A clock tower started to ring when they reached the front gates of Schnee manner."Well, it's only just now the 24-hour mark from when I revealed my tail." Weiss remarked
"We had a busy day."
Blake added, "Stopped a madman that wanted to buy an entire country."
Nora chimed in "Fought idiots."
Juan chucked" did some normal teenager things. "
Yang spoke up "Humiliated Blake." which earned her a punch to the arm.
"And added two more to the group." Ruby said "two of the last people I expected to be standing here."
Penny looked like she was on the verge of tears of joy Neapolitan just gave a "that's fair" shrug.
"I'm never regretting finding out who I really am," Weiss said tears of Joy forming. Both Ruby and Blake responded by holding out their arms and walking towards her. Neapolitan looked confused but everyone else was following suit. Weiss was in the center of a group hug within moments. "Okay, we love each other." Weiss chuckled. And a large orange Maple leaf hit Jaune in the face.
Jaune muttered, "Why does that always happen?"
Neo facepalmed "We forgot about my old boots" She signed.
"So I missed all the fun?" Maria said as she walked up to the group. "I get sent to the Hospital for one weekend and all this nonsense goes on without me?" She looked at the two new additions "Isn't she supposed to be dead?"
Jenny scoffed back "Who exactly are you?"
Maria laughed and said "The Grimm Reaper." She then looked to Neo "So how about her?"
"She's nobody important." Ruby said defensively.
"Well if you're defending her," Maria said, "that's good enough for me. You have great jugement after all."
"And you know what wounds need salt." Ruby flinched as she responded.
"Don't forget it." Maria cackled.
Qrow and Oscar caught up to her. "Your fast for an old lady." The boy said between gaspes. Nora pounced on the lad as soon as he caught his breath.
"Velvet this is our child Oscar." She proclaimed holding him up like he weighed nothing.
"Nora were not ready for kids." Velvet giggled "Besides I'm leaving soon."
"Okay you're right." she said putting Oscar down next to Neo.
Neo looked at Oscar she smiled and signed "I'm not the weird one or the small one in this group? I should have joined you guys in the first place."
Maria continued "Leaving a poor old woman in the Hospital with just these two to keep me company, have you no shame?
"What were we supposed to do rewrite the Fan fichon?" Nora replied.
Penny and Neo looked confused Ren stopped there mouth and hands and said"No, don't ask." After a moment he added "For all our sakes."
As they came inside Penny lowered her hood and turned her hair back to it's normal red as she put her ribbon back on. "Feels good to be out of that persona."
"I know how that feels." Neo signed to her.
Weiss gave a happy sigh"How about we do Yang's suggestion from before?"
"NO!" Yang shouted.
"I ment pizza…" Weiss said with a giggle. "I'm not so cruel as to make you have a pedicure."
Everyone who wasn't with them for the conversion where confused at first but then Nora said "You dated her too Yang?" Yang just nodded and then they were the only ones not confused.
"Anyway Pizza!" Ruby spoke up. "I want pepperoni."
"Extra cheese!" Yang cheered.
Nora yelled out "BACON!"
Velvet politely said"I would like Bell peppers."
"I'd like avocado and shrimp." Ren added.
"Do you guys think I'm made of money?" Weiss asked. They all just pointed at their surroundings " Okay I'm made of money. I wonder if I could get a chicken alfredo pizza."
"Brokoli." Jaune squicked out.
"Your kidding." Most of the group said and Ruby followed with "Ewww."
Blake however was nervous she looked around "Okay no torches and pitchforks."
"Anchovies?" Weiss said to which Blake gave a nervus nood.
"What about you Neo?" Ruby asked.
"I don't know." She singed "I never picked a topping before, something sweet?"
Ruby answered "All Right, what about you Penny?"
Penny replied"I might be able to eat like a normal person but flavor is lost on me. I only care about carbs and sugar. I will just have a slice of whatever is least popular."
Up in Weiss's room, they were waiting on the pizza. Ruby was working on Weisses new tail jewelry, with Neo's locket waiting ready. Jaune and Neo where getting better acquainted. Penny having nothing better to do watched Ruby work everyone else was more or less where they were last night.
"I don't think you give your Jewellery skills thier due credit." Weiss said. As Ruby was almost done.
"If I did people would think that was what I wanted to do." Ruby shrugged and got the last of the crystals into place. It resembled a silver spider web and had small Ice dust crystals dotted around it they were intended to line up in the center of the spots.
"That looks lovely Ruby." Weiss said and Penny nooded.
"Okay time for the locket." Ruby turned back around and tried to open the old locket. "This will be tricky." The other teens all hovered behind her "That's not helping."
She took a deep breath and got her tool into the lock. Carefully she turned it and opened the fragile thing. The locket came open revealing two young adult Faunus the father had brown hair and claws as well as a handlebar mustache. The mother was pink haired with large ears like Neo.
"Neo where are you from originally?" Ruby asked.
"A mountain village not far from here, why?" Jaune answered for her.
Ruby then asked"Weiss remember what your father said about his sister?"
"A pink haired cat…" Wiess blinked a few times "your not thinking."
"She was part of a traveling performer group." They both said at once.
"What are the odds?" Weiss murmured.
"That you two would find each other in this fashion," Penny answered "Quite low, but the odds that you two could be related are pretty good."
Neo looked at Weiss "We're family."
"The Pizzas are here!" Nora said as she went for them.
"No!" Weiss screaked "I thought you guys were my friends!" The rest of them had wicked grins on there faces as they backed Weiss into the Connor "This is cruel and unusual."
"Sorry Weiss it has to be this way," Ruby said as she closed in.
"What's the big deal?" Nora asked. "It's your Karaoke machine."
"The big deal is." Weiss said as she took the microphone being forced into her hand "I already know the song you want me to sing.
Weiss had a cold chill down her spine when Ruby went into her closet without asking. Her fur stood straight up when she heard Nora suggest "Let's pick songs for each other." When the Neo being translated voice said: "The first one to refuse will have to be my stand-in." She broke out into a cold sweat. And the color drained out of her when she heard Yang say "Well, Weiss should go first."
Shure enough when she got to the machine she saw the song she was dreading accepting her fate she pressed to play the all too familiar opening notes started up. "Snow glows white on the mountain tonight. Not a footprint to be seen..."
"Really guys?" Velvet said as her turn came up. "Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie…"
"Yaa saw this coming," Blake said taking the stage. "You keep saying you got something for me. Something you call love but confess…."
Jaune was up he looked at the song that was picked for him. "Okay, that's just mean." The music started to play. "We're no strangers to love you know the rules and so do I…"
Yang took a good hard look at what she was looking at. There was no way she could sing that. That song being on a Karaoke machine was a crime she couldn't. Yang just took the punishment.
Yang begrudgingly said, "If it is what I think it is, you're under arrest." Neo responded by taking her by the left arm and pulling her to the machine. Which was turned so Yang would be out of the spotlight? "Okay Neo this is not The sound of Silence."
Neo stuck her tongue out and signed "You really think so little of me Fire Punch?" Before she started to warm up lip syncing. Loud music came out of the speakers "Welcome to the jungle we've got fun and games. We got everything you want honey, we know the names…"
The group was winding down when Neo realized something "I don't have anything to sleep in."
Penny came to the rescue "I think I got just the thing." she walked to where they had the stuff they bought for the time being and took out a pink and white kitty kigurumi.
"You actually bought that?" Yang asked with a laugh.
"No, obviously she stole it." Neo singed back.
