Man, I still can't believe the hype this story has gotten. Probably gets the "good genes" from Remnant's Reclaimer. :P

Sorry if this chapter is a bit short (relatively), I'm still not quite free from my Writer's Block.

As Ruby finally got to the door of room 202, she was met by JNPR on their way out in a hurry. Jaune gave her a sheepish look as he walked past.

"Hey Ruby, good to see you on your feet… ah… eh... Well, we should probably get back to ours. Bye Ruby." Pyrrha gave ruby a consoling hand on her shoulder as she passed with a smile. Ren nodded approvingly to Ruby while Nora waved enthusiastically.

And just as quickly as they had appeared, they were gone.

As Ruby stepped over the threshold, she could hear voices from inside the dorm room.

"Summer… I had forgotten how beautiful you were…"

"What the Dust Tai? Laying on it a bit thick, aren't ya?"

"Stuff it Qrow, I'm not doing anything! Old me is the one being a pervert!"

When Ruby came around the corner into the main room, she was met with chaos.

Taiyang and Summer were standing in the middle of the room, Taiyang embracing Summer tightly, practically lifting the diminutive 17-year-old off the floor. Summer was trying to hide a massive blush inside the hood of her cape in a way not too dissimilar from her future daughter. Yang stood off to the side, turned away from the scene, leaning on the wall looking like she was about to puke. Blake and Raven had a difficult time looking away from Taiyang's toned arms, both having a slight flush to their face. Tai was furiously trying to explain to Qrow that it's not his fault he and Summer had hooked up in the future.

What made Ruby chuckle however, was Weiss.

Cooping up in a corner on her bed, Weiss desperately trying to ignore what was going on in the room beyond her study book she was holding up in front of her face. Ruby hobbled over to the bed and sat down in front of Weiss's pulled-up legs. Leaning over, she pulled down the top of the book to look Weiss in the eyes.

"Hey."

"Your family is weird, please make them stop." Ruby kissed her gently on the forehead.

"Anything for you, Weiss." She turned to the rest of the room's occupants and put on her best "authoritative team leader" expression.

"Guys, Weiss is trying to study in peace here, could you take it down a notch or two?" Taiyang stared at his youngest daughter disbelievingly and absentmindedly let go of Summer.

"Thank you." Ruby smiled at her accomplishment.

After having received fresh Beacon uniforms from Professor Ozpin ("less conspicuous than having to walk around campus in combat dress all the time" he had called it.), the young team STRQ had been given temporary lodging in the dorm room two doors to the right of JNPR – placing the old STRQ dorm room of twenty years ago in-between the two teams.

"I'm guessing he assigned us this room intentionally, just for kicks."

"Really Qrow? It was rather obviously done on purpose. Who can tell with him, anyways."

"Oh stuff it, Tai. Leave the sarcasm to the Branwen siblings. It's an art form for us." Raven rose from her seat by the table and made her way towards the door.

"I'm going up to the roof for a bit of fresh air. There's too much stupid in here – no offense, Sum." Summer smirked.

"None taken. I'll babysit these two while you rest up." As Raven passed the two boys lying prone on the floor playing cards, she dealt a playful kick to Qrow's side as she stepped over him. His response was a melodramatic grunt of pain and a jibe.

A few minutes later, she was on the roof, gazing up at the constellations of stars filling the night sky. She traced her finger over her namesake The Raven guarding the eastern quadrant, from beak to tail, then from the right wingtip pointing north to the left pointing south. She stood in silence for a while, just looking at the sky, until a noise behind her pried her away from her thoughts.

"We never really did get why Tai was so obsessed with the stars…" Raven spun around and down into a combat stance, clutching at her sword, only for her hands to grasp at the empty air. Right, I'm in my school uniform.

"We did fill out the school uniform in all the right places though…" Meeting Raven's gaze was a woman clad in an all-too-familiar red armour, dust katana slung lazily on her hip. A moment passed.

"Hello Raven." The two women said simultaneously.

AN: Yay, non-platonic WhiteRose!

Finally we're getting some Present!Raven… been waiting for this moment. We can wait a little longer for that though.
