I was going to wait a week to publish this, but I think you all deserve it.

Of course I'm not going to end like that, everyone deserves better.

It was dark as the shape pulled up next to the pier, and Pyrrha came to a stop. Her run could wait. Slowly, Pyrrha approached the yacht as a figure disembarked.

"I didn't expect to see you again, except in the news." the redhead remarked.

"You'll see plenty of that tomorrow." Weiss replied, holding out her hand. "An advance copy of tomorrows paper."

"You're stepping down?" Pyrrha looked up, surprised. "What about...?"

"Taken care of. How's Ruby?"

"She misses you. It's been over a year."

"Is she okay?"

"Blake's been keeping her up to date with you."

"That's not what I asked."

"She didn't get to say goodbye, and her last memory of you is her nearly drowning."

"I... Do you know if Ozpin is open?"

Pyrrha checked her watch. "For the next forty minutes."

"Thank you."

"Wait!"

Weiss turned back to Pyrrha. "Yes?"

"How are you?"

Weiss smiled tiredly. "I'll let you know tomorrow. But right now, I'm somewhere I never expected to be; in a fishing village, about to ask if a girl I haven't seen in over a year is willing to have me back."

"She will. She misses you."

"I wasn't sure you would return." Ozpin sat at his desk, sipping from his mug as Weiss did the same, sitting opposite.

"You knew what would happen when Blake saw me."

"I did."

"You knew what would happen. That's why you didn't warn either of us."

"I had guessed. I did not anticipate what happened to Ruby."

"You knew what I would do."

"I did not expect you to merge every mining company you could into your own."

"I took steps to fix my fathers messes. I didn't want anyone else making the same problems."

"And Winter?"

"Won't be a problem. Why didn't you tell me you knew my father?"

"I didn't want it to be a problem."

"You made sure Winter knew I was alive."

"I could hardly have you return to find yourself locked out."

"You meddled."

"It's what I do."

"And Ruby? How is she?"

"Medically, she's well."

"Personally?"

"Missing you."

And so Weiss approached the lit shopfront. Trembling, she rang the front bell, and closed her eyes when Blake opened the door.

"You're back."

"I'm not my father."

"You..." Blake sighed. "Are you staying?"

"If I'm welcomed."

Closing her eyes, Blake breathed deeply before appraising Weiss, looking up and down, before holding out her hand. "I'm Blake."

Then a girl in red pajamas was pushing past Blake, and a sobbing Ruby flung herself into Weiss's arms, burying her face in the pale girls shoulder. "I missed you I missed you I missed you..."

Weiss stared in shock, but only for a moment before she was kissing and stroking Ruby's rair, whispering softly. She looked up, back at Blake. "May I come home?"

Weiss woke up slowly. It was strange, not having an alarm blaring. She was warm. Slowly blinking open her eyes, Weiss gazed at the girl wrapped around her, head burrowed into Weiss's chest, snoring softly. Smiling softly, she stroked Ruby's hair as the younger girl began to stir.

"Mmmmmm…"

"Ruby?" Weiss paused, waiting for confirmation the girl was awake.

"Ugh…" Ruby groaned, screwing shut her eyes and burrowing her face deeper into Weiss. "Mornings…"

"Ruby," Weiss, pried the other girl off her chest, pulling her up and kissing her gently. "I missed you."

And so this is it.
The end.

(I updated it, so there's s little more Ruby.)

Again, please review, I love you all.
I think it's a nice way to end, and certainly happier that Shattered. I'm not that mean.

Thank you for sticking with me, and thank you for bearing with my horrible update schedule.

You guys are awesome.
