It is 6:45 and Yang is rinsing their cereal bowls out as she reminds Ruby to brush her teeth.
Yang puts their backpacks by the door after checking to make sure they have everything they need for today. Outside the weather is starting to turn to winter and Ruby's jacket sleeves are too short. Yang makes a mental note to take Ruby to the store for a new one. Perhaps a package of cookies will persuade her not to tell Uncle Qrow about their trip when he comes tomorrow.
Ruby is chased downstairs by the sound of a door opening and someone shuffling over the wood floors. Yang thrusts her little sister into her coat and backpack and out the door.

Ruby falls in love with a coat as red as the cloak Mom made for her for her sixth birthday. The hood has a fur ruff and Yang nearly tells her to put it back and find another (cheaper) one.
It's barely within their budget but it's worth it to see Ruby's smile.
…
Yang bullies Ruby into going along with her story of Dad being the one to take them to the store for Ruby's new jacket. She isn't sure Qrow buys it but he doesn't say anything, so it's enough.
AN: Updates will be sporadic and the chapter length probably inconsistent. I have no beta, so please point out any grammar and spelling errors.
Month two into life without Summer and Yang has apparently adjusted well. Brace yourselves.
