Ladybug day 3: Family meet ups can be embarrassing
It was bound to happen. They knew this day was coming. The meeting of the parents. Oh, they were excited for it but… If it weren't for an incident between Qrow and Kali, then things could be going a bit smoother. The Incident happen a while ago, before Qrow knew about Ruby relationship with Blake when the couple went to Menagerie. Qrow had wanted to check in on his niece so he disguised himself as a crow as soon as he arrived.
Flashback start
It was a picturesque day in Menagerie, Ilia was walking down the road after having a nice lunch at the city square. "Hey Ilia" an off-duty guard called out to her "how's it going". "Going good boys how about you- "interrupted by a caw, Ilia looked up at the crow. "What's the matter Ilia?" asked another guard. Ilia answered with a concerned look, "crows aren't indigenous around here… I think there's gonna be trouble come on!" Ilia and the off-duty guards then ran after the bird as it headed towards the Belladonna manor. Kali walking down the hall, greeting a passing maid notices an odd bird outside the window. "is that a crow" Kali wonders, she then notices a pen on the floor most likely dropped by the passing maid. As she bends to pick the pen up she then feels eyes on her, but her thoughts are interrupted by a young girl's voice. "Afternoon Miss. Belladonna" greeted Ruby Rose "you okay?" Oh afternoon dear and yes I'm fine" Kali replied "just felt as if… lecherous eyes were on me". "Huh" Ruby gave a curious look. "Again, dear its nothing so you a Blake are heading into town?" "yep she's giving me a full tour plus she said there's a weapons shop that will make my jaw drop!" Ruby said barely containing her excitement. "We're also gonna get lunch that has the best seafood and bake goods" Blake add as she walked up to join her mother and girlfriend.
Kali chuckled and bid the girls good bye hoping they enjoyed themselves. Blake then looked at her Girlfriend, "well ready to go my rose?" she asked. "ha ha ha, yes I am" Ruby answered. The two girls then lean into each other two share a kiss but as they got closer they were the split apart by an unshaven man. "WHOA WAIT WHATS GOING ON HERE!" Qrow asked franticly. "Uncle Qrow?!" Ruby asked surprised by the unannounced visitor. "What's going on here" Kali reentered the scene curious of the noise. "I knew it, there is an intruder here" Ilia burst though one of the doors that into the hall followed by several guards as well as Ghira. "Who is that man!" the large man demanded. Ruby stepped in to calm the situation, "Ah that's my uncle! He can turn into a bird! It's okay". The guards began to murmur until Kali spoke "so you were the bird outside the window… that explains the lecherous gaze I felt". This caught Ghira's attention "WHAT?!" the large and now intimidating man barked as he now looked at Ruby's uncle. "That's your WIFE!" Qrow answered completely shocked. Everyone was quiet, the only one speaking was Qrow who was now nervous as a very angry Ghira was now stomping toward him "okay let's calm down, heh heh *gulp*" Qrow begged. Everything did calm down as Qrow was given a Black eye.
Flashback end
The Belladonna's, Qrow, and Taiyang now sat at a dinner table in a restaurant in awaked silence, Qrow, Tai, and Ruby at one side and the Belladonnas on the other. Qrow decided to start the conversation "Hey Mrs. Belladonna…. Uh… long time now see?" Ruby faced palmed. "Mr. Branwen" Ghira intercepted "you can turn into a bird… you do know cats like to catch and EAT birds?" Blake faced palmed. "Ghira that was uncalled for!" Kali scolded her husband for his remake while Taiyang looked confused. "uhh did I miss something here?" Tai asked. "it's nothing Tai" Qrow answered. "So, did you raise Ruby together? If you don't mind asking" Kali asked hoping she wasn't offending the two men "yep just us two" Taiyang answered with a smile. "Well you two are great fathers. See Ghira you had nothing to worry about!" "wait a minute" Qrow said wondering what Kali was implying. "Of course, you have nothing to worry about! Ruby is a wonderful and prefect angel" Tai responded with a proud smile. "Oh, I know she had two fathers who love her very much! So, I must know how did you two meet?" Kali asked now curious about the relationship between Qrow and Tai. "hold on" Qrow tried to interject but Tai continued. "Oh, he's my brother-in-law, I was married once!" Kali then made a curious face "so you left your wife for her brother?". "I guess you can say that…" Tai's eyes went wide "wait do think we… Qrow and I are…" "I didn't think you were" Ghira responded as he drink from a glass of water "Oh no we're not… we're straight… and we have nothing against gay marriage for the record! We completely support Ruby dating your daughter heh heh!" Tai said nervously. Tired of the awkward talk the two girls (as if they could read each other's mind) Got up at the same time. "I got to go to the bath room" ruby said followed by Blake who used the same excuse.
Now in the waiting section of the restaurant Ruby sat down on the couch. "This could've gone better" Ruby said exhausted from the meeting of the families. Blake started to reassure her lover sitting next to her. "its fine Ruby, sure it started rocky but that why we're here. So, our folks would get to know each other better. I'm sure they find some common ground, something that they both love and share it". Ruby looked up at Blake agree with what she said. "you're right, I'm worried about nothing. They're going to find something they both like and then BOOM friends" The girls then heard familiar laughter coming from the table they were sitting at, looked at each other with smiles and headed back. What they saw was a welcoming sight. Their parents laughing with each other while looking their scrolls! Ruby curious of the commotion began to ask "hey guys what's so funn-" But stopped when she head the audio from the scroll. "I'm mah big giwl now" a toddler Ruby can be heard saying from the scroll. "Yep that's her first time using the potty all by herself" Tai explained proudly to Kali who complimented the child in the video "Oh she is just adorable". Ruby enthusiastic smile turned into an embarrassed and horrified frown, her face turning redder than her cloak and namesake combined. "Ruby it's okay they just baby-" but Blake was interrupted by her father with his own baby videos of her. "You have to see this, Blake starting a fight with a stray cat!". It was Blakes turn to feel the embarrassment and horror that Ruby was now feeling. "My fish! Not yers mahne!" the audio can be heard saying. "Haha that hilarious" Qrow said as he watched the child holding a fish like a big stuff bear while trying to shoo away a cat with her foot. "I know right?" Ghira agreed with Qrow as the four adults watched more embarrassing videos of their children. The two girls were right, their Parents did find something in common, embarrassing their kids.
