Well, well, well, here we are again. You'll notice that this one is a little shorter than my usual forte. You'd be correct, it is. I needed kind of a transition point into the next chapter just so that it could flow smoothly, and this was the result. Just a quick look at the main team, a quick catch up if you will.

Hope you enjoy!

"Yang?" A familiar voice called out to her, breaking the blonde teen from her stupor. Lilac eyes blinked as their owner realized just what had happened: She had been dragging her fork around her empty plate as her mind wandered, though now she looked up at a familiar man with a light scuttle he called a beard, instantly recognizing her father. "You okay? You've been quiet ever since you got home."

"Oh, yeah, I'm fine." Yang waved off, dropping what was left of her silverware. "I'm just a little tired, I guess."

"You sure that's all? He replied with a smirk, "I know when something's bothering you, you know?"

With a heavy sigh, Yang realized that she had been had and that the jig was up. "Yeah, actually," She said, "there is something on my mind…"

"There we go!"

"Remember that thing I told you about when I got home? That incident at The Nordic Lotus?" Her father nodded his head as she continued, "That's been on my mind… Quite a few other things, honestly."

"Ah, I see. What other things?"

Yang shrugged before sitting back in her chair, "Just these incidents with Ruby, you know? She's not normally a fighter or someone to get so involved, but that confrontation that I missed yesterday, and that volleyball thing today, and now with Mrs. Valkyrie hounding her, I don't know what I can do for her, you know?"

"What are you talking about, Yang? What other things can you do?"

"Well, I mean…" She sighed, defeatedly, trying to find her words to describe what she was thinking, "It's just that… She already has a lot on her plate. Her parents work full time, she works with her apartment owners, and has school to work with… I don't like how she's having all this stress put on her. Sure, she went all out during gym class today- and I'm proud of her for that- but I'm afraid that too much might be happening at once for her, you know?"

"Not really."

"Alright, so, it's easy to see that she's a busy girl. Sometimes I'm worried that she's so busy that she forgets to eat… I think Nora's mom brought up a good point, but it just wasn't right, how she did it."

"How much does she weigh, though?"

"She says a hundred and five."

Her father nodded, "And how old is she?"

"Fifteen."

"That's average for a girl her age…"

"And it's a load of bullshit." This response caused the man to raise an eyebrow towards his daughter as she folded her arms before her chest. "I've actually picked her up, I've carried her around for fun… She is not one-hundred pounds, let alone one-o-five."

"So why lie about it?"

"Keep us off her back? I don't know…"

"Maybe she doesn't want you to worry about her all that much? She sounds like a capable young lady."

"And she is, but I can't help but worry for her…"

"Whelp," He said, standing up from his seat and picking up his newly emptied plate, "I don't know what to tell you. If she doesn't want to be bothered then it's her right, even as a practitioner of medicine you can't force help on someone."

"But what if she doesn't know that she needs help?"

"It doesn't matter." He picked up his protesting daughter's plate and maneuvered towards the sink, dropping them within. "It's her parent's obligation to her well-being, and since there's no sign of neglect or abuse, then we can't intervene. I'm sorry." Yang's shoulder's dropped dejectedly as she sighed, "I know you want to help, but sometimes there's just nothing we can do."

"No… There's always something we can do."

"There we go." Ruby said with a deep sigh as she finished the window. "That outta keep the cold air out when winter comes." She turned back to an older woman, her neighbor as a matter of fact, Miss O'Reilly. She was an older woman, in her early nineties, but was still fully capable of living on her own. However, she couldn't do the task that the young teen before just accomplished. Ruby had saran wrapped all three of the old neighbor's windows for the impending cold blast that winter brought, wanting it done now before it got too late and before she could lose more on her bill.

The brunette teen lifted a few cords from the side of the molding, pulling them back and retracting them when she found what she was looking for. "Cool, so if you want and if it's a nice day outside, you can open the blinds and let in some light without letting in the cold and the cover won't come off."

"Oh, thank you, darling." The older woman said with a smile, standing with her cane in her right hand and observed. Her apartment was framed just like Blake's was, except the paint job was different; most of the space was painted a navy blue. The bedroom and bathroom to the right and the kitchen to the left. Ruby was in the center room at the window, coming down from the coffee table she had used as a step ladder, per the owner's advice. "You did all that rather fast, too."

Ruby shrugged easily, "Eh, I'm good at what I do."

"That you are." Miss O'Reilly nodded in agreement, walking back into the kitchen and towards her fridge. There was a small, windowless gap in the wall separating the two rooms which allowed Ruby to peer into the cooking area and eye her neighbor, who reached in for a bottle within. She set it down on the counter and closed the door before turning back to her young helper. "You've helped us out a lot, you know? I don't know what I would do without you."

"I'm sure someone in Maintenance would help you out." Miss O'Reilly shook her head and handed the fresh bottle of water to the red-themed teen before her, who gladly accepted it.

"Yes, they could, but not as happily as you did it. They would probably mumble and groan where you didn't have an issue with helping me." Ruby's cheeks reddened lightly as she tried her best to hide away her blush, a small smile broke through her failed stoic expression. "You're so cheerful, I don't know how you do it."

"Youthful optimism?" Ruby shrugged, "That's what Neo calls it at least."

"Ah, and how are they doing? Your 'bosses', I mean?"

"Oh, uh…" Silver eyes tore away from the woman as she tried to think of an excuse. Since she has been home today they seem to tolerate each other, but the past few days? "Well… They're trying, you know? Winter's coming, stuff keeps breaking, all of that on top of losing their assistant for half of a night or longer to do homework, things can get kinda frustrating for them."

"I can imagine." The woman nodded, pouring herself a cup of coffee, "However, I'm not sure if it's just the seasonal change getting to them."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you said it yourself, honey." The older woman said with a serious grin, "You're their assistant, and yet you're in no position to assist them. I know Neo gives you the pass, but Junior doesn't seem to care about your own schooling, much like he never cared for his own."

The red-themed teen raised her eyebrows in surprise, the new information sparking some interest. "If it's too much to ask," She began, "What are you talking about? They don't like to tell me about their levels of education."

"Ah, there's that youthful curiosity, child. Well, to start, Junior's definitely not the same man he was before his father passed." She set her cane atop the kitchen counter and began to recall a story, "He was in his first year at college learning about business when he met his now wife through a mutual friend. They hit it off well, but you knew that they weren't really the perfect couple. His father became ill midway through his first semester, so he cancelled his classes and came home to run the complex. He's been doing that ever since and Neo has been helping him. I think, personally- I have no right to judge but it's a woman's intuition- that he feels unfulfilled. He gave up everything to keep this place running and I think he doesn't value education as much as he used to.

He wants you to be the one who does what he did and run this place when he's gone, but I know that Neo doesn't want that for you. She wants you to do better than both of them combined, do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Because you deserve it, child."

Silver eyes blinked as their own stood silently, taking all of the information and opinion in stride. It makes sense, why Junior hasn't cared much for what she does in school and why Neo bans her from working until her homework is done. It makes sense that he doesn't care much for the school sanctioned events while Neo will let her go. It answers some questions but raises so many more. Are they fighting because they don't agree with how they're handling their education? Are they at each other's throats daily because of their own histories? So many more, too… She wanted to press the woman- this fountain of knowledge- but as she opened her mouth to speak her phone began to ring.

"Oh, my, I'm sorry." Ruby said with a blush, reading the name on the screen, "That's Neo, sorry. Just a second." The woman beyond the gap nodded with a smirk as her guest answered the ringing device, trying to be as brief as possible. "Okay… Yeah, alright, I'll be right down." She hung up and closed her phone before sighing deeply.

"The real world came back, didn't it?"

"With a vengeance." Ruby chuckled, "Barely four o'clock and this place is still jumping."

"Well, that's a shame." Miss O'Reilly picked up her cane and walked out from the kitchen and into her living room, picking up the water bottle atop her counter and walking towards Ruby, "You've done very nice work for me today and I wish that there was a way for me to repay you other than giving you a water bottle and a pat on the back."

"You don't need to worry about, Miss O'Reilly, honest." Ruby admonished, accepting the bottle she was generously given, "This is my job, after all."

"Ah, and for all that you do, those two bosses of yours don't really give you much."

"Well, they kinda give me a place of my own to live at instead of their couch, so I guess there's that…"

"Yes, you're right, but I'm sure they could do more for you."

Ruby physically stiffened as she headed towards the door, the woman she once assisted opened the one-and-a-half thick plank, though the guest stopped abruptly, eager to have the last, and polite, word. "Miss O'Reilly, I… I love Neo and Junior. Honestly, I do. They took me in, gave me a home and a job… Sure, their intentions may have been a little skewed at first, but they gave me chance at a better life than what I had and I'm here now because of them. I don't want to be a bother- Nor do I want to be a materialistic brat who cries when she doesn't get the newest phone or the best car. I just want to return the favor for when they helped me."

"Honey, you miss the point of what I'm trying to say." The older woman admonished, placing a caring hand on Ruby's shoulder, "I'm not saying that they don't do enough for you, I'm saying that for all that you do for everyone here, a lot of us feel that you don't get the recognition that we feel you deserve. Sometimes getting more than a pat on the back is a good thing, especially when you've earned it."

Ruby took her words in stride, but ultimately felt the opposite. Still, she couldn't stay here and argue all day; Neo needed her downstairs for something important. "I have to go, Miss O'Reilly." She said, causing the older woman to nod easily. She walked out of the apartment and groaned once the door closed. No, she didn't need new things, she didn't deserve recognition, she didn't need anything. What she needed was a roof over her head and a reason to keep going, to keep pushing. And that's just what Neo was giving her.

"Am I the only one still curious about her?"

"What are you talking about, Coco?"

"This Blake chick? She comes out of nowhere and says she knows you and Ruby-"

"- Because she does."

"That's beside the point, Velvet."

"Mm, not sure if it is." Velvet chuckled as she carefully combed her hair around her rabbit ears, her eyes locked on the mirror before her. "I think it's just blind luck that she got put up right next to Ruby… Literally. Honestly, it's kinda ironic to think about."

"What are you talking about?" Coco inquired, moving her scroll away from her face as she laid atop her bed, lazily.

"Well, back at the orphanage, Blake's bed was right next to Ruby's. I think that's irony."

"Mm, not sure about that." Brown eyes sharply turned towards the normally flashy young woman across the room, who stuck her tongue out playfully. "Listen, I'm just not sure how much I trust her, considering how little I know about her. Besides, why does Ruby say she doesn't remember Blake? Got an explanation for that?"

The faunus deeply sighed and rolled her eyes before standing up from the mirror, "Well, if you'd lose your attitude I'd be happy to explain it." Coco pouted as Velvet sat on her sister's bed, turning her body to face the relaxed woman before her. "Blake, to put it simply, was an entirely different girl back then. She had short hair, just like Ruby does now, and she didn't wear a bow. Maybe that's what's got Ruby all mixed up? Plus her face has matured completely whereas Ruby is still as baby-faced as ever."

"Oh, baby-face! That's a good nickname."

"Oh, she also left when Ruby was about nine, probably more eight, though, if I remember the dates right."

"So childhood forgetfulness and an appearance change is blocking Ruby's memory?" Velvet nodded easily. "Well, it makes sense… But how did she remember you so easily?"

"Well, I didn't lose my accent nor did I change my look." The faunus replied, rubbing her chin in thought, "It's just a theory of mine, but if by Friday Ruby doesn't remember Blake then I'm going to sit down with her."

"And do what?"

"What do you think? See if I can jog her memory."

Weiss sat at the large table with perfect posture as she calmly devoured her dinner that sat before her. Today, she was all alone at the house, save for a few of the workers and her sister Winter, who was out on leave from the Atlas military. The older Schnee had opted out of going home with her father and instead chose to stay with her younger sister, for reasons that she wouldn't say, but Weiss knew. Their father wasn't exactly the best person to be around when work got… Hectic.

The Schnee sisters were staying in their families Vale vacation home, one of many properties they owned throughout the world. While Weiss was attending Beacon, it only made sense that she at least lived within the city limits of Vale to make an easy commute to the school. Her father would be as attentive as possible, but had business to attend to in her homeland of Atlas, which meant that he was only there maybe five percent of the time. Still, it was a blessing to not have him around.

But of course, that left her dear older sister to bother her.

"So, Weiss." Winter began, breaking the silence that the two had shared since their meal had begun, "I understand that your school went into a lockdown today."

The shorter Schnee across the table, rolled her icy-blue eyes as her shoulders slumped. "Oh, please, Winter, I've been here since noon and you're just now talking about this?"

"Well, I'm trying to start conversation. This meal is awfully dull without your friends to harass."

"Or a family to judge?"

"Right." Winter dropper her silverware onto her plate and leaned into the table, propping her elbows up and interlocking her fingers in front of her face, a pose she learned from her father from a young age. Winter wasn't fond of Weiss' friends, to say the least. She had done her part to stay away from the business world, and these kids were why. So snobbish, so annoying and entitled and Winter feared that they would be a bad influence on her dear young sibling. "So, since this is the first time I've actually gotten to talk to you-"

"-Which that statement alone can be disputed."

"-And if you interrupt me again I'm going to hit you." The military woman responded harshly, causing a sideways smirk from Weiss, "How was your day?"

"It was interesting for the first two hours."

"And I take it you were locked down past that?" Weiss nodded easily, "Well, tell me about those two hours. I know this morning you said you were going to talk to that one girl about what she did to Emerald… Oh, what was her name?"

"Ruby."

"Right."

Weiss nodded and did her best to hold back a blush, remembering the outcome of that conversation. "Well," She began with a mild stutter, "Our conversation was… Very one sided."

"You yelled at her, didn't you?"

"No, no! No… Not exactly…" Winter folded her arms in front of her chest as one of the helpers took her plate from her, glaring daggers at the heiress before her who shrunk in her seat. "Yes, I did."

"And? What else happened?"

"I insulted her, she fought back, she had a friend who came to her rescue, and then we went to gym class." The shorter teen briefly explained. "That's the short of it." She waved off the same helper that took Winter's food, silently saying that she wasn't done with her second course yet. Their home was more of a mansion, fit for a large family… Or in their case, a rich family. The dining hall held a table that could fit up to ten people, but could be added on to in case of emergency. "About an hour or so later the brat spiked a ball into Cinder's face."

"Really?" Weiss nodded carefully as her sister clapped with glee, "Wow, I think I like her."

"I don't think you would." The heiress reasoned, shaking her head as she continued to eat, "She's very… What's the word? Unprofessional? No, but that's close…"

"Incompetent?"

"I'm sure that's a good one, too, but still no." Weiss thought carefully, trying to find the right word to describe the brunette girl with red-streaks in her hair. She turned back towards the servant behind her and raised an eyebrow. "Got an idea?"

Short male with a towel around his arm stiffened up as he explained, "I believe the word you're looking for, Miss Schnee, is 'unsuited'."

Weiss snapped her fingers, "That's it. Unsuited. She's not exactly the most refined person in the world. She hangs out with Yang Xiao Long." The elder sibling carefully nodded in thought, "But if you give me some time, I'm sure I can work with her and straighten her out."

"You think so?" The tall young woman inquired, causing the teen across the table to blink in surprise, silently asking her own question. "Well, I'd be careful with that train of thought. Not everyone is cut out for proper life, after all."

A yellow rag sat in the sink as the faucet ran lukewarm water on it, flooding the sink as the fabric sat over the drain. Blake eyed the water as it barely filled half of the bowl before finally shutting the water off and taking the rag out, wringing it out as the sink finally began to drain. She flattened the rag out and ran it over her face, then down her neck before moving towards her bare torso. The night was young, barely eight o'clock, but she had decided to call it early; the events in school earlier left her rather drained.

As she washed up, she couldn't help but wonder about her neighbor, who had not come home yet. During the last few nights, she's been able to eavesdrop on the young teen next door with the help of her extra ears, her curiosity peaking for a long while now. Though most of her questions were answered during her talk with Velvet and Coco earlier today. As far as the rabbit faunus knew, Ruby had been at this complex for about three years. However, Ruby would still be at that foster home, but she ran away to Vale to take matters into her own hands. The matters, in this case, is finding her family.

The very reason the silver-eyed girl was stuck in that home was because she was supposed to be picked up by a family member after an accident of some kind. Over the years, though, it was clear that this wasn't going to happen. After a while, especially after Blake left, Ruby decided that she shouldn't wait for somebody. She should begin the search herself.

And once Velvet revealed that, Blake was instantly washed over with guilt. Truth be told, she wasn't adopted. No, she ran away, unable to take it anymore- the memory of that night burned her mind. She said goodbye to her friend, jimmied the lock to the window and used a tree outside of the house as a ladder to get to the ground safely. She had plans to find a nice foster home, something that she had heard about but never experienced, seeing as though she stayed at that place for so long. Over time, Ruby must have felt the same… 'She must have gotten the idea from me.', Blake thought to herself. 'Clever girl.' She was proud of her old friend and also very happy that Ruby found a better life than what she found in the city…

Blake shook the thought away and tossed the towel in the bathtub to dry for the night, picking up a nearby towel and dried herself, taking a deep breath in an attempt to relax. Deep in her mind, the faunus now had more questions than answers: Why did Ruby really run away? Did she have any help? Who did she run to or how did she end up here? How in the world did she get into Beacon? And most of all, why doesn't she remember…? Her mind kept running as she shut off the bathroom light and walked into her bedroom, picking up her black yakuta and throwing it over herself. The lights in her apartment were all off, save for the one in the kitchen that only stayed dim, but it wouldn't matter; she could see clear as day regardless.

She sat beside her bed and picked up her scroll, opening it to a newspaper app as she got cozy with her blankets. She was right where she wanted to be: Night time with nothing to do, no lights, no work, curtains closed and her books. First, Blake wanted to catch up on her news, then she'd finish the tome she started in school today. Her screen was dimmed to avoid blinding the reader, and even though her eyes glossed over the words, her mind just wasn't absorbing the information of that article. She had failed to clear her mind and was still thinking about that girl next door, who she could hear rummaging around her room for something. Sure, the walls were thick enough, but her hearing was better than that… What the hell was Ruby looking for? It sounded like paper… She could also hear grunting? Maybe her work was caught in her backpack?

As Blake imagined the sight of Ruby searching for… Whatever it was she was searching for, the faunus' mind took her away to problem solving: Was it concerning that Ruby had yet to bring up that home? Sure. But maybe she didn't want too. Maybe it was just bad memories she wanted to keep away. Besides, another reason for her being so confused is that Blake herself had changed so much since they had last seen each other. Her voice matured, she had a much more vicious glare in her eyes, the bow. Yet both Ruby and Velvet hadn't changed a bit…

'Or maybe you're thinking too far into this and she doesn't want to remember you.'

Blake rolled her eyes and sighed to herself, 'Oh, brain, you know I just love your usual brand of self-pity and a lack of any form of positivity. Really, you bring out the best in me.'

'Why thank you!'

'Asshole.' She chastised herself as her ears twitched, hearing a small 'aha' from the next room. Whatever Ruby was looking for, she found it, and quickly ran out of the room. In fact, she ran out of the apartment entirely. Amber eyes blinked as their owner raised a brow, jumping off the bed with curiosity as she walked to the door. Ensuring her yakuta was closed, Blake opened the door slightly and peeked her head out, seeing the sight of a short girl in a red jacket running into the stairs… What the hell is going on here? She's still not done?

That's another question for the list: Just who are Neo and Junior and what are their intentions for Ruby?

"Are you serious about this, Ruby?" Neo inquired honestly, observing the paper before her as Junior sat on the other side of the table, a cigar lit in his mouth. "There's probably some strict health requirements to go along with this…"

"And like being healthy is a bad thing?"

The man huffed, calling attention to himself, "That's not the point, skinny."

"I'd like you to stay out of it, mister." Neo chastised, setting the packet down and leaned into the table with a sigh, "I knew we shouldn't have talked about this now…"

Silver eyes glanced at the man across from her, who ran his fingers through his short hair, and then towards the woman beside her, who held up her head with both hands firmly on her forehead. "Is… everything alright?" She inquired honestly, hoping for either of them to respond in kind.

"Yes, it is." Neo quickly responded, sitting back in her chair, "I don't know what to say, I mean… More power to you… Why do you need to talk to us about it?"

"Well, Professor Goodwitch said that I need my parent or guardian's permission, so…"

"Yeah, legal guardian." Junior said, shaking his head, "we're not that."

"You've gotten away with it so far!"

"Ru, they'll actually look into this. It requires a health screening and our signature. They'll go through the city files to make sure that it's all legit, I know how that process works for Beacon, I had a friend who went there once." She glanced at her husband, who raised his eyebrows as her let a puff of smoke escaped his lips, pointing it away from the girls and towards a vent out of respect. "I'd love to sign you off, but doing so blows our cover completely."

Ruby took in a deep breath while closing her eyes, letting the stale air fill her lungs before calmly exhaling. After a long day, she didn't want to argue… Then again… "Okay," She began, calmly, "If I may… Screw the cover." Both Junior and Neo eyes each other, then eyed their assistant as she continued, "I get it, we need to lay low so the city doesn't come after me, but Beacon and Signal are institutions that would gladly hand over those files of me if ever those… What did you call them, Neo?"

"Bureaucratic assholes?"

"Right! If they wanted those files, they could get them with no issue. I've been out in the world for three- nearly four- years now. They don't know I'm gone and they don't care, so I say screw it! Caution to the wind! Let's do it!"

Once again, the dichromatic-eyed woman peered at her husband, who shook his head with a smirk. Of course he wouldn't get involved with this, he barely cared enough to be here now. Which meant that his wife would have to take over and try to reason with the hyped up girl.

"Okay, Ru, I hear you." She said, "There's just… It's not that simple. There's a lot going on and we don't know that they're not looking for you… I'd just be a little careful in just diving in headlong like this." Ruby physically deflated in her seat, which caused Neo's heart to drop. She hated telling Ruby no, and for the first time the teen seemed excited for doing something at school! Normally she'd be forced into showing school pride by going to the games she never cared for, or going to the dances despite her low self-image, but now she wanted to do this! She wanted to play volleyball!

She was really growing up, wasn't she?

"How about this?" Neo began, leaning forward in her seat and propping her elbows on her legs, "We have until the end of the semester to get this in, right?"

"Right." Ruby nodded easily.

"We will consider this, we'll weigh our options and talk it-"

"We?"

"We'll talk it over." She finished harshly, glaring daggers at her husband, "And in time when we have a plan set up, we'll sign you up, okay?"

"Wha- r-really? You mean it?" Neo nodded, causing the child to lightly squeal with glee, pulling her into as massive a hug as she could muster. 'Maybe we're a little quick to judge on that whole growing up thing, huh?' Neo thought to herself as she accepted the embrace, wrapping her arms around the teen with a smile, her chin barely resting on Ruby's shoulders. "Thank you thank you!"

"You happy now, Rose?" Junior's voice broke, stopping anything else from happening and forcing the two girls before him to break their embrace early. Ruby glanced over at the dichromatic-eyed woman, who nodded slowly, causing her to nod as well. "Good. Beat it. It's getting late and you've got school tomorrow."

"But… It's only nine?" Now it was his turn to glare daggers into the teen's soul, causing her to physically stiffen. "Eep… Okay, I-I'll talk to you two tomorrow!" She cried as she rushed out of the room, leaving the packet behind on the table. Neo sat back in her chair and blankly stared at her husband, who shrugged carelessly.

"What? I wasn't wrong."

"Eleven o'clock is late on a school night, Junior."

"Meh. You two talked out what you needed to talk out. I ended a conversation that was finished." His wife continued her glare, causing him to release one last puff of smoke before extinguishing the cigar. "I don't want her to be here all night. Sue me."

"Maybe I will." He shook his head as he rose from the table as she shook her head in annoyance, "You can't keep treating her like that. She's a human being too, and your employee!"

"treating her like what?" He asked with a shrug, "Also, she's your assistant, so she's your employee and your responsibility. Not mine."

"She works for us, damnit! So she's our responsibility! God forbid if anything happens to her it's on us!"

"And I'm trying to leave her out of a position where something would happen to her." He said harshly, slamming his fists into the table, "What are you trying to do?"

She reciprocated the gesture, the look in her eyes as intense as his, "I'm trying to give her a life outside of these walls. Unless you haven't noticed but she doesn't really belong in our world. She's suited for much better."

"Pfft, yeah, right. Keep telling yourself that." He growled, walking back into the bedroom and slamming the door. "You can keep the couch, tonight!"

Outside the apartment, Ruby leaned against the wall, her face holding a worried look as she heard the duo fighting. She knew it wasn't right to be a fly on the wall and eavesdrop like this, nor would it be her place to get involved… But still, these two were family… What was happening to them?

'Am I to blame?'

Huh, interesting development, eh? So, Yang has concerns for Ruby's wellbeing, Coco is suspicious, Velvet doesn't care for what Coco has to say, Blake is still making observations, and Weiss has plans for Ruby, all the while our silver-eyed star is learning more about her bosses! All the while you enjoy the spoils!

… Well, for what little spoils I give, that is.

That being said, what did you think? Not much to look at, I know, but I think it served its purpose. Next chapter, we'll see what Weiss has in store for our little flower, as well as if Blake will grow a pair and confront the same girl about any shared past they might have.

Other than that, we've got a lot in store for next chapter and it might take a little while to get it out- try two weeks+, just to be safe. I've just got some projects and finals that are coming up that might take up most, if not all of my time, so… You're gonna have to stay wondering for a little while… Sorry. Still, I'll do my very best to get you the best I can do.

I hope you all enjoyed, leave a review a tell me what you think!

Until Next Time.
