Sunlight shining down from between the leaves on the trees caused Summer to block the incoming rays with her hands, before abruptly jolting up. Looking at her hands, an influx of memories bring themselves to the forefront of her brain.

With a sudden panicked gasp for air, I do some breathing exercises to calm myself down, barely stopping myself from having a panic attack. Looking around my surroundings, Summer notices a familiar stump, cleaved at an angle that looks like it was cut down by a blade.
"Dang it, Qrow! Just because you're mad at Raven doesn't mean you can cut down the trees out here!"
"…I'm Home?" She whispers, before her semblance kicks in, a flurry of petals leaving a trail behind her.
Before long, she's standing in front of a familiar home. She tries to open the door, before finding out it's locked. Summer sighs, before checking the front bushes for what appears to be a cookie pot. Reaching in, she pulls out a spare key, and uses it to enter the house.
Summer stands in the entrance for a while, before noticing a cupboard with multiple picture frames on it. She picks one up, as an Older-looking Ruby and Yang stare back at her, both of them doing a peace sign while standing in front of Beacon. On the back of the Picture Frame, it says: "First Day at Beacon Academy". This was put up recently, as the frame looks brand new and still has the sticker on it.
Her eyes slowly tear up, as she realizes how much of her girl's lives she's missed. How small Ruby was, and how alike they look.
All of a sudden, she was grabbed by her hood, and slammed onto the ground, before coming face-to-face with a Fuming Taiyang.
"I don't know who you think you are, but you made a mistake breaking into… this…" He says, before his eyes slowly become pinpricks, as he looks into Summer's eyes. "S- Summer…?"
Summer swallows the saliva in her mouth, before giving a small smile. "Uh… Hi, Tai."
A moment feels like an eternity as they stare into each other's eyes, before they wrap their arms around each other, enjoying each other in a passionate kiss. Both of them barely want to let go, as if the other will fade to dust the moment they let go. After it becomes too much to bear, they separate, as they hold the other in an embrace.
"You- but- how- We- Ozpin- why- Everyone thought you were dead!" Tai stuttered, before letting the words flow out of him, cupping Summer's face with his hands.
"Tai, I know as much about this as you do. I remember… "Her"... tearing my heart out of my chest. I remember seeing a silvery platinum room, with a… Man? He had a pure white body, with a face covered in Gears and Hands, with a smile almost as white as paper. By hands I mean like the kind you would find in a clock… He wore a robe that was covered in clock motifs. It was so strange. I also remember I saw a dragon. Long, Green, with yellow markings and Red-Tipped blades. He told me I had been revived by his Creator." Summer explained, continuing before Taiyang could interrupt. "But the thing that stood out most to me? A small figure, covered in shadows, turning into a Giant, Golden Furred Ape! I say Ape, but it had the Tail of a monkey, so I don't know. But It was at Beacon Academy. It stood in the grounds of Beacon Academy, and the whole school was destroyed! I… I think this might've been a vision of the future. That Giant Ape, It might've been what destroyed Beacon. The Girls, are they going to be okay? Should we go there? I-"
"Summer, Summer, Honey, Slow down. You're going to rile yourself up." Taiyang shushed, holding Summer closer to him. "I… I don't know what to say about this… Listen, I'll talk to Ozpin about this. The Girls are at Beacon. Ruby had been accepted two years early, due to her skills with a Scythe. If you really want to go to beacon, We'll head there tomorrow. It's too late for any traveling right now, as the Grimm might attack us on our way there."
Summer sighed. She wiped the tears away, before nodding.
"Okay, Okay. Thank you… and yes. Tomorrow, we should head to Beacon. It'd be a lot easier for us to prevent that from happening if we're there." She explains, before kissing Taiyang one more time.
"...I missed you." Taiyang says, pulling away from the kiss.
"I missed you too." Summer responds, as they go in for a hug.
"...Dinner?" Taiyang offers, with a smile on his face. Summer's stomach growls, as if responding for her. Taiyang gives out a belly-laugh, as Summer playfully smacks his chest, blushing. "I'll order from that restaurant you loved so much, I'll even get that Pan-Baked Cookie Dessert."
"...That sounds amazing." She says. Taiyang orders, as Summer puts her ear on her chest, feeling his warmth. Once he's done ordering, they lay down on the couch, as they stay held in each other's arms, cuddling.
A/N: Yo! This Interlude had a lot of lore drops, along with the first instance of romance in MKIP. I don't know if there's going to be any future romance, but we'll see.
Leave a comment/review, and I'll get back to it when I can.
