[Atlas]
Ruby: "It was nice of your mom to let us spend the weekend here Weiss."
Weiss: "It's nice that my mom is actually doing things again. I really can't thank Topaz enough for helping us like he did."
Blake: "Would you mind if I looked around your library while we are here? I've been through the few books I have on me too many times, and would like to find something new."
Weiss: "Sure Blake, my mom used to be big on anything Romance, so you might find something interesting."
Yang: "Is your mom a pun kinda gal?"
Weiss: "Yang… what does that even mean?"
Yang: "I'm just wondering if she will get upset for be Yanging out, ya know?"
Weiss: "Please no."
Yang: "You can't stop me."
As team RWBY walks into the Schnee Mansion, the four girls are quickly greeted by Klein. Weiss rushes up to him and gives him a warm hug, which he happily returns.
Klein: "Welcome home Miss Schnee, I trust your trip over was uneventful?"
Weiss: "It's good to see you again Klein. The trip went smoothly."
Klein: "You must be Miss Schnee's teammates. I am Klein, the butler of the Schnee Mansion."
Ruby: "It's nice to meet you Klein, I am Ruby Rose."
Yang: "I'm Yang Xia Long."
Blake: "And I am Blake Belladona."
Klein: "It is a pleasure to meet all of you. If you would follow me, I will show you to your rooms. Weiss's mother is excited for you all to spend time here."

Topaz: "98…99…100. Ready or not here I come!"
Opening his eyes, Topaz turns to try and find where the girls are hiding. Looking in every nook and cranny, he eventually finds Ariel hiding in the shed behind the Xia Long/Rose house. Ariel goes into the house to try her luck there, while Topaz catches the scent of vanilla in the air. Following the scent, he comes across a field of wildflowers.
Topaz: "You know Neo, using your semblance in hide and seek is kind of cheating."
Hearing the sound of glass shattering behind him, he turns and sees a pouting Neo crossing her arms over her chest.
Neo: "And using your sense of smell is as well."
Topaz: "I only used it because I knew you would do something like this."
Neo: "Bully."
Topaz: "Come on, we still have to find Haley and Yue."
Walking back to the house, Topaz hears giggling off to his left. Looking in that direction, Topaz sees a small pair of legs poking out from underneath the bushes. Walking over to the bush, he stops and reaches out for the feet.
Topaz: "Hmm, I wonder where Haley could be. Maybe I'll just ask this pair of legs that are just lying here."
Grabbing the legs, he gently pulls Haley out from her hiding spot, laughing at the embarrassed expression on Haley's face.
Haley: "My feet were sticking out that much?"
Topaz: "Haha, yes. Pretty much everything below your knees was visible."
Haley: "Aww, that's too bad. Did you find Yue yet?"
Topaz: "Nope, she's the last one we have to find."
Haley: "I know where she is, but I'm not going to tell you."
With that, she runs off towards the house, laughing with glee. Chuckling to himself, Topaz shakes his head and resumes his search for Yue. After nearly an hour, Topaz meets with Ariel and Neo to see if they've had any luck.
Ariel: "I haven't found her. She's clever."
Neo: "I think I know where she is, and I gotta say. I'm impressed."
Topaz: "Thinking on it, hide and seek with her may not have been the best idea. She survived on her own in the forest hiding from grimm for who knows how long."
Ariel: "As long as she is having fun, that's all that matters."
Hearing the grass crunch near them, Topaz turns and sees Haley walking over to them with a piece of paper in hand.
Haley: "Yue told me to give you this. I think she's getting bored with how long you guys are taking."
Topaz: "Maybe next time I'll let you try to find all of us. Semblances allowed."
Haley: "No! I'm sorry."
Topaz: "I'm just teasing. Let me see the note."
{To find a cat you must think like a cat.}
Ariel: "What does that mean?"
Neo: "Can you smell her Topaz?"
Topaz: "I haven't tried yet, gimme a sec. Yep, I can. Follow me."
Following Yue's scent, Topaz, Neo and Ariel find themselves at the front of the house where Raven is sitting with Summer and Sara. And in Raven's arms is a small black cat.
Ariel: "After all this time, she was sitting in Raven's lap."
Topaz: "Credit where credit is due. She had a great hiding spot, and was comfortable."
Yue: "You guys finally found me. Did I win?"
Topaz: "Big time Yue. That was a clever hiding spot."
Yue: "Thank you."
Standing outside with everyone, the sound of an approaching airship puts Topaz on edge. Letting everyone know someone is coming, Topaz goes into the house and listens to what's going on outside. After a few minutes, he can hear footsteps approaching. Taking a quick peek to see who it is, he is surprised to see a squad of Atlas robots approaching in formation.
????: "Ariel Tumaki and Neo Politan you are required to return to Atlas."
Ariel: "Why?"
????: "General Ironwood's orders."
Neo: "So he demands we return, and is trying to enforce it by sending a squad of his mechanical soldiers. Great way to make us want to return."
????: "Return peacefully, or by force. The choice is yours."
Tai: "Is there a problem girls?"
Ariel: "Hey Tai. Apparently General Ironwood is forcing us to return, by force."
Tai: "He wouldn't dare."
????: "Tai Xiao Long, General Ironwood requests your assistance along with the assistance of Summer Rose."
Tai: "No, I'm not happy with how James has been acting recently. Tell James that Neo and Ariel will be staying here with us."
????: "Negative, they will return with us. Should you try anything, our hands will be forced."
The robot closest to Neo grabs her roughly by her forearm and drags her to the group. Another reaches for Ariel, but Ariel ducks under the arm. The robot instead grabs her by her hair and yanks her to the ground.
Ariel: "Ow! Let go of me."
Neo: "You are making a big mistake."
????: "Silence. You will comply."
Furious with how the robots are treating his girlfriends, Topaz throws open the door and rushes towards them. Before the robots have a chance to react, they are all destroyed.
Topaz: "Are you ok girls?"
Neo: "I'm fine. Probably going to have a bruise but that's it."
Topaz: "Good, and you Ariel?"
Ariel: "Pretty sure it ripped out some of my hair, and my neck hurts now. Possibly minor whiplash."
Topaz: "If I ever see General Ironwood again, I am punching him in the jaw. Not only has he pissed me off for what happened, he has now hurt you two."
Tai: "Topaz, I know how you are feeling, but don't go doing anything crazy."
Topaz: "I won't… yet."
Tai: "I'll take Neo and Ariel inside and give them a quick once over to confirm they are ok. You take care of the mess."
Topaz: "What would you recommend?"
Tai: "I don't know. Go bury them in the forest or something like that."
Shrugging his shoulders, Topaz goes over to the shed and takes a tarp out from it. Throwing the shredded remains of the robots over top of it, he then drags the tarp into the forest. After walking for a while, he starts digging in a dark area of the forest. Tossing the robot bits into the hole, he covers it with dirt and makes his way back towards the house. Returning the tarp to the shed, he enters the house and hops into the shower to clean himself up.
