Gathering of Old and New Friends!
Qrow was not having a good day almost like his Bad Luck Semblance is working overtime just to make him feel miserable, all day he has been trying to find any Huntsmen and Huntresses he can hire for his group's help for the potential upcoming fight for Haven Academy.
But he couldn't find a single one, not one Hunter still remain in this town and the ones he knew have all gone on missions but never came back from them.
"This isn't right. I get one or two of them, but... all of them?" Qrow confused, how is he gonna break the news to everyone back at the house.
"Well, we still have those princesses to fight with us, but still…" Qrow worried of the situation.
Qrow hung his head in disappointed knowing there's no use in complaining about what has happened before he knew it, best to head back and tell the others they're on their own for the Haven battle.
But then he heard something opening up from behind him as he turns around in shock of seeing a familiar red and black portal appearing before his eyes.
"Raven?" Qrow confused of why is Raven coming to him now of all times.
He can only hope it's not something serious like a stupid demand for the Branwen tribe because that is the last thing he needs right now.
But then his expression softens to shock again when he saw the people coming out of the portal.
"Oh." Qrow said.
(Heroes' House)
Qrow had sent Ruby a text message telling her that he is bringing back some people he found to help them, so she got everyone to help prepare dinner.
"Does this look right to you?" Adora asked Jaune as she placed a pillow at one spot.
"Yeah, looks great." Jaune said with a thumb up.
"Everything is looking wonderful!" Spinnerella smiled as she swiping the dusts away with her wind and blowing them outside through a window.
"Did Qrow even say how many are coming?" Netossa asked while taking out the trash with Catra.
"Don't know, he said it's gonna be a surprise once they get here." Ruby answered while she and Ren are making the dinner on the stove.
"And you make my food tiny? I always prefer my food to be packable and fast to eat." Entrapted requested.
"How exactly have you been surviving with just the tiny foods? Anyone would still be hungry and eat more than what you eat." Oscar asked.
"While most people like our specific species do need to consume the edible substances to keep our bodies moving and survive, there are some with different workings such as for me eating less food than others which is good so I can get back to my inventions and experiments quicker." Entrapta explained.
"Wow, guess you're pretty lucky to have a body like that." Oscar impressed.
"Well, I don't think about my appearance much because caring such things would get in the way of progress." Entrapta stated.
"But you should still try to look out for your health better even though you can eat less." Bow advised.
"Still, if everybody could eat less like you then we wouldn't have any much food problems." Oscar believed with a smile.
"It's like you're a living science project and a success too!" Oscar complimented.
Suddenly Entrapta started to feel something weird from within her own body, more specifically the heart as just stop beating for only half a second, and she starts to feel warm like someone has turn up the air conditioner and her cheeks are turning a little red too.
"(What is happening to me? My body temperature is raising, and my heart feels different than usual.)" Entrapta thought confused of these new feelings.
"Entrapta, are you okay? You look like you have a fever." Oscar asked seeing that Entrapta looks frozen a little.
"Who, me? I'm perfectly fine with the weird feeling of seeing you as one of my cute tiny foods with the freckles as sprinkles, but instead of eating you, I want to hug you!" Entrapta blurted uncontrollably.
Oscar looks at her with his eyes widen of shock from what the science woman of Etheria just said.
"…Did I say that out loud?" Entrapta asked as she is shocked of this herself.
"I'm back!" Qrow called out.
"Coming!" Ruby responded as she is still working on the next batch with Ren.
"Ruby, you're going to overcook that." Spinneralla warned.
"No I'm not, shut up!" Ruby talked back as she really wants to make this good.
"Hey, uh, Ruby?" Qrow called out again.
"I'm coming!" Ruby yelled a little louder.
"Now smoke is coming out." Spinneralla alerted with a teasing grin making Ruby gasp.
"Fine! You take over." Ruby groaned as she left with Spinneralla helping Ren with the cooking.
"Nora, please stop eating some of the sliced carrot pieces. They're for everyone." Spinneralla scolded making Nora flinch.
Ruby comes into the living room holding a tray of tea pot and cups.
"So, we didn't know how many people were coming, so we just cooked all of it." Ruby said.
But when Ruby looks up, she gasps upon seeing both Yang and Weiss here as Netossa and Catra are shocked to see Perfuma and Frosta with them as well, but Ruby is the more shocked one as she drops the tray crashing onto the floor.
Melong look at the dropped tray and up to Ruby's shock face as Catra pets her head.
"Yep, I say she knows those two." Catra said from hearing what Melong was thinking.
"Yang, I... I'm so sorry! I- I should've stayed, and I should've talked to you more! I'd- I just... I wasn't sure if you wanted me around and—" Ruby started to cry of both joy and worry that Yang might hate her for leaving like that.
But Yang didn't look any angry nor sad at all, she just walks up to Ruby and giving her a big hug as she utter the three words an older sister would say to her younger sister at times like this.
"I love you."
Ruby became shocked of hearing those words instantly washing away all the worries she had.
"I love you too." Ruby hugged Yang back.
"Hey guys, we finish cleaning the upstairs and… Frosta!" Glimmer shocked.
"Hey there, Glimmer." Frosta waved hello.
Glimmer smile wider and teleports right in front of the literal ice princess giving her a big hug.
"I'm so happy you're okay! Do you have any idea how worried I was?" Glimmer smiled.
"Come on, this is me you're talking to." Frosta bragged but didn't push away from the hug.
Ruby looks over to Weiss extending her arm to have her join the hug which the Schnee girl didn't hesitate and joins the hug.
"Hey Adora, is there a hugging moment going on?" Swift Wind called out making some of the friends laugh.
"My friends, I am so happy to see you all again!" Perfuma hugged Netossa and Catra.
"We're glad to see you too, girl." Netossa chuckled.
"Is everyone here as well?" Perfuma asked.
"Mostly everyone, it seems we're still missing Mermista and Scopria since we ended up being separated from each other." Adora answered walking up to her.
"Oh dear, I hope my beloved scorpion is okay." Perfuma worried.
"Don't worry, knowing how strong those two are, I'm sure we'll be seeing them again in no time." Bow believed.
"Though I wouldn't be surprised of how Scorpia will make Mermista feel uncomfortable." Glimmer pointed out.
"Are you guys making dinner because I am hungry." Frosta rubbed on her stomach.
"Then let's get our eating on!" Glimmer declared.
"So, you're the former pink sidekick Frosta told me about." Weiss said causing Glimmer to glare at Frosta.
"I said former." Frosta shrugged nervously.
Soon, everyone gathers around including Swift Wind as Glimmer teleported him inside and they started talking about the days of RJNR's travel as they laugh.
"How do you lose your map at a time like that?" Yang asked.
"Believe me, I've asked myself the same thing ever since." Jaune smiled.
"Sounds like you did have a firm grip, you should try making it tighter like holding your sword." Oscar advised.
"Bet you know a lot about keeping a firm grip." Catra teased roughing his hair a little.
"Wish I could've known that earlier." Jaune said.
"Hey, but you made up for it, Mister Muscles! You shoulda seen this guy take a giant Grimm head on!" Nora mentioned.
"I still can't believe there's a horseman Grimm out there, it's like the monsters are trying to become humans." Swift Wind scared.
"Yeah, it was really scary. But I couldn't have done it without Ruby wearing it down." Jaune looked over to Ruby.
"Uh, me? Did you see Ren during that fight? He was out of control!" Ruby pointed at Ren.
"I'm sorry, I may have lost my temper momentarily." Ren apologized.
"She didn't mean that in an insulting way, right?" Bow asked.
"Yeah, yeah, out of control as in "awesome"!" Ruby pointed out.
"Oh, thank you." Ren smiled.
"Hey Weiss, did you do anything cool like that?" Frosta asked.
"Well, there was this one time." Weiss blushed of embarrassment as she tells everyone about the party she went to and what she did too.
"You did not!" Ruby shocked.
"Yeah, right in the middle of the party." Weiss nodded.
"Now that's a princess taking action." Catra commented.
"Please tell me you let that lady have it?" Yang asked.
"Of course not! Even if I did really want to." Weiss answered and said her little secret.
"I don't believe it." Nora said as she wants to see some proof, and she got her proof when Weiss summoned a Boarbatusk right next her and scared her too.
"Well, I say you did better with your self-control to show that woman who's the better person at the party." Adora complimented making Weiss smile.
"But it also reminds you of how suck you are at parties." Catra joked making Adora blush.
"Hey! It was my first Princess Ball, and you were the one making things complicated." Adora complained pouting.
"Princess Ball, is that like a party?" Nora asked.
"Yeah, it's a special event that is held every 10 years hosted by each princess of Etheria to bring everyone together and hope everyone can enjoy the moments in peace." Perfuma explained.
"I was the host of my first Princess Ball, it was cool in more ways than one." Frosta bragged.
"I remember how serious and strict you were back then." Glimmer recalled the first time they met.
"You serious, I can hardly imagine." Weiss chuckled crossing her arms.
"Hey, I was the ruler of my own Ice kingdom, I had to be." Frosta defended herself.
Then Yang started showing off her robotic prosthetic arm to everyone as some are in awestruck like Entrapta as she couldn't stop looking at it and taking pictures with her tablet.
"It's not a replacement for the real thing, but I'll make sure to make good use of it." Yang grinned.
"That's amazing!" Jaune said.
"Damn girl, I wouldn't mind getting myself a new arm like that IF I ever lost mine." Netossa whistled.
"And I will always love you no matter what." Spinneralla hugged Netossa from behind and kiss her cheek making her giggle.
"Whoever made this arm certainly knew about connecting the wires and electric circuits with the flesh of the human body. Have you felt any tingling sensation from the arm?" Entrapta asked curious.
"Not that I know of, but I'll let you know if I do." Yang said.
"It's incredible." Ren impressed.
"And it's just as strong?" Ruby asked holding up the robot arm.
"Hmm, sure is." Yang smirked.
"Strong than She-Ra?" Catra tapped her elbow on Adora making her go in on the fun.
"Oh boy, I see where you're going with this." Adora chuckled.
"But I wouldn't mind a challenge." Adora smirked as she transforms into She-Ra, amazing Yang and Weiss upon seeing this.
"Ready when you are." Adora taunted.
Yang smirks accepting this challenge as they set their elbows on the table with Oscar holding their hands in position, looking at each other for a moment.
"And… Go!" Oscar lets go of their hands and the girls starts the arm-wrestling contest.
"Come on, Yang! Make her a She-Boo!" Nora cheered.
"Show this blonde how strong princesses are!" Frosta yelled.
Yang is giving everything she got to pushing her opponent's arm back to her left only to be having a very difficult time with how strong Adora is, the former Horde solider is hardly putting any effort in her strength with how amazing her strength is during the battles she's been through and can feel this girl won't be any trouble.
"Go, She-Ra! I mean Yang, go Yang! No wait, I mean… Oh, I don't know who to cheer for?!" Perfuma panicked a little.
"C'mon, sis! Aw, you can't lose to a girl in a skirt!" Ruby cheered.
"You wear a skirt, Ruby." Weiss pointed out frowning.
"Weiss, you're not cheering loud enough!" Ruby shouted at Weiss.
"Oh yeah, do you see that? She-Ra not the strongest woman in the universe for nothing." Swift Wind excited.
"Though I wish she would let Yang have a moment to herself for a bit, that way she won't know how out of her league she is right now." Catra said.
"Man, you're like a mountain!" Yang commented while struggling.
"Well, I haven't checked if I could actually move a mountain, but thanks for that." Adora smiled.
"You know, there is one extra feature that is cool." Yang smirked.
"Maybe you can show me that… after I win!" Adora threw her arm down taking Yang's down too and everybody cheers.
"See, as if you can—AAAAAAHHH?!" Adora screamed shocked of seeing Yang's robotic arm still latching onto her hand.
"Oh yeah, detachable too." Yang smirked.
"Get it off! Get it off!" Adora swinged her arm fast until the robot arm came off sending towards Oscar.
Oscar gasp as he tries to brace himself to catch the arm only to get knock back crashing onto Entrapta who tries to hold herself up by grabbing the nearest object, and that object happens to be Spinneralla who was close to them causing her to fall too. This causes Oscar's head to become smoothen right between Entrapta and Spinneralla with their breasts on him.
"Warning! Warning! Suddenly unregistered feelings are raising!" Entrapta gasped with her face becoming red.
"Okay, now that was worth to watch!" Catra laughed.
"(Okay, what is happening right now?)" Oscar thought confused blushing hard and Ozpin is just chuckling.
Everyone continue having a good time with each other as they eat every food Ruby and the others cooked up, and it was enough for the whole group with satisfaction on their faces and in their bellies.
"Wow, that was a good dinner." Netossa smiled.
"Yes, you must've put a lot of effort into making all that food." Perfuma nodded.
"Glad there was more people here otherwise I would've felt sick if I had to eat more." Jaune chuckled as he carries a tray to the kitchen.
"Easy there, Vomit Boy, I believe in you." Yang smirked.
"Oh, we're doing nickname throwbacks now. Wonderful." Jaune chuckled sarcastically.
"Is that something we need to know?" Catra asked curious with a smirk.
"He got motion sickness when we went to Beacon." Ruby explained.
"You know, I didn't think there would be two Ice Queens, but here is this one." Nora pointed at Frosta sitting next to Weiss.
"You must've been called that because of how amazing you are!" Frosta looked at Weiss admiring.
"I was very good in class, but I actually hated the nickname. Yet the complaining wasn't all that bad." Weiss explained a bit.
"What went and warmed your heart while you were gone?" Nora teased.
"Hey! You make it sound like I used to be terrible." Weiss complained.
"Nah. Just a lot to deal with it once." Yang said and stuck out her to Weiss who turns around.
"Reminds me of how clingy Frosta was to me." Glimmer mentioned.
"Hey, you're making it sound like I was a brat." Frosta felt offended from that.
"Well, think back to when we were all at Beacon, would you say you ever did anything foolish or embarrassing? Or do you think you were perfect?" Ren asked as some of them thought on this with Weiss having her hands on her face.
"I may have been a little too gung-ho from time to time." Yang admitted.
"Heh, you? I tried to 1v1 a Nevermore on the second day of school." Ruby mentioned.
"Yeah, well... don't even get me started." Jaune chuckled.
"I remember how me and Glimmer didn't listen to Bow when we went to Dryl." Adora recalled as Glimmer blushes onto her boyfriend.
"I believe I was the worst since I loved tech more than people which caused a lot of problems even to the people who are supposed to be my friends." Entrapta admitted.
"Well, that embarrassment - that desire to go back and tell yourself not to be so stupid - that just proves you're not the same person you used to be. You're smarter, you're kinder, you're stronger, and you're not done growing yet. None of us are." Ren believed getting everyone silence.
"Now, talk about deep." Frosta commented.
"Yeah, turns out Ren gets real deep when he feels like talking." Ruby said and everyone giggles together.
