A/N: Sorry for the lack of updates! I'v been busy, and it's been tough trying to come up with some good ideas. Anyway, here is chapter 3! As you can tell, this chapter will focus on Weiss and Eis. I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 3: White Ice

Weiss and Eis were walking through the streets on their way to the music store to pick up Eis's violin, so that the others and themselves could enjoy having something to listen to. It was quite a good distance away, so it would be a little while before they reached it. They walked and talked, still catching up with each other on what they did throughout their lives before meeting each other.

"I was heading towards the main building, followed by my servant who was carrying my dust vials. Just as we pass by, Ruby knocks over some of it, and I get mad, of course. However, without thinking, I was shaking a bottle of dust, which was loose, while scolding her, causing that dolt to sneeze…" Weiss was saying, talking about her first time meeting Ruby.

Eis chuckled, "Reminds me of the first time I met Garnet. It was a dust shop, and I was carrying some vials of dust for Myrtenaster. I round the corner and I happen to walk right into him, stumbling back and dropping some of the vials, a couple breaking. Poor guy, he was apologizing so much, but I told him it was alright since it was an accident. Also, he may not look like it, but Garnet's actually shy. It isn't too bad, but he's shy."

Weiss raised an eyebrow, "Is he, now? He sure didn't seem like it. But then again, I suppose it was because my friends and I looked like you guys that he didn't seem all that shy. In fact, I think he's a bit cute."

"Oh my, does my sister have a crush? Because that is what it sounds like to me!" Eis jokingly said. This made Weiss blush a little, but she quickly denied it, "N-no! I do not. W-why would I have a c-crush on Ruby's brother? I can't believe you would think that, Eis. What is wrong with you? Besides, what would Father think?"

Eis just chuckled, "It was a joke, my dear sister. Besides, he's only 14. I don't think the boy would quite understand anything about having a crush or dating or any of that. He's quite the innocent one."

"He's a year younger than Ruby..." Weiss said, a bit surprised. Eis nodded his head, "Yep. Noire, Yin, and I are sixteen. It's funny how we look like twins, despite the difference in age by a year."

"I see…" Weiss replied, even more surprised. She was expecting them all to be the same age as them because of how similar they looked, but the fact that they were a year younger surprised her a bit. Overall, she really didn't mind that she had a younger brother. She continued walking, but was looking a bit unusual, and Eis noticed.

"Weiss? Are you alright? You don't look so good." He asked, concerned.

"I'm just fine… Nothing's wrong with…. Me…." She replied, but then felt shaky a bit, and could barely stand. She collapsed onto her knees and coughed a lot, in which Eis immediately got worried.

"Weiss!" He exclaimed as he bent down and caught her just as she started to fall back. He noticed her face was really red, and felt her forehead. "You're burning up… Come on, let's head to the apartment for now, it's not too far." He said, then picked her up and began walking to the apartment.

"I… I don't feel so good..." Weiss said, and Eis quickened his pace. Soon enough, they arrived at the apartment. Eis opened the door and gently put Weiss on the couch. He then went to the kitchen to make an ice-pack for her, which didn't take too long, and he returned and put it on her head. He then pulled out a blanket and covered his sister with it. He pulled out his scroll and called Noire, "Noire, Weiss and I won't be back at the park anytime soon…. She's got a fever, so we're at the apartment so she can rest…. I can take care of her, so don't worry about coming by to help…. Alright, see you later." He then hung up and put his scroll on the counter.

"Thanks, Eis…" Weiss weakly said, and Eis quickly hushed her. "Don't speak, Weiss, except when you need something. Just get some rest, okay?" He said as he smiled and sat down on the chair next to her.

"It's okay… I can talk… Can't really move, though." She replied with a small laugh as she rested on the couch. She then continued, "Eis… Why do you think Father did not want us to find out about each other…?"

Eis sighed and shrugged, "I'm not really sure…. I ask myself the same question everyday…. My guess is that we would grow too attached to each other, and when it came to the point of either of us having to leave, we would greatly protest against the idea. Maybe it was his way of protecting us from having to deal with the pain of watching one of us leave... Maybe it was a way of helping himself from having to deal with the stress of trying to comfort us afterwards… There are so many possibilities at hand that it's almost impossible to go to a single conclusion…"

Weiss listened as he spoke, and she began to think about it. She still couldn't believe that her father separated the two of them as kids, but as she thought about it, Eis was making some sense. It would be definitely hard for him or her to watch as one of them is sent off on their own, and the fact that they would both greatly protest against it was also present. The possibility of their Father not wanting to have to deal with the stress of comforting one of them was also a good one. Or, maybe he just wanted to have to handle the stress of saying 'good bye' to one of them on his own. So many possibilities, and an unreachable conclusion.

"However…." Eis spoke again, and Weiss once again listened, "Whatever the reason, all that matters now is the fact that I can see my sister whenever I want to, and not have any intervening from Father."

She smiled as he finished, and replied, "Yes, that is true… I can see my brother whenever I want to…" As soon as she finished speaking, she yawned, and her eyes started to feel heavy. Within seconds, Weiss was sound asleep on the couch, and Eis watched over her, smiling.

End Note: Well, that's chapter 3! Again, sorry for the lack of updates. I'll try to update more frequently from now on, as long as I'm not too busy. Also, I was actually going to go in order of the team members, but I already had this one planned out in my mind. Next sibling pairing I'll focus on might be Ruby and Garnet. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed reading this!
