It wasn’t long before the end of the month came around. One the most surprising parts of the month was these odd tests each professor gave us. And what I mean by us I mean only me and Team RWBY. After finishing them and a few days later we were told that these tests were, by both Headmistress Zecora and Indigo say on it, were the final tests we will take and we were to graduate. So the most logical sense of what we do when we heard that was to party. We did and kinda forgot what happened that night. And with how I woke up the next day I really didn’t want to know how… something to do with pickles.

Anyway I was at my room on the night of the Gala seeing if I still fit in the dress Mother gave me. It was ripped up from the dance all those months ago so I tried to do some repairs on it, making it more of a fancy short dress. As I put it on and saw it in the mirror I frowned at how it looked; the bottom half was sewn together by a different colour thread and it was all missmatched as the top part was turned to a odd wrapping look. I simply look like some little girl trying to make a dress with what she had.

“I can reconstruct weapons, robots, and anything tech base to the smallest degree and hack into a high grade computer but I can’t for the life of me fix a simple dress.” I muttered to myself. A chuckle brought my attention back to my bed and was greeted with Father sitting while chuckling.

“You could’ve asked me to fix the dress.” Father said with a raised brow. I looked at him for a moment before sighing, starting to take it off.

“It just… bugs me that I can’t fix it like I could fix other things.” I said as I pulled the dress over my head, leaving me in my underwear. “Like, how is fixing a dress so, flipping, hard!”

“You cannot excel at everything, dear.” Father said with a roll of his eyes as he snapped his fingers. I watched the dress as it slowly seemed to unravel in my hands before reforming in a different look. Instead of the fiery red and orange dress I had, it was a silvery blue dress that felt more silk like. I took it and put it up to my body as I looked at myself in the mirror.

“Wow…” was all I could say. I turned back to Father with a smile. “Thank you.”

“I’ve also taken the liberty to make it harder for the dress to tear.” Father said informing me of what he did to the dress. I smiled at him for this, feeling like at some point I was going to put it into danger.

“Thanks again.” I said as I tried it on. I gave myself a moment to look at myself in the mirror before doing a little spin. “So, how do I look?”

“Beautiful, Viri, absolutely stunning.” Father answered with a brighter smile than before. I smiled at him before I went over and gave him a hug. Father returned the hug in kind before pulling away after a minute or two.

“I guess you went around giving the others their suits and dresses?” I asked him, wondering what they asked for, mostly Yangs.

“Fixing really, though Yang was the only one that requested a new dress.” Father said with a chuckle.

“Oh? Can I ask what she asked for?” I asked him with a smirk. Father looked at me and said.

“The dress is a bit… revealing.” Father said with yet another chuckle. “I’m afraid I’ll leave it at that.”

“Oh boy.” was all I could say. I wanted to say a joke about to be careful with the others that try to hit on Yang but… the memory of the moment in the desert stopped me. The two of us sat there in silence before I sighed. “Hey… I… I’m sorry about… you know, back in the desert with Yang going feral. I didn’t mean for it to sound rude or…” I hung my head a bit, feeling awful of saying such words. Father placed a hand on my shoulder, resulting in me looking up at him and seeing his calming smile.

“It’s alright, Viri. I know you didn’t mean anything bad by it.” Father said to me. I smiled a little at this. I looked away from him before seeing the time.

“Oh shoot, it’s almost time.” I said as I got up and went to find my other clothes. I looked back at Father and continued. “It seems Yang and Weiss agreed that all of us ladys should spend some time at the spa to… freshen up a bit. Yang said that she would talk to you about having help get us ready for the gala or something.” Father nodded before saying.

“Yes, she has requested me to get a professional masseuse for you all and a professional in make-up.” Father informed me, I couldn’t help but stare at him with wide eyes.

“I’m… going to have makeup on…” I said as if it’s a foreign phrase to me. This made Father laugh a bit.

“Oh it’s not as bad as you might think, it’s mere just a simple touch up.” Father said between chuckles. I stared at him as I changed to my normal clothes.

“Thanks for that… I think? By the way how’s Yang?” I asked him. This brought a happy smile to his face.

“Her change is coming along nicely, her scales have reappeared and now her eyes are that of a Dovahs’.” Father said before chuckling and saying. “The kids are ecstatic to have their dragon mommy back.”

I laughed a bit at him. “That’s nice… but is she going through the mood swings again?” I asked.

“Yes but it isn’t as severe as before, Yang has already gone through this before and knows what to expect.” Father said before making a small vial appear in his hand. “And with the help of the Headmistress, Yang has been drinking this elixir that help her through these mood swings.” He said before the vial vanished.

“That’s good… but will happen when her heat week kicks in” I asked as I found my towel. “Is it another elixir like the ones I use?” the elixir was from Zecora as well, it said it should mild out my heat when it comes around. So far I’ve haven’t had any problems of it as of late. Father shook his head before chuckling as he said.

“We’ve been… handling that ourselves while the children are off playing with little Qo.” He said, smirking as he did. I shiverer a bit at this, not wanting to know that.

“Right… well I better get going to meet up with everyone else. See you tonight.” I told Father. With a smile and nod I headed through the door to the spa as I went to take this treatment. For what was two hours that felt like days I went through a refreshing massage and relaxing session by some Dovah and Half-Dovah. After the long sessions I got into the hot water spa to relax some more.

It wasn’t long until I saw Weiss come in with only a towel on. She stopped when she saw me and blushed.

“O-oh geez.” she said before looking away. I rolled my eyes before speaking.

“Haven’t seen a naked woman before?” I asked. She flustered a bit.

“I didn’t know we were all going to be in the same pool…” she said. I shrugged as I offered to move away to which she shook her head. “I’m...fine. I just have to get used to it.” With that she stepped into the water. She slowly went in the water with a sigh as she did. “Oh yeah, this feels good~.”

I chuckled as the two of us relaxed until Ruby and Blake came in. The four of us talked for a bit about school, the gala and other things. It seems that Weiss, as of winning the talent show, is going to sing at the gala as well. I told her that I’ll look forward to it since I haven’t heard her sing as of yet. Weiss smiled at me and continued chatting until we saw Yang coming out. We also saw her changes in full view.

Like Father has said her scales are coming in but it looks like they came more faster than the first time. For instance the scales went down her forearms and sides of her body that went down to her thigh. From what I could see the scales curl around her chest a bit and up her neck towards her face. Which I saw her eyes were the same Dovah look from before as she smiled at us.

“Wow Yang… didn’t think the changes would go this quickly.” Weiss said as the the voluptuous blonde came into the water.

“Yeah, have to say I look good with them.” Yang said with a smirk. As she did I saw fangs. Over all the five of us talked some more and relaxed before Ruby spoke up.

“Hey… do you guys miss home?” Ruby asked mostly to the other three than me. They looked at each other before answering.

“Kinda…” Weiss said while Yang and Blake nodded.

“I miss my family.” Blake said as she lowered herself down into the water.

“Yeah, these memories of home… visions or whatever, does give me some home sickness. Even though we are all still there and… never mind.” Yang said. The four of them went silent after this as I looked at them. I didn’t really have anything to say at this so I simply kept quite. I wished Mother was here to speak like she always do, she knows what to say.

“Now what has gotten you all so down?” A familiar brought attention back to the door, seeing Mother walk with a smile. Most of us blushed at the sight, seeing Mother fully naked without a towel while Yang smirked at the sight. Mother had always projected her form to have the body that women would die for but for Yang, it is the body of a goddess… her goddess. Mother walked up to the water before climbing in, sitting next Yang once she was in the water. “Now, tell Mother what has gotten you all so down.” She said in a motherly manner. Everyone looked at each other for a moment.

“Just… thinking about home.” Blake answered.

“And a little homesick.” Weiss added. Mother looked at them sadly before glancing at Yang.

“And what about you, love?” Mother asked Yang. Yang didn’t say anything at first for the next minute.

“I’m not going to lie… I do feel a little homesick. I miss my dad and uncle...,” Yang started to say before leaning against Mother. “But here? I believe our lives were changed for the better.”” Mother quickly thought on this before saying.

“Perhaps I can make some arrangements.” Mother said to all of them. They all looked at one another in silence.

“Explain.” I said as I raised my head up from the water. The rest of them nodded as they wanted Mother to explain. Mother glanced at me before a brief flash of light blinded everyone in the room. When we regained our sight, I was the first to see that Blake, Weiss, Ruby and Yang wore a necklace with different colored gems. Blake’s was an Onyx, Weiss’s was a sapphire, Ruby’s was well… a ruby, and Yang was an an odd gem, its color was similar to that of a burning sun.

“I’ve design these necklaces to allow you all to return to Remnant without fusing into your other selves.” Mother said, informing everyone of the properties of the necklace. Everyone stared at Mother and at the necklaces.

“These… will send us home?” Blake asked. Mother nodded before smiling and saying.

“Yes and it will also prevent you from fusing with your other selves.” Mother said, answering Blake’s question. Everyone was shocked at this before Yang gave Mother a big hug.

“Sometimes I’m surprised at how amazing you are.” Yang said with a big smile. Mother giggled at this before returning the affection.

“Anything for family and friends.” She said, pulling away from the hug. “And I believe the little ones would like to see their grandfather.” She said. Yang smiled a bit before looking at Ruby with wide eyes.

“Oh man, Dad’s going to flip when he finds out…” Yang said. Ruby gasped at this.

“What would Uncle Qrow think?!” Ruby asked. Yang shrugged.

“Don’t know… maybe the shock will get him to stop drinking.” Yang said, earning a laugh from Ruby. This caused the rest of us to laugh as well. Mother smiled, having improved everyone’s mood before she stood up from the water.

“Hey~ where are you going?” Yang asked, sounding like a little whine when she asked. Mother chuckled before looking back at her.

“It’s nearly time for the Gala and I’d like to see the kids before we leave.” Mother said, walking off up to the door to leave before looking back at Yang. “Care to join me?” She asked. She didn’t need to asked twice as Yang almost sprang out of the water and headed over to her happily. Before we knew it they vanished in a flash of golden light.

The four of us giggled a bit as we relaxed for some time before we had to get out. It was about time we went to go get ready for the Gala. I wasn’t really thrilled with others doing my hair and makeup. The whole makeup thing was kinda off-putting for me. It took them half-an-hour to finish and got me into the dress. I was really happy that I didn’t have to go to the Gala in high heels, only fancy slippers.

When they were done I was left in the room in the dress. The blue eyeshadow and other makeup made me look less dirty than I was used to. It was like I was looking at someone else entirely. I looked at the door as a set of knocks caught my attention. I turned around and opened the door to see Father there. He stepped into view as he wore a long black coat with some gold buckles and a dark red shoulder piece on his right shoulder. He had white gloves and some dark red and brown boots on and a cape behind him.

“Hello dear, I’m just checking to see how things are coming along.” He said before getting a good look at me before smiling. “My, don’t you just look stunning.” He said. I blushed at his words as I smiled.

“Thank you…” I said as I looked back at the mirror. My smile became somber as I spoke. “Can… can I ask you a question?” Father’s smile vanished at this before saying.

“Is something wrong?” He asked me. I shook my head at this.

“No it’s… something I never really asked you before now…” I told him. I looked at the mirror for a moment before asking the question. “When you found me, when I was little, what was going through your mind?” He looked at me for minute or two, making me nervous that I might’ve screwed up until Father let out a sigh.

“When I found you all those years ago, many things went through my mind. Questions without answers such as why would anyone treat a little one so harshly for what she is?” Father said, looking at me as he spoke. He looked off to the mirror, seeing us in the reflection. “When I saw you shivering in the cold, alone and afraid… I made it my mission to bring you happiness, to give you the very thing you truly desired.” He said. I stared at him through the mirror for a few moments as my hands started to shake.

“I’m… sorry, for much of the headache I caused you over those years…” I felt my body started to shake as I was getting more upset. “Sometimes I feel like I’m just a burden on you and… Now that my mom is alive and out there… do I have the right calling you Father?” I took in a shaky breath as I tried not to cry. “I’m...I’m sorry… so…” I stopped when I felt his hand on my shoulder. I looked at him through teary eyes. He wiped away the tears as he smiled down at me.

“You were never a burden to me, Viri, you were a gift… one that gave me joy.” He said to me with a little smile. I sniffled a bit before giving him a hug.

“Thank you… dad.” I said to him. He returned the embrace in kind before whispering to me calmly.

“No Viri, thank you… for everything.” He said in a whisper. The two of us held each other before pulling away… then I had to go through a quick makeup fixup, really I’m okay with no makeup.

The two of us walked out into the school and down the halls until we were outside where everyone is waiting. I saw Indigo and Blake standing together talking. Blake wore the dress she got from Rarity all those months ago, the dark blue and black dress still fit snugly on Blake as her hair was done back. Indigo wore a black tux with a white shirt and pinstripe vest. Some golden buttons held everything together as one of his sleeves was empty with no arm.

Weiss stood beside Tak as she wore her white and blue dress. Her hair was done normally but she had some makeup on and blue lipstick. Tak simply had a black dress long coat and dark brown vest with a gray shirt underneath. Though one thing did stand out, his lack of shoes.

Ruby had her dark red dress on, it looks much like the same but she had some long dark red dress gloves and some ruby earrings. She turned to me and smiled at me.

And finally was Yang, she wore what looks like a custom oriental dress that had some gold dragons wrapping around it. The only thing that also stood out was that it was open on the sides which anyone could see her legs. A transparent cloth was draped over her shoulders and down her arms that didn’t really cover her body as the rest of the dress showed off her curves. Her hair was done in a way that covers Yangs right eye as the makeup gave her a seductive look to her. She saw me and Father walk out and smiled at her husband.

“You two took long enough.” Weiss said with her hands on her hips.

“We had to find someone suitable to look after the kids while we’re out.” Father said, giving Weiss a reason for being late. Yang went over to Father and gave him a kiss.

“You look good in that suit.” she said with a smile. Father smiled before quickly returning the affection, giving Yang a short but passionate kiss. When he pulled away Yang let out a heartfelt sigh before leaning on to Father. I chuckled as Blake spoke.

“So… how do we get there?” Blake asked as Zecora walked up to us. She wore a dark green dress came up as a ‘V’ before being tied behind her head. I saw some tribal symbols on the dress as she nodded to Father. Father nodded at the Headmistress before the familiar roar of a wyvern caught our attention up in the night sky. Pulled by a pair of Wyverns was a large chariot big enough to fit us all and more.

“That’s so cool…” Ruby said in awe as the chariot landed on the ground with… Rose in it? Rose wore a simple black suit and held the reigns of the Wyverns.

“Hey there, want a lift?” she asked with a smile. I blinked as I looked at Father.

“You didn’t think I forgot transportation, did you?” Father asked with a laugh as he walked ahead and opened the chariot door. “Now, ladies first.” He said, motioning for us to enter. I chuckled as everyone entered the chariot. I saw Rose look back at us as we enter with Father coming in last. He closed the door where we sat in a very nice velvet room with dark blue seats and some champagne and wine cooling in some ice too which Yang happily opened one of them.

“We ready back there?” I heard Rose call out to us. Father gave her signal, a simple thumbs up through the window for her to see. “Alright, hang on!”

We felt the chariot lurch forward before we took off. Yang poured us some glasses of wine before passing it around. Weiss took one along with Blake, Zecora, Ruby, and I didn’t take a glass though. Father was soon handed a glass before Yang poured him some wine. We chatted through the trip there before I looked outside and saw we were heading to a mountain. On it was a large city build along side it. At the top was a large palace that was lit up and Ponies on the ground were heading towards it.

“We’re going down!” Rose yelled, which we oddly heard in the chariot. Soon I felt the feeling of going down quickly before the shaky landing as the wheels hit the ground and after a few moments it came to a stop. “We’re here, please exit out of the chariot and bring all bagged foods with you.” Father quietly chuckled at Rose’s behaviour before opening the door and exiting first. He held the door open for the rest of us to come out. One at a time we exited and looked around where we all.

“This is… some place.” Ruby said as she looked up at the palace.

“Yeah…” Weiss said, her eyes looking towards the ponies walking towards the palace. By the look of it they were nobles. “Some place…”

“Whose idea was it to build a city on the side of the mountain?” Indigo asked out loud. His answer was given to him with a simply shrug by Tak as he walked out of the chariot.

“I believe the one who built this place based it off of Fairy Tale castles.” A voice said. We turned to see Ozpin walking towards us wearing a dark brown suit and a cane, not the same one from Beacon but a simple cane. “I think it has a interesting charm to it.”

Zecora chuckled at this. “You are interesting Oz, also how did you get here so quickly?”

“I like to be in places a bit early than normal, keeps others on their toes.” he explained before seeing Father and gave him a simple bow. Father did the same, not wanting to be rude.

“Greeting Ozpin.” Father greeted as he straightened back up.

“Greetings to you, if I’m correct you’re Miss Xiao Long’s husband?” Oz arched a brow and looked at Yang before continuing. “Or is it Xiao Kun?”

“It’s Xiao Kun, yes.” Yang said smiling as she said this. Oz smiled at this as Yang took hold of Father’s arm. “And yes this is my husband.”

“Good to hear. Happy for the both of you.” Oz said as Rose pulled the Chariot away. “Now, if everyone’s ready, let’s cause a stir at this party.”

We followed Oz into the Palace, getting some odd looks from the Ponies we pass. I ignored them as best as I could when we headed to the front doors. Before we could walk in two guards stopped us.

“Excuse me, what do you lot think you’re doing?” one of the Pony guards asked us.

“Going to a party, what do you think?” Yang told him. The guard frowned at her as Zecora spoke.

“We came at the word of Princess Celestia, I have the note with me.” she said before pulled a folded note and handed it over. The guard took it and read it over. As he did I heard some nobles talking.

“Can’t believe some Faunus think they can just come into the Gala at their will, what a laugh.” one mare said in a snotty tone. I frown more as I heard more of them talk. Some call us animals and beasts. I saw Yang clench her jaw as her hands turned to fists.

“Hey.” Rose’s voice said as she came up behind us. “What did I miss?”

“Oh this is interesting, this one looks funny.” Another one said at the sight of Rose. She blinked for a moment before nodding.

“Never mind, I think I got the gist of it.” she said as I saw Yang slowly grew more angry as the guard asked the other to see if the note is true. Father took hold of her fist, caressing her hand to calm her down. Yang gave him a look before Father shook his head as the second guard came back, we now had a few nobles waiting around just to see us get kicked out.

The guard whispered something into the first guard’s ear, making him frown.

“You sure?” the first guard asked, getting a flat look from the second. The first one sighed as he looked at all of us. “Alright, it seems that the note is true, so go on in.”

“What! That can’t be right, check again!” one of the nobles yelled as it started an argument as we entered.

“Are the nobles in your land the same as these ones?” I heard Yang asked Father as we entered the large gathering room.

“No, they know not to anger me and to treat others with respect.” Father said before shaking his head with a dark chuckle. “Otherwise the non-dovah in the valley gets another toy to play with.” This dark humor from Father seemed to make Yang smile as we entered. After a few moments I saw Princess Celestia walk over to us alongside Twilight and… another Twilight? No wait, this one is more stallion like. He had more of a shorter mane with a dark blue tux. Twilight and him were whispering to each other but I could hear them.

“I told you to go get a better tux Dusk.” Twil scolded him.

“I tried, but this was short notice and it was from Shining.” The stallion, Dusk said. I heard Yang chuckle as it seems she heard it too.

“I’m happy to see you all made it safely.” Princess Celestia said as she gave a small bow. “I believe we all met before but just for safety sakes we can go over them again; I’m Princess Celestia and these,” she gestures to the two ponies with her. “Are Twilight Sparkle, my personal student, and her twin brother, Dusk Shine.”

“Hello.” Both of them greeted before looking at each other. Zecora chuckle at this.

“It’s nice to meet you again Princess, as you know I am Zecora, Headmistress of Forever Free Academy.” she then gestures to both Indigo and Ozpin. “These two are Professors there, Indigo Parker and Ozpin.”

“It’s nice to meet you finally.” Ozpin said with a bow. Father soon bowed as well with Yang following suit.

“Greetings your majesties.” Said Father and Yang in unison. Ruby and I giggled at this as Father and Yang straighten.

“Ah, forgive me but I don’t believe we have met…” Celestia said to Father. The latter smiled before saying.

“I am Saanvodkiin Xiao Kun, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.” Father introduced himself. Yang smiled before speaking.

“And I’m Yang Xiao Kun, his lovely wife.” Yang said with a smile. I think she just likes to say that. Twilight gave Yang an odd look.

“Didn’t you look… different?” The mare asked.

“I grew a bit.” Yang pointed out. Father chuckled at that before kissing her cheek. Yang smiled a bit more at this.

“Well, it’s nice to meet you two.” Celestia said before looking over at Weiss. “Ah, you’re Weiss correct?”

“Yes, your majesty.” Weiss said with a bow as well.

“I was told that you’ll sing tonight, am I wrong?” Celestia asked.

“Ah, yes your majesty. Do I have time for a last minute practice or…” Weiss asked the pony princess.

“You have time, I’ll have one of the guards escort you.” Celestia said, as if on cue a guard came up to her and stood there. Weiss looked at the guard with a nervous glance.

“I’m… Not going to ask.” she said before giving Tak a kiss. “Save me a dance?” Tak nodded with a smile. I smiled at this, having never really seen him this happy before. Weiss walked off with the guard in a hurried fashion, Weiss was hurrying not the guard who was trying to keep up.

“We’re just going trust a guard after what happened out front?” Indigo asked out loud gaining everyone’s attention. A sad look formed on Celestia’s face before she spoke.

“This happened to you at the front?” she asked before rubbing her forehead. “This isn’t how I wanted things to start.”

“You need to inform them that any guest in this palace should be treated with respect.” Father said, adding to the conversation.

“I agree with you and they do… In all the wrong places.” Celestia said. I swore I heard a hint of annoyance in her voice as she said that. “I had hoped they would start treating Faunus with more respect but… It’s agonisingly slow.”

I watched as Celestia talked and moved a bit, seeing hints of anger in her posture. I believe she wanted to put her foot down about this to the others but… Can’t.

“Just be warned that if any of them lay a finger on my wife… I will not be as kind as I am now.” Father said, remembering how the nobles had angered her outside.

“I’ll keep that in mind Mister Xiao Kun.” Celestia said with a sad smile. “I do hope you have an enjoyable time here.”

With that said Celestia walked off, just to have a group of Nobles crowd her. Indigo shook his head as he and Blake went off into the crowd with Zecora and Ozpin doing the same. Tak simply walked off in a random direction, ignoring the remarks from the passing nobles.

“Well that was lovely.” Yang said in an annoyed tone. She soon sighed as she wrapped her arms around Father’s arm, leaning her head onto his shoulder before saying. “I could really go for some of that Dovah wine… the wines here can’t compare to the Dovah ones.” Father merely chuckled at his wife’s words.

“I will be sure to bring more from Skuldafn later, for now these will have to suffice.” Father said to her, kissing the top of her head after speaking. Yang giggled happily at this, her anger and annoyance completely vanishing thanks to Father. I smiled at the two of them as I noticed some servers walking around. Just as Iilah said some of them were Faunus. They looked either drone like or unhappy which upsets me.

I noticed that Rose was looking at a platter of various cheese that one of the servers was holding. By the odd looks the Faunus was showing, they are probably wondering what Rose is. Which reminds me that I need to ask her what she is…

I shook my head a bit as I decided to walk around the floor a bit with Ruby. I saw that Twilight brought her friends and I saw Diana was zooming around in a pink blur. It wasn’t long before I saw Skyler who was looking like she was fangirling over something. Ruby was curious so we walked over to her.

“Hey Sky.” I greeted the bird Faunus. Skyler looked at is in confusion before recognizing us.

“Oh, hey Viri, Ruby. What’s up?” Skyler asked us.

“Trying to enjoy the party…” Ruby said as she looked around. “Though it doesn’t look as much fun as I thought.”

“Oh well… I can agree to that.” Skyler said with a chuckle before looking really excited. “But the Wonderbolts are here!!!”

“Who?” Ruby asked, earning a shocked looked from the Faunus.

“You don’t know who they are!?!” Skyler asked Ruby. Both Ruby and I slowly shook our heads. “Really… well they are the best pegasus Huntsmen group from the Skyloft academy!”

“Skyloft?” I asked as I noticed Indigo and Blake nearby and so was Ozpin. They seemed to have overheard what Skyler was saying before she continued.

“Yeah, there’s three major schools in Equestria and Skyloft Academy is known to be an all pegasus school.” Skyler explained. Ruby seemed interested in this, looking at the bird faunus curiously she asked.

“What are the other two?” Ruby asked. Skyler looked at her for a moment before thinking about it.

“Well one of them is a branch part to Celestia’s school for Gifted Unicorns which trains unicorns to be Huntsmen and the other… Terraforge Academy I believe the name was. That’s for Earth Ponies.” Skyler explained.

‘And now Forever Free is one for Faunus…’ I thought to myself as I looked around while Skyler was praising the Wonderbolts team.

“And don’t forget Forever Free.” Indigo said as he and Blake walked over to us, Blake’s arm was wrapped around his as they held hands.

“Oh uh, yeah. Forever Free too.” Skyler said, surprised to see Indigo there. “Though I think not a lot of others would think that is really a school…”

“Fuck ‘em.” Indigo replied in a very blunt manner. “If they can’t accept it, they’re nothing but bigots.” Blake had suppressed a laugh, having found the sudden bluntness of her lover to be amusing.

This earned a frowned look at every noble that was around us at the time. Indigo didn’t seem to care about them as Ozpin came over.

“Now now, no need to be rude Mister Parker.” Ozpin said. “This is a party and we are supposed have a pleasant time.” Oz then turned to Skyler with a smile. “I believe I heard that you wish to become a Huntress yourself, Miss Skyler.”

“Huh? Oh, uh kinda…” Skyler answered with a little blush. Ozpin smiled as he turned back to Indigo.

“I believe Forever Free is going to start looking for more students in the coming months, am I wrong?” Ozpin asked Indi. The latter nodded before saying.

“Yeah, in about a month or two will be the start of the next school year and we’re always open for newcomers.” Indigo said in an informative manner.

“Well then.” Ozpin turned to Skyler with a smile. “I hope we’ll see you there if you like.”

“Wait… you’re allowing me to attend?” Skyler asked shocked. Ozpin didn’t say anything as he looked over at Indigo with a smile.

“Anyone is allowed to attend.” Indigo said with a chuckle. Skyler looked at him with a shocked expression before looking at me and Ruby. We simply smiled at her before she looked back.

“Thank you… thank you so much!” Skyler said with a bright smile on her face.

“It’s going be nice to see some new faces at the school.” Blake said with a smile. “Kinda exciting to see what the new school year will bring.”

“It kinda is.” Ruby said with a smile. “I wonder if they will look up to us or something, Oooo~ I might be a role model!” Indigo simply looked at her oddly before chuckling.

“Honestly I’m just hoping it to be less of a hassle.” Indigo said just above a whisper. Blake looked up at him with an arched brow.

“You always ask that, does it ever come true?” Blake asked Indigo. The latter sighed before shaking his head.

“No but a man can dream.” Indigo said, smiling after he said this. Blake giggled at this before pulling him closer for a kiss to which he returned in kind.

“Eh, I better get going. Still somethings I need to do.” Skyler said before walking off, leaving us alone.

“So what are your real thoughts on these three schools?” Blake asked out of nowhere. Indigo shrugged at this before giving her an answer.

“I can’t say much having never really heard of them before now.” Indigo said with a sigh.

“If you ask me, I don’t like the idea of schools allowing one set of being in.” Ozpin said with a frown. “And from what I could pick up, their way of thinking of huntsmen are different from ours.” We remained silent for a minute or two, knowing what he meant. Eventually the silence grew awkward. Before long the lights dimmed and Celestia’s voice spoke.

“Hello everyone, I’m glad you’re all having a good time.” She said, making me look at everyone around me. “Here at the Gala we celebrate the founding of Equestria, where the three tribes came together and built this land.”

There was a round of applause at this as Celestia paused. “Yes… but as you all know there are others that live in Equestria as well, mostly a race known as the Faunus.” A lot of murmurs came from the nobles from this. “It’s saddens me to see that, after so long, they aren’t being treated fairly as I would have liked. Even with my sisters return I heard rumors that some have disagreed with this as well.”

The tone of Celestia’s voice made it clear that she was not happy. Her eyes scanned the room as she continued. “I tried to bring peace to all races, give them all an equal footing here in our land. But it seems that some Faunas took it upon themselves to move forward on their own.” Her smile crept up as Zecora stepped out from behind. “I all want you to meet Zecora, the one who runs the new school out in the Everfree called the Forever Free Academy. There, even Faunas are able to go and learn and train to be Huntsmen and Huntresses.”

I heard more murmurs coming from the Nobles, some of them were angry ones. I frowned at this as I continued listening.

“Yes, it’s a bit of a hike to the place but we are open for all wishing to learn.” Zecora said before adding. “But not to just Faunus. We are open to all who wish to learn and… have an open mind.”

“Zecora I wish we can see you more in the coming future.” Celestia said to Zecora.

“I believe you will, but as a gift for you I have one of our newly graduated students come forward and sing a song she has made.” Zecora said with a smile. The princess smiled before the two of them stepped away and Weiss stepped forward. She took a deep breath as the lights was focused on her.

The music slowly started and then she started to sing.

As I listened to Weiss sing, I started to sway a bit along with the music. As this continues my ears flattened on top of my head.

“She… sounds so sad.” I said softly. Indigo nodded at this but didn’t say anything. I saw that all the nobles didn’t seem to say anything, mostly too caught up with Weiss singing.

After some time later Weiss finished and everyone applause at her. She smiled and did a small bow. The light returned to the room as both me and Ruby made our way up to where Weiss was.

“That… was amazing Weiss.” I said when I got up to her. Weiss smiled at me.

“Thanks, I was worried that the song would’ve been a little off or I didn’t get the right notes.” she said with a sheepish chuckle. “I didn’t get the right amount of practice in beforehand.”

“Well if you ask me you sounded amazing.” a voice said. We turned to see Rarity with some Stallion. He had a long blonde mane that looks like it took hours to do, a white coat and an expensive suit. He had this smile about him that I really, really wanted to punch.

“Uhh, thanks?” Weiss said.

“If you don’t mind, this is Prince Blueblood, one of Canterlots most elite members.” Rarity introduce which Blueblood smirked.

“Thank you my dear…” he said in a odd way. It’s official, I don’t like this guy… at all. He turned back to Weiss with a smile. “You have an… air about you, one I seen many times before.”

“Does Weiss smell?” Ruby whispered to me. I simply shrugged at her.

“Thank you Prince Blueblood. That’s really nice of you to say that.” Weiss said with her own smile, must’ve known what he’s talking about.

“Well, if you’re aren’t busy right now I would love it to show you to the food table where only the most elite members have their food.” he said before clearing his throat a bit. “I’m heading that way to… clean my mouth after eating something rotten.”

I saw Rarity’s eye twitch a bit. “I don’t want to be rude but… those pastries were made by my close friend… Handmade if I can add.” Blueblood simply glanced at Rarity with a bored look.

“So? They’re garbage.” he said bluntly. I twitched a bit, holding back the fist that really wanted to meet his muzzle. Weiss simply smiled.

“Blueblood.” Weiss started, getting a disapproving look from Blueblood as she continued. “It’s nice of you to ask me to come but, I have to decline.” This caused Blueblood to look at Weiss oddly.

“I-I’m sorry?” he asked confused. This made me think that this Stallion doesn’t get said no to very much. Weiss simply chuckled.

“Let me break it down for you, you cart me off to show me some expensive dishes that only you and a small few can have, say many things to butter me up to you and have me wrapped around your finger and treat me as your property.” Weiss said before moving forward. Blueblood started to back up nervously. We all watched this happen as Weiss continues more.

“Let me get one thing clear, you think you can get anything you want just because your some noble with high power or something, but I’m Weiss Schnee. I seen that same power and laugh at it for being petty.”

Blueblood was sweating nervously as he fell into a chair as Weiss stood over him with a smile. “I just have one little thing to say to you.” she leaned in a bit closer. “You’re not my type, trash.”

Weiss pulled away and walked back towards us just as Tak came back from somewhere. Weiss smiled and hooked her arm around his. “Tak dear, I think we should go find someone that has some handmade food made for us, I heard they are delicious.”

“Oh, sure.” Tak said before Weiss led him away from the scene. Ruby, Rarity, and I stared at this as Blueblood was trying to say something but look like a goldfish. I heard Indigo chuckle at this.

“Rejected~,” Indigo said jokingly to the stallion with a laugh. I looked over at him as Blake wasn’t with him.

“You can do better.” Ruby said to the purple maned unicorn as she stared at all of us.

“I… umm… what?” she said. I shook my head as the two of us walked away from Indigo and Rarity. The two of us walked around a bit before seeing Yang talking to Celestia. Yang seemed really happy too.

“Hey Yang.” I greeted her. Yang and Celestia turned to us.

“Oh, hey you two.” Yang greeted back.

“What are you two talking about?” I asked them.

“Oh well, I was talking to Miss Xiao Kun-”

“Call me Yang please.” Yang corrected Celestia.

“My apologies, I was just talking to Yang about her and her husband which led to her kids.” Celestia informed us.

“Yes and their just the sweetest, Strun just getting better with speaking but still stutters a bit and Kaida just got some new clothes.” Yang sighed blissfully after finishing. Me and Ruby giggled at this as I my ear twitched as I heard someone talking.

“Ugh, I can’t stand to hear about this. Those Faunus having more children is just annoying. It’s bad enough to have them around but making more trash is just…” I stopped as I saw Yangs expression changed to happy to down right pissed. She turned and marched towards where the voice was.

“Uhh, Yang? Miss Xiao Kun?” Celestia called for her as Yang marched over before grabbing a Stallion and pushed him into a wall. There were gasps of fright at the sight of this.

“Say that again you ass! Say that to my face!” Yang yelled at the Stallion. “Call my children trash again, I dare you! Do it so I can put you into the ground and leave you there!”

“Help! This monster is attacking me!” the noble yelled, causing Yang to slam him into the wall.

“Monster huh?” Yang growled before dropping the noble. He stumbled up before Yang raised her hand up and punched the wall beside his head. The wall cracked from the force of Yang’s punch. She got in close to him before saying. “Take a good look at yourself and ask that question.” she threatened before pulling away and marching off away from everyone, pushing and shoving the nobles that stood in her way. Celestia watched all of this before calling for the guards. Some of the nobles smirked at this, thinking that their Princess is going to send them after Yang.

“Guards, can you take this stallion and throw him out of the Gala.” she asked, shocking everyone.

“B-but Princess, why are you doing this?!” the noble asked as two guards came and hauled him up.

“I wanted to bring peace and trust to all races in Equestria. That includes Faunus, but it seems that you went ahead and insulted not her but her children.” she nodded at the guards, how pulled the Stallion away, kicking and screaming. She then looked at everyone around her. “It seems that I can’t simply think that I could trust others to do something so simple. So for now I demanded all of you to treat Faunus the same way as you do with other Ponies. If not well…” her expression darkened a bit. “I heard the Badlands look nice this time of year.”

The Nobles looked at their Princess in fear as I saw Father coming over to us, looking around as he tried to find Yang before looking at me and Ruby.

“Have any of you seen where she might’ve gone?” He asked with worry. We told him what happened and looked over to where she has gone off, which was out of the main doors. With a nod he ran off to find Yang, leaving us there. The two of us looked at each other before running after him.

We followed him out of the place and into the gardens where Yang was sitting down looking down at the ground. As we got closer we saw tear stains on her face. Father was seen beside her, comforting her as she cried. We stood in silence as we watched this unfold.

“Come here you two, we know your there.” Father called out to us as he held Yang close, her tears now staining his suit. The two of us looked at each other before walking over to them. I looked at Yang as she cried, her transparent cloth now in ripped up and blowing away with the wind. Now looking at her I guessed due to her outburst she didn’t see where she was going and her dress got pretty ripped up. She didn’t seemed to care at that at the moment as we stood there in silence. “It’s alright Yang… your outburst was not unjustified.” Father said to Yang. Yang sniffled and whimper a bit as she buried her head into Father’s suit. “You do not know how much it hurts me seeing her like this.” Father said just above a whisper as he looked at us. “That noble… I will make him wish he was never born.” Father said, his voice taking a very threatening and low tone. His eyes normally golden irises vanishing, leaving nothing but white as he frowned deeply.

Ruby and I looked at each other before Yang spoke. “Please… stay here with me…” she said to Father. “Don’t leave me…” And just like that his eyes returned to normal, his worried look returning before he said.

“I won’t…” He whispered back lovingly as he kept her close. The two of them stayed close as me and Ruby sat down on some grass. Before long Yang calmed down enough to pull away from Father.

“Thank you…” she said before looking down at herself and sighing. “I wanted it to be revealing for you but this is a little much now…” she said as her dress was close to be falling off of her. Father chuckled at this as he wiped away some of the remaining tears.

“Nothing I cannot fix, my dear.” He said before waving his other hand. Within a blink of an eye, Yang’s dress was fully repaired in fact looking more as if it never ripped. Yang smiled at this before pulling Father in for a kiss. The two of them shared a passionate kiss that lasted a little longer than normal before the two of them pulled away.

“What do you want to do now love?” Yang asked Father in a soft voice. Father smiled as he looked at Yang.

“I can think of many things… but most of them require more privacy.” Father said with a small laugh. Yang looked at him for a moment before looking back at the two of us.

“You two, shoo.” she said.

“Right bye.” I said as both Ruby and I left the two of them alone. As we walked off I heard the last few words from them before getting out of earshot.

“Now let’s have some fun, big boy~” I blushed as Yang said that before we got away from them. As the two of us walked away from them we saw everyone else outside. When we got there we were told that there were some crazy stuff happening and they wanted to head out before it comes to a peak. I told them that Father and Yang are going to take their own way back to the school. With that we got into the carriage and flew off back to Forever Free.

After the next few hours, the last to arrive back at the school and Father and Yang were happier. That night I had Qo with me as we slept, thinking what the next day will bring.
