"Winter, what are you doing here?" asked Weiss.

"I think we both know the answer to that Weiss. Though this is still surprising to say the least." replied Winter.

"So wait you to know each other?" asked Jaune.

"This is my sister Winter." explained Weiss.

"Oh well that explains the resemblance." said Jaune. He walked over to Winter and held out his hand, "It's nice to officially meet you, and since I know your name it's only fair I introduce myself. My name is Jaune Arc."

Winter shook his hand a said, "Likewise, it's nice to finally meet you in person Jaune."

"I'm surprised he didn't use that dumb pickup line." said Weiss. Many who didn't know about it were confused by that.

"In his defence he doesn't know its a pick up line. Nicolas over here told him to use it when he meets a girl. Of course he interpreted that as every time he meets a girl not when he meets a girl." explained Arnold. Everyone then looked at the sister of arc, and he kinda shrank in his seat.

Weiss was still trying to wrap her head around all this and just walked off for a bit. Jaune noticed this and felt a little down at that, but then he was surprised was Winter brought him into a hug. This really surprised Jaune and he then look toward Winter.

"I just thought I would take this opportunity to thank you in person, for all our talks and helping me I mean." said Winter.

"Winter… what are you talking about?" asked a confused Weiss. Winter was a little surprised if not a little nervous, it looks like her other secret was about to come out.

"You helped me get the confidence to accept myself even when I was afraid what my father would think, and even helped me get the courage to tell Ciel how I felt about her. So I just wanted to tell you… thank you for being a good friend." said Winter with some tears in her eyes, when Jaune saw this he decided to return the hug.

"Winter I had no idea… but I would never judge you, I hope you know that." said Weiss who walked over and gave her sister a hug. Winter was happy to hear this and then looked toward her mother.

"Don't worry dear it's all right, in fact I'm happy for you this means you won't be trapped in a miserable marriage like me." assured Willow. Winter then turned to Qrow expecting him to have some form of comment.

Qrow noticed this and shrugged, "Hate to disappoint you Ice-queen but I may bust your chops about a lot of things, but someone's sexuality isn't one of them." said the dusty old bird who then drank some of his whisky. This had surprised Winter even further though it was a pleasant one at least.

"No problem Winter, what are friends for? This gives me even more reason to find some way to get us out of here, so you can see Ciel again." said Jaune.

Winter felt happy about this and was glad to have a friend like Jaune.

Winter in the theater felt the same way as her alternate. Jaune had been there for her in the past even when they didn't know each others names, and for that she was grateful.

Weiss was also grateful to Jaune for helping her sister, and she was filled with even more guilt for how she treated him in the past. Maybe she shouldn't have been so quick to judge him and think he was like her previous suitors.
