AN: First time i've written any Nora in a story. Obviously the focus of this chapter is Ruby though. So enjoy and leave your opinion. And thank you Blue-Velvet14 for leaving a review :)


The city capitol of Atlas was a very grandeur place indeed. The city spires and tower's towered above the large wall that surrounded it. Car's of unique styles and custom designs drove the streets, and those who walked along the side walks carried an air about them that practically screamed their rich heritage. It made Vale look like a poverty stricken country in comparison. It made the poor band of Hunter's feel tiny and almost insignificant. The guards that walked around patrolling looked somewhat friendly but that didn't change the fact that they looked armed to kill a horde of grimm if necessary.

"T-this place is huge! How will we ever find Weiss in this place?' Asked Jaune with a greif stricken face as he looked around hopelessly.

Nora's laughter made him and Ruby wince as they starred at the smug huntress who pointed ahead of them."Well obviously we should start with the big building that says Schnee on it shouldn't we?!"

Jaune gaped in a mix of amazement and horror as he gazed upon the building towering above most others further away. It was huge and a Pristine white color. It most certainly guaranteed a view of possibly all of Atlas from the top floor. Along its side vertically was the name shining brighter than almost the sun reading 'The Schnee Dust Co.' "how did I miss that?"

Ruby simply shrugged and walked forward smiling. "I don't know Jaune maybe you've got bad eye-sight. Should probably get some glasses." Ruby cheekily smiled at him as Nora and Ren followed onward Jaune fallin behind slightly as he comprehended how he had missed something that big.

-HA-

As Ruby came closer to the building her step started to slow and her heart began to pound loudly against her chest. The sign and building had originally made her happy and excited beyond belief but as she got closer it had slowly died down and now she could only feel the fluttering of moths in her stomach and dread weigh down on her shoulders. Soon she came to a total stop only blocks from the building. Her mind began racing with thoughts that hadn't occurred to her before. 'What if she doesn't want to see us? What if she's forgotten us already, Or maybe her father forbid her from dealing with people from Beacon. He did sound rather hostile after all... What if... What do I do if she doesn't like me anymore.' "g-guys" Her voice was soft but it reached the ear's of her team mates who had stopped beside her. "Maybe we should rest first. Lets go find a place to stay and we'll see her tomorrow once we've rested."

"Silly we can ask Weiss to hook us up when we see her." Nora said cheerfully but much to her dismay Ruby had a counter.

"We wouldn't want to bother her. Besides itss nid-day and she might be busy in an office or something." Ruby said as she peeled an eye out for a hotel to stay at. Nora nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay sure I get that logic!" She chipped happily as she began peering out of a hotel. "Hmm so where do we go.

Eventually Ruby spotted a small Motel of sorts not to far away. It was two stories and painted a warm yellow contrasting upon all of the shiny black and white buildings around them Upon entering the sign in room she saw that the place was older than most and not well taken care of. The wall paint was peeling in areas and the doors creaked from lack of oil. The man behind the counter was an elderly person with aa sweet smile. After a brief talk they managed to get two rooms. By the time they settled in it was already night time and they had gone to their respective rooms. Ruby and Nora were sharing a two person bed trying to sleep. As it got dark the only ones up were Ruby and Nora.

"Do you think she misses me. Nora?" The question was small and meek as Ruby slowly turned her tired eyes to Nora who was putting on a pair of shorts and black undershirt.

"Hm? Who? Weiss? Of course she misses you! You two were the best friends in the world... Weren't you?" Nora couldn't help but notice how Ruby seemed to deflate slightly at her inquiry. "I mean. Yes! Of course she misses her best friend in the world! Its been so long since you've talked she probably misses the heck out of you!" She quickly quipped cheerfully. It didn't seem to make her happier.

"Yeah... I haven't even sent her message since we came in range of the local grid in Atlas.." Ruby looked at her scroll with a frown. "I'm scared to contact her."

Nora sighed and crawled into bed next to Ruby with a smile and leaned forward pulling Ruby into a surprisingly gentle hug. "I know it scares you. You don't know what to tell her or if she will even care at this point." She could feel wetness from Ruby's eyes slowly leak onto her shirt and she ruffled her hair and held her closer. "Ruby. Weiss misses you. She won't be mad or upset when she hears from you." She raised Ruby's face and wiped her tear's smiling brightly. "She'll be so damn happy to see you. I know it!" She bopped ruby's nose smiling brightly. " And if she doesn't miss you or show that she loves you and misses you to." Nora smiled and leaned back. "I'll obviously just-" In an action that slightly startled Ruby Nora jumped to her feet slamming her fist and hand together. "I'LL BREAK HER LEGS!" She smiled happily at Ruby as she stood prominently before the younger girl.

Ruby smiled rubbing her eyes and holding back a giggle. "That won't be necessary Nora." She looked up and smiled getting up from bed to change into her pajamas. "Thanks for the pep talk Nora." She leaned forward and kissed Nora's face bringing a blush to her face.

Soon the door to the restroom closed and Nora laughed happily. "No problem Rubes. " She laid down and curled up in bed leaving enough room for Ruby. She made sure not to mess up her side of the bed. Her little Rose needed her strength tomorrow when she confronts her other half. Oh she couldn't wait to see them together. "Eeeee finally!" She smiled softly cuddling her pillow that she 'borrowed' from Ren. "My ship is sailing at last..."


AN: I always liked the idea that Nora is the biggest shipper of WhiteRose and other ships the community loves. I hope you enjoyed this. {lease please R&R. Have a good day :)
