Here's chapter 63, everyone.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Ruby asked her girlfriend while rubbing her fur a little, the white wolf swaying her tail from the feeling as she nodded.

"Yes. I have a lot to learn, Ruby. My semblance isn't easy to get… But I can't let that stop me." Weiss said, moving a bit away to reach for Myrtenaster. "Now no more questions on it. We have a mission to do still."

Ruby proudly grinned, pulling Crescent Rose out as she was pumped up from Weiss' words. "Yeah we do!" As she cheered, Blake and Yang walked over, weapons at the ready.

"Another day of hunting." Yang smirked, her gauntlets loaded for battle.

Blake kept Gambol Shroud in blade form, finding her partner's enthusiasm to be a ray of sunshine. "Try not to burst another eye out this time."

Yang chuckled. "No promises."

The team had already packed up their camping equipment by the time they were ready to continue hunting, so the day went on like the other. Battles were fought, Grimm blood was shed. Still, Weiss wasn't ready to use her 'semblance' the way she and Glynda spoke about the night before.

Cutting them down with Myrtenaster was good enough for the time being, and she would only resort to fighting Grimm another way if she had to. Ruby on the other hand was doing her best to keep an eye on her team. As a leader, she didn't worry too much about herself, but chose to care more about what her team was able to do.

"Weiss, to your left!" Ruby called out, swinging her scythe at another Beowolf, bisecting it and watching as it faded away upon death.

Her partner blocked an incoming claw attack from her left, thanks to Ruby's warning. She growled and spun around, slashing at the Beowolf that attempted to attack her. "Almost got hit on a blind spot. I need to thank her after this."

The white wolf was able to scare a hit on the Beowolf's neck, killing it and watching it fade away, like the other Ruby killed. "Blake, jump!" Yang yelled to the cat Faunus, who did as she said and jumped up, only for Yang to fire a shot where she was and nailing another Beowolf in the chest.

Blake swapped Gambol Shroud to its pistol form, quickly firing multiple rounds at the other Beowolf next to the one Yang had shot. Both had gone down rather easily, since Beowolves were considered the weakest Grimm to fight.

"And that makes another twelve Beowolves down." Yang walked over to Blake after the Grimm in that part of the coast were killed. She raised her hand up and grinned. "Good job, partner."

The cat Faunus hesitated for a moment, but after seeing the grin on Yang's face, she let out a small smile of her own and high fived the blonde brawler. "Not a lot of ammo used, and our aura hasn't taken any damage, so yeah, I'd have to agree."

"Don't forget that we kicked butt." Yang chuckled as she set Ember Celica back into its non combat mode, only after taking a look around and seeing nothing in the area. "So, should we start checking over the hills soon?"

Ruby heard the question and looked to Glynda. "Ms. Goodwitch, do you think-?"

"This is a mission your team is in charge of, Miss Rose. So only resort to going to me for advice, or help, if absolutely necessary." Glynda said, surprising the rose girl.

"Oh, uh, right." Ruby took a second to think. "Yeah, I think i t would be good. Just because there aren't Grimm on the coast, doesn't mean there won't be any on the hills next to it."

Weiss nodded in agreement, unable to speak with her weapon in her teeth, so the team made their way to the hills, finding more Grimm to take down for the miners that would be brought in after their mission was complete.

As they continued fighting, the white wolf of the team would think more and more about her combat skills, as well as the woman that Glynda had known. In her mind, if one person out there had abilities like hers, than she can do the same.

Two days had gone by, and the team had done their best to clear out as much Grimm as they could. Still, they were tired, ready to collapse as the third day in a row of hunting proved to be quite taxing on the four girls. They may be huntresses in training, but it was only their first mission.

"Okay… So… I think I can say this for the rest of us, but I am beat." Yang said as she wiped a bead of sweat from her forehead. "I didn't think I'd be this tired only after like, three days."

"You'll find that it only gets harder from here, Miss Xiao Long, but… I can say I am quite impressed with you all. In these three days, you've done well." Glynda praised, but kept a stern expression. "Don't think I'm going to not point out your flaws in the report though."

The team groaned, wishing she would've left that part out, but before they could do anything else, out from the water, the tongue of an Okean launched out and aimed right for Ruby, who gasped when it got close.

Right before it could wrap itself around her, Glynda had blocked it with a rune like barrier, protecting the girl. "Shit, we missed one." Yang cursed under her breath.

Glynda watched as the Okean jumped out of the water, shooting aqua blasts immediately, but it wasn't hard for the blonde huntress to block more of the shots. She chose to handle that one herself, raising her crop up and raising five dozen ice shards, surprising the team, as they didn't expect that much dust use.

As they were raised and angled toward the Okean, who tried to shoot its tongue at Glynda, but she slightly moved her crop, holding the tongue with her semblance, and as it was trying to pull back, the blonde huntress sent out her ice spikes, impaling it to death.

Yang whistled at the performance. "Wow, that was, uh, pretty badass. You made it look easy."

Glynda didn't care to gloat, so she simply returned her crop to its resting place and faced the team. "Since you're all exhausted, I felt it was time to allow you some rest."

Ruby smiled, sitting back on the sand. "Thanks, Ms. Goodwitch." She sighed happily, feeling proud of the work she and her team did that day. "Our first mission…" The scythe wielder looked up at the evening sun, taking in the fresh breeze.

Weiss laid down next to her, her tail swaying a bit. "Why do I feel like you're about to make a cheesy speech, you little red dork." The blush on Ruby's face made Weiss chuckle a bit. "Were you really about to?"

"N-No! I was just saying how great it feels to actually go on a mission… And maybe add a few words of… Um, praise?" Ruby tried covering it up.

"Uh huh. You were so about to make a speech." Weiss closed her eyes, knowing her partner was pouting at her. "Don't worry though, I think you could make a good cheesy speech any day of the week."

Ruby slumped in defeat, earning some laughter from her older sister. "I'd love hearing that, sis." Yang joked as she sat next to her embarrassed sister.

Blake didn't feel like ganging up on Ruby, and instead decided to remind the blonde of something. "If I remember right, I think I heard you talking to yourself in the mirror one time, Yang."

The blonde brawler's eyes widened, and she quickly jumped to her feet to cover her partner's mouth. "We soooo don't need to talk about that!"

"Wait, no, now I need to hear this." Ruby smirked, getting a look of fear from Yang.

"No you don't!" Yang countered, and Blake pulled away from her. "B-Blake, don't you dare say anything, or-."

"She was complimenting her own hair, telling herself how no one can compete and how beautiful she is." Blake nonchalantly explained, Yang's almost going pale as she blushed heavily from that.

Ruby bursted out laughing, falling on her back as she started tearing up from what she was just told. "Ha! Yang, you haven't done that since you were ten!"

"Shut it, Ruby!" Yang shouted, and the team enjoyed their time of relaxation, even if it was at Yang's expense.

Glynda however wasn't about to join in on their shenanigans, so she made the call to the Bullhead pilot that brought them to the coast in the first place. It wasn't the cleanest mission, but Team RWBY got it done, and that's what mattered. Not only that, but Glynda was able to have a chance at reliving old memories of the white wolf she once knew.

"You guys get all the fun." Nora pouted, both Team RWBY and JNPR were hanging out together in their dorm, JNPR's to be exact, while Ruby was telling them all about their mission. "All we got to do was escort some people…"

"And we got them to safety. That's the important part, Nora." Ren noted, trying to get his close friend to see the good in what they did, over the enjoyment of it.

"Well sure, that's all great… But we still haven't been able to show off our stuff!" Nora whined, while Jaune seemed a bit happier than usual.

Yang noticed that, so she scooted over. "And what's got you so happy, my fellow blonde?"

Jaune was a little startled by the sudden question. "Huh, oh, uh, nothing really. I'm just glad our mission went well." While he didn't want to say it outright, the fact this his teammates didn't get injured was the real relief.

"Heh, well I heard from Pyrrha that you made some pretty good callouts. Not bad, vomit boy." Yang patted his back, and the boy groaned at the nickname.

"Can we not stick with that nickname…" Jaune pleaded, earning a chuckle from the other blonde in the group.

"Eh, if it ain't one you want, I can give you a freebie on it. Hmm, just gotta think of something else for ya." Yang said, and Jaune could only hope that she wouldn't call him something even worse.

Weiss scowled at the blonde. "And why didn't I get a freebie all those years ago, Xiao Long?"

"Because back then, I didn't have the freebie system going." Yang grinned, and Weiss rolled her eyes, having used her 'semblance' to finally change back into being human.

Nora perked up. "Wait, you have a nickname system in general?" Yang shrugged at that, while Nora looked excited. "You need to come up with nicknames for all of us."

"Whoa, Whoa, calm down there. This girl can only come up with so many nicknames." The blonde brawler said about herself, leaning her back against one of the beds. "Just give it time, and I might come up with stuff for each of ya."

Weiss stretched a bit, yawning since the mission took a lot out of her and the rest of the team. "While I would love to hear the ridiculous conversation on nicknames," Her sarcasm was not missed. "I think I would like some rest." The white haired teen got to her feet and headed for the door. "I'll be in our dorm if anyone needs me."

Blake got up almost immediately after. "Yeah, I'll be there too." She wasn't much for larger group hangouts, so after leaving the room, Pyrrha looked to Ruby and Yang.

"It must have been a very tiring mission." The scarlet huntress in training commented. "Most of the Sapphire Coast's area is a lot to scour."

"Yeah, it really was." Yang confirmed, yawning a bit. "Honestly, I'd say walking a lot was pretty tiring too. The camping out was fun though."

Ruby grinned, nodding in agreement with her sister. "Ms. Goodwitch said it was only gonna get harder from here, so we gotta keep moving forward if we're gonna be able to handle these hunts."

Her sister gave her a thumbs up. "You know it, sis." She got up and stretched a little. "Hey, I think ice wolf and Blake had a good idea on getting some rest. Imma head back too. See you guys later."

As she waved to the team, Ren looked to Ruby. "Were you going to join them?"

"Yup, I'm pretty tired too. Oh, but I was hoping that tomorrow we can have a sparring match." Ren looked surprised by that. "I mean, not just us, but our teams." She looked to Jaune. "What do ya say, Jaune? Friendly sparring match with our teams?"

Jaune was a bit intimidated by the request. Sure his team could handle themselves well, but he still felt he would drag them down in a team fight. Still, the huntsman in training didn't want to show fear, so he nodded. "Y-Yeah, that sounds fun…"

"Awesome! Okay, I'll let my team know. We can have it at around, five? Sound okay?" Ruby suggested, and Jaune simply nodded shyly, clearly nervous about the sparring match they'd be having tomorrow.

Back in the RWBY dorm, the girls were getting ready for sleep, with Weiss already in her nightgown as her girlfriend walked in. "Looks like we all made a train back to the dorm." The white haired teen joked as she was about to get in bed.

"Hehe. I just started feeling as tired, so I figured why not." Ruby shrugged. "Oh, and I asked Team JNPR if they wanted to have a team sparring match tomorrow. You guys in?"

Yang looked pumped immediately, while Blake seemed to not care either way. Weiss however sighed. "Ruby, really? We just got back from a three day mission, and now you want us to have a team sparring match the next day?"

"Oh come on, ice wolf." Yang called out from her bed. "It's not like we're gonna go all out. It's a friendly sparring match."

Weiss looked unamused. "You and 'friendly sparring matches' usually ends up with dust explosions, or should I remind you of the sparring matches you've had with Nora?"

"Ugh, you really gotta be a prune about this, ice wolf?" Yang complained, earning a glare in return.

"I know you didn't just call me a prune, Xiao Long." If she were in her wolf form, her teeth would threatening the blonde brawler there and then.

Ruby clapped to calm them both down. "Ey! No fighting. Weiss, if you want, I can change the day when we spar. I really don't mind."

Weiss sighed. "You already asked them, so no sense in changing the date on that."

"Sorry." Ruby felt she had to say that, so she walked over, looking at her partner for a moment before leaning in and giving her a soft kiss on her lips. "Forgive me?"

The white haired teen blushed, while Yang snickered about the blush Weiss had after being kissed. "A kiss won't get me to forgive you all the time, you little dork…"

"Yes it will!" Yang exclaimed, so Weiss growled and grabbed her pillow, chucking it immediately at the blonde who was pelted right in the face.

"Oaf." Weiss crossed her arms, hearing her girlfriend giggling. "And what's so funny? I still haven't forgiven you yet for not informing us of this idea of yours."

Ruby gave her puppy dog eyes. "Weeiiiiisssss! Please don't be mad. I just thought of it last minute, and I think it can be really, really fun."

The white haired teen was not able to resist the look her girlfriend gave her, so she relented. "A-Alright, alright… I forgive you…" The rose girl jumped on her partner, making her yelp as she almost fell back when she caught her. "Ruby Rose!"

Yang playfully rolled her eyes at how the white rose pair acted, finding it too cute.

"Hey, honey." Tai said to his wife when he answered his scroll. "Ruby told me she got back from her mission today, so should I start sending Zwei over?"

"It's a little late for that, so maybe tomorrow morning." Summer replied. "We're not able to get a certain plan going for a while, but… I'm just happy you'll be helping us on this."

Tai was packing some things he'd need in a suitcase, while he looked over at Zwei, who seemed excited on going to Beacon. "It'll be like old times, except, well, I'll get to punch Qrow when I get there."

Summer giggled at that. "I'm pretty sure that's still like old times, honey."

"True enough." As Tai finished packing, he rubbed Zwei's head a few times. "Did the girls tell you how their mission went?"

"Yup! I'm so proud of them. Their first hunt and they did so well, even with Glyn breathing down their necks." Summer commented.

"Come on, she's not that bad." Tai defended jokingly.

"You and I both know you're trying too hard to defend Glyn here." Summer stated, earning some laughter from her husband.

Tai sat back on his bed, shrugging a little. "She has her moments."

"That's true, but, uh… Um, I was gonna ask. About Raven-." Before she could finish, her husband cut her off.

"Don't worry. I'm not gonna jeopardize a mission like this because of personal stuff. Besides, we've talked before, Summer. We're adults." Tai reminded.

"I-I know. I was just-." Summer was cut off again.

"Concerned, and I get that, but I promise you this," He spoke truthfully. "Raven and I won't argue. I'm going there to help on a mission, and that's that. You trust me, right?"

Summer sighed. "You know I do, honey… I love you."

"I love you too. Try to take a break tonight from whatever you're doing on that mission, okay?" Tai recommended.

"Yeah, I think I'll do that. See you tomorrow." Since they were on a video call, she blew him a kiss, so he blew one right back, ending the call there.

I may have screwed up and forgot to post earlier… Nintendo's E3 distracted me! All the announcements got me excited… So blame them for announcing the greatest Super Smash Bros game they've ever made.

Seriously though, I really do apologize for being late on this.

To JJ- Her fears have shown a few times, and Glynda, with the knowledge of how to handle someone with those fears really helped here. In the end, Weiss will have to learn to conquer her fears. As for posting later than usual… Well this chapter is an example of how I tend to forget things at times. Woops.

I hoped you all enjoyed chapter 63. Remember, reviews are welcomed, but not required. See you all in chapter 64.
