We all stood there in silence. No one wants to ask her any questions as Lana cried. It wasn’t long before Yang came up from her fight with the Golems… only in a different state. She looked at us with a quick glance before setting her eyes on Father, which she dashed forwards and pounced on him, peppering him with kisses. I only saw her do this when she was in her feral state… wait was she?

“Maybe she got a bit too excited when fighting the Manticore?” Ruby asked me, which I shrugged. Father nevertheless returned the affection, passionately kissing her into submission. When he pulled away, Yang was gasping for her breath happily. When he was finished Yang was sitting beside him as she nuzzled his leg happily, which made Rockmond shake his head.

“So… can anyone tell me who this Rockwell guy is?” Rose asked, looking at Rockmond. “Brother of yours?” Rockmond frowned at this before shook his head before saying.

“No. Rockwell was Lana’s closest friend, they both woke near one another in the island and have been together for a long time.” Rockmond said, informing us this Rockwell guy. “Guy had a passion for exploration and so did Lana.” He said. Rose didn’t say anything before looking at Lana.

“So, she was close friends with this guy. What happened?” Rose asked. Lana had calmed down by this point and looked up at Rose.

“He ascended off onto the next Ark… without me.” Lana said in a solemn tone. “He left me stranded on the Ark by myself.” She said. Rose looked at her before removing her helmet and we all saw that she wasn’t happy.

“Okay, if you have to ask me, that guy did a dick move.” Rose said. Lana looked over at her as Rose continue. “I’ve been with many teams in the past, and there’s one thing I learned over that time: Never, ever leave someone behind. Did he have a good reason for leaving you on this island?”

“He left a note that said someone had to stay behind at the Island.” Lana said angrily, the memory obviously not a good one.

“And… that’s it? Just ‘Hey, we’re going to head off to someplace else and you have to stick around on this island!’ if that was me I would’ve followed him and kicked his ass.” Rose said with her arms crossed.

“Thank you.” Was all Lana said to Rose, a sad smile forming as she spoke. Rose looked at her in surprise.

“Uhh, what? I was dissing this Rockwell guy but you’re thanking me?” Rose said, not sure how to take this. Lana nodded with a chuckle.

“Can’t you just take simply thank you without questioning it?” Lana asked jokingly.

“Uhh, okay… I think.” Rose said with a bit of uncertainty. Lana shook her head as I spoke.

“So...what now?” I asked out loud. Father looked at me and smiled.

“Now we return home but not before picking up the younglings.” Father said and with a snap of his fingers, we were back at the camp safe sound and Rex was next to their feeding trough already. Everyone looked around surprised until we heard the sounds of Kadia and Strun running over to us.

“Mommy!” the both yelled, making Yang happily run over to them and curl around them, giving them some licks that made them laugh.

“Mommy you’re acting weird.” Kaida giggled as Yang nuzzled her. Father chuckled at this as Yang did this.

“Mommy is just happy to see you two.” Father said with a smile before looking at me and saying. “I will you give you time to pack your things and say your goodbyes.”

I nodded and looked over at Rose. “What are you going to do?”

“Hmm.” Rose said as she tilted her head a bit. “My ship is trashed so I can’t really go anywhere so…” she looked over at Father. “Mind if I hitch a ride?” Father chuckled before nodding and saying.

“I don’t see why not.” Father said to her. Rose smiled before looking over at Lana and the others. She tossed them a device that Lana grabbed and looked at.

“It’s a modified communicator.” Rose explained to them before adding. “If you ever need help just give me a shout.” Lana nodded at this with a smile. I went over to her and gave her a hug.

“Hope to see you again.” I told her with a smile. Lana hugged back with a sad smile.

“I’ll miss you all.” She said, pulling away and looking at the rest. I gave her a small squeeze before I pulled away. I gave the twins a hug as well to the others before walking over to Ruby and the others as we headed off to pack.

When we were ready I came out with my pack and saw Yang giving her kids a ride on her back as the others waited. I walked over to them as Yang stopped and looked over at me. I smiled at her as her kids climbed off of her and Yang watched them before blinking a few times.

“Whoa… what happened?” she asked, now coming to her senses. Father heard this and looked at her.

“During your battle you became feral, only this time it was not as bad.” Father said, helping Yang up to her feet.

“Oh…” Yang said as her kids ran up to her.

“You were funny.” Kaida said as Strun nodded. She smiled at the two of them as she looked at all of us.

“So...what now?” Yang asked as she saw all of us ready to leave. “Oh.” Father chuckled at this before saying.

“I’ve made sure to pack up everything of yours, love.” He said to Yang, showing her the bag she came here with. Yang took it with a smile and to say thanks she gave him a kiss on the cheek. Strun and Kaida soon ran up to them, wondering what’s happening. Yang looked down at the two of them before speaking.

“You two want to go see the school I go to?” Yang asked. The two of them smiled happily and nodded at their mother.

“Before we go Yang, I must tell you this. Once we walk through the way home, your age will be as if you never left.” Father said to her before adding. “I ask you this, do you choose to stay at this age or become young again?” He asked. Yang stared at him before speaking.

“Do I stay as a half-Dovah?” she asked Father.

“Yes but you will have to redo the transformation.” Father answered with a nod.

“So… that moment of me going all feral like that lead to… you know what, I have to relive that?” Yang asked. He nodded once again before saying.

“Yes I’m afraid.” He said. Both Strun and Kaida watched them as they conversed, not knowing what was going on. Before long Yang simply nodded.

“Well, I guess I have to live all that…” she then gave Father a stern look. “Just don’t leave me alone like next time. When I go wild, I want you there to help me.”

“Of course, love.” Father said before he looked over at an empty spot before summoning the portal. He then motioned for us to go through though Yang stayed behind with him and the kids.

We all walked through the portal which lead us back into the gathering hall of Forever Free. The odd difference was there was no one around at the moment. Ruby, Rose and I stood around as we waited for the others to come through. Father came through with Strun on his shoulder before Yang walked through carrying Kaida in her arms. Yang now looked at herself, her younger self without the tail, wings, and only a little bit of scales and her eyes were normal. Both kids looked at their mother in shocked as Yang pouted.

“And I just got my wings…” she grumbled. The kids looked at her with confusion and awe at their younger mother I heard footsteps coming from behind me. I turned to see Indigo and Blake walking towards us before noticing us.

“There you all are.” Blake said with a frown. “Where have you all been?”

“Dah, what?” I asked, confused at what she meant.

“You all just suddenly disappeared and not only skipped a few classes…” Indigo said, bringing more confusion to me. “You also missed the talent show.” He said. Ruby, Yang and I stared at Indigo before looking at Father for an explanation, only to see him shrug.

“I suppose I misjudged the time just a bit.” He said simply. We all stared at him before I noticed Strun and Kaida looked up at Indigo and Blake.

“Ca-cat woman!” Strun said.

“This man has one arm like mommy!” Kaida said with a smile. Both Indigo and Blake looked down at the two kids in confusion.

“Uhh, who’re they?” Indigo asked, breaking the silence as he looked up at us. Yang blushed a bit before rubbing her head.

“Well… they’re… my kids…” Yang said sheepishly. Indigo closed his eyes and took a deep breath, gaining an odd look from Blake.

“You know what, I’m too tired for this but I expect to hear about it tomorrow.” Indigo said before turning around and walking off, leaving Blake with us. Blake looked at us then at him, then at us before speaking.

“What?!”

Back on the Ark with Lana, a week has pass since Viri and her family and friends left, things been kinda smooth lately. With her new found information Lana didn’t have a good time sleeping. She stays up all night thinking on what she saw in her vision. The image of her old friend in such a state, it both angers her and saddens her. It wasn’t until one day that something odd happen.

Lana came out of her tent to see Rockmond help push a large odd rock to Lana.

“What’s this?” Lana asked, looking at the rock that was brought to her.

“Don’t know. It just came down from the sky like that ship Rose had.” Ed said.

“You mean the one we turn into scrap?” one of the twins said.

“Well… she’s not using it…” Ed said badly. Lana shook her head as she looked closer at the rock, seeing a odd pattern on it.

“What’s on it?” Lana asked.

“Help.” Heaven answered.

“Over and over again.” Nevaeh added. “It’s covered with that word, help over and over again. It literally says ‘HelpHelpHelpHelpHelpHelpHelpHelpHelpHelpHelpHelpHelpHelpHelpHelpHelpHelp…’ and so on and so forth.”

Lana frowned at this as she looked at the large rock. She then reached out to touched the rock before gasping as her fingers touched it. A feeling washed over her as she did. A scared feeling that wasn’t one of her own. She also knew where this rock came from, the same Ark that she saw Rockwell on.

“Lana! Are you okay?!” Rockmond asked, trying to help her up. She grasped her head once she was up and shook her head. A look of seriousness replacing the pained expression she had.

“We need to get to the other Ark.” Was all She said to them.

Back at Forever Free

A day has passed as we returned to the school… and after getting scolded by the teachers for missing classes. That night me and Ruby ran to find Qo and spent the rest of the night with her, too which she was completely confused about as she only saw us the other day which for us was many many years. Though this morning she was happy that there was two other kids she can play with, which Kaida and Strun where happy to be and was mystified at, and using their words here, so many animal people are around.

That day we explained to Indigo, Weiss, and Blake what happened during out task with Lana. Indigo and Blake slowly nodded at what we were saying before we got to the wedding part of the story.

“So you are actually a thing now, like a married couple?” Indigo asked a little confused. Yang nodded.

“Yup.” She said as she showed off her ring that Father made her. “Got the ring and everything.” Blake looked at the ring and congratulated the two, happy to see Yang having found love.

“You had a wedding… in the desert… Why in the desert?” Indigo asked, bewildered that Yang and Father held their wedding in the Ark.

“More importantly, I missed it!” Weiss cried as she was visibly upset by this.

“You wanted… to see my wedding?” Yang asked.

“Well of course, is that a issue?” Weiss asked with a frown. Yang chuckled before I leaned towards Weiss.

“I got pictures.” I told her as I held up my scroll.

“Really?! Gimme!” she said before snatching my scroll before going through the pictures on it.

“And yes Indigo, we had it in the desert since, I don’t know, there weren’t any real forested area there.” Yang pointed out as Weiss and now Blake looked through the photos.

“Sorry, didn’t mean to sound rude just… your now husband as literal god with the ability to do literally anything.” Indigo said, gaining a raised brow from Father who sat beside Yang in his younger form.

“I understand what you mean Mister Parker but Yang insisted we held the wedding there.” Father said, giving Indigo the reason why it was held out in the desert.

“Oh, my Oum!” Weiss said in shock as well surprising Blake before turning the scroll to Yang. “That’s you!?!”

We all looked and sure enough it was an picture of Yang, in the state of having scales, small horns, and a tale as well having a pregnant belly standing in beside Father smiling happily. Indigo moved a bit to see as Yang nodded.

“Yeah, that’s me…” Yang sighed and slumped down. “It’s going to be a long time before I get my tail and wings back…”

“Question… how?” Blake asked as she looked the image. “You look like a Faunus in this image.” Indigo heard this and looked over to the scroll that Blake now held.

“She’s not kidding… this is you?” Indigo asked, confused as to what he saw in the image.

“Yeah that’s me, albeit a bit older and…” she pulled a her shirt down her shoulder to show some of the scales coming in. “Going to look like.”

“You miss the wings and tail.” I commented.

“I do…” Yang cried a bit at this fact. Father chuckled at this as he pulled Yang closer.

“Perhaps what I am about to say will help. I’ve accelerated your transformation and it will no longer take five years to grow out your tail and wings.” Father said with a little smile. “It will only take a year now, though that means your heat cycle would begin soon.” He added before kissing her just above her right eye.

“Aww, you shouldn’t have…” Yang said before grimacing at the idea of going through her Heat sooner. Blake shuttered a bit.

“Ugh, don’t get me started on heat cycles.” Blake groaned as she put her head on the table. Indigo suppressed a chuckle after seeing this but it wasn’t enough and earned him a glare from Blake. “Don’t you start buster.”

“Sorry.” Indigo quickly said, raising his hands up in defense. Everyone laughed or chuckled as I noticed Weiss was still going through the Wedding photos.

“You know we’re going to have another one here.” Yang told Weiss, who quickly looked up at the blonde at this.

“Really!” Weiss said, a smile forming on her face.

“Yup, you didn’t think I would have you all miss my big day?” Yang asked with a chuckle. Weiss seemed to get really excited at this as she had a huge smile.

“So, changing topics here, who won the talent show?” I asked. Blake rolled her eyes at my question.

“Who do you think?” The cat Faunus asked before pointing at Weiss, who’s happy smile turned into a proud smirk.

“As if there was any doubt otherwise.” Indigo added with a roll of his eyes, smiling as he did this. We turned to the sound of the library doors opening, seeing Tak walk in with a few books in hand. Weiss’ smile came back as she stood up and ran up to him, making us chuckle at the sight of the skipping Ice Queen.

“Tak!” She exclaimed happily, surprising the bat faunus briefly before he smiled recognizing her voice.

“Hey Weiss, sorry I’m late.” He said with an apologetic smile as he gestured at the books in hand. “Some of the professors wanted me to return a few of the books they borrowed.” He said.

“Oh that’s fine, I was talking to some of our friends.” she said happily. She gave him a kiss on the cheek, earning a blush from the young bat faunus before taking hold of some of the books he carried to help. Weiss then guided Tak back to us and placed the books on the table.

“So what did I miss?” Tak asked, pulling the chair out for Weiss. The latter giggled happily like a schoolgirl as she sat down.

“Whoa…” Both Kaida and Strun said when Tak came into sight. This made Tak look in the direction of the twins. “You’re Batman!” Kaida said with enthusiasm.
“What?” Tak said in confusion as he sat down next to Weiss. Yang laughs as she leans over and picked up the young half-Dovah girl. Strun ran over to Father.

“Don’t mind her, Kaida just new to seeing Faunus.” Yang explained. She looked down at Kaida. “Say hello to him, sweetie.”

“Hello!” Kaida greeted happily. Tak waved at the little one, a little confused as to what’s going on.

“The one who called you Batman is Yang’s daughter.” I explained to him.

“Oh… what!?” Tak yelled before covering his mouth, grimacing at the fact that he yelled in a library.

“I have kids.” Yang said with a chuckle. Tak quickly calmed down with the help of Weiss before he faced Yang.

“What? How? When?” He asked all this to Yang, unbeknownst to him that he faced both Yang and Father. Tak then turned to face the rest of us. “What exactly did I miss?” He asked us. The next few minutes was spent bringing Tak up to speed and during that time, we had noticed certain cat faunus child listening in on our conversations. When Indigo and Blake noticed, they invited her to sit with them and to my surprise, Iilah smiled and quickly accepted the offer and squeezing in between them. I smiled at this as I finished explaining. Tak spent a few moments to process everything he just heard.

“Wow that’s… that’s insane.” Tak said mostly to himself before facing Father and Yang. “Congratulations to you both for finding happiness in each other… and congratulations for having children.” Tak said in a formal manner, bowing his after speaking. “Just wish I could’ve been there for the wedding.” Tak added with a quiet chuckle.

“Thanks Tak.” Yang said as she played with Kaida who was giggling as she did. As she did this she looked at Tak and pointed.

“Mister Tak has white eyes.” Kaida said, gaining Yang’s surprised attention. Tak faced the child and smiled a little before saying.

“My eyes are… different, I can’t see like you do.” Tak answered with a smile. Gaining a gasp from Kaida and an interested look from Strun.

“But… how do you see then?” Kaida asked. Strun was also interested in this as well.

“Because of my eyes, I can hear more and smell more than anyone in this room.” He said to the two young ones, touching his bat ears and nose as he spoke.

“Whoa~.” They both said. This made Tak chuckle before looking at me.

“They sound a lot like your kid.” Tak commented with a chuckle. This brought a chuckle from both Yang and Father. The latter facing me and saying.

“Where is young Qo?” Father asked curiously. I didn’t know where Qo was but before I could answer that Iilah spoke.

“She’s two ailes down in here, and these are her words, ‘her fort of books of stuff.’ She been there since this morning.” Iilah said. Father raised a curious brow at this before smirking and saying.

“Then perhaps she doesn’t want the present I’ve brought back for her.” He said with a smirk before chuckling. There was some sounds nearby before Qo came running in.

“Present?!” she asked with a gleeful smile. Iilah blinked before looking back at the bookcases.

“Did all those books fell?!” Iilah asked a bit angry. Qo shook her head before staring at Father. Father chuckled once again before motioning for Qo to come closer. Once she was close, Father had something covered in his hands, whatever it was must’ve been small to fit in his hand.

“Keep a hand out, dear.” Father said to Qo. She did just that and allowed Father to hand her the gift. Staring at Qo was a very tiny blue wyvern, tilting its head at her curiosity. It opened up its wings, stretching as sparks of electricity coursed through its body. When it closed its wings it laid down on Qo’s hand, still looking at her with curious eyes. Qo stared at the wyvern before it flicked it’s tongue at her, licking her nose. Qo giggled at this before looking at Father.

“Thank you Bormahsebormah.” Qo said with a smile. [Grandfather.] Yang smiled at the gift given to Qo by her husband and kissed him in the cheek, prompting Father to do the same before finally sharing a short passionate kiss. Qo saw this and tilted her head in confusion. “Why do you two do that?”

Yang pulled away from Father and look at Qo. “What do you mean?”

“You two, kissing, why are you two doing that?” Qo asked as the little wyvern climbed up onto Qo’s head before nesting into her hair. Yang and Father looked to me and Ruby, both of them with an arched brow.

“Did you tell Qo about Yang and Sanns?” Ruby whisper to me. I frowned as I tried to remember before groaning a bit.

“I forgot…” I whisper back before waving Qo over to me. When she was close I picked her up one put her on my knee. “Qo, you do know that Grandfather and Yang really care about each other right?”

“Yeah…” Qo said, looking at me innocently.

“Well, you see the two of them love each other so much that they went and got married.” I explained. Qo blinked at this before looking at the two of them for a moment.

“Did I miss it?” she asked, earning a chuckle from Father.

“Kinda, but they are going to do a redo with all of us there.” I told her. Qo slowly nodded before tilting her head as she pointed at Yang.

“Does that make her my Monahsemonah?” Qo asked. [Grandmother.] I blinked at this before looking at Yang and Father, which Yang looked kinda confused as she looked at Father.

“It means grandmother.” Father translated the word for Yang. Yang blinked at this before looking at me. The two of us soon came to the same thought and the both of us look like we were going to panic.

“Close friends, right we’re going with that?” Yang asked.

“Yeah, yeah we’re going to say, close friends.” I answered as Qo jumped off of my knee and ran over to Yang.

“Monahsemonah?” Qo asked Yang. Yang chuckled a bit before speaking.

“Let’s… go with Yang, Qo.” she said before giving Qo a hug. Qo accepted the hug with a smile. Father smiled at this before joining in the hug. I smiled at that before realizing something.

“Ah… we have to go tell Axycia about this…” I said.

“Tell me what?” a voice said. We all turned to see my aunt there with two of her kids, though looking a little older now. I believe their names were Divos and Ailis.

“Speak of the devil.” Weiss said, which Axycia looked over at her.

“I’m no devil, but in some eyes I am.” she said with a smirk before seeing Yang and Father. “Well don’t you two look all cozy together.” Father smiled once more at the sight of his sister.

“Ah sister, I was beginning to think you would not show.” Father said to her, knowing that she would’ve shown up eventually. My aunt smiled at him.

“Well I’ve been busy…” she stopped and chuckled. “Looks like you’re the one with more time than me.” she looks down at the two before clearing her throat. “You two think you want to say hi to your uncle?”

“Hi Uncle.” Divos and Ailis greeted at the same time, Ailis frowning and blowing some white hair up from her face before smiling at him.

“Don’t forget to greet your Auntie.” Father said, pulling Yang closer to him much to the latter’s enjoyment. The two kids blinked at this before looking at Axycia who blinked at this as well before noticing the rings on Father’s and Yang’s ring fingers.

“Oh… ohh~.” she said before frowning. “Oh.”

“You okay?” Divos asked his mother.

“No, I missed my siblings wedding.” she answered before looking at Father with a cocked hip. “You didn’t think of sending me an invite?” Father laughed at this a little before finally saying.

“We will be holding a much longer ceremony here upon Yang and Viri’s request.” Father said to her. He then looked as if he remembered something and said. “Oh yes I nearly forgot, there is something I must inform you in private.”

Axycia raised an eyebrow at him before nodding as she glanced at the two older kids. “I’ll be back in a bit so in the meantime…” she reached over and pulled both of their ears, making them wince a bit. “Be nice.”

When she finished she let them go and the both Father and my Aunt walked off together. Divos and Ailis rubbed their ears.

“So… guess that make you two my niece and nephew.” Yang said with a smile.

“Yeah… you can say that.” Divos said as he finished rubbing his ear. I looked at the two of them for a bit and saw the differences than the time I saw them last. Divos seemed more taller then the two but was more slim. His black scales were seen around his neck and arms that were uncovered. His horns grown to curl downwards alongside his head while another pair went upwards. Ailis was more the opposite to her brother, she had white and gray scales and more tone build. She just seemed stronger than her brother as she didn’t have horns but a tail that was a bit slender to her body.

Ailis looked at Yang for a moment but didn’t say anything. Yang frowned at her. “You have a problem with it?”

“Me? No, I don’t really know you so I don’t have anything to say about it.” Ailis answered Yang, earning a frown from Divos.

“Can you be a bit nicer to the family?” He asked her.

“I will when I want to.” Ailis answered him. The two frown at each other for a few moments.

“That’s not nice.” Tak said with a frown, hearing their short conversation.

“Oh honey, if you don’t want to hear not nice you should’ve been there when we had our last fight.” Ailis said sweetly. Tak blinked at this, not knowing what to say.

“Sometimes I can’t believe you’re my sister.” Divos said with a sigh.

“Oh you love me.” Ailis said with a smile. Divos simply rolled his eyes. As they were talking both Kaida and Strun looked at the two of them, gaining the attention of both siblings. Ailis expression to surprise. “Whoa… never thought I would see a half-Dovah kid.”

“Sometimes you can, just look in the mirror.” Divos pointed out, which Ailis ignored him as she kneeled down.

“Hi there. What’re your names?” Ailis asked the twins.

“I’m Kaida.” Kaida introduced herself. “And this is my twin brother Strun.”

“H-hi.” Strun stuttered. Ailis smiled at them as Divos found a chair and sat down. Soon Ailis was playing with the twins happily as Divos… was asleep. Father and Aunty Axycia soon came back from their talk, Aunty looking excited at whatever Father told her. She looked over at Divos before shaking her head. She nudged the chair a bit which cause Divos to snort and awaken.

“I’m up, I’m up!” he yelled, making Iilah groan.

“This is not like a library, where you have to be quiet…” she muttered to herself loud enough for everyone to hear.

“Stayed up all night again?” Axycia asked him. Divos hung his head a bit which made his mother groan. “This is the third night, you need to take better care of yourself.”

“Sorry mom.” Divos said. Axycia raised an eyebrow before saying.

“Well since you need to get some sleep at night I’ll have you go stack the books back at the store…” she lowered her head a bit. “The big books.”

Divos frowned at this but didn’t say anything to his mother. Axycia looked at her brother and smiled happily.

“Thank you… this… this means the world to me.” she said. Father smiled at this before briefly hugging his sister.

“Anything for family.” Was all Father said as he pulled back from the hug. My aunt smiled before turning to the others.

“I thank you all for your time, but we have to get going. My set of Twins are little mommy kids and get really upset when I’m gone for a long time.” she looked at her two kids. “Come on you two.”

“Aww, but I want a few more minutes with these two…” Ailis said as Strun was playing pattycake with her as Kaida was playing with Ailis’ tail. Axycia arched a brow at her.

“You want to clean the beast pit again?” she asked. Ailis stared at her mother before saying.

“Sorry have to go, see you next time.” she said quickly as she stood up.

“Awww…” The twins said in unison. With that the three of them headed out, leaving us to ourselves.

In the silence after Father sat back down beside Yang I spoke. “So… Weiss, what did you win from the talent competition?”

“Huh? Oh, well as it seems that Headmistress Zecora is going off to this place called Canterlot to join this Gala thing that happens at the end of the month.” she explains which Iilah groans a bit.

“I forgot about that~” she groans. Indigo and Blake looked down at the young librarian with raised brows.

“What’s up, don’t like the place?” Indigo asked her curiously.

“No…” Iilah started before crossing her arms. “The full name of this event is the Grand Galloping Gala, an annual event that’s held at Canterlot to, ‘Celebrate the founding of Equestria’ but that’s far from the truth.”

“Mind telling us then?” Blake asked this time. Iilah shrugged.

“It’s really a place that all High End nobles go to to boast about how much money they have or what grand thing they want to talk about or, and this is most of the time, go suck up to the princess to win some favors from her.” Iilah said with a frown. “The nobles there are worse than the Grimm if you ask me.”

“I know that feeling.” Weiss said with a sigh. “But if that’s the case, why did the Princess call on Headmistress Zecora to come?”

“If I know Celestia, which is not a lot since she changed over the many years, is that she used to be very crafty, she finds a way to make that event more… interesting.” Iilah raised an eyebrow. “Bringing a Faunus that runs a Huntsman academy out in the Everfree is one big curve ball in any nobles plans since Faunus are either not allowed to go in or are simply servants.”

“That’s awful.” Ruby said with a sad look. Iilah nodded a bit.

“Well… Zecora asked me if there’s anyone I would like to come I would tell her…” Weiss looked at all of us. “So… anyone wants to come?”

We all sat there in silence as we looked at each other before finally, Yang spoke. “I would.”

“You do?” I asked her, kinda surprised at her answer.

“Honestly, I don’t like the idea of this whole thing, but if I can show up any of these nobles up then I call that as a great night.” Yang said before leaning against Father. “Besides, I have the perfect date.” Father chuckled at that.

“Sure, I’ll go. It’ll give me an excuse to use that new tux I got a few weeks ago.” Indigo said before looking at Blake. The latter sighed before saying.

“Well… I guess I could go…” Blake said as she glanced over at Indigo. “Just make sure you make it up to me.” With a nod, Indigo chuckled and said.

“I will, babe.” Indigo said before both of them looked down at Iilah. “What about you, Iilah?”

“Ha! Heck no. You’ll never get me to go there.” she said with a laugh. “I’m happy here thank you. It’s more interesting than that snore fest.” With a suppressed laugh and a nod, Indigo accepted the answer as well as Blake.

“Alright then, anyone else?” Weiss asked before glancing at Tak. Whether he noticed her staring or not, he nodded after a few moments of thought. “You… want to come?” Weiss asked him with a bit of surprise in her voice.

“Yeah… is- is that bad?” Tak asked a little nervous from the question. Weiss stared at Tak, giving him a warm smile before giving him a kiss on the cheek.

“No… Just happy to hear that.” she said with a smile. Tak blushed at the affection as a smile slowly formed.

“And you two?” Indigo asked both me and Ruby. I looked over at Ruby for a moment before I spoke.

“Do you want to go?” I asked her.

“Well… the last time we went to some kind of party it was the dance and… well look how that turned out…” Ruby then smiled as she nudge me. “But in a sense, you own me a dance.”

I smiled at her before kissing her cheek. “Alright, I need to fix up my dress before then and-”

“Most of us… do.” Weiss said, almost making all of us remember what happened at the dance.

“My husband is a god, I’m simply going to beg him for a dress.” Yang said shamelessly. Father rolled his eyes and chuckled before both of them heard the loud yawns of Kaida and Strun.

“Looks like you two need a nap.” Father said to the two young half dovah’s. Father then stood up and walked up to the two before picking them up without a problem. Yang stood up and went over to him. Yang took one of the kids before looking over at the others, her expression took on a more motherly look.

“See you all tomorrow.” she said softly. Everyone whispered there goodbyes to the couple before they left, leaving us to our own devices. Weiss and Tak went off to talk for a bit while Blake asked Indigo for help on something and insisted that it was a private matter. Ruby needed to finish some homework so she gave me a kiss and left me with Qo, well kinda. I didn’t see Qo at first but I went over and found her in her book fort reading a book. I smiled at her and asked her if I could come and read what she has.

The rest of the day and most of the night was just the two of us in a book fort reading as time drift away.

Author's Notes:

Man, Rockwell is an ass. Just wanted to say that.

On to the Gala!
