A few days later, Yang and Ruby were waiting for their father to show up at the main connection point of the school for airships.

"Dad's really happy that he gets to see you, Ruby, he missed you a lot these past few years," said Yang.

"Sure he is," said Ruby with a stone cold expression while looking right in front of her.

"Why do you always act like this, dad loves you," said Yang while forcing her younger sister to look at her.

"He loves you more, seeing how he always trained you but left me to be trained by that drunk uncle of ours," said Ruby.

"You love Uncle Qrow though, and your chosen weapon was a scythe like him, so dad's techniques wouldn't have worked for you," said Yang.

"Yeah, but I still wanted dad to teach me some hand to hand fighting, you can't always trust that you'll keep your weapon in a fight!" said Ruby.

"You're right," said Taiyang as he walked up to the two of them.

"And I'm sorry that I never thought of that before, Ruby," said Taiyang as he bowed his head to her.

"It's too late for apologies," said Ruby as she turned around in time to see Weiss walking with her father. As Weiss was walking, she tripped over a broken piece of pavement stone and was about to hit the ground when Ruby zoomed over and caught her.

"Essay there, princess, wouldn't want you getting hurt now would we?" asked Ruby as she held onto her.

"Who… who said I needed your help?" asked Weiss as she straightened her posture while blushing slightly.

"Why did I even bother to break her fall?" thought Ruby who instantly started to regret it but did not understand her own reason for doing so in the first place.

"Weiss, who is this girl?" asked Mr. Schnee.

"This is Ruby Rose, my team leader, and the absolute dolt that I've told you about," said Weiss.

"Now I really regret it," thought Ruby as she glared at Weiss.

"There you are," said Winter as she walked up to them.

"I've been looking all over… for..," said Winter as she noticed Ruby, a worried expression growing on her face.

"Well, I guess this is a real small world," said Ruby as she looked at Winter with an evil smile.

"It's been what, a month since we met last, Winter?" she asked.
