-Chapter 14-
Frosty Return
We were now in the middle of October, and man I am tired. My teammates and I took the midterm, which is composed of two parts; written and physical examination. I think I did fine with the written exam while I did splendidly well with the physical exam, which my team and I have to retrieve a flag in Emerald Forest while we fight some Grimm on the way. Ruby and Yang did well, but I am not quite sure about their performance on the written exam. Weiss, of course, thought that she did both well on the two parts. Blake also thought both parts weren't half bad.
It was now Friday during our lunch break, and some of us were already looking forward to weekends.
"I want this day be over with and weekend starts as soon as possible!" Ruby moaned.
"Me too!" Yang nodded.
"I kind of agree with you two. It has been quite hectic weeks in the past. At least we got through the midterm." Blake said.
"I think I passed the two parts with a breeze." The heiress said proudly. "But, of course, I am looking forward to the weekends for Neptune and I will go on a date."
"Date?" Yang repeated as she suddenly woke up from her moodiness while Ruby continued to moan and lay her head on the table.
"Yes, a date." Weiss repeated with slight annoyance in her voice. "He will take me someplace nice tomorrow's night I heard. I just can't wait for what it would be. Perhaps it is a fancy restaurant…lovely park….maybe even by the river, serenading me while we take a boat trip…Oooohh."
She daydreamed to herself, mesmerizing the image of her future date. Then, I noticed Yang had a "lightbulb" over her head.
"Uh oh." Blake noticed. "With that face of yours, you have an idea, don't you?"
"That's right!" Yang replied with excitement in her eyes. "Hey Weiss, how about we go on a double date, no, a TRIPLE date this Saturday night?"
"Triple date?" She asked with perplexed look.
"Triple date?" Blake repeated with the same expression like Weiss.
I listened closely to what Yang will say. "You see, all three of us, you, me, and…Ruby can go on a date on the same night! You take Neptune, I will take my bf here, and Ruby can go with Rudy! It will be awesome!"
"Wait…what!?" Ruby gasped.
"Come on, sis! It will be great! And, this will be your chance!" Yang suggested as she nudged her little sister to her arm.
"Y…Yang! I…I don't want to go on a date with him! I mean, he is nice and…cute and all, but we are just friend and partner in the program!" Ruby argued.
"Oh, come on, sis! Don't lie to yourself! You actually like him." Yang said. "Besides…."
She whispered something to her sister's ear. "I noticed you actually wet yourself in your bed couples of time."
Ruby blushed so red like a tomato, she begin hitting her sister. "Yang! Don't say stuff like that!"
"What? It's true, right?" Yang shrugged as she smiled cheekily.
"YANG!" She yelled in annoyance as she gave her a round of hitting, although it didn't look painful, more like playfully.
"Well, if you ask me, I think triple date sounds little bit hectic, but it does sound interesting." I thought aloud.
"Hmmm, you know what, I think it might work." Weiss said. "Sure, Yang, I will participate in this triple date idea of yours. In fact, it may be the best idea you ever thought as long as I know you."
"Teehee! Thanks!" Yang said, looking very proud of her self.
"Do I have to join in? Can it be just a regular double date?" Ruby questioned, sounding like a complaint.
"Sorry, Ruby, but we pretty much have three votes here over your vote." Yang said. Suddenly, like last year, we made that point earning sound as Ruby made the sound for incorrect answer from a TV game show or something. Blake was kind of neutral on the topic since this was out of her business, and not currently into dating or even relationship as of now, but she supported in the idea.
"Come on! Let's go find Rudy, and ask him about the triple date." Yang said determinedly as she got up.
"Wait!" Ruby stopped her. "Now!?"
"Yes!" She and Weiss replied at the same time. Ruby drooped to a lose face. We went outside to check if he was around as Yang dragged her sister.
"Maybe he is at the new freshman dorm." Blake said.
"Let's go there!" Yang said decisively. "So, are you excited for the date, Ruby?"
"Geez, Yang. Why do you have to do this to me?" She cried.
"I am doing this for your own good. Besides, you like him right? You got to tell him eventually. Besides, I think you two look good on you." Yang said. "Both of you starts the name with a letter 'R' and both of you like cookies, and have same hobby."
"How did you know those stuff!?" Ruby asked, panicking a little.
"Sis, you told us right after we completed the mission! Remember?" She reminded her.
Ruby realized it. "Oh yeah, I did…." She now felt regretful for that.
"Miss Weiss Schnee, please report to the headmaster's quarter please. I repeat, Miss Weiss Schnee, please report to the headmaster's quarter please." The Com Speaker announced who really was Prof. Goodwitch.
Weiss looked surprise as the same for us.
"I wonder why Professor Ozpin calls me to his office." Weiss said. "Perhaps, it is some kind of honor award."
"Well, you won't find out if you just stands here. Go to his office." Blake pointed out.
"Alright girls…and boy, I will be back soon." Weiss said as she headed to Professor Ozpin's office. As for us, we continued to find Rudy.
-Weiss' POV-
Weiss went up on the elevator before she arrived to Prof' Ozpin's floor.
In his office, Professor Ozpin, accompanied by Prof. Goodwitch and a third person who was standing by his desk in front of the headmaster, awaited for her.
"Come on." He said. Weiss entered the office, and found a surprising guest.
The third person was a man. He had similar complexion to her. His hair was curved, making six horns like hairstyle over the backside of his hair, revealing if you look at his face. His eyes were the same color like her, but his nose looked sharp. He wore white business suit with a tint of blue color around his collar for the sleeves, and the end of each leg for the pant. He also wore black shoes, and wore white gloves.
"Uncle Blizzard!?" Weiss gasped.
"Why, hello, my little snowflake, Weiss! How have you been?" He said as he walked up to her and gave her a hug. She hugged him back.
"Uncle Blizzard, why are you here at Beacon? In fact, why are you in Vale of all places?" Weiss questioned.
"Well, I am on a business trip and as part of my job, I visited your headmaster and professor here to discuss about the simulation program that he ordered, and explained my reason as to why it is been being delayed and all. I came in person to apologize for the inconvenience that the company is been causing lately." Her uncle explained.
"Oh, I see! But, above all, I am very happy to see you, uncle!" Weiss said before she gave him another hug.
"I am happy to see you, too, Weiss. You've grown up to be a fine lady." He said.
"Your uncle also came here other businesses he must attend to in Vale, and we were just discussing about that." Professor Ozpin said. "But, above all, it seems that he also wanted to meet you, too."
"Thank you very much, Professor Ozpin." Weiss thanked him as she curtsied to him. "This is...a huge surprise!"
"Oh yes, Weiss!" Her uncle exclaimed. "Did you meet your brother yet?"
"Huh? Wait….Frost is here, too!?" Weiss gasped shockingly.
-Team RWBYE's POV-
Ruby, Yang, Blake, and I continued to search for Rudy, but the time was running out. We only had 10 minutes of the lunch break, and yet we still couldn't find him.
"Man, I know Beacon is bigger with new buildings and all, but come on! Where the heck is that kid!?" Yang complained, getting a little bit impatient.
"It's OK, Yang. Maybe he is out of the school, who know. Besides, we don't have to ask him and you, Ellix, Neptune, and Weiss can go on the date instead. Double date is at least not as bad as triple date, right?" Ruby said.
"I guess, but I think you two are still perfect for each other." Yang said, receiving a pouted face from her young sister.
I looked around until I noticed two familiar people; one I dearly know from last year by surprise. "Well, well. Looks who is back." I said.
The girls turned their attention to the direction where I was looking at. The young boy noticed us as he ran toward us with a joyful look.
"Ruby! Blake! Yang! Ellix!" Frost called to us.
"Frost!?" The girls gasped.
He joined with us with Martha following after him. "Ruby, Blake, Yang, Ellix, I am so happy to see you all again!" He said cheerfully.
"So happy to see you, too, Frost!" Ruby said she gave the little Schnee a hug, which he liked very much.
"What's up, little man! How have you been?" Yang said as she was about to give him a hug, but hide behind Martha. "Hey, what's wrong?"
"I don't want to get squeeze by you." Frost said, glaring at her.
"Oh, come on! Don't leave me hanging here." Yang said.
"No." He simply replied, causing her to droop in sadness and disappointment. I just sweat dropped.
"It's OK, Yang. Maybe next time." I encouraged her.
"How are you, Frost? You've grown little bit taller the last time we met you." Blake informed.
"Eeyup! I am now five years old!" Frost said as he showed his hand with five fingers out.
"So, what are you and Martha here for? Visiting Weiss again?" I asked.
"Well, you see Mr. Knight, Young Master Frost is here because…"
"Frost!" Weiss yelled. Frost turned to see her older sister. He smiled widely as he ran up to her.
"Big Sis Weiss!" He exclaimed as he ran and jumped into her arm, and hugging her as strong as possible.
"Frost." Weiss said warmly as she hugged her young brother. "You gave me such a surprise. I heard all about it from our uncle."
"Big Sis Weiss, I miss you sooooo much." He said happily.
I smiled warmly to see a sibling reunited. Then, I noticed a man who looks very familiar.
"Well, well, it looks like the family reunion has assembled. So, these young ladies and one gentleman are your friends and teammates, Weiss?" The man asked.
"Oh right." Weiss said. "Ruby, Blake, Yang, Ellix, please meet my uncle, Blizzard Schnee. He is the vice president of the Schnee Company."
"It is very nice to meet you." Ruby smiled.
"Hiya!" Yang waved.
"It is honor to meet you, sir." Blake said, although little bit timidly.
"Hello, nice to meet you, sir." I greeted.
"It is with pleasure." He nodded. "As much as I want to stay and get along with you all, I am a busy man. I have some other business to wrap up while I am here at Vale besides here at Beacon."
He padded on his niece's shoulder. "Weiss, I believe you can take care of your brother here for now. I will be going back to my job."
"Yes, Uncle Blizzard." She said, nodding in agreement.
"Be good gentleman while I am away, Frost." He said.
"Yes, Uncle Blizzard!" Frost exclaimed with a smile.
Their uncle gave a warm smile at them before he left the scene.
Weiss put up with a smile until he was gone and just groaned.
"What is wrong, Big Sis Weiss?" Frost asked worryingly.
"Oh, it is nothing, Frost. It is just that…"
"Hey, Snow Angel!" A male voice called her. It was reveal to be Neptune as he approached us.
"Oh, Neptune!" Weiss noticed.
"YOU!" Frost yelled as he got off Weiss and looked intimidated at him.
"Oh! Hey, little dude! What's up? Long time no see!" Neptune smiled at the young Schnee.
"You!" He pointed his finger at him. "You are the one who is the cause of the disturbance!"
"The what?" He asked. The girls and I looked confuse, too.
"Now, now, Young Master Frost, calm down…" Martha reasoned with him.
"No! What have you done with my big sis, you dirty man! I may not watch you like 24 hours, but I know for fact that you did something to my sister!" Frost exclaimed before he charged in and began punching at his left, although to Neptune, it didn't felt that hurt.
"Take this! Take that! Take this! Take that!" He roared.
"Frost!" Weiss yelled.
Ruby and Yang giggled. "Here we go, again." The two sisters said in unison, giggling to the situation.
Weiss pulled Frost away from Neptune and turned him around to face him. "Frost, please! There is nothing strange happened between him and me. I am just fine."
"Hmmmm, if you say so…" Frost said, although looking little bit unsure and suspicious.
"So, what's going on? Why is Frost doing here?" Ruby asked. Before they got the answer, the school bell rang, indicating that the time for class is about to begin.
"Uh oh. It looks like we got to go to classes. Lunch break is over." I informed.
"Well, Master Young Frost, it means that we need to leave your sister and her friends to their classes. We should get going." Martha said.
"But, I want to be with my big sister." He moaned.
"Don't worry, Frost. We will see each other very soon. I promise." Weiss said kindly.
"Really? OK!" Frost accepted very fast as he walked up to with Martha and holds her hand. "See you later, Big Sis Weiss."
Martha and Frost went off to somewhere else.
"Let's get going to class. I will explain on the way." Weiss said as she looked little bit serious.
After the classes finished, we went back to the dorm room to discuss about the event and the reason for why her young brother was here. We learned that Frost is now under the caretaker of her uncle, Mr. Blizzard Schnee, the vice president of her family company, accompanying with Martha, ordered by her father. He is their father's older brother by only 3 years apart, and second in head running the company. He, along with Frost and Martha, are on a business trip for two weeks until after Halloween is over.
"So Frost is going to stay here at the City of Vale for two weeks while your uncle is doing his job here and all over Vale? That sounds cool." Yang said, although I thought I sense a pun there, but I guess she hadn't notice.
"That sounds great for you, Weiss. We can hang with him for two weeks!" Ruby exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes, but now he is here, he...may get in my way in my relationship, and my uncle said to take care of him while he is away for his job. I think I have to reschedule my date with Neptune, or try to not see him while my brother is here." Weiss said as she looked little bit sad and worry.
"Oh, right. The jealousy and over-protectiveness." Ruby nodded.
Then, there was a knock at the door. I went up to the door and opened it, revealing to him. "Speaking of the devil…" I thought aloud.
"Hey guys! Hey Big Sis Weiss!" Frost said with his backpack and Martha carrying rest of his luggage. She had a suitcase and one big bag on the other hand. I helped her with that. She gladly accepted my help as I put the bag to the side with the suitcase.
"Oh, thank you so much, Mr. Knight." She said.
"Your welcome, Miss Martha." I replied with a grin.
She grinned at me and turned to Frost. "Alright, Young Master Frost, remember, if you need any help, contact me through your Scroll. I will come at a sonic speed to aide in your dilemma!"
"Don't worry, Martha. I will be a good boy!" He said with an innocent grin. I had a feeling something might happen after this.
"As you wish, young master. Young Master Weiss, Miss Rose, Miss Long, Miss Belladonna, and Mr. Knight, please watch over Young Master Frost. See you all later and goodnight." Martha said as she bowed and then left our dorm room.
"Bye!" Ruby waved. "So Frost, what do you want to do now?"
"Many things!" He replied as he goes to his blue bag, and took out some stuff. "I brought some stuff from my home and Uncle Blizzard's house. I have some board games, my laptop, toys, toothbrush, toothpaste, and….and…."
He just blabbed on as he took out all the stuffs out of his bag as the floor began to be cover by his stuff from toys to other stuff.
"Frost, you are making a mess!" Weiss scolded.
"Oops! So, I did. Eh-he!" He did that signature laugh of his, which Ruby and Yang awed at him when he did.
"Oh, you are still so cute when you laugh like that!" Yang said. "That's it! I am gonna give you a nice big hug!"
"Oh no!" Frost shouted as he ran away from the clutch of the blond titan to his eyes. "Get away from me!"
"Come here, Frost! I just want to give you a big, nice hug!" Yang baby-talked to him as she chased him around in a circle.
Blake just face-palmed, hiding her giggling as Ruby giggled and amused by this. I was kind of chuckling, too, but Weiss looked a slight annoyed.
"Enough!" She yelled.
They stopped and froze for a second until Yang snatched the boy, and gave him what she desired.
"Mmmmff, help! Let me go!" Frost screamed as his face stuffed into her chest, which I found to be embarrassing and somehow…sort of jealous.
"But, I want to give you as much as love as possible!" Yang exclaimed in baby talking voice as she resisted in not stopping the hug.
"On the important matter…" Blake spoke. "So, I guess it means that you or we have to baby-sit Frost for a while, which is what you wants to say."
"Precisely." Weiss stated. "But, all though, any other day is fine, but tomorrow's night is what I worry the most."
Ruby saw this as an opportunity. "Don't worry, Weiss. Blake and I will…"
"Oh no, sis! I know what you are up to!" Yang interrupted. "You are going to that date, and I will make you even by force!"
"But, but!" She argued. Then, we got interrupted by another knocks on the door. I went up the door and opened it, revealing to be the person we've been looking for.
"Hey, what's up, guys." Rudy waved. "Woah! What happen to the room? Did you guy what; had a party here or something? And why are you hugging that kid so tightly, Yang?"
"Mmmmmfff." Frost mumbled underneath Yang's chest as he pulled his head out, finally catch some air. "Bleh! I got my face out! I thought I was going to die!"
"Ooh, this kid is Weiss' young brother. And I am just giving him as much as love as possible." Yang said. "In fact, I think I am going to give him a kiss now!"
"What!?" Frost and I gasped.
Yang made a duck lip as she approached his face, but Frost pushed her face with his hand.
"No! Get away from me!" He retaliated.
"Come on, Frost! I know you will love it." She said seductively.
"No! This face is limited for my big sisters only!" He argued, pushing her face harder.
Rudy just looked at the situation with confused expression. "Um, Okay then."
"Rudy, what are you doing here?" Ruby asked little bit timidly.
"Well, I was thinking that if you don't have anything interesting to do tomorrow, I was thinking that you and I can go on a date or something."
Ruby gasped at the idea. Yang gasped, but in a good way as she just dropped the boy.
"Well, I…" "Oh she will love to go with you, Rudy!" Yang butted in.
"Yang!" Ruby yelled.
"Really? Sweet! What time?" Rudy asked happily.
"Well, actually, we were discussing that you two should go with me, Ellix, and Weiss and her boyfriend, Neptune on a triple date! To a nightclub!" Yang explained.
"A nightclub, eh?" He pondered. "Sure! I dig the idea! I will see you tomorrow's night, Ruby."
He winked and gestured at Ruby before he left. She slowly waved at him. Yang looked cheekily at her sister, feeling very accomplished on her "mission", even though the objective of her mission came to her instead.
"Well, that was…pretty lucky." Blake spoke.
"Either that was a coincidence or Ruby's Semblance, his ability to manipulate other people's luck or his own luck. Either way, at least that is resolved." I said.
"Wait a second." Frost said. "Big Sis Weiss, you have a date?"
"Um, yes, Frost. I will have it tomorrow's night." Weiss admitted. "I am sorry, but I won't watch you tomorrow, but my friend Blake here will do it for me. Would that be OK?"
"Hmmmmmmm." Frost looked unsure, but then put up a smile. "OK. Sure."
Weiss looked surprise. "Frost…are you sure? I am going on a date with Neptune, him. Are you sure about this?"
Frost just nodded. "Yeah. It's OK. You will be with Ellix, Ruby, and Yang. You can go on the…date."
"Oh Frost!" Weiss hugged him deeply. "Thank you for accepting this. I am so happy that you did. I think you truly are growing up to be a fine man."
Frost smiled warmly as a tint of pinkness appeared on her cheeks. Ruby, Yang, and Blake felt this to be heartwarming. I felt it, too, but I have this strange feeling something amiss here. I am not sure what it is, but I will find out soon enough.
