They walked to the roof. Ruby waited for Weiss to speak first. She could feel the emotions coming from the other girl. When they reached the roof Weiss stared out at the city, "I just watched you die." She said a tear sliding down her cheek.

Ruby walked up behind her and wrapped her arms around her, "That was another life,"

"No Ruby!" Weiss exploded, scaring Ruby, "That may have been another life but it was still you. You just stood there and didn't even try to run. Even when I called out to you…" Weiss yelled before falling to her knees crying.

Ruby knelt in front of her, "Then let me make this new promise," she said taking Weiss's hand in hers, "I shall never run off to fight any creature without you by my side to pull me away from danger." She said pulling Weiss into a hug.

They stayed there, in each other's arms before they heard a voice, "I must say, it's interesting how close the two of you became even without my help." The voice said, and even though they heard it in English, they knew it was said in Dovah.

They looked up and saw the cupid, sitting on the edge of the roof, looking at them, "I had linked the two of you before, but this link that you have now seems almost stronger. Then again it was supposed to link a little girl to her guardian, so for the two of you it had to change itself." It starred off into the distance for a while before saying, "I'm glad to see the two of you again, and Weiss… Ruby was in a very weak state. She barely had enough energy to stand, let alone run." It said before sliding of the railing and walking over to them.

"There are many things that are going to happen in the future between the two of you. But don't worry, you'll work through them. Also Weiss," he turned to her, "keep an eye on your sister. It'd be a good idea to get her enrolled in Signal Academy to get her away from your parents so that they don't take their anger towards you out on her."

Weiss nodded and they both watched as he flew off.

Winter stayed at Beacon for a week. When Weiss's parents called demanding to know where she was Weiss told them she was at Beacon to attend the big dance. They of course argued with her about it, especially after Weiss told them of the plan to send her to Signal. They were going to argue more but Weiss decided to try logic on them. Mainly saying how bad it would look if she was seen covered in bruises because of them taking their anger out on her. That shut them up pretty quickly.

Weiss often found herself wondering how different her past life had been. Parents that actually lover her and her sister, and didn't see them as pawns for their own gain.

The night of the dance Weiss had to suppress a laugh at the sight of Yang and Blake who seemed to look exactly like their past selves on the night of the eclipse ball. She did laugh however at the outfits she had ordered for herself and Ruby, being that they too were like the ones from so long ago.

As she entered the ball room of Beacon she was asked to dance by Neptune, to which she declined. When Ruby entered Weiss said something to the person in charge of the music and handed him twenty Lien. She walked over to Ruby took her hand and led her to the dance floor. When the music started Ruby had to bite her lip to keep from laughing at Weiss's choice of song for their first dance,

"Arwen's Vigil?"

"It's our song. I had Martin go back in time and get a recording of it for tonight." She leaned in close, "Do you even see the irony of tonight?" Weiss asked.

"No. Why? What is tonight?"

Weiss pouted, "Tonight happens to be the night of the Eclipse. The Night where you proposed to me in our past life."

Ruby blushed, "Sorry. I've never paid much attention to the eclipse before." She looked at Weiss, "But now I will." She said. Neither girl noticed that the song had changed, they just happily danced to the slow pace of the new song.

A short distance away Blake was 'hiding' behind Yang, "What's wrong Blake?"

"This scene reminds me of the last dance we had during an eclipse, and I don't feel like getting shot by a cork."

Yang smiled and pulled her to her side, "Relax. I doubt that the DJ even has the song that was… Seriously?" Yang said as the song in question began to play, "Ok, here's what we're going to do. If it looks like they're about to kiss, we dive under the table."

And true enough Ruby and Weiss shared a kiss and just as before flames flared and bottle caps and the corks from bottles of non-alcoholic champagne started to fly around the room. And even though they were under a table Blake and Yang smiled at how the night was almost a replay of the one from so long ago.

The next day Weiss went up to Ozpin's office, "Ah Weiss. To what do I owe the pleasure of your coming to my office?" he asked, taking a sip of his coffee.

"I was hoping that you could pull some strings and get my sister into Signal." Weiss said.

"Hm. It's half-way into the semester but I think I could get her in."

Weiss smiled, "Thanks. And don't worry, her grades will be nothing but the best once she gets squared away."

"I should hope so."

A week later Weiss was walking Winter into Signal. They talked with a few of her teachers, Weiss enjoying her conversation with Qrow. As the day began to come to a close Weiss said goodbye to her little sister outside of the dorm room she would be sharing with another student.

When Winter entered she saw the girl she would be sharing the dorm with. She had long black hair that went all the way down her back, and was skinny but looked like she could out run anything. As she turned around and spotted Winter she smiled and extended her hand, "You must be Winter my new roommate."

Winter shook her hand and smiled, "That's right. It's nice to meet you…" she tailed off, having never learned the girls name.

"Elenor. Elenor Lamb."
