(Sera) Hey guys, we back with another chapter. You can probably blame me again...but I've been too drunk or busy to know if I am to blame.

Anyway, new chap finally. We might get a new chibisode out soon. We are arguing about what to do though. Send suggestions!

Also, yes, I'm not too impaired for once to leave an A/N...summer paychecks are lean so less beer or alcohol than usual.

Few weeks later

Hospital Room

"So the gigantic slash across my back is their forever," Ruby looked at Peach with a mix of emotions.

"I'm sorry sweetie, but yes," Peach looked up from her scroll noticing the pout Ruby had. "You could look on the bright side, some brutes find them attractive."

Neo nodded vigorously at that.

"Can't you just do some surgery to remove it?" Ruby whined, much to Neo's horror.

"NoPe, Raven would kill me if anything wrong happened," 'or right,' Peach turned away trying to suppress her fear.

"Oh , then, can we leave now?" Ruby asked dejectedly as Neo gingerly patted her uninjured shoulder.

"Actually, yes. And please, next time, you try and save someone use your semblance," Peach mumbled the last part to herself. Ruby after hearing the confirmation dashed off.

CFVY Dorm

Ruby unlocked the door only to be blinded by a flash of light, "MY EYES!"

Velvet glared at the photo of Neo laughing. Coco turned to Ruby and shoved a bunch of clothes into her hands "Don't just stand there put this on and get ready." Coco turned back to Velvet as they set up the next shot

Ruby pouted, "Why do we need to do this again?"

Coco looked back "Two reasons. One because both of you owe us." Ruby opened her mouth but Coco placed her finger over her mouth. "Two, you are adorable enough to sell out my entire closet in 3 hours."

``But why would you want to get rid of your clothes,' Neo put up a sign after copying a designer turtleneck

"She believes she can get new clothes for free if she uses you two as models," Yatsuhashi replied his eyes never leaving his book. It should be noted that this book had a green cover, not the orange one that Coco read.

Coco gave a pompous scoff, "For your information Yatsuhashi my idea, if it works, will benefit all of us."

"How exactly," Fox took off his earphones and gave Coco a deadpan look.

"Simple, I get my discount," Coco pointed at Velvet, "our dear Velvet get to show of her photography skills to the world," Coco turned to the two boys "You two get funds for your stuff, whatever that is" Coco flailed her arms about as she said that.

"So essentially, we are just supposed to stand around and look pretty," Ruby looked towards Neo as their line of sight connected.

"Yep pretty much…, So we are totally gonna mess this up, right?" Ruby and Neo smiled at each other.

The smiles lessened when they saw all eyes on them except for Coco's, "What?"

"You going to let us in on whatever devious plan is brewing between you?" Fox asked.

Ruby and Neo pouted to each other before Ruby spoke up, "You know, the link is no fun when people know we are using it."

Fox shrugged, "we were going to ask if we could help."

Both girls stared incredulously at the older teens, "I thought Coco was your leader."

All of them glanced at Coco, who was laughing maniacally while looking at her scroll.

Velvet sighed, "Yeah, we need to curb that now, before anyone else is sacrificed to that."

"Wait, why was I sacrificed then?" Ruby balked.

Velvet shrugged, "You do look great in that dress."

Ruby looked down at the attire that was forced upon her (imagine the female uniform from Irregular at Magic High School, but in reds and silvers). "Fine, I'll give you that, but I could have done without the handiness," Ruby harrumphed.

"Coco got handsy with you?" Yatsu asked with a not so small amount of concern.

"It wasn't Coco," Ruby growled as she glared at Neo, who was looking away innocently.

Velvet just groaned at the two, who still seemed clueless about how head over heals they were for each other.

Ozpin's tower

"So why are you sending me to Mystral again," Amber looked at Ozpin waiting for an answer.

"Lionheart has been getting nervous claiming someone is trying to get information out of him," Ozpin moved showing the text messages between the two. "I think it's just paranoia but any breach in security could end in the capture.

"And your sending me, why?" Amber crossed her arms.

"For some reason Qro-"

"Rapist," Amber replied with a small smile as Ozpin rolled his eyes.

"Qrow has decided to take a break and the last message I got from him was 'Ozpin I am now on leave don't send me anything and if you do I will not replied', I also can't send Raven or Glynda because of their classes."

"And sending Ruby and Neo is you signing a death warrant, yea yea I get it," Amber sighed. She hated this, but she'd never send those two into harm's way. Not after Ruby got hurt. "Okay so when am I leaving,"

"Next week be prepared for anything," Ozpin took a sip of his coffee noticing Amber leaving "and one more thing don't die, Ruby and Neo would kill me if you got hurt while following orders,"

Amber had a small smile as she walked to the elevator

Cafe in downtown Vale

Glynda POV

Glynda sat at her table in her favorite cafe, sipping a Mistrali blend coffee. A smile on her face as she stirred the coffee, letting the aroma of the cafe and the whirlpool in the cup keeping her in a small trans. Fortunately or unfortunately, her trance was broken as a pair of hands covered her eyes.

Glynda normally would have thrown her coffee into the person's face and sent them sailing out the window. But she knew the perfume coming from them, and so she simply smiled. "Hey, love, you're late."

"I had to get away from work. You know how they are, especially Adam. If I'm not there, they will literally kill someone," Sienna responded tiredly and leaned in so she could fully embrace her lover.

"Ah, so same as usual then, I'm sorry," Glynda sighed, "Take a seat, I'll order your favorite and we can talk about your day more."

Sienna smiled and gave Glynda a final squeeze before taking her seat. "Can we actually talk about your day first? My day was just planning the next protest rally and making sure Adam didn't turn it into another riot."

Glynda shrugged and signaled the waiter to deliver another coffee, "My day was pretty standard. Chase Ruby and Neo around until a freshman team grabbed them. Besides that, got ready for classes."

Sienna stared wistfully at Glynda as her coffee arrived, which confused Glynda a bit. "Yes, Love?"

"Nothing, just staring at the most beautiful piece of art on Remnant," Sienna purred.

Glynda just shook her head lightly, "Flattery will get you everywhere with me."

"I know, it's why I do it so much," Sienna grinned cheekily.

"Anyway, back to your day, you said there was going to be another protest?" the blonde questioned.

Sienna pouted and whined, "But I don't want to talk about my day."

"Don't whine, it's unbecoming of an adult, now spit out the details on this protest," Glynda shot back, making Sienna pout more.

"It's unfair how sexy you are when you act like that."

"Stop avoiding, Sienna."

Sienna let out a defeated sigh, "Fine. We're doing a protest in downtown Vale in two weeks. We got the permits after greasing some palms and now we're waiting on people to commit."

"So all the logistics are taken care? And you'll have drinks and snacks for everyone?" Glynda asked between sips.

Sienna looked a bit indignant, "Yes logistics are taken care of, and no because this is not some football game."

"I see, and I guess I can concede that point. You did deliver all the relevant information to everyone who needs it?" Glynda responded.

"Of course, we're just getting locals so we printed fliers."

"And they were passed out, correct?"

"I left that to the local members, so they are being passed out as we speak. I promise I did everything right baby, I have been doing this for years." Sienna said confidently.

"I know, Love, I just want to make sure. You know I just want you to succeed," Glynda said softly.

Sienna smiled broadly at that, "and that's why I fell in love with you, 'cause you always support me."

"And here I thought it was just my shapely posterior," Glynda snorted fondly. Sienna just shrugged in response, "A girl has to know what she likes."

Mystral

Slums

"So why do you want me," The Flaming haired man asked

"Simple you are the best in the businesses steal all the dust in Vale and every last one of your wishes becomes yours," Vernal stated

"What's the catch," The man asked

"You just need to follow orders," Vernal glared

"Alright I'll join your little operation," The man smirked as the two walked away towards the edge of town

(Sera): so that all happened, and I'm proud of it.
