Man… how long has it been since I touched this finale chapter? Well… it's been a while. It took so long that we're finally at the 4th Year Anniversary of being here in the RWBY Fanfiction community. This chapter alone has been the biggest struggle I've ever faced in my life, so I guess this chapter means more to me than I let on. If there's one thing I really wanted for this finale, it was to actually come to a close. After I got to the point this chapter ends on, I wondered if I should go on and just cram everything into this chapter and make it the finale, but I didn't want to do that. There's a lot more still left to do, so I guess this means this is the halfway point in the finale. Sorry to keep you guys waiting, but in these past two days of finishing writing this chapter (9/5 and 9/6), I've written so many words in these sessions than any other session before this… which was back in May.

Anyways… here's Part 2… Reviews are appreciated…

Song in this chapter: Chocolate Jackalope by Dance Gavin Dance


Since 2005 I've been living a lie

I'm not even a man I'm just a cat in disguise

I was born by surprise in the Egyptian times

Bring me a treat and I'll imprint your face forever

And I, I just want to be in my zone

I just want to be in control

No time for you


I slid my finger across the screen of my scroll, disabling the alarm before the song can continue and unlocking it. Sighing softly, I sat up and held the device close so I could see the time. Damn… I'm too sleepy to see this shit properly. I thought, rubbing my eyes to get them back in focus faster. I realized that it was only 10 AM, making me lean back onto the couch in relief. Well, that's a good thing. I actually woke up on time, for once.

Since the tour started, it's been a rare occurrence to sleep well, due to encores in different venues around the world. How was that one of the reasons? Well… the concerts usually went until early morning, so around 1 to 2 AM. Add encores to that, and we're looking at maybe close to 3 AM? It was definitely hard to get a decent rest. Our schedule also had us waking up early to eat breakfast, explore the town a bit, then going to the venue to look around, and get ready for the concert. Other bands played before us so we had time to chill out, but for me, I would have to do vocal warmups before getting on stage. Then when the concert ends, we load everything onto the tour bus and leave to the next city.

It was a hellish schedule, but since this is the final concert of the tour, we were given a day off to relax before we prepare for the grand finale. I spent my free day just hanging out, exploring the town, meeting fans, and finally, worrying about Weiss due to the fact that I need to tell her about my pregnancy. Actually, now that I think about that feeling of worry, I still need to tell my sisters. I thought, gulping audibly at the thought of how Yang and Blake would react to the news. I was snapped out of my thoughts as I heard yawning behind me, looking back towards my bedroom to see Chloe walking out. She looked my way and smiled. "Morning!" She chirped, making me chuckle.

"Seems like you got a good amount of sleep." I replied, making her giggle.

"Yep! Your bed's really comfy compared to the room I slept in, before." She said, tilting her head in curiosity, probably wanting me to answer why that was the case.

Instead, I shrugged. "Could be that suites get more comfy stuff than normal rooms." I said, getting up slowly and yawning softly. "I need to get some clothes and shower. Gotta be in tip-top condition for the concert tonight." Chloe nodded and I went to my bedroom, noticing how tidy she left it before turning back to her. "Were you cleaning before I woke up?" I asked curiously.

I noticed the sudden change in emotion, twiddling fingers and shaking of one of her legs being the obvious indications. "Well… I-I thought you wouldn't like it if it was all messy, so I woke up a half hour early to make sure it was just like you left it." She replied, laughing nervously.

I let out a sigh. "Chloe, you didn't need to do that. I wouldn't have minded if you made a sort of mess. Though, I doubt you made much of a mess when you slept in here, last night."

She scratched the back of her head and kicked the ground gently with one of her legs. "Well… you'll be surprised. I tend to move around in my sleep, sometimes."

"So like sleepwalking?" I asked.

She shook her head. "Not really… or that's what I think."

"Huh… alright then." I shrugged and proceeded to grab some clothes from the dresser beside the bed. I'll just go with a red and black flannel and black pants… again. I thought and sighed. I should really expand what I wear, for once. Well… it's either this, or end up in some over-generic dress with sparkles that all those pop singers wear. I cringed at the thought and closed the dresser cabinet when I had the clothes I needed in hand. Anything but that.

I turned back to Chloe and realized something. "You don't have anything to wear, do you?" I asked, looking over her form as I noticed that she was still wearing the same clothes as last night.

The cat faunus frowned and shook her head. "My boyf-..." she let out a soft sigh and clenched her fists, "my ex has all of my stuff." Chloe answered, her voice filled with disdain. "Why does there have to be something that makes me have to go back to him?"

"I-I mean, you could just borrow some of my clothes-"

"No, no, you don't have to do that, Ruby. It's better if I get my things, anyways. Though I wonder if I'll even be able to face him after that. I can't believe he did what he did, yesterday."

"Hmmmm, this is going to be a bit of a problem." It was silent as I thought for a moment, thinking of a way to get Chloe's possessions back. Wait, what time is it? I pulled out my scroll from my pocket and turned it on, looking at the time plastered on the lock screen. Almost eleven… come to think of it, this is the time that Yang usually wakes. At that instant, an idea formed in my head. I turned my attention back to Chloe, smiling reassuringly. "Hey Chloe, do you want to come with me to see Yang and Blake?" I asked.

Her eyes widened at me. "Y-you wouldn't mind?"

"Course not! And before you ask why we're going to see them, it's because I have an idea on how to get your stuff back."

"You have an idea? W-what is it?"

I could tell she was curious, but I chuckled and gave her shoulder a pat. "Let's go see them first, then I'll discuss it."


A couple of moments later…

We made our way through the hall of the hotel building, heading a few doors down until we stopped at a certain one. I raised my hand and knocked on the door. "Yang? Blake? Are you two in there?" I called, making my knocks loud enough for them to hear clearly.

Immediately, the door swung open, Yang leaning on the doorway casually. She was wearing a yellow and black coat with black jeans. "Top of the morning, Ruby… well almost." Her eyes shifted left from me and to Chloe, who was standing behind me timidly. "Ummm… who's that?" She asked.

"Well… this is Chloe."

I moved so she could fully see her. As I turned to look at the red and black-haired cat faunus, her expression was filled with nervousness. "H-hi… I-I'm a really big fan of your sister… a-and you and Blake-"

Yang chuckled and pat her shoulder. "There's no need to be nervous; just think of us as friends and you'll be fine. Anyways, what was your name again?"

Chloe took a deep breath, calming herself before smiling. "It's Chloe. I-It's nice to meet you, Yang."

My sister smiled back and gave her a thumbs up. "Same to you too, Chloe." She looked back at me and tilted her head. "But what brings you two here? Usually Ruby, you'd already be downstairs or in the city, eating breakfast somewhere."

I stood beside Chloe and sighed. "Well, there's a bit of an issue that Chloe here has. She needs to get her stuff back, but her boy-" I stopped myself and cleared my throat, correcting the phrase, "her EX-boyfriend's most likely there, still. I need your help with getting it back with her."

She looked at Chloe in curiosity. "Why's he your ex, now?"

Chloe sighed. "He kicked me out of the room we stayed in, and caused me to get kicked out of the hotel too. I was freezing to death outside the entrance for a while until your sister came and offered me to stay at her room."

Yang smiled and turned to me, immediately pulling me to her and bear-hugging the hell out of me. "Awwwwww, you're soooo kind to our fans, Rubes. I'm so proud of you!"

I gasped and croaked. "Y-Yang! Y-you're k-killing me." It was her turn to gasp this time, and she released me, making me fall on my knees. I stood up with the support of the doorway. "Y-you're gonna kill me or destroy my diaphragm before the concert, sis. I-I won't be happy if either of those things happened." I scolded, coughing for a bit before moving away from the door frame.

She sighed. "Sorry sis. Anyways, if we're going to help Chloe here, then I should go get Blake and let our fan lead us to that asshole." With that, Yang backed up into the room before turning around towards wherever Blake is.

I gestured Chloe to come in as I entered the room, closing the door behind her as she followed suit. I didn't really get much of a look at Yang's room, since I've been keeping to myself and practicing my music, but from what I've seen, it looks just like my own room.

I heard footsteps and noticed Yang walking back into the room along with Blake, who was wearing a dark purple zip-up hoodie with black pants. Her hair was slightly wet, most likely still drying from showering, and she didn't have her bow on, presenting her cat ears without care. She turned to me, smiling. "Hey Red…" she noticed Chloe and turned slightly so she was facing her, "and I'm guessing this is a fan?" she asked.

Yang butted in and hooked an arm over her neck. Classic Yang. I thought. "This is Chloe; she's not just a fan. She's a fan in distress." She said.

"Uh huh…" she tilted her head, "and what is it that's causing her to be distressed?"

Chloe twiddled her fingers and I sighed, giving her a pat of reassurance on the back. "No need to be nervous, Chloe."

She let out a breath and stopped moving her fingers. "Well… It's… I already told Ruby and Yang, but…" Yang and I stayed silent as Chloe told her troubles to Blake, noticing her clenching her fists.

"I see… well doesn't he sound like the perfect boyfriend." She said sarcastically, growling slightly. "Count me in. No one should ever have to go through something that cruel."

I nodded and turned to Chloe. "Well, looks like everyone's on board. Let's go… talk to him and get your stuff, Chloe." The red and black-haired cat faunus nodded and opened the door, walking out while we followed behind.


After an elevator ride down a couple of floors, the doors slid open, Chloe silently leading us to her previous hotel room. We passed door after door, myself wondering what to even do when we see her… "roommate". I mean, we could just talk to him, right? No. After Yang and Blake jumped on board with this, I don't think talking is going to be an option. I thought, sighing softly. A few steps after the thought, I noticed her stopping in front of the third to last door on the right in the hallways, stopping next to her just a moment later.

"This is it." Chloe said quietly in a shaky tone. I frowned slightly, already noticing her trying to keep herself together. She nervously knocked on the door gently, jumping back and letting out a squeak as a slightly low, loud voice responded.

"I said I didn't ask for room service, asshole!"

Blake huffed. "Isn't he charismatic." She quipped.

"Tell me about it." Yang replied, growling softly. Before Chloe could respond, Yang went to the door and kicked it with an astonishing amount of force, making it swing open and loosen its hinges. "Well we're not room service!" She exclaimed, storming in. The once nervous cat faunus rushed in behind her, the rest of us following suit.

A male, black-haired dog faunus jumped up from his place on the couch that was near us and backed away, looking at Yang in fear. "H-holy shit. I-It's actually you three…" he noticed Chloe and his eyes widened, "a-and Chloe?!" he exclaimed.

She moved away from us and started towards him. I noticed that she wasn't trembling in worry over what Yang was going to do anymore; instead, she was angry. "You got me kicked out of the hotel, Derek! I'm lucky to even be standing here, because Ruby showed up to help me! I could have died out there, but you were too busy sitting here," she noticed a bag of chips and a drink, making her growl, "lounging off the snacks I bought, and not giving a shit?!" She shoved him, making him fall onto his bottom.

"W-wait! Hold on a minute, Chloe-"

Before the dog faunus could even start talking again, Chloe cut him off. "NO! You listen to me! I've had it with you and…"

I overheard Yang moving to Blake as Chloe told off her ex-boyfriend, clearly petrified. "I've never seen a person go from completely nervous to pissed off in seconds." she whispered to her.

"I-I have to agree on that. Holy shit." Blake replied, making me hold back a snicker.

We stayed quiet and watched as Chloe finished her scolding, grabbing her things as he stayed speechless. She stood by us before turning back to him and growling again. "Don't you dare try to talk to me again! As soon as you threw me out to the cold outside world, we were fucking through! Asshole!" She turned back to us and sighed shakily. "L-let's go." We nodded and walked out with her, heading back up to my room. After what happened, my expectations as to how it would have turned out were blown out of the water.


An hour later…

After Chloe situated herself into my room (which I assured her I didn't mind), we made our way out of the hotel and to the restaurant nearby. There actually were multiple restaurants and even shops inside the hotel, but in my opinion, the food they served was just mediocre and overpriced to hell. That always seems to be the case for almost every hotel I stayed at during this tour.

We walked inside, noticing that business for the establishment right now was pretty tame, only a few families were dining while some sat at the nicely decorated bar. I sighed in relief; with how late we went to the restaurant this afternoon, I was thinking that the restaurant would be bustling with a lot of people, especially fans. "Looks like we won't be having issues eating our food in peace." Blake said, sighing in relief. Looks like I wasn't the only one thinking that. I thought.

A charming host approached us, menus at the ready. "Hello Miss Rose. Party of four, correct?" He asked, already having counted us. I nodded and he gestured us to follow him to a secluded booth. If there was one thing I loved about this place is that they were always a step ahead when it comes to the customer, especially when it comes to those that were widely known in Atlas.

We all gave our orders for drinks to the host, seeing him nod and tell us that a waiter will be with us soon before walking away. I felt a tap on my shoulder, looking to my right to see Chloe with a confused look. "How does he know you, Ruby?" She asked curiously.

I smiled. "Well, these guys make sure to know about anyone known so they can make sure that we don't get pestered so much by fans while we eat. Plus, it was a bit of luck for us to get the same host that sat us when we first came here, yesterday." I explained, making her raise a brow.

"I thought you didn't mind fans." she said.

"Well… I don't think you would want fans constantly asking you for their autograph when you're trying to eat to make sure you're filled and not hungry before a concert. I mean, Yang, Blake and I have to deal with checking out and helping our roadies set up at the venue we'll be performing at in a few hours. And… I also need to see Weiss at the airport soon." I replied, pulling out my scroll to check what time it was at the moment.

"Ah, well that makes sense."

I nodded and a waitress came by with our drinks before proceeding with taking our food order. Since lunchtime passed, we decided to get food more fitting to be eaten for dinner. I watched longingly as Blake went with a lemon-minted dressed salmon plate while Yang with a tender, medium-rare steak, making my mouth water. Since I'm pregnant, I can't really eat anything that I used to eat on an almost daily basis. Nice, juicy meat and seafood plates seem like a faraway dream for me, nowadays.

I sighed softly and asked for a well done sirloin steak, already noticing the shocked expressions my sisters were showing. I was lucky enough to have multiple restaurants in other cities that helped mask the changes to what I could eat, but with this particular one we're in, it was near impossible… and the last thing that would cause them to show concern would be if I asked for a salad. I can still have meats and some seafood, but there's so many restrictions to those kinds of foods that it seems like It's almost impossible to have something from that genre.

Despite the shocked expressions they showed, Yang and Blake went back to making small talk about how Atlas has been in the past day we've been here for. From what I could hear of the conversation, it seems that they've found a lot of stuff that you can't seem to find in the other kingdoms we've been in. Suddenly, Yang's scroll went off, making us turn to her as she pulled it out, gasping in awe at whatever was plastered on the screen.

"Velvet just sent me pics of the venue! The place looks badass!" she exclaimed, though Blake shushed her, telling her not to be so loud.

"Can I see the pictures?" I asked, shifting in my seat so I could easily grab Yang's phone as she handed it to me. My eyes widened as I swiped through the pictures Velvet had sent. The venue itself was a size that the other venues we played in so far couldn't compare to. No, nothing could compare to this arena by a long shot. The floor space itself was already a much larger size in width and, especially length than the previous venue (which was Vale Arena; and that venue had a huge amount of inclined seating), and in the third image, I could see that there was a lot of levels of inclined seating.

And then there was the stage. To say in short, none of us have to worry about spacing whatsoever. There was a raised platform in the center at the back that could be great for the drummer, and the front portion of the stage was long enough for us to run around and do some fun stuff with the audience. I have to say, this part of the venue was the part I loved the most, and that's not because I'll be on that stage. It was just the perfect place for any artist to be on and do what they wish. On both left and right sides of the stage, a large set of speakers hung there, which made me gasp. We'll be projected through that?! This arena was a match made in heaven, especially for the heavier stuff we have.

"I think I'm in love." I thought aloud, making Blake chuckle.

"You think this is the place that blows away all the other places we played?" Yang asked.

"This beats all the places we played by a long shot. It's perfect." I replied, making her smile.

"Well we'll be playing on it tonight… and I'm sure it's going to be awesome." I smiled and handed her scroll back to her, already thinking of more exciting things to do on stage.


Our food arrived almost half an hour later, seeing my dry, well-done steak being set down in front of me. I sighed softly. I'm already missing my juicier steak. I thought. Despite my jealousy of the others and their mouth-watering food, I ate my food quietly, remembering that I'm not eating for myself, anymore. It's like I'm already a mother, tending to her children with delightful food. I giggled quietly at the thought.

As soon as I finished my plate, I felt my scroll vibrating in my pocket. Putting my silverware down, I pulled the vibrating device out, noticing that the caller was Weiss. I answered it and placed the speaker portion of the scroll onto my ear so I could hear her. "Hey Weiss."

Instead of a cheerful Weiss replying to my greeting, I was met with a furious tone. "Don't 'hey Weiss' me! You were supposed to visit me at the airport twenty minutes ago!"

I gasped and moved my scroll so it was in front of me, noticing on the screen that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, definitely twenty minutes later than when I was supposed to be with my wife. I was instantly put into apologetic wife mode. "O-oh! Sorry, Weiss! I had to deal with something and I haven't had anything to eat-"

"Well you should have let me know, then I wouldn't be as angry as I am, now. You promised you would see me!" she exclaimed.

"I-I know." I rose from my seat and kept the phone in my ear by tilting my head onto my shoulder slightly as I pulled my wallet out of my pocket and giving Yang the amount of money the steak costed. "Look, I'll make my way there soon. Just hold on, okay?" I was given no response, which made me sigh before making my voice softer. "Pretty please, my wonderful snowflake?" I heard a snicker coming from my left, realizing it was Chloe that did that. I groaned mentally. Way to embarrass myself in front of a fan.

She let out a sigh. "Okay, I'll wait, but don't take too long, Ruby Rose."

"I won't let that happen. I'll see you soon."

"I love you."

I couldn't help but smile. "I love you too." And with that, the call was dropped.

"Pffft… 'wonderful snowflake'." Chloe quipped.

"H-hey… that's not funny." I argued, blushing in embarrassment before turning to Yang and Blake. "Can you two do me a favor and take care of Chloe for me, I was supposed to meet Weiss at the airport a few minutes ago?" They nodded, Yang giving me a thumbs up. "Thanks, you two. I'll see you all at the arena." I put my phone and wallet back into my pockets before shimmying myself out of the booth.

Before I walked out the door, I heard Yang already chatting with Chloe. "So Chloe, how about you come with us to check out the arena?"


Taking a cab to the airport has got to have been one of the easiest things I have done in the tour so far. The ride was quiet and peaceful, giving me the time to check out what's been happening on social media along with replying to fan comments on my latest posts and threads. Whenever I had an opportunity to, I would always do this so the fans know that I'm not ignoring them or thinking that I'm too famous to be a normal person and have a chat. Some of the fans have already known that Weiss was going to be at the concert tonight, but the response has been mostly mixed about it.

I see more people leaning on the 'OMG Cute Couple Incoming' train than on the 'here comes the ice queen' train, but I didn't let that phase me. Other than getting into a fight with a person in the crowd a year or two ago at a concert for bad mouthing my wife, I haven't really seen much disdain coming from the audience when I talk about how my beautiful snowflake is there for the show. It's mostly just been awe-inspiring in terms of romance to them than a threat.

After a while of checking comments and making a few new posts about tonight's show, I felt the cab come to a stop, making me lift my head from my scroll to see that we've arrived at my destination. I thanked the driver and paid the amount owed before asking. "Can you wait here a moment please, I actually came here to pick someone up?" The driver nodded and put the car in park. I thanked him again and got out of the vehicle, closing the door gently. I went around it and made my way into the airport. As soon as I entered through the sliding doors, I bumped into Weiss, who was too distracted by what she was looking at on her scroll.

"H-hey! Watch where-..." she looked up and realized that it was me, making her furious voice turn to one of pure joy, "Ruby!" She wrapped her arms around me before I could react, hindering me from being able to move.

I didn't mind though; I haven't seen my princess in almost a month. "I'm so glad to see you again, Weiss. It's been a while."

She sighed. "It really has." she replied in a soft tone. My snowflake pulled away from me, smiling. She was wearing a white and black double-breasted coat that ended downwards as a full skirt with black frills. "So… I know this is going to be weird, but I want to see my father and sister before heading to the arena."

I tilted my head. "What for?" I asked in a curious voice.

Weiss giggled. "We haven't seen them in a while, you dolt. And since you're doing this concert here in Atlas, why not make it an opportunity to see them?"

I hummed in agreement. "When you put it that way, you're absolutely right. Why didn't I think of that?" I looked back at the cab. "I got us a ride."

She tilted her head. "I already got us a ride in the limousine."

I sighed. "But I made the driver wait for us. And… well, I'd rather stay down to earth, right now."

She sighed again. "Okay… we'll take the cab, but let me tell the chauffeur to head back to the manor."

I nodded and she walked ahead, going to the limousine while I went back to the taxi, letting him know that we'll be leaving soon. A moment later, Weiss came to the cab and I opened the door to the passenger seat for her. "Oh, aren't you being romantic?" She said, giggling.

I smiled. "I always want to make sure my princess is comfortable and well taken care of." I replied, laughing with her. She sat down and I closed the door, moving around to the other passenger side and opened the door, sitting in and closing it.

As soon as I got comfy, I noticed the driver staring at Weiss in shock. "A-are you Weiss Schnee?" he asked. She nodded and he gulped. "W-well… I-It's an honor to be your driver, then. W-where would you like to go?" He asked, clearly nervous.

"The Schnee Manor… and you don't have to be nervous, sir. Just think of me as a normal passenger." She replied, giving him an assuring smile.

"O-okay. The Schnee Manor it is, then." The driver pulled out of the curb and started driving out of the airport, towards the Schnee Manor.

I looked at Weiss as he was driving and sighed. "Your reputation hasn't died down a bit since you left." I said, smiling.

"Well, with what my father has done to make the jobs in the Dust industry more fair than ever helps with that. It also kind of helps with what people look at me as; I don't have to worry with people thinking that I'm a cold, ruthless heiress." She commented.

"Huh… is that so? That's great to hear."

During the course of the drive, we made small talk, catching each other up on what we've done while the other was gone. I couldn't help but stay close to her as we talked, trying my best to also push my troubles into the back of my mind. I just want to happy with her right now… not worried. My troubles will settle when we see her family.


And that's that for this chapter! Holy crap, I haven't written so much in one session in such a long time. It felt liberating.

Like I said, today is my Fourth Year Anniversary of Writing RWBY Fanfiction (9/6) and releasing my first story Red like Roses (which is being remade… albeit slowly). It feels awesome… even though I haven't written in a while. Sorry for keeping you all waiting, once again.

Also, if anyone asks why I call this part The Harmony, it's because so many tones are present in the chapter (such as Chloe being nervous, then pissed off at her Ex, and Ruby meeting up with Weiss) that I couldn't help but think that all of these tones are combined together to form this chapter… like a Harmony. It's genius!

Anyways, I will see you all soon this time… and as always… Stay Classy. Love you all.
