A/N: New chapter! Thanks to a certain someone for making me want to type. Jerk. Lol j/k. This was a pretty fun chapter to write because I got to explain some little things about what's going on in other places in the story. Also there will be another ship announced in this story that I may give a bit of screen time too [Hint: I've done a one-shot on them before].

Anyways I hope you'll enjoy! I'll have the name descriptions and meanings at the end of the chapter!

Also last minute change to who the teacher is. I'm sure you'll like it. :)

"I'll see you tonight, baby. Remember that Neo is going to be picking you up after school, okay Hun?"

Snowflake nodded her head happily as she jumped up with excitement trying to plant a kiss on her mommy's cheek. She could barely contain her joy from attending her first day of pre-school after all. Ever since this morning she'd been begging her mommy to hurry up so she could get there faster!

"I know mommy, I know!" Snowflake giggled out just as she watched her mother shake her head lightly and stoop down to her level.

"I'll see you tonight, Snowy." Weiss whispered into her daughter's ear before placing a kiss on the girl's forehead and receiving a wet one on her cheek, causing her to smile. "Be a good girl and make lots of friends okay?" Weiss said as she stood up.

"Uh huh!" The small girl exclaimed as she gave her mom a toothy grin and a thumbs up, reminding Weiss of Yang in more ways than one.

With that she watched as her daughter ran off towards the rest of the kids who were already gathered inside the large brightly colored room. Although Snowflake had been more than excited for this day to come, for Weiss she was anything but. She actually felt sadness grip her mind as she watched her daughter's long white hair sway side to side as she ran away.

Almost feeling the urge to cry, Weiss turned around to head out the door before literally bumping right into someone.

"Oh, I'm sorry." She mumbled before glancing up and spotting a familiar looking girl.

"Blake?"

"Weiss?"

Both girls looked at each other for a moment before Weiss' eyes trailed downwards towards a girl who looked almost identical to Blake, holding onto the girl's hand. If the Heiress didn't know any better, she'd think that the girl was Blake's…

"Y- You have a daught-?!" Weiss asked a little too loudly suddenly before Blake slapped her hand over Weiss' mouth, shushing the girl.

Blake blushed slightly before responding to her old teammate's outburst. "I see you've gained Yang's subtle nature, Weiss. But no, this is my little cousin Kateia…" Blake introduced as the smaller girl now known as Kateia glanced up at Weiss with the same golden eyes as Blake's own.

Weiss nodded her head slowly before coughing to herself and regaining her earlier composure. Maybe she really was adopting a lot of Yang's tendencies now.

But glancing down at Kateia now, Weiss smiled and knelt down to the girl's height. Seeing her up close now, the girl looked like a carbon copy of Blake. She had the same colored eyes, the same black hair that reached to her shoulders, and the same Faunus ears albeit smaller which sat on the top of her head. One thing Weiss did realize though was that Kateia didn't seem to wear a bow to hide her Faunus heritage.

"Hello Kateia, I'm Weiss! I was your cousin's old teammate. Nice to meet you!" Weiss introduced as she held out her hand for a handshake.

Kateia on the other hand narrowed her golden eyes before turning her head away from the Heiress with a huff.

"Kateia, don't be rude! Say hello." Blake ushered the girl before flashing an apologetic smile to Weiss. "Sorry, she's just really anti-social."

Weiss only chuckled. "Reminds me of someone I knew back in the day actually."

Blake blushed and prepared to retort towards the girl before Kateia spoke up.

"Why were you friends with a human, Blake? And isn't she the Schnee girl that my mom and dad told me about?"

The three descended into a silence for a moment as Weiss shuffled on her feet awkwardly. Although she had attempted to better her family name and its laws towards the Faunus it seemed that the past was hardwired into a few.

Keeping her smile on though, Weiss didn't let Kateia's comment faze her. "Well not all humans are bad, Kateia!" Weiss explained before turning and pointing towards her daughter who was already talking to a few other kids. "See that girl with the white hair like mine? She loves meeting new people, why don't you go and talk to her?"

She watched as the small Faunus girl gave her a doubtful look before looking over towards the other kids. A flash of apprehension was seen on the girl's face before she looked up towards Blake.

"It'll be okay, Kat. Everyone here is nice, I promise." Blake reassured her cousin before letting go of her hand.

"But… W- What if they don't li-" Kateia started before a flash of white bounded into view!

"Auntie Kitty!" A bright and cheery voice cried out as Weiss, Blake, and Kateia all looked towards the source of the shout.

Snowflake sprinted straight into Blake's legs hugging them tightly as she giggled uncontrollably. "Auntie Kitty, Auntie Kitty!"

Blake smirked towards the little girl as she patted her head. "Hello to you too, Snow." Blake uttered before she nudged her cousin towards the other girl. "There's someone I want you to meet, Snowflake! This is Kateia, my little cousin."

Snowflake quickly let go of Blake's legs and turned to face the new girl in question. Her bright lilac eyes only widened as she stared into Kateia's nervous face before smiling.

"She looks just like Auntie Kitty!" Snowflake announced loudly, bouncing up and down happily.

Both Blake and Weiss laughed before Snowflake jumped towards the now timid Faunus child, startling her a bit.

"I'm Snowflake! What's your name?"

All eyes turned towards Kateia as the girl tried to hide behind her hands and said nothing.

"Her name's Kateia, Snowflake." Weiss answered politely. "Do you think you can be friends with her?" She then asked towards her hyperactive daughter.

Snowflake nodded her head towards her mother before tilting her head at Kateia for a moment as if thinking. The sudden quietness from Snowflake even caused the other girl to peek between her fingers at the white haired girl before suddenly Snowflake smirked.

"Cousin Kat!" Snow uttered loudly which caused both Blake and Weiss to laugh out.

Kateia on the other hand only gave the girl a confused look. "Only Blake can call me th- Hey! What are you doing?!"

Without warning, Snowflake reached for Kat's hand and pulled the girl along with her while still keeping her giant smile. "Come on, Kat! Let's go play with everyone else!"

Weiss continued to watch as her daughter pulled a slightly resistant Kat along towards the other kids; some of whom she recognized as well. Just for a moment though she saw an image of herself and the rest of Team RWBY when they had first met. It was then that she knew that her daughter and Kateia were going to be great friends… Over time of course.

"They'll get along I hope." Blake mumbled towards Weiss as she too watched the kids run off together.

Weiss nodded before smiling. "Snowflake leaves no person unfriended, plus I think she's taken quite the liking towards Kat."

The two women continued their small talk until the assigned kindergarten teacher finally spoke up, earning the attention of all the kids in the classroom.

"Okay everyone, class is starting!" A man with bright orange hair who was dressed far too formally in what appeared to be a white suit announced while standing at the front of the room.

"Starting today I will be your teacher, Mr. Torchwick!"

Both Weiss and Blake giggled to themselves as they watched their old enemy turned teacher try to gain the attention of the classroom and failing as the kids all continued playing and horsing around.

"I can't believe he's a teacher now." Weiss mused out loud as she made her way towards the door to leave with Blake.

"Yeah, who knew some time in jail would cause him to reform into such a contributing member of society." The ebon haired Faunus replied with a chuckle.

Both women left the building as they waved their goodbyes before heading off in opposite directions. But back inside the classroom however, things were just starting for the class of Roman's Little Torches Kindergarten School!

After finally getting everyone to listen to him and sit down in a circle on the carpet, Roman cleared his throat as he glanced towards all the little kids around him. Contrary to popular belief about him, when he was still a career criminal, he actually didn't mind children. Becoming a teacher was something he did want to do. He just needed a push in the right direction.

"Alright everyone, since it's the first day of school how about we all introduce ourselves?" He asked with a smile. "Anyone want to go first?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, a single hand shot up.

"Me! Me!" A girl with familiar looking white hair yelled happily as she stood up.

"Hi everyone! I'm Snowflake Summer Xiao-Long – Schnee! I love having fun, playing with my mama and mommy, and making friends!" She declared cheerfully before preforming a polite bow and dropping back on the ground.

Mr. Torchwick raised an eyebrow at the girl's name, instantly recognizing most of them before clapping his hands. "Very good, Snowflake. Who's next?" He asked.

"Oh, oh! Me next!"

All eyes turned towards a boy with bright orange hair almost like his own but there was a streak of black running through his bangs. He wore a small smirk with his turquoise eyes glistening with something akin to mischief as he stood up, pulling the girl who was sitting next to him up as well.

"My name's Cheng Ren! I like pancakes, explosions, and sleeping!" He introduced himself before he nudged the girl next to him. "And this is my sister, Hilja! Mom and dad say we're twins even though we don't look alike."

Looking at the other girl next to him, all eyes turned towards Hilja expectantly. The girl looked absolutely terrified by the attention before Cheng sighed and slapped her on the back for encouragement.

"Don't be shy, say hi to everyone! Remember, mom said that you can't be a sloth!"

Hilja pouted at her brother before she stepped forward and politely bowed to everyone while still looking extremely nervous. She had long black hair that seemed to reach down to her back with a streak of orange running through her bangs. Her pink eyes looked terrified of the crowd in front of her but she swallowed and started to speak…

"H- Hello… My name is H- Hilja Ren and I like to read, cook, and…-"

"And she helps my dad make awesome pancakes!" Cheng then burst out loudly, earning laughter from all the other kids.

"Can she make chocolate pancakes?! They're my favorite!" Snowflake boomed out.

"Chocola- How have I never heard of this?!" Cheng asked excitedly before rushing towards Snowflake as the two of them started to jump for joy.

"You mean there's chocolate inside the pancakes?"

"Yeah huh! And it's all melty and gooey! It's mm-mm good!"

"No way!"

"Yes way!"

Coughing to get the attention of the kids once again, Roman clapped his hands quickly to silence all the chatter.

"Okay okay, next up is…?" He asked before he saw Snowflake point towards the girl who was sitting next to her with black hair.

Shrugging his shoulders, Roman pointed towards said girl. "How about you?"

He watched as golden eyes darted around nervously before shaking her head no. Roman was about to pass the girl until Snowflake once again stood up, interrupting his plans.

"No, no! You can't skip! Come on, I'll do it with you, Kat!" She said as she pulled the girl to her feet much in the same fashion that Cheng did with his sister.

Now standing in front of the class, Kat seemed to shrink into herself as her eyes started to water. She had no idea what to tell these people. She didn't know anyone here and she just wanted to go home. She didn't want to move to Vale! She didn't want to be left alone! She just wanted to stay with Blake and-!

"Everyone this is Kateia but I call her Cousin Kat 'cause she looks like Auntie Kitty!" Snowflake's bright voice cheered out, cutting into Kat's thoughts.

"She has cute kitten ears and she's quiet, but she's gonna be my best friend! I can tell because my mama told me that Blake and her were partners and are best friends! So Kat and me are going to be best friends too!"

Snowflake flashed everyone a giant grin after her drawn-out explanation but just as Mr. Torchwick was about to tell the smaller girl not to decide things on her own, Kat suddenly spoke up…

"It's Kat and I…"

Snowflake turned towards the other girl before tilting her head.

"Huh?"

Kateia turned to face the white haired girl with a slight blush on her face.

"You said Kat and me. That's wrong, it's Kat and I." She repeated.

Snowflake looked thoughtful for a second before holding a thumbs up towards everyone and smiling.

"Kat and I are going to be best friends!"

Everyone started laughing at the girls before they both took their seats and the introductions continued. For Kateia however she couldn't help but glance over at Snowflake. The girl was still smiling and looking towards the next kid who was introducing themselves.

Looking past her white hair and into the bright lilac eyes that seemed to be filled with energy, Kat felt herself smile a bit before looking down at the space between them. Both she and Snowflake were still holding hands from when they had stood up together.

And Kateia didn't feel the urge to let go at all…

Kateia - Gloom in Greek.

Cheng - Orange in Chinese

Hilja (Hiljainen) - Quiet in Finnish
