Ruby's stomach growled. She grimaced, "I'm so hungry, I could eat a tantor. How much farther?"

Yang replied with a disapproving frown, "Sis, I don't think you're even half as bad off as I am. For a week, I had to be fed through an IV, then I had to eat that tasteless crap. By the way, crap is what most of it looked like."

Blake argued, "It didn't look like crap. Stop exaggerating, Yang. I sat by that bed the whole time. How do you think I am? Oh, and It's neurobiology, not neurology."

Yang answered, "As I said, gibberish. You didn't have to starve yourself, Blakey. I wish you hadn't done that." She shook her head sadly.

Blake stopped walking, looking downcast at the ground for a few seconds before stating forlornly, "If you hadn't made it, that wouldn't have mattered."

The blonde just looked at her girlfriend, not knowing what to say.

The white rose couple looked back at the other two before commenting, "You two bicker like an old married couple, and you can't stand to be without each other."

"Married couple?," Blake echoed in surprise.

Yang gave her answer to Blake's confusion, "Forever is a long time, Blakey. That includes the rest of our lives,"

Blake's mouth fell open as her eyes widened in shock, "Excuse me? Did I just hear you say that...at some point...you want to...marry...me?"

Yang gave her affirmation, accompanied with a nod.

Blake blushed, and after a few seconds, fainted.

Yang caught her. She kissed Blake on the lips, "Hey, wake up, Sleeping Beauty."

Blake's eyes snapped open before, "Yang, I say yes now and I'll say yes then. But I think we might be moving a bit fast."

Ruby quoted, "Love moderately. Long love doth so. Too swift arriveth as tardy as too slow."

Weiss got an intriguing idea, "Ruby, am I Pretty?"

Ruby responded exactly as the snow-haired girl expected her to, "Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night. Like a rich jewel in an ethiope's ear. Beauty too rich for use, for Earth to dear. So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows, as yonder o'er her lady fellow shows. Did my heart love til now? Forswear it sight. For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night."

At Ruby's Perfect capture of Romeo's accent and words, Weiss kissed her passionately, It seemed at bit too passionately.

Yang watched the scene unfolding, her eyes narrowed with disapproval. Weiss was turned on by that? She better not take advantage of my sister. I think 'the talk' is in order.

Blake felt temperature increase. she looked at Yang with worry in her eyes. She knew what was going through the girl's mind, "Yang, calm down. I don't think that's happening anytime soon."

Yang gave a low, "better not."

Ruby was suddenly in front of them, "And why not? You may be my half-sisterm but you don't get to decided my relationship. Capiche?"

Weiss repeated in incomprehension, "Half-sister? If that wasn't Yang in the diary, then-"

She was cut off by lips on her own, "Don't ask right now," Ruby pleaded with sad eyes.

"For now we should enjoy today, not live in the past, Carpe Diem!"

Before Weiss could utter a sound, Yang bellowed, "FOOD!"

The four looked at where Yang was pointing, there was the cafe on the next block.

They rushed in and sat at a table. They were given menus by a certain girl with rabbit ears. Ruby questioned, "Velvet?"

The girl admitted, "I work here part-time. Please don't let anyone else know." She shifted tact quickly, "May I take your orders?"

Blake ordered a tuna sandwich, while her partner asked for a steak. Weiss requested a salad, with light dressing.

They looked at their leader, who couldn't make up her mind. She decided she just wanted the large chocolate-chip cookie. This earned a unanimous "no." from the rest. Weiss decided to get her a burger.

Velvet went to put their orders through. While they waited for their food, Ruby clearly deflated by the rejection of her cookie, they broke out in disscussion.

Their food came quickly. As they ate, Ruby spoke up, "Weiss, why did you act like that when I made that quote?"

Weiss felt awkward immediately, "Why do you ask, when you already know the answer? Are you trying to embarrass me? Or...oh God...Are you...trying to...start something here?"

Ruby quickly countered with, "No. I was just-I think I'm going to shut up now."

Weiss looked at her crossly, as the table fell into uncomfortable silence. They all realized that the next event on the list was the exact movie Ruby kept quoting.

Weiss broke the silence with, "Ruby, I think we might be moving a bit fast as well."

As Ruby opened her mouth to speak, Weiss warned, "If you quote ANYTHING, I will walk out of this cafe, plain and fucking simple. Capiche?"

The girl in question snapped her mouth shut instantly, not trusting her self to speak.

Weiss cautioned, "We need to keep better control of ourselves. Impulsiveness only causes problems."

Ruby suggested meekly, "Maybe we should do different events?"

Weiss shook her head, "No. Let us keep with the plan. Think of it as a test."

Ruby didn't like the sound of that. I dont think swimming is such a good idea anymore

Yang suddenly shouted, "Shit!" Which drew questioning looks from Blake and Ruby, and an annoyed "What now?" from Weiss.

"How far away is the theater?" Was what they got.

"About 20 minutes from here. Why?"

Yang only pointed at the clock. It read, 1:55. Blake had an incredulous look, "Have we really been here that long?"

Ruby jumped up, "The time for questions is over. The time for action is NOW!"

She grabbed Yang's hand in one of hers and Weiss's in the other. Yang barley had time to catch Blake's hand before Ruby activated her semblance.

Weiss watched the strangeness a second time, while Yang yelled, "What the HELL is this?"

Weiss replied, "This is her semblance. I'm not sure I like the implications."

Blake just looked like something was on her mind that bothered her.

They stopped outside the theater. Yang looked at the time, 1:55, "OH FUCK!"

Ruby smiled as if something had occured to her. Nobody noticed but Weiss. . Uh oh. She better not be thinking what I think she is,

Yang said, "Well, let's go inside."

Ruby tried to walk, but only ended up stumbling. Weiss caught her, looking at her with concern, "Are you okay?"

The brunette nodded, "Just too much to carry...so fast...Won't be doing that again...anytime soon."

Weiss helped her girlfriend inside. They got popcorn and drinks.

As they entered, Yang exclaimed, "Whoa!"

Even though it was early, the theater was almost packed. "Must be popular," Blake mused.

Ruby gave her a 'No duh' look of askance. Weiss observed, "Looks like we won't all four sit together. Ruby and I can sit in the center."

Ruby nodded in agreement.

Blake stated "I don't like the back, too close to the sound."

Yang seemed agreeable to the seating, "I like being closer to the picture."

Ruby's POV

They took their seats. Weiss Immediately turned to the girl next to her, "Ruby, This will be a proper date. I will set ground rules for this, and you WILL follow them to the letter. If you don't, I will walk out of this theater and straight back to Beacon. Is that understood?"

Ruby thought, God I love it when she gets all angry and flustered, trying to be the dominate one in the relationship Of course, thats me. I can get my Angel Princess to do anything, with just the right push, Hmm. I like that pet name. Angel Princess. I wonder when I can use it.

Her thoughts were interupted by, "Did you hear what I just said?"

Ruby answered, "If I don't follow the rules exactly, You'll walk out of here and back to Beacon."

This was met with, "And after that?"

Ruby realized, "I've screwed up. Our first date hasn't even started off, and It's already started going to ruin."

"Huh, I thought you were daydreaming again."

Ruby didn't know what to say to that. She just stared at the floor filled with shame."Then go. If I've screwed up that badly, then you shouldn't be here. I guess I'm not girlfriend material. I won't make you suffer anymore than you already have. I think I need to get this right. I'll be back when I'm more deserving, if that's even possible. If that isn't able to happen, then you deserve better."

As she walked off, she heard Weiss start crying, She didn't want to let Weiss see her tears. Then she felt a hand grab her wrist.

"Weiss don't try to stop me. If I just cause you pain, then I shouldn't be with you. I'm going to try to improve. If I don't, then you should be with someone better."

She looked down and saw gold around the wrist of the hand. She looked up into her sister's eyes. They were blood-red.

"Hear me well, Little sis. If you walk out of here now, you better not try to make things right later. You're going to walk out of a theater that's playing Romeo and Juliet, leaving your girlfriend crying? That is completely the fucking opposite of 'girlfriend material' as you put it."

Ruby felt like she would have preferred to be hit by Ember Celica, instead of hearing that. She tried to pull away, but Yang had her wrist in a death grip.

"You want to deserve her? You want to make this right? You want to be 'girlfriend material'? Then Blake and I are about to teach the two of you a lesson in relationships.

"Walking away is undeserving and cowardly, Staying and actually fighting with her through problems like these shows Courage and Love. Don't abandon the woman you love in the middle of the storm. Show her she doesn't have to worry about the raging trouble. You'll find that things are much brighter when the storm passes, when you come out of it together, rather than leaving her to suffer alone and hurt."

Yang led her back to Weiss.

Ruby looked at Weiss. She saw a girl who had no one. Who had everyone leave when she needed them most. A girl who never had what she had always needed: Someone to love her and understand. Ruby had almost become part of that equation. Ruby hadn't given thought to what Weiss was going through. She knew exactly what to do.

Weiss's POV

Ok, Weiss. Time to get this straight. I need to set some restrictions.

As she spoke her guidelines, she noticed the girl's eyes were unfocused. . Does she ever pay attention?

At her question, Ruby seemed to snap out of it. But her answer was only the first part, she decided to ask for tbe rest. She was surprised by the response. I guess she WAS listening.

Her acknowledgement got the opposite reaction from Ruby she expected.

As Ruby gave her admission of defeat, and subsequent choice to leave, Weiss started to cry.

It's happen again. This always happens. You are such a Bitch, Weiss. How could you make her feel like she doesn't deserve you? Are you too perfect for her?

Weiss closed her eyes in horrified shock at that. No. I'm not perfect Everyone always runs when I snap at them. When I fail, nobody ever stays. I just want someone to love me, who understands.

But who could ever love a monster like you? Who could ever understand such a Bitch? Nobody ever could.

Weiss was suddenly more terrified than she had ever been before. 'What's happening to me? It's like I've argued with myself for so long, there is another person.'

She heard, "That's not good at all, " from right next to her.

She jumped out of her seat, "Blake! You scared the living fuck out of me!"

Blake looked at her with a mixture of pity and compassion, "To have your dark side take on a personality of it's own is a terrible thing to have to experience. If you want someone to talk to, who understands, just ask."

Weiss felt a strange feeling in her head. Then she rudely snapped, "I'm not a nutcase. But I should have known the black harlot was one all along. It's always the quiet ones." A cruel smirk danced across her lips as she turned Blake's words on her.

Weiss's mouth fell open not even ten seconds later, as laughter resounded in her head. She put her head in her hands and started weeping.

Blake gave no reaction to the insult. She waited for the inevitable two questions.

"Why is this happening to me? Can I be...put back together?"

Blake admitted sadly, "Only you can answer those questions.

She led Weiss to Ruby, who was being led to her by Yang.

Ruby's arms encircled Weiss. Ruby said, "Weiss. you don't have to feel unloved or lonely. I'm never going to let you go. I won't abandon you. EVER. I love you, Angel Princess, Forever. No matter what Bitch you act like, no matter what anyone says, That will NEVER Change. Not here, nor anywhere else."

Weiss kept sobbing, "Don't leave me alone, please. I don't want to alone anymore. I Love you Rose Angel. And I will love you, forever. I'm so sorry. Thank you for staying."

Everyone had lost interest in the movie. They were to busy admiring the amazing moment happening right before them.

The team looked at the screen. It showed one of the most climatic and heartfelt scenes: The lovers' last stand with each other, the mutual suicide.

Ruby said, "Let us go, shall we?"

The team left the theater, heading towards the rest of the day and everything that would come aftef.

They failed to notice that one person was more interested than anyone else, and she had good reason to be. The White-haired woman saw the spectical with her daughter happen in front of her eyes.

Samantha smiled, I'm glad my daughter found someone who will stand by her. She will need it, especially from now on.

She walked out of the theater, watching the team head off. . It won't be long before word of this reaches Clarence. My husband has eyes and ears everywhere. I must protect my daughter from his tyranny. No matter what it takes.

With that, the Schnee mother set off after her daughter, always at the right distance, constantly alert.
