Part 3
Pyrrha realized she had said goodnight too soon.
She was sitting inside a pitch-black room. Still feeling sleepy and still in her nightclothes, the Invisible Girl rubbed her drowsy eyelids and gently slapped her cheeks to be fully awake.
There was an emergency group meeting, so she heard. Three knocks on team JNPR's door and she awoke from a good slumber. She recalled trying to get out of bed to answer the door but Nora's "What's up, Yang?" already beat her to it.
A brief glance to the clock told her it was still midnight. She would take that as a cue to go back to bed. Pyrrha did plan to do that, only for Nora to grab her by the collar and drag to an unknown location in the dorm.
Being a heavy sleeper was not something one could expect from Pyrrha Nikos. It was a habit she simply could not control. Thank goodness she had Nora's natural hyper-enthusiasm and Ren, who always woke up the earliest, to act as an alarm every morning. Sometime, there was Jaune and he tent to wake her up with a tray of breakfast ready on her desk.
Team JNPR was such a lovely fami…ly…z.z.z..zzz….Oh! Silly her, she dozed off again.
"I prepared some hot towels." Ren gave her one as he took the seat next to her.
"Thank you."
Pyrrha wiped the tiredness off her mind with it. The warmth and dampness of hot water really hit the spot.
"Here, Nora." A glance to his side, Nora had already occupied the spot.
"Thanks, Renny!"
Someone lit a candle and placed it on the empty table in front of them. Pyrrha noticed Blake's ambers shone in the dark, one arm clad in the long sleeve of kimono retracted and back to the pages of her book. It sounded like the candle was there to create the mood for her reading.
"You're all here. Very good." She spoke, carefully marked the page before closing it. "Let's us begin the meeting. What you see and hear shall not leave this room."
Pop!
Everyone squinted their eyes as the hanging lamp on the ceiling turned on. Yang, in short pant and orange tank top, was standing next to the switch. Lilacs twitched in mild annoyance.
"Blake, put away the candle and your romcom series. We're not acting like some sort of secret organization and I'm not in the mood to see you roleplaying a character in one of the books."
Pyrrha watched Blake's cheeks turned red. Without objection, she blew the flickering fire on the candle and kept the book on her laps.
"Just to be clear, I am not doing a roleplay."
"Right. Your character is too stoic and quiet to hold a meeting, Blakey."
"Um. What exactly is happening, guys?" Pyrrha voiced her thought.
"We are having an emergency regarding matters relate to my partner, Pyrrha." Weiss answered. She crossed her arms in the elegant nightgown. "Yang is worried about Ruby."
Ruby? Talk about the team leader of RWBY, Pyrrha scanned around the room. Her petite friend in red cloak wasn't anywhere in sight.
"She is not here?"
"She's in her bed, Pyrrha. I want to call this meeting in secret, Ruby doesn't have to know about it."
"Why?"
Yang let out a heavy sigh. Beautiful golden blocks had bed hairs sticking out and she didn't bother to think about those. She sat in her chair, holding her head. Anxiety showed on her face. This matter she wanted to talk with everyone must had been very serious.
"It's about Vomit Boy."
"Oh." Pyrrha simply said.
Ruby and Jaune. The situation that occurred this afternoon. Now she had the full picture of what led to this. It was not really that surprising.
"Ruby really cares about him, you guys saw that."
"Well, I can say that Ruby is not entirely discreet about her feeling toward our leader." Ren spoke up. "Her actions perfectly described the nature of emotions she has for Jaune."
Yes. They had already known about it for a long time.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Nora added with a cheeky smile.
"It is! But…..but!" Couldn't find the word, Yang groaned into her palms. "Don't get me wrong guys. I'm one hundred percent okay and supportive with Ruby being together-together with Vomit Boy. But what she intends to do to help him and…..and the poison…and her innocent. Everything about my adorable baby sis is at stake!"
Ruby's intention. She wanted to do that through…..hm. What was the word again?
"Because she wants to rub him?"
"Yes! That! It's the rubbing! You saw that, P-Money!"
"So, you're worrying sick about Ruby because she might end up no longer an adorable innocent child due to her wanting to rub Fearless Leader?"
Yang nodded. Lilacs turned watery in the fear of her baby sis went beyond the innocence of youth.
"How does that even work?" Nora lazily laid down on the table while keeping her gaze at the blonde. "I mean it is just rubbing."
"Do you not realize how dirty that sounds when someone says they want to rub somebody else?" The heiress scoffed. All eyes directed at her, she flinched. "W-What?"
"You used the word dirty." Pyrrha muttered. She was just as shock as everyone else. It was difficult to believe. "And rub."
"Well yes, I did." Weiss began to nervous at the giving stares. "W-What's the matter with you all? I…..I didn't use it in the wrong way, did I? I checked the dictionary!"
"Normally, you would use other words such as filth or in this case, it maybe lecherous." Blake explained. "Or indecent."
"Didn't expect you to look it up, Weiss-cream. How was it?"
Yang was curious. No, everyone was curious.
"Hey! I know the meaning of those terms. I can use the common words of your dialect as well! And why am I becoming the topic of discussion!? This is Ruby we are talking about!"
"Right, where were we?" She snapped a finger. "Oh! The rubbing!"
"In another words." Pyrrha continued the topic. "You are afraid things might go down the wrong turn since Ruby keeps trying to give Jaune a rubbing and she doesn't want to give up on the idea."
"Yup. And it's not that she doesn't want to give up, she never wants to. Never is the key word. You don't underestimate a Rose's conviction." The atmosphere went grim as Yang didn't pop the p. It showed how graved the circumstance to her. "That's the reason why I gathered everyone here."
The chair moved, she stood up and pulled out a whiteboard in the corner of the room. Yang flicked the cap of a marker pen with her thumb and began to write something on the white flat surface. She threw the pen and dramatically slammed her hand on the board so hard it nearly flipped.
"I hereby announce the plan for Operation: Protect Ruby's Innocent!"
Pyrrha, along with her teammates, stared blankly at one big line of yellow words.
"Pardon me, Yang. But I don't see your plan."
"No, Blake. I have a plan. Here! Look here! I wrote the plan."
There was the word, Yang was pointing at it. She underlined the term to give an emphasis for visual effect. The rest was pure white, empty space.
"Excuse me. Where is the rest of the content?" Weiss raised the same question they were wondering.
"I couldn't think of one so I'm asking your opinions."
A collective of groans echoed. Another bad joke even though it was not intentional. The worst thing was Yang didn't seem to aware of what she did. The talent of cracking unlaughable jokes had already been in her blood.
"Come on, guys! I asked Weiss and Blake for help and it's still not enough! I'm running out of option and I need your help! I spent everything in the swear jar to buy sweets for Ruby! The chocolate chips from Weiss is the backup plan for now!" She flinched. Words trailed off for a moment. "And uh, don't tell Ruby I used the swear jar."
"Pfft. Nah, I'm sure Ruby is happy to know you used all the liens to buy her favorite food. Call it a surprise."
"That's not the point I'm making, Nora. This big sis needs to give Ruby a distraction. I got nothing on my hands now!"
"You still have Bumblebee."
"What does Bumblebee have anything to do with this?"
A wicked grin gradually crept onto Nora's lip. Yang frowned, then gasped in horror, clutching her chest as she understood the intention behind that expression.
"I am not selling my bike!"
"Oh. But guess what, I want those wheels. My Magnhild has been hungry for a new upgrade. Imagining there are two motorcycle wheels attached to my hammer. I grip the handle, step on the hammerhead, the wheels move and I ride off to the morning sun. How awesome would that be!"
"Ren, don't let her go near my bike!"
"It won't happen, I assure you."
"You guys are no fun." She gave them a boo.
Weiss breathed a sigh. Pyrrha couldn't help finding herself softly let out a giggle. For an urgent meeting, there seemed to be lots of unnecessary talks.
"Well, if you want a plan. Where should we start?" She raised a question, continued where they left off.
"For starter, we have cookies to buy some time. But those are temporary, it's simply not enough." The heiress stated. "If Ruby wants to visit Jaune, one of us needs to be there to supervise her."
"That sounds annoying." Nora rolled her eyes. It did sound like that. "Is this happening because we mentioned the little junior?"
An elbow hit her side. She turned to Pyrrha with a questioning look.
"What? If that didn't spark up her curiosity, then I have no idea what is going on."
"No, forget the little junior. That's not our problem." Yang sighed. "I asked Jaune what happened. Ruby genuinely wanted to rub him. That still doesn't ease my worry though."
Pyrrha smiled dryly at the struggling blonde of her sister team. Yang had always been a doting older sister for Ruby, she didn't show it much. However, once she did, she would place that deep level of affection at the top of everything. And thanks to that, everyone here was having a sleepless night.
Desperation. Pyrrha felt that from her, she was ready to sacrifice one night of her beauty sleep unless a solution was available. Big sis Yang just loved her precious baby sis that much.
"I want to ask a few things."
"Go for it, P-Money."
"Do you know why Ruby is so obsessed with this particular action?" The room went silent as if she just asked a millionaire question. "To begin with, what exactly is her understanding of rubbing? I'm talking about Ruby's own definition of the word."
Yang joined back in the table. A reminiscent gleam in those lilacs.
"There's nothing wrong about her definition of the word. To Ruby, to rub is to purely give someone a massage. It's a skill Ruby's Mom taught her when she was five. Since the technique Summer always uses requires the manipulation of Aura, it is far more advanced in comparison to the popular practice. It will bring out the best feeling of relaxation." She wiped her face with a hot towel before continuing. "Ruby wants to help Jaune by using the skills she was taught."
"I'm guessing she doesn't rub it the wrong way then."
All turned to the ginger girl.
"Nora, was that a pun?" Ren asked.
"What? Nah, it's not. Maybe?" She looked back at him. "You want me to make a pun? You think I'm good at that?"
"No."
"Yang, did it work?" The blonde in question raised an eyebrow at Pyrrha. They ignored the hoarse voice of Ren, who was being shook on his chair, in the background. "How did Jaune feel?"
"Vomit Boy said he felt great. Her massage really did ease the pain, a little bit before everything recoiled back." Yang shuddered. "He was like, big ouch."
"So, with Jaune's condition, maybe the rubbing is a good thing?"
"I…..okay, I guess it did help. But I don't want her innocent to be hanging on a thread. What if she gets curious and wants to go even further?"
Pyrrha blinked. She didn't grasp the meaning of her words.
"What Yang means is that Ruby's ignorance may leads her to the wrong turn." Blake spoke up. "The lack of experience will cause her to misunderstand the actions she wants to take. There's a possibility she might cross the boundary without ever realizing the nature of it."
"Hm." Pyrrha briefly nodded at the fact.
Ruby could be the most innocent girl she had ever known on Remnant. She was determined and passionate, always tried her best to do what she likes and to achieve what she desires without ever getting the need to worry about things. Personality wise, those were some of the best qualities of her red cloak wearing friend that made Ruby shine the brightest. It was doubtful to think her mindset would lead to such opinion.
After all, Ruby was fifteen, right? If they thought about the reason why she wanted to do this so much to help Jaune, maybe…
"Do you think this could have been our fault from the beginning?" She turned to Ren and Nora. "Maybe this is happening because we didn't let Ruby visit Jaune. We knew she's worried about him and yet, we tried to stop her because we're afraid she might lose her guileless side once she saw the state of his body."
The two spent a moment to share a thoughtful look at each other.
"Yes. It may be true." Ren eventually nodded. "Perhaps, we have grown so attach to the pleasant nature of Ruby that deep down in our heart, we didn't want her to change. Jaune's circumstance unconsciously made us fear of that possible scenario."
"Now that you mention it, I kinda feel bad. But what else can we do? We only have the bandage for disinterfection and the onesie. Jaune-Jaune's condition is something needed to be censored in a T rating story."
"We should have explained everything to her instead of thinking about it as a problem we need to help her avoid." Pyrrha shot Yang an apologetic gaze. "Team JNPR is the direct caused to this. We own Ruby an apology. I'm so sorry, Yang."
Yang was taken aback. She didn't expect this. She awkwardly rubbed the back of her head while looking at her teammates.
"Apology not accepted." Weiss suddenly said with her eyes closed. The firm tone of her voice startled the sister team. "It is unreasonable for us to hold you responsible for this. I supposed we are also in the wrong."
"Yes. Team RWBY is at fault, too." Blake quickly added. Cat ears held flat behind the bow. "We let our curiosity get the better of us and left Ruby confused by herself in the dark. Our actions have caused her to come up with such conviction."
"I'm with Blake and Weiss." Yang smiled and wrapped her arms around their shoulders. "I'm not going to blame you guys. And I'm not going to blame Vomit Boy, either. Because, you know, he's just as adorkable as Ruby. Better yet, he's a great guy, loyal and classy. I like him like a brother, and I trust Vomit Boy not to overstep the boundary."
True. Everyone nodded their head in agreement.
"Well, Fearless Leader obviously has no spine for these kinds of thing."
Awkward. But truthfully right. They shared the same thought.
"There's something I have to admit to you, P-Money."
"?"
"Nice job helping him train those abs and muscles." She gave her a thumb up. "I love every inch of those! You gotta admire them!"
A groan and a couple of jabs came next. Yang immediately winced as she was elbowed by her teammates. Pyrrha had the same expression just by watching the painful look on the blonde's face. Still, she was glad something valuable finally came out of this urgent meeting. It was great that both teams had reached a common understanding of the circumstance.
"So, what now?" Yang rubbed her sides, shrugged. "I still don't know what we are going to do about the rubbing?"
Right, the issue had yet to be solved.
"How about this?" Surprisingly, Nora had a new plan. "Why don't you just give her the talk?"
"What?"
"The talk, duh! My suggestion here is we should change the name to Operation: Raising Ruby's Awareness and do exactly as told in the title!"
"W-What?" Her voice shook.
"I mean your sister is fifteen. She's bounded to stumble across those topics sooner or later."
Yang continued to stare at Nora for an awfully long minute before lilacs began to drift away.
"In my opinion, I agree with Nora. You must accept the fact that Ruby is not a child anymore. Now she is a Huntress-in-training, she is older enough to understand the aspects of matter." Ren gave a quick nod. "Perhaps, that is the most appropriate solution."
Yang remained silent and turned away. Pyrrha noticed a hint of worry in that gesture.
"Yeah, about that. I don't think I'm ready to give her the talk."
"What?" All eyes widened.
"I don't know how she will react, okay! My Dad was supposed to do that. He planned to give Ruby the talk after she went to Signal but he got cold feet and decided not to."
Yang was worried again. This meant the group was about to hear another story. Pyrrha wiped her face with the hot towel to get rid of the drowsiness. It started to come back.
"That doesn't make any sense." Nora said. "What's up with your Dad?"
"Because he's afraid that Ruby could show interest to the extent like her Mother used to back from their time at Beacon. It took a whole team's effort and a week-long explanation to help Summer get her mind off stories about the birds and the bees."
Pyrrha covered her mouth not to let out a gasp. What a shocking revelation!
"The same thing repeated." Yang sat down, hugging her head. "Dad backed out, Uncle Qrow stepped in. Somehow it ended up with Ruby wanting to go find the honeybee with seven rainbow colors. It took days to explain to her the thing doesn't exist. After that, our family were devastated when Ruby ignored us for the whole evening. Uncle Qrow got scolded by Summer and my Mom, like, a lot because of it."
"Wow."
Yes, Nora. Just wow.
"That's what makes me afraid. If something goes wrong and there's a change in Ruby's mindset, I don't think I can handle it."
If Ruby reacted the same as Summer Rose after the talk, it could lead to an even bigger problem. Pyrrha shook her head. To think the legendary team STRQ had had it rough once upon a time and now there was a good change history could repeat itself.
Clap!
A clap of her hands, Weiss attracted their attentions.
"I believe the talk is essential for Ruby. However, we can leave that aside and cross the bridge later. There's a much more pressing matter which requires our concern."
It was the poison, she pointed out.
"I went through some of the books in the library. The lowest infection rate of most of the non-lethal toxins, which have been discovered on Remnant, can rise up to eight percent through direct contact. If the rubbi-ahem! Excuse me. If the massage happens, there is a lower change she will be infected. BUT!" She slammed her hands on the table, standing up, an aura of authority around her. "I refuse to ignore the risk of Ruby falling sick just because she wants to give Arc a massage to ease his pain. My partner is admirable for her purpose and conviction but I for once think that we should finish what we have started. That means we will continue to carry out the objective."
Weiss left her spot. Making one twitch of her wrist, a tiny dark Glyph emerged under the marker pen and it flew to her grasp. The cap was already popped, she didn't have to do it. She erased the words Yang scribbled on the whiteboard and began to write a new line.
Finished. She turned to the group with a proud smile.
"I hereby commence Operation: Don't Let Ruby Rub Jaune!" She raised a finger before Nora opens her mouth for question and answer. "Do please take note. By no means I am changing my way of addressing the dork using his first name. The title is for the majority to understand and straight to the point. It may not appear professional, however, it will work."
"You could at least keep the name I wrote instead of changing it, Weiss-cream."
"That is not possible, Yang. The name you gave appeared childish to me, so I decided to change it." Yang rolled her eyes. Weiss continued. "There is only one objective here, my friends. To supervise Ruby's actions whenever she visits Arc in the Medical Ward. Do not let her touch him until he is recovered from the effect of the poison. Moreover, do not think of this as we are being harsh to Ruby. There is one valid reason of why we are doing this and that is because we care for her well-being as well as Arc."
She stopped, taking a short glance at each individual. Everyone was listening carefully.
"As for the talk, we shall give Ruby once this is over and we are going to do it together as a team. That is all. Is there any question you would like to ask?"
The room fell into silence. A satisfied respond to the heiress.
"Very well, everyone agrees on this plan. At 7 in the morning, the operation officially begins! Thank you very much for your patience and participation. This meeting shall be dismissed, and I can finally return to my bed."
"Uhm. Weiss, should that be my line?" Yang asked.
"I am going back to my bed." Weiss didn't care. She carried the pen with her, opened the door and disappeared into the corridor.
Pyrrha watched her team up and left the room. Blake sent her a goodnight and quickly followed behind. The redhead covered her mouth to let out a yawn, stretched both arms. She felt tired again. Like usual, she would depend on Nora's excessively energetic nature and Ren to wake her up in the morning.
"Pyrrha."
She flinched and turned to Yang, who had yet to return to her room. Hearing the blonde called her by name instead of the nickname she fond of, Pyrrha knew there was something else she wanted to say. One more important matter which Yang preferred to let her know in private.
"Yes?"
"I just…I just want to say that I'm sorry."
Surprised, emeralds broadened.
"For what?"
"We all know Ruby is in love with Jaune. Then this happens, I didn't mean to make a big deal out of this and bother everyone. I just couldn't help but getting worried about my baby sis." Her head slight lowered. Lilacs gazed at the floor. She saw a gleam of determination in Yang's eyes even though she was outright nervous on the spot. "I'm sorry, Pyrrha. I know things can get awkward to you after this and maybe you will feel sad. Even so, I'm rooting for Ruby."
Oh, it's about that.
Ruby and Jaune. They were not an item. Not yet.
Pyrrha and Jaune. For some reasons, they were considered an item despite nothing official was announced.
Pyrrha understood now. It finally came to her why Yang wanted to speak like this. Her baby sis aside, Yang also concerned about her. She was afraid their friendships would change due to the feeling Ruby cherished for the boy, who was her partner and at the same time, beyond a close friend.
Humming softly, she let a smile formed on her lip. Yang was such a good friend.
"You're worrying too much, Yang. Don't let me cause you stress."
"But-!"
"I'm rooting for Jaune."
Yang looked up. No word came out as baffled lilacs met tranquil vivid greens. Pyrrha chuckled at the reaction and gave her a pat on the shoulder.
"Let's go back. I'm sure you will need some sleep for tomorrow classes. Especially Professor Port's lesson."
"Right."
They went back together.
"Thank you, P-Money. You're awesome."
"You're welcome, I guess?"
Pyrrha had no idea why Yang would say thank. At the very least, she noticed lilacs softened in relief and a content smile was showed on Yang's face. Thank goodness, a part of her friend's worry was gone.
"Goodnight, Yang."
"Catch you later in the morning."
The door to team RWBY's room shut. Pyrrha stood alone in the hallway, she took out her scroll and unlocked the door to team JNPR's room. She could finally jump on the bed, snuggle the blanket and finally rest for the night.
Hm?
Pyrrha paused, taking a deep breath through her nose.
She could scent a faint trace of sweet fragrant in the air. Smell like fruit. It lingered in front of her sister team's room and led back all the way to the direction where she just walked past with Yang.
How strange.
Weiss was already in her bed. She shot a glance at her and closed her eyes, breathing gently.
Blake was all curled up under the blanket, only her head and the pair of Faunus ears were sticking out. Pfft! Yang couldn't hide her smirk. That was the most common sleeping pose of a cat, Blake was doing it. And here she didn't believe her when she said that Blake often slept like a cat. Get it? Blake and cat?
Yang dropped her smirk as her partner sent a glare toward her. Geez, fine. She will stop with the joke.
"Night, Blake. And thanks."
"Hm."
A content sigh left her lip, Yang laid down on her bunk bed and pulled over the blanket. She was starting to feel sleepy. Classes started early the next morning, it was about time she got herself some good rest.
"Yang." Lilacs widened.
"Blake." Ambers snapped open.
"Weiss." Cold blues revealed, froze.
They heard squeaky voice echoed from the bunk bed hanging by ropes.
"You guys had a secret meeting without me."
Yang slowly turned her head and glanced at the bunk bed above Weiss's. Silvers narrowed at her, shone brightly like the shattered moon. Oh Dust! Ruby Rose was awake, and she was not amused.
"Don't worry, I'm not angry. In fact, I'm happy to know you all cares about me a lot. Even though you still see me as a child."
Nope! Yang had accepted the fact that her baby sis was a growing teenage girl like her. She adored her really much and nothing could change that. Wait! That was not the point! Ruby knew about the top-secret emergency meeting!
"By the way, Operation: Don't Let Ruby Rub Jaune?" She heard everything! "If it comes to this, I'll call off the deal, Weiss."
"You accepted my cookies, Ruby." The heiress replied in a calm voice. "You have agreed to my deal. You should keep your words as a responsible team leader."
Yes! The temporary plan was there. It was still in effect. Great! Keep it up, Weiss-cream!
"I'm glad you didn't make me sign a contract. I just realized that. Also, I ate all the cookies. You have nothing on me now, Weiss." Yang saw her turned pale. "I won't be bounded by your deal. I don't care about it anymore."
Not good! Ruby had exploited a gap in Weiss's deal. The temporary plan went down the drain. It backfired to their faces.
"Oh, and Yang." She flinched. "I know about the birds and the bees. Mommy gave me the talk before I enroll to Beacon with you."
"SAY WHAT!?"
Yang felt earth-shattering thunders shot through her ears. Summer Rose of all people did what!?
"Honestly, I'm still disappointed because no honeybee with seven rainbow colors was involved. Well, at least the example about the bear and the honey tree made sense."
Oh boy, Yang didn't want to think about the result. Was it okay? Did Summer succeed? Please tell her Ruby's mommy succeeded.
"The bear howls in ecstasy whenever he tastes the honey produced by the bees from the tree. It makes him feel so good even the birds can hear his cry on nine clouds." Ruby snickered. Her voice suddenly became cheerful. "I'm going to make Jaune feel exactly like that with my rubbing."
NOOOOOO! Her poor baby sis didn't get it!
"Blake, can I borrow the new book you have? I need reference material."
"Tomorrow. Please try not to fold the pages and don't let your dog go near it."
"Blake!?" Yang peered down at Blake over the edge of her bed. She gave her the look of betrayal. "Seriously!?"
"Relax, Yang. I'll give her a book but it's purely romance genre story." Her partner replied with a stoic face. "Ruby can learn a lot from that. She will need all the valuable experiences for her ship to set sail smoothly."
Yang doubted that. More like, potential bad influence!
"Yes! Can I also get the newest volume of the Passionate Howl at Full Moon?"
"Sur-"
"If your book makes her go down another wrong turn, I'll tickle you so hard you will purr like a kitten in the middle of the school." Lilacs flashed red. "I'll tell Nora to record everything then send it straight to your parents. I would love to see Mrs. Kali's reaction."
Cat ears held flat.
"I'm sorry, Ruby. I forgot where I put that book."
"Yanggg!" Ruby glared at her. She sat up and declared. "Fine! Stop me however you want, I won't give up. I'm going to do everything I can to help Jaune! I'm going to give him the best rubbing he's never had in his life!"
Uh-oh. Determined silvers shined and that pout was so cute but full of threatening.
"If you don't accept the fact that I want to help Jaune and get in my way, I will crush your operation! Do you know what this means, guys?"
Ruby showed a grin full of teeth. A cold sweat rolled down Yang's forehead. No! Please don't say it!
"This means WAR."
Groan!
…..oh, Dust.

Author's Note: I have fun writing this story. Although I planned this to be a 3 parts story, this chapter doesn't feel like a conclusion at all but a new development. I'll leave this as it is for now. I still have couple of ideas for this fic so I'll probably come back again.
Thank you for reading. Take care!
