Thanks for the likes & follows! Sorry this took me so long was catching up on some other ffs. I've also been having a little writers block, but that's because I got another story in mind. Let me know if you want me to write it! (Would be another Rwby ff though not a gamer one.)

Chapter 15:A Stars First Meeting

After a while of crying, and calming down Mum released me and got up. "I'll bring you something to eat give me a minute." Mum left, and then brought me some soup. "It's your favorite!"

Once I was finished. "If your feeling up to it that lady you saved wishes to meet you." she told me.

"Y-ya I'm calm now plus I wanted to talk to her too." I got dressed in comfortable clothes that weren't my pajamas before I went to meet her.

I walk up to the guest room door, and knock. "Come in." I hear from the other side. I open the door, and walk in I look over at her stopping. I don't think the show can even compare how pretty she is. It's honestly surprising.

I walk closer to her, and take a seat in the chair next to her bed. "Hello. I'm Iris it's nice to meet you. I'm glad to see your doing better." I can see her looking me over, and stopping at my ears a few times.

I twitch my ears, and I see her eyes sparkle a tiny bit. I start to giggle at her so she coughs into her hand, and straightens up with a bit of a flush to her face. "Apologies. I must thank you for saving me if not for you... I don't really want to think about what could of happened."

I give her a small smile. "Don't worry about it I'm just glad your ok." I look over at her weapon. "Though if you want to pay me back you could teach me how to use a saber better."

She looks at me thoughtfully before nodding. "I'll teach you what I can when I'm a bit better. For how ever long the blizzard will last." She looks out the window with a sad expression.

I can see the sadness in her eyes. "Are you ok?" I ask knowing she isn't. "If you want to talk about it I'll listen."

She looks at me, and thinks about it for a moment before shaking her head. "No I'll be fine this isn't the first time I've lost soldiers." She hangs her head seemingly lost in thought.

I sigh. "The offers there if you need it. Though you never told me your name." I smile as I see her startle a bit.

She coughs into her fist again. "My apologies. I'm Winter Schnee an ace operative of the Atlas military." I can see the slight apprehension when she says her last name.

I tap my chin acting like I'm thinking. "Schnee...Schnee where have I heard that..." I fey ignorance for a moment. "Ah! Your a member of the Schnee dust company family right?"

"Yes that is correct. I'm related to them, but I'm not a part of the family business." She looks slightly uncomfortable talking about her family.

Noticing how uncomfortable she was I dropped it. "So what do you do in the military? Do you like it?" I can see the surprise in her eyes at the change in topic.

Then she smiles a bit. "Yes I suppose I like it. I do lots of things in the military. Though I have to ask do you plan of going to Atlas academy, or join the military?"

I shake my head. "No I'm going to go to beacon over in vale. Mostly because I don't want to join the military, but also because I want to see more of the world." I give a small chuckle at her when I say I don't want to be in the military.

After a while of small talk I decided to head to bed because today was beyond draining. We never talked about her family, but we have about two weeks to get to know each other. Although I gotta say I'm screwed when I go to beacon if all of the main cast is a pretty as her.

Three days later...

Winter was getting better, and started helping me with saber practice. We used the basement for the spares. We used nothing but our sabers, and agility.

Needless to say she kicked my butt bad. I was no where near fast enough. I'm one hundred percent sure if she wasn't hurt those bandits wouldn't had stood a chance.

Though over the past few days she's opened up slightly. Still nothing about her family, but she did talk to me about how she failed her soldiers. I did my best to help, but she was stubborn.

One week later...

The blizzard has started to calm down, but our scrolls still couldn't connect to the CCT yet.

I've still yet to get her to open up much, but she has taught me a great deal. I honestly hope I can get her to open up because I want her to have a better relationship with Weiss.

It might help with the attitude she had in the beginning of cannon. It might also help with her summoning as well. I might also have a tiny crush on Winter, but it's just a tiny one plus I want to find someone I can truly trust. Not that I don't trust her it's just she's still pretty much Ironwoods boot licker as of right now. I want someone who I can trust everything too, to love.

Two days later...

Tomorrow the storm will let up I know because we've been getting tiny blips of connection to the CCT. So I'll be doing my best to try, and get this cold hearted cutie to open up.

I've decided to just be blunt about it after our spar where I've still barely landed a hit. "You know you've told me a lot about the Atlas military, but you still haven't told me anything about your family. I imagine besides your father the rest are quite nice." I tell her with an innocent smile.

She looks like a deer in the headlights when I suddenly bring this up. "Ah uh well... yes I'd say your not wrong." She looks away seemingly embarrassed.

"What's wrong? I'll drop it if you don't want to talk about it." I give her my best pleading eyes.

She seams to think about it for a minute then sighs. "Nothings wrong it's just been a long time since I've spent time with them. I left home to join Atlas academy then I joined the military. I left on bad terms with both my mother, and father. I pretty much abandoned my little sister to become the company heiress, and left my youngest sibling to become a puppet of my father!" She looked very frustrated almost yelling, and upset surprising me.

I get up, and walk over to her to give her a hug. "It doesn't help I almost died on a mission. I almost never got to reconcile with them." She hugs me back she has an upset look on her face.

I'm completely out of my depth here. I'm very confused on how I got this reaction out of her. I honestly just wanted to see if she would talk to Weiss, or maybe spend a little time with her to help her out. Not this whole break down!

Honestly thinking about it this might mean the cannon characters aren't exactly like how the show well showed them. This is nice to know so I can't just expect everyone to be exactly the same.

I pull back from the hug. "Well your not dead so that's a start. How about when you get back you get into contact with your family. Well who ever in your family you want to talk to, and start mending your relationship. They're family so I'm sure they'd love to see you again." I give her a confident smile.

"But what if-" I hold up my hand to stop her. "They're family they'll want to know your ok. It might take time, but you can make amends if they are upset with you." I give her a pat on the shoulder.

"Now come on dinner will be ready soon, and tomorrow the storm should let up enough for you to call a ride back to Atlas. You can tell me more about your family later if you want." I began walking back upstairs. I hear her follow me after a few seconds.

Well I got two things from this Winter is adorable, and I can't expect cannon characters to be exactly like the show portrayed them.

The next day...

When I woke up today my expectations where that some form of Atlas transport would come get Winter and take her back. What i got instead was freaking General Ironwood himself showing up at our front door with three Military grade bullheads.

Winter had gathered up her belongings, and a dust woven scarf Mum and I made for her. It was white, grey with the dust weaving giving it a red lining. Even she was shocked Ironwood came personally.

She stood straight saluting. "General! Sir what are you doing here!" She stood stiff as a bored confusion in her eyes.

Her simply give a soft smile. "Why wouldn't I come to get one of my best operatives? I'm glad to see your alright." He looked over at my Pops, and Mum. "I must thank you for helping her. I'll see to it your rewarded properly."

My Pops shakes his head. "You shouldn't be thanking us we just provided a roof, and food it was my little girl who saved her after all." He ruffles my hair much to my annoyance.

He then looks at me, and was about to say something when he looked me in the eyes he stopped. It was brief, but he looked genuinely surprised. Before anyone could say something he collected himself.

"Is that so you must be quite the skilled huntress in training. What academy do you go to if I my ask?" He looked genuinely interested.

I just shake my head. "I'm too young to go to an academy yet. In about a year, and a few months I'll be eligible." I see him thinking for a few moments.

"Well how about you come to Atlas academy? I can get you enrolled early you'd do quite well." I see the gleam in his eye like he just found a prized gem.

I think about it for a minute. On one hand I could be stronger for when cannon starts. On the other I enroll into beacon, and be friends with Ruby and Co. it's honestly no contest.

I shake my head. "Sorry but no I'm planning on enrolling at beacon when I turn of age. Plus I want to explore the world a bit not be stuck in Atlas permanently."

He looks a bit sad about that, but shakes it off after a second. "I see that's a shame however how about this. When you put your application in for beacon I'll give you my recommendation how's that?" I looks a bit smug about that.

Though it'll be incredibly useful. "That's very generous of you thanks." I give him a big smile.

Though the way he looks at me, and acts shows his inexperience. It is two years before cannon, and from what I've gathered he's just been promoted a few months ago. We then wave to Winter as she boards a bullhead, and she gives a small wave back.

All in all for a gods meddling this wasn't that unwelcomed. It let me meet a canon character well two actually, and let me realize they maybe deferent than their show selfs. Also it helps prep me for how beautiful, and cute the cannon characters are gonna be.

Though I still wonder what team I'll be on? O well that's for future me to worry about.

Sorry this took so long. I had bad writing block for this part. Hope y'all enjoyed thx for the likes, and follows!
