Chapter 16

Weiss is at the academy's garden and look around to find her partner. She readying herself to make sure she won't get ambush by the girl again. After few moments, she can't find her. She settles herself under the tree. As she turn her head to her left, she's startled as she saw a pair of crimson eyes looking at her. Ruby wears her red-collared shirt with her white cloak drape along her shoulders, black jeans and red sneakers. The white girl giggles. Weiss blushes in embarrassment, "Gosh, stop doing that! You almost look like Blake!"

"Just want to surprise my cute little princess~" she reply and snuggles to her cheeks. The heiress give her a smile. She asks, "So what do you want to show me?" The white girl take off her cloak and hand it over to her. The heiress is shock with the gift, "R-Ruby, I can't accept this. Isn't this quite important to you?"

"It'll be more important if you wear it. I was meaning to give you this for a while. You've been a great partner and friend to me. At least you should get something in return..." She smiles at her partner. Weiss slowly take the cloak from the white girl. Ruby give her a grin. The heiress puts on the cloak. She feel the warmth emitting from it. She look up to her partner and smiles.

Suddenly, they heard someone coughing behind them. Yang and Blake walk towards them. The settles themselves under the tree. "Now we're even, Weiss. We each got her cloak. But what does Blake gets, Ruby?" Yang say.

"That's easy! Blake gets to play with me~!" The white girl lunges herself to her Fauna friend and hug her. Yang and Weiss look at them with a heartbroken face. They shouts, "NO FAIR! WE WANT TO PLAY WITH YOU TOO!" Ruby and Blake burst into laughters. Even the blonde and the heiress laughs along.

The cold breeze of the morning brushes through their hair. The four of them lie onto the grass and look up to the sky. They observes the clouds and Yang exclaims, "That cloud looks like a cat."

"Really? I saw a bunny though.." Ruby responds.

"There's a wolf over here..." Weiss points at a cloud.

"That one looks like a lion..." Blake joins in the conversation too.

The four of them giggles. Ruby turn and lie on her belly. Her friends do the same thing as her. Ruby hands out her hand and take out her pinky. Weiss hook her pinky onto the white girl's. Yang and Blake follow their action. The white girl look at each of them and say, "We'll be together no matter what happens. We're a team, a family. We'll always be a team, forever..."

"Forever..." They nod and promise they won't leave each other behind. Because they're team RWBY. Togetherness is their priority. And family comes first...
