A/N: So, how about something fun.


Petal 01 - Weapon Junkie


Patch tends to be a quiet place. The silent and tranquil neighborhoods, the friendly faunus and huntsmen, the beautiful crystal lake the is strangely devoid of grimm. In one part of Patch, however, things are the exact opposite- a small house lies off the beaten path, and inside, a tinkering Ruby with her Crescent Rose along with her sister, Yang, who decided to help her on this normal day.

"Screwdriver." asked Ruby, as she held out her hand.

"Here."

"Nozzle."

"Here."

"Dust Cartridges."

"Here."

"Cookies." said Ruby as she opened her mouth.

"Here." said Yang as she fed her. Ruby bit a few times before swallowing.

"Milk." said Ruby as she positioned her lips.

"Here." said Yang, as she shoved her breast to her face. Ruby drew in her teat- before spitting it out and going beet red.

"...That is not what I meant by milk."

"Are you...udderly furious?" grinned Yang, as she held up her shirt.

"Please stop screwing around."

"Hey, I'm not the one doing the screwing here."

"Yang..." said Ruby as she dropped her tools onto the table.

"Oh come on! You have to admit, it's a funny joke."

"How about you start making one."

"Ooohhhh... Sick burn there sis." said Yang as she feigned insult.

"Come on, I'm almost done. Let's...just finish this alright?" asked Ruby, already tired from her endless tweaking.

"Alright- alright. So...what's next?" asked Yang.

"Umm... Arc welding's next." said Ruby.

"Righto~" said Yang as she passed the gear to her.

Ruby continued to tinker for a few more minutes, before she triumphantly leaped up in glee, as she screamed:

"DONE!"

"Sooo...whatcha made this time?" asked Yang. "You already made a Scythe, then you made it to a gun. What could possible be the next best thing?"

"It's now also a bazooka." gloated Ruby as she waved her weapon around.

"...That is the stupidest thing you could possibly think of Rubes."

"Hey, you'll thank me when it blows away some jerk when he's trying to kill me next time."

"This...can only end well." said Yang as she shrugged her shoulder in defeat.

"Right! Now for a test drive! To the yard!" shouted Ruby as she ran outside.


"Already thinking of poses?" asked Yang as she leaned on a tree, watching her sister play around in stances.

"Hey! I don't judge you when you practice your jokes in the mirror."

"Just...don't aim it at our house alright. Last time you "tested" your masterpiece, you blew a hole in dad's room- destroying his Dust Enhancer."

"That was...just a minor miscalculation. And he didn't minded it." said Ruby as she spun Crescent Rose around her.

"That's because he ran into the forest crying about wasted crystals."

"Oh psshh. Dad can always get another Dust Enhancer. It's super cheap around here." said Ruby as she waved off her warnings.

"Just be sure to keep your "precious" completely under control. His current Dust Enhancer is a reward from his mission from Vale. Professor Ozpin himself gave it to him himself. Not to mention it's an antique from Mistral."

"Ooohhh~~ Mistral Dust Enhancer~ My specialty is making Dust glow seven colors of the rainbow~"

"Don't say I didn't warn ya." pleaded Yang once more.

"Don't worry one bit sis! I just loaded an empty shot in it. It's just going to create a safe harmless firework." said Ruby as she spun Crescent Rose into her gun form. "Get a load of this!"

Ruby quickly fired into the sky- the shot leaving a trail of smoke before exploding in an array of smoke high up into the air. Yang whistled- impressed her sister had managed to make a working weapon- maybe lucks changing for her.

"See? Nothing wrong. Working as intended." gloated Ruby.

"Hey girls I'm hooommmeee!" Ruby and Yang turned their heads, to see their Father pull up from a small aura-powered hover bike. "And check it out! I got this for saving a town from bandits. It's a little banged up, but nothing a little elbow grease can fix."

"Hey dad!" said Ruby. She walked a few steps before jolting forward as she felt Yang went passed her.

"THAT IS SOOO COOL!"

"And the best part- It's yours Yang!" said Tai.

"REALLY?! YOU MEAN IT!?"

"Sure! I mean, I haven't gotten you a congratulations present for entering beacon right?" said Tai. Soon enough she felt Yang hug him so tight all the while muttering thank yous and hell yeahs. "That's my warrior." Now noticing her daughters, his eyes widened as he eyed Ruby.

"Ru-Ruby...What is that?"

"Oh? This? It's Crescent Rose- now a bazooka!"

"Oh Gods no."

"Ah come on dad! Can't you trust me more with my tinkering? I even made it work! See!" said Ruby as she fired another shot in the air. Tai immediately dropped to the ground, dragging Yang expecting the worst. A loud bang pierced the then silent forest, as he slowly looked up, to see a puff of smoke high in the air.

"WHEW! That was a close one."

"See? Nothing to worry abo-." gloated Ruby as she put her precious on her shoulder.

"BANG!" "PWOOSH!" "BOOM!"

Ruby lurched forward, as she knocked herself to the ground. A loud whistling sound came, then a crash, then a mighty crunch rang in her ears, as she regained composure.

"What the-"

"MY ROOM!"

"MY BIKE!"

"MY DUST ENHANCER!"

"MY BUMBLEBEE!"

Ruby stood up, feeling a sense of dread as it crawled down her spine. She looked to find, her father kneeling in despair, his spirit leaving his body as he watched his room burn in great balls of fire- his books, his bed, his prized possession gone. To his left, kneeled Yang, her arms in the ground in defeat, her aura flaring in dangerous intervals.

"So, uh yeah that was fun- Oops well look at the time. I got to uh, feed Zweii. ItwasfundadbutIgottogobaaaaaiiiiiiiiiii~~~~" said Ruby as she ran for her dear life.

"RUBY...WHAAAHAHAHAAAIIIIIII?!" mourned Tai as despair filled him.

"YOU'RE DEAD MEAT SIS." grunted Yang, as she stood up and chased her sister.

"Note. to. Self. Never make a bazooka on Crescent Rose. Maybe a flamethrower-"

"WHERE ARE YOU YOU LITTLE MIDGET?!"

"...Nah. Not worth it."


A/N: So I thought of filling some gaps in my story- with short stories that are, relatively harmless funny sidestories that occurs in Rose Addictions. This will have little to no smut, but will just be...like 4-komas. I have no analogy. I'm sorry.

As always. Have fun.
