"Wow that is quite a wound you have there." Stella said to Maeve, as she begun cleaning the cut on her arm. Maeve winced at the pain of the disinfectant. "Sorry." Stella blurted as Maeve shook her head. "It's fine, just a little sting."

"I can't believe Davina attacked you guys by going through the vents.. I wonder whose weapon she took.." The pinkette trailed off. "I don't know, but I'm going to be keeping Wolverine on me at all times now." The fox faunus decided.

Stella begun to stitch the wound together, as Maeve sat as still as she could. "Talk to me, about anything. Distract me from what you're doing to my arm." The Lopez insisted. "Well uh.. how does it feel to be stuck in space with your brother?" Stella suddenly asked. "It must be nice.. I would have loved for Seylah or Nik to travel with me." The Valentine hummed.

"Actually being in space with Enzo hasn't been so bad. I thought it would be much worse." Maeve laughed. "How about being with Blake? Enzo told me you guys had bad blood." Stella added. Maeve sighed, "My twin is such a big mouth— we did, but it's all in the past. I'm really happy that we're friends again." The Lopez hummed.

Stella didn't want to overstep, but she could tell by how Maeve had spoken, that she wanted to be more than just friends with Blake. The pinkette decided not to say anything.

"There you go, all stitched up. Be careful not to cut the stitches open." Stella said, as she had finished with Maeve's wound. "Thanks Stell.. I don't think I'll damage them." The fox faunus admitted, though her tone came off as rather cold, which wasn't intended at all. "You would be surprised how common it is." The Valentine laughed nervously.

Maeve left medbay, stumbling into Blake in the hallway. "Hey, sorry." Maeve chuckled awkwardly as she greeted her best friend. "Hey Maevey, I was actually looking for you. I need to talk to you." Blake insisted. "Oh, yeah sure." Maeve smiled.

The pair wandered off to somewhere quieter. "Maeve, with all of the crazy events that we've dealt with in space, i'm worried that if anything happens to me or you, it'll be my biggest regret that I haven't been honest with you." The Belladonna explained. Maeve looked puzzled, "Honest about what, Blake?" She asked softly. "My feelings for you."

Blake's ears drooped as she blushed, "Maeve, I love you." She confessed. Maeve's eyes widened in surprise, before she blushed slightly, "You.. love me?" She asked, almost uncertain that she didn't hear those words correctly. Blake nodded sheepishly.

"I love you too." Maeve replied, a big smile on her lips. Blake couldn't help but feel a bit surprised to hear these words back.. she only expected to get her feelings out.

Maeve gently took Blake's hands in hers, before the pair shared what was their first kiss.

The night had been spent making and enjoying foods that Ruby and Ren loved. For Ren, Nora insisted on making ramen, and Yang suggested milk and cookies for dessert in tribute to Ruby.

Pyrrha, Jasper, Nora and Miles worked together in the kitchen, preparing the cookie dough, whilst the ramen was nearly ready to be eaten.

"I hate to ask such a question.. but what are we going to do about the bodies?" Leon asked, approaching Jaune. The Arc boy frowned, not wanting to think about it either.. they had just lost their friends. But at the same time, they we're staying in space for quite a while, they couldn't leave their friends bodies to decompose on the ship.
