"Oh my head." Jaune moaned as he rubbed his head with one of his hands while trying to use the other to sit up. "Guys I had the strangest dream-" Jaune said before stopping as became acutely of the soft couch cushions underneath him and the pairs of eyes staring back at him that were not his teammates.
"Aw shit." Jaune said as he took in his surroundings. "So it was real after all." Jaune said as he sat up before leaning back onto the couch in a sitting position.
"Indeed it was and it appears you're already trying to break your father's record and we're not even a few months into our marriage." Willow said with a laugh.
"Oh man, we'll need to tell my parents." Jaune said with a groan thinking of his parents would take the news. His mom would be ecstatic, his father? Well he'd probably just be ok with it and offer some congratulations but they'll still probably both be concerned still.
"Look at this way lad. At least ye ain't havin the baby out of wedlock. That's a surefire way to end up bad. Usually with money but I think ye and this missus will be fine." Skadi said as she looked between the two.
"She's right, Jaune, so don't you worry. We're going to get through this together." Willow said as she took one of Jaune's hands in her own and looked him in the eyes.
Jaune smiled at the reassuring look Willow was giving and gave a gentle squeeze of her hand.
"Yeah, yeah we will." Jaune replied before a thinking look crossed his face and he spoke again. "What are you wanting Willow? Want another boy to balance out the numbers or another little girl to dress up."
"I'm happy with whatever my knight, as long as it's with you." Willow said with a warm smile.
"Aw come on. I'm supposed to be the one with the cheesy lines." Jaune said with a warm smile of his own before leaning in to give a peck on the lips and letting his forehead rest against hers.
"Awe I hav'nt seen a sight this sweet since I saw me daughter and her hubby at their wedding." Skadi said as she looked on from the side causing the two in question to look over at her and the rest of the peanut gallery.
Jaune gave a small laugh at seeing Saphron holding her phone and the flash of her going off, before turning his attention back to Willow with a serious expression on his face. "Willow, I will cherish any child you give me and I will love them as much as I love you."
This time it was Willow's turn to smile as she looked Jaune right in the eyes as a smile spread across her own face and she leaned in to kiss him even as the flash from Saphron's camera went off several times while Terra spoke.
"When do you think they'll stop being so sickeningly sweet, Saph?"
"Probably after the first year if I had to guess." Saphron said with a laugh as she took one last picture.
"Are you done now dear?" Willow said as she looked towards Saphron after her and Jaune separated.
"Oh yeah, this is grade A stuff. Mom and dad will love these. Not to mention our sisters later on when they tell them, and speaking of telling them, how do you think you're gonna tell them about the new grandkid? Oh and when? I want to be around to watch the chaos unfold." Saphron said with a big smile on her face.
Jaune just groaned in response and dropped his head onto Willow's shoulder as she let out a laugh and patted his head.
"It'll be alright dear, we'll call them up later and tell them for now though maybe we should calm down and sign the paperwork for the house and do one step at a time." Willow said as she leaned back and grabbed Jaune's hands in her own.
"Indeed we should. Klein and myself just finished with the paperwork so all we need is signatures from all parties involved and then we can send the money and get some key copies made." Harl said as he walked into the main room with Klein besides him.
"Sounds good to me." Jaune said as the others nodded along.
"We also got a deal through for the Terra-Cotta household too. The paperwork just came through and it was as expected. You'll be getting the place for around 1.1 million lien or around 6,100 a month for a total. Closing costs, estimates, property taxes, etc are all included." Harl said as he gestured to the paperwork in his other hand.
"Well I guess we should get on that then." Willow said as she walked towards the kitchen table and took a seat while everyone else followed and saw Harl lay out the paperwork in front of the seats and tell everyone where to sit.
"Alright now here are some pens for everyone, and all you have to do is sign on the marked lines on pages one, two, and four." Harl said as he sat down on one of the barstools nearby.
Everyone took a minute to flip through the pages and examined them before signing at each of the indicated spaces before handing them over to Harl.
"Wonderful. I'll go get some copies of this handed over to the appropriate persons but this is for all intents and purposes said and done now." Harl said as he stacked the papers and grabbed them with one arm while pulling his scroll out with the other.
"Well this is great that we've gotten this handled so quickly." Jaune said as he looked at the others around the table.
"Indeed it is lad and I got some spare keys layin round so ye and yer missus can have a key ready." Skadi said as she leaned back into the seat she was in.
"Thank you Skadi, that's really kind of you." Willow said with a warm smile before moving to a new but still related subject. "When would you like the moving company to show up for you?"
"Ba I hav'nt that much to pack lass. Just me clothes, the pictures hangin' round the house and some small trinkets. Most of it been packed already which is why you see the walls lookin so barren. Ye give me till tomorrow afternoon and I'll have the boxes ready for em to ship."
"Really, so soon?" Jaune asked.
"Aye. I already told ye that I was packin' already. Just need to put some clothes in my suitcase, put trinkets in the box or two I need and get on the road. Speakin' of gettin' on the road, would it be too much to ask if one of ye could give me a ride to the airport. I don't know if ya noticed but I ain't got no car in the driveway." Skadi replied.
"I think Klein can certainly take you to the airport tomorrow when you need it. He's quite the skilled driver after all." Willow said with a nod as she looked towards the portly man in question.
"I can absolutely do that." Klein said as he pulled out a card and handed it to Skadi. "Here you go Mrs. Skadi. Just give me a message or a call when you are wanting to be taken to the airport."
"Thank you Mr. Klein, I'll give you a call tomorrow. Now give me just one second." Skadi said as she stood up and went to one of the drawers in the kitchen and opened it. "Ah, here they are." Skadi said as she grabbed something into her hand and then closed the drawer before walking back over to the kitchen table.
"Here ya are ye love birds." Skadi said as she tossed two keys onto the table.
"Oh wow, thank you Skadi." Jaune said as he picked one up and Willow gave her thanks as well while picking up the other key.
"Yer welcome, if you all will excuse me though I need to go on and get to makin sure me stuff is all packed so I can have it picked up tomorrow. I'll see you tomorrow Mr. Driver, and I'll be talkin to everyone later. Thank ya Mrs. Schnee for some help with this." Skadi said with a smile.
"You are most welcome Skad and thank you for everything. Your hospitality, the wonderful house you're letting us purchase, and the news of the new life among others. I hope your trip tomorrow is a safe one." Willow said as she stood up and along with everyone else walked to the front door as everyone else said their thanks as well.
After the group had gotten back into the car, Klein started the car up and began the drive back to the hotel where Saphron, Terra, and Adrian were staying to drop them off.
"You're not just going to let it go with her giving us the house for cheap and the furniture are you?" Jaune said as he turned to face his wife in the seat next to him.
"Goodness no. At the very least it wouldn't sit well with me even knowing she got it for cheap and wanted to pass it on when I can afford to pay it. So I'll just pay it forward again. Here watch and learn how I was taught to repay kindness by my father." Willow said as she pulled out her scroll and dialed a number.
"Hello there Clarence, yes it's me Willow. I'd like to see if you have any accounts in the bank linked to a daughter of one Skadi Frost." Willow said before allowing the man on the other line to speak and quickly interjecting.
"No, no, no. It's nothing bad, in fact it's quite the opposite. I know you guys are the biggest bank on Atlas so I thought she might have an account there that you could use to find the daughter and maybe see if the daughter has any outstanding loans that haven't been fully paid yet."
Jaune heard the man say something on the other end of the scroll but couldn't quite make it out.
"Yes, yes exactly. Like a mortgage, or a car loan, etc. Things like that." Willow replied.
Jaune could hear some muted typing from the scroll as he leaned in closer only to hear the man speak again.
"Ah yes it looks like she just bought a new car and still has a little left on her mortgage for her house." Clarence said.
"Excellent, how much is on each?" Willow responded as she gave Jaune a knowing look and let all the dots connect for him.
"It seems the car loan is basically brand new at 40,000 lien and the mortgage was originally 500,000 lien but it's down to around 120,000 lien now. Seems like she's been working pretty diligently on those loan payments to get it down quickly. It's rather commendable, even if the bank makes its money from the interest." Clarence said as he looked over his computer screen.
"Well it's nice to see she worked hard to pay those off well. Do me a favor Mr. Gray and take out 160,000 lien from my account and pay off those two things. You can put a note on their saying "friend of her mother's" when you do it so it looks more neat if you need to." Willow said with a smile as she looked at the shocked faces of her fellow occupants in the car.
"Understood Mrs. Schnee, consider it done. If that is all, I'll let you get back to your task at hand. Have a good day ma'am." Clarence said as Jaune could hear more typing being done in the background as the man set to work on it immediately.
"That is it Mr. Gray, hope you have a good day as well." Willow said with a smile as she brought the scroll away from her ear and pressed the end call button before looking at the bemused faces of the stunned occupants to address the elephant in the room.
"Well go on, ask your questions, dears." Willow said as she leaned back into her seat.
It looked like Terra was about to ask the first question but Saphron beat her to it.
"How!? You just called up the bank and got her info? That's not, isn't that illegal? Like HOW?"
"Well when you're one of the largest account holders in the bank you get on quite friendly terms with the bank after all and that can come with a few special privileges." Willow said with a small smirk.
"That's still highly illegal!" Terra and Saphron said at the same time as they looked at the Schnee matriarch seated across from them.
"I prefer the term charitable private investigator work." Willow said as she leaned back into the seat before shifting her weight and leaning towards Jaune.
"Well I'm sure they'll appreciate it when they figure it out. Or well Skadi might not but the daughter probably will." Jaune said with a laugh as Willow joined in.
"No, no she probably won't but that's ok because I'll feel ok about it, and speaking of that." Willow said as she opened her scroll once again and set about calling the moving company for Skadi.
As Willow did that, Jaune turned his attention to his sister, her wife, and their son who sat across from him. "So do you think it would be better to get this call with mom and dad over now or do you think I can wait until a bit later?" Jaune sheepishly asked as he rubbed the back of his head.
"No dear brother, I don't think this can simply wait." Saphron said as she leaned towards Jaune.
"I also think you probably shouldn't wait to tell them." Terra said as she added her two cents before Saphron spoke again.
"Plus I want to hear their reactions and see your face when it happens. It's going to be great." Saphron said with a huge grin.
"Ok yeah, I want to see that too." Terra said as a grin formed on her face that matched Saphron's.
"Well maybe we should uh, you know go and get a test first to make sure before we get mom's hopes up?" Jaune said/asked in a half hearted tone only to be met by the deadpan looks of those seated across from him. Yes, even adorable Adrian had copied his moms' posture and was sitting arms crossed staring at Jaune.
"Well we should at least wait until Willow gets finished with her call, right?" Jaune said as he looked to his wife only to find she was closing her scroll after wrapping up the call.
"Good news Jaune, the call is done." Willow said with a grin similar to the one his sister and sister in law wore.
"Not you too." Jaune said with a groan as his head fell into his hands.
"It'll be funny, probably." Willow said with a laugh at Jaune's reactions.
"All right," Jaune said with a sigh as he pulled out his scroll and put in the number for his dad. "Here goes nothing." He said as he pushed the dial button and turned it on speaker mode.
After a few rings, Jaune began praying his dad wouldn't pick up and he could delay this longer and it appeared that would be the case as the call went to voicemail.
With a relieved sigh Jaune closed his scroll and placed it back into his pocket before leaning back into the seat.
"Looks like you two are going to have to wait a little longer for us to tell dad." Jaune said with a grin of his own, matching the one Saphron and Terra had.
As Saphron was about to give a retort though they heard a scroll start buzzing and the occupants of the vehicle saw the color drain from Jaune's face.
"Looks like we won't have to wait too long after all little bro." Saphron said with a wink and a massive smug grin.
With a sigh Jaune pulled his scroll back out of his pocket and opened it up before answering the call and putting it on speaker mode.
"Hey dad."
"Jaune! Sorry I missed your call, I was a little too slow to get to the scroll."
"Not slow enough apparently." Jaune mumbled under his breath as the rest of the car's occupants had to stifle a laugh.
"What was that?" Nicholas asked.
"Nothing dad," Jaune said as he looked around at the expectant looks being given to him as he decided to begin the process of ripping the band-aid off quickly. "Hey um. Is mom around you right now?"
"She's not next to me but she's only in the next room. Do you need me to get her?" Nicholas asked with concern.
"Yeah if you could. It's nothing bad, I just, well, you'll find out in a minute."
"Ok, let me call her in here." Nicholas said before moving away from the scroll and yelling. "Juniper! Get in here Jaune has something he wants to tell us.
"Oh boy." Jaune said nervously as Willow reached a hand out and took hold of one of his one with hers.
"It's going to be fine Jaune." Willow said as she looked him in the eyes and gave him a calm reassuring smile.
"Ok Jaune, your mother is in the room now too. What did you want to tell us?" Nicholas said from the other end of the scroll call.
"Well there are a few things I guess. One of the major ones is that Willow and I have bought a house in Vale." Jaune stated as he somewhat was stalling for the big news.
"Oh my, that's wonderful dear. What area of Vale is it?" Juniper asked.
"It's in the western area of Vale, Juniper." Willow answered, in an effort to try and help ease some of Jaune's nerves.
"Oh that's wonderful. We'll have to come and visit sometime. I'm sure you two got a lovely house." Juniper responded.
"That sounds great mom, but the interesting thing is the elderly woman we bought the house from. She's a retired huntress."
"Well you certainly don't see or hear too many of that in my field son. What's the interesting part besides her job though?" Nicholas responded.
"Well are you two sitting down?" Jaune asked nervously.
"We are." Nicholas responded hesitantly.
"Well the retired huntress has a special semblance. One specifically suited for search and rescue. The ability to see life." Jaune said.
"Oh boy." Nicholas said as he connected the dots before Juniper did.
"Well how is that a bad thing?" Juniper asked aloud as she looked at Nicholas.
"Well mom, she told us, Willow and I, that we are uh, well we're kinda expecting now?" Jaune said as he finished the statement with little confidence.
"Grandbabies?" Juniper asked quietly but loud enough everyone heard it regardless.
"Technically it's just grandbaby mom. Willow and Jaune are only expecting one based upon what Skadi said." Saphron stated unable to resist the urge to jump in.
"GRANDBABIES! NICHOLAS WE NEED TO GO SHOPPING!" Everyone heard Juniper yell as the scroll call disconnected.
"Well that went about as well as I expected." Jaune said with a mixture of a sigh and a laugh.
"Honestly it was about what I expected too. It was about the same reaction when we told Mom and dad ourselves." Saphron said as she leaned back into her seat.
"We should probably think about what to do with the baby. Like check ups, ultrasounds, and all that goes with that. Not to mention if we want to know the gender of the baby and all the shopping that goes with that." Jaune said with a sigh as he could see the amount of work piling up for him in the future.
Now alongside the typical student coursework, he had business education to do as well as the work associated with preparing to be a parent. Not to mention ultimately the work of actually being a parent.
"Don't forget you'll have to host a baby shower little bro." Saphron said seeing the gears turn in his head.
"Oh you two can hold it at your new house you just got. It can be a housewarming party and a baby shower all in one." Terra suggested.
Meanwhile back in the western district of Vale in a newly sold house, a scroll started buzzing. The old woman nearby finished taping up a box and looked over and smiled before picking it up.
"Hello dear. How are ya?" Skadi asked as she set the scroll to speaker mode and tore off another piece of tape for the next box.
"Mom, I have a question for you regarding something at my bank." Skadi's daughter said as she heard her mom tear off another piece of tape.
"Aye. Go on ahead then." Skadi said as she slapped the piece of tape in her hand on the box before tearing off another.
"Mom, this is super serious. Can you stop what you're doing for a second and pay attention to me?"
"No can do girlie. I sold me house now I need to make sure and pack my stuff for the movers tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? Wait, you sold the house already?"
"Aye just sold it this afternoon. Lovely couple they were, those two. Got the deal done on the spot and cash to the bank. Gave 'em both the same deal me and your father got when we bought the house way back then."
"And they gave you the cash already? Mom please don't tell me you've been scammed. I don't think my lawyer friends owe me enough favors to work pro-bono."
"Relax dearie. It'll be fine. They are reputable so it won't be a big deal to worry about."
"You know them then?"
"I don't personally know 'em, or rather I didn't before today but I know them and the rest of the world does too. It shouldn't end bad at all, so you can calm yerself dearie. Now tell ma what you called about." Skadi said as she finished taping up the last moving box and picked up her scroll.
"Well I got a call from the bank and they said my car loan and what's left of my mortgage was paid off as well. When I asked them all they said was the note on it said 'friend of mother's' so what is all that about."
Skadi let out a deep laugh before calming herself to address her daughter's question.
"Tell me dearie, how much was all that in total?"
"It was around 160,000 lien mom. That's no small amount of money."
"Tell me dearie, do you remember what the discount me and your father got on our house?"
"Well yeah you two talked about it all the time. It was around 100,000 lien."
"And with the inflation of the years since then how much would it be?"
"I don't know- wait are you saying?"
"Yes dearie it would be around 160,000 maybe closer to the 170,000 mark. The discount I gave they just put it towards your bills instead. Sneaky little woman, I'll give her that. Or so she thought. I could see it in her eyes when she agreed. I didn't know what she'd do but I figured the Schnee matriarch would certainly do somethin. And do it she did." Skaid said with a laugh.
"You sold your house to the Schnees?"
"Aye I did. Her and her well, you'll see eventually I'm sure." Skadi said with a chuckle as she alluded to the secret.
"Well that would certainly explain how she was able to get access and pay it off. Alright, well just send me the details of your flight tomorrow mom and I'll make sure I'm there to pick you up."
"Alright dearie I'll send it over. I'll see you tomorrow, love ya."
"Love you too mom. See you tomorrow."
Skadi smiled as the call disconnected and she looked around the room and took in all the memories that were there.
"Well Henry, I guess it's truly time to pass it onto the next generation. I bet they'll do great things in this place. Well now that all 'em boxes are packed, I guess it'll do me some good for some sleep." Skadi said aloud as she walked over to the wall and turned off the lights before going towards the bedroom for one last night's sleep in the house.
As the call between Skadi and her daughter was wrapping up, the groups' car had arrived at the hotel the Cotta-Arcs were staying at.
"Thank you for the time today Willow, and everything that happened. We truly appreciate it." Saphron said as she got out of the car with Adrian not too far behind.
"Yes, thank you for everything Willow. You truly helped us out today. Thank you." Terra said with a little bow after she got out of the car as well.
"It's perfectly fine Terra. I'm happy to help, all I ask is that you just give it your best when you're at work." Willow replied with a warm smile.
"I will Willow, you can rest assured of that. All of you have a good night." Terra said before she and the rest of them turned and began walking into the hotel.
"Well I guess it's about time to get you back to Beacon then, isn't it?" Willow said as she turned her attention away from the group walking into the hotel and back towards Jaune.
"Unfortunately, it would appear so." Jaune replied as he similarly turned his attention from his sister and her family and onto Willow.
"Then I guess we should get you back there." Willow said with a sigh as she leaned over until she was leaning against Jaune before grabbing his hand with her own.
Nothing else was said the rest of the ride to the bullheads as Jaune just leaned against Willow as well and held her hand in his own.
As the car came to a halt outside of the bullhead docks, Jaune and Willow reluctantly separated.
"Looks like it's time for me to go." Jaune said as he looked out the window.
"So it would seem." Willow said as she leaned over and gave Jaune a kiss.
"When are you going to have the moving company come move stuff in?" Jaune asked after their lips parted.
"Well being most of the furniture is staying I figure we can just move what little we need to ourselves. No need to spend a few hundred lien on it, when we can do it ourselves and put that elsewhere." Willow replied.
"Sounds smart to me." Jaune said with a laugh before giving Willow a hug and exiting the car, before turning around to close the door.
"What day though?" Jaune asked before he closed the door.
"Let's do the day after tomorrow. You can come by after class gets out."
"Works for me." Jaune said as he shut the door and waved goodbye to Willow and to Klein as well before turning and walking towards the bullhead dock.
"Alright Klein, let's head back to the hotel. I'm sure we'll have more things on our itinerary tomorrow to see to, then the day after as well before I get to unpack loads of stuff."
"Your schedule is always plenty full madam, so you never need to worry about that." Klein replied with a chuckle before putting the car back into drive and beginning the drive back to the hotel so they could both retire to their rooms for the night.
Meanwhile back in the bullhead, Jaune had successfully made it through the flight without getting airsick and was actually able to step off the bullhead with his head held high.
Jaune didn't see too many other students out and about on his way back to his dorm but that kind of made sense being it was getting late and most people were getting ready for bed and all the classes that tomorrow would bring.
As Jaune was approaching his dorm he saw Yang walking down the hallway towards him.
"What's up lady killer? What have you been up to all day?" Yang asked with a wave.
"Just hanging out with my family and apartment/house shopping. One of my sisters, her wife got the job with SDC for the branch here so I went shopping with them."
"Oh cool, see any houses out there for you and the missus?" Yang asked with an eyebrow wiggle to which Jaune just lightly sighed.
"Yeah we found one, bought it too. We'll be moving in some stuff the day after tomorrow. I'll be going to help after classes finish up."
"Oh cool, we'll come along to help. Don't worry though we'll leave with enough time to make sure you two can thoroughly break in the house." Yang said with a grin as she raised her eyebrows.
"Uh huh, sure Yang. I'm going to go back to my dorm and get ready for bed. Have a good night, with whatever you're going to do."
"Thanks vomit boy, I'm going to go knock some training bots around to destress a bit before bed. You have a good night too."
After walking a little bit of walking, Jaune arrived at his door and pulled out his scroll to unlock the door. After waiting for the beep, he turned the door handle and went inside.
"Hey guys I'm back." Jaune said as he closed the door.
"Hey Jaune." Came the replies of his teammates.
"How was your day?" Asked Pyrrha as she walked over towards him.
"It was eventful I'll say that but, we found a place for my sister and her family to live so I think it worked out well."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah I'll be helping them out in the coming days to help move them in. I'm helping Willow the day after tomorrow when I get done with classes for the day."
"Hey Jaune speaking of Willow, do you mind if we talk about her, in private?" Pyrrha asked as she looked over at her other two teammates.
Ren just looked at Pyrrha and Jaune before grabbing Nora's hand and saying they were going for a walk.
Pyrrha have Ren a small nod as he led Nora out the door leaving just Jaune and herself in the room.
"Alright what did you want to talk about?" Jaune asked as he sat down on his bed and looked at his partner.
"Well, I um, I've talked to Willow about you."
"Ok?" Jaune asked not really sure where Pyrrha was going with this. "I know I've told you this before Pyrrha but there's nothing bad with our relationship and it's not-"
"I love you!" Pyrrha exclaimed, interrupting Jaune.
"What?" A dumbfounded Jaune asked.
"I've liked you since initiation and my feelings have only grown stronger since. I was dropping hints here and there and was waiting for you to notice and ask about me but then you got married to Willow…" Pyrrha said before trailing off and looking away before looking back with determination on her eyes.
"I'm sorry Pyrrha. I didn't notice."
"I could tell and I thought it was hopeless but then Nora told me about an old law where a person could take multiple partners and it technically hasn't been repealed ever so we could still work."
"Wait, is this what you talked to Willow about?"
"Yes, she told me to take down some notes and to prove I love you. Although I don't know if that was more of a challenge to prove it to her it was real or to prove to myself it's not real."
"Pyrrha…"
"But I'm sure it's real so I want to hear your answer."
"Pyrrha I, I don't know what to say."
"Just say yes." Pyrrha pleaded as she leaned in closer to Jaune before Jaune placed a hand on her shoulder and pulled her in for a hug.
"I'm sorry Pyrrha. Even if the law says it's okay, that goes against the Arc creed we say during marriage. I can't accept your feelings, Pyrrha. I'm sorry." Jaune said as he felt the tears begin to fall on his shoulder.
"It's not fair." He heard Pyrrha say as he heard her crying intensify before she pulled back and he saw it. "I liked you first, I've been by your side. I've trained you, been there for you, and she gets you just because of one dumb night. Why? Why did this happen?"
I'm sorry Pyrrha, I don't know why things happen, but things always happen for a reason." Jaune said as he tried to calm his crying partner.
Pyrrha pulled back out of his reach and grabbed her scroll off her bed. "I'm, I'm going to go for a walk. Tell Nora and Ren to not wait up for me." Pyrrha said as she tried to calm down and stop crying for the time being.
"Pyrrha I-" Jaune said as he stood up.
"No Jaune, just give me some time please." Pyrrha said as she opened the door and walked out.
Jaune let out a sigh and collapsed back onto his bed and after a few mins the door opened and Nora and Ren walked in.
"I'm guessing that didn't go well?" Nora said as she looked at Jaune who was all by himself in the room.
"No Nora, it didn't go well. I told Pyrrha I couldn't accept her even if the law says it's okay."
"Oh." Nora said as she looked towards Ren, unsure of what to do.
Meanwhile a single message was visible on the screen of Pyrrha's scroll as she walked towards the bullhead docks and the lone bullhead docked there.
"Yes, I'm free tonight, meet me at the docks." The message read.
Pyrrha smiled a little as she saw the bullhead and white haired woman leaning against it waiting for her.
"Hey Winter." Pyrrha said with a small smile as she approached the bullhead.
"C'mon girl, let's go get you cheered up." Winter said before giving Pyrrha a quick hug and getting into the bullhead with Pyrrha following right behind her.
A/N: Well that's the chapter. How was it? What did you think and how will this situation resolve itself? Find out next time.
