AN: I plan on releasing this story as something to release on my own time without much schedule. There won't really be regular updates, just uploads when I come up with ideas for a story. Also, this is an AU, thought you guys should know.

The lights finally died down, and people were leaving the arena. This was a change of pace, considering her parents always brought her to operas and classical shows. Her first rock concert was somewhat crazy to her, being used to the brightly lit stages and harmony of instruments in orchestras. The most interesting part to her was the singer for some reason, the girl on stage exuded confidence in a way she had never seen before. She had always heard her father's speeches and the fake confidence covering up everything, the fear, the anger. This was different, this girl's confidence seemed real, at least more real than anything else she had known. Weiss finally walked out of the arena and was about to leave when she was caught by someone. Weiss turned around and was surprised when she saw the singer behind her. "Did you enjoy the show?" she asked with what seemed to be genuine curiosity, Weiss was in a bit of a hurry as she snuck out of her parent's house to be here and needed to get back before they found out she was gone. "Yes, it was wonderful, I'm surprised someone of your position would come out to speak to someone that was in the audience," Weiss responded, hoping to get away so her parents wouldn't send a search party out for her, "I generally go out of my way to talk to fans at my shows after they end and you were the first person I saw leaving, I was kind of worried you didn't like the show, or the music, or the lighting, or-" the singer was interrupted when Weiss tried to reassure her, "the show was great, I just- I've never seen a rock concert before, I was so used to getting in sitting down, listening to the music and leaving as soon as it stopped, sorry if I worried you," and the girl instantly lost any kind of tension she had, "thanks, I kinda needed that, people really haven't liked as much of our music lately and I was hoping it wasn't that the music was just terrible in the first place," the girl seemed almost sad but cheered up a bit and asked Weiss, "so, what's your name?" "Weiss, and yours?" a phone started buzzing, it was the other girl's thankfully, "My name's Ruby. I should get going, but take this with you, see you later!" and with that, Ruby handed Weiss a piece of paper and ran off. Weiss also turned around and walked off.

Weiss finally arrived at home, but unlike what she thought would happen, her parents weren't waiting to scold her or ask where she'd been, she was just hoping they would do anything with her at this point. Weiss remembered the slip of paper Ruby gave her, she pulled it out and found a phone number written on it. The girl had been completely ignored by her parents unless they needed something, and she had no one to talk to, until now. Weiss took out her phone texted the number Ruby gave her, a simple message, "Hey Ruby, this is Weiss, are you getting this?" and went off to her bedroom. She would get her answers in the morning.

AN#2: So, I decided to update chapter one of this story, originally I just wanted to get this thing off the ground to make the story I had in mind, but I read the one criticizing review I've gotten so far, reread chapter one, and decided that it was a bit contrived and I didn't really like it so much. I like seeing the reviews as it helps me improve my work, so if you find something objectively poorly done that you would like to see improved, write a review! I'll try to read any that I can. Chapter three should be uploaded soon, if not uploaded already when chapter one updates.
