After Ruby had left the dorm she decided to go for a walk. To say that she was worried about confessing to Velvet would be an understatement. She had been gone for hours walking the same route around beacon thinking of all the possible ways she could tell the rabbit faunus. None of which were good enough for her liking. She didnt know how to go about this. She never thought that she would ever like anyone as much as she loved weapons but here she is facing it for the first time and she is stumped. "Maybe i should have asked Yang for advice on how to tell her" She thinks but then shakes her head "No, it might be something embarrassing. Ugh, why is this so hard?" She continues to walk for a little bit and suddenly comes to a stop and looks up to the sunset. "What would mom do?" she whispers and then gets an idea. She begins walking towards Beacon making her way towards her dorm.

As Ruby made her way to her dorm she ran into her teammates. "Ruby!" Yang says a little worried "Where have you been!? Dinner time is almost over, have you even eaten anything!?" She scolds.

"Dinner?" Ruby asks confused. During her daze she had completely lost track of time. She didnt realize how long she had been walking around. "Oh shoot! Ummm, ill get something on my way out" she says and continues heading to her dorm at a faster pace.

"On your way out? Where the hell do you think you are going at this hour?" Yang asks with a motherly scold.

Ruby abruptly stops and takes a deep breath, she looks over to Yang and she gives her a sad smile. "Im going to visit mom. I want to talk to her."

Yang also stops, her eyes widen and she looks down a little "Its getting late, should i come with you?"

Ruby shakes her head "No, ill be fine. Ill have Crescent Rose with me."

The other two teammates stand there in silence. Somehow what was supposed to be a lighthearted scold from sister to sister was overtaken by a great amount of tension. Neither Blake nor Weiss dared to try and break it for fear of making things worse. "Just be careful, please" Yang says

"Ofcourse!" Ruby says in a cheery yet sad tone to which all of her teammates caught.

"And call me if you get into any trouble"

"I will Yang, thanks" Ruby says before they all head to their dorm with Ruby leaving shortly after she had arrived.

After a few minutes of silence Weiss is the first one to say something. "Ummmmm, you mind explaining what just happened?"

Yang looks over to Weiss and gives a sigh "Its nothing. Just, seems Ruby has run into too many questions for herself to handle. So she is hoping to find some answers by talking to someone"

Blake chimes in "Meaning her mother?" Yang gives a nod.

"Im almost afraid to ask but, couldn't she just have called her?" Weiss asks and part of her regrets doing so.

Yang thinks on how she could answer Weiss "Its… really not that simple" Yang scratches the back of her head and jumps out of her bunk. "Im going to the gym." she says before leaving the dorm room leaving Weiss and Blake mildly confused.

It took about an hour or two to get to her destination. She would have taken her time but she knew it was already getting late and she didnt want Yang to worry anymore. As she approached, Ruby slowed her pace coming to a stop right in front of a gravestone that read "Summer Rose/Thus kindly i scatter".

After a few minutes of silence she begins. "Hey mom, its good to see you. I know i havent visited in a while but well, i've been pretty busy. A lot has happened since the last time, i got enrolled to Beacon, defeated a nevermore, was made the leader of my own team and made a lot of great friends… i also met someone, her name is Velvet and with Yangs help i learned that i like her, in the way Yang likes boys heheh. Its weird for me to even feel this way but i couldn't help it. She is kind, smart, and she's pretty. Also her ears are just so cute i want to play with them!" she says joyfully" But… I dont know what to do though. Its all so confusing and i dont know what's going to happen. What if it gets too awkward or what if she doesn't like me. I wish you were here so you can help me. You always knew what to say." She stays silent for a little while. "Well i should get going. Thanks for the talk and i promise to visit more often, there is a lot i do have to tell you but i dont want to worry my team any more than i already am." she turns to walk back and then gives another glance to the grave and says "i love you" and she begins heading to Beacon.

As she is walking back she comes across a clearing in the forest where she is soon met and surrounded by beowolves. Ruby gives a smirk and whispers "Good thing i came prepared". One of the beowolves charges in and before his attack hits she disappears.

The beowolves scan around for her target that suddenly vanished and soon look up to see Ruby in the air. With the shattered moon serving as an elegant background she swiftly pulls out Cresent Rose into its compact gun form and shoots a beowolf in the head killing it instantly. As she falls down she then shoots a few more beowolves before transforming Cresent Rose into its scythe form and laying the blade over and around a beowolve's shoulder before giving a smirk and slicing it in half. A few other beowolves charge in but she gracefully takes care of all of them not missing a step.

Ruby didnt expect these grimm to show up but she didnt mind it. To her this served as proof that she has the skills to be a huntress. As she was distracted by that thought a beowolf swipes at her to which she barely blocks but is pushed back a few feet. "Now you've done it". Ruby thinks to herself as she looks at the remaining beowolves of the pack. She switches out her clip before dashing into the beowolves killing every one of them. With each swing and each shot a beowolf dropped and at the end nothing remained as her bullet shells from her weapon rained down.

Ruby gives a sigh before putting her weapon away and pulling out her scroll. "Im on my way back. Ran into beowolves but i took care of them" she sent the message and began walking back. That is until she heard another growl.

Ruby quickly takes out Cresent Rose and turns to the noise. "There was one left?" she whispers before an Ursa Major charges at Ruby. Startled she goes to block but the force sends her flying and she hits a tree. She is winded by the force of the impact and struggles to get up while the Ursa charges in again. Ruby is cornered, she closes her eyes and waits for the impact. Right before the grimm reaches her a barrage of shots from what sounded like a shotgun ring out through the forest and the Ursa is out of sight. Ruby feels a familiar heat near her and she opens her eyes to the sight of her sister who looks both angry and relieved.

"I told you to be careful!" Yang says as she hugs Ruby

"Heheh, sorry" she chuckles nervously

"Why couldn't this wait until tomorrow?"

"I had a lot of questions, and i sort of felt lost without answers"

Yang sighs "Did you at least figure it out?"

Ruby nods "Yeah, i know what im going to do"

Yang smirks as she has an idea of where this going "And what would that be?"

Ruby looks at her with determination "im going to tell Velvet i like her...and ask her to be my girlfriend"

Yang fake sniffles and acts as if she's crying "My sister is growing up so fast"

"Shut up!" Ruby pouts. "Let's go back now"

"Aye aye captain" Yang says before they both head back to their dorm.

The next day Ruby wakes up feeling excited, determined and "OH CRAP WHAT WAS I THINKING. I DONT KNOW HOW TO CONFESS, THIS IS TOO MUCH. YANG SAVE ME" nervous. Her confidence was wavering as she just realized how hard its going to be to tell another person that she likes them. She never thought that her brain would come up with so many situations in which it backfires and thus she is afraid of telling her.

Yang ofcourse laughs as she holds Ruby who is clinging to her as a way out. "Come on Rubes what happened to all your determination from yesterday?"

"Well that was yesterday! Its a new day! People change!"

"Oh youre just nervous come on lets go find your girl" Yang makes her way out to which Ruby releases her hold on Yang and tries to run. Unfortunately it was useless since Yang grabbed her by the hood so she wouldn't escape.

"Wait, im not ready! Give me like a month, or a year! Schools important i cant just stop studying!"

Weiss gives her a scowl as she crosses her arms "Oh haa haa, like you ever really study. Last time you studied was so you could plan a trip to the movies"

"But, but-"

"No buts Rubes, come on it'll be fine" Yang continues on before they hear a knock on the door

"Wait Coco, what are you doing!? Hey, where are you going!? Dont leave me like this im not ready!"

Yang opens the door in confusion to see Velvet standing there holding her arm out as if she were trying to get some help. Yang gives a big mischievous smile. "Oh, hey Velvet, what's up?"

Velvet looks over to the now opened door and sees Yang there "O-oh, u-ummm. I uh. Well i was just. Ummm, I-"

Yang waits for a bit before she decides to speed this along and nudges her back slightly and pushes Ruby out of the door before closing it. "W-wait!" Ruby yells before she is locked outside with the girl she had to confess to.

Both Ruby and Velvet stood in silence not knowing what to say or what to do. Time was moving at a crawl and they were stuck. Soon both of them start "U-umm" they say in unison

"Oh, uh yes?" Ruby asks

"No, you go first" Velvet replies

"No please you, i already forgot what i was going to say heheh"

"No i insist i dont know what i was going to say myself"

They both stare at each other blushing. They know they want to get this over with but its like the words are stuck and will not come out. After a few minutes they take a deep breath.

"I like you! Please be my girlfriend!"
