Ruby silently cursed her luck, this morning was awkward enough already. Ozpin had asked that as a precaution the future team RWBY stay covert for the time being. But here they were, standing in the middle of the hall, their future selves right behind her, and she had no idea what to say. Ruby's mind was racing, desperately trying to come up with something.

"Uh...they're uh...I-I mean they're..."

She saw the looks of suspicion and confusion forming on her friend's faces, which only proved to make her more nervous. She turned and looked at her team and at their future selves with a look on her face that practically shouted "Help me." but all she got were looks that told her that they too had no idea what to do. Turning back she finally let out an uncomfortable sigh.

"Yeah, I got nothing." she said in defeat. Her words made the looks on JNPR's faces to turn from ones of suspicion and confusion to just plain confusion.

"Uh Ruby? What's...what's going on? And why do your friends look like you-" Jaune was cut off as the older Ruby quickly spoke.

"Guys, quick! Emergency plan B!" she said. The next thing they knew, their future selves bolted past them and grabbed JNPR and whisked the into their dorm and slamming the door.

The younger team RWBY just stood there dumbfounded as they looked at their door. Weiss turned to her partner.

"You are such a dunce."


Yet again, both team RWBYs were met with an uncomfortable silence. On one side of their dorm was JNPR, and on the other was both their neighbors and their now ousted future selves. They had lost track of how many times Jaune had opened his mouth only to closed it not a second later. None of them knew how much time had passed before the older Yang let out a groan.

"Jeez would one of you say something already. This silence is so boring." she said from her perch on Ruby's bed as she tossed her magazine. Weiss rolled their eyes.

"Only Yang could get bored by silence." the younger heiress said.

"Ah shut it, Snowflake." the older blonde said before picking up her magazine. Ruby walked up to her friends.

"Look I know this is a lot to take in guys, but we're telling the truth. These women are us from the future." Ruby was met with silence again until they all turned upon hearing Nora's voice.

"This. Is. AWESOME!" she cried as she flew past Ruby and nearly knocked her down.

"Icantbelieveyouguysarefromthefuturewhatarewelikeinthefuturearerenandistilltogetherbutnotliketogethertogetherimeanjusttogether..." Nora just kept asking her questions, although none of the future team could understand her because of how fast she was talking.

"Nora." Ren said getting his partner's attention.

"Yes Ren?"

"Come sit back down."

Not a moment later, Nora was back on Blake's bed next to her partner.

"Sorry Ren." she said in a sing-song voice. It was then the other members of JNPR spoke.

"This is incredible! I never thought something like this was even possible!" Pyrrha said, the shock in her voice being very noticeable.

"I don't know guys...I mean this is all just to weird for me." Jaune said.

"It's the truth, Jaune." said the older Ruby. Jaune just looked at her and then to her younger counterpart.

"What's my middle name?" he asked. Ruby raised her visible eyebrow.

"What?"

"My middle name. What is it?" he asked again.

"Luna. Your full name is Jaune Luna Arc. You have seven sisters. And at the Beacon dance you wore a dress because Pyrrha didn't come with a date." Ruby said with a smirk. Jaune just looked at the older women, surprised by how much she knew about him.

"Looks like you might of broken his brain Ruby...nice one." Yang said as the two bumped fists. Pyrrha meanwhile shook her partner back to his senses.

"Jaune? Are you alright?" she asked her crush. Jaune shook his head.

"Huh? Oh yeah, I'm good, Pyrrha. Just still a little shocked. Thanks for asking." he said and causing Pyrrha to turn away and hide her blush. But she didn't hide her blush well enough from the future RWBY who let out a collective aw.

"That's so cute. I'd forgotten how adorable those two were back then." Yang said leaning over the edge of Ruby's bed.

"And how oblivious Jaune was." Blake added. Lucky for them the two hadn't heard them.

"So now that that's out of the way, whose hungry?" the younger blonde asked.

"I am starving! The cafeteria should still be serving breakfast. Come on, let's go!" Ruby said. As they headed out however, Ruby noticed that their future selves weren't following.

"What are you guys doing just sitting there? Come on." The future team RWBY just looked at the young leader.

"Uh, you do remember what Ozpin said right? That we are to lay low so as to not arouse suspicion." Weiss said.

"Yeah, but most people are either stupid or won't care. The only people we really have to worry about are Sun and his team, team CFVY, maybe a few Professors but that's really it. Besides if anyone does ask, we'll just say you're our aunt or something. Now come on, before Nora takes all the pancakes!" Ruby said.

They looked at her for a moment before turning to each other and shrugging.


Ruby's words held true as the group sat at their normal table, enjoying a much needed meal. Every now and again they would catch students staring at them but it was only a quick glance. Blake for her part could hear the various conversations they were having, and told the young leader was wrong. These people were stupid and they didn't care. At least that's what she thought.

None of them noticed the two unsettling characters by the doors. The two individuals seemed to be studying them, and unlike the other student, noticed the many similarities between the two teams.

"So what do you make of them?" Mercury asked his partner.

"Not sure. But something is defiantly up with those women." Emerald replied.

"Heard a few people saying they're those loser's aunts or something. Think they'll be a threat?"

"Probably. Come on, Merc. We should tell Cinder."


"So what happens to us in the future anyways?" Jaune asked. Both versions of Weiss sighed.

"Jaune, why even ask that? If they told us, then who know what might happen? It could change-" but before Weiss could start her rant, her older self cut her off.

"Look, I get that you all want to know what's going to happen. But you should realize that there might be thing you won't want to hear." she looked around at everyone and noted that they obviously didn't think about that part.

"Listen guys, it hasn't even been a day and we're still adjusting to all this. But seeing as how we agreed to tell Professor Ozpin things about the future, there's no doubt that this will change it in some ways. So we will tell you about what happens, but not right now. Just...give us time." Ruby said. Everyone looked at her and nodded.

They continued talking until they were approached by Ozpin and Glynda.

"Good morning everyone."

"Oh. Good morning Professor Ozpin. Professor Goodwitch." Pyrrha said.

"I'm a little surprised that you four are out and about. I recall asking you to stay out of sight for the time being." Ozpin said, he then noticed Ruby rubbing her neck.

"Sorry, Professor Ozpin. I didn't want our uh "aunts" stuck in our dorm all day." Ozpin smirked.

"Yes, I can see how that might pose an issue." he glanced up and looked at the older blonde. He looked back at Ruby and leaned down.

"I'm assuming that your friends know our guest's true identities?" He whispered.

"Yeah they caught us all in the hall on the way back to the dorm. We only just came up with the whole "aunt" cover." she said.

"I see. I'm assuming you four will keep our guest's secret?" he said now looking at JNPR. They all nodded.

"Good. Well then I suppose I should get to the other reason I'm here. May I?" Ozpin motioned to the empty spot next to Ruby.

"Of course, please."

Sitting down, he turned to Glynda as she tapped on her scroll before handing it to him.

"Now, first I wanted to inform you four that I have taken the liberty of putting you in one of our currently vacant dorms. It's just down the hall from your..."nieces" dorm." he then motioned to Glynda who presented each of them a key.

"Thank you, Professor Ozpin. In truth, we'd forgotten how cramped the dorm already was when we were here." said the other Ruby.

"Believe me, you four weren't the first student to propose bunk beds." he said as he took a sip of his coffee and seeing the embarrassed looks on their faces.

"Apologies but we have digressed. There is a second matter I wish to discuss with you all." Setting his mug down he pulled up a picture of the school and the surrounding area.

"Our security system picked up a disturbance in the eastern forest." They all watched as a dot started blinking along the perimeter.

"Grimm?" Ruby asked.

"It's hard to say. Normally the Grimm stay away from the school's perimeter, but that's why I'm here. I want teams RWBY and JNPR to go and inspect the area and report back. If the Grimm are the cause of this then we'll have to prepare proper countermeasures." he said as he stood up. But instead of turning an leaving he looked at the members of the future RWBY.

"Now that I think about it. Would you ladies be opposed to going as well? I'm sure your "nieces" would enjoy spending some time with you."

The four women looked at their old Headmaster and smirked.

"No problem, sir. We can see how much our nieces have improved since we last saw them." Ruby said before ruffling up her younger self's hair.

"Thank you. Be safe."

With that, the two professors left them and the three teams headed back to their dorms to get their gear. With Ruby bouncing off the walls and saying how excited she was to finally see the future Crescent Rose, and causing Weiss to groan.
