One Week Later

Jaune was getting worried, the girl's heartbeat and blood pressure were normal, why wasn't she waking up? Her temperature only needed to be brought down by the ice dust the day after they rescued her.

Pyrrha held Jaune's hand, silently wishing the best for the girl.

"Ugh" The girl moaned, causing Jaune to rush to her side.

"Pyrrha, she's awake! She's awake!" Jaune said, tears in his eyes.

"W-who are you? Where am I?" The girl said, "What happened? Why does my side hurt?" The questions poured from her mouth like a waterfall.

"I'm Jaune, and this is Pyrrha. You're at our house, because you were shot at a Faunus rights rally. Are you ok? Do you want some water?" Jaune explained, causing the girl to shake her head.

"So, what's your name?" Pyrrha said, Jaune silently praising her for being calm during this moment.

"I-It's Blake. Blake Belladonna." She said, staring at the wall, at the wedding portrait of Jaune and Pyrrha from the day before.

"Are you guys my parents?" She asked innocently.

"Wait, what? You mean..." Jaune said, turning to Pyrrha. "I think she has memory loss."

"No dip Sherlock!" Pyrrha said, turning to the girl. She had the perfect plan.

"No, we're your babysitters! Your mom told us to help you when she was sick." Pyrrha said, causing Jaune to sigh in relief.

"You guys are so nice to me, although I'm a Faunus. Why is that?" Blake asked, clearly unfazed by the disguises.

"Well, we're the type of people who treat humans and Faunus equally! Actually, Jaune sometimes dreams he's a monkey Faunus and he climbs up trees and stuff. It's pretty funny actually!" Pyrrha said innocently.

"Hey! Those are my dreams! I trusted you and you let me down!" Jaune faked death, before getting up and looking at Blake.

"Blake, we're going to go find- erm, tell your mom you're alright and get you back to her as soon as possible! Until then, listen to what Pyrrha has to say.

"Ok, I'll listen to Mrs. Pyrrha!" Blake said, a twinkle in her eye. "Hey Mrs. Pyrrha, do you have any books? I love books!" Blake said, silently willing Pyrrha to say yes.

"Why yes we do! Would you like to come look at them?" Pyrrha said, helping Blake off the table, and giving a thumbs up to Jaune, before disappearing behind the corner towards the library.
