Reunion

6

Bronya opened her eyes to find herself, sitting on a cold bench in Beacon's garden at night. The streetlights were off for some reason, but the broken moon was enough to illuminate the area for the girl. But what intrigued her the most, was the sound of musical notes of a piano. After listening to it for a few seconds, she finalized that it is Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven, played with no errors or mistakes whatsoever.

She decided to get back up to her feet, and seek out to whoever is playing. After working around the garden and hearing the musical notes getting louder and louder, Bronya arrived at the fountain, with her eyes dilated over what she saw. In front of her was a black haired girl with purple highlights and ocean blue eyes, wearing a white dress with a flower corsage clipped onto the left side of her clothes. Bronya just stood there in silence watching the girl play the piano elegantly until the finale.

After a few moments of silence, the white haired girl finally spoke up. "Seele...?" The pianist looked up from the keys and made eye contact with Bronya, slowly forming a soft smile. "Big sis Bronya..."

Bronya felt tears slowly forming on her eyes and sprinted forward, tackling Seele into a hug as their surroundings slowly broke down into a white void. "I've missed you, Seele..." She mumbled as Seele wrapped her arms around Bronya. "I've missed you too, Big Sis..."

--------------------------------------------------------------

Bronya lets out a groan and opened her eyes as she sat up on her bed. The sheets that once covered the top part of her body now fell and piled up on her lap. "Seele..." The girl mumbled as she reminisced over the memories she had made with Seele. The day she taught Seele how to swim on the beach, celebrating their respective birthdays, Halloween, Christmas, and many more in that little orphanage back at Mistral. 'Seele... what does the Bronya have a o do to bring you back?'

"Bronya?" She instantly looked up and turned to who spoke her name, only to find out that it was her leader, Fu Hua. "Class Monitor. Good morning." Bronya greeted, earning a smile from the older girl. "Morning, Bronya." The girl got out of bed and did a quick stretching session, before going to the bathroom. After a quick and refreshing shower, Bronya saw her fellow leader chuckling while texting on her scroll. It was quite obvious to guess who she was talking to. "Class Monitor?" Fu Hua looked up from the device and blinked. "What is it, Bronya?"

"The Bronya wants to apologize for restraining Class Monitor yesterday. The Bronya will accept any form of punishment." Bronya said, bowing down in front of Fu Hua and making her chuckle. "It's okay, Bronya." She reassured the girl, patting her head.

"Anyways, do you have any plans today?" She shook her head. "Alright. My friend, Jaune, wanted to introduce me to his team, and I was thinking about introducing you and the others too. Do you want to come with me?" Bronya took a few moments to ponder about this. The Vytal Festival Tournament is going to begin in a few months, so this might me useful for gathering information regarding her potential opponents.

"The Bronya agrees to accompany Class Monitor to the Meeting Mission."

--------------------------------------------------------------
"This is so exciting!" Nora exclaimed while hopping around on her bed. "We're gonna meet Fearless Leader's girlfriend in person!" Then she did a flip, before landing on her back. "N-Nora! She's not my girlfriend!" Jaune protested with a small tint of pink on his cheeks.

"Nora, that's enough." Ren spoke up sternly, chastising her while wiping the blades of Storm Flower with a cloth. Pyrrha however, simply stayed quiet as she was leaning on the wall while sitting on her bed. 'We're finally going to meet her...Maybe Jaune is interested in-'

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of someone knocking on the door. "Coming!" Jaune immediately got up from his desk and went to open the door. "Fu Hua! Come in!" The blonde moves out of the way to let four girls enter their dorm.

First, was Fu Hua, wearing a different outfit she used when they first saw her.
She now wore a beige long sleeved shirt with a bit of brown colour separation in the shoulders, as well as brown suspender shorts with grey socks and brown boots. "I believe Jaune had told you three about me already, but I'll introduce myself regardless. My name is Fu Hua, and I am the leader of team HKBR (Hawkesbury)." She greeted and bowed down to team JNPR, before stepping to the side to introduce her teammates. "This is my partner, Raiden Mei."

A tall girl with thigh length black hair stepped forward. Half of her hair was tied into a ponytail while her outfit consisted of a beige sweatshirt and black long skirt under a blue coat that was left unbuttoned as well as black socks and shoes. Mei gave them a warm smiled and bowed. "My name is Raiden Mei, and I am very pleased to meet you all." She greeted politely. Pyrrha's eyes narrowed down to Mei, scanning her figure.

"Wait a minute... Aren't you the heiress to the ME corporation?" The Spartan's words made the tall girl blink, before her smile returned. "Yes. Yes, I am." Then she moves aside for her next teammate's introduction.

Next, a relatively short girl that was a bit shorter than Ruby, stepped forward. Her white hair was tied into drill styled pigtails that was held with brown bow ties, while her clothes were a white long sleeved shirt and navy blue suspender skirt with brown socks and yellow monster slippers. And in her hands was a yellow monster doll, similar to her slippers.

"Name, Bronya Zaychik." She said in a monotone and blank voice, with no emotions on her face, making her seem like some sort of android. But then she back up a bit for her partner, who is also the last member of team HKBR.

The other white haired girl of the team stepped forward with a grin. Her hair was tied into twin braids along with a cowlick on her head. Her clothing consisted of a white sweater with brown suspender shorts and grey socks with brown boots, similar to Fu Hua. "Heyo! I'm Kiana! Kiana Kaslana!" She chirped.

Team JNPR quickly introduced themselves to the girls, before they all settled down. Kiana and Nora had challenged each other into an arm wrestle, with neither of them taking the advantage for nearly two minutes.

Meanwhile, Ren and Pyrrha had a formal conversation going with Mei, talking about her being the heiress to the largest commercial electrical appliance company in the world. Unbeknownst to all of them, the leaders from both teams had left the room and snuck out to the gardens.

They didn't say a single word to each other until they stepped outside and sat down on a bench. "Hey...Fu Hua?" She perked up and looked at Jaune, to see him looking at the ground, fidgeting with his fingers. "Yes?" "Do you... remember that promise that we made when we were kids?"

Fu Hua smiled and chuckled as the memory returned to her mind. "Of course I did. We made a promise together that we would always be together, even though we are half a world away from each other. Was that the promise you were talking about?"
"Yeah..." He murmured.

"You see..." She looked up to the starry night. "You were...one of the main reasons why I wanted to be a huntress. To protect my friends and family. Ever since I left Ansel for Haven... I never forgot about you."

Fu Hua was about to continue, but then Jaune looped an arm around her waist and pulled her close. She smiled softly and rested her head on his shoulder, and felt him resting his head on top of hers.

They stayed on that bench for a long time, simply soothed by the other's presence.

Sorry for the long wait!
