Disclaimer: I do not own any of the RWBY characters or Remnant- all rights go to Monty Oum.

A/N: Each scene is labelled with the time it took place and the POV it is from, I have tried to switch up which character's POVs I use but some are just easier for me to write than others I guess. Anyway I'll stop rambling, enjoy this fic and all reviews/ criticisms are welcome.

Sunday Evening- Blake

"RUBY! I can't take this anymore! You need to control that menacing sister of yours before I take matters into my own hands." Weiss all but screeched at her cowering team leader. Poor Ruby Blake mused.

"M-menacing is a bit harsh don't you think?" The fierce look Ruby received was a promise of more ranting so she hastily continued, "Look I know Yang can be troublesome-"

"Infuriating." Weiss interjected.

"But she is only trying to have some fun."

"You would call her maddening antics fun?!"

"Well that's what she thinks, you know, just harmless practical jokes."

"And as our team leader what do you think?"

Slightly taken aback by this interrogation of sorts Ruby began to mumble "The Cardin one was kinda funny and…" She trailed off as Weiss took a step ever closer seeming to tower over her though they were of relatively similar heights. "I guess I could tell her to tone it down a bit?" Ruby blurted before she turned Weiss' rage into a full blown blizzard. Here we go again.

"Tone it down? If she gets in trouble the repercussions could affect all of us! If she was expelled for instance, what would become of our team?"

"W-well…"

"Or do you fancy being the only three person team in Beacon? If they wouldn't have to kick us all out that is. We could be known as the three musketeers oh wouldn't that just be-" Weiss stopped abruptly as she noticed Ruby giggling.

"Heh. Without the 'y' our name sounds like team rub."

The noise of pure fury that was received for that remark drew the undivided attention of the only other occupant in team RWBY's room whose amber eyes glanced over the top of her novel at the pair. Weiss noticed Blake's slight involvement and questioned "What are your thoughts on this mess? I should hope it is an infinitely more mature opinion than this idiot's" Weiss pointed her thumb at Ruby, who frowned slightly at the harsh reprimand.

"If you count d'Artagnan there were sort of four musketeers." Blake offered up with a straight face.

"I cannot deal with this right now." Weiss huffed and stamped out of the dorm closing the door with a 'smack' which rung through the air long after her departure.

Ruby sighed despairingly whilst Blake smirked slightly at the melodramatics she had begun to become accustomed to whenever Weiss was irritated, which was rather often.

"Do you think I should talk to Yang?" Ruby asked softly as Blake lowered her book to allow for a proper conversation to unfold.

"Possibly. However from my observations I would say that it is in Yang's nature to prank so would it really be that easy to change her personality?"

"She's always been this way I don't think we could just change her."

"There is your solution then, but we may need to warn her to at least not prod at Weiss so often or do anything which actually could get her expelled."

"Thanks Blake. I'll mention it to her soon, what are you reading?"

Last Week- Cardin's Comeuppance Part 1- Yang

Yang cursed under her breath as the door to team CRDL's dorm let out a long and high pitched 'creak' when she gently pushed it open. It was in moments such as this when she desperately wished to have the same ninja like stealth skills as her partner. However the four boys continued to snore obnoxiously loudly as she entered their dorm room under the cover of the late night shadows, she was aided by some of Blake's darker articles of clothing which were covering her and shrouding her identity in case of waking one of the beasts.

After waiting a second to let her eyes adjust Yang could easily make out which bed the hulking form of Cardin Winchester resided in and she stepped ever closer. A slight rustle to her left had her almost bolting out of the door until she realised it was just one of them turning over in their sleep. She'd overheard an interesting discussion between two of Cardin's team members last week relating to the fact that Cardin could apparently sleep through anything, the reason for his common lateness to morning classes. To Yang's delight they hadn't been lying and she managed to execute her devious payback plan perfectly, leaving the still snoring team behind as she giggled her way back towards her own dorm.

So caught up in her joy was she that Yang almost ran into someone on her way back. She let out a surprised 'oof' as they collided and both recovered before taking in each other's appearances with shock. Well what a surprise, Yang thought.

"Yang?!"

"Blake?!" The girl in question glanced up and down Yang's form in disbelief.

"Are you wearing my clothes?!" Uh oh.

"Shhh! Uh, maybe? Yes. What are you doing out this late?" Yang attempted to deflect.

"Answer my questions and I'll think about answering yours, why are you wearing my clothes and why are you out at this time?" Oh she is a tricky one.

Seeing no room for compromise in Blake's stern expression Yang answered her, "I was paying our dear friend Cardin Winchester a visit. Except he doesn't know about it yet, I don't own any clothes that blend into the shadows like yours so I sort of borrowed some."

"Paying him a visit?"

"He deserves what is coming to him. So what or whom has you out after curfew then?

"It's a full moon tonight." Blake answered as if that explained everything.

"And...?"

"I'm going to get a better view out in the courtyard. How did you get into Cardin's room anyway?"

"Oh I may have stolen Russel's scroll, he thinks he lost it though." Yang gave her signature wink as Blake shook her head in feigned irritation but the slight amusement was obvious.

"Diabolical" Blake muttered.

"That's me, so could I join you on your trip?"

"If you must." Yang took the smirk sent her way as encouragement and they set off to see the full moon, a rare occurrence since it was broken up for most of its orbit.

Monday Afternoon- Yang

Placing the box of chillies into her 'secret hiding spot' Yang hurriedly moved to sit on Blake's bed as she heard an electronic key click on the other side of the dorm room door. She was still slightly flushed at almost being caught but she let out a light sigh of relief when only Blake entered the room. Though her partner may not approve of her practical jokes wholeheartedly she wouldn't completely explode if she was suspicious enough to wheedle the truth out of Yang. "Hey Blakey!" Yang greeted loudly as if the sheer volume of her words would confuse the other enough to avoid any probing questions about how guilty she looked.

"Hi?" Blake stated in a questioning tone, apparently that hadn't been as smooth as Yang had hoped. It seems Belladonna isn't easily fooled.

"Where's the little sis and ice princess?"

"They're probably at the library, why are you on my bed?"

"Wow they sure do work hard those kids don't they?" Yang replied, obviously avoiding the question that was now filling the room with an awkward atmosphere. Blake simply gazed at the blonde, she wasn't going to back down and make this easy. Yang gave in to the silence and began to ramble, "Well… uh… did you hear about that rumour with Ozpin and Goodwitch? Crazy huh?"

"Are you implying that you didn't start that rumour Yang?"

"Wha-What?! Give me credit I would have made it much more scandalous." She winked, another one of her distraction techniques, as she lifted herself into her own bunk above Blake who was now perched in Yang's vacated spot.

"Yang, you know that your pretty face won't distract me from what I asked you." Blake called up to her. Pretty huh?

"Oh is that so? You sound rather confident there Belladonna but none can resist my charm."

"Just because you managed to get Jaune so flustered that he walked into a post one time doesn't make you Queen Flirt."

"I'll have you know that has happened more than once and Queen Flirt is one of my alter-egos"

"Sounds rather stripper like." At this Yang's head peered below to watch Blake's face as she questioned her.

"And how would you know that miss Belladonna? Have you been sneaking out at night to engage in illicit activities?" She had gotten a blush from Blake for her suggestive tone there. How cute.

"You're the one who attempts to 'sneak' but ends up waking half the school as you undoubtedly fall over or smash something precious."

"I'm sensing some deflection away from you in that answer."

"Well you'd know all about that. What were you doing in here before I came in?" Well played Blake. Well played.

Deciding honesty was probably best seeing as she'd toyed with her for a while Yang answered, "I was storing something for my next prank, did you want to help me with it? You know we could be partners on the battlefield and in crime too."

"No."

"Awww. Come on Blakey, it'll be fun!" As Blake was about to turn her down again Ruby burst into the room wringing her hands and with a blush on her cheeks. "What's up sis?" Yang asked her.

"You need to be careful with your pranks Yang, Weiss and me are worried about you getting in trouble."

"Huh. So the Snow Angel put you up to this? She's only worried that I'll ruin her perfect reputation, little does she know her bad attitude means she does that for herself." Ruby reddened considerably more as Weiss stepped up from behind her to send Yang an icy 'I-could-even-murder-innocent-puppies' look which served to gain a guffaw from Yang in return.

"Before you start on what I'm sure is a great speech Weiss I'm going to, for my sister's sake, attempt to talk this out with you." As the heiress looked ready to interrupt Yang held up a hand and continued, "you cannot say that I am not a valuable team member on the battlefield and even though we all know that what I lack in dedication to finishing homework assignments I more than make up for in good looks I can understand your concern. I shall offer you a deal." She gave an impish smile to the now incredibly confused Weiss.

"A deal?" She just can't help herself.

"Yes. If you can play a prank on me good and proper, not some cheap amateur trick, before the end of this week I will cut down on my pranks."

"I'm afraid 'cut down' isn't specific enough." Weiss replied in a business like manner.

"That's fair, I will cut down to no more than one per week and won't brag about any successful pranks to the whole cafeteria ever again. Is it a deal?"

"Hmmm. And what exact time do I have to prank you by?"

"By midnight on Sunday, seeing as it's Monday today I think that's plenty of time to plan something good don't you? Is it a deal?" That last question seemed too hurried to Weiss.

"Wait, what if I am unable to prank you by then what are the conditions? Not that I'll need to know anyway seeing as I don't fail."

"Oh fighting talk, I like it! Well if you fail you will no longer be able to complain about my pranks and I will prank you to show you how a master works."

"I accept those terms, have you written them up to sign?"

"I just thought of it now! Of course I haven't written up a contract."

"I have" Blake piped up as she presented a paper she had been scribbling on with the conditions written out and space for their signatures at the bottom.

"Do you take notes of all our conversations or something?" Yang questioned to which she received a sarcastic head tilt and a pen in her face.
