AN: Hey….. I'm back. Before we start I just want to apologize for the agonizing long wait, I had life stuff to deal with, been checking out other Anime's for a new project, I was watching Sword Art Online, Kill La Kill, Black Rock Shooter, and Madoka Magika in case your curious, I'll put more up on this in the future but I will tell you that RWBY is involved and it will be up on my Wattpad account, in the meantime please enjoy the long awaited third chapter of RWBY Mei and Li
Disclaimer: I don't own RWBY and special thanks and full credit to Ookaminoki on Tumblr for Mei and Li.
Mei awoke with excitement for today is the day both her and her mothers were preparing for, the Family Reunion. Mei quickly got dressed and began to mentally remind herself who was coming to the reunion.
"Auntie Blake, Auntie Yang, Grandpa Taiyang, Great Uncle Qrow, Auntie Winter, and both Raven and Grandpa Schnee are uncertain, oh and I can't forget Li she's the most important, she better not forget our deal!" Mei told herself.
"Mei you up?" Mei heard her Mom, Ruby, call for her. "Yes Mom, coming" Mei responded. Mei then came down and was greeted by the sight of a table full of food and drinks, including cookies, cheese, crackers, and punch.
"You guys went all out" Mei stated to herself. Mei then yelped when her mom, Ruby, Snuck up from behind and showered her with hugs and kisses.
"Good morning my White Rose" Ruby sang to Mei.
"Mom you dolt, put me down!" Mei demanded while giggling to her mom's affection. When Mei was released her Mother, Weiss, showed up and Mei rushed to hug her.
"Morning Mei" Weiss hugged her daughter back.
"So what's the scoop honey?" Ruby asked Weiss and Mei released her grip on her.
"Ok" Weiss started "Blake and Yang called and said there running a little late due to picking up Taiyang, Winter will be here with Qrow soon, as for Raven and My Father it's still uncertain" Weiss finished.
"Can't say I'll be sad if he doesn't show up" Ruby added "He didn't exactly give us his blessing when we got engaged" Ruby finished and Weiss nodded in agreement.
After a few more minutes of preparation the doorbell echoed through their small mansion.
"I'll get it" Ruby yelled in excitement. Ruby got to the door and opened it to reveal Qrow and Winter.
"Winter, good to see you again" Ruby greeted Winter and held her hand out to shake.
"It's good to see you as well Ruby" Winter responded and shuck Ruby's hand.
"Weiss and Mei ae just inside if you want to see them" Ruby stated while pointing her thumb in the house.
"Thank you" Winter stated and proceeded in the mansion like house.
"UNCLE QROW!" Ruby yelled and bear hugged Qrow. "Ah it's been too long, did you miss me, did you miss me?"
Qrow simply looked at his niece and smirked "nope" he stated and rubbed her head.
"Come on in, Mei is dying to see you" Ruby told Qrow
Inside the house
"Auntie Winter!" Mei yelled and gave her similar treatment that Ruby gave to Qrow.
"Good to see you again Mei" Winter responded and hugged her back.
"Hello Winter, It's been a while" Weiss told Winter.
"It certainly has sister" Winter responded. When Mei released her grip Winter gave Mei a bag.
"I got a gift for you Mei, go take a look" Mei then took the package and ran away while yelling "Thanks Aunt Winter" leaving the Schnee sisters.
"Winter I know I say this every time we meet but I thank you so much for giving me and Ruby your Blessing" Weiss told Winter. Back when Ruby and Weiss announced their engagement the only the only member of Weiss's family that blessed them was Winter, even her own father disapproved and tried to stop the marriage but Weiss managed to stop him with help from her wife, teammates and most of all her sister. Even after the wedding he tried to separate them but he realized he failed after Mei was born.
"Sister and every time you thank me I tell you that I'm more than willing to give it to you, she makes you happy and that's all I care about." Winter responded and the sisters hugged each other. Weiss and Ruby may hold the Schnee name but her father, Fredrick Schnee, cut all tie's from them and would only give Weiss ownership of Vale Shipments for the SDC, while Winter continued her work in the Atlas Military.
"Are we here at a bad time?" Ruby asked when she and Qrow entered. Weiss and Winter immediately released their hug, "No not at all" Winter responded.
"Hello Qrow, long time no see" Weiss greeted Qrow.
"It certainly has Ice Queen" Qrow responded and the two exchanged a simple handshake.
"Well Blake, Yang, Li, and Dad are running a little late so make yourselves comfortable" Ruby told their guests.
"What about Raven?" Qrow asked Ruby.
"No response Uncle Qrow" Ruby answered.
"Figures" Qrow responded.
"And… him" Winter asked not even wanting to say his name.
"Fredric didn't respond either" Weiss answered her sister.
"Real Shocker" Winter answered plainly.
"Well I'd like to see my Great Niece" Qrow stated.
"She ran off that way" Weiss directed him.
"Thanks Weiss" Qrow responded and headed off to see Mei. Mei was currently going through all the gifts her Aunt Winter got her, it was mainly cloths and jewelry, anything a little girl would want.
"She spoils you too much" a male voice is then heard behind Mei and when she turned around to see its owner she saw her Great Uncle.
"Great Uncle Qrow!" Mei yelled and as she ran to give him a big hug.
"Hey there White Rose" Qrow responded while hugging Mei back.
"It's so awesome to see you again, did you miss me?" Mei asked and Qrow playfully responded "Nope" like he does with her mom.
"Oh I almost forgot, did you finish it?" Mei asked Qrow. A while back Mei asked Qrow to make her a dagger sword hybrid to help her control her sword summon more efficiently.
"Here you go Ice flower" Qrow responded while giving her the weapon, "Made from both the hardest and lightest metal that Lien can buy, and don't cut yourself."
Mei giggled and said "I won't Uncle Qrow and thank you" and then she hugged him again but this time a bit more gently.
"Your welcome" Qrow responded while hugging back.
Two hours later
The doorbell rang again. "I'll get it" Weiss declared and Mei decided to follow her, when Weiss opened the door she was greeted by her sisters in law, Blake and Yang, her niece, Li, with three boxes of cookies, and her father in law, Taiyang.
"Good to see you again Weiss" Taiyang patted Weiss on the shoulder. When Ruby told him that her and Weiss's relationship Taiyang was a little hesitant, not because she was dating a girl two years older than her, because she was a Schnee but after seeing how happy they were together he was more than willing to give Weiss his daughters heart.
"Same with you Taiyang" Weiss responded and gave him a gentle hug. Taiyang became more of a father figure to Weiss after losing her connection with her real father after she and Ruby got married.
"It's been too long Weiss" Blake reached out for a hand shake.
"Indeed Blake, you look well" Weiss responded to her friend from Beacon.
"Thank you" Blake responded.
"Hi sissy in law, give me some love!" Yang greeted and gave Weiss one of her signature back breaking hugs.
"Y-yang n-ne-need air" Weiss demanded and Yang released her.
"Ops sorry Weiss" Yang apologized.
"Its fine" Weiss responded "It's good to see you again." Weiss then knelt towards her Niece, Li, the apparent cookie delivery girl.
"Hi Aunt Weiss" Li said.
"Hi Li it's been way too long" Weiss responded and helped Li put the cookies down to give her a hug.
"I missed you" Li told Weiss.
"Thanks Li, now why do you have so many cookies?" Weiss asked.
"There for Mei" Li answered her.
Weiss just nodded her head, "I'm not even going to ask." When the new guest's entered Mei saw the guest she was excited to see the most, her half cousin Li.
"Li!" Mei shouted in excitement.
"Mei!" Li responded, she then gave her mom, Blake, the cookies and ran to tackle Mei with a hug. When they fell to the ground Mei grunted in pain, "W-why?" Everyone was giggling at the sight.
"I'll take these Blake" Weiss told her while taking the cookies to the kitchen. Li eventually let Mei get back up so she could say hi to the guests.
"Hi Mei you look great today" Taiyang told his granddaughter.
"Thanks Grandpa" Mei responded while Taiyang rubbed her head and proceeded to the living room.
"Hi Aunt Blake" Mei greeted Blake and gave her a gentle hug.
"It's great to see you again Mei" Blake responded while hugging back and gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead. After Blake went to the living room to meet the others Mei rushed to meet her favorite Aunt, Yang.
"Welcome back Aunt Yang!" Mei yelled in excitement while they hugged each other.
"Has my favorite niece been good?" Yang responded to Mei.
"Silly Aunt Yang, I'm your only Niece" Mei responded. When they released Yang gave Mei a big kiss on the cheek and left Mei and Li to catch up.
After a few seconds of silence Li spoke first, "So I got the cookies so are we good on the whole train thing?"
Mei her head while smiling and said "Were good" Li then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well Mom and Yang told me I should go and say hi to everyone before we can hang out so I should go do that" Li told Mei.
"I'll go get the game ready" Mei responded. Li then entered the living room to meet some of the others.
"I already said hi to Grandpa and Aunt Weiss so I can cross them off my list" Li told herself, "I'll say to Winter, then Great Uncle Qrow and it with Aunt Ruby, yeah that sounds good."
Li then entered the living room to see Winter. "Hi Winter" Li greeted her and reached out to shake hands.
"Hello Li, it's good to see you again" Winter responded and gave Li a hand shake. Li and Winter don't know each other as much as Mei did so they have more of a mutual friendship then an Aunt and Niece relationship. Li then spotted Qrow talking to Yang.
"To be honest Yang I thought you'd choose some cool gun arm, like a fire gun or a Gatling gun" Qrow said to Yang, "Are you sure the basic is enough?"
"Qrow this is fine" Yang responded "I can use Ember Celica with it, besides I don't wanna hold my kid with a weapon"
Qrow then placed his hand on Yangs shoulder and said "You really have grown up firecracker." Li then poked Qrow's arm to get his attention.
"Hi uncle Qrow" Li greeted him and he knelt down and rubbed Li's head in between her cat ears.
"Hi there kitten" Qrow her. Qrow didn't visit Li as much as her Aunt Ruby did but whenever he did she was always happy to see him. After a brief hug Li eventually left Qrow to meet her favorite Aunt, Ruby, who was know in a conversation with Winter.
"So here's the information Qrow and I found on Summer" Winter said to Ruby while handing her a scroll shaped object to her.
"Thank you Winter" Ruby responded while taking the object "so you and Qrow are going on mission's, are you two doing ok?" Ruby then asked Winter.
After a brief pause Winter spoke up "We're still alive so far."
"Ha ha you and Weiss really are sisters" Ruby responded, "I hope you two smile a lot, more smiles will make your time together even better." Ruby tells her while making a big smile and points both of her fingers at it.
Winter then makes a small smile and say's "I see you and Weiss are doing well." Before Ruby could respond Li pokes her on the belly to get her attention.
"Hi Auntie Ruby" Li greets her. Ruby then explodes into joy.
"Li!" she yells and sweeps Li up in a hug with a lot of kisses on the cheek "Has my special niece been good" Ruby asked her. Li didn't mind her Aunt giving her tight hugs but it was getting hard to breath.
"I'm doing good Aunt Ruby, can you please put me down?" Li responds and Ruby put's her down.
"Sorry" Ruby apologizes "Hey Mei was really excited to see you, so go hang out with her, we'll get you when dinner's ready" Ruby then tells Li.
Li responds with "Thanks Aunt Ruby" and then leaves to meet her cousin. Ruby eventually left to meet her sister in law and friend, Blake.
"Hi Blake" Ruby greeted her.
"Hi Ruby, you look well" Blake responds.
"Thanks Blake, How are you and Yang doing?" Ruby asked.
"We're doing great, Li is happy and that's all we care about" Blake responded. "What about you and Weiss?" she asked Ruby.
"We're doing awesome and Mei is one happy girl" Ruby responded, "I know this might sound cheesy but there the reason I'm happy"
"I know what you mean and Yang and Li are the reason I'm happy" Blake responded, "So what do you do when you're not a huntress?" Blake asked again.
"I run a weapons shop It's called 'Rose Arms'" Ruby answered her.
"I see" Blake responded while giggling at the store name. "So what kind of stuff doe's the store offer?" Blake asked.
"I buy, sell, trade, upgrade, and even make custom weapons and ammo" Ruby responded, "I even give out free cookies, I know weapons and cookies sound like an odd mix but the customers love it." Ruby added, "So what do you do Blake?"
"Yang and I have started a Faunus equality foundation" Blake responded then Ruby gave her a hug and said "That's awesome Blake I'm proud of you"
Blake hugged back and said "Thanks Ruby." After talking with Blake a little longer, Ruby decided to talk to her sister Yang.
"Hi sis" Ruby greeted her.
"Hi Rubes" Yang responded and the two sisters hugged and began talking.
"So how's the shop going Rubes?" Yang asked.
"Great sis" Ruby responded "You work as a mechanic right, how's that going" Ruby asked.
"Yes I'm a mechanic rubes and it's going great" Yang answered.
"That's good" Ruby responded. "I hope you don't mind me asking but how's your arm?" Ruby asked.
"I don't mind" Yang responded "It's doing fine Ruby, back then Weiss said she would hire the best and that's exactly what I got." Ruby then looked at her arm remembering the origin of the parts.
"Yang, can I?" Ruby asked.
"Sure" Yang responded and lifted her arm so her sister could rub it. Back during the battle with Cinder Ruby lost her best friend, Penny, who was a robot, and Yang lost her arm by the man called Adam, and after Ruby saved Pyrrah and stopped Cinder by unleashing her Silver eyed warrior power's, Blake confessed her feelings to Yang, as well as Ruby and Weiss, and Yang wanted her new arm to be made of parts of Penny in her honor and that's exactly what she got. Ruby began to tear up from the memory.
"Hey it's ok" Yang told Ruby, "We won, Cinder and her goons are locked away, Beacon is still standing, everything is all right"
Ruby then felt better "Of course sis, your right, thank you" Ruby thanked her sister.
"Any time Rubes" Yang responded.
Mei's room
"You'll never beat me Li!" Mei shouted.
"I don't lose that easily Mei!" Li shouted back.
"Let's end this!" Mei shouted again.
"Soaring Ninja Win's, Total anilation" the video game announcer said, Li won.
"NOOOO!" Mei shouted in defeat.
"And that's how you do it" Li replied. Mei and Li were playing Kung Fu Ninja Slayer Ultimate Death Battle Two, the game that Ruby played during her time at Beacon and eventually gave to Mei.
"Alright we're all tied up time to find out who the real winner is" Li informed Mei, and had a smirk on her face.
"We'll see who's smiling when I win, dolt" Mei retorted. Right before they started there next match Ruby snuck up behind them.
"Watcha up too girls?" She asked.
"I'm beating Mei at that game you gave her Aunt Ruby" Li answered and Mei threw a pillow at her.
"Shut up!" Mei yelled.
Ruby giggled and said "Its ok Mei your Aunt Yang always beated me at this game, and the first one was way better, also dinner's almost ready, might wanna rap up soon." Ruby then left the girls to finish up.
"Thanks Aunt Ruby we'll be down soon" Li yelled as she left. Right when Li was distracted Mei hid her controller in her pocket.
"Huh" Li shouted while looking for the controller. As the game began Mei started beating Li's character up. Mei then giggled at her evil trick and when Li noticed she got fired up.
"Mei!" Li growled.
"Uh oh" Mei said.
One argument later
Everyone was seated at Ruby's table, Ruby was at the front with Weiss on her left side and Mei on her right, behind Weiss was Blake, Yang and ending with Taiyang and behind Mei was Li, Qrow, and ending with Winter. Lots of food was there, all cooked by Weiss and Blake.
Ruby then stood up, "Before we eat I'd like to say thank you all for coming, it's so great to see all of you again, I'd also would like to say how grateful I am to have all of you, my family, and it looks like both Blake and Weiss did an amazing job with the food" Ruby stopped for a second to wink at Weiss who looked away and blushed, "So here's a toast" Ruby lifted her glass, "To family"
Then everyone lifted there glasses and said "To family"
Ruby then sat back down, "Know let's e-" but right before she could finish the doorbell rang.
"Odd everyone is already here" Weiss said as she went to the door.
"I'll come with you" Yang said as she followed Weiss. When Weiss opened the door both her and Yang saw two people they were certain weren't coming, Raven Branwen and Fredric Schnee.
"M-Mom"
"F-Father" both Weiss and Yang said at the same time.
AN: Yes the family reunion has to be two parts, don't worry I hate myself just as much as you do. I hope you enjoyed this long awaited chapter, and I'll see you in the next chapter (I'll try not to take so long next time).
