorable you are when you get all glary with me?" cooed Glynda with a small happy blush.
A look of disgust formed on Summer's face and she gagged obnoxiously.
"Gross! Gross! Gross!"
The young girl tried to free herself from her sister's invisible grasp.
"Let me go you blonde bimbo!"
The invisible grip on Summer's head tighten greatly. The warm happy smile Glynda wore morphed into a menacing grin and her eyes narrowed ever so slightly. The blush vanishing off her face in an instant.
"After you explain to father where you learned about his reincarnation, you and I will be having a pleasant talk outside about where you learned the term bimbo and why you shouldn't say it to me of all people."
Having broke into a cold sweat at the cold and threatening tone in her sister's voice, Summer nodded her head rapidly in response. Not wanting to get in more trouble, Summer spilled her guts.
"I spied on daddy talking to the old icy lady that makes magic snow rabbits and learned everything then." Explained Summer simply.
A long-suffering sigh escaped Glynda at Summer's words. She knew it would have been a good idea to take Summer with her when she went grocery shopping earlier. Oh well, no use crying about it now. However, that did not mean Glynda was going to let this spying thing go.
"What you've done was an invasion of privacy. I have half a mind to smack you on the wrist." Stated Glynda and Summer rubbed her wrist, having felt a ghostly pain running over it. Puffing up in defiance, Summer needed to defend herself and defend herself she did.
"It's not my fault! I wanted cookies and the Snow Witch said she would teach me how to make my own, and, and, she was taking too long so I went to find her and well…" Summer stopped having realized how this was making her look. Throughout her little counter argument, Glynda's face scrunched up and her eyes had narrowed further. "I'm sorry!" shouted Summer. "I, I just want to learn how she made those awesome cookies!" whined Summer in tears.
Honestly, Summer was such a handful. Adorable, but a handful. Deciding to take it easy on the girl, Glynda lightly chopped Summer on the head.
"Don't do it again."
"Okay!"
This was not an answer Glynda wanted to hear and she chopped Summer on the head again. This girl really thought she was so clever to pull one over on her. Words had power and wording had a lot of power. Glynda knew this, and Summer instinctively knew this.
"Okay, what?"
"I won't spy on dad anymore. I promise!"
Satisfied, Glynda turned to her father, wondering how he would handle this situation. For his part, Ozpin was worried. If he handled this wrong, Summer would no doubt run off the first chance she could. He had to prevent that. It would be best to deal with her thirst now before it became troublesome.
"Alright girls. We'll be going on a trip."
Hopefully, this would satisfy the girl and they could continue with their normal family life without any worries.
XxXxXxXxXx
Decades later, Glynda Goodwitch (40) glared at Ruby Rose with a raised eyebrow. This child was reckless, foolish and too damn naïve for her own good. This was only their third meeting. The first being when the girl was born and from this meeting alone, Glynda could say this girl inherited too much of her mother's traits. The small shaky smile the girl gave her was one Summer would show whenever she was in trouble and about to be lectured.
"Ms. Rose, you are the leader of Team RWBY. I expect you to be punctual and responsible as a leader. I will not tolerate lateness. It would be up to you to ensure that your team arrive on time. Not just to class, but your missions as well when you take them. There are consequences to every action, both good and bad. I need you to remember that, Ruby Rose and that goes for you as well, Jaune Arc. Now, take your seats, Team RWBY and JNPR. Ensure this is the last time this happens."
"Yes, mam!"
"Yes, Professor Goodwitch."
"Sure Teach."
Removing her eyes from Ruby to glare at the grinning Yang Xiao Long (17), Glynda shook her head and resumed class. During class, Glynda would find her eyes drifting to Ruby's form every so often. The resemblance was uncanny. The girl was truly a perfect replica of Summer at that age. The girl was a bit of a dunce, but she was smart when she focused. Much like her mother's, Ruby's attention was atrocious. More than once she had to snap her riding crop to get the girl's attention and every time she would jump, wearing a guilty smile. Exactly like Summer. Needing to stop these hurtful observations of her niece, Glynda continued with the lessons and moved on to the sparring portion. It was then when Coco Adel (18) and Velvet Scarlatina (18) entered the class.
"Oh, so these are new bloods," Coco eyed the student from behind her shades, looking unimpressed until her eyes pass over Ruby and Yang. Interest flashed in her eyes. "I was about to say unimpressive but looks like we have two celebrities here." She said smirking.
"Really?" asked Velvet confused.
All eyes were on the older girls and Glynda repressed a sigh at their appearance.
"Ms. Adel, Ms. Scaralatina. Why have you interrupted my class?"
Still smirking, Coco answered shrugging.
"Wanted to see the new bloods. See how they stacked against us. I thought this was about the time you'll start the spars if you had any troublemakers in your class that would make you pause your lessons."
Having Coco in her class for over a year now and being the one who caused the most disturbance in her class during that time, there was no surprise she knew this. Giving her a blank look that made the girl laugh, Glynda rolled her eyes and then shook her head. Without even trying the girl could give her a headache and she did not like it.
"Are you purposing a spar with one of your junior classmates?"
"That's exactly it, Glynda."
"That's Professor Goodwitch, Ms. Adel."
"Oh, right. Sorry, Professor."
Coco did not sound apologetic at all and that irked Glynda a little more. Needing to get this irritating child out of her class and fast, she accepted the proposal. Sure she could throw the girl out or threaten her with detention, but no matter how much trouble the irritating fashionable child got into with her, she always returned. Now, who should she have Ms. Adel spar with.
"I want to face those two, alone." Said Coco pointing at Ruby and Yang.
The sisters were surprised to hear this, but not Glynda. Although she tried to hide it, Coco was a bit of a battle maniac. The girl loved a good fight and enjoyed facing impossible odds. So, it was surprising to hear that she only wished to fight the sisters and not the whole team.
"You do not wish to fight Team RWBY as a whole?" asked Glynda curiously.
"Team RWBY? Is that their team name? Is the Red Rose the leader or the Yellow Dragon?"
Perking up at the names, Yang gave Coco a strange look. How the hell did she know those names? From what she knew, only her Dad and Uncle called them that, and even then, it was rare. Shrugging, Yang thought nothing more of it. The time for fighting was now and best yet, she got to team up with her little sister for her first brawl at school. Not that she said anything, but Ruby felt the same about their team up.
"Yes, Ruby Rose is the leader of Team RWBY," Glynda turned to the seated girls. "Come on down and don't forget your scrolls. We'll be using them to monitor your Aura." The girls nodded and raced down to the ground floor, eager to fight.
Chuckling at the girls, Coco gave the sighing Velvet a smirk.
"Be back in a bit, Vel. Mama Coco is about to school the kiddies."
"Please don't say that, Coco. It sounds so silly."
"I guess I'm a silly kind of girl."
"Just go."
"Alright, geez. Like usual you're always so hard to please."
Laughing at the dark blush lighting Velvet's face, Coco made her way down to the ground below. On her way down, she eyed Ruby and Yang intently, a wide grin spreading across her face. This was going to be so much fun. Hopefully, the girls did not disappoint her. She prayed they were strong and trained diligently. If not, she would have some words with their father and uncle. Weakness did not exist in her family. Once she touched ground, Coco's grin relaxed, and she lowered her glasses slightly to stare at them. Confident silver met startled silver and lavender.
"You have silver eyes too?" questioned Ruby stun. "That's so cool!" The girl raced over to Coco in a flurry of rose petals and peered into her eyes curiously.
Laughing, Coco pushed the excitable girl away.
"I know it's cool, but maybe you should head back with your sister and we can do this. I'm excited to finally be fighting you two."
There it was again. How did she know they were sisters? Yang was now wary of this girl. No one outside of their team, Team JNPR, and maybe the professors should know of their relation. Not that Yang knew, but the look she was giving Coco, was a look she received plenty of times from the girl's biological mother. It was the same cautious stare Raven would give whenever something made her suspicious or worried. This girl was more like the black bird than she thought.
"Really? Oh man. I hope we meet your expectations, um. Who are you?" asked Ruby.
"Coco Adel, second year student. I'm your senior." Answered Coco smirking.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Ruby Rose and this is my big sister, Yang."
Rolling her eyes, Coco knew that, and it was Yang that told her sister this.
"She already knows who we are, Rubes. The question is, how?"
The blonde was glaring at Coco, eyes turning red and Coco was more than happy to explain.
"Juniors Club."
That was all the answer Yang needed and she relaxed, eyes returning to normal. Seeing the girl relax, Coco almost rolled her eyes. Too easy. Raven would have pushed a lot harder. Oh well, it was time to fight. On the reflective surface of the ground, Summer Rose smirked at her daughters and Coco Adel mirrored the smirk.
"Show me how strong you are girls." Said Coco and Summer.
Summer: This is such a strange setting
Coco: I'm not that opposed to it. I at least have an interesting role
Ruby: How are things going to play out?
Yang (she reads the script frowning and mumbles): Oh, this is different. I guess it's a possibility for her to be this way. She never really talks about mom
Ruby: What are you mumbling about Yang?
Yang: You'll find out
Ruby: Tell me! Tell me!
Yang (Grinning broadly at her cute little sister, she shook her head): Nope! (she pops the 'P')
(Watching the sisters with a warm smile, Summer turned to the silent Raven leaning against the wall)
Raven (looks annoyed): I really want no part of this
Summer: Too bad Black Birdy
Glynda: Let's prep for the new showing everyone
