[1 year later]
You know that feeling you get when you are so used to doing something, but now that you can't do that thing anymore you're kinda bored? I've been have that feeling for the past year and a half. Ever since Ruby, Yun Yun, and I saved Japan from Cinder's attack life has kinda been dull. Don't get me wrong I'm happy the world is safe, but I haven't seen any action for about a year. As time went on I noticed my powers started to get weaker and if I'm being honest that's for the best. A year ago I could defeat anyone and anything, but now I and probably break some rocks. Ruby suggested for everyone to meet in Remnant which we had to remind her that if Yuuta or I went back either of us could get our powers back in full. Eventually Weiss stepped up and planned some type of party to be held at our apartment, but unfortunately it's a bit small so we rented out my old high school's gym. Just as I was about to deliver the last invitation I was stopped on the street by a certain someone that tried to kill me.

Cinder stood before me. A chill went down my spine as I readied myself for anything she would try to do. I may not have much power left, but I will still find a way to kick her ass to the moon and back. As she got closer I felt a sad aura coming from her. I don't think Cinder is here to fight me. I think Cinder is here to make up with me.
"Rikka listen..." I cut her off.
"No you listen. You tried to kill my friends, my fiancé, and me so it's gonna take a lot more than a change of attitude and different clothes before I accept any apology you try to give me. I've trusted people in the past, but just got hurt in the long run. Give me one good reason I should trust you." I look at her with a scowl.
"I don't expect you to forgive me or trust me, but I do want to sincerely apologize for everything I have done to you and your friends. Over the past year I've been doing some thinking and with that thinking I've changed. I will wait as long as it takes to earn your trust." She smiled. I looked into Cinder's eyes realizing she's telling the truth. Cinder was treated terribly growing up and it led her to do the things she did. Salem corrupted her farther making it almost impossible to get to Cinder, but with the love of people who are willing to accept her I'm sure she'll become one of my closest friends.

The night of the party I decided to bring Cinder as a plus one, but as I expected everyone gave her a sour look. Ruby seemed especially unhappy and decided to confront Cinder.
"What are you doing here Cinder?" Ruby questioned.
"Ruby, Cinder has changed and I think you should give her a chance." I put my hand on Ruby's shoulder.
"Listen Ruby I'm sorry for everything." Cinder looked down.
"You know what?" Ruby smiled, "You deserve a second chance."
Cinder's face lit up with an innocent smile as she gave Ruby a hug. Obviously Ruby wasn't expecting it, but she ended up hugging Cinder back. As the night grew older the party ended about as fast as it started. Thankfully Yuuta thought to rent a few hotel rooms for everyone overnight. Before we knew it morning was blossoming and everyone was ready to say their goodbyes.
"Rikka you made Ruby's life more interesting and for that you have my undying respect." Yang smiled, "I wish we could have hung out more though."
Yang pulled me in for a hug. Weiss walked up shooing Yang away
"Alright Yang you're hogging up all the time we have." Weiss started, "Even though we never really interacted much you still managed to change my life in a way I never would have thought possible. Thank you."
I hugged Weiss tight then was greated by Blake.
"Blake you taught me how to use my powers and I am forever greatful." A tear dropped onto my cheek.
"To bad you can't keep them." Blake giggled.
"Well if I did I'd be in danger constantly." We both laughed and hugged. Now is probably the hardest goodbye I'll ever do in my life other than when my child goes to college.
"So." Ruby looked at me smiling.
"Ruby, you are someone I am happy to call my best friend. You pulled me through tough times and I am in your debt." Another tear trickled down my cheek.
"Thank you for being the best friend a girl could ask for. Without you I don't think I could have ever gone through the things I went through. You will always be the best thing that has ever happened in my life." Ruby pulled me in for a hug. Once we embraced each other both Ruby and I started to bawl our eyes out. Unfortunately it was time for Team RWBY to head off. Before they stepped through the portal each of them waved at us one last time. Goodbye Team RWBY I will always miss you.

The alarm I had set for 10 am kept pestering me while I was trying to sleep. I really don't wanna get out of bed right now stupid alarm I don't care how much you smell le bacon. Wait why do I smell bacon? I quickly hop out of bed then proceed to make my way into the kitchen and there I spot the cutest thing ever. Yuuta wearing a pink bear apron.
"Morning Rikka." Yuuta smiled, "Hungry?"
My eyes were fixated on his apron. Where the hell did he get it? Why is he wearing it now? Yuuta turned and looked at me.
"We didn't have any other aprons" Yuuta growled.
"Oh I understand." I tried to hold back my laughter.
"Well if you're gonna laugh at me I guess you don't want the post card you got in the mail?" Yuuta turned away.
"Wait what postcard?" Yuuta handed me a small postcard then bonked me on the head, "Hey!"
"You kind of deserved that one." He pouted. I kissed him on the cheek and hugged his arm.
"I love you." I smiled.
"I love you too." Yuuta kissed my cheek back, "so who's it from?"
The postcard was from team RWBY, but honestly I think it was mostly Ruby that wanted to send it. The post card reads:

Dear Rikka & Yuuta,

We were able to get back to Remnant safely. Once we got back Yang started trying to learn how to use the power of dark energy like you did, but I don't think she's making any progress. Weiss started watching all the shows you recommended (including the anime, but she won't admit it). I've been training with Blake on how to be a better hand to hand fighter. So far it seems to be going pretty smoothly. I must admit it kind of sucks not seeing you everyday, but maybe one day we could hang out again. Well this is bye for now, but always remember I'm just a hop, skip & a universe away.

Sincerely,
Team RWBY
