My Little Schnee (RWBY X MLP)

Chapter 8

"I want to try." Those few words escaped Weiss' lips easily. If there was a way back home, a way back to her team, Weiss was going to take it. No offense to any of the ponies she had met, they were pretty nice from what little she knew of them, but this wasn't Weiss' home. Her family, her team wasn't here, Ruby wasn't here. Weiss didn't belong here.

"We would love to help you!" Twilight said, her voice a bit hesitant. Weiss narrowed her eyes as the smallest of the three alicorns spoke. "But the magic mirror in my castle can only open every thirty moons, and even then we don't know for sure if it'll lead to your world."

"It's worth a shot." Weiss sighed. Even if she didn't want to admit it, that was still a big possibility. She would do anything to find a way back home. Well, almost anything.

"We shall help you, Weiss Schnee." Luna declared. She stood up from her seat, using her magical aura to levitate a napkin to her mouth, wiping away the crumbs of her hayburger. "And you can remain here for as long as you wish, as my personal guest."

Princess Luna was a very generous pony, Weiss hadn't even known her a full day.

"Sunset Shimmer was the last pony to come from the mirror, about twenty-six moons ago." Twilight Sparkle continued speaking. "Which means we have about four more moons before the portal opens."

Weiss had no idea what any of that meant, but she took this moment to finish the last of her third perfectly cooked salmon. She was still a bit hungry, but Weiss didn't want to take advantage of the Princess' generosity, at least without a way to pay them back.

"We call our month's moons here." Twilight said at the end of her rant. Her cute lizard had fallen asleep by this point, snoring in his own seat.

"So I'm going to be stuck here for four months." Weiss' face felt tight, and her hands felt heavy. "Is there a way to make the portal open faster?"

"There is, but that would require a magical connection between our world and your world." Twilight spoke honestly. "Like a pair of enchanted journals, but then again, we have no idea if the human world the portal leads to is your world. And time does move differently between our worlds."

That meant that Weiss was most likely stuck here, but that didn't mean she wasn't going to try, with or without these ponies' help, if they decided not to help her.

"We shall do our best to return you to your home." Luna interrupted Princess Twilight before she could start another rant. "I know what it's like, longing to return home, to return your loved ones." She said that last part sadly, despite the smile on her face.

"Thank you." Weiss said quietly. Her mind was racing, hundreds if not thousands of thoughts rushed through her brain. While she hoped for the best, the huntress in her also had to prepare for the worst. But above all else, Weiss was going to survive.

Schnee's were survivors after all.

"We have asked more than enough questions for today." Princess Luna said out loud, carefully stretching her wings as Twilight finished the last page of her tenth journal. Spike was long gone, having left the room after his second nap to annoy the baker in the kitchen. "Weiss needs her rest, she must have a lot to think about."

"Of course, Princess Luna." Twilight said sheepishly. She turned her attention back to the sole human in the room, her intelligent eyes scanning the map Princess Luna had brought in. "It was nice meeting you Weiss Schnee! Though I wish it could have been under better circumstances."

Weiss looked up from the map. "Same here, your highness. Thank you for your time and answering my questions." Her defensive tone was long gone by this point, replaced by the politeness and manners that Twilight often saw in Canterlot's upper class. It made sense, given Weiss' position as the former heiress to the Schnee Dust Company back in her world.
