Pairings: Just general family and friendship feels

Inspired by: RicardianScholar Clark-Weasley's Tales of Fairies chapter 214, Etiquette Lessons.

Author's Note: I read that chapter and my mind instantly went to RWBY, because let's face it, Ruby and Yang would easily fit in at Fairy Tail. I suggest reading theirs too! Just for reference I'm putting their ages between 13 and 10 for Yang and 11 and 8 for Ruby. They'll have their weapons because I believe that they would already have some crude form of them by this time. I also own nothing.

To The Author That Inspired This Chapter: I really like your Tales of Fairies and that's what inspired me to do this. Please don't be mad!

Ruby bounded into the room she and her team were sharing while on vacation in her hometown of Patch, "Let's go kill some Grimm!"

Yang got up excitedly wholeheartedly agreeing with her half sister. Weiss and Blake on the other hand looked away uncomfortably. "Sorry Ruby." Blake said calmly, "Weiss and I are going to make a social call to her family. It's going to be a high tea event"

Ruby looked up excitedly, "We can meet Weiss's parents! Let's go!" Yang nodded her head looking forward to meeting the white haired girl's family

Weiss was starting to get annoyed. "Ruby! You don't understand! It's a high tea event! You and Yang don't have the social graces necessary to get through it without destroying something!"

"Hey! We do so! We say please and thank you!" Yang shouted, getting angry at the heiress.

"You may have manners but you don't have the etiquette-"

"Actually-" Taiyang said as he and Qrow stood in the doorway, "They both do."

"What?!" Blake said, not believing what the older huntsman was saying.

"Hehe. Yeah, Taiyang and I put them through a class a few years ago."

"Really?" Weiss questioned, interested. "Why?"

Ruby laughed embarrassedly and Yang scratched the back of her head, "Well you see…"

The girls couldn't believe that their father figures were making them do this.

After a small mishap that involved the destruction of several acres of forest, two neighboring houses and possibly a part of their own house, social security had been called. The woman that came basically said that the girls needed some manners or they wouldn't be allowed into any school. So Uncle Qrow and Taiyang forced the two girls into an etiquette class.

"This is so dumb!" Ruby whined as sat in a sterile white class room.

"You've said that a million times!" Yang complained.

"You act like you don't feel the same way!" Ruby snapped.

Before Yang could retort the teacher came in. The woman was as sterile and pristine as the room she had just stepped into. Not a hair was out of place in the bun that was wound so tight the girls scalps ached just looking at it. Her dress was ramrod straight it almost looked as if it had been starched to stay that straight and rigid. "Good morning ladies." She said politely. "Oh dear. I can already see how much you both are in dire need of my class. When a superior walks into a room you should stand."

Ruby scoffed, "You're hardly our superior." The teacher smacked her ruler across Ruby's knuckles. "Ow! What the hell?!" Another smack. "You bas- ouch!"

"This can go on for as long as you wish Ms. Rose." The teacher said frostily. "One way or another I will teach you proper manners. Now, both of you stand up. We'll go through proper greetings today." Then her eyes fell on Yang and narrowed in disapproval. "Tomorrow dear." She said in a too sweet voice, "I would like you to come dressed properly, not as some lady of the night. And I would also like you to keep those bracelets at home. They are not fitting for a young lady.

Yang had to bite her tongue to keep from replying, having seen what happened to Ruby. But shot the teacher a venomous glare and vowed that she would have revenge for the insult placed upon Ember Celica.

The next few hours were a nightmare from hell. As were the following days as both girls were taught how to sit, walk, stand, and speak properly. Both girls finally lost it when their hands were smacked repeatedly for picking up the wrong fork, well more like not using one at all, since they were both pigs when it came to eating.

"I must have revenge!" Yang cried as her body literally went up in flames and her lilac eyes turned red. "I hate that woman! She's so mean to us! I hate rulers! I hate social security workers. And," she growled out, her flames going a notch hotter, "I hate Dad and Uncle Qrow for making us do this!"

"Yang," Ruby began nervously, "I agree with you completely. But can you calm down before we get into even more trouble?"

Yang calmed down, only to smirk at Ruby, "You just want revenge because she won't let you have cookies."

Ruby rolled her eyes, "So what if I do."

Then Yang growled, "I don't even see why we need this! Huntresses don't need this kind of education! We need to learn how to master our weapons! That she won't even let us take in there! We must have revenge!"

Ruby sighed, "Yang as much as I would love to take revenge, it won't do any good! They'll just use it as an excuse to make us take more classes!"

"Damn your right."

"Good thing I have a way of doing both."

"How?"

"We play their game."

"How would that help!?"

Ruby smirked evilly, "How do you think? We'll be the perfect ladies. No more fighting or weapons training nothing uncouth or rude. Perfectly boring. We'll act so prim and proper that Uncle Qrow and Dad will freak out, take us out of this awful class and beg us to return to normal!

"WHAT!?" Qrow and Taiyang shouted interrupting Ruby. "I knew it!" Qrow shouted. "I knew you were playing us! How could you!?"

"How could you put us through that!" Yang retorted. Then she turned to her teammates. "So I agreed to Ruby's plan. But we were both completely clueless so we found some books from the library and practiced in the forest surrounding the house until…

Qrow couldn't believe his eyes.

His nieces were behaving. And not just behaving, they were acting like the perfect ladies. They were dressed nicely in long flowing dresses as they sat at the table having a tea party of all things.

"Yang could you please pass the finger sandwiches?" Ruby asked politely and very sweetly.

"Certainly dear sister." Yang said pleasantly as she passed the sandwiches. "And could you please pass the sugar?"

"This… this… this…" Qrow stuttered, "I need a drink." His hand traveled to his hip, where his flask of wine hung. And was horrified to find it missing. He ran to the kitchen looking for his secret stash only to find it empty as well. "Where'd all the booze go?!" Qrow wailed.

"Why Uncle," Yang said in a shocked tone, "it is far too early to drink alcohol. I do wish you would use the correct term, booze is so….."

"Crude," Ruby finished for her.

"Exactly!" Yang said warmly, "Besides it is course to drink at all."

Qrow and Taiyang stared at their girls as they smiled sweetly back at them. "I knew we shouldn't have sent them to that class." Qrow muttered as he stalked out of the house, with Taiyang following shortly after, both determined to find a drink for their nerves.

After making sure they were gone the girls broke character and high fived. Victory was near.

This continued for days and both girls were fully enjoying the fact that everyone in Patch seemed to be on edge. Not to mention Qrow and Taiyang were more and more creeped out by the day… their teacher on the other hand couldn't have been more delighted, she sang their praises, and hit them less with the ruler, alway a welcomed change.

By the end of that month they were doing so good that the teacher arranged a social tea with the social workers, while the men seemed to have developed a twitch in their left eye.

"I must say," one social worker said, "your children do clean up nicely."

"Y-y-yes." Tai said as Yang neatly wiped her mouth with a napkin, and Ruby had yet to shovel the cookies into her mouth. Unnatural, unnatural, unnatural, unnatural… "They have become so well-behaved."

"Then this test is a success!" The social worker said jollily. "Good manners are the key to preventing unruly behavior."

"Of course, of course."

Just then Remnant decided to deliver what the girls had been waiting for on a silver platter. The doors suddenly blew off their hinges as a group of bandits swaggered in, in seconds they had they social workers pinned to the wall, Qrow and Tai too, the leader was about to unsheathe his weapon-

"AREN'T YOU GOING TO RESCUE US?!"

"Pardon?" Yang said loftily, "We are in the middle of high tea. It is considered terribly rude to leave the table before all persons have finished."

"FOR DUST SAKE! IF YOU HELP US NOW, I PROMISE YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO TAKE THAT CLASS AGAIN!"

"Really?" Ruby said, "Even if someone were to accidentally destroy something?"

"NOT EVEN IF YOU DESTROY A WHOLE TOWN!"

There were three agonizing moments of silence, Yang and Ruby slowly lowered their tea cups, Yang gently wiped her lips, and Ruby nibbled on a cookie…

Then she smirked. "Let's do this." She ordered.

They both leaped into battle. Yang slapped on Ember Celica and started shooting at the gang members. Ruby shifted Crescent Rose into its scythe form and cut down any that tried to get Yang. Then Yang got punched by one of the few still standing, she activated her semblance and started setting things on fire as Ruby covered her with heavy gun/scythe action.

Within five minutes the gang was overpowered and the girls celebrated with cookies, while the social worker cried at their destroyed tea room.

"...And that's how we know how to behave properly," Ruby finished, "so can we come to the event with you guys?"

Yang jumped in and added, "We promise not to start anything unless bandits or another gang show up."

Weiss, who was still in shock from the whole thing, could no longer come up with an argument. "I suppose so." She really couldn't see either of them wearing the correct attire, sitting upright, and not devouring every edible thing in sight, but it sounded like they had done it once, so they can probably do it again. So there shouldn't be a problem.
