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*
