It had been about two months since the WBY's and the WGC's trip to the alternate reality, and both groups were finally starting to get back on friendly terms with Ruby Rose. It had been very difficult, to say the least, since the young team leader didn't exactly believe their explanation of alternate versions of them being the cause and everything. Ruby had been very clear with how angry she was with her teammates and the three women, and it took a lot of work to get that anger to die down.
After about a month of trying to make things right, the sniper had finally calmed down enough that she could stand to be around the six older ladies. From that point on, each of the six ladies had started to build back the relationships they had with Ruby, one step at a time. The work was hard and progressing slowly, but both the WBY and WGC felt that it was more than worth it.
It was during this time that the WBY would learn of what they would call their ''opportunity of a lifetime.'' It was Friday and the three older girls of team RWBY were heading towards their dorm after finishing their last classes. The three girls were once again arguing over who had the best chances with their team leader.
''I'm telling you two that when it comes to winning Ruby, I'm the one who is closest to that goal out of all of us!'' Weiss said with a cocky smirk. ''Thanks to me being her partner, she knows that we need to have a good relationship between us! She is such a responsible leader that she is personally going to make sure that we get on good terms again! That's when I'll win her for myself!''
''Oh, so you're just going to be sitting on your ass while Rubes does everything? You really are a spoiled princess, aren't you?'' Yang mocked her teammate with a smirk.
''What!? NO! That's not what I mean!'' the heiress quickly said angrily with a blush on her face. ''What I mean is that despite whatever you two try to do to get back to her good side, I will always have the best chances with her! It's just common sense!''
''Well your pampered, tiny mind is far from common, if that's what you think!'' Blake said with a glare directed at her teammate. ''When you really think about it, I'm the one with the best chances to not only get back on her good side, but to also claim her love!''
''And just what on earth makes you think that!?'' Weiss asked while fuming.
''Ruby is the kindest soul this world has ever known, and she knows about my harsh past and all the bad things I had to go through,'' the cat faunus explained. ''She would never be able to live with herself, if she ever risked leaving me all alone to face my past. I know that Ruby will do everything she can to make sure that she stays my friend and that I won't have to face my past on my own.''
''Relying on pity is pretty lame, kitty cat,'' Yang said, causing her partner to fume.
''Then how are YOU supposed to be the one that has the best chance of claiming her!? You tell us that!'' Blake yelled angrily.
''Oh, that's so easy. We grew up together like sisters, remember?'' the blonde said with a smirk. ''I'm her number one best friend and sister all rolled into one. No way would Rubes ever even dream about breaking the bond between us. I'm just way too important for her to do that.''
''You're just using the fact that you two grew up together as an excuse! No way does that work!'' Weiss shouted angrily while pointing at the brawler.
''Well it's a lot better than your lame theories!'' Yang shouted back at her teammates.
''What was that!?'' the heiress said angrily.
''You take that back!'' Blake demanded.
The three girls were about to start throwing punches at each, when they saw Ruby walking in the distance. The WBY also noticed that their team leader seemed to be deep in thought, like something was bothering her. The three girls immediately all had the same idea going through their minds.
