A/N: Hey, it's Pyg again with a new chapter. So, how about those Oscars, eh? Special shout-out to the only guy in my little clique of friends who watched the Oscars. I just saw the music video for the song used as foreshadowing in "Amnesiac." Coldplay's The Scientist. I have to say, it was much better than I was expecting. It made me feel almost as sad as when the main plot started to happen in "Amnesiac." Anyway, more stuff happens in this chapter today! Yay!

"Well?" Said an extremely angered voice.

"'Well' what?" Said an equally angry, yet soft voice.

I opened my eyes to find myself under fire from the stares of my companions, who stood over me as if they were in a tightly packed football huddle. I tried to stand, but they just pushed me back down onto what I recognized as a soft and surprisingly comfortable bed. I laid there for a few seconds, still taking cover from my ogling friends and their icy cold stares full of worry.

I don't need or in any way want your pity. I myself don't even know what happened.

I elected to ask them what had transpired, but they gave disapproving looks instead, as if to say, "If you heard, you would have wished we didn't tell you."

But I too was well versed in the language of the body. I returned with a look of saddened anger, trying to say, "sure, I'll let you guys tell me what happened whenever you feel that I can 'handle the truth.'"

Just then, a pair of boots sounded off in the doorframe. A small cough also feebly made its way out to grab attention. It succeeded. My friends all simultaneously turned their heads to the door, shooting a look of concern at the person in the doorframe.

"Relax…She just suffered from a small blackout. It comes natural with shocking events such as an old friend coming 'back from the dead' only to welcome them with hurtful words filled with hate and disdain," said a voice that I could immediately recognize as Velvet.

Clamoring and calamity between my friends ensued.

All of a sudden, a voice rings out in the middle of all the chaos.

"Will all of you please shut up!? I feel like my ears are bleeding!"

"…"

"Thank you."

Then I realized that without knowing it, I had just shouted angrily at my friends.

"Velvet. How and why are you here?"

"Oh…Um…All I know is that someone had forgotten to have my body properly embalmed, so I sat there, dead as a doorknob for a day. Then, I was dug up by the same person that killed me, and was taken back to the White Fang, where the needed blood was pumped into the body, and was given a pulse through those paddle things that shock you. I've forgotten what they were called…Defibrillators! That was it! I woke up as if I had woken up from a bad dream, and was given another chance. Now, I work with the more kind and caring branch of the White Fang that helps people who've been injured."

I had no idea what went through her head when she was given that decision. It's either "live life," or it's, "Work with the organization that killed you, and then conspired to murder the person that you lived with in your time on the streets of Vale." I don't think I'd take the latter.

"Well then. Anyway, we came here to find Adam Taurus. Do you know where we can find him?"

The crowd of the worried gaze had shifted to form a pathway to Velvet.

"Last I heard he was headed toward our old outpost near the University. I think I heard one of the workers here mention it in a conversation as 'Vac-U,' or Vacuo University."

Ruby butted in with, "Thanks for the tip. It's been nice seeing you again," but Velvet just looked at her, half confused, half angry.

"You what? I'm gone from the face of Remnant for years, and the most you drum up is 'nice seeing you again?' I'm coming with you! You'd get hopelessly lost without me."

"That is true. You do always seem to know your way around."

"And so we all set out for Vac-U, trying to find the smallest resemblance of a cure and—"

"That's all our time gone, Flower, time to go."

"S**t. Well, Easter's coming early for you guys. See you when I do."

A/N: Man…Don't you guys just love exposition? I know I do! I think I'm also really bad at science fiction and ways to bring the dead back to life. If you think I'm not, say something about it in the reviews. After all, they are really appreciated.
