A/N – This is a 'normal world' AU however faunus exist! As do some mythical creatures ;)

Chapter One – Plans.

Blake sat on the polished, oak planked floor her legs crossed, her back leaning against the worn leather sofa as she listened to the harsh winter winds outside.

Oh and Weiss and Ruby bickering about what the three should do for the winter months. Seeing as their other friends, Nora, Ren and Jaune had decided to go to some massive city many days away from the town the others resided in.

The three friends were currently in Ruby's house the warm cabin providing shelter from the cold night.

"Come on Weiss! Camping would be so much fun!"

The snowy haired girl simply rolled her eyes at the younger girls excitement crossing her arms as she sat on the leather sofa before she flatly answered Ruby once more with:

"Camping in this weather would not be suitable! Do you really want to camp in the snow with nothing but a flimsy tent?"

Ruby let out an exaggerated wail falling onto the floor in front of Blake her eyes cloudy.

Blake could feel her heart strings being pulled as the younger girl got onto her knees turning her famous puppy eyes to the both of them.

"I don't fancy freezing to death!" Weiss said turning away from the looks Ruby was giving her.

Ruby let out another pathetic whine before turning her gaze to Blake.

Blake let out a sigh not even trying before she leaned her head back against the sofa to stare at Weiss.

"Weiss we don't have to camp in a tent you know" she said highly aware of the questioning glances from the other girls.

"A log cabin? With a fire? You can stay warm and make Ruby happy" Blake pointed out, her gaze set on the white haired girl. The girls lips were pursed as she thought. Her brows furrowed before she finally said.

"I suppose a log cabin will do" she barely got out before Ruby let out a high pitched scream of excitement. Jumping up onto her feet Ruby bounced on her heels as Weiss continued.

"But I shall be choosing the cabin as I know the best one" Weiss began before Ruby grabbed hold of heiress, lifting her up and squealing in delight.

"Put me down you dolt!"

Blake tuned out their bickering her cat ear flicking before folding down harshly when Ruby screamed due to the fact Weiss had begun to tickle her.

The faunus shook her head fondly already thinking about the trip to the log cabin.
