In Vacuo, Crow was walking around the city where everyone had grouped at.

"Things are calm for now," he thought while looking at some kids playing in the street before they ran off. He then walked over to a look out spot that allowed him to see the far stretching desert outside the city.

"Crow, the leaders want to talk with you," said Winter as she landed nearby.

"Be there in a second," said Crow at the same time he continued to look out at the desert before them.

"Still think they will come back?" asked Winter while moving to stand next to him.

"I just have to keep hope for it," said Crow.

"Wow, look at all of this!" came a familiar voice from behind the two of them.

"Didn't you do any growing up thanks to that tree?" asked another voice with a disapproving tone.

"I'm kind of glad she's still the same, our team just wouldn't be right without her goofy self," said a third voice before they all started laughing.

"Can it really be?" asked a shocked Crow. He and Winter then turned and saw team RWBY and Jaune standing at a dried up water fountain.

"Weiss," said Winter, getting the group's attention.

"Winter," said Weiss while Ruby and Yang called out to Crow.

"H… how did you all get here?" asked Crow after Ruby had talked him into a hug that nearly knocked him over.

"That's a long story," said Jaune.

"You can say that again, and I assume that the pun was intended," said Blake.

"Maybe it was," said Jaune.

"If any of us should have done some growing up it really should have been you, Jaune," said Yang.

"Sorry to interrupt, but right now we need to talk with Ozpin as soon as possible," said Ruby with a serious expression while letting her uncle go and taking a step back.

"We were just about to go see him," said a surprised Winter.

"Then lead the way," said Ruby.
