Okay, so…yeah. I took too long again, but it's because I decided to continue my other story and have been working on that a lot more. Anyways, I might do chapters in parts like this one so I can release chapters a little faster.

Here's chapter 9 everyone.

"Wait up, you two!" Yang called out as she and Blake had to run to catch the excited little heiress and just as excited cloaked rose.

Weiss turned around and saw Blake and Yang finally catching up, but the two were out of breath. "I'm sorry for running off like that, but I'm just really excited to try out an instrument."

Yang panted a bit and leaned down to ruffle the little heiress' hair. "It's all good, Weissicle. Blakey and I just needed to catch our breaths."

Blake spoke up. "While I agree that it's okay to be excited, please be sure to stay by our side, Weiss. I…I don't want you to be left alone for even one second." Blake said with a hint of guilt, as she still felt bad about what happened to Weiss on her watch.

Ruby noticed the tone in Blake's voice and said. "Don't worry, Blake. We won't leave her out of our sights, especially since there is four of us to watch her." Zwei barked to signal him being the fourth individual to be watching the little heiress.

The little heiress giggled and rubbed Zwei's head. "I promise I won't wander off, Blake."

Blake smiled and the team got into the airship to head off to Vale. On the way into the airship, Weiss looked around and wondered why some people seemed to give her looks. It made her feel a little uncomfortable, but she didn't want to speak up, since she didn't like the idea of bothering them about it.

Ruby sat down next to the little heiress and helped Zwei up. "There you go, boy." She then turned to the little heiress. "So, have you ever thought about what kind of instrument you would like to play, Weiss?"

"Um, well…mommy…mommy liked the way pianos sounded…so I wanted to learn how to play one…so she could hear me play the sounds she likes from it." Weiss explained which made the three freeze up a bit.

Ruby regained her composure and held the little heiress close. "Weiss, just like I told you once before, your mother may not be here beside you, but she is watching. And I know that she'll love watching you play the piano." Ruby smiled and rubbed her back.

Weiss looked up at Ruby. "D-Do you think she'll like the way it'll sound…even if it's not that good?"

Ruby nodded. "Of course she will. She'll be happy to see you do something you enjoy. And even if you think it might not sound perfect, your mother will because she knows how amazing her little snowflake is." Yang couldn't be more proud of her sister at that moment and sat down to continue listening. "And you know, singing while playing the piano is a great combination. I think you should try it."

"R-Really? Y-You think I can sing well enough to try?" Weiss asked.

"Absolutely! I would love to hear you sing, Weiss." Ruby smiled.

Weiss blushed. "O-Okay, if you really think I can, then I'll try. But you better not laugh if I'm not that good at singing…okay."

"I would never laugh at you for that, Weiss. I promise." Ruby assured.

The little heiress looked over at Blake. "Um…you wouldn't laugh either, right Blake?"

Blake let out a small smile for the little heiress. "Of course not and I'll make sure blondie here doesn't either."

"Hey! I wouldn't laugh at her even if you weren't making sure I wouldn't. I sang to Ruby before as kids and it comes from the heart. Something you never make fun of." Yang said in a serious tone which shocked Blake a bit.

"O-Oh…I'm sorry, Yang. I didn't think this was something that-." Blake was cut off.

"Don't worry about it, Blakey. I was just getting a little defensive about it is all." Yang turned to Weiss. "Now that you know we all won't laugh, you can be brave enough to sing." Yang smiled at the little heiress to be supportive.

Weiss nodded. "Thank you. I don't…I don't know if I'll be good, but I still wanna try." She looked down at Zwei. "Do you think that Zwei can play an instrument too?"

Ruby giggled at the question. "Well I'm not sure about that. He might be able to play drums, since he could hit them at the right times." Zwei barked in joy and Ruby rubbed his head. "He'll love being a little drummer."

The little heiress smiled. "I can't wait till we get there."

Some time had passed and the pilot landed. The team got out of the airship and began their little quest to find a music store around Vale.

"I hope it doesn't take too long to find one." Weiss said with worry in her voice.

Yang patted her head. "Maybe we can ask around to get some directions. That way we won't have to spend all day searching."

Ruby held on to Weiss' hand. "That's a good idea, Yang. Here, let's go ask that person over there." Ruby pointed at a Faunus.

They walked over to the Faunus and Blake spoke up. "Um, excuse me. Sorry to bother you, but do you know if there is a music store around here?"

The Faunus turned to them. "Hmm? Oh, there should be one about eight blocks down Bronze Street."

Blake nodded. "Thank you."

The Faunus stopped them for a moment. "Hey, before you head there, just try to be careful. A few morons tend to cause some trouble around those parts and since you have a kid and a dog, I would suggest steering clear of that kind of stuff."

Blake frowned at hearing that and was reminded of the other day again. "I-I see. Well thank you for the warning. We'll be sure to stay safe."

"I hope you all do." The Faunus said as he walked away.

Weiss looked up at the clearly upset Blake. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. Just be sure to keep your grip on Ruby's hand." Blake said.

The little heiress did as Blake said to do and tightened her grip on Ruby's hand. Ruby herself knew exactly why Blake wanted that, though kept quiet, since bringing up may cause more problems than it would solve.

They started their walk down Bronze Street.

"Ugh, all this walking is so boring. Hey, maybe Rubes can use her semblance to get us all there in an instant." Yang suggested.

"No!" Blake yelled which surprised everyone. "Ruby might end up letting go of Weiss during that, so absolutely not."

"O-Okay, Blakey…I was just joking around…" Yang said.

"Well…don't." Blake warned.

Weiss frowned at that and let go of Ruby's hand and took Blake's. "R-Ruby…Yang…can I talk to Blake?"

Ruby knew what Weiss was requesting and nodded. She and Yang walked a bit ahead to let the two talk in private. Zwei could tell something was wrong and followed Ruby and Yang.

Blake was confused by what was happening and looked down. "Weiss? What's wrong?"

"You're…You're upset. I can tell…please tell me why." Weiss pleaded.

The black cat was a little surprised that the little heiress was able to pick up on that, though she probably shouldn't have, since she wasn't being subtle about it. "Look…I just don't want a repeat of what happened to you the other day when I was watching you. This is a day of…well… fun."

Weiss smiled and tightened her grip on Blake's hand. "Then why are you being so sad? That day is over, so can't you be happy…please…"

Blake looked down at Weiss and saw she was genuinely happy, not even showing a hint of her thinking of how she got hurt the other day.

M-Maybe…Maybe I really need to just let that go already.

"Weiss…I'm sorry. I promise to not ruin any of this day anymore with my negativity." Blake assured.

The little heiress shook her head. "You're not ruining it at all. I'm happy you're here."

Blake let out a smile and started to walk with the little heiress. They made it over to Ruby and Yang. "Alright, we settled that…so no more negativity from me from here on out." Blake said.

"Awesome!" Yang exclaimed. "Now let's go to that music store. Weissy needs to jump on a piano and sing us an amazing song!"

Weiss blushed. "But…I still need practice before I can sound well."

"Nah, I bet you're a natural, Weissicle. You just need to get into the right groove of things and you'll be singing with ease." Yang assured.

"I-If you really think so, then I'll at least try." The little heiress said. Ruby felt Weiss hold her hand while still holding onto Blake's with the other. "This way I can stay close to two of you and Blake won't be as worried anymore." Weiss reasoned.

Ruby chuckled and looked to Blake. The black cat knew the look Ruby was giving her and smiled back. "Y-Yeah…This is better." Blake then turned to Yang. "Hey, um, I'm really sorry about earlier, Yang. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that."

"Don't think about that, Blakey. And definitely don't apologize. I shouldn't have been joking about that in the first place." Yang said.

"I…Okay." Blake decided not to argue on placing blame, so she kept walking with the little heiress in hand.

Back in Atlas, Winter had been preparing for her trip to Beacon. "Weiss…what are you doing? You know you can call me…or…maybe you don't. I haven't been that great of a sister…but I've been trying." She sighed and looked down at her scroll. "Just maybe not enough though."

Winter skimmed through some pictures of Weiss and thought about how she was resentful of her in her younger years. Winter hated herself for being that way to her sister and wished she could turn back the clock to relive that time of her life, so she can be the big sister she should've been for Weiss.

A soldier walked into her room. "Ms. Schnee? Is everything okay?"

"Huh?" She looked up to see the soldier. "Did Ironwood send you here for something? If so, please tell him that I am going to be very busy tomorrow and can't do anything he requests or orders."

"I'm sorry, Ms. Schnee. I was only here to check up on you. The General expressed concern about you not being as focused as usual." The solider explained.

"That is my business. And yes, it may seem harsh to say, but it is the truth. I am dealing with a family problem right now and it requires my attention." Winter stated.

The soldier nodded. "Y-Yes, Ms. Schnee. I apologize for bothering you. Would you like me to tell the General you are just in the middle of some family troubles?"

"No, cause then he'll try to contact my father. Just inform Ironwood that I'm dealing with a personal matter and that I will be back up to full speed when I figure out what can be done about it." Winter said.

"Yes, Ma'am." The soldier walked out of the room to inform Ironwood of what Winter told him.

Winter sighed as she went back to looking at her scroll. "Weiss…please be okay."

"There it is!" Weiss exclaimed as she saw the music store. "It's still open too! Do you think we'll be able to stay in and try the instruments?"

"I'm sure we will, Weissy. We'll just explain to whoever is running the store that we want to try out some of the instruments." Yang said.

"Do you think the person will let Zwei stay inside too?" Weiss asked.

"If not we'll have to hide him in some way." Yang stated.

"Dang it, I should've brought my bag with us." Ruby said, since she remembered how she snuck Zwei into one of their missions last year.

The corgi barked and looked up at the little heiress.

Weiss frowned and leaned down to pet him. "I don't want him to stay outside."

"We'll do what we can to get him in the store, Weiss. And if we can't, I promise one of us will stay outside with him so he won't be alone." Ruby assured.

"O-Okay, I guess that's alright then." The little heiress said and took Ruby's hand again.

They walked over to the music store and Yang stopped them for a moment. "Let me handle this for a second. I'll just check out if this person will be cool with us bringing Zwei into their store."

"Please convince them too, Yang." Weiss pleaded.

Yang couldn't help but smile at that. "No problem, Weissicle." Yang opened the door and walked in. "Hey, anyone here I can talk to?"

The store owner walked out from a different room and looked over at the blonde. He gasped and almost fell over when he saw her. "Oh no, I heard about you." The store owner backed away a bit. "You're the one who trashed Junior's club."

Yang rolled her eyes. "That was last year, so how about you relax. Look I need to know if some of my friends can try out some instruments."

The store owner sighed. "I can allow that, but don't you dare ruin my store."

"Fine, we won't cause any damage. Oh and…do you mind if we brought a dog in with us?" Yang asked.

"A dog?! You want me to allow you to bring a dog into this store?!" The store owner shouted.

"That shouldn't be a problem for the girl who trashed a club last year, right?" Yang asked with a grin.

The store owner sighed. "Ugh, okay, but that dog better not make a mess in here or cause any damage or you'll be paying for it all."

Yang smiled and turned to the door. "Thank you." She walked over and opened the door for the others. "It's all good. Zwei can come in too."

The little heiress grew even more excited than she already had been and walked in with Ruby and Blake. "Come on, Zwei. Yang said you can be in here too."

The corgi barked and ran inside, though the store owner didn't look amused. "Keep that mutt from dirtying my store." He warned.

Ruby nodded and kneeled down to Zwei. "You hear that, boy? You have to make sure that you won't dirty or break anything in here. Understand?" Zwei barked and wagged his tail, making Ruby smile in return. "He gets it."

"Good. I'll be in the back. Break anything and you buy it by the way." The store owner said and walked into the back room.

Yang stuck her tongue out at him as he walked inside and looked around. "Alright, what should we try out first?"

The little heiress looked around and saw a few pianos. "Ruby, can you help me up on the piano?"

Ruby led the little heiress over to the piano and helped her up on the seat. "Up you go." Ruby giggled and patted Weiss' head.

Weiss blushed. "Thank you, Ruby."

Zwei ran around and looked for some drums. Once he found a set, he jumped on the chair set up next to the set and pawed at the drums.

Ruby heard the sounds from Zwei pawing at the drums and chuckled. "I knew Zwei would like the drums." She turned her attention back to the little heiress. "What do you wanna try out first, Weiss? The piano playing; Or the singing?"

"I don't really know what would be better to start with." Weiss admitted.

Yang walked over and pressed a key on the piano. "I'd say start with the piano playing. That way you can have a good feel to how you wanna sing with it."

Weiss looked down at the keys on the piano and pressed one. When she heard the sound play out, she instantly wanted to press another. "I like it."

Yang ruffled her hair. "Have fun, Weissicle." She turned to Blake. "Hey, so what kind of instrument are you gonna try out, Blakey?"

Blake shrugged. "I don't have much of a preference on that, so I'll just try a few out and see if any feels right."

Yang nodded and walked over to a few instruments that were set up. She picked up a trumpet and tried it out, but as soon as she played it, the loud sound startled Zwei and he jumped off the chair he was sat at. "Oops…well I guess that isn't gonna be something I'll be playing." Yang then set the trumpet down and looked over at the guitar section. "Hey, Blakey. I think I found something you might like."

Blake walked over and looked at the guitars. "A guitar? I don't know about that, Yang."

"Oh don't be like that." Yang grabbed a bass guitar and handed it to the black cat. "Here, just try it out. You'll never know if you like or don't like something if you don't try it first."

Blake sighed and took the guitar. "Fine, but don't expect me to try much with this. I don't have any experience with this kind of stuff."

Yang picked up an acoustic guitar and saw the confused look Blake was giving her. "What?"

"I just thought you'd go with an electric guitar. Do you know how to play that?" Blake asked.

"I've tried a few times with this kind of guitar before. Uncle Qrow sometimes came back with a few souvenirs he got from his huntsman trips." Yang explained as she tried playing a little piece she remembered.

Blake listened to the blonde play the acoustic guitar and was absolutely stunned to hear her play it will. She could hear the sounds of the song she remembered Yang telling her about. It was one that she had thought about when she was little.

"I didn't think you'd be the one to play a version of that song." Blake said.

Yang stopped playing and nodded. "Same here, Blakey. In all honesty, I'd rather be the one to play it, since I don't want Rubes to get depressed about it…That song has some good meaning to it, but…it also has its bad sides."

"I understand what you mean, Yang. You don't need to say anymore." Blake said.

"Yeah…Red like Roses…it just felt like a good choice to try and play. I mean, just look at the lyrics. Red, White, Black, Yellow. All great because it matches us." Yang smiled, trying to have a more positive feel to the song. "I just wish some of it was a bit more…cheerful."

"Well how about you try a more upbeat song? I know you can find something you'd love to try." Blake said in a supportive tone.

Yang let out a smile. "I actually wanna see you try a bit of that bass guitar, Blakey."

Blake looked down at the guitar in her hands. "Uh, well what should I even try to play?"

"How about this one song?" Yang got her scroll out and showed her the title.

Blake raised an eyebrow. "Caffeine? That doesn't seem like something I would play, Yang?"

"So? Sometimes it's good to step out of the norm and just go with the flow. Trust me, just listen to the bass part of the song and I'm sure you'll get it in no time." Yang handed the scroll to Blake.

Blake sighed. "Fine, I'll try to learn a bit of it."

After about thirty minutes, Blake had stood up from her chair and walked over to Yang. "Alright, I'll attempt to play this, but if it sounds bad-."

Yang stopped her. "Relax, Blake. I don't want you to think about that. Think about the fun of it."

Blake took a breath. "Alright." She picked up her bass guitar and began playing the song, while putting it on Yang's scroll to play with it.

Listen up, strap in, notify your next of kin,

You're about to take a ride a little on the blazing side,

Guzzle down your Red Bull, you're gonna need a bucket full,

You're watching me accelerate and tear apart the interstate.

A certified monster I'm an absolute trip,

Like Otis Redding, hard to handle so you better get a grip,

A super-fast, superfly, bonafide wise guy.

Call the morgue and say goodbye, write your will; it's time to die.

Caffeine. I'm caffeine.

Caffeine. I'm caffeine.

Yang's jaw dropped when she heard the black cat actually play out the bass guitar part of the song well. She watched in silence as Blake continued playing. The black cat did in fact mess up a few times, but all in all she kept it up.

I'm a bad dream.

I'm a rad scene.

I'm a tad mean.

But I'm not afraid to take you out.

"Holy crap, Blakey." Yang said.

Blake blushed and finished up the short part she could do. "T-Thanks. I was actually surprised at how easy it was to pick up on, but I highly doubt that I'll be trying to play this any time soon."

"Aw, but why? You were awesome." Yang remarked.

Blake placed the bass guitar on the spot Yang picked it up from. "Let me work on being a huntress first, then maybe I'll jump on the bass guitarist lifestyle."

Yang chuckled. "Sounds like a great plan, Blakey."

Weiss looked down at the piano and frowned. "I don't know if I can do this." She said after trying a few times with the piano in the last thirty minutes. Most of her attempts consisted of one or two keys being played at a very slow pace.

Ruby sat next to her. "You know I'm here for support, Weiss, so you don't need to be afraid about it."

"It's…I just don't wanna disappoint mommy…You said she'll be watching." Weiss explained.

Ruby felt saddened by that and wrapped an arm around the little heiress. "Weiss, your mother doesn't want you to stress out over how well you play the piano. She's just happy to see you enjoying something you love."

The little heiress sniffled. "D-Do you know what I should play?"

"What does your heart tell you to play?" Ruby asked.

Weiss closed her eyes and thought about her mother.

Twelve years ago.

"Mommy? What is that song you sang?" The little heiress asked her mother.

The long white haired woman looked down at her daughter and smiled. "It was a song my own mother taught me many years ago, my snowflake. Do you want me to teach it to you?" Weiss' eyes brightened and she nodded. Her mother giggled softly and picked her daughter up, placing her on her lap. "Okay, sweetie, now how would you like me to start? The vocals, or the piano playing?"

"Both, mommy!" Weiss exclaimed.

Weiss' mother kissed her daughter's forehead. "Okay, my little snowflake. It's called All Our Days."

Weiss sat still on her mother's lap and waited for her to begin. She instantly felt something in her heart when she heard her mother play the piano to start.

Long ago, before we met.

I dreamed about you.

The peace you'd bring.

The songs we'd sing.

The way you'd make things new.

Then one day, you arrived.

I heard your angel cry.

Helpless, small, and perfect,

Welcome to your life.

And on that day, I made a vow.

Whispered and true.

No matter what, no matter how,

I made this promise to you.

I will cling, I will clutch,

I'll hold onto you, I won't turn away.

I won't leave, I won't go,

I will stay with you all our days.

Weiss felt herself tearing up, but couldn't understand why at the moment. She just let herself cry and held onto her mother's arm. "Mommy…That was beautiful."

Weiss' mother nodded and wiped her own tears away. "Thank you, my little snowflake. It's a song that I want you to understand more about. Do you…know what I mean?"

"I think so." Weiss tightened her grip on her mother's arm. "It means you won't ever leave, right?"

Her mother hugged her. "That's right, Weiss. I'll always be by your side. I love you, snowflake."

"I love you too, mommy." Weiss smiled as the mother and daughter stayed in each other's arms.

Present day.

The little heiress opened her eyes and felt the tears fall. "R-Ruby…I don't know if I can play now."

Ruby saw the tears and hugged her. "Hey, don't worry. If you don't want to, then you don't have to. And you know if you need to, just let it out. I'm here for you."

Weiss sniffled and thought about her mother's words.

I'll always be by your side.

The little heiress took a breath and pulled away from Ruby just a bit. "I…I think I'll be okay, Ruby. I wanna try to play again. I'm sorry for worrying you."

Ruby looked confused by the sudden change. "What made you feel better about it?"

"Mommy…she promised to always be by my side and you said she's happy to see me do something I love doing, so I wanna show her that." The little heiress placed her hands over the keys and closed her eyes.

"Weiss, what are you doing?" Ruby asked.

"I'm trying to remember how mommy played this song." The little heiress explained. She thought about it for a few minutes and opened her eyes. "O-Okay, I think I remember a little bit of it."

Weiss looked down and started pressing the keys in the order she remembered them. The piano part of the song was a little slow, since she was trying to remember while playing it, but it was being played with the same keys.

While Weiss was slowly playing it, Ruby was surprised. She knew the little heiress was going to be dedicated, but the way she was playing it sounded almost perfect.

The little heiress suddenly started to sing some lyrics of the song her mother taught her all those years ago.

As she sang in a soft tone, Ruby listened to every word. While listening she could only think about what the lyrics meant to the little heiress.

That…sounds like her mother singing it to her…before she was born.

The little heiress started to slow down on the singing. "I will cling…I will c-clutch." She sniffled. "I'll hold onto you, I won't turn away… I won't leave, I won't go." She felt tears fall, but Ruby allowed her to finish. "I will stay with you…all our days."

Ruby hugged her as soon as she finished. "It's okay, Weiss…It's okay."

The little heiress let her tears fall and she held onto Ruby as tight as she could. "T-Thank you for listening."

Ruby smiled and rubbed her back. "You were amazing."

Zwei jumped off of the set he was on next to the drums and ran over to the two. He barked which got Weiss' attention. "What's wrong, boy?"

"He knew you were a little sad and wanted to come over and cheer you up." Ruby explained with a smile.

Weiss pulled away and got down from the piano seat. She leaned down to pet the corgi and wiped her tears away. "I'm okay, Zwei." Zwei wagged his tail and he ran around the little heiress, making her giggle.

"You wanna go back home now, Weiss?" Ruby asked.

"Not yet. I want you to play something, you still haven't yet." The little heiress reminded.

"Oh, well I guess I could try to play the drums. Zwei, wanna help me out with that?" Ruby asked the corgi.

Zwei yipped and ran back over to the drums to wait for Ruby.

Weiss giggled. "He's really excited and so am I."

Ruby walked over with Weiss to the drums and brought two chairs over for her and the little heiress. "Nora actually sent me this song to me to listen to a while ago, so I'll try to drum out to this." Ruby got her scroll out and found a song to use. She placed the scroll down and hit play as she got ready to play along with the song.

The little heiress listened to the song begin and watched as Ruby waited for the part she wanted. After a bit of time and lyrics went by, Ruby began drumming to the part she waited for. Ruby made a few mistakes at first, but started to pick up on the rhythm.

The upbeat music was a surprise to Weiss and she looked in joy at how fast Ruby was playing the drums. "Wow, you're really good, Ruby."

Ruby smiled and paused the song on her scroll. "Thanks. My dad took me to a music store a couple of years back and I actually liked the drums. Uncle Qrow heard about it from dad, so he brought me a set. I didn't play it as much, since I…kinda got obsessed with weapons."

Weiss giggled. "I wanna hear more."

Ruby nodded and pressed play on her scroll again. As soon as she did, she had to jump right back into drumming. Luckily for her she had Zwei to hit one of the drums in the set. Ruby and Weiss giggled at that and the red cloaked girl continued.

After some time had passed, the team put down the instruments and walked over to the door.

"That was so much fun!" Weiss exclaimed.

Yang spoke up. "It sure was. And don't think I didn't hear you singing over there, Weissicle. You were awesome."

The little heiress blushed. "Y-You heard…Well, thanks. I hope I can play the piano again one day. Do you think we can come back here soon?"

"I don't see any problems with that, right guys?" Ruby looked to Blake and Yang.

"It was actually pretty enjoyable, so I wouldn't mind coming back here again." Blake admitted.

"You already know I'd be happy to come back here. So yeah, count me in if you ever wanna go again." Yang said.

Weiss smiled. "I can't wait!"

Later at Beacon, the three older members of the team were still awake, while the little heiress was already tucked in.

"Fun day and all, but we still need to talk about a certain big sister." Yang reminded.

"I know what you mean. Winter seeing Weiss like this might be dangerous." Blake stated.

Ruby hated the thought of Winter coming over, since she believed she might take Weiss away from them. "Is there any way to call her or something? Maybe we can have one of the doctors tell her that there's nothing to worry about."

"We talked about that already, Rubes. It won't work. We'll probably just have to come clean about it." Yang said.

Ruby looked over at the sleeping little heiress. "Then what happens after? She tries to take Weiss, then what?"

"Then we fight to make sure she doesn't do that." Yang answered.

Blake sighed. "What Yang means is we'll do everything we can to keep Winter from taking her away from Beacon. Ozpin did assign us as her caretakers, so that will be the first thing we explain to her."

Ruby sat down next to Weiss and pulled the blanket over the little heiress. "I hope everything turns out okay. Goodnight, guys."

"Goodnight, Rubes. Try not to think too much on this to get some good sleep tonight." Yang suggested and got into her bed.

Blake spoke up. "We're still a team, Ruby. Even with Weiss as a child, so you know we'll always help when she needs us. This is the same, I promise." Blake got under her covers and went to bed.

Ruby got up and turned off the lights. She walked back over to the bed and slept next to the little heiress, holding her close the whole night.

The lyrics were found on the RWBY wiki, so just giving credit there. More feels for the little heiress and next up will be big sister Winter showing up to find out what happened to her little sister. Oh and the song Ruby was drumming to is called Boop.



To Reyna- Yeah, with Winter showing up, anything can happen. As for that plan for Team JNPR to get in trouble, it'll be talked about next chapter.

To JJ- I'm really sorry about taking so long with this. Juggling two stories isn't as easy as I thought it would, but besides that, Winter is ready to find out what happened to her sister. And with how this chapter went, I'm sure you have an idea of how she'll be like.

To Tatya1999- It's okay, I've been kinda dealing with it recently. Anyways, yes, the little heiress is very cute, so I'm glad you're enjoying it.

To Sundragon- Oh yeah, she is. And same here, the winter is truly here now.

To the guest on chapter 8- Hope you'll continue enjoying it.

To Iron-Ninja- Yeah…It really has been awhile…sorry. I think you'll enjoy and worry about Winter's reaction. Next chapter…well…I'll see what I can do.

I hoped you all enjoyed the ninth chapter. Remember, reviews are welcomed, but not required. See you all in chapter 10.
