RWBY Watches Classic Movies

Chapter 14: Intermission

Chapter 14- Intermission

Team RWBY was chatting amongst themselves about the movie as they exited the theater to grab more sodas, popcorn, candy, and -to everyone's surprise and Ruby's delight- cookies of several different varieties. Blake, meanwhile, zipped over to the sushi bar at speed to rival Ruby's.

Having followed them out, Winter tapped her sister on the shoulder. "Excuse me, ladies," she said, "May I borrow my sister for a few moments?"

"Weiss?" Ruby asked a little nervously.

"Don't worry Ruby, it's fine." She assured her leader, "I was expecting this. Go ahead without me, but be sure to get my snacks."

"Diet Pepsi, medium popcorn, and Sour Skittles. I remember."

"Good, and Yang?"

"Yeah, Weiss-cream?" the blonde brawler replied, using one of her least favorite nicknames.

"No more than three cookies." The ex-heiress said, pointing at Ruby.

"Awww, c'mon!"

"Three, Ruby. We've seen what happens when you have too many and I will not have you bouncing off the walls in there."

Winter walked with her sister over to the entrance so they could have some extra privacy. "Sour Skittles?" she asked with a quirked eyebrow.

"What?" Weiss said, crossing her arms over her chest in her signature pose, "Since I went to Beacon, I have learned much about myself, such as the fact that I find salty and sweet go very well together."

"If you say so, sister. Now, explain your attitude towards our brother."

Weiss's smile fell. This wasn't a topic she was exactly comfortable with, especially after that movie. "How much do you know?" she asked.

"Very little. I left for Mistral shortly after you arrived home after the Fall. When I was brought here, I was on my way back to Atlas. Mr. Logan was good enough to catch me up on the last few days of you and your team's exploits. I must say I'm impressed, both with your decision to leave, and your actions in defense of Haven."

"So, you don't know why I left?"

"No, would you mind starting there?"

"There was a gala one night. A 'charity fund-raiser for Beacon' organized by Father. He asked me to sing- though ask is a very generous term- and I was basically obligated to attend the gala afterwards. I lost my temper. Accidentally summoned Mr. Pig, who then attacked one of the attendees. Would have killed her if General Ironwood hadn't dealt with him and defended me. Father stripped me of my inheritance, gave it to Whitley and placed me under house arrest. I spoke with Whitley afterwards and he basically confirmed that he was behind Father's decision."

"Mr. Pig?" Winter said with a grin.

"A boarbatusk I killed in one of my classes. I have so many summons now that I've taken to naming them, okay?" Weiss responded to her sister's teasing as she expected.

"So, you hold a grudge against Whitley for freeing you from your burden. Am I understanding this correctly?"

"Well, yes, but the inheritance was more than a burden to me, it was goal. I had dreamed of becoming a Huntress and then the head of the SDC to restore dignity to our family name, a name our Father married into for power and has since dragged through the mud. Whitley single-handedly crushed my dream, but he also freed me from the burden, allowing me to improve and grow."

"And our brother's death scene? How did that make you feel?"

"Disgusted with myself. I may hate Whitley, but he is still my brother, so when I felt a tinge of joy at seeing him get eaten..." She cried softly as Winter pulled her into a hug.
