Last time

Antonio"Dolores, will be where she belongs, far, far away from my mommy. Finally I get to have her all to myself again"

Now

At the village square

Antonio"this sucks"

*We see Antonio sulking in the corner, since Dolores didn't sit down far away, she was right next to Mirabel, with those stupid earmuffs. As for Mirabel she was busy talking to Mariano, while Dolores just awkwardly stood there behind Mirabel, they were waiting for the children to come, and celebrate that there babysitter returned*

Mariano:so how was San jose? I bet it wasn't the same without me

Mirabel:tell me about it, not having to deal with woman asking you out, oh it was absolutely dreadful

*Mirabel said with fake sadness spilling out of her voice, Mariano rolled his eyes, leaning against the water fountain with his arm crossed*

Mariano:oh, I'm sure you were able to handle yourself without me just fine. How about you Dolores, did you like it?

Dolores:huh?! O..oh uh....

*Dolores scrambled, taken off guard that Mariano was talking to her, since while yes she had feelings for him, she hasn't talked to him, once.*

Dolores:I..it was fine, Mirabel took me to a lot of places, like the beach

Mariano:ah, i love the beach, you should see me swimming, I'm the fastest one out there, in my Speedo

*Mariano said with a innocent smile, that statement caused two reaction. A blush from Dolores, imagining Mariano in a tiny little Speedo, and Green In disgust from Mirabel, since she's seen how Mariano looks like, in one of those things*

Mirabel:yeah, she's not missing much, if what Elena told me is true, you are missing quite a lot Mr. 3 inches

Mariano:oh, haha. I'll have you know that your only hearing one side of that little story

*Mariano said frowning indignantly, Mirabel just snorted, knowing Gabriela wouldn't lie to her, so she crossed her own arms*

Mirabel:oh, really? Then please. Tell me your side, and if you use that whole it was cold excuse, I'm gonna know that your lying

Mariano:I was drunk, and it was indeed very cold, that might. Obviously my equipment isn't gonna work under those conditions

*Mariano said, as he and Mirabel kept talking about such a subject in public, and Mirabel keeping up with him like it was nothing special, just talking to her friend. Dolores on the other hand, couldn't believe her ears, at the very thought of talking of such things out in the open, the idea of her picture perfect Mariano, talking to Mirabel about such a topic, the mental image she had of him, was cracking. Since well, he wasn't perfect, he was a normal guy, who got lucky in the genetics department*

Mirabel:motion of the ocean? What the fuck does that even mean?

Mariano:it means, that....damn, the kids are coming. But this isn't over

*Mariano said with an annoyed smile, waving at all the kids, he felt as if he was shot in the heart, since no one waved back, they only cared about Mirabel. Mirabel stuck her tongue out at him*

Mirabel:really? Your not talking, I got the last word, it sure feels over

Kids:Mirabel!!!

*Mirabel turned around just in time to kneel down and be crushed in a group hug, of all the kids. Dolores noticed Antonio sulking and walked up to him*

Dolores;hey, little Felix. You doing ok?

Antonio:hmph...

*Antonio turned around and ignored Dolores, Dolores gave an awkward chuckle and sat down next to him, looking at Mirabel and then back at Antonio*

Dolores:ah, I get it. Mirabel isn't paying you that much attention is she?

Antonio:she used to, until someone came along

*Antonio said glaring at her older sister, Dolores confused by that statement thought about it for a minute*

Dolores:well, shouldn't Mirabel make more friends? She and Mariano, seem to get along well

Antonio:you just don't get it

*Antonio said, more angry, that she thought Mariano was the problem, when in reality it was her. Antonio being the literal little kid he is, didn't talk about the issue, he just got up and walked away, to be with his friends. Dolores sighed and went to find a place to sit and admire Mariano, i mean the performance*

Mirabel;ok, ok, I missed you all too. But I got a present for you little angels today, since it's Tuesday, guess who's gonna join me on a song?

Mariano:hey kids. Nice to see you all again

Marco:why him? You sing so much better then him

*A little kid said it as truthfully as anyone at that age can, Mariano's smile became a little more forced as internally his theater kid heart, felt as if it was stabbed. More and more kids started agreeing with Marco, making Mirabel smile shine brightly more brightly then ever, and Mariano to grow a depressed cloud on top of him. Till an idea came to mind*

Mariano;h..hey kid! I uh, I just remembered that I still haven't congratulated you, on doing a great job, with Camilo. So who wants some candy?!

*Mariano gave them all some candy, since he bribed them to act extra nightmarish for Camilo, Mirabel gave him an annoyed look*

Mirabel:they haven't even had lunch and your giving them candy?

Mariano:relax, it's just a little candy, they more then earn it.

*Mariano said with a bit of an evil grin, but more importantly, the kids were playing attention to him, mirabel rolled her eyes and helped him, divide the candy for everyone, she had and idea on what the well meaning himbo did, and she didn't like it. Once that was done both of them walked a bit away so the kids wouldn't hear the language they use*

Mirabel:god, your an attention whore

Mariano:and I will not apologize for it

*Mariano said with a big goofy grin, Mirabel snorted and pushed him playfully*

Mirabel:and I thought, I told you to leave it alone, camilo will get bored of his... Pranks on me

Mariano:yeah, that's never gonna happen. Your my annoying, less talented little sister, I would rather rot in hell, then leave alone, the way he treats you it's not right, and I won't stand for it

*Mariano said ruffing up Mirabel's hair, Mirabel huffed and elbowed him in the gut, Mirabel winced, since it hurt her, more then it did him. Mariano smirked a little*

Mariano: I'm not the best man in this village for nothing, I'm shredded. I even have that V thing under my abs. I haven't had pizza in years

Mirabel:do you miss it? The cheese, the sauce, the Pepperoni, the hot, hot honey....

*Mirabel said, getting a sick enjoyment, seeing Mariano start to sweat, a bit of drool falling from his mouth*

Mariano:every day, but that's not the point. I didn't spend 6 years going from Mariano the whale, to Mariano the perfect man, for nothing

Mirabel: hey now, I made friends with whale Mariano, i miss him. Perfect Mariano is annoying, that's what you are, annoying. Now come on, let's start, you have a fan over there, just dying to hear you sing

*Mirabel said signalling to Dolores. Dolores flinched when Mariano smiled and waved at her, she waved back albeit very shaky*

Mariano:another girl fallen for my charms, what a shame

Mirabel:yeah, especially since no girl has the equipment your looking for

*Mirabel mumbled, Mariano flinched and gave an awkward laugh pretending, he didn't hear it, Mirabel rolled her eyes*

Mirabel"of course the perfect man, can't be gay. No no no, perish the thought, it's not good for the Guzman image. I swear, I don't know who's more repressed, him or Isabela"

*Mirabel thought with a sigh both of them walked up to the kids ready to entertain them, while the parents are off at work. And nothing made Mirabel feel more important then seeing those children, unlike with Camilo, with Mirabel? They were sitting down, eating candy, waiting patiently and well behaved for Mirabel to start*

Mirabel:Yo que soy? Yo que soy? Que lugar ocupo hoy Soy tu amante, soy tu amiga, soy una desconocida Dime estando ella que hago yo en medio de tu vida.....

(What am I? What am I? What place does she occupy today? I am your lover, I am your friend, I am a stranger. Tell me when she is there, what am I doing in the middle of your life?)

Meanwhile with Julieta

*Did Julieta work all night making food? Yes, was she tired and her legs killing her? Yes, was she gonna need to make agusting carry her back home? Yes, but she actually liked that part*

Agustin:cariño, we can do this another time, you know when your less....

Julieta: shh! She already started

*We see Julieta and Agustín in the town square Hiding, they were seeing Mirabel singing and entertaining the kids, with Mariano*

Agustín:ah that Mariano, look how great he is with children, he and Isabela are gonna make great parents

Julieta:yes, but I'm here for Mirabel, not Mariano, so shhhh!!

*Julieta said again, and just smiled warmly, seeing her youngest, sing her little heart out, she just looked so happy. Julieta looked at her husband confused, on why he had his hand on her face, till she felt the wet tear falling down. Agustin gave her a loving smile*

Agustin:she has your voice you know...

Julieta:oh stop it, she does not. Her voice is better then mine ever was

*Julieta said softly, Agustin hummed hugging his wife from the back, both of them just watched there little girl shine*

With Isabela

*Isabela has a lot of pressure trying to be perfect, with that she needed moments to be her, secret moments to maintain her image, like what she's doing now*

Mariano:Yo quiero estar contigo
Para siempre te lo juro

(I want to be with you
Forever I swear to you)

Mirabel:Yo que soy? Yo que soy? Que lugar ocupo hoy Soy tu amante, soy tu amiga, soy una desconocida Dime estando ella que hago yo en medio de tu vida

(What am I? What am I? What place do I occupy today? I am your lover, I am your friend, I am a stranger. Tell me when she is there, what am I doing in the middle of your life?)

*We see her hiding on top of the rooftop, no one could see her and that's how she likes it. She was sitting down, smiling softly, with her head on her knee, just enjoying listening to her little sister sing. Her big dark secret, is that she loved hearing her sister sing*

News story

Name: the wheels of life

Fandom: RWBY

Shipping:ruby rose x Blake belladona

Cover picture:

Story description: Blake belladonna 25 years old, member of team IWBY, famous hunter known around the world for having a hand in Salem's defeat. one day her weapon, Gambol Shroud gets broken and in need of repairs. her friend and teammates Weiss schnee tells her of this weapon's shop she swears by and Blake goes only to find a ghost of her past from her time in the white fang

Author note: before we begin 2 changes:

1. Ilia is yang's half sister instead of ruby. And she's the one with silver eyes, while ruby is a dog faunus

2. Beacon didn't fall, team CRME failed in the vytal festival

*we see members of team AWBY in there shared apartment, ilia was looking for new Jobs opportunities, Weiss was on social media, yang was playing video games, and Blake was fixing her weapon, or trying to fix it anyways, it got damaged on there last mission and Blake's been trying to fix it ever since, Blake took a frustrating sigh when she couldn't do it. Weiss glanced at her*

Weiss:just pay someone to fix it, at this point I'll pay it for you

Blake:I'm telling you I can fix it myself. I just need....

*Blake said trying one final time and failing, almost stabbing herself wit the screwdriver. She gave a defeated sigh tossing the weapon on the table*

Weiss:you should take it to my weapon's smith, the rose shop

Blake:the rose shop?

*Blake asked with a raised eyebrow, before they could continue, yang jumped into the conversation.*

Yang:yeah, the rose shop, it's called that because it's obviously a flower shop. It's time to say goodbye to Gambol Shroud

*Yang said trying to be funny, as always no one laughed. And just ignored her, in the background Yang started growing a comically depressed cloud on top of her*

Weiss:it's a small weapon shop, my sister swears by it. I've been there a few times and don't let her age fool her, the owner knows about weapons.

Blake:you think that highly of her huh?

*Blake asked with a raised eyebrow, Weiss nodded and took out Myrtenaster from the side of the couch*

Weiss: absolutely, she's the one who was able to upgrade my weapon, now I'm able to use multiple elements in combat. Let me tell you I am thrilled of the results

Blake:really? She has to be good, if you let her touch your baby.

*Blake said, and bite down on her lip in thought, she glanced at her weapon, and then at illia who's gonna find a new mission soon, she really doesn't want to be left behind because she didn't have a weapon. She sighed*

Blake:Mhm..... Sigh, fine. Give me the location, I'll give her a shot

Weiss: terrific, glad you could see it my way, and you don't get to give it a shot just like that, she's a very busy person. You'll have to make an appointment, which I already did for you, you're expected on the 3rd of this month

*Weiss said with her usual arrogant attitude, Blake was about to complain but a small smoke came out of of her weapon. She sighed and sank down to her seat with a nod*

Blake:a warning would've been nice

Weiss:Blake I've been your friend for years, I know how long to wait till you eventually give up on something. Need I remind you that novel you've been meaning to make?

*Weiss asked with a raised eyebrow, the cat faunus blushed and looked another way mumbling something*

Weiss:what was that?

Blake:I said, I've just been having writers block...

Ilia:for 3 years and counting ?

*Ilia added to the conversation, Blake not needing to take this, grabbed her weapon and walked to her room*

Day's later

*Blake was in front of the building Weiss told her about, she looked at her scroll and then at the building, it had a small rose design, with bolts on the side of the rose, under it was the name of the establishment "the rose shop, the best weapon's Smith outside of atlas"*

Blake: bit of an arrogant claim but whatever

*Blake said with a shrug, she opened the door and walked inside, she looked around and saw weapons and weapons parts being displayed everywhere, in a organization fashion, dust crystal on the counter, boxers of what can only be parts at the other side of the desk, and cookies? Blake walked up to the counter and looked around for anyone, but saw no one. She saw a note*

Little note:I'm at the back, if this is my 3 a clock appointment just ring the bell, signed ruby ironwood

Blake:ruby, man that takes me back

*Blake said softly with a smile that didn't reach her eyes, thinking of her late friend. Well more then just a friend, but now is not the time for that. with a small shake of her head she rang the bell, she heard noises from the back*

Ruby:coming! Hold on I heard you! Don't go anywhere!

Blake:please take your time!

*Blake yelled back to help the woman calm down, Blake gave a weak chuckle feeling a bitter taste in the back of her mouth*

Blake"just because she's named ruby, I'm even thinking there voices are similar, my brain must hate me, well guess what brain I hate myself too"

*Blake thought as she took a cookie and ate it while she waited, she could hear the small curses of the woman at the other side of the door and she couldn't help but feel like it was terrifyingly similar to her friend ruby of years back, but that ruby is dead, or so she thought. The door opened and out wheeled out the owner of the establishment. Blake's eyes widen seeing a ghost of her past, someone she thought she would never see again after the incident, someone who should be dead*

Blake:r..ruby...

Ruby:that's my name, you must be client named Kitty cat? How can I....

*Ruby looked up and saw her customer and just froze. Blake could see the fear behind Ruby's eyes, and she felt sick to her stomach seeing the girl who used to be so cheerful look at her in such a way, looking at her with fear. Ruby didn't speak, she didn't hesitate, she repeatedly pressed a button on her chair. Blake took a step forward on instinct, it made ruby flinch, and look like she was on the verge of crying. But Blake was stopped by two cold metallic hands, next to Blake was 2 high end atlas knight-130, ruby pointed at the door*

Ruby:o..out, get her out of my store now!

Blake:r..ruby, wait a mi...

*Blake tried to say, tried to plead, but it was all left on deaf ears. The robots dragged her away and pushed her out of the store and into the ground, Blake looked up and saw them holding there guns, not using them, this was just for intimidation*

Knight: you are seen as a hostile target, please exit the area, this is your first warning.

*Blake heard, The robotic voices of the knights say, she got up and looked at the window, that were tinted, but she could almost make out ruby, she looked like she was having a panic attack. A panic attack that she caused. With a shuttering breath she walked away hugging herself*

Later

*Blake opened the door of the team's apartment. Yang looked at the door opened and smiled when she saw Blake, that smile quickly disappeared to one of concern when she was Blake puffy red eyes, and tear stained face*

Yang:Holly shit, Blake are you ok? What happened?

*Yang asked, very concerned for her partner, ex girlfriend, and now best friend. Blake didn't respond, she just walked to her room and slammed the door closed. Unlike Blake who respected when someone wanted to be alone, Yang is not like that, no. She's the opposite of that. She followed Blake and opened the door to her room, yang saw her sitting down on her bed her hands covering her face as she wept quietly. Yang walked up to her and sat down next to her, yang placed a hand on Blake's back and rubbed it*

Yang:hey, hey, it's all gonna be ok. I promise, I'll help however I can

*Yang said softly, a wet sound escaped Blake's throat as a response as she leaned closer to yang's warmth and just stayed there crying softly*

Later

Yang:here, I uh don't know if I got it right, but you seem like you needed it

Blake: thanks

*Blake mumbled, her voice a little horsed, she grabbed the cup of tea and took a sip. After crying for a while, yang managed go convince Blake to talk to her in the living room. Blake placed the cup down giving s small gag*

Blake:it's awful, but still thank you...

Yang:hey it's my pleasure. So please, tell me what's wrong?

*Yang asked sincerely, she placed her hand down too of Blake's hand for support. Blake sighed and nodded appreciating yang's physical comfort*

Blake: I.... I went to the shop, Weiss recommended me, and... And I saw the weaponSmith.

*Blake's face took on a pained face, Ruby's scared expression still in the forefront of her mind, and not making any effort to leave any time soon*

Blake:she...she was someone from my past....my white fang past...

Yang:shit, did he hurt you? If he did I swear that

*The squeeze Blake gave yang was enough to shut her up, Blake didn't meet her gaze as she kept looking down at the hot leave juice*

Blake:she didn't hurt me, it's the opposite. I hurt her, I hurt her badly when I was in the white fang, do the point i thought she was dead

*Blake said softly, yang sat back down and waited for Blake to follow up on that, Blake licked her lips and took a shuttering breath*

Blake:what I'm about to tell you, I haven't told anybody. Not even my parents....

Yang:I won't tell anybody I swear

Blake:....ruby and me grew up together....

*Blake began her tale of her shared history with the rose, a history of happiness, crushes, begging and in the end the wrong choices made.*

A story that we'll be continued on the next chapter of the wheels of life on the 24th
