Y/N POV

I look at my knee which is in a knee brace with metal rods.

Therapist: "You got this."

I use all of my might to bend my knee. It doesn't move which makes me groan in slight annoyance.

Therapist: "It's okay, you've got this."

I sigh relaxing. I then try again. A wide smile graces my lips as my knee slowly bends.

Therapist: "Good job. You're progressing well. Very well in fact. Far faster than what's normal."

Y/N: "What can I say? I just heal quicker."

The door opens revealing Noir and Blake.

Blake: "How goes it?"

Therapist: "Great. He's actually been cleared to leave."

Noir: "Bout time."

I grab my crutches and make my way out of the rehab building. Reaching the sidewalk I see someone smiling.

Glynda: "There he is."

Y/N: "Hey mom."

Glynda: "Ready to go home?"

Y/N: "Oh yeah. That hospital gets real boring after three weeks."

Glynda: "Well come on then."

Getting helped into the car we arrive back home. But as soon as we open the door I'm blasted by loud voices.

Voices: "Welcome back!!!!"

I look to see everyone with a banner above them reading welcome back. 

Y/N "Well this' a surprise. You're all here."

Ruby: "Course. We didn't wanna miss you returning."

Y/N: "Well I thank you all for being here."

Nora: "We made a cake!!!"

Yang comes by presenting a cake. I find it to read the same thing as the banner.

Y/N: "That looks so good. Let's dig in."

I sit on the couch as the kids surround me.

Gertrude: "What was it like being blown up?"

Y/N: "Not fun that's for sure. Also really painful."

Lucas: "Were you scared?"

Y/N: "A little. But in the end I was really happy I was alive."

Tria: "How're you even alive by the way?"

Y/N: "How should I know? Maybe Oum has some sorta plan for me."

Blake: "Or he knew we'd all be sad if you died."

Y/N: "That too."

*timeskip*

Today's the day, Christmas. As of the moment I sit on the ottoman eating.

Ruby: "Hey Y/N, remember that time you fell asleep in Goodwitch's and she called on you for the answer?"

Y/N: "Yeah. You held up a notebook showing what the question was."

Glynda: "I was wondering how you were able to answer correctly."

We all share a laugh.

Yang: "How about that time you snuck into Ozpin's office and switched his sugar with salt?"

Ozpin: "That was you?"

I avoid eye contact.

Weiss: "Man I remember that. It was extra homework for two weeks. Not that I was complaining though."

Blake: "Typical Weiss. Always being an egghead."

Weiss: "What'd you say kitty cat?"

Jaune: "Man I remember nicknames. More specifically Ice Queen."

Ren: "You're one to talk. Mr. Vomit Boy."

Nora: "Wasn't yours pinky?"

Ren: "I should've never had that pink streak."

Pyrrha giggles which doesn't go unnoticed by Yang.

Yang: "Been awhile since I've heard you giggle. Not since you caught Jau-"

She has her mouth covered by Pyrrha's hand.

Pyrrha: "He still doesn't know about that."

Jaune: "What don't I know?"

Pyrrha: "Nothing sweetie."

I smirk and decide to toss kerosene onto the fire.

Y/N: "That when you though you were alone in the dorm you enacted an entire imaginary date with a pillow version of Weiss. I'm surprised no one showed it at the wedding."

Jaune: "You videotaped that!?!?! Who all knows!?!?!"

Y/N: "Everyone now."

He explodes red as we all laugh at him. Meanwhile Pyrrha shoots me a death glare. Maybe that wasn't such a good idea.

Ren: *hiding laughter* "I'll be okay Jaune. We'll probably forget about it. In about twenty years."

Jaune: "Someone kill me now."

He tries to disappear as we continue to laugh at his misery.
