Weiss' first month of school was slow and stressful, she only had time to play Beacon of Remnants during the evenings on school days and on most weekends. This made of course made Crescent only value Weiss's time in the virtual world even more. however, today was a typical Friday for Weiss. That is, until Mr. Ozpin called her into his office after her last class of the day.
'what would the principal want with me? I haven't done anything wrong, so I'm clearly not in any trouble…right?' Weiss had the best grades in the school, straight A's and perfect attendance. Once she made it to the Principal's office, she was just about to knock on the door until she heard that someone else was already inside with Mr. Ozpin. "I understand your predicament but it's not very wise to get zeroes on all your assignments in all your classes." Ozpin sounded concerned yet also stern nevertheless. "well, maybe I don't want to be wise…" a second voice that Weiss didn't recognize responded to Ozpin, it was a bit high in pitch but somehow sounded depressed and obviously a girl's voice. Ozpin's voice was heard again. "You had amazing grades just last year, though not as good as they were two years ago, but still great none the less. I am deeply disappointed that such a great student has changed so much in such little time, especially one that got to skip two grades because of-"
"Miss Schnee, it's not polite to eavesdrop." A stern feminine voice bought Weiss to attention. Miss. Goodwitch, the school counselor, was standing behind her with a clipboard pressed to her chest and a neutral yet stern expression on her face. The older woman wore a white blouse and a typical, black office skirt.
"Sorry, Miss Goodwitch." Weiss stated, standing to the side of the door. Weiss didn't dare to argue with the notoriously strict woman.
"It's fine, let's go inside shall we?" Miss Goodwitch opened the door and led a hesitant Weiss inside. 'why am I going in too? I thought Mr. Ozpin was busy with someone else?' Weiss was even more confused with the situation now, just what the hell was going on? After walking through the doorway, Weiss's eyes were immediately drawn to the person Ozpin had been talking to. A girl with long and messy black hair. She was wearing a baggy red hoodie and grey sweatpants. The most shocking part, however, was that the girl was in a wheelchair. Weiss took her seat in a chair on the girl's left side. The girl's black hair framed her face in such a way that made it difficult to see her face from the sides. Weiss didn't recognize her but felt she probably saw her a few times in the hallways of the large school.
"Glad to finally have you join us, Miss Schnee." Ozpin welcomed Weiss and Goodwitch with a stoic smile. Weiss quickly shifted her attention to Mr. Ozpin, not wanting to be caught staring at the wheelchair the girl was sitting in.
"You called me here, Sir?" Weiss asked, still unsure of what is going on.
Ozpin was quick to the point after taking a sip of hot chocolate. "Miss Schnee, this is Ruby Rose. She has been failing her classes lately and needs a tutor."
Weiss's brain finally put everything together in an instant. It wasn't the first time she had tutored someone, but that didn't mean she enjoyed it. "I take it that you want me to be that tutor?" Weiss asked in her Schnee patented confident and eloquent voice.
"Right, I'd like you to tutor Ruby after school starting Monday." Ozpin explained nonchalantly, taking sips of his hot chocolate in-between their conversation. Wiess couldn't remember a single time he wasn't drinking from his signature mug.
Weiss was about to speak, but Ruby Rose beat her to the punch. "I don't need a tutor; I know how to do the work, I just choose not too…" Ruby sounded angry but remained using her soft voice nonetheless. Weiss thought the voice could be cute if it didn't sound so depressed. In the corner of her eye, Weiss saw Miss Goodwitch writing on her clipboard as soon as Ruby finished speaking.
Ozpin took a long sip of his drink before speaking up. "I'm afraid it's not negotiable Miss Rose, Weiss Schnee will tutor you. How you two go about that is up to the both of you. However, Miss Goodwitch will be checking up on your progress each Friday." Ruby simply crossed her arms in a pout with her face turned slightly toward Weiss, Weiss finally saw the girl's face. Ruby had pale skin, her face was round and smooth. Her eyes were a deep silver that looked like they could stare directly into your soul. Of course, Ruby noticed Weiss' staring and immediately turned her head away. "d-don't stare…" Ruby quietly mumbled her words, barely being registered by the teachers.
'is she blushing? oh my good she is! That's so adorable!...damn it, no! why are you always like this!? First Crescent and now this girl? Get a grip, girl!' Weiss shook her head and switched her attention to Mr. Ozpin. "So, I guess I don't have a choice in the matter either then?" it was more of a statement than a question.
"I'm afraid not, I can't think of anyone better than you, Miss Schnee." Ozpin knew just what words to say to the prideful Weiss Schnee. Weiss would never back away from a challenge, especially if it meant helping a fellow student or making a new friend and by the gods, she really needed more than one friend other than Pyrrha…Pyrrha was the only student in the school to look past Weiss' cold exterior to find that Weiss' just didn't know how to properly talk to people without resorting to her patented Schnee façade of superiority.
Weiss got up from her chair, turning to face Ruby. "Well, that's that…I look forward to tutoring you Monday. I hope we can get along Miss Rose." Weiss tried her best to sound formal but still friendly, stretching out her hand. Ruby had other ideas though and simply turned her wheelchair around and proceeded to the door. "whatever, I'll see you Monday…" Ruby grumbled, not bothering to hide the anger in her quiet voice. And with that, Ruby had left. Weiss gave the two teachers her farewells and made her way out of the school. Awaiting her was a black limo, with Klein holding a door open for her. "thank you Klein." Weiss always gave Klein her most genuine smile.
After arriving home, Weiss was immediately greeted by her brother. "well, you're unusually late, Sister." Whitley stated, not taking his eyes off his homework. Weiss ignored him and made her way to her room; it was a rare kind of Friday in that she had no homework, the fruits of her effort. Weiss prided herself in getting as much work done as possible before the weekends, giving herself as much free time as possible. Upon entering her room, she locked the door and threw her backpack to the side. She recalled the events of the day, leading her to the event that decided to limit her time online even more. "looks like I may only get to go online during the weekends now...damn it, Ozpin. Why do I have to tutor someone who doesn't need it. I heard you praise that girl for crying out loud" Weiss jumped onto her bed, landing on her back. "I hope Crescent doesn't mind my limited time…" Weiss laid on her bed for a good few minutes with her thoughts before getting up quickly. "alright, time to relieve some stress." Weiss chirped with an excited smile growing on her face. She quickly changed into the tight, black FRVR suit and get into bed. After securing the helmet to her head, she dived into the wonderful world of Beacon of Remnants.
Weiss spawned in the Inn that her guild had used as their usual hang out. Suddenly, a party invite popped up the second she was online, along with a message. It was from Crescent. 'wait, was she waiting for my status to go online up until now? Not sure if I should find that cute or creepy'. Weiss accepted the invite and read the message that told her to meet Crescent at the Grand Plaza, the same one where they first met.
Weiss took her time to walk to the Grand Plaza of Vytal City. It was as crowded as ever, banners hung from the buildings reminding people of the upcoming Halloween event starting next month. Weiss however never really celebrated holidays, her family only 'celebrated' Christmas as an excuse to throw formal parties with friends of the family and business partners of her father's company, the Schnee Dynamo Corporation. The company produced electricity for many cities and had several contracts with the military to design the electrical components for many of its weapons and equipment. Once Weiss made it to the grand Plaza, she quickly noticed how crowded it was. She couldn't see Crescent anywhere, so she waited by the large marble fountain in hopes that Crescent would think to find her there.
A few minutes pass as she stood with her arms crossed, tapping her foot, completely unaware of the danger she was about to face. "Crescent Glomp!" a loud shout filled her ears as she was tackled to the ground by a girl in a red cape who wrapped Weiss in a bear hug. Weiss shrieked as she and her assailant flew and landed ten feet from where she was just standing. "Crescent, what do you think you're doing?!" Weiss cried out, trying to squirm her way out of Crescents bear hug. Crescent had her in a vice grip as she nestled her head in Weiss shoulder. "Sorry Myrtenaster, but I always wanted to do that!" Crescent Chirped, satisfied with her successful attack on the blue haired mage. Weiss immediately felt the stares of onlookers that filled the Grand Plaza, causing her to blush. 'I swear, this girl makes me blush on purpose just to tease me!' Weiss finally got her left arm free and tried to push Crescent off of her, failing miserably. "C-Crescent, please. P-People are starting to stare." Weiss pleaded, she was never this close to Crescent before and the black short hair of Crescent was brushing against her neck as she brushed her face against Weiss. "Nope, we barely saw each other all week and I had a bad day today and want to blow off some steam." Crescent stated in a cheery voice which quickly turned to a much annoyed one once she stated she had a bad day. A few more seconds of crushing Weiss's ribs, Crescent finally released Weiss. As both girls stood up, a loud and boisterous voice filled the plaza.
"Hey, why don't I get any bear hugs!" a girl with short pink hair shouted, faking a surprised face. The girl wore pink plate armor over her torso and arms with a black tunic underneath, completed with a short pink skirt and knee high boots that had metal plates to protect her shins. She also Wielded a large warhammer that had a pink heart-shaped gem on the head of the warhammer.
"Sorry Boop, but Myrtenaster got here first." Crescent chirped as she led Weiss over to the energetic Pink haired girl. Boop Flowerpower wasn't always online due to having college courses and a part time Job, so Weiss doesn't know her too well. Most of the time Boop was online on Saturdays at the same time as Ren. "I take it Ren is at work as usual?" Crescent asked
"Yep, looks like it's just us girls today!" Boop cheered, wrapping her arms around Weiss' and Crescent's shoulders. "nice to see you again Myrtenaster, it's rare to see you online so early"
"nice to see you to, Boop." Weiss removed Boop's arm from her shoulder. "So Crescent, I take it you invited Me and Boop in a party to 'blow off some steam'?" Weiss asked, quoting Crescent's earlier statement.
"yep, had a bad day at school and I just really want to slay some goblins." Crescent spoke with an out of place annoyed voice.
Weiss didn't think much of the uncharacteristic tone that Crescent used. "speaking of school, looks like I won't be able to come online on weekdays anymore, Sorry Crescent." Weiss didn't want to break the bad news on her cute sword wielding friend and expected to be pulled into a bear hug again. But Crescent's reaction was unexpected.
"Don't worry, looks like neglecting my homework has come to bite me in the ass. I won't be online on the weekdays either anymore…." Crescent grumbled, it was rare to see her in a bad mood, let alone hear her swear. "So, are you girls ready to raid a dungeon filled with goblins?!" Crescent Cheered with a fist in the air and her cape fluttering in the breeze.
Weiss was a bit taken aback by Crescent's complete 180 in character. "R-Right, as long as there are no slimes, I'm in." Weiss reluctantly decided to just go with the flow for now and try to cheer up Crescent. Boop simply cheered with Crescent. "Count me in, Little Red!"
With Crescent leading the way, the 3 girls walked out of the City and made their way to a large forest named Forever Fall. This Forest looked as if a god merely painted all plant life in the forest various shades of red, even the grass that covered the forest floor was a deep red. The trees' trunks and roots remained a natural brown though. As the girls walked along a cobblestone path, they made idle chit-chat with Boop being the first to speak.
Boop walked beside Weiss with her hands behind her head. "Hey Myrtenaster, how has your week been? I barely get to see ya since school started." Boop asked.
However, Weiss appeared to be distracted by Crescent who was walking ahead of them but was snapped out of her thoughts thanks to the pink haired warrior. "huh? O-Oh, s-sorry. I, um, got lost in my own thoughts." Weiss internally cursed herself for being distracted by Crescent's swaying hips. "W-What were you saying, Boop?" Weiss tried her hardest not to blush, failing miserably.
Boop just laughed at Weiss' flustered face and wrapped her arm around the blue haired girl's shoulders and began to tease her with a knowing look. "forget what I was saying, looks like whatever kind of thoughts you were having certainly made you as red as a tomato, Myrtenaster. Almost like you were daydreaming about a certain someone." Boop whispered, giving a quick glance towards Crescent, signaling to Weiss that she knows what Weiss was staring at.
Weiss went wide eyed at the Pink haired girl's accusation, her whole face turning Crimson with a searing heat that rivaled the sun. "W-W-What!? How do yo-" she was interrupted by Boop answering her question before she could even ask it.
"been there, done that. Plus, you look exactly like me when I ever I catch myself thinking of Ren." Boop quickly removed her arm from Myrtenaster's personal space. "Hey Crescent, how much farther from this Dungeon? My Magnhild is itching to break some legs."
Crescent looked over her shoulder to answer. "almost there, should be just around the corner." Sure enough, it was quite literally just around the corner in the bend of the road they walked on. As the girls entered the Dungeon, they experienced a cold chill. The dungeon looked ancient with stone pillars holding up the high ceiling that disappeared in the darkness above. The floor was cluttered with the occasional human skeleton and rusty weapons. Bright torches lined the stone walls, revealing moss and vines growing out from between the stone bricks. A few seconds after they enter, Goblins begin to spawn. The Goblins were about two feet tall, wore loincloths and carried clubs and spears. "I love this Dungeon, it's nothing but hordes of goblins with no boss to worry about! You ready to kick some ugly goblin ass, Myrtenaster?" Crescent once again swore as she pullout out her giant sword from underneath her crimson cape. Weiss was starting to get concerned about Crescent since she has never heard the girl swear once for the whole month she knew her and now she had done it twice within a fifteen minute time span? Something was up with Crescent and Weiss decided to ask about it later, after they slay the oncoming goblin hoard. "Ready as I'll ever be, Crescent." Weiss Declared as she readied her staff.
"It's about time! Magnhild can finally break some bones!" Boop Roared with excitement in her voice as she readied her warhammer with a twirl.
Crescent was the first to jump into the fray, charging into a group of goblins at incredible speeds "Myrtenaster, you watch my back!" Crescent Commanded as she swung her sword across her front, killing five goblins in one sweep. "Boop, you make sure none of the goblins get near Myrtenaster." While Crescent was jumping and dashing from mob to mob, Weiss summoned a blue magic circle that floated just to her left and began firing ice shards at any stray goblins that dared to ambush Crescent. The goblins were easy to kill, dying in just one hit from any of the girls' attacks. Weiss was always amazed at how fast Crescent could move despite being a Warrior, let alone wielding such a large sword.
"Hey Boop, Crescent certainly is fast for a Warrior Role. Aren't Warriors usually tanks or something?" Weiss hollered towards Boop, never stopping her barrage of ice shards that skewered goblins to the stone walls and pillars.
Boop swung her warhammer with ease, smashing and bashing away any stray goblins in a vicinity around Weiss. "Well yeah, Warriors usually focus on strength and endurance only" Boop said as she crushed a goblins legs at the knees. "but she was quite adamant on maxing out her agility stat despite warriors never really using it." A stray goblin attempted to lunged at Myrtenaster, but Boop was quick to react, sending it flying into a pillar with the force of a wrecking ball. "Her excuse was that she REALLY likes running."
Weiss just rolled her eyes as she watched Crescent leap in between pillars, killing goblins left and right as she flew past them. "that sounds like our Crescent alright, always so full of energy."
"you know I can hear you two!" Ruby hollered at her gossiping guildmates.
"we know!" the pink and blue haired girls shouted in unison.
The goblins were relentless but were easily dispatched, a little too easily for Crescent. "Don't take this the wrong way, Myrtenaster, but this dungeon was a lot more fun when we didn't have a mage…" Crescent deadpanned, twirling her sword around her fingers as the three girls walked through the gate of Vytal City. "though, last time I was there, I was like five to ten levels lower, so that's maybe the reason why it's no fun anymore."
"None taken, Crescent. If it makes you feel any better, I found it to be too easy myself." Weiss was only disappointed that Crescent's mood didn't seem that much better than before.
Boop chimed in. "well, I still had some fun! I'm gonna go over to the Grand Plaza to sell all this loot, be back in a minute." Boop began running in the direction of the Grand Plaza, leaving Weiss and Crescent alone in the city streets. Weiss took this opportunity to talk to Crescent about her sour mood. "So….Crescent, do you want to talk abo-" Crescent quickly cut her off. "No…I won't talk about it…" Crescent stated, still twirling her sword with a bored expression on her face. Weiss felt hurt at the Crimsonette's words, so quick to block off any help. "Crescent, I'm only trying to help. I know you don't like talking about your life outside the game…but you can always rely on me." Weiss pleaded, refusing to give up on her friend. Crescent however only stopped in her tracks as she finally stopped twirling her giant sword.
"well, what if I don't want to rely on people…" Crescent became quiet, almost sounding depressed which gave Weiss a strange sense of Déjà Vu. Weiss was about to open her mouth to respond but was cut off by Crescent again. "and I thought you of all people would understand why I don't talk about life outside the game…" Weiss had no response; she wasn't expecting the crimsonette to be so sullen about this whole thing. Weiss began to look at her own feet.
"I…I'm sorry Crescent, I didn't mean to pry into your personal life." Weiss didn't want to ruin her new friendship with Crescent after only knowing her for a month, she was her only friend other than Pyrrha.
Crescent took a deep breath and sheathed her sword. "no, I should be apologizing….I shouldn't have let my problems in the real world get in the way of us having a good time." Crescent said. Just then, Boop came back from selling her loot with Pyrrha in tow.
"look who finally came online!" Boop hollered.
Weiss saw Crescent grow a devilish smile at the sight of Boop. The last time Weiss saw that smile, Crescent thought it was a good idea to lead Weiss into a dungeon full of hundreds of slime monsters without telling her. Weiss still gets shivers every time she remembers that horrible dungeon.
"Hey Boop, I just thought of an idea." Crescent chirped as she looked at Boop with a confident smile. "I challenge you to a duel, whoever loses has to wear whatever costume the winner tells them to wear for the Halloween event next month. All. Month. Long."
Boop simply grew her own smug smile. "Oh you are so going down, little red! I already got the perfect costume in mind for you."
Pyrrha stood by Weiss who was in the process of facepalming. "Well, this should be entertaining." Pyrrha said with a nervous smile
"At least Crescent doesn't seem to be in a bad mood anymore." Weiss admitted
The four girls made their way to the Arena, modeled after the Roman Coliseum. Pyrrha and Weiss sat in the empty stands, ready to watch Crescent and Boop fight in the center of the arena. As the two girls below fought for the other's humiliation, Weiss and Pyrrha made small talk. "I've been wondering, why does everyone in the guild use your real name? isn't that kind of weird?" Weiss asked, wincing as she watched Boop's hammer sends Crescent flying into the wall on the other side of the Arena, it looked extremely painful despite not being able to feel pain in game.
"oh, well, long story short everyone got tired of calling me TheInvincibleGirl." Pyrrha smiled as she remembered the event. "they claimed it felt weird calling me by what sounds like a title, so I just told them to use my real name." Weiss simply nodded, that sounded like something Pyrrha would do. "but now enough about me, I heard you'll be tutoring Ruby from my English class."
"mhmm." Weiss hummed in response, barely registering what Pyrrha had just said. "wait, what? How did you know I was-" Pyrrha decided to cut her off to answer the question before Weiss could even finish. Weiss was starting to get annoyed at how often this was happening today.
"I may have been the one who suggested you for tutoring her, sorry." Pyrrha played with her ponytail as she spoke. Just before Weiss could ask more questions, Pyrrha was already answering them. "I have Ruby in my English class; we sit at the same table and she is always either sleeping in class or doodling in her notebooks. Sadly though, she seems to always be nervous when I talk to her, almost as if she really, REALLY wanted to avoid me…" Pyrrha's face had a mix of disappointment and confusion as she remembered the few times she tried to befriend her mysterious classmate.
"huh…so I take it that you know just as much about her as I do, then?" Weiss asked, never taking her eyes off the duel below them, Crescent was putting up a good fight against Boop, but Boop was quite a few more levels higher than Crescent, which was just enough to have the upper hand against her.
Pyrrha shook her head. "nope." Weiss was disappointed, if she could just learn a few things about this Ruby girl, maybe it would be easier to tutor her. But Weiss knew that Ruby's reclusive and stubborn personality is going to make things difficult. However, an idea popped into her head. Maybe she could…"Pyrrha, your English class is before lunch, correct?" Weiss diverted her attention away from the duel below and looked at Pyrrha who simply nodded.
"that's correct. Why do you ask?" Pyrrha had a look of confusion at what she assumed was a random question.
"you're going to invite her to eat with us at lunch on Monday." Weiss stated it as if he had been an order rather than a request.
Before Pyrrha could respond, Crescent came flying into the stands in a blur of black and red and crash landed right between Weiss and Pyrrha, followed by the in-game announcer's loud and dramatic voice. "Crescent defeated! Boop wins!" Weiss and Pyrrha didn't even have time to process what just happened before Crescent quickly shot up, raising her giant sword at Boop. "I call a rematch!" Weiss only giggled at the unsatisfied sword wielder. Over the month of knowing the girl, one of the first things Weiss learned was that Crescent was a bit of a sore loser when it came to competition.
"No can do Little Red! We agreed that it would be winner take all, no take backs!" Boop yelled from below in the stadium. "and now you gotta wear whatever I tell you to wear during the Halloween event! No buts!"
Crescent sighed in defeat as she sheathed her sword and proceeded to collapse on her butt between Weiss and Pyrrha. "stupid bet…" Crescent grumbled to herself as she crossed her arms in a pout, earning a weird look from Weiss while also giving Weiss another sense of déjà vu.
'why do I keep feeling like I've seen this before…yet I can't remember any time I've seen Crescent this troubled.' Weiss' thoughts were cut short by a uncomfortable sounding Crescent. "M-Myrtenaster, you can stop the weird staring now. Kinda weirding me out."
Weiss quickly drew her eyes away from Crescent. "S-Sorry, I was deep in thought." Crescent visibly became more comfortable in response while Weiss resorted to using her peripheral vision to continue looking at the crimsonette. 'since when did she get so easily uncomfortable around people? Maybe I was staring at her weirdly, yeah that's it!...right?'
"So what were two talking about up here during my duel with Crescent?" Boop chimed in after making her way to the rest of the girls. "I noticed you two barely paid attention to our little fight."
"Not much, just talking about our school life. Myrtenaster will be tutoring someone, which will prevent her coming online during the weekdays now." Pyrrha stated nonchalantly, but Weiss was uncomfortable with how much of her personal life Pyrrha was revealing.
Boop sat next to Weiss, completely blocking her in between Boop and Crescent. "So that's why you're gonna be so busy!" Boop was as loud as ever, Weiss thought. "you must be quite the smart cookie, Myrtenaster!"
"W-Well, I may or may not get straight A's in all my courses…" Weiss struggled inside to decide how much she should say. "it's no big deal though, most of our fun happens on the weekends anyway." In the corner of Weiss' eye, she saw Crescent slowly stand up.
"I'm gonna go ahead and log off, it's getting late and I need to start getting more sleep anyway." Crescent was once against sounding quite out of character with her quiet voice, Weiss felt like she was looking at a kicked puppy. "anyways, I'll see you guys tomorrow." Crescent logged off the second she finished her sentence.
Boop looked at Pyrrha with concern written all over her face. "do you think she's doing ok? Crescent has been acting kind of weird ever since the school year started, I can't help but feel worried for the little girl." Little? How old is Crescent? Weiss never really thought about the Crimsonette's age.
"what do you mean by little?" Weiss began asking before she even realized she started.
Boop quickly waved her hands in front of her. "did I say little? I meant younger since I, um, I'm older, you know? I said it out of habit, hahaha" Boop was clearly hiding something, Weiss could tell that much. However, Pyrrha chimed in before Weiss could question the pinked haired brute.
"Right, well…I'm sure she is fine, probably just a bit disappointed that she isn't going to be able to see us all that much anymore." Weiss simply nodded at that, maybe she was just over thinking things.
Boop summon the menu interface and went wide eyed. "well look at the time, Ren should be off work by now. I'm gonna log off and treat my man with my signature pancakes! See you guys later!" with that, Boop logged off as well, not even bothering to hear her friends say goodbye. Now only Pyrrha and Weiss remained in the coliseum. Weiss was about to speak up, but Pyrrha beat her to the punch. Again.
"So, back to our earlier conversation…you want me to invite Ruby to lunch?" Pyrrha asked. "I mean, I can try but the girl isn't exactly the easiest person to talk to."
Weiss simply nodded, she need to talk to this mysterious girl before the tutoring session so she could help tutor her better. Plus, it was the perfect opportunity to practice what Pyrrha has been helping her with over the last year. "I need to talk to her about our study plan and I have no classes with her, leaving me to rely on you as a liaison between me and Ruby."
"alright Weiss, you can leave it to me." Pyrrha gave off her signature confident smile and aura as she spoke. Weiss was glad to have such a reliable friend. "anyways, Boop and Crescent may have the right idea. It is getting pretty late."
Weiss summoned the menu interface to check the time, it was already 9:23pm. She missed dinner with her family, but she doesn't care. Weiss never enjoyed eating with them anyways. "Agreed, I haven't eaten anything since lunch today. I'll see you tomorrow then?"
"right, I should be free all weekend this time. The track team doesn't have any events for the next couple of weeks." Pyrrha let out a sigh of relief as she spoke, her track team has been busy with try outs and scheduling events along with practice, typical first month of school routine. The girls gave their farewells and logged off at the same time. Weiss was brought back to her room in the real world and quickly changed into her white nightgown and left her room to find the kitchen for a quick meal before going to bed. The mansion was quiet with only dim lights to fight off the darkness. As Weiss walked the large hallways, she couldn't help but think about how Crescent was acting today. However, her thoughts didn't lead anywhere as she barely had any concrete information to work with. Once she made it to the kitchen she found her brother Whitley making himself a sandwich in his ice blue pajamas. "Whitley? What are you doing here?"
Whitely didn't take his eyes off his task of spreading jelly over a slice of bread. "last I checked, I live in this home too, sister." Weiss was about to respond but once again, she was beaten to the punch. She was starting to really get pissed by that. "you missed dinner. Father wasn't too happy about that." Weiss grimaced at the thought of her father being…unhappy.
"yeah well, I do have my own life and besides, I had plenty to eat at school." Weiss said as she grabbed her own slices of bread to make her own sandwiches, standing to the right of her brother. The two siblings finished making their sandwiches in silence. Whitely and Weiss weren't exactly the friendliest of Siblings but didn't hate each other either. They simply didn't spend much time together as a family, something that the whole family seems to agree on not doing. Finally, Whitely completed his fourth peanut butter and jelly sandwich and made his way to the door, stopping just before leaving the room.
"You know Weiss, this past month you've been locking yourself in your room after school nearly every day…sooner or later, father is going to confront you on that. Just thought I'd warn you." Whitely left before Weiss could even respond. Weiss was finally alone in the kitchen, just what she wanted in her already lonely home. After Weiss made her own PBJ, she ate in peace at the dining room table. Once she was feeling full, she put the dishes away and made her way back to her room, thinking of how to explain to her father that she will be coming home late starting Monday. "Guess I'll just be blunt about it when I talk to him tomorrow..." before she even realized it, she was in her room already under the blankets of her bed and quickly fell asleep.
