I woke up the earliest amongst my team. Not long after Ruby awoke. She insisted on decorating the room. Well, more like she pressured me into doing so.

I couldn't refuse her.

Measuring out the total surface area of the room, I needed to know the limitations of furnishings and accessories. It has enough room to fit a table, a singular couch, maybe a little mini fridge near the electrical outlet. This has enough room to turn into a full sized house.

Although the beds do take up too much space.

"Ppsstt. Kyuushou," Ruby whispered into my ear. "Wanna wake her up?"

Yang and Blake woke up minutes after Ruby, but Weiss. She's out, still sleeping after she rejected joining in on party games with us.

"Ruby. I'll give you the honours."

"Really? Haha... jackpot!" She dashed out the room.

"Why did... Ruby dash out of the room?" Blake entered wearing her school uniform.

"I asked her to wake Schnee up. I fon't understand why she bolted out though." As if she was on cue, she came back with a whistle on a necklace around her neck. "Blake, I'd advise you to step back."

"Why's that?"

"I don't want Schnee to blame either one of us."

"Why would she..."

I motioned a point above my head. "Those."

She held her bow, before whispering into my ear. "She knows?"

"Not fully sure. But it's better to not take a risk."

"Right."

Yang walked up beside us, passing us a bag of chips from the game night last night. "What's my sis doing?"

"Waking her up." Blake took a chip and ate it.

Finally with the crowd of us three, Ruby blew the whistle on the sleeping girl. Weiss jolts awake, falling off her bed. "Good morning KYWR-B!" Her cape hit her face with the opened window blowing wind. "W-Wa!" She fell on her butt, "ow.."

Blake and Yang chuckled at the awful moment between the two partners.

Weiss patted her ears, "What was THAT for?!"

"Waking you up." I joined in, helping Ruby get up.

"Couldn't you just... woken me up like a normal person?! Didn't you ever think about that! O'rs why didn't you say that to her!"

"Oh no I endorsed her to wake you up."

"You—! It's not even nine!"

"I know. I've been up since 6." I said. "Well, I also slept the earliest."

"So? What's the deal? Spit it out." Weiss got up, still in her white pajamas.

"Decorating." Yang and Blake hold up their suitcases filled with luggage. While Blake's belongings spill from her case. "And maybe cleaning."

"Alright! Kyuushou. You have the lead!" Ruby said lining up beside me.

"C'mon Schnee... let's enjoy our time as a team. Maybe even like the past."

"You're taking the leader position as lightly as always."

"Hey, i-it's not like I ever got to experience a full childhood."

"So! Anyways—" Yang claps her hands to gather our attention, "where do we start!"

"I measured out the enitre room. Depending on what furnishings we want, this room could look like paradise. Rearranging pre-placed stuff like that table would allow us to place a nice television that's cramped in that corner over there." I point at the mess that we made from last night.

"...right.." Yang slurred her word.

"But I'll leave all of you with your own personal space for your belongings. Since I have some stuff." I hold out a plastic bag that was hidden under my bed.

"Where did you get those?" Weiss questioned.

"Uncle, asked my family to give him somethings to remember the family. So they gave him my old photos, and so he gave them to me." I show them a picture of a younger version of myself. My hair was shorter then myself currently. Ah, that smile brings back memories. Before my Semblance. Before mother left. Before my life became a cage.

Placing the picture on the desk that resided beside my bedside. The rest of my team looked at the pictures that I organized onto the desk.

"Hey. Who're these girls in this pic?" Yang grabbed a frame. The picture inside the frame consisted of a girl in a well dressed dress holding a bouquet while sandwiched between two girls. "The ones that are around you? Who are they?" On the left of the frame, was a girl with purple long hair tied into a ponytail. Circular lens glasses rested on her face, with her deep indigo eyes staring at the camera. Her lips were soft from our first kiss and her lashes still looked perfect at this angle.

I touch my lips with two of fingers, "that one's Miwa. Miwa Imai, while the girl on the right's Rie. Rie Himekawa. The princess of Ayster." Her hair in that one picture was set into a bun, with braids that circle around the bun itself. Her burning red eyes, were the first thing that I remember about the conference meeting back then. With her cotton white hair, blowing in the wind.

"They're so beautiful." I whispered, but everyone in the room head what I said.

"Oh? What's this? What's this?" Yang teased my while taking the picture away from my grasp. "So... 'Leader' tell us really... who are they? Two crushes?" Yang snickered.

"I-I... well, uh um.." I crawled into a small corner while the trio of Yang, Runy and even Blake, inched closer.

"Wives." Weiss split the tea.

"Huh?!" The same trio gasped in moment of shock.

"W-Wives?! Like m-Multiple!!" Ruby vigorously shook my shoulders.

"W-wait! R-Ruby! I'll tell! I'll tell!" I regained a moment of self control. "They aren't my wives."

The four sat on the beds while I was surrounded with the pressure of truth.

"Yet." I murmured that line.

"So." Blake asked, "two people? That's what I'm curious about."

"A-Ayuh! Ayster allows polygamous marriages."

"But the princess of Ayster? Like the super advanced civilization that beats Atlas in technology? Like your really something." Yang says.

"Yes. I'm getting married to both the princess and the descendant of the hero of Ayster." I revealed.

"U-Uh... Kyuushou." Ruby spoke softly.

"What is it Ruby?"

"I don't understand how relationships work but... if you're engaged.. shouldn't you be with them?" Her eyes turned more solemn.

"Well, all of us still text one another. But we've been doing things that are important that causes a big rift with person-to-person interactions. Miwa's busy with Haven and following the family destiny, while Rie... she's the princess, doing her work."

"Do you miss them?" Ruby and Yang asked in unison.

"A lot. But even a single message reassures me that they still love me. And I cherish that."

"Aww... you're simply an adult that's deep in love." Yang laughs.

"But.." Blake asks a massive question, "if you're from Ayster, then why do you attend our school. Same with that Miwa girl... sorry, lady?"

"Miwa's attending lessons under a special instructor that who understands the fundamentals and techniques needed to be a heroine of legacy. While... I'm here because.. I want simple answers."

"To what?" Weiss finally asked a question.

"I want to keep that a secret."

"Hey!" Ruby shouted pointing a finger at my face, "it's no good to keep secrets; you scandalous lady!"

"Sc—what? Ruby! Listen for a second. I guess my reasoning for answers... is to find what an ordinary life is." I white lied.
