"She's been gone all weekend," Ruby was saying as she, Weiss, Yang, and Phoenix walked down the street. It had been two days since Blake had left, and she hadn't returned the following morning, nor the day after that. "I'm worried."

"Blake's a big girl; I'm sure she can handle herself," Weiss assured offhandedly.

"Weiss, come on. She's one of our teammates," Yang chided.

"Is she? We all heard what she said."

"Weiss," Ruby and Phoenix groaned.

"Maybe she is, maybe she isn't," Yang acknowledged. "Either way, she's missing, and we need to find her."

"Since when are you a motivational speaker?" Phoenix asked.

"Since today," Yang replied.

"I just hope she's okay," Ruby muttered, Phoenix nodding in agreement.

"Blake!" Ruby called.

"Blake!" Yang shouted out.

"Here Blakey, Blakey, Blakey!" Phoenix tried.

"Blake, where are you?!" Ruby called.

Nothing.

"Weiss, you're not helping," Ruby complained.

"Oh, you know who might be able to help? The police."

Phoenix groaned. "Not this again."

"It was just an idea," Weiss defended.

"Yeah, a bad one," Ruby muttered.

"Weiss, I think we should hear her side of the story before we jump to any conclusions," Yang agreed.

"I think when we hear it, you'll all realize I was right."

"You keep thinking that," Phoenix muttered.

"And I think Weiss's hair looks wonderful today!"

Everyone jumped.

"Penny, where did you come from?!" Ruby yelped.

"Hey guys, what are you up to?" the ginger-haired girl asked curiously.

"We're looking for our friend, Blake," Yang replied.

"Ohhh.... You mean the Faunus girl."

The three girls blinked.

"Wait, how did you know that?" Ruby asked.

"You guys never noticed?" Phoenix asked in disbelief.

"She has those cat ears," Penny agreed.

"What cat ears?" Yang asked. "She wears a... bow..."

Silence followed as a tumbleweed rolled past them.

"She does like tuna a lot," Ruby mused.

"Wait, Phoenix, how did you know she was a Faunus?" Yang asked.
