Blake would like to consider herself as an observant individual.

It came with being a being trained to hunt monsters, a survival instinct some would say. Yet in all of the years of her life, Blake had never noticed one thing, one huge thing that was always there. It may have been the fact that Blake had spent most of her life in a city, or even that she had just not simply took the time to look up, but it was still shocking all the same to her.

Team RWBY may have been camping for a weekend, but it didn't mean it was a relaxing trip. After all, it was a school assignment in Grimm infested woods. Naturally, everyone took shifts on watch.

When Blake's turn came, she found Ruby not staring into the woods for Grimm, but staring up. A quick glance up answered the question of why.

Stars.

Suddenly Blake felt very small as she could see the vast reaches of the stars, as they peppered throughout the night's sky, providing a slight illumination to the world. Constellations Blake had read in books were visible to the naked eye. With such a clear sky the shattered moon was even clearly visible to the teen as it seemingly shined in the night's sky.

How did I never notice the stars?

Blake didn't know how long she stared at the sky, lost in the myriad of lights that littered her vision. What pulled her out of her trance was a slight touch, her head jerking to the source of it, Ruby.

"Never been out of the city much, huh?"

Blake slowly shook her head, "No, not really."

Ruby stared back up to the sky, "It reminds me of home." Blake waited for Ruby to continue, "Back on Patch we don't have too many lights outside of Signal… the sky normally looks like this."

"Really?" Blake couldn't imagine living with a view of this every night. She knew that living in the city you couldn't see such a thing due to light pollution.

"Yup!" Ruby popped the p before getting up, "If you wanna visit during Winter break you could see the view- I mean if you would even wanna visit, I know Yang would be happy to have you and dad probably wouldn't mind..." Blake was taken aback by the sudden offer, "I'm sure you got stuff going o-"

"That would be nice." A small smile grace Blake's lips in the dim light of the night as she thought of the offer, "You should go to sleep Ruby, we have a long day tomorrow".

"Goodnight Blake!"

As Ruby walked off to her own sleeping bag, Blake gazed back up at the sky. It was a beautiful landscape of dots and a moon, one which she wouldn't mind seeing every night. However she was far more excited at the thought of spending more time with Ruby then getting to see the stars again. Although both at the same time would be even better.

AU: Can I just say that stargazing is one of coolest things to do? Its one of my few hobbies outside of archery, writing and anime. That or I just walk a lot at night.
