Weiss smiles as she rounds a corner and slides to a stop behind a display of instant noodles to wait for Ruby to signal her. In hindsight, coming to the Wulffmart in Vale seemed like a good idea. It was their turn to go grocery shopping for the communal kitchen they share with team JNPR, and several teams were still lingering from Vytal festival. She and Ruby had gotten the pooled money for the week and had entered innocently enough to buy the mountains of food everyone consumes on a weekly basis.

That was before they had encountered Reese Chloris and Sun Wukong, both of whom were also sent by their teams to go purchase food and supplies. Ruby and Sun of course had been chatting innocently enough when Reese had stormed up to her favorite wolf faunus reaper and demanded to know what she was doing talking to her boyfriend. Things had only gone downhill from there, as she herself had quickly run up to defend HER partner and not so secret girlfriend. Soon fangs had been barred, challenges spoken quickly, and weapons chosen.

But how it turned into a nerf gun war was anyone's guess. Especially since she didn't really have the money to afford one of the surprisingly expensive little toy guns. But Ruby had simply handed her one of them with extra darts and pulled her away as they quickly drew up a battle plan. Since Ruby is obviously the better shot, Weiss would be the more mobile of the two, luring them into a trap, where the reaper would be waiting. Giving her a kiss that set her tail wagging so quickly it was a blur, Ruby ran off quickly to set up with her toy sniper rifle while Weiss set up her own little ambush point in the women's section. Her diminutive height giving her an advantage as she can hide in the clothes racks themselves and wait.

Weiss smiles as she catches the scent of bananas that always precedes Sun and waits. Soon enough, she can see him darting between racks as he hums the Mission: Implausible theme under his breath. Doing her best to not giggle, she shifts slightly on her bare feet as she readies her weapon, her heels currently in Ruby's possession as they would be too noisy for the task at hand. Lifting it slowly so as not to catch his surprisingly keen vision, she barely pokes the loaded barrel between a hideous green and taupe colored shirt and a blouse in a shade of purple so lurid it was actually making her a bit queasy.

She was surprised at how loudly he screamed as she pulled the trigger and caught him square between the eyes with the orange tipped blue foam dart. So loudly in fact that Reese was on them both in an instant, her own gun sending a volley of the darts rapidly in the direction that he pointed, which was the rack next to her. Not looking a gift Beowolf in the mouth, she darts out rapidly while Reese wastes precious seconds reaching for her second toy pistol. Her sharp hearing catches Ruby's whistle a split second before she hears the action being pulled back on her much larger rifle, and she leaps to the side.

Unfortunately, Reese also spotted Ruby at the very last second and also leaped away before she was tagged with one of the Reaper's grey tipped darts. But before the hoverboard riding girl can straighten herself back up, Weiss was already moving quickly through the little girl's section, all while firing darts over her shoulder as quickly as she can chamber them, all the while Ruby also pelting the green haired girl's cover with more darts to buy her time to escape.

Sun however was nowhere near amused, as he was Reese's cover. Although Weiss has to admit, he screams more like a girl than Jaune when Cinder is chasing him again over Pyrrha. But enough of that, she has to lure Reese to Ruby for the proverbial kill shot so they can win once again. Which is how she now finds herself behind the aforementioned instant noodles that Blake adores with plenty of tuna. But her only warning of being attacked comes right before she hears the pop of a dart firing. Throwing herself to the side, she tucks and rolls before coming to her feet, her own gun pointed directly at….

"Blake?!"

The cat ninja smirks as she reloads. "Yang and I got bored with waiting in the car, so we came in to check on you. And would you look at that? You're in here playing with toy guns instead of buying food."

Weiss stands up straight. "It is a matter of honor, Blake Belladonna. My girlfriend was insulted by that hoverboard riding twit, and I shall not let it stand." Before either of them could make a move, a sudden roar erupts, followed by a familiar bellow.

"You blew my cover, Yangarang!" Ruby cries out as the sound of a nerf gun firing rapidly can suddenly be heard.

"Ouch! Stop it Rubes! I said I was sorry!" The taller woman dashes by, all the while getting pelted by foam bullets. Weiss sighs as she fires a single round at Blake, who is distracted by the alluring figure of her own girlfriend.

"Stay out of it." Weiss tells Blake calmly before running off, leaving a stunned panther faunus behind her.

"Get back here Weiss!" Blake cries out as she takes off in hot pursuit. "At least give me the grocery money! We're hungry!"

"Never! I have a war to win!" Weiss cries out as she turns the corner and vanishes into men's clothes.

"Hey Weiss?"

"Yes Ruby?" Weiss asks as another Nerf bullet flies past, barely missing one of her wolf's ears.

"When did we lose control of this?" Ruby asks as she puts a pistol around a corner and fires a shot blindly, yet still hitting Jaune in the face thanks to her keen hearing.

"Around the time you admitted you spent all the food money on Nerf guns and bullets for the two of us." Weiss answers as she unloads a full six rounds at Ren, who was trying to sneak up on them from the top of a shelving unit. "And how long will this keep up until they remember we're both wolves with excellent hearing?!"

"That's it!" Ruby declares as she snipes Pyrrha from a distance, startling the red head and causing her to fall from the frozen food section. "We're faunus Weiss! Let's act like it!"

Weiss raises an eyebrow. "Like hunt them like a pack?! That doesn't work on Grimm!"

Ruby grins as she reloads all her guns. "But they aren't Grimm are they? And they aren't playing by the rules anymore, so why should we?"

Weiss gives her a matching grin. "So what's the plan? Use my Glyphs and your speed?"

"Yup!" Ruby replies simply as she chambers a fresh dart into her sniper rifle. "We go hunting, and tie them up as we catch them all. But we have to take Blake out first, otherwise she's going to figure it out the fastest."

Weiss closes her eyes for a moment as her ears wiggle. "She's close. It sounds like she's arguing with Yang."

Ruby nods as she slings her sniper rifle onto her back and takes a roll of duct tape out from her belt. "You keep Yang busy. I'll grab Blake before she even knows what hits her."

Weiss nods as she loads a fresh magazine into her rifle type gun. "Got it. Once you have Blake, I'll bind Yang with a glyph." Weiss and Ruby share one more gentle kiss before vanishing in a swirl of rose petals, earning more than one groan from the others trying to sneak up on them.

Jaune Arc groans as he runs at a full sprint for the doors. He knows he's doomed, and simply wants to escape. Ruby and Weiss have once again proven why they are the best of the first year duos, as they have systematically and methodically hunted everyone down one by one.

He had been standing next to Nora when they had pounced on the ginger, all while growling and snarling. He had no idea where their Nerf guns had gone, and considering the looks on their faces as well as the shriek of terror from Nora, he quickly came to the conclusion that cowardice is indeed the better path to honor.

But the noises! Oh sweet Goddesses the noises! The howling and snarling! Now he sees why his older sister Joan always warned him to never piss a faunus off! Especially a faunus like Weiss who has to fight for everything she has already.

An angry Weiss Schnee is truly a horrible sight to behold. And an equally angry Ruby Rose makes it ten times worse. But a Ruby furious about her shredded cloak and a Weiss furious about her mother's tiara makes it seem like the hounds of hell themselves were after them all.

He can hear them gaining on him now, and he is terrified. He can see his rather unimpressive life flashing before his eyes now. But he's too scared to look back now. Not while Nora's screams and her actually begging for help still rings in his ears. No, he can't stop running. He has to break free! He has to get the rest of the teams from Beacon, like CFVY or CEMN! They can maybe stop them!

He can feel their claws grabbing at him now. He can feel their hot breath on his neck. A scream erupts from his lips as he feels one of them take a firm hold of the hood of his Pumpkin Pete's sweatshirt. Hopefully history will look kindly upon him in his final moments as he feels his bladder empty before the darkness overtakes him at last….

"And that's for making me use my summons!" Weiss shrieks as she kicks Jaune for the fourth time in the ribs. "Owie!" She yells as she hops around on her right foot, while holding her suddenly injured left foot.

"Calm down Weiss. At least your Alpha caught him before he got away." Ruby chastises her gently as she sits off to the side holding her torn cloak and Weiss's bent tiara. "And he did lead us to everyone trying to get away from us."

Weiss sighs as she sits down and checks her foot. "True. I guess we do owe the village idiot one in the end. Otherwise we never would have caught Ren at all if Jaune hadn't been attached to him like a leach."

"MISS ROSE! MISS SCHNEE! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!" A familiar voice suddenly echoes through the Wulffmart, causing both young women to cringe.

"We are so busted." Ruby groans as Weiss stands up and dusts herself off.

"Ruby Rose, I believe it's time for us to partake in a time honored tradition that all children perform at least once in their lives." Weiss declares as she stands proudly.

Ruby just raises an eyebrow in response. "And what would that be Weiss?"

Weiss gives her not so secret girlfriend a wink. "Run like hell and pray Goodwitch can't keep up!" She declares as she turns on her heels and bolts for the rear door. Ruby takes a moment to reflect on how far Weiss has come since that fateful day on the airship docks. Weiss was so scared of her own shadow back then, afraid of doing one wrong thing that would upset her father even more. But now?

Weiss Schnee has grown comfortable with who and what she is. And Ruby couldn't be prouder of her.

"GET BACK HERE THIS INSTANT MISS SCHNEE!" Although now may not be the best time to reminisce. With a smile still on her face, Ruby activates her semblance and darts forward while scooping her fellow wolf faunus and girlfriend off her feet. They smile sweetly at each other as they leave a trail of rose petals and snowflakes behind them….
