Yo Peeps, GMG back with chapter 31 of PR. It's been almost a month now, but, as always, much has been happening. Pokemon Moon version had me wasting days away with shiny hunting and completing the pokedex (which I did, so huzzah!). The last week and a half has been visiting family and setting up part of what I wish to do with my life. READ THE END AN PLEASE. It will explain something that you might be interested in, but for now, story time.

Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY...

Morning arrived and Ruby was first to wake. Blinking the sleep from her eyes, she let her gaze take in the room again, the bleariness fading as she got more focus. Rolling over, she planted an arm underneath her to try and push herself up, only to flop back down. Face pressed against the sheets, she groaned. Stupid tired arms, refusing to let her up. She rolled again, this time, her back resting on the barrier for the bed. A yawn pulled from her throat and she felt a familiar sensation. "Oh no..."

A quick sense of weightlessness came and went, then a loud thud as her body contacted the floor. Another groan escaped her lips; this one from pain. Blake jolted awake at the sudden noise, amber eyes searching for the source, soon catching sight of a pouting Ruby. "Happened again?"

Now fully awake, Ruby sat up, tenderly holding her side. "Yep. Stupid semblance always causing trouble." Standing up, she stretched with a grimace. "First time in a while that I've been ejected from bed."

Blake hummed in agreement. "It has been a few months." Sitting up, her hands found the release for the barrier and it swung down with a clack. Helping Ruby, she smiled. "We should probably get something to eat before heading back to Beacon."

Taking a glance at herself, Ruby realized she was still wearing one of Blake's kimonos. "I think I need to borrow another outfit, Blake."

A few minutes later and a slightly too big outfit was handed to her. A pair of black slacks that were just a tad too long, and a purple tank top that didn't fit too horribly. Of course, Blake had looked her over, once her white cloak was added to the mix and nodded appreciatively. It made her happy to see Ruby wearing something of hers. It made their relationship all the more real to the Faunus.

Searching through her things, she finally found an old bag she had used for toting books from any of the places she managed to procure them. Grabbing Ruby's discarded clothing from the night before, she took them and stowed them in the bag, hooking it over a shoulder. Leaning down, she grabbed her own outfit and folded it, placing it away. She had others of the monochrome outfit at Beacon, so leaving one behind wasn't a major deal. She could always come back for it, anyways.

Clothing all settled, the two made their way to the kitchen from the night before. Ruby was sat again at the table, while Blake bustled about the small kitchenette. Pans were set out onto the stove top, bowls and ingredients laid out on the counters. A coffee pot was set under the familiar device for the brewing of any non-morning person's salvation.

A pleasant storm of smells began churning in the air, eliciting a growl of hunger from Ruby's stomach. When the coffee filled the pot at last, Blake set it on the table, placing the cream next to it and a small plate of sugars next to the cream. Turning back to the cooking surface, she heard the expected sound of five sugars being dropped into the coffee, before the cream was poured heavily. Trust Ruby to ingest enough sugar to give anyone else a cavity.

Blake pushed around the eggs in the pan she held, before setting the turner aside and opening a cupboard. She set the pan on a free burner that wasn't in use, before reaching up and grabbing two plates. Setting them on the counter, she returned her attention to the eggs and split them amongst the two plates.

Not a minute later, the couple were sat at the table, eating. Scrambled eggs, toast, the whole stereotypical breakfast. Blake didn't really mind it, given it was about all she knew how to make when it came to breakfast. Her mom had taught her some traditional Menagerie dishes, given how much fish was involved, given how close her home had been to the ocean.

Ruby noticed the reminiscent look on her girlfriends face. Prodding Blake's shoulder, she flashed a smile at the faunus. "Lien for your thoughts?"

"Just thinking of home." Blake prodded her eggs idly. "It's been awhile since I've been back and it'd be nice to see it again."

Nodding, Ruby spoke. "I miss Patch sometimes, so I can understand that." Her expression brightened. "Where in Menagerie did you live?"

A small, cramped marketplace popped up in Blake's mind. "Kuo Kuana. It's not a big town and it's mostly a port, really. It's not as nice as Vale, but it's beautiful. The houses are all so warm and friendly, as opposed to the soaring structures of other places."

"Maybe we can visit someday?" Ruby prompted.

Blake smiled. "That would be lovely. Maybe all of us can go."

Ruby placed her hand on Blake's. "After the tournament, we can do it. I mean, we could find some way to do it."

"I think we could help with that," came a new voice. Both turned to see Kali standing in the doorway. The woman gestured vaguely around her. "We do have a boat."

Shaking her head, Blake frowned. "But what about work? Surely you guys don't have enough business here to justify waiting."

Kali laughed. "We're quite alright Blake. We had planned to stay anyways. Your father and I didn't wish to miss seeing you in this tournament. While I'm not the biggest fan of fighting, I know it's something integral to who you are. My little Belladonna flower has her thorns."

Ruby snickered. "I've heard that same thing a lot." Yang came to mind, as well as her father. Both took every opportunity to poke fun at the Rose part of her name.

The fact must've registered with Blake, as she laughed too. "I can only imagine how often Yang has made jokes about that."

Skirting around the table, Kali picked up a few of the pans and discarded them into the sink. Turning the tap on, she located the soap and sponge. She heard a chair behind her start scooting and shook her head in bemusement. "Sit back down, Blake."

"I can handle the dishes, Mom," Blake argued. "I made the mess."

Kali hummed lightly. "Yes, but you have a guest. I can handle the dishes. I don't want to take you away from your girlfriend."

"Mom..."

"Shush, dear." Practiced hands set to work on the dishes. "Why don't you two go get Ghira. He's taking care of a few things on the deck, but he hasn't eaten yet. Send him down here, okay?"

Ruby grabbed Blake's hand and smiled. "Yes Ma'am!"

XXXGMGXXX

The two found Blake's father unloading various barrels and crates. Each bore a brand on the wooden shells, denoting what was what among the sea of containers. He looked up from his work, when he heard footsteps. "Ah, Blake, Ruby, what can I do for you two?" He set down the barrel that rested over his shoulder and ruffled both girls' hair playfully.

"Mom sent us up to get you," Blake explained.

Ghira nodded. "Probably for breakfast, I imagine." He noted the bag over Blake's shoulder. "Heading back to the school?"

"Yeah, but I'll be sure to visit in the next few days." Blake smiled. "It's nice to see you again." Stepping forward, she wrapped her arms around the bear of a man that was her father. His own grin dwarfed her own as he returned the embrace.

He laughed jovially. "Yes, dear, it truly is a gift to see you." Letting her go, he ruffled her hair again. "Come back soon." His gaze drifted over to Ruby. "And you, Miss Rose. I hope to see more of you here. I haven't seen my daughter smile in the last few years as much as she did in the last twenty-four hours. Now, I'll go see what Kali has made." He turned to leave, but stopped. "Before you leave, I need to go grab that tuna for you."

Needless to say, Beacon had two students returned to it later that day, along with a large amount of tuna being added to Team RWBY's personal store of food.

End...

So it's been awhile. I hope you enjoyed this filler chapter. I'll work on thinking up some more ideas and then get started on the tournament and assimilating May into this madness.

As for the important part. Please Read.

I have recently purchased an Xbox One and a headset with which to stream. I wanted to let you all know about this, seeing as I thought that some number of you might be interested. Currently, I only really have Overwatch to stream and, thankfully, I'm able to stream rather consistently at the current moment. After this chapter is posted I'll be putting a rough schedule of stream times.

For more accurate information, I'll be tweeting out when I start streaming. My twitter is GateMasterGreen, so it's not that difficult to locate. I'll be posting the Twitch link there as I stream and try to put it up on my profile page along with the schedule.

Also, the Discord chat is still active. While writing the chapter was being written, a few of us were spitballing ideas of Ladybug AUs and some other funny things. Namely, Pirate Blake- Queen of Booty.

Also, I'll be trying to stream about half an hour after this chapter goes out.

Blaine and Vanta's names will be replaced in the previous chapters tomorrow (January 7, 2017) for those who are confused about Ghira and Kali being used.

Adieu for now!
