"Nora we are already late," Ren said to his best friend.

"It's not my fault, Velvet is the one dragging her heels."

Nora might've been an odd match for her older girlfriend but the two were really cute together. The rabbit girl was re-adjusting the top hat that she hoped would hide her ears.

"Crikey mate. You expect me to walk right into Schnee manner? Mr. Schee is such a Faunus hatter I'll wind up on the Barbie."

"You'll be fine." Jaune chimed in "Blake's in there."

"Also looks like you don't have to worry about him, " Ren said pointing to a mustached gentleman being shoved into the back of a police cruiser.

"Crikey!" Both girls said at once before running up to get a better look. The two boys followed close behind.

But before they could start snooping on the scene before them they were greeted by Weiss "Velvet what a pleasant surprise. Nora, Ren. Thanks again Jaune, too bad you missed the big reveal. What you did for me last night went better than expected.

The three team members exchanged glances their friend seemed different somehow.

"I always said it's not a party until somebody gets arrested." Nora said pointing at the car pulling out "didn't expect it to be your father though."

"Don't worry about it, he can use the time to cool off," Weiss replied.

Ruby stepped out and joined her friends at the front door. "Hey Velvet long time no see, if you don't mind me asking, why are you here?"

"She's my +1, " Nora said putting an arm around the bunny girl.

Weiss offered a smile "That's wonderful but please get rid of the hat." Velvet obeyed her host. She was still nervous but she allowed Nora to lead her in.

Inside the four new guests were gathered around the refreshments, trying to figure out what was different about Weiss.

Jaune remarked, "she seems much more confident."

Ren nodded and added, "more at peace with herself."

"Happier!" Noria cheered.

Jaune continued "Whatever she asked me to do last night it really seemed to help."

"Still something seems funny about her." Velvet added. "Maybe I'm just not used to seeing her smile."

[Over with Team RWBY]

The girls were amusing themselves with how confused their friends were in seeing the change in Weiss.

"They still haven't noticed," Ruby said playfully.

"Do we tell them?" Blake asked.

"Calm down you two, how often do people suddenly have tails?" Yang added.

"That's correct." Weiss said smiling "It remained hidden underneath my dress as it re-grew and not the sort people expect to get back." She looked back to the other group. "I'm going to refill our drinks and give them one more chance to figure it out for themselves."

Weiss walked to the other group, a sly smile on her face as she locked eyes with the other Faunus. As she walked over Velvet started to get a little nervous.

"Man it feels like I'm staring down a predator all of a sudden." Velvet commented as the white-haired girl approached.

"My apologies," Weiss responded "I've undergone a transformation very recently. Perhaps we all need to get more used to the new me."

"Yaa mate you, seem more confident, more driven, and at the same time more cheerful. More, more..." Velvet's eyes grew wide as saucers and as Weiss turned to talk with Jaune "Faunus !"

The smile on Weisse's face grew even more playful and she played dumb "what do you mean?"

"You have a tail!" Velvet responded.

"Don't be silly honey bunny she can't possibly have a..." Noria looked down and looked pale. "Tail? Crikey!"

Ren smelled his drink. "What is in this punch?"

"Jaune regrew it." Weiss confessed, "I don't want to bring the party down let's talk later."
