Rose in Autumn: Glimpse of Summer: Part I/II
Pyrrha: Hello, again.
* * *
Jaune and Ruby: *startled awake*
Jaune and Ruby: *look around their bedroom*
Jaune: Was that?..
Ruby: Pyrrha?..
Jaune: There was... a cliff?
Ruby: That's where mom...
Jaune: Isn't tomorrow?.. today?
Ruby: When mom died...
* * *
The summer sun barely crested the horizon early in the morning as Jaune and Ruby stood over the grave.
Ruby: Mom...
Jaune: I can feel something?
Ruby: Jaune... you're scaring me...
Jaune: It feels... like... an aura...
Ruby (nervously): Jaune?..
Jaune: *walks up beside the grave*
Ruby (frighened): Jaune...
Jaune: *places his left hand on the headstone and right hand on the grave*
Jaune: *amplifies the aura he felt*
* * *
Jaune and Ruby: *look around as the swirling energies form... Beacon?*
Pyrrha (cheerfully): Hello, again!
Jaune: P... Pyr...
Ruby: PYRRHA!
Pyrrha: *pulls both of them into a hug*
Pyrrha: How I have missed you!
Ruby: what?.. I mean...
Jaune: . . .
Pyrrha (cheerfully): How have you been?!
Ruby: Oh-my-god!
Jaune: . . .
Pyrrha: *kisses Jaune on the cheek*
Ruby: wait-wait-wait
Pyrrha (evasively): Yes?
Ruby: He's mine... I mean... we are... I mean... Jaune?..
Jaune: PYRRHA?!
Ruby: That's not what I... but...
Ruby: *breathes deep*
Ruby: How?!
Jaune: The aura?! It was Pyrrha's?!
Pyrrha: Yes, and no. I joined our auras so we could be here together.
Jaune: Who?
Summer: *appears beside and behind Pyrrha*
Ruby: Mom?!
Jaune: Summer Rose?!
Ruby: Mom?!
Summer: Ruby. And I get to meet my son-in-law.
Jaune: You know?
Ruby: How did you?..
Summer: Pyrrha filled me in. She told me all about your adventures.
Ruby: How did?..
Jaune: You've been with us?!
Pyrrha: I'm sorry... I just... loved watching you two together...
Jaune: Wha?..
Ruby: You don't need to apologize.
Jaune: I'm still shocked.
Pyrrha: *kisses Jaune on the lips*
Ruby: Hey!
Pyrrha: I'm sorry.
Ruby: I thought you knew...
Pyrrha: This just might be the last time I can do this.
Pyrrha: *bows*
Pyrrha: I'm sorry...
Ruby: I guess... that... you did...
Ruby (to Jaune): Say something.
Jaune: *babbles*
Summer: *holds her hand out to Jaune*
Jaune: *nervously grabs her hand*
Summer: *pulls Jaune in for a hug*
Summer: Thank you so much for taking care of my daughters.
Jaune: *babbles*
Ruby: Mo...
Summer: Perhaps we need to find some place to relax. Why don't you show me to your dorm room?
Jaune: This... isn't really Beacon, is it?
Summer: It is and it isn't.
Jaune: It looks like Beacon.
Summer: Down to the smallest detail.
* * *
Summer: I remember this room?
Ruby: This is our room?
Summer: It was ours as well. Oh, the things we got away with, here...
Pyrrha: And here's our room.
Summer: Across from each other, like it was meant to be.
Pyrrha: Well, we can't all be on the team with our...
Pyrrha: *sighs*
Jaune: Pyrrha?!
Jaune: *grasps her to make sure she doesn't fall over*
Ruby: *glares at Pyrrha*
Summer: And what is that about?
Ruby: I think she's trying to make her move.
Pyrrha: I'm sorry. It's just so wonderful to be with him, again...
Ruby: I guess I can understand that.
Summer: So, Ruby, which room did you want to relax in? Your teams, or that of your husband?
Ruby: I don't...
Jaune: Let's go into RWBY's.
Ruby: *shrugs her shoulders and opens her door*
* * *
Ruby: *walks up to her bed*
Ruby: This is my bed, and this is Weiss'.
Summer: Tell me about her.
Ruby: She's very... specific.
Jaune: That's one word for it.
Ruby: She nags because she cares.
Jaune: And she cares a LOT.
Pyrrha: *snickers*
Pyrrha: I'm sorry, but that was just too funny. Especially because Weiss did care quite a good deal.
Jaune: Her father did a lot of... evil... and was working to make up for it.
Pyrrha: She was often mistakenly called an ice queen. But she was quite the passionate little one.
Ruby: *snickers*
Pyrrha: You were both adorably sized.
Jaune: *nods*
Jaune: They still are.
Ruby: *pokes Jaune*
Jaune: *wraps his arm around Ruby's shoulder and pulls her in*
Jaune: *looks at Summer*
Jaune: Oh, sorry...
Summer: *giggles*
Summer: Oh, that takes me back, as does this room. Hard to believe we had the same room.
Jaune: Not when you learn Oz was apparently planning all of this...
Summer: I'm just happy we could all be together.
Summer: *climbs up onto Ruby's bed, holding her hand to Ruby*
Ruby: *climbs up to her bed, alongside her mother*
Ruby: I still can't believe we ended up in the same room.
