Hey guys! It's been a while, if you don't read my AN's or Updates and want to know why I've been out, maybe you should give this one a read this time. Well something had happened to the computer I type my stories on while I was upgrading it. I accidentally fried it while trying to add a graphics card so my dad had to get it repaired, in realistic terms, I have a new computer now. The repairman put a new motherboard in and the parts I bought and now I have a really powerful PC… but that came with a price.

I lost an upcoming story at which I wrote 6 chapters of. That story was actually a folder I thought I lost before I began writing and it was on a flash drive… well my hard drive got wiped out and I lost the flash drive too.

It may not seem like a long time since I updated but I like to update in less than a week since the last release and I need to reschedule some chapters now. I hope you guys understand and enjoy this chapter…

Ruby

The morning was cool as I felt the chilling wind from the open window in our room. Weiss was still asleep so I climbed out of bed as quietly as I could and walked out. My stomach growled, and I headed for the kitchen. Upon opening the cabinets, I realized that we were out of food. It had only been a day since we settled in and we're already out?! I sighed and walked back to my room to wake Weiss.

"C'mon sleepyhead, we have a crisis upon us!" I exclaimed as I shook her.

Her ocean blue eyes snapped open and I moved myself away before I met the palm of her hand in motion and the force of her booming voice. "Ruby! Don't wake me up like that!" She rubbed at her eyes with a groan, and then paused. "Wait… what the heck do you mean by a crisis?!"

"We're out of food! Nourishment! If we don't stock up on food, then everyone's going to starve and you are going to hate Yang and I like Blake did."

"Why would I hate it?" Weiss asked.

"Well Yang and I would complain like five year olds and keep annoying you until you give up and feed us."

Weiss pondered, and then her face went pale. "No way, I wouldn't even live to see the moon!"

I nodded. "Now, will you please accompany me to the grocery store?"

Weiss sighed in defeat. "Fine, get dressed; we'll leave in five."

I squeaked in joy. "Thank you so much, Weiss! You won't regret it I promise!"

"Alright then, for the whole entire time in the store you won't run around and act like a child on a sugar rush… you will follow me and obey my demands okay?"

"What am I to you, Weiss, a servant?" I huffed.

She pecked my cheek and smiled. "You are the love of my life to me." Her smile disappeared and was replaced with a frown as she continued. "But the last thing we need is to attract unnecessary attention."

I blushed at first and knew that she was right. We did run away from our families after all. "Okay… I'll behave," I said with a sigh. "We should probably wear clothes that people wouldn't recognize. What if our parents are looking for us in the city?"

"Good point but I don't have any clothes that don't make me stick out." I didn't know if I smirked or smiled but I offered her some of my clothes. "I do not want to wear your clothing, it looks hideous!" she replied, worry evident in her tone.

"There's no avoiding it, Weiss, plus Blake and Yang didn't bring any clothes of their own so…"

"N-now that I think about it, I might have some clothing that a tad more… casual."

I raised an eyebrow at this statement. She obviously wanted any way other than my suggestion but I didn't want things to be easy on her. "I'll be the judge of that," I replied in a serious tone and crossed my arms.

Weiss laughed nervously—something I never thought I could get the heiress to do—and went to fetch her bag of clothing. I should pick out what I want to wear for today, I thought and reached for my red duffel bag. I should have organized it instead of just shoving everything in there. With a frustrated sigh, I dug inside my bag to find the clothes I had brought with me. I stopped when I felt something solid and smooth. Is that… no it can't be. I took my hand out of the bag with a picture frame containing a photo of my family. I was standing in the middle of the picture with a heartwarming smile. Those were the days when everything was fine… perfect. I placed the photo back in quickly and looked down in sadness. I get to be with the love of my life now but… was it a good idea to leave those that had raised me to be what I am now?

No. This is my life now… a fresh start. I shouldn't indulge in the past anymore. Well that's easier said than done since I dreamt of the past last night. I sighed and thanked God for making Weiss return before I could think of anything else.

"What do you think of this?"

My eyes widened at what she was wearing. No. Way. I always thought that she wore Sunday dresses and her combat attire only, but when I saw her walk out of the bathroom with a white hoodie and black denim jeans along with black sneakers my jaw dropped to the ground instantly.

A smirk was plastered on her face. "You were waiting for the right moment to wear that and I thought the clothes I wear were hideous?" I asked in a defeated tone.

She replied in a curious tone. "Well, I was always interested in the nefarious clothing you would wear so when we went shopping last week, I decided to buy my own set of… casual wear."

"Is that your first time wearing it?"

She shrugged. "Kind of, I tried it out when I went home from shopping and looked in the mirror to see that it looked horrifying to me. When I packing my bag though, I decided to take it just in case of situations like this, but I never thought that I would need it this soon."

I shrugged and smiled. "Well that could be a coincidence; it's better than trying to come up with a plan."

"Of course it is, now for you to get dressed and the clothes you have aren't going to cut it."

I grew confused. "What? Why?"

"Because that's what you normally wear right? You might as well take some clothes of mine that will make you look like someone else."

I gave her a hum of acknowledgement. "I won't argue, I would wear your clothes anytime whenever I need to."

She blushed. "Sure you would, I'll pick out something for you so just wait for a bit."

I groaned and began to whine. "I want to go already, sitting here's making me hungrier by the minute."

She shushed me. "Be patient Miss Rose," With that, she began digging through her bag of clothes once again while I sat on the bed with impatience, watching her. Eventually she took out a white sunday dress with red trimmings. "Here, just for you." Weiss said as she handed them to me.

Looking at the dress, I couldn't help but admire how beautiful it looked how much of a waste it would be if I got it messy. "S-should I wear this, I mean what if I get a stain on it?" I asked.

"You'll be careful right?" It was hard for me to take the dress but I gave her a thumbs up and went to the bathroom to change. Before I closed the door, she stopped it while it was in motion and handed me a pair of white heels. "I almost forgot these."

I responded by groaning. "Are you serious, you know how I am with heels Weiss?"

She shook her head. "You have to wear them; it goes well with the dress."

"Really?" I asked.

"Of course it does Ruby." she replied with a heartwarming smile. I went on her word and closed the door, heels in my hand. Okay Weiss… just for you. I thought and smiled. One by one, I took my pajamas off and folded them neatly on the white marble sink.I dared not to look at the mirror until I had put the dress and the heels on and when I finally finished dressing myself, I was too nervous to turn around. Okay Ruby… you can do this; it's just a dress, no need to freak out if you haven't seen yourself in one before. I closed my eyes and turned around. Now open your eyes. For some reason, I thought it was Weiss that was reassuring me since I kept hearing her soft voice. I did what I was told and opened them. Weiss wasn't there but myself… well I actually thought it was someone else. I looked beautiful. The red trimmings were the right shade of red that it went nicely with my hair and the white color gave it a bright tone. Suddenly, an idea appeared.

"Weiss, mind if you can get my bag?!" I asked, raising my voice so she could hear. A few seconds later, I heard a knock on the door.

"Are you almost done?" she asked as I opened it but stopped it short so she could only see the hand that reached out for the bag.

"No peeking, I'm putting the finishing touches on it." I replied and closed the door quickly.

"Finishing touches?!"

"You'll see!" Looking in my bag, I thanked myself for bringing the dust that mother gave me. Well… I guess I wore a dress before. I thought and chuckled softly. My mother showed me a way to weave dust into my clothing so that it could give a touch of beauty… well she said that but she was so right. I just wondered how she used crystallized dust for almost everything, even in those times we went hunting for Grimm. I activated my aura and the crystal began disintegrating until I had a handful of glowing rose petals. Now throw them in the air and spin until you know they're all gone. Spinning around, I felt the rose petals touching me softly and the dress and when I stopped, the trimmings at the bottom of the dress began creating rose petals that disappeared before hitting the ground. Weiss was going to like this.

I opened the door and did a complete three-sixty, the petals floating in the air in front of her. "How did you-"
"My mother taught me how to weave dust with my clothing and my semblance so I could have rose petals falling from my clothes… it seemed to work well with this dress."

Weiss smiled and pulled me into a kiss for a few moments, then she pulled away. "You just know how to make things beautiful Ruby."

I smiled back. "Should we get going?" With a nod, we both left the room and went towards the entrance to the suite. "We're going to get some groceries Yang! We'll be back in a couple of minutes!" I shouted.

"Alright, be safe!" she replied from her room.

And with that, we went downstairs and exited the hotel.

Finally! Jesus… I underestimated how long it will take to update this chapter but finally I finished! Well I hope the wait was worth it, even though this chapter did go a bit slow. I liked it in my opinion… I hope you do too. :)
