Taiyang (holding something behind his back) : Okay girls I have a surprise for you!

Yang : Did you shave?

Ruby : Is uncle Qrow here?

Taiyang : What no and that’s hurtful.

Yang : What is it?

Taiyang shows them a small black and white corgi.

Yang and Ruby : A DOG!!!

They both rush to hug and pet the small cute animal.

Yang : Can I name him!?

Ruby : I want to name him?!

Taiyang (Chuckling) : I beat you both to it. His name’s Zwei.

Zwei lets out a bark.

Yang (looks at the dog) : He does look like a Zwei.

Ruby (curiously) : Really?! But why did you pick him?

*Flashback*

Taiyang was about looking around, finding which pet to choose until he saw the small corgi walking around with a long stick in it’s mouth.

Taiyang (mentally) : Now that’s a cool dog.

*****

Taiyang : He stood out the most.

Ruby : Cool!! 

Taiyang  : Yep. Cool ol’ Zwei

Taiyang *trying to grind against a rail but fails* : Dammit!! I almost had it.

Qrow *laughing* 

Taiyang : I bet you can’t do it.

Qrow : I know I can’t but I know someone who can.

Taiyang : Who?

**5 minutes later**

Qrow launches a cone down the same railing and it lands it perfectly. He smiling smugly.

Taiyang : Fuck you Qrow.

Qrow : Have you ever had your mouth hole fingered?

Taiyang : Who the fuck starts a conversation like that?!

Qrow : Answer the question.

10 A.M.

Raven *just gotten out of bed* : Tai tell me the words I want to hear.

Taiyang : I have coffee.

Taiyang *getting up from bed and letting out a deep breath* : Alright I can do this.

He did his morning exercises, brushed his teeth, showered, got dressed and started making breakfast. 

A young yang woke up to the smell of bacon.

She stopped in her tracks when she heard a familiar whistling toon. One that was played when she was just a baby.

Taiyang : Oh hey kiddo. Can you get Ruby out of bed I made... Why are you crying?

The little girl didn’t know when the tears came but she ran up to her father and hugged his leg, afraid that if she let go then he dad would go like everyone else.

Taiyang buckled as the little girl tackled him and began crying. He had to stop himself form crying, he had denied her a father since a few months she was born and the now not so recent departed of his second wife.

Taiyang *hugging her back* : I’m sorry I haven’t been a good dad. But I promise I will be from now on. I’m sorry.

The two stayed their for awhile before the smell of smoke.

Taiyang : OH FU-UDGE go get your sister before the bacon burns the house.

Yang got off of him and ran for her little sister.

The bacon was saved and the trio had a beautiful breakfast. 

The first of many.

Taiyang : I love you.

Raven *slight blush* : You fucking better. 

***Years later***

Taiyang : I love you.

Summer *walks up to him and kiss his forehead* : I know. Love you too.

Summer : Raven what are you doing?

Raven *grinding up ghost peppers onto a sealed lunch* : Just making sure no one takes his lunch.

Summer : O...kay. But why are you committing a food war crime.

Raven : Some ass hat is stealing Tai’s lunch. Do you know how sad he looks when he gets back from Signal.

Summer : Oh then make sure to add laxatives too. 

Raven : Already did. Now we wait.

*****

Taiyang : RAE YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED AT WORK!!!!

Qrow *sitting alone on a bench, bottle in hand*

A raven lands right next to him and cocks it’s head at him.

Qrow : Leave. You already done enough.

The raven lets out a caw.

Qrow *swings bottle at the bird only to hit the bench* : I said leave.

He looked up to see it flying away, cawing at him as it flew away.

Qrow *huffing and puffing* : And good riddance.

He watched it fly until a cloud covered the bird.

Qrow * a single tear fell* : It’s your fault.

[antman-56]

Qrow : Gods I could go for a drink.

Glynda : Would it kill you to be sober.

Qrow : Yes. 

***Years later***

Qrow *drinking from a bottle* : Here to yell at me.

Glynda sits right next to him.

Glynda : Can I have swing?

Qrow hands her the bottle and she brings it to her lips.

Qrow : Welcome to depression.

[antman-56]

Summer : Qrow...

Qrow stopped in his tracks as he heard his name. He had just finished a mission, he was covered in blood and sweat. If he never unlocked his Aura then he would have died a long time ago.

He turned to see his team leader. Her face

Qrow : What up Sum?

Summer began walking up to him but kept her gaze to the ground.

Qrow : Sum?

He stretched out his hand but was shocked when it went right through her.

Summer : Please stop.

Qrow quickly turned back to where she would be to see nothing but the dirt road ahead.

Qrow : I’m too sober right now.

He reached into his shirt and pulled out his flask. As he drank the bitter liquid we could fell something hugging him.

But eh knew the truth if he stopped drink, she’ll stop showing.

He would never stop.

Even if it killed him.

Qrow *raising a foot sub* : I have a sandwich! I have a sandwich!

Taiyang : You mugged that man.

Qrow *removing plastic of sub* : I just made a joke. I asked him is that for me and he said sure and just gave me it. This is the greatest!

Taiyang : I should’ve asked him for it.

Qrow *takes bit of sub* : This is the best day of my life!

[antman-56]

Summer : Qrow come on your gonna miss the last dance.

Qrow looked up to see Summer in a white with rose emblem as her right shoulder strap.

Summer : You promised me a dance and I will have it Branwen.

Qrow just stood up and accepted Summer’s hand as she guided them to the dance floor. 

Slow music was played to enlighten the mood. 

Qrow could see his sister and his bestfriend dancing a fair bit away but right now he had a small lady to please.

Summer : You stepped on my foot.

Qrow : Oh. Sorry. I’m not really good with dancing.

Summer : it’s alright I’m not either.

Summer clung closer to him.

Summer (teasing) : Your heart’s beating faster.

She smiled.

Summer : I hope this never ends.

***Years have passed***

Qrow held the same rose emblem she wore to prom in one hand and a bottle in the other.

Qrow closed his eyes and brought the bottle to his lips

Qrow : It ended.

[antman-56]

Qrow : This is it!

Taiyang : A pond?

Raven : It was a summer paradise.

Summer : I mean it beats a public pool.

Taiyang : Yeah but at least they kept the pools clean.

Qrow : Right just for a 4 year old to pee in it.

Taiyang sighed.

 Summer : Besides what’s the worse that could happen.

***30 minutes later***

SUMMER : TAI KEEP SWIMMING!!!

Raven, Summer and Qrow are throwing rocks at a giant alligator.

Taiyang (in-between breaths) : Gods...fucking...damn...it!!!!

The alligator kept getting closer and closer.

Qrow took a breath and ran towards them. At the last second he jumped into the air and elbow dropped the alligator’s snot.

Alligator quickly swam away from them.

Summer : ARE YOU INSANE!!!

Raven : Why didn’t I think of that.

 Taiyang (panting): Qrow... you saved my life.

Qrow (panting) : Get me...a cold coke... and we call it even.

Taiyang : Nothing is better on a snow day than a cup of hot coco.

Raven walks in with, wearing nothing but an apron

Raven(smiling) : How about a nice breakfast?

Taiyang : You just want me to put a baby in you.

Raven smiled, turned around and went back to the kitchen. All the while shaking her hips.

Taiyang : This is the life.

*Electric fence*

Taiyang : I can’t be that bad.

Qrow : Then touch it.

Summer : Guys were here on a mission! Not to see-

Raven : Do it cowards!

Qrow : Then you do it!

Taiyang : *goes in and touches the fence*

Taiyang (shakes his hand) : Fuck!! What the hell!!

Raven : Such a pussy.

Taiyang : Then go for it.

Summer : Raven don’t.

Raven : *touches the fence and gives a high pitch scream*

Qrow : I never thought you could make that noise.

Taiyang : I’ve never been more flaccid my entire life.

Raven punches Tai’s arm.

Summer : Gross.

Raven : Qrow, your turn.

Taiyang : Yeah. Or are you chicken.

Summer : Qrow please don’t. For me.

Qrow looks at her and then looks at his sister and best friend making chicken noises.

Qrow : *touches fence*

Qrow (holds hand) : Gods fucking dammit!! What the hell is that fence holding?! Pikachu!!

Summer : Why are you all like this?!

Taiyang : What are you doing?

Qrow : Don’t ask.

Raven : Putting down claymores.

Summer (confused) : Why?

Raven : In case some small animal thinks it’s tough shit.

Summer : That is so unnecessary. 

*Later*

Team STRQ soundly sleeping.

BOOM

Summer : WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!!!

Taiyang : GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!!!

Qrow : Zzzzz....

Raven (snuggling up in sleeping bag) : Your welcome.
