Yang looked out the window of the airship lost in thought. "Hey is it ok if I call you Auntie Yang?" Yuki asked. Yang's attention snapped to the seven year old that had a light grip on her hair.
"Yeah, sure. Why not." Yang replied, a little bit out of it.
"Are you mad at me?" Yuki asked. Yang shook her head.
"No, I'm not mad. It's just... If someone came and told you your dead sister was alive and had a daughter you'd be out of it too." Yang replied.
"I wish I had a big sister. I'm an only child. Mommy said that you were a great sister and that you always took care of her. I wish I had that." Yuki commented.
"I wasn't exactly a saint, Yuki. I made a lot of foolish decisions. I still do." Yang said.
"Don't we all though? I sometimes get in trouble for getting on the computer at night or for sneaking out of the house. Or playing with my pony at 1:00 in the morning." Yuki explained.
"Why were you playing with your my little ponies at 1:00 in the morning?" Yang asked.
"No, not my little ponies, but I do have those. I have a real live pony. Her name is Hazel and she's light brown with white socks." Yuki explained.
"Oh, a real pony, huh?" Yang said.
"Yep! And we have kitties and puppies too! We have a German Shepherd named Hero, a mini schnazur named Pupcake, a baby maltese named Lacey, two black cats named Dawn and Dusk, and five black kittens named Berry, Bob, Jellow, Anakin, and Rini. We also have some fishes, but I think we ate them all. OH! And a baby piggy named Bacon." Yuki said. Yang's eyes widened.
"That's a lot of poop to scoop." Yang said.
"That's true. Mommy makes me clean up after them all when I'm in trouble. I love animals though. Mommy said we may have to sell the kittens but I can keep Rini since she's my favorite. She said that we have too many kitties. " Yuki replied.
"That may be a little bit true." Yang laughed. Yuki grinned.
"I'll have to introduce you to them all. Oh and guess what!" Yuki exclaimed. Yang giggled.
"What?"
"No, guess!"
"Um... Your dog is pregnant?" Yang guessed. Yuki rolled her eyes and let out an exaperated sigh.
"No. Where did you get that from?" Yuki asked, rather put out with Yang not even being close.
"Well we were talking about kittens and how you had too many." Yang pointed out.
"Exactly! We were talking about the cats. Not the dogs. And what I was going to say is our house is really big. Big enough for an extra person." Yuki grinned. Yang cocked her head to the side.
"I thought you were an only child?" Yang said confused. Yuki slapped her forehead.
"OCHIES! You are hopeless, auntie Yang. I AM an only child. I always will be. I was hinting at you moving in with us. We have a lot of room in our house for you to choose from. And if you want you can have mine. I just want to move my toys." Yuki said.
"Woah! Slow down, speedy. I've got a restaurant to run. Plus I doubt your mommy and daddy need another mouth to feed." Yang said.
"Who said we had a man in the way. Mommy misses you, I like you, what could possibly go wrong?" Yuki said, trying to convince the blonde woman.
"Wait a second, where is your daddy?" Yang asked.
"I don't know." Yuki shrugged.
"Does mommy know?" Yang asked.
"I don't know. You'll have to ask her. I hack into people's bees wax but I've yet to find out anything about daddy. But mommy's been dating this really nice guy named Nathan. He even has a little girl close to my age. Her name's Jade. Jade's really fun to play with but I don't like how rough she can be. One time I made her mad and she pushed me down the stairs." Yuki explained.
"So it's just your mommy, you, and all those animals?" Yang asked for a quick assurance.
"Yep! I think that you should move in with us because all your facebook conversations are boring and or depressing, your tweets are all about work and cutting, your personal life is crappy which can be seen by your online dating profile that hasn't been used in three years. You have no life. Maybe when you move in you can get one." Yuki explained.
"Honestly are you a stalker or something?" Yang asked, slightly crept out by Yuki's knowledge on her personal life.
"It's more of a hobby than a job." Yuki replied casually. "I only look into people I'm interested in like you or maybe Will and Cassandra Shwartz."
"The prince and princess of Vale?" Yang asked.
"Yep, I love their movies. And they're only four years older than me. Did you know that their dad is a total jerk. Three years ago their parents got divorced and Cassandra is trying to change her last name to her mother's maiden name. I found this out from her private messages sent back and forth between her and princess Molly of Utopia. "
"You really have a lot to say, don'tcha, Yuki." Yang joked, lightly punching Yuki's arm.
"I guess I really do talk too much. All the kids I know say that and that I have no right to be alive because I'm nothing more than a mistake." Yuki said sadly, her cat ears flattening against her head.
"That's not true at all. Don't let them get under your skin." Yang said, ruffling Yuki's hair.
"I hope you're right." Yuki said.
...
Yang and Yuki stood in front of an old Victorian era house. It was covered in vines and with many rose bushes scattered about. A German Shepherd barked and ran to Yuki, knocking her to the soft green grass. Hero started to lick Yuki's face happily till he saw Yang than began to growl.
"No, Hero. Yang's a good lady. Be quiet." Yuki scolded. Hero quit growling and nuzzled Yuki's hand as an 'I'm sorry'.
"So this is it, huh?" Yang asked to nobody in particular. Suddenly a door slammed open and a rush of red rose petals blurred into view. Yang looked at the woman who was currently enveloping Yuki into a hug.
"Are you hurt?" the woman with big silver eyes and strait black and red hair asked.
"No, I'm ok, Mommy." Yuki replied.
"Where have you been!? I've been looking everywhere for you! I even called the freaking queen of Vale looking for you!"Yuki's mother scolded.
"We'll see how much you'll be scolding me when you see what I brought home. Auntie Yang!" Yuki called. Yang crept closer to the two figures.
"R-Ruby? Please tell I didn't come here for some prank." Yang begged. Ruby's eyes widened.
"S-Sissy? I-I've missed you so- How did you find Yuki?" Ruby asked.
"More like Yuki found me. You really should limit her access to the internet because she's been stalking me for a while." Yang answered. Ruby sighed.
"Yeah, we're working on breaking that habit." Ruby replied but then smiled at her older sister. "I've missed you so much sis." Ruby said as she realised Yuki and ran into Yang with her arm wide open for a hug.
"I missed you too, baby sis." Yang squeezed Ruby tightly.
"I'm sorry for lying." Ruby whimpered.
"It's ok. I shouldn't have snapped at you then let you leave. I thought I'd never be able to apologize to you for it. I've been foolish, I'm so sorry." Yang sobbed. All those lonely years of regret and depression, all those times she wanted nothing more than to hold Ruby tight and tell her that she loved her, it was all over now. No more regrets. No more pain.
"Don't cry, sis. You're really out of practice." Ruby murmured into Yang's shoulder.
"Understandably." Yang giggled a little.
"Told you so!" Yuki exclaimed.
"And what do you mean by that? You told me a lot." Yang chuckled as she broke her younger sister's embrace and knelt to look Yuki in the eye.
"That your sister's alive and I'm not a liar." Yuki crossed her arms over her chest confidently.
"Hey Yuki why don't you introduce me to all your animals." Yang said. Yuki grinned that almost identical grin to her mother's before running off.
"She's always been a bit curious about you." Ruby chuckled.
"I can tell, she talked my ear off on the airship." Yang laughed.
"Oh, yeah. You must be tired from the trip over here. Do you want to go lie down?" Ruby offered.
"Nah. I was thinking I'd play with Yuki a little bit, catch up with you and head home." Yang said.
"Oh, you weren't going to stay a little while? We've got plenty room. I'm sure that Yuki wouldn't mind at all." Ruby offered.
"So she wasn't just inviting me to move in for the heck of it?" Yang questioned.
"Nope! I want you around." Ruby said holding out her left hand. Yang hesitated but grabbed it.
"Then I guess I'm gonna need to relocate the restaurant." Yang said with a grin. A wide smile formed on Ruby's face.
"Y-You mean it?" Ruby asked getting excited.
"Yeah why not, obviously I'm gonna have to keep an eye on this Nathan guy and that spoiled brat Jade." Yang said. Ruby blushed.
"You realize I'm all grown up now, Yang? I can date without needing a chaperone." Ruby said.
"Maybe, but your still my baby sister and if he ever hurts you I'll straighten him out like a tangled pair of earbuds." Yang said, cracking her knuckles. Ruby's cheeks flushed more.
"He's not exactly barbaric or anything. Besides he'll ditch me if you give that kind of first impression." Ruby complained.
"Fine, I'll behave, but just know, I'm watching him." Yang gave a I'm watching you sign.
"You better behave." Ruby pouted.
"So what's the deal with Yuki's dad?" Yang asked.
"It's a really long story. But basically I was living with this scienctest for a while, trying to find a cure for nada, a while later, I end up with Yuki. But on the bright side of the situation, she's also Blake's niece." Ruby sheepishly grinned. "It could've been Weiss. I'd never hear the end of it."
"So let me get this straight, Yuki's father is Blake's brother and Blake knew you were alive and kept it from me?" Yang asked.
"No. Blake's brother is Yuki's father, he's keeping his research and therefore me from Blake who thinks I'm dead but she know that Yuki exists but isn't sure who or where she is." Ruby explained.
"T-That's really confusing." Yang shook her head.
"Told you it was a long, confusing story. Maybe later I'll tell you the rest." Ruby said.
"There's more?" Yang asked slightly irritated.
"Well duh. Obviously. Like Yuki has a twin brother that Blake's brother took and Blake only know he exists but she thinks my name is Kimberly and I died in a car crash." Ruby through the other facts out there.
"Ok, I need time for this all to sink in." Yang shook her head once more and sat on the grass.
"Give it all the time you need. It's all in the past. But you can't tell Yuki about any of this. She thinks her dad was eaten by a beowolf and she's an only child." Ruby said.
"Auntie Yang! Look at me!" Yuki came riding in on horseback. "This is Hazel. I told you about her." Yang chuckled and walked over to Yuki.
"You ride very well. Can you do any tricks?" Yang asked. Yuki nodded then suddenly.
"YUKI, WHERE IS YOUR HELMET?" Ruby scolded.
"You're no fun!" Yuki complained. Yang chuckled.
"Mommy's right, go get your helmet then show me." Yang said, lifting Yuki of off Hazel's back. Yuki handed the reins to Yang.
"Hold this." Yuki said as she ran back to the barn.
"She's got a big personality." Yang chuckled.
"Big personality and a hard child to keep track of. I really am glad I only have her because if she had siblings, she'd be half way around the world by lunch time." Ruby replied.
"Aw! But she's so cute!" Yang fonded.
"Yeah, cute has saved her many times." Ruby giggled.
"I'm ba-aaaa-ack!" Yuki cheered as she hopped upon Hazel's back, now wearing a teal and orange helmet. Yuki took the reins and her and Hazel charged towards a jumping rank completing it in record time.
"I'm not good at running but, I can ride a horse and I can control water, ice, frost, steam, water vapor, and even snow. " Yuki said as she hopped off Hazel's back.
"Cool. I can control fire." Yang replied.
"Like Jade. She can conjure up acids, lava, and fire. And she can sprout green dragon wings and fly away." Yuki said happily. "Can you fly, Auntie Yang?" Yuki asked.
"No, no. I can't fly." Yang chuckled.
"Yuki you need to change into some nicer clothes, we're gonna meet Nathan and Jade for dinner." Ruby said. Yuki smiled.
"YAY! Can I wear my pink frills?" Yuki asked.
"Yes, if it's clean you may. Go get dressed." Ruby replied. Yuki ran off to her room, disappearing into the large house. "You can borrow a dress from me. Come on, I don't want to be late." Yang grinned.
"Aw! How CUTE!" SLAP!
"Cut it out, sis. I'm still not good with people and this is my first relationship since Blake's brother." Ruby whined.
"It's still weird." Yang said as she walked into the large house.
