														Epilogue.

At the beginning of the summer, Blake had been under the impression that she'd be spending her vacation as she'd always spent it; going to work and lazing around. She'd never anticipated meeting a model and an actress, the latter of which would become her girlfriend.

And she certainly hadn't expected to be flown out to witness Ruby film one of next season's episodes of Ninjas of Love.

They'd decided on it weeks ago. Ruby's contract with her filming crew and company was that she would fly over to film for one week a month during the school year so she'd still spend the majority of the time focusing on her academics. And Yang would come along with her and use the same week's worth of time for her modeling and photoshoots.

But they'd both decided to invite their girlfriends along for the first week back before school officially began, when it was still technically summer vacation.

Blake and Weiss had excitedly packed their suitcases and made the brief flight with the sisters. They got to stay with them in their trailer for a week now and go to their shoots and filming to watch and support them both.

Blake was absolutely astounded by how quickly Ruby could go from her usual fun-loving self to the rather stoic and serious act of Briar. During break times, Ruby introduced Blake to her on-stage pet snake and showed her around the set as was permitted.

And Weiss was only a few trailers away with Yang, who was busy shooting commercials for beauty projects or posing in a million different outfits to promote new clothing lines. Everything looked absolutely stunning on Yang, but Weiss particularly enjoyed when they would do Yang's hair up in a different style.

When one of the sisters had a break they'd make the walk to go and support the other until all four of them were together again. They went out to have lunch together at the designated time, and then were back to work until evening.

When Ruby and Yang were finally dismissed for the day, the four of them retreated to their very nice trailer to shower and relax. Blake and Weiss made dinner in the kitchen area and called them in when it was ready. Ruby came darting in first, squealing in joy.

"Yaaay! Yummy food!" She took her seat next to Blake and dug into her meal right away. Yang walked in patting her hair with a towel and took her spot next to Weiss.

"It looks amazing. Thanks, hun." She kissed her cheek, something Weiss was more or less used to by now.

Blake had gotten a bit bolder in the weeks since she'd first started dating her girlfriend, so she leaned over and kissed Ruby as well.

"You did an amazing job today."

"Aw thank you, Blake!"

"So when school starts... you're allowed to miss a week a month for filming?"

"Yup! It's in the contract and my agents will work out all the legal stuff with the school! So long as I keep my grades up I'll still be able to graduate normally!"

"It's pretty sweet," Yang commented. "Cuz we don't really see our jobs as work, y'know? It's more like a vacation every month."

"Wish I could say the same," Blake sighed. "But Weiss and I'll keep working evenings at the café. Though we take weekends off during the school year to catch up on work. So we'll still have free time."

"And of course Ruby and I'll be coming by the café every evening when we can to keep you guys company~"

"Yup! And maybe you guys can even come out here with us again sometime!"

"So long as we stay on top of our schoolwork," Weiss said diligently. "I don't see why not."

"That'd be so much fun!" Ruby squealed. "To be able to come back here after a day of filming and you guys'd be here!"

"I'd love that as well," Blake said, leaning in for another kiss to the cheek.

They chatted all throughout dinner before cleaning up the dishes and then changing into their sleep clothes. There was a large couch in the living area which pulled out into an even larger bed, one Ruby and Yang typically fell asleep on together while watching TV.

But now there were two other people to fill in the extra space.

They didn't even bother flicking on the TV tonight though. Once Yang was stretched out in bed she opened her arms invitingly to Weiss. Weiss crawled up slowly and laid herself down at Yang's side, curling into her shoulder comfortably.

Of course that comfort was disrupted a second later when Ruby came racing over and jumped onto the bed full-force, causing the mattress to creak and Weiss to be dislodged from her comfortable spot. She readjusted and muttered something under her breath, but Yang soothed her with a long kiss.

Blake was the last to join them, slowly climbing onto the bed and into Ruby's waiting hug. Ruby pulled herself close instantly and cuddled into Blake's chest, peppering kisses over her collar. Blake hugged her shoulders and kissed her hair and cheeks, trailing her lips along her forehead and temples.

The blankets were pulled up by some sloppy but collective effort and all four girls settled down. There were murmurs of goodnights and sweet dreams and then the room fell silent.

Blake stayed awake a while after the others had drifted off, reflecting on the amazing summer she'd had.

It had started with excitement about her favorite book series being adapted into a televisions series.

Then a crush on the lead actress for her favorite character.

And then she'd found out that crush was living in her neighborhood, going to her grocery store, ordering drinks at her café.

They'd become friends gradually, which had only made Blake fall even harder for her.

And now here they were – girlfriends – cuddled up on the set of the very series that had brought them together.

And they'd be getting to spend a lot more time together in the future during the school year as well.

But for now Blake simply kissed Ruby atop the head one last time and closed her eyes.

And even though she'd be going to sleep now, she knew she'd wake up to this dream all over again tomorrow.
