80 A.G.W, December 11th
05:33 PM
Beacon Academy, Vale
"Beacon…" Weiss spoke as she laid sight on the familiar sight of the combat academy she didn't see for decades.
Nothing changed much at Beacon from the outside in the night. The shattered moon was a bit of a welcoming sight, despite looking jarring compared to the intact moon of Eos. Her son and his crownsguard, along with some Kingsglaive were staring at the shattered moon in fascination, its broken form alluring them to the mystery of the celestial body's state.
"Wow, look at the moon." Prompto whistled out.
"The heck happened to it?" Gladious muttered in disbelief.
"Looks like someone blew up a huge chunk of it." Crowe remarked as other glaives conversed with one another of the state of the moon.
"There are many theories and beliefs of what happened to it, but nobody truly knows." Weiss explained to the Eosians.
"So this place is your home, your majesty?" Nyx asked.
"Yes it is."
Many Kingsglaive had difficult time believing that they were in another world, and that their beloved queen who fought alongside them was born here instead of Eos as many have believed. It did explained her mysterious appearance at Lucis and her closeness with prince Regis at the time.
"Everybody, our sleeping quarters are that way, and at around 6pm dinner will be delivered there." Weiss pointed the way to their sleeping quarters.
"Yes your majesty." Everybody except Noctis replied.
"So mom, what's the plan for tomorrow?" Noctis said as a yawn escaped his mouth.
"Meeting old friends and teachers." Weiss simply answered.
80 A.G.W, December 12th
08:17 AM
"Here's my former dorm room." Weiss said to Noctis as she and her son stopped in front of door to team RWBY's room.
"Do we have to wake up this early?" Noctis half complained and questioned, his eyes feeling a bit heavy from waking up early. He hated waking up early.
"Yes. It would be a shame you didn't get to see my former dorm room with the occupants inside." Weiss smiled.
"You sure they're up this early?" Noctis questioned. "I don't think we're going to have that many people waking up.
Right after finishing the sentence the door opened up to reveal Yang with a tired face and dressed in her school uniform. The blonde looked up to see Weiss and Noctis for a second before her eyes widen in realisation.
"Holy cow! You two are already at Beacon!?" Yang yelled before Weiss's hand clamped on her mouth.
"You're going to wake the entire floor up with that mouth." Weiss scolded.
"Yang? What's with the yelling?" Blake asked as she came besides Yang then saw who her partner was looking at. "Oh…"
"Mind if I come in?" Weiss asked. "Show my boy around Beacon."
"Sure, Ruby's done dressing up anyway for our final 9am class."
"Final class?" Weiss asked surprised
"It's nearly the end of the semester." Yang answered. "Today's December 12th."
Weiss raised an eyebrow when she heard the date, as she recalled the last date there were at Lucis was august. That was weird, considering the portal time dilation between the two realms were now the same except for connecting in the different parts of their respective year.
"Wasn't it August something when we left Lucis?" Noctis asked his mom, confused by the date.
"That's a question for later, come let me show you the room." Weiss entered the door as Yang and Blake moved aside for them to enter.
Entering her dorm room for over 30 years caused a memory train to slam into her, the room still the same as she remembered when she was stranded on Lucis, yet herself changing in many ways Beacon couldn't do. Looking at her bunk bed Weiss smiled at the sight remembering trying to save space and creating a bunk bed – something she always wanted to have. Turning to face her stuff on the floor, dressers, and wardrobe, all shiny as ever as if not a day passed by, she went over to the wardrobe and opened up to reveal her old combat outfit. The white colors she always loved to wear untouched by time, and a memory of whether she wanted to be a heiress or a huntress or both.
Noctis also entered and took a look around the room. "Mom, the bunk bed looks like its going to fall apart any moment." He remarked.
"Fall apart? That thing has been holding up for many months." Yang retorted.
"Rrright." The prince said looking at the upper bed being held up by rope and enhanced with hopes and prayers. Not that the other one was better considering it was all books holding it up.
The crown prince of Lucis looked at his mother staring at several same white dress and jacket, the design looking rather familiar but he couldn't place why. Looking around a bit he saw lot of his mother's old stuff were white, even the smallest and insignificant stuff were all white. The dress did look familiar before Noctis remembered seeing old photos of his mom wearing the exact and modified clothes.
"You sure did love white mom." Noctis muttered.
"White was the color of the Schnee family, and my favorite color. Though after becoming part of Lucis and queen i adopted black. White reminded the people of the Empire, and wearing too much wasn't exactly a good idea." Weiss replied.
"And you really loved that dress, but is fighting in a skirt a good idea?" Noctis questioned.
"Combat skirts!" Weiss and Ruby shouted – the latter barging out of the bathroom when she heard the comment.
'Combat skirts? What's next tactical heels?' Noctis rolled his eyes.
"Oh hi Weiss and Noctis!" Ruby greeted.
"Hi." Noctis said.
"Good to see you Ruby. The room never changed when I left, then again I was only gone for few days at Remnant." Weiss said smiling at Ruby.
"Well it must be very weird for you right now. Lot of years passing and not a single thing changed for you." Ruby said.
"Hey, what's the commotion there?" Ruby heard Nora speaking out as she approached their room. When she was at the door and looked inside to see Weiss she gasped. "Oh my! Weissy is back, gotta tell the others!" Nora exclaimed zooming back to her room.
"I was hoping we would do reunion later." Ruby groaned. "I wanted to make it a big surprise."
"What do you think is going to be vomit boy's reaction to her?" Yang eagerly whispered to Blake.
"Who?" A confused Weiss asked Yang.
"You know, Arc? Jaune, the guy who's trying to ask you out." Yang reminded, surprised that Weiss forgot him.
Hearing the last few words got Noctis's attention as he snapped his head at his mom's face. Noctis wasn't sure but he didn't like the implication of someone trying to ask his mom out, even when it happened before she married dad. He wouldn't admit it to a lot of people but he was protective of his mom, be it from physical or non-physical, just that he really didn't show it overtly.
It was then Nora brought the rest of team JNPR to RWBY's dorm, disoriented and confused at the sudden speed there were taken. Jaune was still dressed in his onsies which nearly made Noctis burst out laughing; Pyrrha was finished dressed in her uniform; and Ren still in his boxers with a towl around his neck.
"Nora, why did you bring us here?" Ren calmly asked.
"Look! Weiss is back!" Nora shouted as she took Jaune's head and pointed his face at where Weiss was standing at.
"Weiss, you're back!" Jaune cried in relief.
"It's good to see you safe." Pyrrha said. "Though where have you been?"
Ren narrowed his eyes in observation at Weiss's appearance, noting the change in outfit and color from white to black. Looking at her face Ren noticed she has few subtle wrinkles that weren't there before and the changes in her facial features – looking more… Older. He turned to look at the other occupant he noticed now, nearly tall as Jaune but dressed in black shirt and pants with a short dark jacket over it. The most interesting trait was a single bang of hair that was white in contrast to his black hair.
"Weiss, who is he?" Ren asked looking at Noctis.
Before Weiss, Blake or Ruby could say something first, Yang decided already blurt out the answer. "Oh him, he's Weissy's son." Her tone nonchalant.
"Yang! That was going to be a surprise." Ruby hissed at her sister.
"Wow Jaune, looks like someone else got to Weiss before you did!" Nora exclaimed.
Noctis for some reason thought he was seeing rain clouds gathering around the despondent blond guy. And the redhead having this somewhat creepy smile forming on her face.
