The next day, Grace came running to Glynda's house, the door burst open and Glynda jumped a bit, turning to her sister.

"Grace!"

Glynda sighed and took her hand off her weapon.

"I could have killed you!"

"Yea, right. But, anyway, I encourage you to change your mind about your.. choice in love"

Grace looked at James and cringed, Glynda crossed her arms and looked shocked as Cinder walked through the door.

"What's.. she doing here?"

"I brought her back, because we're going to.. have a ball! At my place, to help you end your little dilemma, I'm not taking no for an answer"

James glared at Grace, Glynda shook her head.

"Grace, I can't. I'm pre-"

"Present for the ball?"

"No.. me and James are having a ba-"

"Ball later today!"

Grace finished Glynda's sentence, James rolled his eyes.

"Glynda is trying to say she's pregnant!"

Grace cringed once again, handing Glynda an invitation to the ball.

"Oh my dear sister.. please, reconsider"

"Grace, I-"

Grace but her hand on Glynda's shoulder, using her semblance on her sister.

"I-I'll be there"

Glynda said with a smile, Grace clapped and walked out the door

"Wonderful!"

She ran off with Cinder, James looked confused.

"What was that?"

"She used her stupid semblance on me."

***

That night, Glynda and James made their way to Grace's house.. which was like a castle-

"Where did you get the money for this place-"

Glynda sled her sister as she looked around, Grace shrugged.

"Good paying missions. I'm surprised I'm still alive with the missions I've been on!"

She smiled and led Glynda inside, Glynda looked around and sighed.

"Look I can't do much.. so don't expect me to drink or.. do anything but sit."

"That's fine, this is for you to choose who you think is best for you, your options, Qrow, James, Cinder. Have a fun night"

Grace left Glynda by herself, Glynda sat down uncomfortably and looked around, watching the people pour in the huge ball room, dancing, drinking, talking, laughing, the part was buzzing, and Glynda felt like she didn't belong there.

"You want to leave to?"

Cinder asked, Glynda sighed and nodded.

"You didn't have to come you know?"

Glynda said and faced Cinder, who smiled.

"I know you hate parties, so I wanted to keep you company. I can get you out of here, unless you actually want to choose between people to grow old with. I say, fuck that. Your sister wants you to be happy, but she's doing it in her own way, and I'm gonna try in my way, we're having a movie night. No romance involved, no drinking, for more then one obvious reason.. just as ex's with no drama."

Glynda smiled and nodded.

"That does sound great"

She took Cinder's hand as they ran out of the castle, giggling like stupid teenagers, they were about to walk back to Glynda's house before they bumped into a pair of familiar faces. Glynda gasped and backed up a bit.

"Mom? Dad?""
