Sorry for the wait, kinda had some things to do, combined with Thanksgiving being here and all that. I'm ready to go now. I own nothing except my ideas and OC's.

Ember and Garnet both ate silently in the Schnee Mansion, Crystal talking about what had occurred while the two were gone, both only barely listening.

"So now I have a baby sister! Pretty cool huh"? Crystal finished.

"H-Huh...oh yeah, real cool". Garnet muttered unconvincingly.

Crystal's smile dropped a bit, knowing the two were not in the best mood. "So...how were you two while you were gone"?

"I trained in the Shado-Pan in Pandaria". Ember responded.

"And I trained my weapons with Uncle Qrow, and sometimes with Rytlock on my Revenant powers". Answered Garnet with a small sigh.

"And your Sembl-" Crystal yelped when Garnet slammed a fist against the table.

"Don't...just...don't." Garnet growled out.

Crystal nodded with a slight shiver.

"Calm down Garnet, it was an innocent question". Calida tried to calm.

Garnet sighed. "Sorry".

"Why...don't we all have a good night sleep? I think all of this reunion stuff has left us a little too excited". Crystal said a bit nervously.

"Yeah...sure". The siblings responded.

Timeskip, 2 hours.

Crystal sighed as she walked into a room, a blonde baby in a golden cradle sleeping, Crystal sat in the chair beside the baby and sighed. "Sorry Sofia, I wish you could meet Garnet and Ember, they would most likely adore you...sadly they're still all over this 'justice' talk about getting revenge on the guy who killed Uncle Ash..." Crystal held herself a bit, staring at the sleeping baby. "I wonder what can we do...he's too strong for all of us...and we have no way of even knowing where he is". Crystal wondered to herself and her sleeping audience. "I...just wish we could all go back...back to when we were having fun, not having to worry about all of this...maybe they could have been in Beacon at this time...I don't know". Crystal whimpered a bit to herself.

Unknown to her, Ember had woken up and had heard most of it, looking down shamefully. "I'm so sorry Crystal...you're right". She muttered as she walked off. "Maybe some things could have ended differently, I wish we could go back too". She said, before catching herself. "Wait...go...back...could it work"? She muttered, pacing in the hall, where she would remain all night.

Timeskip, tomorrow.

Garnet hummed as he sat on a bench in the Schnee gardens, Crystal watching him from afar, a faint blush on her face.

"Why don't you go talk to him"? A Familiar voice sung in Crystal's ear.

"Eep!" She yelped as she turned, seeing a grinning Calida behind her.

"Come on Crystal, its obvious you like Garnet, why not go and get to know him? See if he feels the same"? She asked.

"...I can't...you saw what happened yesterday". She responded.

Calida's face twisted into a small frown. "Yeah...I did...what does that have to do with anything"? She asks.

"If intense emotions get to him...how could I ever make him like me? Or even tell him without making him faint"? Crystal asked.

"..."

"Exactly". She quipped.

"C'mon! You can at least try"! Calida urged.

"No! I...don't feel ready". Crystal muttered.

Calida frowned. "Well, let's change that". She said, grabbing Crystal's hand and walking over to Garnet.

"Wait! What are you doing?!" Crystal asked in a panic.

"Helping". Calida said, walking up to Garnet. "Hey Cous', hope you don't mind if Crystal sits here"? asked Calida, her smirk yet to fade.

"Um...sure". Garnet agreed.

Calida forced Crystal to sit and rushed into a bush, giving her a thumbs up.

Crystal did nothing but look down at her knees, blushing deeply.

"Um...sorry about yesterday...my Semblance is a bit of a..." Garnet began, only for Crystal to look up.

"I-It's fine...don't worry about it, okay Garnet? I...wasn't thinking, I was just trying to cheer you guys up after what happened". Crystal muttered.

"...Thanks". Garnet thanked with a smile, giving Crystal a small side hug, causing the Schnee to let out a small 'meep' in excitement.

"Oh my Gods, girl's gonna faint by the end of this". Calida muttered, watching the scene with a small laugh, only to blink in shock.

THUMP.

"Crystal"! Garnet panicked, the young Schnee having fainted on his shoulder.

"Oh Wow..." Calida muttered, having not seen that coming.

"I'll get you to someone who can help"! Garnet said, grabbing Crystal in bridal style and running off.

Calida stared for a couple of moments, before bursting out laughing.

The Puppetmaster hummed as he sat silently, staring out into space, eyes glowing under his cloak. "A Shame, not even his descendants could match their friend in combat, what good are they to me"? He asked, starting to get up, only to pause and sit back down with a smirk. "But...yes, maybe that will work". He muttered with a sinister chuckle. He moved his hand, the space swirling as he used his influence, signalling a...friend to make his move. "Now...one last chance, whelps, let's see what you got". He said, getting up with a small flourish despite being alone. "Or your friends...and your world, will be gone". He said in finality, vanishing into a portal.

The Puppetmaster is making his move against the GRAAY Kids, what will happen? Who did he send? Find out next chapter. By the way. I have made a decision, I may make a 'Misadventures of Team GRAY' esque story for the GRAAY Kids, what do you guys think? Plus it may help me introduce another character and make way for ANOTHER story. Anyway, I'm going to try and keep up with the updates...I'm sorry for my absence, It was...unacceptable.
