Pyrrha ran as fast as she could, and with her aura enhancing her body, she made it back home without much trouble. She could feel her heart beating as hard as the day she kissed Jaune, before she fought Cinder, before Pyrrha died. She wasn't alone anymore! Not that she was ever truly alone, she had Cathleen after all, but seeing an old friend from Remnant was an entirely different matter.

Throwing herself onto her bed, the former Invincible Girl pulled her phone out of her pocket, her green eyes staring at its screen intently. Her eyes and mind weren't playing tricks on her right? This wasn't just a dream like those she had every night when she first arrived in this world? All those nights when she dreamed with Jaune, and finding her way back home thanks to some oddly specific quirk

Pyrrha's fingers instantly typed Weiss Schnee into her search engine, just for the page to blow up with so many articles that there was no way she was going to be able to read them in one night.

Mysterious singer Weiss Schnee takes Japan by storm.

German-Japanese idol Weiss Schnee to release her first album.

First Japan and now the world, what's next for the Ice Queen?

Weiss Schnee announces that her 'White' album will debut with her upcoming concert.

Each word and picture lingered on Pyrrha's mind, her lips dry. There were plenty of photos that featured Weiss on the internet, from less than appropriate ones that looked photoshopped, to official photoshoots for some random magazines. There was only one single issue.

The girl in all the photos was younger than the Weiss that Pyrrha knew, she looked even younger than Ruby in some of them, but that must've been thanks to her height. Weiss had never been the tallest of people, even with the heels and boots that she liked to wear. Back at Beacon, Pyrrha had towered over the Heiress, with or without her own heels.

Back when Pyrrha was on the verge of truly finding happiness. There was little she could do to stop the smile that decided to etch itself onto her face. It felt nice, seeing a familiar face. Pyrrha kept scrolling, trying to find out as much as she could about her old friend, even if they hadn't been as close as the rest of team JNPR.

She clicked on a video, the thumbnail having a picture of Weiss against a black background with a large smile. Weiss looked weird without her usual scowl, or smug smirk.

"Hi everyone!" Weiss grinned as she spoke in English. She sounded as young as she looked. "Thank you all so much for all the support you have given to my Japanese songs, so as a gift, I'll be releasing my first song in English for free! It'll be available to download now."

Pyrrha's smile grew. It was weird seeing Weiss act all giddy, and not like an Ice Queen.

"Now without further ado, I hope you're ready to shine." Weiss winked and grabbed a microphone that was offscreen. It looked like Myrtenaster's hilt. Her scar was still as prominent as ever, but it did little to detract from her beauty.

"Baby! It's time to make up your mind." Weiss sang, standing up from her seat revealing the long blue skirt that matched her fluffy blouse. "I think that tonight is when our stars align."

Pyrrha's eyes widened ever so slowly. She knew this song! She had practiced this song with the rest of her team for the Beacon Dance. Jaune had worn a dress after losing his bet against her. She had asked Ruby to ask Weiss if she could borrow one of the Heiress' songs, since Jaune looked like such a fan.

The redhead's hands started to shake as she stared at her phone's screen.

"Honey, it's time we leave the doubt behind!"

It was hard to watch the video past the teardrops that blurred Pyrrha's vision. She missed Ren, she missed Nora, she missed Jaune. Pyrrha missed everyone.

"Take my hand cause you and I are gonna shine!"

Pyrrha cried for the first time in months.


Pyrrha was so entrapped in watching videos, that she didn't notice the slamming of the doors to the apartment she shared with Cathleen.

"Pieeeraaa? Are you home?" Cathleen's shout interrupted the former Invincible Girl's concentration. She tore her eyes away from her phone, which had long been connected to her charger. It would've died on her hours ago if she hadn't thought of that. "I brought pizza!"

"Hello Cathleen!" Pyrrha croaked loudly. She coughed into her fist, clearing her throat. "Hello Cathleen!!" That was much better.

The door to Pyrrha's room creaked just enough for Cathleen to stick her head through the opening. Pyrrha raised her head from her spot on her bed.

"There you are! You had me worried for a second, since you never go out late and all that." Cathleen grinned. "I know it's sacrilegious, but I brought Detroit pizza since I was in the area and-uh-why are you crying? Are you okay?" She opened the door all the way, using her quirk to squeeze her body through the much smaller door.

Pyrrha nodded slowly and rubbed her bloodshot eyes. They felt moist and crusty at the same time. She sat up, letting her overheated phone have a much needed break, for now. "I'm fine, just…surprised."

Cathleen took a seat next to her, and placed a large hand on Pyrrha's shoulder. "What's wrong?"

"I'm not the only one stuck here." Pyrrha's voice cracked near the end. It still felt like a dream at times.

Cathleen's face lit up. "You mean someone from your world found you?! That's amazing!" She shot up from the bed. "Forget the pizza, we'll have Chinese to celebrate!"

Pyrrha shook her head and stood up to catch Cathleen's attention. "I found her online."

"Really? Where?" Cathleen scratched the side of her head with a single finger.

Pyrrha took a deep breath and pulled Cathleen into a tight hug.

"Japan."
