"Now it has been apparently made, this next week is guardian week, where your parents or legal guardians will visit Beacon for the week, and of course during this time there will be special events which parents and students can participate together, they will also observe some classes, but normal classes will be held when these events are not on" Ozpin said to the gathered assembly as they cheered and looked on excited.

"This is so awesome, I'm going to call Dad" Yang said skipping out of the room

"I should also inform my mother" Blake said

"Yeah me too" Weiss said almost sorrowful making Blake confused

"Okay I'll be in the garden" Ruby said walking off.

"She's almost in there in once a day" Blake said

"It's the only place she can go and talk with her mother" Weiss said

"Hey mum" Ruby said sitting on a stone in front of a statue of her mother in what appeared a garden surrounded by statues of other fallen heroes that attended Beacon over the ages. Heroes from the founding of Beacon, the war, The first Faunus conflicts they were all here displayed and represented by statues of them. Ruby always sat near her mother's statue and talk to it like it was a telephone to her mother; the topics differed from day to day. But the most common topics were her friends and their lives.

"So anyway, Guardian week is coming up and the whole schools a buzz, I only wish that you and dad; my real mum and dad were here to see me. All grown up and all that. But I won't be alone, Mum, Dad and Uncle Crow will be here, I'm not sure if I told they adopted me into their family after the Cliffside Crisis" Ruby said with a knee underneath her chin "In fact I think this is the first time I brought up being adopted to you" Ruby said looking up at her mother's statue as a single rose petal caressed her cheek

"Thanks mum" Ruby said smiling as she got up "I'll bring Yang, my sister next time" Ruby said

"But this is important!" Weiss said over the phone

"Well you know your father and I cannot come to some silly school event" her mother Eis said

"This is important, it allows our parents to find out our we are progressing at our abilities as Hunters" Weiss said

"Yes, yes dear we know that but frankly I think your career as a Huntress is not in your best opinion, and that you will take over the roles me and your father currently do; the Head of the Schnee Dust Corporation and a first class singer" Eis said

"But what if I don't want to be like that all my life?" Weiss asked.

"Well you don't have a choice in the manner at all; and that is final Weiss!" Eis exclaimed hanging up

"Fine, I HATE YOU ANYWAY YOU SELF CENTRED BITCH, I HOPE YOU DIE!" Weiss shouted at the phone in her hand as tears flowed down her face.

"Always, I try and get you two along to a school event and what happens I'm disappointed like always. I wonder why I even come to places like these" Weiss said sinking to the floor.

"To better yourself and get an education" Blake said looking down at her teammate

"How much?" Weiss asked

"Um around the bitch insult" Blake said sitting down next to her.

"It just seems like I don't matter to them, and expect for when they are trying to change me into what they want" Weiss said

"And you hate that?" Blake asked

"Yes, in fact I chose to enrol in this school, to rebel against my parents in a way" Weiss said

"Expect for the fact that your father Geist Schnee went here as well" Blake said

"Yeah, funny isn't it? I rebel against my parents that same way my father rebel against his parents" Weiss chuckled.

"Wow was that a chuckle from miss Frosty?" Yang asked entering the dorm
"Shut up!" Weiss said glaring at Yang who just chuckled

The Next Day

"Is this going to be okay?" a woman asked running her hands through her golden blonde hair as a man near her laugh "Aurum!" the woman said

"You look beautiful my dear, and nothing will be more okay then our two darling daughters running up to us and greeting us warmly" Aurum said smiling as he placed a hand on his wife Honey Long.

"Indeed" a voice said

"Oh Crow, you could have picked a better cloak than that one!" Honey said glaring at her brother in law who wore the same cloak he did since the Hunter's Brawl, only it had a few more holes in it and a couple of patch up jobs using strings of Nevermore feathers

"You can't argue with him" Aurum said

"Why am I not surprise that you are nothing but scruffy" a stern voice said

"And I'm surprised that you can even wear that suit without the stick up your arse breaking the seams" Aurum said looking other at a gentleman who wore a silver suit with a maroon vest and a white shirt, around his neck loosely hung a bright red knitted scarf with the white Schnee crest at the end.

"Geist, it's been too long" Honey said hugging the gentleman

"Honey, how lovely you look" Geist said smiling as Honey was bashful over her dress which was composed of a white puffy sleeved blouse, a black corset like vest over top and a long light brown skirt accompanied by a pair of black ballet flats

"And your husband still chooses his attire to resemble a mix of pirate and cowboy" Geist said eyes sparkling with mirth as he saw Aurum spluttering over his outfit being insulted.

"That scarf" Crow said

"Yes it was a present" Geist said sadly

"NO need to say anything else" Crow said looking out the window

"Still mysterious as ever hey Crow?" a cheerful voice said as a woman with black hair that turned violet at the tips said as her amber eyes gazed out teh window with her friend

"Tell Me Raven when are you going to reveal your secret?" Crow asked

"How long have you know?" Raven asked

"We've all known Raven" Aurum said

"What about you Geist knowing that my kind have been attacking your family for two generations now?" Raven asked as her covered ears twitched

"Yes I know, and that particular problem has caused a rift between me and Weiss" Geist said

"Know that not all Faunus want to kill humanity" Raven said

"And not all humans want to kill Faunus" Crow said

"I know, but with these extremist the White Fang its becoming harder for peace" Aurum sighed.

"Goodness is this a time for merriment or a time or time for woefullness, I thought we were going to see our children not attend their funerals" a voice boomed destroying the gloom feeling in the air

"Odin, Lee how are you my good friends?" Aurum asked

"I'm of a fair weather, however my stomach feels like it has been deprived of nourishment" Odin said patting his rotund stomach, the easiest way to describe Odin was basically a cheerful barrel on leg with a bush of copper grass on its lid. His smile reached his sea green eyes.

"Odin, just lately when aren't you hungry?" Lee Ren asked looking at his friend. Lee ren wore what appeared to be traditional robes of his home kingdom, green on the torso and black on the sleeves with grey pants, his calm dark magenta eyes radiated warm and wisdom, while his black and fluoro green streaked hair said otherwise.

"So why teh reason for the gloominess of this gathering please do not tell me that a death has befallen us, I don't think I could take another friend's death" Odin said
"NO one can Odin, Summer's death was hard on all of us" Lee said sagely

"Quite, quite. I just that my little Elenora is okay" Odin said

"We all do my friend" Crow said.

"INCOMING!" a voice shouted as students and teachers lined the air docks to wait for loved ones to come and visit them after a long period away from home

"Have you seen Ruby anywhere?" Pyrrah asked

"She's in the Garden of Heroes talking to her mother" Yang said as her parents approached

"Yang, sweetheart there you are" Aurum said hugging his daughter tightly

"Papa" Yang said cheerfully "Mum!" she exclaimed hugging Honey

"It's nice to see you too Yang, but it seems like" Honey said examining her daughter's chest

"THEY DID GROW!" Honey exclaimed

"MUM/HONEY!" the other two Long exclaimed

"There's my little bundle of joy" Odin said hugging Nora

"Hey Dad" Nora said Ursa Hugging her father beaming while doing so

"Ni Hao Baba" "Ni Hao Lie Ren" the two Ren males exchanged greeting before embracing "I've missed you my son, and Nora I have missed you just as much" Lee said smiling at Nora who was now giving a daughterly like hug to Lee

"Same here Mr Ren" Nora said smiling as Ren and Odin shook hands

"Blake, dear its is wonderful to see you again" Raven said enfolding her daughter lovingly

"I know mum, it's great to see you too" Blake said smiling as tears came to her eyes slightly

"Now Blake, don't become all teary eyed over your mother showing up at school to nag and nag you about studying, picking up your clothes and unmentionables and to stop reading those kind of books" Raven said side smirking making Blake blush crimson while her tawny eyes were wide open

"How did you?" Blake stuttered out

"You didn't think I wouldn't notice some of my adult literature missing nwo did you?" Raven asked hands on hips as her own topaz eyes sparkled knowingness back

"I um...er," Blake said

"Its alright dear" Raven said ruffling her daughter's long ebony hair

"Mum" Blake groaned

"Dad Grandpa, what a nice surprise" Jaune said as he looked upon inspirations bashfully

"ITs is alright" Jaune's grandfather Paladin Arc said smiling

"Agreed, however hearing how exactly you got accepting into Beacon was a little troubling" his father Aramis said

"Oh come off of it Aramis, at least he got in and has proven himself" Paladin said

"Yes I know, but your mother wasn't exactly happy when you said you wanted to be a huntsman" Aramis said crossing his arms.

"I know" Jaune said

"Jaune, I want to meet my parents" Pyrrah said appearing near the blonde

"These are my parents Sparta and Artemis" Pyrrah said as she indicated her parents

"So you're Jaune huh Nice to meet you" Sparta said shaking the boy's hand, Sparta was what most people could call a giant, six feet in height and built solid, he wore a Hoplite uniform with black jeans and combat boots. He was also where Pyrrah got her brilliant red hair from

"Yes it is so nice to meet you Jaune, and I take these are you father and Grandfather" Artemis said, she was basically an older brunette version of Pyrrah.

"I'm Aramis and this is my father Paladin" Aramis said shaking Sparta's hand before noticing a man in a cloak looking lost

"Ecxuse have you seen my niece?" Crow asked.

"Who's your niece?" Pyrrah asked

"You may know who as Ruby" Crow said

"Garden of Heroes" Jaune said

"Thank you" Crow said leaving

Ruby sat in front of the statue of her mother smiling at it
"There you are" Crow said making Ruby turn around

"UNCLE CROW!" Ruby said glomping her uncle

"Hello Ruby, wow how much like your mother you look like" Crow said looking between the statue and Ruby before directing her out back to the air dock where Honey just sighed as her youngest daughter walked up to her and hugged her

"Hey Mum" Ruby said smiling as Honey just held her in a warm motherly hug.

"Hey Ruby"
